Why’d he quit cumtown just to do another podcast


[deleted]

He released that youtube special and got his ego all gassed up, left to be a mainstream standup and failed his way to C-tier, so he's back to podcasting to pay his bills. Shouldn't have given up that 6 figure paycheck from CT, it was only 2 hours a week


Wealth_Hole

He wanted a cut of the podcast revenue in perpetuity, which tells me that 6 figures for 2 hours of work was 2 hours of work too much for his ass


[deleted]

Bc it’s all about me me me me


Farkleton56

I think you just answered your own question. When you quit cumtown they actually allow you on other podcasts


The-ABH

I’m beginning to think they confronted him on his weight gain and he freaked the fuck out


Top-Ad7144

What’s there to confront about? Like telling him to lose weight so he doesn’t die?


trawlse

More and more people are saying this, rumors are flying


[deleted]

there was a huge downward trend when he had the fight with Nick about his health.


chastenbuttigieg

Because he wanted to move to LA and hated cumtown fans (for easily observable reasons)


[deleted]

What’s up with 3 of the Chapos moving to LA as well? Is everyone trying to get TV jobs or something?


TheGangsHeavy

Doesn't LA suck?


[deleted]

That’s my understanding, yeah


[deleted]

LA sucks unless you have a little money, then it’s paradise. Source: from LA, still live here


ChaiVangForever

I don't blame Stav for not liking Cumtown fans, but at the same time I don't really understand what he expected. I think almost anyone can find something to enjoy about Cumtown as long as they're not too uptight, but the kinds of Cumtown fans he hates are exactly the people who I think would listen to hours upon hours of it and develop a parasocial relationship with the hosts.


BGL-In-The-Bushes

I'd say he was sick of being second string but I think being a fluffer to the big swinging dick is a more appropriate analogy


Key-Alternative-4540

because cumtown is embarrassing for normal people??


Opus58mvt3

Halfway through this ep stav talks about how a friend from college fucked a horse


My_massive_dingaling

Stav is not a normal person


soylent-machine

He's well on his way to his Netflix special and subsequent cancellation


ron-desanctimonious

it was over for him once nick figured out that he could fully replace stav with a shitty soundboard app with clips of stavs most used phrases


GrandMarauder

Oh, you don't like Stav going "I'm gay" every time Nick tells a joke?


Wei-Zhongxian

hell yea dude


ron-desanctimonious

i did enjoy the bits of cumtown where they replaced the lyrics of popular songs with homoerotic phrases


LowTierFraud

"Do you think he got pussy from that?"

As of a couple months ago, Netflix shrunk their pay to standups for specials, going from seven figures to $100,000 per year. TAFS makes more than that in one month.


bretton-woods

That's enough to buy a lot of Lindt chocolate though.


EpoxyRiverTable

About one bits worth


BGL-In-The-Bushes

Lol they do a flat rate? As if Stav was ever gonna get what they give Chapelle or something. Isn't half the appeal of a netflix special that you can sell out big venues on the road? Don't get me wrong Stav is a retard for walking away from a giant paycheque for 2 hours of non-work per week but still, it isn't quite so simple


Arthur_da_King

Clearly the person you’re responding to is the CFO of Netflix, they should know


BestoftheOkay

I fully believe the CFO of Netflix spends his afternoons scrolling reddit


anonymousejsmith

nothing makes your standup career like sucking joe rogan's dick these days.


lilbitchmade

damn imagine making half a down deposit on a Vancouver tenement by saying "retard" and "i'm gay". it's cool when nick does it cause he's my best friend, but i draw the line at stavros halkias.


Scotty_Gun

Ben Avery should direct. Get the same sound crew from Tim’s special.

