Tomorrow night we improv.
I started a substack about my podcast "Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen" which is about social media ruining life and pimping it here on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, & Bluesky. I'm starting to think I could be part of the problem. Join me won't you?

So, is it okay to be that needy? If not, how can we toughen up live with the discomfort of work and life? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! We live in a world where we minimize discomfort. We can't stand being hungry or bored or waiting or sick or dealing with a crying baby or the electricity is out. & life's easier than any other time in human existence.

Become someone who listens? Become more expert in a subject? Teach? Dance? Climb a mountain? Invent something? Create art that matters? Enjoy a nice bottle of lemonade? See the perfect sunset? What're your top experiences you'd like to have before you throw off this mortal coil?

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! What experience do you want to have? Lots of people want things but I think experience is better than things. Do you want to travel? Master a skill? Win a fight? Have someone stare into your eyes & say they love you?

Hey kids! It's time forJay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Today: I read that you can find inner peace by wishing other people peace. You think of a friend and say "I wish him/her safety & peace." Then think of an acquaintance and do the same. Then a stranger. Then an enemy.

To others it means I'm greedy! What do you associate being heavy with? What do you think people presume about you based on your physical presentation? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday late edition. Ready? Steady... Go!

Hey kids! It's time forJay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Today: most of us judge each other, even when we don't want to, by how we look. How we present ourselves tells a story. What does your story say about you & is it true? I'm overweight.To some that means i'm lazy. To others it means I'm weak.
