What a show we have for you this week!
As I go forth on this epic journey of podcast superstardom, I’m constantly learning, and adjusting; and readjusting, and relearning; Still haven’t learned the difference between commas and semi-colons; so I just pepper in both whenever it seems right.
One thing I’m trying to figure out is how to differentiate the podcast from the newsletter while making them cohesive and kinda like a cool package deal.
Here’s what I’m trying this week. Instead of a summary of what’s on the pod, I’m gonna treat the newsletter as fun additional reading for my die-hard fans (Mom & Dad).
Here goes...
In the pod I mention a place that I consider to be close to heaven on earth. It’s called Tastee’s Donut & Burger in Pasadena and its AMAZING. Perfect cheeseburger for around 3 bucks. Honestly- I’m used to every burger joint around here being fancy and hype-y in some way or another. Not Tastee’s. It’s no frills and all thrills. The onion rings were as crispy as your shnozz when you neglect sunscreen on a family cruise to St. Thomas, and the donut was soft, billowy, airy perfection.
Next up, I thought it’d be cool to make a short list of things I discovered and/or really enjoyed this week. Not gonna lie- I got this idea from Tim Ferris— he’s been doing it for years but it’s a simple format and he’s a zillionaire so why not.
THINGS I LIKED THIS WEEK
Clinton Avery Tharp - Thrift Shop TikTok - this guy is great. He goes thrift shopping and finds cool stuff, sometimes does some refurbishing, stages good photos and sells said stuff at a profit. Plus he’s really funny while doing it. Gonna have him on the podcast soon!
Roof Studio - An animation studio in NYC/Brazil. They’re mainly working in the advertising space, but keep an eye out- they’ll be making some wildly popular feature length animated films. I have no doubt. Some of the most stunning animation I’ve ever seen.
Your Neighbor’s Backyard - is a series of backyard comedy variety shows started by my friends out here in LA. They’ve grown so much over the years and TONIGHT (Friday, April 30th) they’re hosting a live variety show with some amazing performers. Be sure to tune in and donate so that they can keep doing what they’re doing and raising money for super awesome causes.
That’s all for this week! I dig this format do you? Leave a comment & subscribe!
Until next week,
Jason

Next Episode
Nobody Cares About @creative_b.s
Hey folks!
In episode 6 of the pod I speak with my buddy, Brian Spencer (@creative_b.s). Brian’s a musician and a digital marketing guru and I get some insight on how to organically grow an audience. It’s an interesting convo for anybody putting themselves out there online!
Here’s a few links to some of my favorite things from this week:
1. There's a new animated film on Netflix called The Mitchells vs The Machines which is a hilarious ride for the whole family. Highly recommend.
2. Weezer dropped a new album today called Van Weezer and I'm super excited about it - life long fan of the Weez.
3. Just recently re-watched Big Fat Liar with Frankie Munoz, Amanda Bynes and Paul Giamatti and it may as well be a Scott Rudin documentary. For those who rightfully don't give a s**t about the entertainment industry- Scott Rudin was a big time producer and also apparently a giant a*****e. However- Big Fat Liar is SO good. Killer cast. Sandra Oh was in it! And it’s just perfection.
Remember to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you like to listen and ALSO rate and review if you have a few spare seconds and wanna do something good that gets you into heaven.
