The Tim Weichselbaum Show

Tim Weichselbaum

Tim Weichselbaum is a media mogul, comedian, podcaster and karaoke singer from Chicagoland. He is also his own agent, promotor, hype man, bodyguard, and driver (despite having epilepsy).

Some day he will be a massive success. Or, he’ll stop doing it altogether suddenly, before becoming anything. That will be awfully embarrassing, considering some of the things he says about himself on this podcast.

I don’t think there is a more self-confident person in the Austin comedy scene right now than Tim Weichselbaum. His whole act depends on it. He doesn’t do corny jokes about how he hates himself, and that is what makes him stick out compared to most comics.

Very recently treated for crippling symptoms of ADHD, he is now in the process of becoming the super-comedian he always knew he had in him. All it took was doing this podcast about fifty times before he discovered that untreated ADHD was the only thing stopping him.

This podcast is not just meant for entertainment or even necessarily to be consumed. It is a journey. A document of a short man’s long life. Should someone ever write a biography about Tim Weichselbaum, be rest assured that this podcast will be the most quoted source. Unless it’s a really sh*tty biography.

Tim is an introvert. He rarely commits to friendships with anyone, and that is why he lives in a hobbit hole in near total isolation. Sure, he doesn’t scoff at the idea of interpersonal relationships, but it just isn’t a priority for him. He’s more invested in himself at the moment. When he finally reaches his full potential, then it will be time to start finding the real kind of friends and family he’s look for.

Topics covered on the show primarily revolve around becoming a professional stand-up comedian, and the trials and tribulations that go along with that process. It took Tim ten years to decide if he was really good enough to be an entertainer. He isn’t just a stand-up comedian after all, he also can sing, dance, and act. But does Tim believe in himself? Let’s find out on this show.

He also covers other interests such as mental health, self improvement, and finance/investing.

He performs stand-up comedy in real life using the stage name Timmy Gusto, as an attempt to conceal the fact that he’s slightly Jewish. I wonder if it’s possible to get canceled from iTunes just for the description.

Any who, you can follow @TimWeichselbaum on Instagram, his current social media platform of choice, to see reels and other enjoyable snippets of his creative output.

    Ep. 104 | Truth Is in the Eye of the Beholder

    If a tree falls in the woods and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? Sound is a label or abstraction for a phenomenom. An abstraction can never perfectly replicate the phenomenom it is referring to. The concept of sound is not an objective truth. It was invented by animals and only exists in their minds. Does a painting exist when you aren't looking at it? It takes observation to label something a painting, whether it is a physical object or any other idea. I would say object permanence is an illusion. Babies are right not to innately believe in it. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XbAl1hIIIJ0

    Ep. 103 | The Art of Being Full with Oneself

    You're allowed to think before you act in life. You're allowed to come to your own conclusions that are unique to you. That haven't gone through anyone else. It doesn't have to pass through anyone else. How you dress. How you talk. This brings us to physics, because Einstein's theory of General Relativity is incomplete.

    Ep. 102 | Native Languages Aren't Native

    I struggle to explain the beginnings of a Theory of Everything I'm currently developing. Turns out it's not an easy task, and it doesn't help that it's never been done before. This makes it hard to google the answers when I get stuck trying to finish defining my own concepts within the framework. Just because I thought of the premise with language being the most fundamental concept of reality means I am gifted enough to also author an entire practical framework around such a simplistic metaphor. But it's my cross to bear, and I have to remain confident that I am indeed smarter than I sound. I don't think I've ever sounded dumber on a podcast. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p61U98rmv8E
