I mean that's what That's why 136 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: I told my family. 137 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: I started. You know, in my first few years of comedy, 138 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: the older comics would tell me, like, you know, YouTube 139 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: was around, but they would like, don't ever put any 140 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: material online, Like you're saving all your jokes for an album, 141 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: like an audio album. Like I literally like this is 142 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: like dinosaur stuff. Now you know, like this doesn't even 143 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: this has no sense to a new comic or a 144 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: comic We started like in your era where like a 145 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 2: few years ago, like, but the advice back in the 146 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: day was like, don't ever release anything until it's like 147 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: your album. And so I was kind of on this 148 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 2: weird like like border of like kind of one foot 149 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: in the old world and one foot in the new 150 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: because I was a few years in when like people 151 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: started getting Instagram, and like I had an Instagram for 152 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: a bit and then I deleted it and I finally 153 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: got one for like comedy back just in twenty nineteen, 154 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: you know, so not even that like long ago really, 155 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: and it's completely changed since I started. Of like actually, 156 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: now the philosophy is put everything you almost ever do 157 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: immediately online, like you're the special. Like the thing I 158 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: just did is kind of like it's very accessible to 159 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: everyone because everybody now has a camera and you can 160 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: just film a set and that's the special. And it's 161 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: almost like you almost do the special because then you 162 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: can clip it up and put it on social media. 163 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: So it's like it's very weird because the long the 164 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: whole point of the specialists to kind of show people 165 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: like this is like a body of work I can 166 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 2: do this time, I can I can be a headliner 167 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: or whatever. And now it's like, you know, mine was 168 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: thirty two minutes, because it's like why would I put 169 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: an hour out? Like who's gonna watch my hour? You know? 170 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: So you've got to like kind of decide like what 171 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: the masses are even ready for from you as an 172 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: artist or you as a comedian, Like, well, who who 173 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: are you? Jake Silman is a nobody? So it's like 174 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: why would we watch an hour? But you give them 175 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: half an hour? Maybe, Like okay, like I I'll take 176 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: a chance on this. I'll watch ten minutes of this 177 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: random guy. So there's all these other things now that 178 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: that that happens since I started, and social media is 179 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: this huge thing and like you know, it's it's like 180 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: a lot of things. It's good and bad. You know, 181 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 2: Like do I like the I don't like the total 182 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: basically monopoly it has on comedy Now I find it. 183 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's changed comedians and it's 184 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: changed comedy in a way that's like not really the 185 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: greatest for the art form. I don't think it's great 186 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: that everything just needs to be online for it to 187 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: be valid as comedy now, you know, like it's just 188 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: like we don't so many people are doing shows and 189 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: you can tell that they're doing it for the camera 190 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: and not. 191 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: The audience, you know, clips, like they just want to 192 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: play to the clip. 193 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like that. I don't think it's 194 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 2: good for comedians development. And I don't think it really 195 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: like comedy people like who start comedy or like not 196 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: even start, but like I guess, yeah, comedians, let's say 197 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: they have a memory of like seeing their first comedy show. 198 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: I mean, like kind of intoxic it online social media 199 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: does not capture that. It just can't. It cannot capture 200 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: the feeling of being in the room when you're just 201 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: watching a clip on your phone. So I think it's 202 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: like giving the audience who come to comedy now a 203 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: whole different vibe because when you're in a room where 204 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: comedy is being performed, like there's a feeling to it. 205 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: There's like a visceralness to it. You know, you're part 206 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: of a group. It's not an isolated experience that you're 207 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: watching alone in your bedroom, you know. So it's completely 208 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: like divorced what the art form is, which is for 209 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: a live audience to this like new like thing, but 210 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: it has given people careers. Some of them are funny, 211 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: some of them are not. And that's unfortunate that some 212 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: of the people who aren't that funny or who are 213 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,359 Speaker 2: kind of hacky or just kind of like just blasting 214 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: the algorithm over and over again or getting fans. But like, 215 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it's a it's a it's a 216 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: weird tug war because every comedian has had this conversation 217 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: thousands of times, like do you post more? Should you 218 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: just post less? What should you post? When should you post? 219 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: And I think it's made comedy hangs bad because a 220 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: lot of hangs used to be like just goofing around 221 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: and throwing bits around and just busting balls. And now 222 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: it's like, god, I mean the amount of times I'm 223 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: at like a hang and it's like talks about posting. 224 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: I'm just like, what the fuck are we talking about 225 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: right now? We're talking about posting, dude, Like this sucks. 226 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: We're supposed to be making each other laugh, like that's 227 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: that's the deal. 228 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: Like that, I mean, I was I was with some 229 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: comics the other day and like I was kind of 230 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: just I just kind of let it be because they're 231 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: my friends. But like so I didn't say anything, but 232 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: you know, one of them was like, dude, I'm gonna 233 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: get I'm getting really into posting again. And I just 234 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: wanted to be like, dude, that's the lamest sentence I've 235 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: ever heard of Comics say. It's like I'm getting really 236 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: into posting again, but you just have to kind of 237 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 2: be like, I get it. You know, like all three 238 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: of those comics we're ahead of me in a career 239 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: wise because they have bigger social media followings. And that 240 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: is also weird because it creates this weird dynamic of 241 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: like authenticity based on this like number, you know, which 242 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: is odd. You're just like the respect or what you 243 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 2: should be judging people on in comedy is like who's 244 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: the funniest, or who's who's getting better, or who's working 245 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: the hardest, or what who's writing the best jokes? Not 246 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: this number attached to this profile online and like what 247 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: that means you deserve or what that means you get? 248 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: But it is the world we live in, so it's 249 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: like kind of like you, I think every comic has 250 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: this like battle with how far do I want to 251 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: go into it. You know, some comics are like you 252 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: find some comics who have no social media following, you know, 253 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: like they don't do anything, and they're really funny. And 254 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: then you have some who have one hundred, two hundred, 255 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand and they're fine or whatever, like maybe 256 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: they're good, maybe they're not, but like they've decided like Nope, 257 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. This is what I'm going 258 00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: to make. 259 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: My friend Jake Silverman, you can find him everywhere. He's 260 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: been spending most of the summer in Minneapolis actually, so 261 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: if you live in the Minnesota area, you know the staff. 262 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: If you live in the area of the state of Minnesota, 263 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: go check him out.
