Jason Mewes on Five Things, Jay And Silent Bob, and Staying Scrappy in Hollywood

Jason Mewes sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about building a career that’s lasted more than three decades, from his start in Kevin Smith’s Clerks to the ever-expanding Jay And Silent Bob universe, and now into new territory with his YouTube series Five Things. The show, set inside a convenience store, uses everyday items as a jumping-off point for conversations that go way off the usual press-tour script, pulling out stories even longtime collaborators haven’t heard before. Mewes also gets into the evolution of his stand-up "Diary Of A Manchild," how sobriety still shapes the way he approaches the stage, and why he’s shifted away from the heavier material toward something looser and more personal. Along the way, he talks about directing Madness In The Method, revisiting earlier films like Drawing Flies, launching a Murdoch Mysteries podcast, and the reality that staying in the business often means creating your own opportunities. It’s a conversation about longevity, luck, and figuring out how to keep doing what you love, all while still finding time to circle back for another run in the View Askewniverse.Listen to Jason Mewes chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
