The duo signed to Brillstein Entertainment Partners and WME in April 2021.

They had first met after being accepted into NYU during their senior year of high school through mutual friends. Trent Simonian, a graduate of Malibu High School, and Jack Byrne, a graduate of Xavier High School, started the show in the fall of 2019 during their first semester as students at New York University. The show utilizes a man-on-the-street technique to interview people across New York City with each episode being approximately one minute long, and is noted for its surreal and/or humorous interviews. Sidetalk is an American Instagram show created by Trent Simonian and Jack Byrne.
