Starting point is 00:01:20 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.
Starting point is 00:01:35 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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,
Starting point is 00:02:12 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
Starting point is 00:02:30 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
Starting point is 00:02:43 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
Starting point is 00:02:51 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:42 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:40 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:34 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
Starting point is 00:05:53 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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.
Starting point is 00:06:25 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.
Starting point is 00:06:34 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:24 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:07 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:32 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:00 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.
Starting point is 00:09:11 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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?
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:09 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.
Starting point is 00:10:25 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
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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?
Starting point is 00:11:25 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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.
Starting point is 00:12:31 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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:01 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:14:54 Jacob Battott Yeah Why was HNIC Comedy programming Jacob Battaghy Pat Jake Pat Why were you the
Starting point is 00:15:06 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:05 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,
Starting point is 00:18:26 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?
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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.
Starting point is 00:19:26 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.
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:40 300 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
Starting point is 00:20:59 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
Starting point is 00:21:16 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?
Starting point is 00:21:29 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,
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:52 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,
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:14 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.
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 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.
Starting point is 00:23:09 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.
Starting point is 00:23:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 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?
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:21 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.
Starting point is 00:24:38 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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...
Starting point is 00:25:26 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:13 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.
Starting point is 00:26:32 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.
Starting point is 00:26:51 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.
Starting point is 00:27:02 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?
Starting point is 00:27:15 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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
Starting point is 00:28:26 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
Starting point is 00:28:38 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?
Starting point is 00:28:50 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.
Starting point is 00:29:07 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,
Starting point is 00:29:23 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?
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:52 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.
Starting point is 00:30:01 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?
Starting point is 00:30:11 He's back out. Guess what? Josh, gone. What? No, wait. He was already gone. Sorry. He was never on.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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?
Starting point is 00:30:33 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
Starting point is 00:30:52 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?
Starting point is 00:31:03 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.
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:52 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
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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
Starting point is 00:32:54 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
Starting point is 00:33:01 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
Starting point is 00:33:17 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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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
Starting point is 00:33:41 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.
Starting point is 00:33:50 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.
Starting point is 00:34:01 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.
Starting point is 00:34:12 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
Starting point is 00:34:23 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
Starting point is 00:34:33 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
Starting point is 00:34:43 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?
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:18 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:43 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.
Starting point is 00:35:59 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?
Starting point is 00:36:13 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?
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:46 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.
Starting point is 00:37:02 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 100% 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
Starting point is 00:37:51 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
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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.
Starting point is 00:38:26 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 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.
Starting point is 00:38:54 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.
Starting point is 00:39:06 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.
Starting point is 00:39:13 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.
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:55 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.

Starting point is 00:40:46 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
Starting point is 00:40:55 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
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:33 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.
Starting point is 00:41:42 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
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 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.
Starting point is 00:43:00 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?
Starting point is 00:43:12 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?
Starting point is 00:43:26 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.
Starting point is 00:43:42 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.
Starting point is 00:44:06 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?
Starting point is 00:44:23 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.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Skip or keep? Skip. You skip. Skip this. Oh, here we go. Marina. How you doing that? I will stop this offensive Italian accent.
Starting point is 00:44:54 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.
Starting point is 00:45:11 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?
Starting point is 00:45:31 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.
Starting point is 00:45:43 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.
Starting point is 00:46:02 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.
Starting point is 00:46:16 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:48 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?
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:13 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.
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:31 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,
Starting point is 00:47:43 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.
Starting point is 00:47:58 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.
Starting point is 00:48:20 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...
Starting point is 00:48:31 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

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.

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...

Starting point is 00:51:01 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.
Starting point is 00:51:13 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.
Starting point is 00:51:31 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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
Starting point is 00:52:02 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.
Starting point is 00:52:16 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.
Starting point is 00:52:36 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
Starting point is 00:52:50 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
Starting point is 00:53:01 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
Starting point is 00:53:18 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
Starting point is 00:53:48 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
Starting point is 00:54:04 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.
Starting point is 00:54:22 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,
Starting point is 00:54:40 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
Starting point is 00:54:55 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,
Starting point is 00:55:11 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.
Starting point is 00:55:51 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.
Starting point is 00:56:12 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.
Starting point is 00:56:32 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.
Starting point is 00:56:42 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.
Starting point is 00:57:00 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,
Starting point is 00:57:12 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,
Starting point is 00:57:21 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
Starting point is 00:57:28 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,
Starting point is 00:57:34 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
Starting point is 00:57:49 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.
Starting point is 00:57:59 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.
Starting point is 00:58:09 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.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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.
Starting point is 00:58:42 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.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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
Starting point is 00:59:20 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,
Starting point is 00:59:34 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.
Starting point is 00:59:47 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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
