There’s only one way to start a conversation with Jschlatt, and that’s a detailed examination of the social interactions that undergirds deli meat transactions. Getting the perfect slice of meat is a delicate balance of conversation and mouth feel, right down to the millimeter.
We get serious as Kevin pulls a remarkable recent statistic about 98% of kids wanting to become social influencers. Schlatt’s advice? Quit – and he’s got compelling reasons for it. Matt hits a breakthrough processing an old quote about loving what you do and never working a day in your life, because it’s completely backwards.
Schlatt confesses his love for cars – really nice cars, too – and Kevin posits that TikTokers aren’t even going to be able to afford an Uber ride. He’s probably right given the way the platform sources free content, and it’s just not enough to make a sustainable career.
Schlatt delves into excellent advice about developing content skills with streaming and only then cutting down into shorter-form. It’s a funnel that narrows rather than a pipeline that gets wider. If you can talk and you can think/write, you can be funny over 3 hours or 3 sentences. It took Schlatt a long time to get good at streaming – and now he’s molded that into Sleep Deprived, which is part passion project, and Chuckle Sandwich. His method works.
Nuts. Hard candies. Snorting Boom Boom. And, of course, candles – lots and lots of scented candles. This is living.
Schlatt has an idea for a customer service proxy business and he professes his admiration for Scott the Woz before we launch into a series of Patron questions about Texas pizza, Schlatt’s early experiences with the Lone Star State, shooting flamethrowers and a treatise on developing mouth-feel skills.
Kevin laughed so hard through this episode that he was sore and sweating. It was THAT good, and everyone who came out for the live show knows it. Thanks to Schlatt for dropping in again, and a special thanks to the Patrons who make this show happen each and every week. You really are the best.
