Carmen Ciricillo Show

The Artist

This is the walking pod. I'm doing the pod whenever I can and wherever and this time it's in back of a thrift store. I don't remember exactly what I was talking about here - I think I was in love with the weather and the landscape and the freedom of being an artist.

Do You Want to do the Hard Work?

Carmen did this pod while waiting in a minivan for his mom. How much life will you exchange for what you want? Carmen talks about his costs of doing the business of comedy and podcasting but not in financial terms but in how much of his life he spend on it. He is also simultaneously waiting for his mother to come out of her apartment to go to lunch.

Soft with a Purpose

Being soft is not bad. Being humble and grateful can be misconstrued as weakness. Carmen talks about his past and his experience on how he had to fake being tough to survive. He also acknowledges that he has had a hard time going with the flow. Carmen believes that those who make the flow go other directions are heroes. Being content is hard but it is important. Carmen wants to keep moving forward with some flows, being content with others but always growing and doing more. And remember this is from a comedian.

Bells and Whistles

Carmen's in the minivan in the garage making a clausterphobicky pod. Just back from Florida and his 3 weeks of gigging and traveling Carmen talks about boredom. Carmen says that you can trick your brain into believing that you got it better. The Bells and Whistles of life are just there to kill the boredom but you can kill the boredom with your own brain!! Scary.

Think Twice and Be Carefree

Carmen is driving and recording the pod during the latest Florida Hurricane threat. As he drives he talks about being carefree, thinking twice and remembering to look at a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Everything is closing because of the hurricane and Carmen needs to get doughnuts and flowers for his wife's birthday tomorrow. 

The Third Hand of Motivation

Carmen is in an AirBnb he doesn't trust. Maybe he's secretly being watched. He's not sure. He also doesn't like the weird smell at 3 am every night so he has to spray cologne on his upper lip before he goes to bed. This weekend he will be appearing at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton and next week at Snappers in Ft. Myers. Come out and see hime for yourself.

Am I Soft?

Carmen talks about going to the Feast of the Assumption in Cleveland and his weekend. Also why he is not tough but people still call him boss. He also has no studio to record his pod so he abruptly ends the pod and does not explain that people just. came into the condo. 

On The Hunt

This past weekend I had to go on the hunt with my cousin who's trying to find a new woman. Hunting is much harder than it is when you're young. You got to deal with public toilets, tall people, bar food, hard stools and so much more. Glad I hunted wisely 36 years ago. 

Act As If Nothing Is Wrong

Do you have any problems? Keep it to yourself if you want to succeed. I think that is true. Act as if you're ok because we are judging you as an individual. This pod completely created on the fly and it shows. Sound quality decreased on this one because of the AC unit kicking on and off and because I'm still looking for a quiet place to produce the pod. Don't give up on me please.

The Goodwill Godfather

Carmen discusses his recent experiences at Goodwill where the Goodwill Godfather uses the Goodwill receipts as currency. Carmen also talks about wanting to me in the mob for the wrong reasons. This pod recorded in a walk in closet.
