Can’t stand people like this. Like, if you know how bad it sucks, wouldn’t you want to help someone NOT go through that if you could?

I think people sometimes do this because they feel “the struggle” made them better… but personally I think it’s a way aholes convince themselves being selfish is ok but. Tf do I know.

literally one wrong make another wrong right dumb logic

It's the old weitz mentality of any hobby or thing you enjoy. Like cars any new car brought to a show that has old heads in it will automatically be talked trash about and openly mocked at the show even though you could have the most amount of people visiting your car it does not matter because it's not some 40 year old car that was restored to the Primitive technology that they had 60 + years ago😂😂

I ran my own building company and I Sacked a plasterer because he was treating an apprentice like shit, he was making him mix the plaster with bike cog welded to a bit of 4 inch steel pole even though there was a cordless drill with a proper mixing pole. The excuse the plasterer used was what if we can’t get power from anywhere he needs to know how to mix it by hand (only difference between mixing it by hand or with power is it takes longer by hand) and we didn’t have power tools when I did my time so why should they have them. You don’t want people like that working for you making a kids job harder just because that’s how he had to do it when he was training, it’s not the kids fault cordless drill weren’t around when his old ass was been trained.

Exactly. That's the market place at work. Not everyone is will support a guy with shoddy morals like Theo, so even if it's for selfish reasons only (retaining fans), Theo is incentivized to pay more. If a Walmart somehow found a way to pay their employees less than minimum wage, the market would force them not to because the bad PR would cost the company more money they they're saving. If it's true, Theo made a business decision and thought either he wouldn't get caught, or the money from openers he saved would be more than the hit he might take from bad PR.

Easily argued that openers could be paying the headliner just for the publicity and access to an audience 😂

But I'm on Soders side FYI lmao

💯💯💯

@@whatifdogwasoneofusDoesn’t Walmart instruct their employees to collect state or federal benefits because it refuses them 40 hours a week so they don’t have to? They’re scumbags just like Theo and they don’t care because they ran all the other stores out of business. Free market capitalism is a joke and always has been.

@@469shayne exposure is a factor to be considered but ultimately the OG critic was highlighting how the greed of the action is a POS move.

Absolutely. Luis is such a knowledgeable and selfless guy and literally just wants to see other comics succeed and it doesn't matter if they end up becoming more famous than him such as Shane Gillis. It's crazy , even though I do understand a lil bit, that so many comics refuse to associate themselves with him and even the other Skanks and the most common excuse I hear is because of how unfiltered they are but the fact so many ppl can't look past that and they always dismiss how much he truly cares about the entire comedy scene.

Luis gives everyone a platform because he wants to leech off of them. Luis isn't important at all. He just wants to take advantage of anyone he can and make money off of them while not paying his employees for doing their job. If Luis died tomorrow, nothing negative would come of it. LOS would end, which it probably should have years ago...and Big Jay would go on to do another podcast with people who are actually funny.

You gotta buy the tickets from the venue The comedian is going to be at or go directly to that comedians website to buy tickets. I’ve seen Bill Burr, Nate Bargatze, Jim Norton, and a few more, the only one that cost $100 was Jim Norton but I bought those tickets through Ticketmaster. Most of them charge $80 and maybe $100 at the most. If you buy from Ticketmaster or any third party website selling the tickets they jack up the prices like crazy. Shane Gillis was talking about it on a recent podcast, he charges the least he can, I think it’s like $80 at the most and people were paying over $350 on Ticketmaster. Like I said you gotta go to the comedians website or the venue they’re going to be at to busy the tickets. But there are some comedians that do charge ridiculous prices.

Ari posted in this thread that he was paid extremely well.

I mean to hear how poor he was growing up, could you blame him?

He spent all that money on coke before he was famous. Money isn’t an issue, it’s an escape.

