Rick Rosner: Again, since Trump has been elected. The amount of working out I have been doing has been increasing crazily from maybe 60 sets per day to 100 little sets a day. I’ll go to one gym and do 24 sets. I’ll go to another and do 70 sets until I’ve worked through 5 gyms, even though I have no aerobic or I am aerobically messed up. I can still sit on weight machines and do a bunch of sets there.
I come home and do more tweeting based on a Hollywood show called Hashtag Wars. They give you a topic and then you tweet jokes to fit the topic. The whole idea is a dumb thing to do. Everything I do is doing comedy pushups. That is, writing jokes for the writing of jokes sake. Nobody is paying me to do it. This will drive eyes to my social media stuff.
Right now, I have been averaging 60,000 to 70,000 views of my tweets per day, which I think is pretty good. But I don’t know if that will convince a publisher that I have a built-in public. That is my day. It is somewhat ridiculous. I hope to someday get paid for words again.
