And now, the Bonfire with Big J. O'Kerson and Robert Kelly.
There's a lot to address to Big Day and comedy.
Big day and comedy today.
And we have some interesting news for people, the comedians that are wondering,
what's happened over here at Sirius XM?
Are the cameras rolling?
I think this should be filmed as well as recorded.
Yes. Jacob, my framed good?
Do I look presidential?
You look very good.
How do I look?
Bobby looks fantastic.
Do I look like I work for the man?
Like I'm here working for the man
You see this series XM logo
You see my logos
And Bobby's got it prominent
Do I have my badge? Let me put my badge on real quick
Bobby pop your badge on
Put my badge on real quick
Let them know what's up
Let me know that
That's official
That's official
That's official.
It's official. Okay you work here for sure
Definitely
Jacob looks like he works here
But it's just in his spare time
But he's not running NASCAR
With all of his endorsements
Yeah Jacob really does look like
He rummages a merch room upstairs somewhere
Yeah
Is that your big brother's coat?
It's a little big
It's a lot big
It's a lot big
It is a lot big
It is a lot big
Jake I'm glad you're laughing while you can
Because with the people
We're about to find out today
A little insight here
There's some hubbub
In the comedy world
I was sent a text
Several texts actually
By several people
Saying hey
This is the time we band together
Lou Whiskey's ex-boyfriend
Sebastian
Manuscal
took over a station here at Sirius XM.
Got some money.
Got himself a little slice of cash.
Add that to the other little slice of cash he's got.
He already had a slice of cash.
Now he's got a bigger slice of cash.
A guy's doing okay.
And I don't know if this is the personality side of him that made you leave him, Lou,
because I know you left.
It was very good to me.
Oh, really, was he?
Really.
I guess it's because he didn't kick you off of Sirius XM.
like he apparently has done to everybody else in the comedy community.
Sebastian Manus Calco has ruined everyone's life.
So they think.
So they think.
Here's the news that's going to surprise a lot of people,
and I've already started texting some of the comedians this
who are little that don't know, that aren't in the know at all.
Who's the problem with things like that?
People jump to conclusions.
Oh, yeah.
And they start doing all this stuff, and they don't know.
you know what I mean?
Like COVID
Well these are things we don't like to really tell the audience
Because our ideas we're supposed to be
We're against the system
You know we always go
It's like
We're the series X-em's fucking us
And the cameras don't work
And there's no blah blah
We don't get the chairs we like
Yeah
And we know we played the
You know that was the Howard Stern taught us that
You know what I mean
It's us first the company
Yeah
Us first the company
But
Which might make sense to people
I think with a lot of the downsizing
They've done here
getting rid of a lot of shows that is slowly but surely becoming a podcast network
we have oh my gosh we're ever slowly but surely losing use for those stupid satellites
i hate when people say things i thought in my head and then tried to meditate out no that's
not happening those are fears all of our ads are on our podcast we're not a podcast they podcast
they podcast the show buddy you don't understand how much it costs to go up to space yeah and come back down
I know.
Do you think someone had to go up,
do you think someone had to fucking spacewalk in the suit
and go up to the satellite
and move our station from 103 to 137?
I'm pretty sure Jacob got that jacket.
I'm pretty sure that he got that jacket from going in space.
This is my spacewalk.
Yeah, yeah.
Jacket.
It's what keeps him warm under his suit.
That's why Jacob's so miserable.
He has to go to space once a month.
Oh, my God.
To make sure.
It's cold up there, Bobby.
That's cold. That's why he's always cold.
It's cold out there in space.
Ground control of major batat.
He's like, I've almost got it.
136, 137.
Dunsky.
All right.
Pull me back in.
One small step for serious exam.
One giant leave for Jacob.
Oh, poor Jacob.
So with all the downsizing here, it's slowly becoming a network.
No more advertisements.
A lot of downsizing since I've been here.
Yeah, they've already gotten rid of.
I think they've started changing.
I think the janitors are now the security, front security.
Everything's changed.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure they're in charge of snacks, too.
It's Iron Man football out here.
We're all playing both ways.
Yeah.
If you want a good snack, you actually have to pay for it now, correct?
And man.
They charge you?
I really feel bad about this because people are going to really...
Look, I'm happy to take the heat off, Sebastian.
But, I mean, we're bringing this on ourselves.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Yes.
Okay.
Because I don't want to see Sebastian.
He's got enough on his plate.
He's got an Italian Thanksgiving coming up right around the corner.
That's going to take him fucking two months to prepare.
You've got to get the Ziti out dente.
You're my dad's going to do a thing.
Forget about it.
See, you've got to be authentic.
He wants, he's got no teeth.
He's got no teeth.
He wants out of dent.
Why would he do that?
I'm happy to take the heat off of him.
He's got enough going on.
Okay.
They asked us when we re-uped our contract
if me and Bobby
with the oversight of Jacob,
Jacob ultimately has a final call.
Ultimately, and we've come up with ideas
and we have to bring it to him
and he has to say yes or no.
Bobby, myself, and Jacob
are the programmers for the comedy channels
over here at Sirius XM.
So everyone who was cut, individually, we cut them as a group.
That's a group.
Now, if you want to bring up some of the videos of the people who are complaining,
I could tell you why I cut them.
Can we start with Rich Voss?
Yes.
Please, we start with Rich.
Particularly Rich Voss.
I have.
It's one second.
Hi, my name is Bickey, Bickie, Ms. Liz Mealy.
Hi.
That was Jacob, by the way.
Liz was Jacob.
Yeah.
Yeah, we actually won Liz on.
I think he was attracted to Liz.
She didn't throw him any vibe.
Yeah.
Off.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she didn't even know he's in studio.
Outsky.
Yeah, Rich Voss.
Rich Voss.
You guys know for sure that Sirius XM has always been free Palestine.
Voss Altsky.
Gone.
We know for sure when we go to the board meetings,
Sirius XM, the heads of Syriksa are extremely free Palestine.
There is an age limit to the channel too.
Also, yes.
Most people don't know that.
That's true.
Yeah, once we get a channel called Comedy Night.
Masters, the Comedy Masters Division?
Yeah.
Where we can get Voss involved, 65 and over.
The Comedy Masters Division.
He's a master.
Voss, Vinnie Brand.
Kippa Dada, just name old comics in the only seen in years.
Gillianetti.
Wayne Federman.
Elaine Boosler.
Rich Voss here.
I just found out I'm being taken off a raw dog radio.
And Voss is old enough to have thought Elaine Boosler was fuckable at one point.
She's not anymore?
What?
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I say I've been doing it long enough to, well, I used to think that I thought the Margaret Cho was really cute.
And then people go, oh, I go, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Go back.
And then we go back, as we've done.
And then it still looks like I shouldn't have thought she was that cute.
But I think she was just Asian and I'm Jewish.
