Erik: What are you learning about creating
more sustainable and durable comedy material? Matt: I mean, in general I try to like what
we call is evergreen. Things that don't get old like a lot of time,
you know, there's, especially with web stuff there's so much focus on like, here's what
happened today, you know, what's in the news or, you know, something in politics that happened
and everyone is gonna make a sketch right away about that or something like that, which
it is a good way to get attention in like an online forum but as far as like comedy
it just evaporates, it's just like, you know, it's not something, you know, you can go on
stage and talk about, you know, almost -- you know, most of the time months or years later. So, I definitely think about that, and like
whatever I'm gonna -- it is hard enough to get anything to be funny, that I would, you
know, rather focus my efforts on something that's evergreen that I can keep going back
to months or years down the line. So, that factors in to choice of material
and what you wanna talk about and where you wanna go with things. And then I think it's a little bit related
to what I was talking about before in that, you know, if something is personal or deep
or, you know, something that happened with your family or, you know, something that you're
insecure about, or you know. There are things in life that are, you know,
sort of permanent factors and if you're, you know, talking about those things then you're
gonna get a longer shelf life out of them.
