Independently Waelti

Chris invites his good friend, Simon Balto PhD all the way from Wisconsin to discuss Larry Fest- the greatest music festival of all time and to talk Chris out of believing he's a dumb guy.

On this episode of the pod we welcome the #1 Waeltaholic and Steve's cousin, Mike James. Mike flips the script on Waelti asks him some hard hitting questions.

Waelti still messed up from the night before has his friend, writer, and comedian Lauren Vino on. They reminisce about a terrible show they were both on where comedians fight each other before doing a set, they get to the root of Waelti’s issues - his parents’ post-divorce choice in abusive partners and for once Wealti tries to give relationship advice only to realize it’s advice he himself should take.

On a special Thursday night recording, Eli Sairs aka The Roast Ghost talks with Waelti about which character from teen dramas in the early 2000s they would be, how it’s more fun to hate something than to like it and how proposing to your girlfriend when your relationship is on the rocks is a good idea. Waelti also contemplates the things he should be more open to.

On this episode, we attempt to expand our inclusivity by having on Aunt Ginny’s regular and Ridgewood Queen, Jason Moorer! In an attempt to ask all the questions he’s ever wanted to ask a gay person, Waelti tries to determine what percentage of gay he thinks he is. Also in a surprise to absolutely no one, Waelti condemns having his ex-girlfriend in his life after a messy night out.

On this very special episode we have the #1 waeltaholic in the studio, Steve’s dad! With both Waelti and Big Steve being blue collar workers and bar flies, they reminisce about the show “Heehaw”, talk about how movers are the invisible work force of NYC, Chris’ broken dreams of being a reality TV mover and what makes a wet dream different from a wet nightmare.

On this week's episode, Waelti invites Comedian George Gordon on to discuss how taking his fate out of his own hands is the only way to change his life. Waelti get's a morale boost when George tells him his highs outweigh his lows, how twenty coors lights aren't an impedance to driving a car and he comes to the realization that he probably will never stop drinking, but at least losing his juul is incentive enough to stop smoking.

Waelti invites fellow comedian Casey James Salengo on the pod to discuss how Chris embodies the fictional character Eeyore, his anorexia and the efficiency of diarrhea as a bowel movement along with his self doubt about being a fraud as a comedian.

As Waelti stares down he barrel of a “dinner date” with his ex, Comedian, friend and self proclaimed mess Justy Dodge gives him a straight talk about how how rejection can often lead to obsession and how there’s always a lopsided power dynamic in any relationship.

Coming off an all-time low from last week's hangover, Waelti sits down with Waeltdown studios' inhabitant and Pintrill co-founder Andrew Yung to get some advice from a non-comedian. They discuss ways to improve Waelti's personal finances such as buying the less appealing flavors of juul pods, drinking at home rather than Aunt Ginny's, using friends as piggy banks and accepting over-drafting his bank account because he may not live to see tomorrow. Waelti now taking "charitable donations" on venmo!