Yeah.
She's always looked like Bobby Lee.
We have a thing.
They bring us food on the holidays.
We can't eat out.
Elaine Boozler was hot, though.
At one point, she was kind of hot.
Yeah, keep saying it.
At one point, Elaine Boozler was kind of hot.
Pre-night court.
Well, think about this.
I will.
Think about back then there wasn't that many female comedians.
You know what?
She was just of the times.
She could have caught it for sure.
100% could have caught it.
Absolutely.
She looks like most porn stars of the time.
You're not wrong.
She's got that little Streisand beak, which I could always get past.
And look at her body back then.
She had a smoking body.
What?
Look at her body.
Look at her body.
What's her body picture you're looking at?
Buddy, her top, her side, go back.
Look at her body back.
Oh my God, did that one picture think Michelle Wolf was Elaine Boozler?
Anybody else catch that?
She's our Elaine Boozler.
Look it, that's not bad, dude.
Can you imagine if our Elaine Boozler fucking hooked up with like Jamestor J?
The way Michelle Wolf's fucking, what's his face?
Drop the Jew and became Muslim.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's become Muslims together.
Come on that.
Is that Boozler?
Bring him back up.
Let me see.
She's hot back in the day.
Boozer could have caught it for sure.
I mean, 100% dude.
Oh, what was that?
More Sebastian doing wrong?
Sebastian is not your enemy.
Look at her.
It's me, Bobby, and Jacob are your enemy.
And mostly Jacob.
Mostly Jacob.
Mostly Jacob.
Me and Bobby throw a little quips out there.
We give our opinions, but Jacob fires the axe.
So if your name is off that list, you have one person, one person only to email.
Jacob.
But I could only assume it's probably Jacob Batat.
Jacob Batat.
But I could only assume it's probably Jacob Batat at Gmail.
Is it?
No, it's not.
Jakey Cakes, 69, 420 at Yahoo.
Let's hear, let's hear, Voss.
I've taken off a comedy great, and I don't want to go into that,
but 43 years in the business over 150 television appearances,
I mean, the list goes on and on, but that's a whole other battle.
Does he count?
What are those TV appearances?
Pay a dollar?
Yeah, but does he count like walking by the news?
Oh, maybe.
Like a live news as a TV appearance?
I was in the background of Good Morning America.
One time.
You can see me buying crack behind
Billy Ray Cyrus
when he premiered Enki Breaking Hartagascar America.
Is Rich filming this in the Renaissance room?
No, that's in the kitchen.
No, kitchen.
You know, Bonnie's nowhere to be found when he's filming this.
He's doing serious.
I want nothing to do with this.
Bobby pledges allegiance to a serious.
I hate, I wouldn't put up
a black square
to show solidarity with
Black Lives Matter.
I won't make any statements on my fucking
social media stuff except for just
what I've done it
in the past a long time ago and you look like a
fucking dildo. Well here's the problem
is why I didn't do it today.
Two problems. One,
I jump to... We work here.
I jump to it. I jumped to
quick. And once they cut those comments,
Me and you got a heavy bump.
We're up to about 4.5 million a year now.
Yeah.
Sound exchange alone.
Sorry, Liz Mealy.
Well, number two is...
Sorry, Rich Voss.
Looks like you're going to have to fucking cash in some of those,
possibly $35,000 or maybe $3,500 paintings you have.
Well, here's the thing, is that we did put ourselves on the chopping block also.
We did.
And Jacob would have...
He'd have none of it.
He would have it.
I said, be honest, Jacob.
Do I deserve to be in heavy rotation where I have passable income making more than
any one of these people complain?
and you said you do deserve that yes and I said okay he wouldn't have it we put ourselves
out there I wouldn't have it really and Jacob said it's not gonna happen I increased your
rotation and they said who you getting rid of you just got rid of 800 people there's a lot of
and you asked me who you get rid of and my first what was my first answer Jim Norton and you went a
little overboard for him off the entire fucking company you threw them out of the company
altogether that was sent down right when you were spacewalking do you know what's crazy about
Vos being kicked off all the channels he still has a pass to get in here that is crazy that's
nuts you might want to stop at the pass first yeah we're gonna come here and get killed with his
archery bows yeah you might you don't get you don't get killed with a bow that says marlborough on the
side of it marlborough miles bow go i'm sorry he's been with serious he's been with serious
TV appearance.
Serious for over 21 years.
21 years.
Opie and Anthony,
I was on there more than any other comic.
I brought Patriceen.
Not Jim?
You weren't on there more than Jim?
He's bragging.
Isn't Jim a comedian?
This guy name drops and forgets people like Dan Cook.
Whoa.
That was a swipe.
And he did trash me the day.
I brought him in.
I did many events, every event with Opie and Anthony, then when it was Opie.
He's going to.
He's going to listing his resume is great.
He's listing literally all of it.
Performed every VFW up and down the turnpike.
The only way this thing would be great is if it just shuts off because he ran out of three minutes.
Well, things says it's running out of time, so I'm a golf.
And we had our own radio show on series.
I'm not really, myself and Bonnie, for two years.
We had our own...
I've been a team player when it comes to serious radio,
going in doing Bennington.
He was a shortstop on our softball team.
He's lost a step, if I'm being honest.
On fire.
Many shows there.
And, you know, travel, gas,
I think.
Hot dogs are $5 because you're right in the middle of time square.
Buddy, I got a drink.
I got to have a drink.
$5 water.
Gum, five bucks.
Traveling gas.
I come and do Jim and Sam.
I'm down $23.
Don't forget the tolls.
It's so funny.
It's so funny.
I mean, and also, like, you know, sure, I get it.
There was a time where I definitely needed that sound exchange money.
but I never like counted on it up.
And I definitely, I don't know, you know what,
there's definitely a time where I could have been pulled into this.
There'd be a nice video of me sitting there going like,
and we work really hard.
And we give that material away to you,
and then we expect to make something off of it.
That is our livelihood and our jokes.
It's my intellectual robbery.
Care, because I love doing serious radio,
and I love being part of the family.
So being taken off kind of hurts.
hopefully this gets to somebody
It did
You got to the guy
Got to the fucking HNIC
Jacob Battott
Yeah
Why was
HNIC
Comedy programming
Jacob Battaghy Pat
Jake Pat
Why were you the
Why was Voss the first one you cut?
You were here the last time
He was on the show
Oh
You know what?
Enough said
Enough said
Okay I'll be honest with you
If we had to go to
Court over Voss being taken off
We might win
Yes
And we know Liz Mealy.
She shot you down.
Not even just with a look.
And you decide she's your enemy forever now.
Who else we fucking get rid of?
Who else do we fucking scrap?
Or maybe it'll get back on some of the other comics that really needed a lot more than me.
Anyhow, have a good day.
I'm going to play golf.
It's not going to ruin my day.
