Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.
Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
Molly with the Good Laugh
On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Molly, who’s a podcaster, my good pal, and one of the most insightful movie watchers I know. Here’s some of what we talk about:
- First question: On a scale of 1-10, how cringe do you find me?
- why we need more people to get into mosh pits to work out their issues
- watching and re-watching bad movies is a compulsion we share
- microdosing birthday parties (or holding quarterly birthday parties with small groups of frineds)
- engaging with and understanding art that is not for you (e.g. a 30 year old woman understanding what’s great about the movie Major League)
- the movie she least liked watching on her show and why (depending on your sensibility, this choice will either be brutally obvious or totally shocking)
- why intelligence and seriousness are not the same thing, but why they’re often confused for each other
- how surreal it is to regularly watch yourself on video and why doing video makes you sweaty as shit
- one of my favorite philosophical constructs: THE JOHARI WINDOW!
- how apparently I say the word “poor” weird
- television recommendations
- what would you like to see more of, or less of, from men in this country?
- we laugh A LOT