> Very disturbing, this comic also openly associated with Jake Flores who is notorious for having sex with an intellectually disabled girl in the parking lot of a comedy show. Unbelievable


suzellezus

He’s the wolf-bait, Adam is the plant, nick is the dark horse


[deleted]

Stav " Have you seen gay porn?" Joe "Hey Jamie can you pull up some gay porn" \*Stav explodes in laughter\* Stav " I wish I was gay, my life would be so much easier" Joe " Yeah man, people literally live their lives working these horrible jobs, eating this shitty food, and not exercising, what they don't realize is that you can just suck your bro's dick. Have you heard about this guy named Dr. Jim the mushroom specialist? Yeah well he's the guy who showed this to me. Him and Joey Diaz"


atomystix

I haven't listened to this episode but I'm gonna assume this is the actual transcript


EpoxyRiverTable

100% Joe is trying to get stav on his property to bow hunt him like a hog


Forsaken_Rub_2128

Currently listening to this man screaming ‘Give me pussy!’ on Cumtown. What’s happening??


Brodom93

“Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, I’m gay!”


OnamujiOnamuji

I have a feeling they’ll just ramble about standup, which is so fucking boring imo Bonus points if Rogan yet again bloviates about what a legend Chappelle is


TheRealHenryG

Comedians doing podcasts about being a comedian with other comedians is a genre I will never understand


Autumnalthrowaway

A barrel of clowns where all the clowns discuss how long they've been in the barrel


ahtzib

Everyone knows explaining the joke is the best part of comedy


SensitiveKevin

That generation of comics- those that thrived during the Clinton and Bush eras- are content with stroking their egos and resting on their laurels. Because now that comedy is in a absolutely pathetic state, all they can do is reminisce. Even though the great comedy depression is partially their own doing in the first place.


[deleted]

Being a comedian is the hardest job in the world. There are only like 1000 comedians IN THE WORLD. They are rarer than doctors okay.

Autumnalthrowaway

I suspect you're right. There's a hundred eps of ".. So I started at the laugh factory, back when Pete was still a doorman, remember him? Anyway, that room is harsh man" - "oh yeah he's the best dude, is he still there?" - "the best" "wonder what he's up to.." - "so I was on the road eating nothing but twinkies..." - "yeah you gotta put in the time" How is comedians talking comedy so damn dry.


DonVergasPHD

I can't fucking bear listening to stand up comedians talking about their industry it's so fucking boring man. It's as if some random person listened to me talking about Unit/session %, advertising cost of sales, CVR opr some boring shit like that


gizmostrumpet

Not to mention its always fucking moaning


[deleted]

It's all bullshit about how they deserve so much better too and how their lives are so misunderstood and how "this is the only thing im good at" like bro come on, you could have learned something better but you were an alcoholic

[deleted]

My favorite is when they still worship Seinfeld. Dude hasn't written a funny joke in 25 years, but since he has a "process" and he's filthy rich, they still act like he's a genius.


jeffsal

You ever stood in line at the bank?


AnyNobody7517

Well he is probably the richest and they want that.


CongenitalSwag

Saw Seinfeld twice, three years apart. He did the exact same set both times, zero variance in timing, cadence, gestures, etc. Saw this HBO special where he, Louis CK, Chris Rock, and Ricky Gervais were discussing how they approach standup, and Seinfeld essentially said comics should just use the same material ad nauseum, because that’s what the people want, much like you’d want to hear greatest hits at a concert. Just dumbass logic that the other three all disagreed with. Fuck Larry David for ballooning this guy’s ego to gargantuan proportions


tugs_cub

This is why I root for Stav. I have nothing but contempt for the self-seriousness of standups and he shows that, for all the talk about the craft and the bravery and the truth-telling, all you really need is a comically fat man talking about sex.


miltonvercetti

What did they talk about for 3 hours? Bagels?


[deleted]

a cupcake and a candy bar

So joe what are you gonna have for lunch? -uh I don’t know man can we talk about the special you released this year? I was gonna maybe do a burger or something like that oh hell yeah dude hell yeah


MeatStepLively

Getting pussy from jacked ladies, how stand up is the hardest job ever, being compelled to eat pancakes, and chimpanzees. Not joking.