One of the funniest things ever that happened, and I really felt bad about this, was Bobby was so hyped.
When there was some class action thing with Comedy Central a few years back.
Who I was?
Do you, you handle this so wrong, but it's so funny that you did it?
And Bobby was hyped because they were coming in and they were at some class action suit.
Like if you, you know, if you did stuff on Comedy Central,
it's something everybody was getting this money.
It was like, nice chunks of money.
And everyone, you told me to check and I checked.
And they were like, oh, yeah, you got it.
And the money.
And then we were outside with Voss.
And you're like, Vos, you get your Comedy Central money.
We were this and like then you told him how much you got and then I told him how much I got and he
ran home yeah he ran home and then found out he goes you have to have had a special
you know it's got to be after 1977 or something like it was like the date that's big it was something like it was
like it was a special before like 2016 it was only things after 2016 or something and he was just
like ah it's funny he's not part of that lawsuit we already told him
on what we got. Bobby's like, thinking about
a minus, I'm putting the bottom of the tiny house, put on top
the other tiny house.
I mean, the check
was nuts that we got.
Yeah. We all didn't, wasn't expecting it, and then we got it, and poor
Voss. Oh man.
Didn't get a check. Is that everybody? Is that the
one that runs through everybody? Yeah, that runs through.
Yeah, give a dose.
Mealy, Jacob Xed.
A stand-up comedian.
Does a Jacob call. And this video is
for Sebastian Manascalco.
Wow, what a bitch.
Also, so funny, it is funny she took editing liberties to make, like, like, fuck you Sebastian.
And really, it's so fucking hilarious how it has nothing to do with Sebastian Benescal.
I think people, and by the way, if I-
Well, it has everything to do with us.
No, no, I understand.
For sure.
We're the ones.
The idea of picturing Sebastian, he goes, now send me everybody who's out there.
And I'm going to make a couple of notes.
Guys, I'm going to cut around 800.
people.
We're going to cut this down
about 2.15.
You're playing too many
open mic is embarrassing.
My father's
got to listen to this.
If I don't know their face, they're
getting cut.
My father comes, he says, why are you playing
so many women?
Because women aren't funny
it holds true today.
Good editing, though.
By the way, most of these people that we're going to get through,
I bet there's going to be several of them that I love these people.
It's just I had to make a decision.
And my decision was to cut you.
Who's the next one?
Did you go to the next one?
Yeah, see what.
Okay, I don't know who that.
Who is that?
Recently bought the Series 6M channel that played all of the working class comedians.
Who?
Carmen Lagala.
Such a modest income that they're on medical.
I was on Medicaid till this month.
I still go to fucking clinics.
On my life.
I have to do YKWD just to have insurance.
On my life.
I've been on Medicaid for the past.
Now, I did the roast, so I'm back on Sag after now for a year.
But like, I've been on Medicaid.
Can I get Medicaid?
I got mine through YKWD, and I want to stop it so bad.
I have to do it.
Not Medicaid, but you know, state insurance.
Like, it was the same shitty stuff everybody's on.
And it's not that bad.
It sucks.
It sucks fucking dick.
It's not that bad.
But your sound exchange money is not going to change that.
Okay, next.
I don't know.
Okay.
Oh, here we go.
Hi, my name's Adrian Appalooch.
Appaluch.
And this message is for Sebastian and Escalico.
Appaluch, too serious.
Well, we don't know that yet.
She might have something.
Okay.
You know what?
You know what?
That's true.
It is Adrian who is fucking hilarious.
Maybe this is going in a hilarious direction.
A fellow Paizan.
And also a fellow Paizan.
I don't think Adrian's cut.
Huh?
I don't think Adrian's cut.
I'm just assuming all these people are cut.
It's not all people that are, it doesn't seem like it's all people that were cut.
This was a Bobby call because Bobby tried to flirt with her on the road and she didn't
respond either.
Actually, Louis told me to cut her.
Oh, Louis said cutter.
Yeah, he doesn't like her attitude since her special.
Yeah.
He said she's gotten highfalutin since the world's recognized her genius.
Yeah.
He doesn't like it
He said she's a threat
Yeah, too good
Get the fuck out of here
What your funny ass
Who's got time for it?
I'm not sure if you realized it
In doing so
You took 800 comedians
That were originally on the channel
And you reduced it to about
300 comics
And in doing so you took 500
Working Fast Comics off the channel
I only reduced balsamic
I reduce a sauce
And if you don't
There's too much vinegar taste
I do a vinegar reduction
To put on top of my buffalo
Mozilla
I leave a sauce for two days
To reduce
You gotta reduce
And then put it in the gravy
And then you put the pork in
I'm one of those comics
That was taken off the channel
Damn, Christine, you feel like an asshole now.
Well, I mean, there's also
just because you're off the channel,
doesn't mean you're off the channel forever,
it just means you're not in the current rotation.
Is that what they told you to say?
Is that what they said?
Is that what they said?
Is that what they said at the meeting?
Because me and Bobby don't go to the meetings.
We just cut.
We just willy-nilly cut people off the network,
and then they revisit it every six months,
then we go, actually, I saw that person,
and they were kind of nice to me,
so they can be back on.
That's the thing that people don't know.
You can be back on.
It depends on how you treat me
and Jay in the public.
Yeah.
Or if you send videos to us.
Damn right.
We have to mention the bonfire.
What a great show it is.
You do.
And you have to mention that my special
is being taped on the 12th,
where we're going to be this weekend,
and then you have to say something nice about both of us.
And I know it's dicey legality,
but we'll also take sexual favors
in exchange for you getting back on the network.
Right.
Is that illegal?
Not just from women.
No, we'll take it from men, too.
What?
Oh, yeah.
We're not massaginists.
Yeah.
But just no.
No, if it's a guy, we're doing each other a favor.
I don't want it either, but I did make a rule, and I don't want to seem misogynistic
where I'm just catching blow jobs for spots on serious XM.
Catching head.
Yeah.
The ultimate sound exchange.
Such a great way to say it, catching head.
Yeah, just fucking catch a little head.
Yeah, it's not even cheating when you catch it.
Yeah, give me some fucking...
Just fucking give me some dome, and I'll fucking throw you on, uh, I'll throw you on blue-collar
radio.
Throw me some dome, you dumb southern comic comedian.
Can we come up with another channel maybe, like called the B side or the B comics?
The B comics?
That's going to drive traffic.
That's going to make everybody feel good.
Look, we're putting a channel together called All the Other Shit.
It's on Channel 999.
Jacob, put on your spacewalking outfit.
God damn it.
I'm just spitballing.
What do you do?
He's got the internal thing.
What are you doing?
Jacob.
We can't afford to put all these comedians back on, Jacob.
Do all tracks to pay my bills, whether it be towards my rent or my car insurance.
Yeah, yeah, skip it.
Okay, skip me.
Who's that?