Some people who grew up poor learn that money is precious, and they continue to be very careful with it , no matter how much of it they have

Yea true BUT all the more reason to guard / protect the money you’ve been able to make for fear of becoming poor again. If this is true then I’ll be commenting on his next episode what a POS he is - makes Zero Logical sense to be that stingey

U gotta accept reality bro sometimes the comedian u like more is actually shittier of a person then u would expect

Theo does seem like he gets weird about money. Back when he was on KATS he was always complaining about how much Brendan spent on production and paying people to work and be on the show.

@@WillyKillya I guess thats a 100$ story

They’re filthy rich. They all own multiple mansions, but most keep it a secret to not make their fans feel weird.

@@angelgjr1999 Um, I mean, that depends a bit more on location and what one would constitute a "mansion". Some places are relatively dirt cheap whereas others are ludicrous - a place with no life could offer a truly idealistic mansion in every sense of the word for ~300K vs a basic af 2 room townhouse could cost 600K+ in a thriving area lol Tho idk what standups you're thinking of, given multiple homes is still the exception for that branch of career. The ones who can fly themselves or others private at whim likely have at least one really nice house with good acreage even in expensive neighborhoods. Most likely they also have 1-3 smaller places they frequent often for work, eg condos in LA or NYC. 100% not cheap stuff, but idk where "multiple mansions" could be feasible unless it's someone like Rogan or Whitney whose wealth isn't from their standup.

people who hate money

Depends on the venue and whatever service they use to sell the tickets. Service fees usually cost $20+ extra, and there are taxes as well. Generally, Arenas will start $100 even in less optimal seats, centers $40, and clubs have the most flexibility and could even be free. Some services also fluctuate the prices depending on the current interest and time until the event, and it's one reason the more decent standups (ethics) insist fans join their mailing list so they're able to get the prices the headliner is charging; presale is far cheaper. And there are always scrappers, albeit trickier depending where, who upsell always lol

100 dollars wouldn’t get me out of bed, let alone working for a multi millionaire comedian as his opening act…

Wow 😮

Link it

That's not true for most stand up comedians. 90% of the time they call up the other comedian and ask them if they can open for them and pay them in cash that night. This isn't corporate.

Et cetera

And most likely the opener is better. That’s what happened when I saw Theo, his on stage comedy is below mediocre.

You might be paying to see Theo, but Theo is asking someone to work for him to begin the show. So Theo (Or any other comic) should be paying their employee a fair salary. Being a comedian isn't like working a blue collar job where you would say $100 for an hour of work is a great deal. Comics base their jobs around filling seats and ticket sales. So when you have a place that seats 500 people or 1000 people and you're asking them to pay $100 for that ticket, it shouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to pay your employee a % of your net profit for the night. You obviously don't need to pay the guy 50% of what you made that night, but even 5% of the ticket sales would be $2500-5000 bucks. So if a guy is getting $100 bucks instead ? You aren't even paying the guy enough to cover his flight or his gas money to get to the job. That's bull.

@@aSinisterKiid He's giving him exposure to an audience that otherwise would have never heard of him. That is a perk. 100$ for an hour of work is great. Some people dont make 100 dollars in 8hrs, so I dont see the argument there. He's also and adult and can say no, but he obcviously saw the benefit of taking the gig. Comedians are overpaid for there "job" to begin with. So are actors, athletes, and most white collar workers. Put your name as the headliner and see if you fill 100 seats let alone 1000

@@jonathanhardy7968 Exposure doesn't fill your gas tank up or put food in your stomach. Exposure is a secondary benefit to doing a job and is never meant to be a form of payment to get around literally paying people money. It's a predatory tactic used by a person in a position of power to weasel their way out of paying someone actual money to come work for them. And you can't compare stand up to working a regular job where you get paid by the hour. Being a comedian is based around ticket sales and selling seats. So no, $100 is not great when the 500 seats in that building go for $100 each. Stop coming up with excuses to justify being cheap and remember that YOU wouldn't want to be treated like that, so don't accept it happening to someone else.

Thats life your describing bud

You also travel (usually paid for) and you're away for like a weekend. So you can leave making like $500 for a weekend, which isn't bad. But when the main guy is making 100s of thousands it's a bit insulting.