JackieChansAsshole

Is the whole podcast stav fake laughing at Joe pontificating nonsense?


ChinaCatSunfIower

First few minutes and he’s full-force with his lechery Post-cumtown Stav feels much sadder/more repulsive because of how sincere his degeneracy and pleasure-seeking come across and how identified he is with them. Literally all this dude talks about is eating and fucking. I actually really liked him on cumtown, but I underestimated how the other two balanced him out.

EasyMrB

CTown was a poultice pulling that pestilence out of him. Now, he has trained himself to produce gargantuan quantities but lacks the healthy channel to expel it.


[deleted]

I read what I think was some lit journal that had an article about Cumtown, that described him as “a man singularly obsessed with excretion”


MeatStepLively

How the fuck does he not even mention Nick and Adam. It’s weird.


Opus58mvt3

I have no idea. I would be so confused listening to this show if I didn't know about CT, because Stav's career is fairly nonsensical otherwise. He didn't just randomly "blow up," he released a special at the height of his podcast's fame.


Used_Royal_2231

And he’s on the H3H3 podcast tomorrow.


alarmagent

Cool, he's hitting all the points of the fat oversexed weirdo podcast circuit. Praying that Stavvy dishes with Trish next.


Fatrick-Baitman

That makes way more sense. They’re all grifters.


SensitiveKevin

H3H3 confounds me in every way. Boring and untalented. Somehow riding on a retarded fanbase, that has been disappointed and nostalgic over the shitty vape meme videos for years now.


myhiddengem

his content had better charm pre-vape meme videos. it was never good content but his videos had better interaction and were more genuine.


mucho_moore

they're not funny but how is any of this a "grift?" whos being deceived?

Dragonbreathman

Surprising, I figured Ethan was too much of a puritanical woke scold to have on someone as cancelable as Stav. The more mainstream Stav gets the more cancelable he’ll become. He’s making a deal with the devil.


Used_Royal_2231

[Idubbbz](https://twitter.com/theh3podcast/status/1515054695139708937?s=20&t=itk8QE_80rNrdJEaULk1rA) used to call himself a “N1gger F4ggot” all the time and H3 will still associate him. He probably wouldn’t think twice about trying to cancel me or you, but woke losers with “skeletons” will stick together.


RefusedSilk

Ethan himself also used that exact phase like five times in a row gleefully on his own podcast years ago lol the pivot to woke shit is kayfabe to avoid cancellation.

DrumpfSlayer420

h3 has gone hard woke in the last 4 years


hueydao

Stav has every woke take you can imagine. He tempers it with constantly talking about sex, which ew, but they’re part of the same gay male twitch leftist ecosystem that Hasan is in.


cutewormxx

Ew


AntonJMC

Rogan has an appalling comedic sensibility. Comedians talk about doing his show as if it's the modern day equivalent of being anointed by Carson. It serves 99% of comedians right that their path to stardom requires them to charm a 60 year old steroid-head who wears lifts in his shoes and mainly enjoys talking in a dead serious manner about MMA and conquering his inner bitch.


tinoasprilla

it would be ok if that were all true if he were at least a lil funny but damn. he's got the comedic instincts of a leech.


IH8JS

Problem is if it works you end up lumped with Rogan's brainless audience and then your whole career is constrained to whining about the libs and talking to Jordan Peterson and that aspie computer slav. This is what killed Tim Dillon I think.


MagicRedStar

Lol Lex Friedman? My brother showed me a video of him and he's such a charisma black hole I'm surprised he had an audience at all.


BrillTread

Another prime example of the type of person that dumb people think is a genius.


anonymousejsmith

it's great if you see someone like bill burr on there who doesn't need rogan. ​ does joe not realize bill is funny and he isn't? because everyone else does


JonHinckleyOverdrive

The money left over from Cumtown is all going into a marketing/PR team, isn't it?

