Tim's 2 Cents: Recent Episodes
Tim Pawlicki
Short daily podcast about everything this Chicago-based, newly graduated yuppie finds interesting: nutrition, dating, athletic performance, meeting people, self development, travel, endurance sports, and a whole lot of randomness in between.
What drives our decisions? A 1975 Stanford study (not the prison one) opened the door to this fascinating field of psychological research
Just a few random aimless thoughts but I end up wondering about how much we have to suppress to fit in.
I ramble a bit, from audio equipment on to Gary Vee and then into the growth mindset strategy
Ended up discussing budgets and riffing on shit financial decisions people can make a bit
I couldn't hide my emotions today, just pissed off. Ended up talking about miracles and my cynicism
Talking about trading analysis and then I got long winded about divisiveness and the ability to listen, you know, as you do.
Almost wrote "diet" but I don't want anyone to think this is going to be restrictive for me- quite the opposite!
I started just talking about my rehab progress and ended up getting into politics and even Covid 😅. Risky, I know!
Also I say nothing about the 20 year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks... peace to the departed, families, the first responders still suffering, and the world 🌎🌍.
I'm a baby and I already miss my hot water... 1 day in to taking slightly less hot showers
Not "how numerology affects politics" but just about numerology and where I get my politics
Making my way through recovery, but got injured skiing in March, partially explaining this long gap
I basically did this so that it 'counts' for today on my to do list. How messed up is that??? hahaha 😅
Finally done working two jobs, so I can get back into my hobbies again. Study link for study of the day: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/0284186X.2015.1054949
Two jobs, 20 to dos, 3 workouts, 2 errands, and now I'm toast. Yes I'm humble bragging, maybe that's my jam
It's a weird day when alt-right adjacent is closer to truth than politifact on any issue
People have been talking about this bubble for years now, but I found out some sobering things about it today
I am going to ramp up my workouts, I might have an in for bass-ing up a band, and I consider looking into Master's degrees in clinical therapy
I need to eat more food! And as I think back on the episode, a part of it may have been a bit humble braggy. Apologies, it was not the intent
I've had a tough week with my vices, so I try to encourage myself by reflecting back on how I stopped my addiction to porn
It's been a while. I look forward to more consistent uploads in the future. Plus I may finally fire up the mic I got a month ago
I did a triathlon, I now have a date coming up, and I wind up giving my theory on why I think therapists ask so many leading questions.
High level discussion of why I stepped away for a week, plus some discussion on my upcoming move.
I got calls back from both parents today, and they were...interesting. Not bad, just had me on edge a little. Defensive, almost
Also how it's weird to hear your family or friends out there on the internet, making content.
This one got chopped into three segments, so the podcast flow is mimicking my (lack of) ability to stay on topic today.
It's actually a good thing - I can't save my game, which means I won't be getting sucked in to it this time.
And I was only a little bit of a baby about it. (PSA-forgot I hadn't discussed it on the podcast, remembered @~6m45s in)
Edit: Study I referenced can be found here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00421-018-3943-7
My video game habit makes another podcast appearance, and I have plans on New Year's (day).
I had a networking meeting with my Lyft driver from last week, and she struck me as a bit cultlike...
I walk through why the NBA is a foregone conclusion this year and give myself a warning sign for listening too much to a certain kind of podcast.
But no alcohol was involved...your guess is as good as mine. Maybe my water got spiked?
Round 1 of Episode 48 got deleted, so...here goes a quick follow up. Also forgot to publish yesterday's. I'm a mess
I have a very measurable musical goal for the end of the month, and I also am thinking about where I see myself living.
Finally swapped my guitar strings, still rattled/recovering from seeing extended family in dire straights. Glad to be back!
Feeling pensive and drained from week one of two weeks with the family. Also, Happy Thanksgiving!
Had some carbon monoxide issues this morning, and now my disheveled thoughts are making for quite the rambler of an episode.
I muse about whether I might be average with a little of each trait. Plus attempted improvements to my recording studio (my room).
My coworker and I geeked out about workout routines, and I spilled some beans I didn't want to.
I'm still self conscious about dropping the weights at the gym, and I lament a sucky swim
I do my usual thing of haphazardly jumping all over the place, but I'm also inviting anyone who is interested to call in and talk shop. Anything goes, whatever you want to discuss, I love listening to people's stories. Shoot a text or call to work out details: +1 312 868 6906
I was planning to neglect my civic duty that others have died for, but the universe had other plans. Plus a potty line.
I go from musing over a mild headache to figuring out how to lower personal expectations without giving up on dreaming.
Thinking about a couple of things from when I was growing up: running with my dad and sleepover videogames
I am embarrassed to feel jealous (I know...not the same as envy) of my friend for his trip. Plus other musings, including seeing things while swimming.
Well, the happiest thing I talk about (Halloween) is at the end, so at least we end on a good note.
I touch on: massage parlors, dating, motives for doing things, my mental health treatment plan, career plans, and a bs college drama that has come back to affect my present life.
I start by maligning my own lack of discipline, go off on a long religious tangent, and finish on a dark note (Shocking, I know).

I give a high level history and update on my mental health and management of my mental illness
Mixed bag today, touched on personality traits, my haircut, and how to shrink my 'blind spot'
Quick reflection on last year's senior design the night before my biggest race (so far).
I get all worked up talking nutrition (again) after musing about my night with a back muscle spasm.
I talk about my racing philosophy and why I'm lucky I only got a mild sprain yesterday.
E4: I talk about how much of an Aries I am, why podcasting is better than journaling, and an encounter with an old high school peer
I bungle the difference between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and discuss a moment of weakness for country music.
