if I were already worth $20M, no, I wouldn’t do horrible things for $2M
but my net worth is negative because of my mortgage, and I still need to work to live. and let’s not talk about retirement.
look, I’m comfortable and fairly well off, I acknowledge that. but $2M would mean I would have retirement funded, a paid off home, and flexibility for work. $2M to Bill Burr doesn’t mean the same.
That being said, I’d like to believe “SMCF would own up to the horrible thing they did for 20$.” If I did the horrible thing, you’d expect me to own up to it. I’d like him to own the horrible thing too.
You can keep your 20$ secrets friend. I’m just saying if you openly compromise on standards you’ve set for yourself, you should at least be like “my bad but, I was going for the bag”.
I can respect that a little. Bill didn’t do that, he just hand waved it away. That’s why I don’t fuck with him anymore.
What?? It’s not like he needed the money. I’d give a pass to a struggling up-and-comer, but he’s got enough money to be able to hold to some principles without suffering hardship
Even you wouldn’t stoop to dancing around for such evil mfers though, would you? Seriously. Bill was already rich. He made a grotesque choice and then doubled down on it over and over since, telling his upset fan base to shut the fuck up about it. Fuck Bill. He never really deserved our support at all.
There’s the thing. If I had a couple mil in the bank, knew I could make another couple mil in the next year, and a piece of shit came up to me and said, “I’ll give you a couple mil to do one show,” it would be pretty easy to say no. It’s just a year’s income and isn’t going to change my life. If I was just getting by or even doing okay and some piece of shit offered me 1.5 mil, well, that could have me retiring in 5 or 10 years, being able to look for a job I’d be happier with, or any number of significantly life-changing things. Bill would had just had to wait a little longer to get this things.
All you people condemning Bill Burr like you all wouldn’t do horrible things for a million and a half bucks.
I’ve done unspeakable things for twenty dollars.
I’ll give you $22 to speak of them
$23, bob
$1. I think you’ve both gone over.

How do you think he made twenty million though?
A million and a half at a time.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it for the money.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it for $1.5 million, but I dont have $1.5 million.
If you were to pay me, IDK, $500 to go comedywash Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t.

If I am a random bloke? Yeah, maybe. If I am one of the most prominent comedians in the states? Nah.
Principles are rare. That doesn’t mean I won’t judge you for not having them.

Do tell
Counter offer to @WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world $21 but you can mime the things so the things remain unspeakable.
Just the act of miming the actions may cause us both to lose ourselves to madness.
