    Episode 14 - Help Is Here! Rebranding The Podcast

    Welcome to the new What's Up With Me! What's up with you? How you  doing?? Before going further, I messed up. It's not the "Shots in the arms,  money in the pockets." or the "Hope is here" campaign. It's the "Help Is  Here" tour. If you've been following the podcast, you're used to me stream of  conscious rambling about Curbside Comedy and other stand-up comedy pursuits. To be honest, my life isn't that interesting to talk about me for 20 minutes every other week, so I figured it was time for a change.  I'm a comedian and content creator. Let's make content and be funny.  We're starting off the episode with a new segment called "News I Saw." Sometimes the news we read is important. Sometimes it's not. Thanks to  social media, we're all getting different versions of the news, so I'll  share the news I saw including:  - NFL Free Agency   - Joe Biden & COVID-19 Relief  - March Madness  - The Grammys  - Harry Styles  - Adam Driver & Lady Gaga in sweaters  - Goldman Sachs 95 Hour Work Weeks I said not all of the news is important. After the news I saw, we're diving into some content creation. This week I'm working on voice-overs and audio mixing. I hope you like the brief, motivational ad I made. We wrap up the show with Trevor Glassman and I sitting down earlier talking about his ability to network and roast. Trevor and I have been through a lot together. Literally an entire pandemics worth of stand-up comedy. We started Curbside Comedy together and he's a great sounding board to help me grow as a comedian.  Check Trevor out on Instagram @thetrevorglassman Tune into his radio show "HAYWIRE! with Trevor Glassman" B Posi+ive  Radio. You can call in  Monday at 12pm ET/11am CT at (904) 413-1828

    Episode 13 - Survivor Application

    With the beginning of March comes the end of the #CastConnorOnSurvivorCampaign. This month, I've watched 12 seasons of Survivor, spent countless hours doing math problems that're probably irrelevant and making some sketches that took longer to set up production than film.  All that hard work didn't go to waste—I made my fourth application which I make on this here episode. We'll see where it all goes from there. While I enjoyed having a funnel to channel my creative energy, I'm glad to not be spending countless hours staring at a screen wondering, "How can I shoot all that with only one person?" Two more sketches were made at over the last two weeks. For those of you who are only listening to audio, head over to the YouTube channel to watch.  Where do we go from here? Clearly, a more sustainable pursuit. I'm going to be working on the YouTube channel trying to learn more about how that platform works and in the process find a way to get myself establishing some good lifestyle habits.  To send me a question, connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.

    Episode 12 - Empirical Evidence and Cold Hard Statistics For Survivor

    What's up with me? Just trying to get cast on Survivor. How about you? This month I've been stockpiling evidence for why I should be cast on Survivor in my #CastConnorOnSurvivor campaign. It's time to lay out what I have so far. If you see this Jeff—nice. Empirical Evidence In 13 days, I've watched 7 seasons of Survivor. I'm a student of the game. An abundance of support has come my way on social media. I sincerely appreciate the people who've reached out, including those who thought I've already made it onto the show. I made a sketch because why not? Cold Hard Statistics: At the beginning of February, I put out an Instagram poll that asked, "Would I do well on Survivor?" Here is the data I received in return.  Yes: 28 No: 8 "P" denotes the probability of a certain event occurring or a certain parameter being true for a certain population P prime, sometimes referred to as “P-hat” and henceforth to as p’, is a reliable representation of p only if the sample is large enough and is truly random. The formula for p’ is X/n. X = the number of successes  n = the size of the sample Our Variables: n= 36  X=28 therefore, p’= 28/36 = 0.7777777778 What do we do next? What we’re trying to calculate is a 95% confidence level, henceforth CL, in our sample. To do this we must calculate the Error Bound Proportion, or EBP. EBP = (z (alpha/2) * (squareroot ((p’q’)/1n)  where q’ = 1 - p’ q’ = 1 - 0.7777777778, so q’ = 0.2222222222 Since CL = 0.95, then α = 1 – CL = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05 Therefore, (a / 2) = 0.025. But we still need to do that z thing. Use the TI-83, 83+, or 84+ calculator command invNorm(0.975,0,1) to find z0.025 To save you the trouble (z ( alpha / 2 ) = 1.96. Now that we have our whole formula, we can calculate EBP = 1.96 * (squareroot ( ( 0.7777777778 * 0.2222222222 ) / 36) = 0.1358083051 Therefore, Connor Kwiecien’s Instagram @Connor_Kwiecien estimate with 95% confidence that between 90.58% & 63.42% think that I would do well on Survivor. I'm 100% confident it is at the upper limit.  Do you see an error in my math? Let me know! Check out my YouTube channel to view my application videos coming out this week and let me know if you think I've got what it takes to win the title of sole survivor.