Fat Joe.
It looks exactly like me.
The volume's up, but it's not.
A little too, Brian.
It's on YouTube.
Check it out.
I was hoping to get that special.
The little self-plug is always great, too, in the middle of it.
Catch my podcast.
A little bit of Brian.
and that's where I do some random quips about today's news.
Anywho, Sebastian Manascalco, you guinea piece of shit.
Is there any...
A comedy fan or Sebastian Manuscalco, do we know?
A human being I've met before?
How's it the oldest and youngest comics?
Oh, here we go.
Sean Donnelly, finally.
Sebastian Manascalco, and for anybody else who does not know the situation.
If you don't know, Sebastian will have a new channel on serious...
We can probably convince Sean.
that aliens deprogrammed him up in the satellite.
If we could just AI a video of aliens doing something to the satellite,
maybe Jacob fighting the alien a little bit, but he loses, not in time,
before he fucking hit the button on Sean Donnelly.
We could say that Sebastian is not of this realm.
He is an alien.
That's very, very possible.
Or he's a robot.
That's serious created.
He doesn't interact with anybody.
Sebastian just shows up at shows magically, huh?
And they just turned up the Italian on the robot.
Absolutely.
Because Sebastian used to be like, hey, how you guys do it?
And he goes, turn it up to 11 and rip the fucking knob off, dude.
This guy's going ginso all day long.
I put a little, cologne, I put a little olive oil on my neck.
I want you to turn up the ginsengenzo and turn down the dice.
Man, Sean Downley looks like if you had to fuck that mouth in prison, I'd break down on that one.
I think after about a year in the joint, I'd go, now that looks like a fucking pussyhole.
Which is a perfect pause, Christine.
I gotta tell you, don't change it yet.
I'm still getting hard.
Look at that fucking fuckhole, dude.
It's because he has...
Can you see your nuts resting right on, like, the white part on the bottom?
Because he has a...
His upper lip and his lower lip are the same size.
And they're hidden inside of a bush.
God, it makes a perfect fuck pocket.
God damn, dude.
I say we put him back in as long as we can fuck his mouth.
Yeah, dude.
Give me some dome, dude.
Let me catch some of that mouth.
Yo.
Yeah.
How did Donald get back in?
Gave me brain.
He gave me head and he gave me a ship and a bottle.
He gave me head and then he warned me about an incoming asteroid that probably has somebody piloting it.
Skip?
Yeah.
Oh, here we go.
Sebastian Manascalco for a serious comedy fan.
Please listen up.
Rodark Channel in Sirius is now...
Thanks for taking the time in the airport there, Carmen Lynch.
And there he goes.
Seriously, Sebastian, put people back on.
I got to go.
they're boarding group one.
I'm going to say this soft so nobody can hear me.
Okay, listen.
Listen, I've got to put this out here.
Okay, Sebastian, super not cool.
Why does, again, prove me wrong about this, I guess.
But why does anyone think Sebastian has anything to do with this whatsoever?
I think what they're trying to do is that.
I promise you, Kevin Hart is not looking at a list of people to put on Kevin Hart's Lowe.
No, that's true.
He does do that.
Yeah, that's right, because they won't let us hire and fire on his channel.
Kevin went through a list.
He doesn't allow people on it.
I'm not on this channel.
Yeah, you're white.
Oh, yeah.
No white's allowed, dude.
That's the flavor over there.
Only silly white, black.
Maybe, yes.
I don't know if I'm on Kevin Hart's L.O.L.
Jacob, did you cut me from that?
Without telling me?
But someone did?
No, I don't know if you're...
Kevin Hart?
You have to talk to Kevin.
What if the only cut Sebastian ever made on Series X-M was from Kevin Hart's channel?
He's not responsible for this at all?
No, I made changes over at L.O.O.W.
Let this play until we hear Zone 4.
Oops, got a jam.
Fuck, I left my credit card to Hudson News.
Connecting flight to Boston.
Dude, she was like, I don't want to do this later.
When I get home from this gig, I want to relax.
So I'm just going to do it at the airport.
This was a phone call.
That's tired.
It's removed 500 comedians.
I love the number keeps changing, too, by the way.
It's 800.
500. Because every time they open their fucking mouth, we cut 100 more. That's right, Jacob.
Jacob's got the right there. Push the button. Who got, who didn't get cut? That's what I want to know.
Famous people. That's right. Sebastian's friends and the deceased. Sebastian, if you are listening to this, please reconsider.
A lot of us use this money to rest while we are. Did they really, did we really cut people who are dead?
No, no, no, we give money to people that are dead. No, no. I think their estate doesn't need money?
I think we cut people who are dead
So they went through people
Anybody who's dead
You got cut from the fucking jail
Is that
One of the other complaints
Is that it's people who are dead
Getting all kinds of run
So they're not
Where's the money going
You mean famous comedians who are dead
Yes but it's there states
Joan Rivers
Everyone's made about Joan Rivers
You know how much it keeps
To keep that big house empty
And everything running
Yeah her dogs are still alive
The dogs are still in there
You gotta keep those little shit
Do you think Melissa doesn't go by once
in a while? What do you want to be fucking cold in there?
Get out of here.
Someone's got to sit there to babysit those statues.
Wait a minute. She's walking to huts and news to get
water and some peanut nb-nams.
Do you guys have green monster
juice? No?
All right. Anywho, Sebastian, you prick.
I'll pay the rent.
Pay for our families.
And it was really quite a big chunk. And now we're going to have to
look for another job. And as you know,
from back when you first started, it's very
difficult to be a comedian and find another job.
and still do stand-up comedy.
So please reconsider.
Also, I don't have pretty feet,
and I don't want to be a rapper.
What?
But who's making money on spins on Series X-M
if you're not making money anywhere else in comedy?
Well, these people are working comics.
If you're on Series X-M,
shouldn't you already be somebody working at least
if you're headlining, like, B&C clubs?
I'm not saying you have to be a known comic at all.
I'm going to answer you a question if you let me.
I've got five more questions.
I want to tack on to it.
Okay, go ahead.
Sorry.
Keep that up, you're about to get Gary Goldman cut.
Bring up Goldman.
You want to cut him?
He didn't get cut.
I'll cut him in two seconds.
I know.
He's your boy.
We gave him special exception.
That's goddamn right.
But say something funny again.
You want to see if I'll cut him?
I'm going to cut him.
No, I'm not going to say anything.
What I'm saying is...
All right.
I'm going back in, but I want you to see the power I have.
Okay, good.
Guess what?
He's back out.
Guess what?
Josh, gone.
What?
No, wait.
He was already gone.
Sorry.
He was never on.
Was he on?
No, we didn't have him on.
Josh is just such a personality
that he would be the perfect person
to have made it and everybody else gets cut.
If anyone's going to believe that we are the people
that make this happen.
Is Josh off?
