Show notes - Episode 501: You Have to Be Okay with That

Morning, friends!

Back to just me this week and I had a thought during the show: Would you like my episodes to be shorter and have more of a focus? Or are you enjoying the 3-4 topics per show plus the sweet tune? Let me know and we'll make some changes (maybe)! Let's do this!





Music from Oliver Keane (4:45), ignoring strangers (10:35), showing up unannounced (22:47), and big wigs working the sales floor (32:58).

Thanks to our friend at Public City PR for the tune! Read more about ROMEO below and follow Oliver on Instagram and TikTok!

I've realized what matters is putting my heart and soul into the art and letting the beauty of subjectivity decide who enjoys it and appreciates it. It makes me so proud to release my new single ROMEO, an imperfect song about an imperfect relationship, for all of your imperfect brains to enjoy and listen to. here is beauty in imperfection.

Conversations in transit

I will never understand why extroverts expect everyone else to cater to their needs. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone when I have to go somewhere. And you, adult person who should be able to entertain himself, need to be a big boy and accept that. No one owes anyone else - especially a stranger - their time and energy on a plane or a bus. Leave people be if they clearly don't want to be bothered, and don't get mad about it. Learn to be with yourself for a few hours.

Showing up unannounced

Thanks to Jimmy from Mayfair for the question! No, I don't think the relationship changes my answer to "how do you feel about people showing up at your house unannounced" because I need to prepare to receive guests. If you have the capacity to handle random encounters, that is wonderful for you. I certainly do not so I'm gonna need some notice before we hang out at my house.

Home Depot corporate workers

Having the fatcats come down and work in the stores sounds like a good idea. And it very well could be a good practice. But, speaking as a former retail grunt who dealt with corporate peeps on the sales floor: it could also be a complete mess. If the people take it seriously, they'll understand how the store actually runs and make changes accordingly. If not, everyone is in for a rough time once a quarter next year.

👷

And that, as we say, is that! Full disclosure: I started making this post on October 1 and I completely forgot that I put the blurb about Oliver's song up there. That's why I did not mention it on the show - my bad! Anyways, thanks for coming along this week. Have a wonderful time doing whatever it is that you do and come on back for more me next week - I'll be talking about some Halloween TV shows! Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!