    Episode 11 - Cast Connor On Survivor

    For the last three years, I've submitted an application to be on Survivor. It's a Christmas present for my mom. Last year, I asked Jeff Probst and the Survivor team to either cast me or write my mom a letter explaining why I didn't get on the show. I never got the letter, and I haven't been on reality TV. Needless to say, my mom and I are disappointed.  This month, I'm launching a campaign I'm calling Cast Connor On Survivor (#CastConnorOnSurvivor #DoingThisForHisMom.) I'm putting the chips on the table and seeing if I can finally get my mom the gift she truly deserves.  The campaign is built around two sources: cold, hard statistics and empirical evidence. I took to Instagram last week (@Connor_Kwiecien) and learned 78% of people, also known as friends who probably wouldn't be mean enough to say they didn't think I could do it, think I'd do well on Survivor. Good enough for me. Let's run the numbers for those cold, hard stats. Check out my YouTube channel to view my application videos coming out this week and let me know if you think I've got what it takes to win the title of sole survivor.  To send me a question, connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.

    Episode 10 - Hot Dog Eating Champion

    Do you think I've still got what it takes to defend my a hotdog eating contest title? Do you think I'm lying about winning a hotdog eating contest? Are you thinking of inappropriate jokes about me eating so many hotdogs? You're not the only one.  This past week, with Curbside Comedy shows still coming together, I was hitting up some open mics and someone in the audience graciously bought me a hot dog to see how fast I could eat it because of my favorite jokes.  They got the laughs they wanted, so I'm happy with it. I'm looking for more questions for the next episode. To send me a question, connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.

    Episode 9 - How To Start In Stand Up Comedy

    Welcome to 2021! I hope you have at least one New Year's resolution still in tact.  Inspired by a friend who reached out saying they started working on their comedy skills (in part) because they listened to my podcast "Small Town Radio," I wanted to give some advice. I want to share how you can get started in stand-up comedy.  Getting started in stand-up comedy is extremely easy. I break it down into one "must-do."  Getting good at stand-up comedy is a bit more consuming.  Thank you to the very funny Daniel Toppani for asking a question in which I have no answer to. Starting this month, if you ask me a question for "What's Up With Me?" you'll be entered into a raffle for one free piece of content that I'll make for you free of charge. Obviously, the content made has to be within reason. I will edit your podcast for free, but I will not shoot your TV pilot (unless it's the second coming of Always Sunny in Philadelphia.)  To send me a question, you can connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.

    Episode 8 - Five Takeaways From 2020

    The final episode of the year. I'll be back on the first Monday of 2021.  With it being the final episode of 2020, rather than take questions I figured it's a nice time to reflect. This year, I've lived in four states, was uprooted from the place I thought I'd call home for the next half decade, moved back in with my parents at 24 years old, lived with a dog, returned to living in Florida (a state which I lived in before and never thought I'd be back to do it again) and raised over $5000 for charity during a global pandemic. So, some stuff kinda happened.  After sharing some tweets that I have (I am now on and active on Twitter) and a new content series I'm working on called Animals and Sounds, I go over five takeaways from this year. Here they are if you need a list: 5. I'm better not alone 4. Phone addiction is a thing 3. Hustle is a currency 2. Passion is a language 1. I have a great family Enjoy the holidays. For those who have followed this podcast, thank you. As I find my rhythm, you'll be able to look back and say, "Man, this things gotten much better.  To send me a question, you can connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.

    Episode 7 - Moving To Tampa

    I've moved to Tampa, FL for the winter and maybe beyond. Since I said it so late in the episode, I'll put it early on here: if you live in the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area, or know anyone who does, book a Curbside Comedy show. You can book a show by heading here: https://www.curbsidecomedy.org/ Going through this move, and another life transition, I realized that I'm a lot calmer than at the beginning of COVID-19. I think that's in large part due to working on my mental health and understanding my priorities in life. I love stand-up comedy. And, more so I love bringing people joy. That's what I try to do with stand-up. I'll be the first one to make fun of myself for simplifying stand-up comedy to such a cheesy, lackluster, 12-year-old-trying-to-please-his-parents answer, but that joy is a large part of my motivation. Seeing that Curbside Comedy could grow into something that allows me to do exactly what I love has allowed other priorities to fall into place behind it which allows me to deal with my anxiety towards the unknown.  As for getting COVID-19, I've made a full recovery. Thank you for asking :) To send me a question, you can connect with me on Instagram, @connor_kwiecien, via email, comedy@connorkwiecien.com, or head to my website connorkwiecien.com.
