The Tim Weichselbaum Show

It's great to be back in front of the camera and terrible for the people behind it. And also for the people behind the microphone, as my voice is very annoying. In this episode, I catch everyone up on how I've been doing with ADHD medication, talk about using language models to improve my proficiency as a programmer, and a lot of long winded nonsense about personal finance and how simple it is to build wealth by buying low and selling high. I would rate this episode pretty high up in quality, but that isn't saying much. It's got a few good moments, but is ridden with unwatchable displays of some kind of undiagnosed compulsivity. I can see why I don't do this very often.

With Trump back on the campaign trail the country is more united than ever. A lot of people don't like the guy, but that's because they're told not to like him. If you have no social life, and spend 90% of your time watching YouTube, you're definitely more likely to support him.

Celebrities whose careers' peaked long ago are the least likely to intentionally support him, because voicing their distaste for him is the only way they can feel relevant again. If you're a celebrity currently at the peak of your success, you're probably not going around bashing Trump, because why would you? Success doesn't make you bitter. It's only when it dries up that you become like Barbra Streisand, Rob Reiner, Stephen King, and Luke Skywalker.

The one exception is Taylor Swift, who's currently peaking in success. The reason she voices her distaste for Trump is simply be because Kanye actively supported him. It's easier to point your ire towards some old white guy than the person who actually slighted you.

Are multicellular organisms a scam? Like capitalism, our bodies enslave billions of cells to do our bidding. These individual cells take direct orders from the dictatorial nervous system, of which the brain is in charge of. What benefits are they receiving by working 24/7 in such a society? Sure, they get to survive for a few years at most, but what happens after they retire? Do they get a pension? Our thankless brain is being serviced by these hard working machines at their complete expense. Single cell organisms have a much better quality of life.

I'm a contrarian investor with over two years of experience in the stock market. I've now been through at least one market cycle and that is enough to feel confident giving strangers financial advice. I live by the words of the late Charlie Munger, who famously said you make money sitting on your butt.  I go against the common folk who say you shouldn't try to time the market. Screw that nonsense. The market is like the ocean. You can't fight it, but you can certainly choose not to set sail during a hurricane. I'm also a gambling addict who has been day trading 0 DTE SPX options for over a month. Hear all about it in this tremendous episode.

Comedian Michael Dragon joins me to talk about day trading the S&P 500 and other topics related to investing and finance. Usually people who are passionate about these topics aren't known to be the funniest people. Well times are changing, and thanks to r/wallstreetbets there are a lot more finance bros being born every day. Look out hedge funds, retail investors are becoming the new sharks.

Going from poor to rich and then losing most of your wealth is very detrimental to a person's identity. I've been saying this for a while on this podcast, but it wasn't until I watched another guy's podcast who validated this idea. It's freeing to know that money is not the ultimate thing to chase in life.

There's a reason has-been celebrities are called "washed up" and that's because they spend so much time hanging out in bathtubs. These evil manmade pools have claimed the lives of many famous people in the past decade. We need to spread more awareness about the dangers of taking baths if you are a former star from the 90s. Who will be next to parish from the warm kiss of a bubble bath?

I've been sober from alcohol for two years and there hasn't really been much to show for it, other than not embarrassing myself in public as often. It helps that I rarely am seen in public. I've become a very private individual and can only relate to the upper elite class. This podcast doesn't count as being personal, as I don't think anyone listens. These past few weeks I've been hyper focused on music production and options trading. Two of the most boomer hobbies in existence.

Handicapped people tend to be better than average people because they were forced to adapt due to their shortcomings. The average person just smooth brains their way through life without evaluating anything. Being called a boot licker doesn't offend me because it's usually door dashers who call me this. I respect people to some degree by default, but if your job is to deliver other people's food I can't say I value your opinions anymore than the opinions of an octopus or a tarantula.

I've got a full fledged look going called the natural mullet. I need more western shirts to go with my matured style. I am a guitar player and that includes ukuleles, since those are just smaller guitars with fewer strings. I prefer the lightweight version of the guitar that you can play in bed. The older the ukulele, the harder it is to change the strings and keep it in tune. I also talk about my s*x traffi**ing agency in this episode.