I don't know about Josh's comedy.
I don't know if Josh was ever on.
Yeah, I don't know.
That must make people feel bad who are never on.
Yeah, Josh is like, this is fucked up.
Can you play my stuff at all?
Who's that?
for Sebastian Manascalco
and fans of comedy.
Who is it?
Yeah.
Why do we come in?
Christine, I'll just tell them who it is.
Pause it.
Pause it right there.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Who is that?
Oh, boy.
This is great.
Oh, please don't tell me.
This is great.
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
And young Christine first met.
Oh, God.
Please don't do this.
And we started dating.
I asked her and she, here's a thing again,
Christine is almost everybody who's met me.
Every one of my daughter's friends, strangers who don't meet me, even fans.
I'm not the person they think I am.
Yeah, Jay seems like he's way cooler.
He actually is when you see him from afar.
So she goes, we were sitting on a step, smoking a joy, I think.
And I go, I go, and, you know, because, you know, Christine's also at the time a problem alcoholic.
So I'm like, that means you probably said on Joe DeRosa's face at least, right?
And I go, have you ever?
you haven't really hooked up with the other comics
in New York
at all have you? And then she goes, I think there was
like three, but I was like anybody
I know and she goes, no, she goes, oh my God,
you know the one you know, it's like it's so funny
and I'd say, John F. O'Donnell
and I went...
What?
You slept with him? You slept
with him? Bobby.
He is mentally ill as well.
Bobby. She slept with him. She paid for his cab
to get there. She bought him pizza.
I didn't pay for anybody's cab to get there. I paid for the
cat back to my house. Yes. That he was
in. She paid for the cat back to the house
and then bought him pizza because he was hungry.
You bought him food? So you hired a... I bought him pizza.
I ordered pizza. Yeah.
So you paid for him to have... You fed
him? You got him there
and you fucked him? Because she thought
he wouldn't if she didn't do all those things for him.
I was just getting home and getting
pizza and he happened to be there.
What? No, now, no.
She loved him. What kind of sex
was it? Was he just...
Heterosexual? Did you guys kiss?
Oh, Bobby
Tell me you didn't kiss him
Oh my God
Frenched him hard probably
Who had sex without kissing
Do you think I'm a hooker?
Prostit
I've done it
Like I'm sorry
I'm not a pinning
No
I don't think you're the hooker
Yeah, prostitutes get paid
Yeah he got paid in pizza and cabrods
You know what
It does sound better with the ex and say
Christine gets paid with pizza and cabrides
I still get his newsletters
Oh good
And then Christine go
He's a bonkers dude.
He's a sweetheart.
But he's like a bonkers dude
who like kind of flow off the handle a few times
sort of publicly.
And Christine would go when her friends would be like,
why did you fuck that guy?
She goes, you don't even know.
He's like the most brilliant mind
in comedy in the city
because she was trying to make herself feel better.
You called them the most brilliant?
No.
You said you told your lesbian friends
that he's like a really.
I was like, really funny
because my friends were looking at me
like, why did you fuck this guy, Christine?
I love that Christine
going to her old character.
to who she was really quick.
Oh, yeah.
He sounded like I was about.
Oh, my God.
Like, what are you guys
be talking about?
He's brilliant.
He has fucking fascinating ideas on stage.
They're just not flushed out yet.
No.
I love pizza and he loves pizza and we cast.
He has a penis.
I have holes.
He talked about being crazy
and being lucid and I related.
No, you didn't at the time.
You didn't know you were crazy
to fucking five years ago.
Crazy people know they're crazy.
I knew it was coming.
I smelled it in my family history.
I know it was there waiting for me.
Wow
You just say
I mean
Oh what you want to get rid of him
Yep
You don't want to see his face anymore
Yeah let's tell everybody again
My fucking
Christine drink it in
Drink it in
I hope six of these comics
Christine had sex with
No it was just him
Do me fair to go back to his face
Who?
Your boyfriend?
Him
Pause it for a second
So then
Christine
Couldn't be nicer to me
Can I just say he looks like
Joe DeRosa and Jay
If they had a baby
I'm just saying
But it was born way premature.
I was hanging out with Joe and John, the night I had sex with John.
So it was a toss-up.
I guess you picked the right one?
For your current state of life?
But the Rose, I wouldn't have gotten over.
Oh, no way.
No, I was going to be going.
I was going to be like, oh, yeah, all right.
Yeah, she should be choosing to kill Tony right now.
But Christine, still, this is Christine.
This is such an old, like, this legend of the bonfire,
This is Jason Ellis.
Had something to do with this where he got in.
And then at Skankfest 1, or we did the trial on the show.
And Skankfest 1, you guys talked about it on Legion of Skanks.
We did?
You and Jonathan Fadonna.
John Fadonna came on the show.
Yeah, we talked about it at the...
I wasn't on the show.
No, no, no.
John was on the show.
Yeah, yeah.
And you guys talked about it.
Yes, yes, at Skangfest.
Yeah, the Wii is them, not you.
Yeah, not you.
I think it was at the creek.
No.
It was great.
Oh, but it may have been Skank Fest.
He did, by the way, he said the funny...
He's figuring it out loud on a radio show.
He said the funniest thing that you say.
He goes, yeah, look, we just had one night where we explored each other's bodies.
They made me laugh pretty on.
No, he really leaned in it.
He's like, we had a great time.
Like, everything was nice.
Oh, I could see them slowly going up and down each other's bodies.
Yeah, you have to go slowly because of the same height.
Yeah, he had to put his glasses on.
What's this?
What is this?
There's pizza sauce on my glasses.
Christine, you can't eat pizza and blow me at the same time.
She's like, oh, I also calls me Evans, like DeRosa does.
Nice, yes, true.
I porked Evans last night.
That sounds hot.
That's your sex name in the community, Evans.
Who, Evan?
Bob Evans.
It's actually a verb now.
Did you evince her?
Yeah, you get Evans?
Do you get Evans?
So when we were at a, this is what she ended up going on trial for, Christine, how horrible this was.
She was, we were at a DC improv.
Christine got obliterated.
And earlier that day, Jonathan Donald messaged me, and he lived down there at the time.
And he goes, hey, I'm going to see here in town.
He goes, I was going to come by, swing by and say hi, hang tonight a little bit.
And I went, sure, come on by.
So he comes by.
Christine knew he was coming.
It wasn't a big deal.
Everyone's fine.
Everyone's adults years later also.
But like, he, at the end of the show, I go, I got to go do meet and greet in the lobby.
So you stay there and Christine's just getting hammered.
And John O'OFodnell's in the room.
and two fans and a couple friends.
It was just like it was a full green room.
And I don't know what's going on there
while I'm out doing my meet and greet.
But wait, before this starts,
Jay's definitely let people know that I've had sex with John.
He couldn't just let it go and let us enjoy the night.
Not in this room.
