so stop guessing, start growing, go out there, be clean,
(00:21):
get some green. Hey everybody, it's JD. I'm back and
it's it's not This is the transitional Clean County podcast too.
I'm not sure actually what the new podcast is going
to be part of me. So I have these ideas
and i'd like to hear your feedback. So if you're
going to if you're listening to this, I'd love some
feedback on which way you want me to go. So
(00:42):
I have a couple options. I'm thinking this is the
one that I'm thinking about. So some of you were
members of the Funny Money newsletter, and I honestly loved
that concept. I also have another website called Comedypreneur dot
com where there's just blog posts up there that I
write about comedy and business of comedy and help people
with whatever. But I was thinking of doing something using
(01:06):
the word funny money. The reason why is I like
to help comedians get paid. It's one of my favorite
things in the world. When I hear somebody gets paid
for a show, for a gig, for writing, for whatever,
and I was any part involved, that is great. But
when they do it anyways, when I hear about that
producing shows, whatever it may be, it makes me very
(01:27):
happy because I see that they're getting what they deserve, right,
Comedians deserve money, and I think that this is one
of those things where I want to help that. So
one of my ideas is Funny Money, the Funny Money Podcast,
and it's a it goes kind of over everything. We
all do interviews with comedians as what they do on
the road, obviously, comedy tips like that, off stage income
(01:48):
behind stuff like breakdowns with comedians, comedy tools, stories, stuff
like that, you know, those kind of things, and little
and then I can make a little clip and stuff
for people, you know, you know how somebody made one
thousand dollars from you know, their first producing gig or whatever.
And I really think that there's a stigma that comedians
(02:10):
do where they don't talk about money, and it does
a disservice to everybody because we should all be talking
about it. So I really wanted to go dive into that.
I think that's something I really want to do. So
is that there was also like another podcast idea that
I had was basically, you know, is this something or
(02:32):
some kind of comedy podcasts like that or just just
my name as the podcast, you know, like the Judie
Crewston podcast or something like that, or comedy theory podcasts.
So I think there's a couple that I have there.
I would like to see what you guys think. I
really really really like to see what you think, because
I think there is I think there is something here
(02:56):
that we that were that I'm missing. Greek comedy podcast
is great, but it's it's too narrow, right, It's too small.
It doesn't give enough opens and opportunities to people. I
love business. I'm an mba. I love business. I love
creating stuff. I love making money. I love helping people
make money. I love telling people how to make money
and talking to people who are making money different ways
(03:17):
of me. And I think this is the way forward
for comedians, whether that be some kind of app some
kind of I seem like people do like three D
comedy shows, you know, in the metaverse or whatever and stuff.
I think there's a future of comedy that's not just
on a stage that is sketches and skits. And my
friend Krista Morelli and I worked before, and now she
(03:40):
has a She has a really cool company called Laugh
Laugh My Ads Off where she makes comedy ads for
people and helps people learn to make comedy ads for
their business. There's a couple of companies that help people
create memes for their for their business. These are things
that I really love to see and learn about. There's
the you know, Scott Dicker and those people making the
(04:01):
Onion and creating satire where you never would see there before.
Comedy filmmakers or sketch writers or whatever it is. There's
so many things out there, even comedy art. People make
art out of comedy. There's great photographers that go to
the comedy store and do stuff that I'd love to
hear what made them do that? That is a branch
(04:21):
of comedy that they're doing. They're documenting that history through photography,
through another medium, and it's just very interesting to see that.
So I kind of like that's kind of where my
head is at, is going to funding money. I'd love
to talk to I'd love to hear from you guys,
So shoot me an email. James D. Krevisten gmail dot com,
shoot me an email. Let me know what you want
(04:43):
the podcast to because I don't know. I'm stuck in
this limbo right now. I know it needs a change,
that's the only thing I know. And by four point
fifty it'll be changed. So whatever it is. I have
a few episodes, five episodes. I have a couple interviews
I have sometimes that I'm going to do with with
Seth so we can wrap it up. But I really
really really want to wind down and get into this
(05:03):
next phase of podcasts, and I think there's something that
I need to figure out, and I don't know. Really,
I really love the idea of funny money. To me,
it is the most close to my heart type thing.
It's the thing that I think about the most constantly.
I mean, this week alone, I helped create a card
(05:25):
game for somebody, wrote card game stuff. I finished editing
a script that's going out with a film that I'm
having get released. So I wrote like a co wrote
a drama thriller movie that's getting released. Supposely it's in
talks with Netflix. I don't know if that's I don't
know the whole details. I'm kind of still out of
the loop on it. I only know what I hear secondhand.
(05:49):
But you know, made sure that we had a presentable
script to bring because we had kind of fractured scripts
and then shots that were afterwards and all the stuff
that I needed to kind of integrate into the script
fully so it could be kind of turned over to
and just it was. It was great. And then you know,
I have a couple other projects that I'm working on, obviously,
(06:11):
screenplays for people, just all kinds of comedy stuff, like
little things that pop up like that, can you help me,
you know, write a you know, do memes, can you
help me create this? Can you help me do that?
And there's a lot of people out there who've done
amazing things with comedy. I'm actually one of the funny
(06:34):
things is, uh, there's a really funny comedian. His name
is Adam Cousins. He's awesome, great guy, probably one of
the funniest people ever. He has a driver special if
you want to watch it. But he made an entire
meme account about a city that he lives in, and
it's amazing. It does like I think, like a million
followers or something crazy like that. It's like a lot.
So I'll have him on talking about creating meme accounts
(06:56):
and creating that kind of stuff. There is a world
where comedy is a moneymaker outside of comedy clubs, and
I believe that to be true already. But it's not
just in the traditional form of stand up. It's not
the traditional form of improv or sketch live, not even live.
It's doing things differently, and how can we monitize, especially
(07:19):
in a world of AI where I have played with
AI to see if you can write jokes, dough stuff.
It can do things. It's not fantastic yet, but with
comedic input, your skill, your ability, plus AI's ability to
generate things fast, you could probably make some amazing stuff.
And I'm sure there are people way smarter than me
already working on that kind of stuff. So that's what
(07:39):
I want to do. I actually tried it the other
day to see if it would make a meme, and
it totally made memes. Like knowing that the like current
meme style. It's crazy because you know, if you go
to know your Meme dot com, you go up there
and see what memes are popular or what's out there
and stuff, and it used those memes to create things.
(07:59):
It was very very interesting. So I just kind of
want to go out there. Let me know if you
think funny money is the way to go. I really
like that. I do own a comedy theory podcast dot
com or Comedy theorypod dot com already own that. It's
just one of those things where I don't know where
we're gonna go yet. I'm hoping we can make it work.
(08:21):
I'm hoping that it'll be good to go. I don't know.
Let me know what you think. I would love to
I would love to hear you know kind of what
you guys are thinking when it comes to funny money
and that kind of stuff. It's if it's something that
you really want to to be a part of it,
(08:42):
you want it to be be the world the stuff,
So let me know what you think. I'm very excited.
I think this is a new new way to move forward,
and I think there's a lot to be to come
from this. So let me know if you guys are
in I think funny money is the way I want
(09:02):
to go. But I want to hear from you guys
as well, so let me know, shoot me an email
and get excited for more cool stuff. There's just a
short little episode and kind of wanted to let you
know what's going on, and I didn't want to leave
you hanging. All right, I'll talk to you to have
a good one. Talk to you soon. Bye.
