Carmen Ciricillo Show

Don't Go For The Gold

Carmen complains from a level of luxury. When the power goes out in his condominium in Cleveland he gets cranky then realizes he has to de-crank himself. He is spoiled and the power outage proves it. Carmen talks about soft carpet, air conditioning, fresh food and what would happen if it all went away. Somehow Carmen finds his way to start talking about under achieving as a good thing. Not going the gold, not reaching the stars. His recent experience on a Stairmaster at the gym made him think about moving and getting nowhere as the thing to strive for.

You Will Veer Toward Your Rightful Path

In this pod Carmen talks about his love for toys and how he eventually ends up in the toy section when going into the store. Also the fear of hiring Carmen has crept into a current booking which is now a cancelled booking. Carmen also talks about stuff, too much physical stuff and too much mental stuff. Thanks for listening.

The Algorithm is Feeding You What You Asked For

Wow we got a pod off in record time since the last pod. Don't expect me to keep this up and I'm sure you won't. Today we discuss the Algorithm. I don't even know what it is so it's kinda like me talking about Bitcoin. All I know is that if you watch videos of alligators eating dogs that's what you will continually see so be careful what you watch. There are other topics in this mix so please enjoy.

Fussy with a P

The day after the attempted assassination on former president Donald Trump is somber for many reasons. The family man that lost his life and the injuries to Mr. Trump and others make this day very difficult. My job has always been to make others happy even in very difficult times. My natural tendency is to lighten up the mood when things go bad. So we keep on. I made the podcast. Now take a listen to how my comedy show went last night, why I like to sit in my garage and how I feel about the decrease in manhood that's happening right now.

Can We Now Punch Down?

Carmen gets a stabbing idea at 1:30 in the morning to make a pod and this is it. Typically the pod is not made this late at night but why are there rules? In this pod Carmen talks again about his Elon obsession, corporate group think, his HOA, being judged correctly and more. The title of the pod eludes to the common thinking spewed by comedians that you can only punch down. Who made these rules for a a business that is supposed to be independent and artistic. What if the down are up? Are we allowed to punch them then? Well that's what's happening.

So Jealous So Envious

My mind adopts whatever I'm watching, reading, seeing as I got to have it. I got to have the fame of Sebastian or the skill of an auto mechanic or the success of an HVAC man. It really doesn't matter. My wife saw a cool Lexus today and I was like I have to get that so she can say I have a cool car. Listen to this pod and you'll understand what I'm talking about. I did it last night so I've already forgotten some of the content. But it is also about the Presidential Debate, Elon Musk and how corporations are not for me.

Act on Your Inklings

Yes it's been awhile but I'm still here. This pod is about just that. Living in the present moment and not regretting. While Elon Musk is alive pay attention. I missed out on AC/DC and Michael Jordan cause I wasn't paying attention. But I will watch the rockets launch and the brains getting implanted with chips.

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.