No, he's all kissing babies and shaking hands.
He couldn't just be like,
this is my friend John and not tell everybody I'd fucking...
No, I didn't that night.
100% of the night,
because that's why I was so jarring.
It was just being cool and fine.
the only thing people found out about this
was well after this happened
because we talked about this situation.
I go in the green room
at the end
and Christine just tossed
and she's sitting next to John
and everyone's like that she goes
oh great
now two guys
who were all dog me are in the room
oh my God
you fucking slut
Evans the manager of the club
was in there
no what's wrong with you
that's not the worst part
that's not the worst part
what a hole bag
what was the worst
part.
What was the worst part?
Is that the worst part?
What was the worst part?
I just might be forgetting.
What's the worst part?
You know, what is it?
Come on.
We're already here.
Didn't I do something?
You did something with him?
No, I didn't do something with him.
You fucking, did you?
Did you?
No, I didn't hook up with him and all.
There's no way.
Oh, my God.
Are we finding out real time that you blew the guy while Jay was shaking his inside?
Jay was being famous Jay.
You blew John of Donald while I was doing a thing?
But John, you told Jason Ellis, and Jason else told him he should break up with me.
Jay was out front just putting his hand on his chest.
Rebecca was guessing he had a pinky dick, but that's not it.
That's not it.
You never said he had a tiny, tiny wean or anything.
No.
No, what is it?
What is it?
What did you do?
You do remember.
I thought something, no, I thought something, I thought like I fell or something.
On his cock?
But I think I'm mixing up.
Oh, she was there.
That was the same night, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what I was.
What do you mean?
What's Sophia?
That's a funny one.
I was just, so places are,
You guys are just slut bags, I love it.
You guys are just Evans and everybody.
We were great.
We were awesome.
We ruled.
Now you guys are into Shakooter in candles.
I'm just not out as much.
I'm not outside as much.
Well, this was booze for sure, but this girl that night,
so everyone's already uncomfortable,
but this girl was coming to hang out with us that night.
And so she comes back to the room.
Christine's obliterated.
And then we got there, this very pretty girl.
We were both excited to hook up with just laid down ground rules, which is fine.
But they were like, I mean, it was essentially it was like, I don't get on top.
I don't do blow jobs.
I don't like to have my pussy eating.
And I can't come.
Let's have some fun.
I was like, I don't get on top.
I know what?
She handed out laminated.
Take these, read them over.
Let me know.
I'll be in the other room getting undress.
It was why everything was just like
But you know besides that let's have a lot of fun
I don't like come on me
I don't like to be fucked
I don't like to fuck
I don't like sucking dick or eating pussy
I don't get my pussy eaten
I don't like to be watched while I'm eating pussy
Basically if you could French kiss me
Until I change my mind
And then I'm gonna get out of here
Wow Christine
She went for it
She went for that
By the way
By the way
Came crawling back a few times
And he was busy
He was
You went back to him for more
Got pretty Christina's
Look at her
Christine you went back
What an idiot
Oh you really lucked out
Alcohol
On what?
You could have been there
I didn't date people Bobby
Jay's so lucky
I give a shit about him
I just had sex with a guy
You're lucky I give you shit about
What you're kidding?
What the fuck was that?
What do you think I started
I'm going around
loving everybody
I'm sorry
You were advertising everybody
Yeah I was new to town
My black book was in Los Angeles
And I was kind of fat
So what do you do?
You give the pussy out.
What do you do?
Pizza and cab rides.
Pizza.
Peter and cab rides.
How many are these stories are there?
Look like there's got to be 60 or 17.
This is being continued on skanks tonight.
I know, I want to go fucking talk it.
I wish she was a good show puppy.
All right, go ahead.
Don't know him.
Don't know who that is.
He's got great hair, though.
Kurt Brownhor.
Dude, I know him.
This video is for Sebastian Manascalco.
also you know we always talk about what the fuck
this video is for Sebastian Manascalco
this is the worst part about having to do one of these videos
you have to come up with a thing
his thing was an orange god forbid
I'm gonna say it's out loud
god forbid we're somehow wrong and Sebastian
Manascarco has gotten every dime that has been taken from
these comedians
people are gonna be like hey fuck face there's actual evidence
that's what's happening oh that seems insane to me
oh look at that
Oh man.
I was trying to find him, Liz Mila, but this is the correct.
Or Samarreal's coming out?
Yeah, he is.
Oh, Sebastian Mousalco.
I just went to hear and say his name.
This is an open letter of Sebastian Bouscalco.
I don't think what it's good, do you do, though?
I think you should give people money for their things and put the things back on the program.
Matt Bressard.
Oh, Matt Bershardt.
Talking about with the guy from Ted.
And there is one name behind this crisis.
And that name is Sebastian Manuscal.
Matthew, explain the situation.
What has happened here is that Sirius Raw radio was station that played roughly 800 comedians,
many of whom received hundreds, even thousands a month of passive income.
That money was crucial to a lot of these comedians.
That is now going away because Sirius Raw Channel is being rebranded as Sebastian Manascalco's.
Keeps calling it raw.
It's driving me nuts.
It's also a different channel.
It was actually called Raw Comedy.
Raw comedy?
When did it stop being Raw Dog?
A couple years ago.
Why?
Because the implications?
of what Christine likes to do with me and
John and Bo Doggin.
You didn't raw dog him, did you?
That's what she said in the room.
I love Christine.
I went, of course, you pussy.
I got into condoms.
You think he had AIDS?
Told you, I was an alcoholic and I was fat.
You have to raw dog.
You think he had AIDS?
You think a guy's putting a condom on for a fat alcoholic?
He should have asked
he should have asked Christina wear a condom.
Yeah, really.
She's a platform for him for his podcasts.
as well as for other comedians.
What has happened is that the distribution of comedians now being played on the channel,
though it's the same number of spins,
we're seeing a massive expansion of already famous comedians.
Before, the top 100 comedians made up about 40% of the spins.
Now the top 100 comedians make up about 90%.
So hundreds of comedians are being cut out of the monthly rotation,
and the ones who are getting played are either dead or currently on a yacht.
Eddie Murphy, Joan Rivers.
You know how much of yacht cost, by the way?
I like the idea, though.
It's a weird argument again because there's just so much like fucking to it.
He goes, and then they're just playing famous comedian.
He goes, well, people want to hear them.
They're famous.
How about this?
Become famous.
He goes, he goes, what do I got to hear, Dink?
I'm trying to hear somebody I've never heard of before with a terrible recording of themselves.
I'm trying to hear Mike Bondino.
Mike Bondino.
You know, Mikey Bondino.
Mikey Bee.
Oh, he's the comedy king of North Fork.
Skip or keep?
Skip.
You skip.
Skip this.
Oh, here we go.
Marina.
How you doing that?
I will stop this offensive Italian accent.
