Episode 13 - I Love The 90's with Jacob Givens

My guest is Jacob Givens. He is a comedian, actor, writer, and more who currently lives in Los Angeles, CA. He started making videos during the pandemic to show his appreciation for the music from his formative years. After posting videos about Nirvana and Radiohead on Tik Tok, he quickly became a viral sensation. He was featured in Spin Magazine, and even attracted the attention of the very musicians he was celebrating. A few years later, the all powerful algorithm brings his videos to my feed and I'm instantly hooked. After delving into his podcast Waterproof Records, I learned that he and I both came from Tulsa, OK and are about the same age. I reached out to him on Instagram, and he graciously agreed to appear on the show. We talk about his journey from OK to IL to CA, his experience trying to get into Hollywood, how he became a viral sensation, the music that changed his life, and trying to get your kids to like the music you do. My thank you note to him is for showing the world how great 90's alternative rock is. His videos encourage everyone that sees them to embrace what you love and not to dwell on the things that you don't. Jacob closes the show with a touching letter to his brother, who sparked his love of music way back when in Tulsa. Check out Jacob on Instagram @jacobgivens and TikTok @thejacobgivens His Spotify account is awesome too. He makes killer playlists. The 90's alternative one is unmatched in quality and quantity. Email the show: [e-mail] Send a Text or leave a Voicemail 469-609-7136 Instagram @thankyounotespod Facebook.com/thankyounotespod TikTok @thankyounotespod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thankyounotespod/message Learn more about your ad choices.
