THE REVOLUTION IS HAPPENING. What a wild ride.
In this episode we chat about the concept of the podcast itself, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, what is next and also...
Pirating TV shows, Trump Tarrifs and are you a peasant or a pirate?
• Performing to only 2 people in a 120-seat venue creates a bizarrely intimate yet challenging comedy experience
• Working a 9-to-5 job while pursuing comedy creates significant time management challenges
• Streaming platforms now treat basic subscribers as "peasants" by forcing them to watch ads unless they pay more
• It's often easier to pirate content than to watch it legally through paid subscription services
• The so-called "Chinese retaliation" through factory workers on TikTok is actually just individuals trying to sell directly to consumers
• Comedy and live performances remain valuable because they can't be pirated - you need the in-person experience
• The future of this podcast may include developing revolution-themed elements like symbols and salutes for comedic purposes
Send me Fan Mail! It could be anything, we are desperate at this point.