If you do one thing, reverse what's going on, my friend.
Come on.
Is the accent offensive?
I don't think any Italian people would ever be like, hey, come on now.
Well, when you don't like them doing their accent back at them.
That is my point.
That is my point.
I'm being offended.
We can't be like, listen, motherfucker.
Kevin Hart ain't put me on his fucking channel.
You can't do that.
I was 800 comedians.
And now they're slashed in all these hardworking comedians
who are working class comedians.
I mean, they are class.
Wait, is she still doing the impression?
I thought the impression was gone for a minute.
She's fading in, no.
She's not an impressionist.
I love me some marina, but she is not an impressionist.
I think everybody should hire Dan to do any impressions.
They are needed to do this.
I'll just lip-s-s-sing out.
shit.
Could you imagine?
It's like being unemployed all of a sudden.
She's turning to Rosie Perez.
Why is she turning Puerto Rican halfway through?
Could you imagine?
Could you do?
This is how they make their money.
Their bills, their rent, their home, their family.
Ticket sales, actually right now are 20% down.
Didn't some change anyway?
It doesn't have to be behind a record label has to put the album, right?
Yeah.
There's always been like quality control, though.
You couldn't just like...
Ooh, I don't know, man.
There was some bad recordings I used to hear back in the day.
It was like clinking glasses.
Everybody in last now?
That one wasn't great.
Actually, that one is doing great on Sebastian Channel.
Oh, that's a hard, dude.
That's like double money.
No, I have this one track.
Hi, I'm Bernadette Polly.
And I'm L. D. Charm.
I swear to God, I thought these two died 15 years ago.
Yeah.
In my mind, one of the people I don't see them,
I just assume they died.
Can I just say something?
You know where we fucked up last week?
Except Roger McFadden, he did die.
He's not dead.
Yeah.
Did he die?
Oh, thank God.
Oh, you're finally out of that a wheel deal?
No, diamonds.
I was in a diamond mine in Africa.
You know, didn't die?
Remember last week we were talking about eight guys?
And we were talking about the Italian guy that was the MTA cop that was big for him.
John de Resta.
John de Resta is not dead.
Did I say he was dead?
I think I might have.
And he's alive.
And he's upset.
Do you call him dead?
No, I maybe, no.
He sent me a thing.
He went, you know what he did?
He looks fantastic.
He looks so funny.
He aged fantastic.
You don't even know how good he looks right now.
He looks fan.
Look at him.
He looks like a Navy seal now.
Jesus.
What a glow up.
I mean, shit.
Good for him, dude.
He got hair.
He got thin.
He got tattoos.
He looks fantastic.
Oh, look, Carla.
And he, there's a.
Whoa, shit.
That's guy who used the governors.
And before anyone gets angry about that,
I put Carla's comedy in a heavy rotation
because that's part of our divorce settlement.
I had to.
And I had to talk Sebastian about that.
Sebastian, you're going to have to make a little room on the channel
for my ex-Colombian-Argentian wife.
That's correct.
I had to put her, she's my opener.
Anytime I'm in Long Island, too,
that was in his divorce settlement too.
But he went and started doing, like, furniture,
making furniture at a certain point.
He just was like, fuck this,
went and started doing furniture.
Now he's a successful, like, furniture guy or something like that,
and he makes all these things, and he makes a ton of cash, and he does comedy still.
He's not dead.
He's actually very successful.
Who yelled this at you?
And he looks fantastic.
Who yelled this information to you for getting wrong?
I just found out about it.
You have to look him up?
No, he sent me a thing on the...
Well, he sent Danny told me that he sent something.
I got to check it out later.
Yeah, look at all this.
He makes high-quality furniture now and makes it killing.
He makes all this stuff.
I love it.
Yeah, and he looks.
fantastic. Well, now that he's alive, I'd love some
furniture. Yeah, you can get a table. Get a table.
I'll tell you this. John, the rest of you're listening to this.
You make me a nice enough table.
I'll put you back in rotation over here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got to talk about it. Oh, Bobby also needs a table.
I want a rocking chair.
Bobby wants a rocking chair.
Jacob, anything?
I'd like a table.
And also a table. Two tables and a rocking chair.
All right. Two rocking chairs.
Two tables.
And two tables. Rebecca, do you need anything?
I'd love a rocking chair.
We've got three rocking chairs. We've got two tables.
Lou, you get, need something?
End table.
End table.
Look at these nice guys.
Throw in a bookcase from elsewhere.
We got a bookcase.
Also a bookcase.
So a bookcase, two tables, three rocking chairs.
End table.
Lou, what do you need?
I'll stay away from the end tables, but
maybe like a heavy-duty rocking chair would be great.
So four rocking chairs, one heavy-duty.
We got an end table, two tables, and you want it in a bookcase.
And we'll get you on Comedy, USA.
We'll put you...
No.
We got to put a...

Usurped him, and then he married her.
Skip ahead, please.
You skip that, Jason Salmon.
It's me, Katie.
First of all, did you watch the Bears game on Sunday?
That's Katie.
Actually, last Monday was better.
I'm actually from Naperville.
We do not have horse racing here.
Whenever I don't know anybody, and they seem manic and crazy.
I just usually look at Rebecca.
Rebecca, who's this?
That shit.
Mania.
Yeah, Rebecca.
Who's this frizzy-haired person who does a Tuesday midnight show at the creek?
Keep going.
Christine, no.
Christine and Rebecca know all these people.
Oh, I don't.
Oh, I know.
I like dogs.
Sebastian.
Talking to you.
Sebastian Manascalco, as some of you may not know.
I didn't know until recently.
He took over serious raw dog XM, a channel that plays
close to 800
working comedians
and they depend on those spins
for royalty money
money that pays their bills
um
pays their rent
a lot of them to take time
maybe Stanley Street wasn't pumping
like that when I was younger
Jay we can't talk from the pedal stills
we're on we have to try to
look at the perspective of the
you know the other people
when we made these cuts
you understand
we have to look at what they're coming from
Besides our guaranteed 80,000 spins a month.
Yeah.
I don't really know what they fill the other time with.
Throw some of these people in there.
Well, the thing is, how we were going to get to 80,000 spins if we had Katie and Al and Bernadette Polly spinning, too.
We had to make a room.
Oh, man, I don't know who Pat Brown is, but she seems serious as shit.
You said she?
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, D.L. Huli got involved?
Yeah, man.
I am coming to
Oh hey
That's true spiel
That is Drew Spiel
Dave Hill
Man these are skipping really fast
Sorry
Are you not doing that
No
They're just showing you how many people have done it
Who the Christ is that
Of Fira Eisenberg
Oh
A lot of people ask me
How do you make money
As a stand up?