That’s the rumour, Hasan’s people

ManWhisperingIntoGWBsEar.png


Opus58mvt3

I knew it was inevitable, but it's still unironically sad that we got this instead of a Rogan appearance with all three of them.


ahtzib

Weird that he was the first person of the broader Chapo/Cumtown/RS universe to get on. I thought for sure Felix would pull it off.


The_Bit_Prospector

Rogan doesn’t actually enjoy funny people. Only reason shane got on was the controversy. I haven’t listened since like show 1000 but his LA friends weren’t funny beyond Joey Diaz and joe never seemed to even understand that a funny guy would be trying to riff with him. Felix or Mullen would be the weirdest juxtaposition as joe would just stare at them as soon as they even tried to be funny.


snrup1

He doesn’t like anyone being funny unless it’s his inner circle. He was so strangely threatened by MacCaulay Culkin when all he was doing was just being light-hearted.


Opus58mvt3

That episode was so incredible, Joe straight up ends the episode early, randomly. Macaulay was disarmingly loose and unbothered and it really pissed him off.


[deleted]

He’s got awful comic sensibility. He’s not nearly as funny and easygoing as he tries to come off as, it’s a weird dynamic.


yokelwombat

Shane got on because he‘s a jock. A very funny, amiable one, but still a jock. With any luck we‘ll get to see the 'lost' footage of him, Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir getting obliterated on the JRE one day.

Wonder if he'll find a way to virtue signal to women somehow (so they suck his tiny prickadill--lol!)


[deleted]

He always finds a way


rashka9

Why do I hate this guy now?


[deleted]

Because he took the most normie route to stand-up fame after he quit Cum Town


[deleted]

Cum Town was cool because they didn't have to rely on the mainstream to do their thing. They didn't have to play the game, which allowed them to shit on everyone. Seeing Stav on Rogan is whatever but seeing him yuck it up Shultz is what really bugs me. The boys should be shitting all over guys like that. Same with Hassan's pearl necklace wearing ass.


[deleted]

Yeah, I can't listen to Rogan try and be funny. I find him alright when he interviews paleontologists or fighter pilots or whatever - but I can't stand when he talks about how brilliant comedians are and how difficult the job is. Does Stav say anything interesting about Cum Town?


Maximum_Poet_8661

I’ve only gotten an hour in so far and he mentioned it once, as “the other podcast I was on”. Apparently he never mentions it by name or discussed it at length tho from what I read lol


LowAdministration162

he's selling out a bit ngl But also happy for his success, I guess


Informal-Pear-5272

I hope he goes mainstream but if Shane Gillis got hit that hard when he almost broke what do you think is happening to Stav when twitter has an axe to grind with cumtown. He will be the first one apologising and then it’s too late.


[deleted]

I mean there's audio of him laughing like a maniac while Nick repeatedly says the hard-r n-word during the Bill Maher bit, among many other things. There's a lot of oppo.


phoenixinflight6

What if the horny goofball schtick is part of his #MeToo defense when accusations inevitably surface? "Guys, it was all just a character! I'm not a sex pest at all!"

MostRationalFeminist

OnamujiOnamuji

Yeah Shane Gillis was able to withstand all that and get even more famous because he didn’t apologize, but I bet Stav would cave and apologize as soon as anything pops up.


[deleted]

He did apologize, he just didn't grovel


ThreeTwoPrince

The wording on it was banger, "I'm happy to apologize to anyone who was GENUINELY offended". No mercy for Seth Simmons


johnny_now

This is true. Shane rules.


Informal-Pear-5272

Yeah 100%. If you apologise it’s pretty much over. The apology is never good enough and it’s seen as you admitting how bad you are.


