Who's Talking - Wait, What? episodes

  • 225 IS MID?! Gym Myths, Anime, Faith & Steroids (ft. Fiit4faith) - Ep. 8

    Tim might be the strongest person I know – and he also animates Paw Patrol. In this episode, we talk about gym myths, steroid culture, faith, discipline, anime and what it really takes to stay in the game when your joints start fighting back.

    In this episode, we get into:

    • Why lifting doesn’t actually attract girls… it attracts dudes touching your arms 😂
    • The truth about steroids, teenagers hopping on gear, and what it really does to your joints and tendons
    • How faith and fitness became two sides of the same discipline coin for Tim
    • Why 225 is “okay” in the gym but wild in the real world
    • Gym anxiety, injuries and the reality that no one cares what you’re lifting
    • Being a weeb AND a gym bro – Dragon Ball Z, Goku/Vegeta, anime-inspired training
    • High school football trauma vs Gonzaga farm boys and getting absolutely cooked on the field
    • Why AI is coming for junior animators and why you shouldn’t just sit and binge Netflix

    About Tim

    Tim is a computer animator at Guru Studio (yes, Paw Patrol 🐾) and a part-time personal trainer. He’s been lifting for over 15 years and somehow balances big faith, big weights and big creativity – praying before heavy sets, coaching clients, and still nerding out over anime.

    For aspiring animators

    • Don’t just watch shows – make your own.
    • Keep building your portfolio; AI is coming for the easy, junior work.
    • Your edge is taste, style and discipline, not just software.

    For gym rookies & injured vets

    • Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.
    • Master the basic movements instead of chasing TikTok “magic exercises.”
    • Protect your joints and tendons – ego lifts don’t matter if you can’t train next year.

    Shoutout

    Huge love to Blurry Mane, the only man that can make you feel good is your barber 😂

  • You’re Not Buying a Car, You’re Buying a Community (ft. TheVaulture) - Ep. 7

    You’re not just buying a car – you’re buying your way into a community.

    In this episode of Who’s Talking? – Wait, What?, I sit down with Hameed, the host of Vulture, a Toronto-based classic car community that’s more about people, stories and vibes than flexing exhausts and badges. We talk about building events that feel like a retreat, why the best car meets are actually kinda wholesome, and how Toronto car culture became its own weird little ecosystem.

    We also get into travel, tech jobs, burnout, fake badges, LED strips, and why some people need a little chaos in their life to feel alive.

    In this episode:

    • Why “you’re not buying a car, you’re buying a community”
    • How Vulture turned classic car shows into social experiences
    • What actually makes someone a “car person” (it’s not just what’s under the hood)
    • Gas vs electric – the microwave steak vs BBQ 
    • Overrated vs underrated cars at car meets
    • The biggest red flags when someone pulls into a meet
    • Flex culture, social media, and doing things “for the badge”
    • Building niche events that attract the right people, not just loud cars
    • The best advice Hameed’s ever received, and what he’d tell anyone entering the car scene

  • The Brutal Truth About Chasing Med School - Ep. 4

    What happens when the dream of med school doesn’t pan out? In this episode, we sit down with a physiotherapist who shares his honest story of pivoting careers, grinding through the UK education system, tearing his Achilles, and discovering what healing really means.

    We dive into:

    • Why getting an 80% doesn’t always mean you’re good at something

    • What happens when your body breaks before your career takes off