Great question
Well a lot of different ways
Obviously live shows
Television if you can
But also radio series
XM. So many of us put out our specials and our audio products and then we love getting those radio
plays. It helps sell tickets. It helps. We get a little bit of money from it. And a big place that
you could listen to all kinds of stand-ups. How many comedy channels are there? Why is there so
much hubbub over the one? I'm wondering. Because that was the one that played everything.
You didn't have to be clean. You didn't have to. That was the one you could play everything.
Huh? Sebastian was raw dog. Yeah. I mean, it took over the channel. But it didn't.
take over the channel. It took over
its place of like a comedy channel
but it's not like it didn't
it's not even on the same channel
it's not like 99 became Sebastian
yeah neither a week. Sebastian didn't make that
I don't think it was presented to Sebastian
that
he's gonna cut 500 people
hey Sebastian
this is gonna make 500 people really mad at you
if I'm speaking from the gut I don't quite understand
Sebastian Manuscalco radio at all
I don't understand the part of doing it but like
that's not a dig on Sebastian I'm just like it
It seems like a weird, like, you're looking for one.
Well, they like people to see, they like famous people.
They like a famous name on the channel.
So then people are like, oh, I love him.
Let me listen to this.
And they probably play him.
They feel like they weren't getting,
they feel like you're going to get more listeners from just his core audience
than people that would just listen to, like, stand up in general.
I would think that, yeah, I think that he would probably attract more people.
Yeah.
Well, it's really going like a Sebastian,
and Escalco, a bigger brand than,
raw comedy. Yeah. And it's like
that alone is kind of like... Like if you see Sebastian's
face, you might click it to listen, and then
it's a bunch of people. But if you just see
raw comedy, you might not click it.
I think it's... I don't know. I think I would click
on raw comedy more than, like, I would feel like one person's
like leading me
like down a path. You know, it's like, oh, I don't want all kind
of one thing. I would want it to like kind of switch up a bunch.
Yeah. But I don't know. It seems
like strange that... But let me ask you question.
If these people got cut
and they don't make the money, and then
they have to quit comedy and get a job,
right won't that add more people to comedy shows won't ticket sales go up because
there's not as many comedy shows going on because the community will get smaller
and now the people that are in will get more people at their shows because there's
less out there I didn't follow you at all I I'm sorry I when you looked over me I
was like shit I'm saying follow
Now, if this is going to put a lot of people out of business, right?
A lot of people are going to be out of business right now.
They're going to have to go get jobs and quit comedy.
That's where I'm hitting a wall with this a little bit myself.
Like, if not getting sound exchange requires you to get a job, you probably needed a job.
Does that make sense?
No, it does.
That's what I'm saying.
It's kind of harsh.
I don't remember getting sound exchange money that is ever like, like, I could quit a job.
It didn't exist.
When we were coming up, it didn't exist.
You either had to become a stand-up, become a headliner and make money and get people to come out to see you or...
Open for a bunch of people.
Yeah.
Go work C&D clubs and headline shit rooms and do all the stuff you got to do.
And bring your cost of living down, living shitty places, not have as much stuff.
You know what I mean?
Take the bus to the airport instead of a car.
Never.
I never do that a million years.
You're crazy.
I'd walk first.
You never took the blue van?
Yeah.
Oh, dude, the blue van.
You take the blue van.
It picks you up at your house, but it makes seven other stops in the city.
And then you go to the airport.
Oh, Christ.
And on the way home, you have to make stops too.
So you don't get home.
It may take 20 minutes to get home.
But if there's 15 people on the bus, you don't get home for three hours.
I tried to train the JFK once.
I wanted to tear my fucking face off.
I'd rather sit in three hours of traffic.
I'd rather walk.
Yeah, me too.
Or I'd rather become better.
But I, yeah, I don't.
That's what almost this.
Maybe it's,
maybe selling exchange breaks off a lot more money than,
and also I'm saying,
if people are like the,
if they're lower,
like,
you know,
like,
wrong like comics as far as like work,
you know,
in the,
in the headlining world,
if they're lower on the,
how many spins were they getting?
Yeah,
but if you're,
if you're opening for people
and you're traveling,
you're playing the B rooms,
blah,
blah,
and you're making enough money,
and then all of a sudden
the check for 400 bucks comes in
or 800 bucks,
that's going to pay a bill,
that's going to take care of something.
So this money to them actually,
they needed that.
That was put into the equation
of I can keep doing this.
And now it's gone overnight.
But how can you put that in the equation
when there's no rhyme?
To me, it's...
Because it was in the equation
when they came up.
You know what I'm saying?
Right, but it's like between...
So you go, all right, so this month
I'm going to do this.
I'm headlining here.
I'm opening for someone here
and blah, blah, blah.
Do all these things.
And you go, and the sound exchange
is going to come in for like,
I don't know, $7,000.
Every quarter.
It's not even every month.
It's every quarter.
You're going to get a check for seven or eight hundred bucks.
But it is nice to get it.
It might just be, I'm behind that time.
Yeah, you were in front of that time.
You weren't, you didn't come up with that in the equation.
I understand, but it was never in my, I was never factoring it.
It was when it showed.
When it showed up, I'd be like, by the way, when it showed up, I'd be like, oh, thank God.
Like, I think I told he's outside.
I'm like, oh, thank God.
Like, now I can do Christmas shopping.
Like, I can buy, I could buy my daughter some things for Christmas because I didn't have extra money.
to get her.
Oh, it feels good when you get that sound exchange.
Of course, it's what I'm saying.
So I had it, but I'd never factored in it as like my daily like, oh, don't even worry
about it.
Sound exchanges come in this month so we could get a new TV.
But here's the thing.
I would never like bank on that.
You could tape, you could just have that audio tape and give it to Sirius and they play
it and you'd make money off of not even having a special out there doing well.
Right.
You could just make money off your audio tips.
And they had content, a bunch of a shitload of 800 comics doing content.
so it was different.
But you got that check every quarter
that actually let you do something
or pay something that you needed to pay.
There's also definitely not 500 worth hearing
on the radio comedians in the country.
Well, that's the thing too.
Is that possible?
If you're looking at serious,
they're actually just making their product
as good as they can possibly make it.
If you look at it through their eyes,
like corporate Jacob, you're saying,
all right, let's just make this.
You love Xing people.
You love Nixon giving people the boot.
You want, the reason why they want famous people
because people like hearing famous comedians
because their jokes are fucking insane.
And then you got a bunch of other people that you don't know
and it may be an alright joke.
They're just condensing it
and making it the best product that can actually give out.
For sure.
I think there should be a, I said, upon the suggestion I heard,
was that, like start another channel.
Yeah, the B channel.
The B slot.
We should actually, we should start to C, B.
Well, I think this energy should be,
this energy should be put up there
to fucking bring back like raw comedy.
Bring back like the raw dog.
channel for sure you can bring back the wrong
you can always send jacob back up in the fucking do a little spacewalk
can I ask a question if they
no we're going to take a break we're going to take a break