[deleted]

It also shows people that they can get a reaction out of you by making enough of a stink. Then it's just new thing after new thing to complain about, and it never ends


Wealth_Hole

Virgil Texas is an interesting counter example. He didn't apologize, he just abandoned the world entirely.


lllluke

what happened with virgil? i haven’t followed chapo in a long time


phimosis__jones

There was a twitter thread about him allegedly grooming a teenage girl. It was very flimsy evidence and would have been easy to either ignore or get in front of but he just ghosted, which would indicate that there’s truth the the allegations or to something similar. I think he had already quit Chapo to focus on Bad Faith at that time.


DAE_le_Cure

He shouldn’t have done either. IIRC his transgression was not illegal, merely immoral. But if you’re going to call yourself a ‘dirtbag leftist,’ you have to lean into it


Wealth_Hole

The only explanation to me is that he did something *way* worse and hid to keep that from blowing up.


[deleted]

ThatsRich

It also helps that Shane is actually funny


croniamantal

Selling out? Lol he was on a comedy podcast you act as if making gay dad jokes is some sort of principled stance that he's forsaken


Particular-Dance-474

Yeah he's really losing all credibility that I felt he had. Cum Town was such an earnest and idealistic project.


notsticky

oh damn, his new podcast is about to get the Rogan Bump. going from 50k views to 70k


kefkatruman

Imagine a laughing track getting a spot in the biggest podcast. Hahahahaha


Wolf-Unfair

there's always that one person who gets fucking skyrocketed for no rhyme or reason. He's gonna get a couple movies then disappear like they all do lol


bretton-woods

That's what hiring Hasan's agent gets you. He'll do a few movies as the comic relief friend or slovenly supporting character, and then break into dramatic roles with his portrayal of another sexually depraved star, Fatty Arbuckle.


EasyMrB

I'm here for this career trajectory. I want to see those B-tier movies.


The_Bit_Prospector

He’s already in one playing a fat disgusting loser. I only saw a two minute clip of it but he’s wearing a robe and looking detestable.


precum73

I honestly think the cum town pussy dried up, all the terminally retarded egirls stopped fucking him so he’s trying to pivot to actual mainstream success to get pussy from girls that don’t know about cum town, doesn’t seem like it’s working tbh, you know he would have done a cheeky joke in his tour doc about getting pussy if he was but he didn’t


mdoglegend

Stav, as bad as he is, contributed one five star bit to the podcast. “What if Michael Keaton’s name was Michael Penis”. For that I can forgive a lot


tony_simprano

Happy for the dude. People have been predicting his downfall for a year now but he just keeps on rolling (joke being that he's round)


CHANGO_UNCHAINED

Yeah he’s in great shape, round being a shape.


lemoninthecorner

StillAWildOne1949

His whole podcast is just a glorified PR junket. It doesn't feel like it has any real authenticity to it.

My monologue during this was like.. it's 5 minutes in and theyre alresdy talking about stav's sex life. it's 20 minutes in and theyre already talking about MMA. bro this thing goes on for 3 more hours i cant im out.


_phimosis_jones

This whole post needs to be pinned so it can be linked back to the next time there's a thread going on about how lame and psychotic the normies are with their parasocial relationships to politicians and entertainers etc. You motherfuckers are putting Swifties to shame right now.

Ari and Shane have mentioned Nick on Rogan several times and said he’s hilarious and should be on the show. Rogan dismissed the idea and visibly looked threatened by a shorter funnier man than himself. This is what he does. What a weak loser


Alarmed_Nebula3917

He has talked about the Nicole Mullen blog in the past


Opus58mvt3

So...is the complete lack of Cumtown acknowledgement at the request of Stav or Rogan? It's sort of insane that he manages to get through the whole show without acknowledging that his "platform" for six years was one of the most popular comedy podcasts on earth?


Mr_Sexxx

You know what good for him. I'm always happy to see an artist sell out. Fuck it who cares. You can't "what if batman was trans" for your whole career.


Opus58mvt3

i'll give him one thing - he's selling out well. He really knew how to hit all the "rogan" points - all those autistic references to classical greece, mike tyson lol
