This is the very first video I ever made. Back then I had a different vision, but I knew I wanted to do something where me and my friends talked about comedy. This episode was filmed in the green room of the Royal Dive Bar in Oceanside, where I used to produce a bi monthly show. The green room had a popcorn machine with a sign that said "salt your own popcorn". Fellow comic Chase Brocket suggested we use that as the name. I liked the idea of "salt your own popcorn" as a symbol for making the best of the tools at hand. For example I'm salting my popcorn with this project by creating a web show with the limited tools and trying to make it better. You can see a big change as the videos progress.
This episode is all about on and off stage personalities. One comment that comes up a lot with introverted comics is "You don't look like a comic" or "you don't seem that funny". When I picked Jimmy Wolpert and Hayli Nicole to be my first guests, I realized the thing we all had in common was that we acted like different people on and off stage. Watch the video for more details.
