 It's so stupid. It's positive liberal This You are so right, man. I want to I want to talk about something real quick a cool This has been a pretty cool week for me, but um that goes along with that perfectly reality will always prevail and I Basically, I I just signed a deal for my first network stand-up special big dick show see building I why sign I can't say the company that is releasing it. I can say the production company I partner up with it on it and Combi dynamics, but I'll tell the story. I told a longer version of the story on on Flagrant to you guys to check out if you want to hear the whole thing But basically what happened is long story short is when I was releasing views from the system. I last special I was in LA a week before and I tell this story just because I think it's important to understand your worth, right? And it's like a week before I'm about to release it We get a call from this production company called Combi dynamics and they're like hey We want to talk to you we'd like to potentially release your special now before that nobody wants to release it all right I sit down like I'm about to release on YouTube and they go don't release it We'll make you an offer and I go okay. It's got to be a million dollars, right? Now nobody else wanted it, but I put the value at a million dollars Now they go I don't I don't know about that, but I think we think you're great I said that's not totally a release on YouTube, you know theaters Tours start to happen. I have a lot of success everything's great Don't don't be humble with this shit. Oh, you got hot fucker All right, the YouTube numbers went up you started selling out arenas all over the motherfucking place You started putting your shit on Instagram. You got I got I got out there So I go do this shit was good I go do this festival called just for laughs that come back. It's good We get a call from Netflix Netflix goes Hey We want to give Andrew Schultz a slot in this show called the degenerates where I do 15 minutes with a bunch of other Comics also do 15 minutes Don El didn't did it you know and a few other people are focused on it I wouldn't do that for you. The way I looked at it was this I go I go I put my stuff out for free on Twitter and Instagram and YouTube like I got nothing I got nothing wrong with taking 25 grand for I think they're often 25 gram 15 minutes So we're like, well, I'm interested in it. You know like The next day we get a call from comedy dynamics that other production company They say hey, what's Andrew up to you know, we heard JFL is really good What's Andrew up to my agent TJ shots of TJ was really smart He goes he just got an offer from Netflix. He don't say it was for He goes we got an offer in Netflix. So they go don't sign anything. Let us make him an offer We'll hit we'll hit you up in a second We go back to Netflix trying to stall So we basically ask them for a bunch of things. We know that they're not gonna give us, right? Can Andrew be the first episode can he have his face on the thing? Can they have all this kind of shit like that? We know, you know how the fucking bureaucracy is they? I got to go ask a million people. We have a couple days Comedy dynamics comes back with a contract my agent sits me down. He's so fucking excited. He sits me down He goes here it is check it out. I look at the contract the contract is for the next special That's for a million dollars For you for me. Okay. I go. This is fucking unbelievable but it's a shame we're gonna have to say no and He literally had a heart attack. He was like, what do you mean? Like we just got it We I was like, well, that's how much the last special is for Things have changed now my dick is bigger the dick grew they grew baby the dick grew is that all you this summer dick? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got summer dick. Hey, bro. Hey, it's all me Damn that look big as hell So So I say I say we gotta say no, what do you talk? What's that? I go it's principle It's like I don't for me. It's never about the money I've been giving myself away for free and I'll give it away for free in a fucking heartbreak on YouTube So you got to tell him no. He goes, I can't believe I'm doing this. So we go back. We say no We get the call back a couple days later and You know the price went up So who's it with? Comedy dynamics of the production company and and then we It's not it's not a network, but it's a so it's a product that makes it No, no, no, that makes it and then we sold it to a network that I can't say yet But you guys will know the new in the future and I gave a hint some people might forget it I can't legally say anything right now, but I gave a little bit of a hint but point is is it Like for a while I gave away all my content for free and I think what happens a lot of times like You're in this business too, so it would give away so much for free But just because you give some away doesn't mean it's valueless, you know, it's to give a crack away You get crack away to let the fiends know like yo motherfuckers got that good-ass dope over there And when it's time to hit them over the head, that's it now Hit them over the head. There it is. He'll take a little $10 bump room. Oh, shit Yeah, and you come back with crackheads. They spend in three or $400 like that's just the that's the nation That's the game out a little free product every now and then so I think they'd be in front of the market Little samples of cakes and shit. Yeah So it's one of those things where I was like this was pretty cool and then we just had to decide where we're gonna do the special so I want to do it in LA and I thought it'd be really cool because I As the Hollywood, you know matrix is kind of crumbling This becomes one of the first if not the first special where it's like completely people driven It's like the entertainment revolution where now you got to have your fan base and your fan base is gonna bring you on top Like the people listening watching all these Podcasts and clips and everything like that. They literally got this deal sign And they love you in a different way because you've built this coat like following from the ground up these motherfuckers have been They built it. It's a brilliant idiots for years. You know I mean watching guide code like Yo motherfuckers that probably is different you six seven years ago and they like that's our guy that's bro and and When you win is their win and I never understood this Duvall would always post about he's a yo my win is your win and I didn't understand it. We released the tickets for the special tapings We're taping April 11th in LA and I gave a pre-sale code and the pre-sale code was gonna be available Tuesday Wednesday Thursday This comes out Thursday today, and I just wanted to be for flagrant to brilliant idiots And then anybody follows me on Instagram YouTube so they would know about it We're doing the Orpheum Theater in LA. That's the theater Dolomite Shot at you know the one of the final scene And I'm doing it for that reason because I love everything that he represented he fucking went to the people What is it April 11th? I'll be there. I would love you to put that on the count and That we released the tickets pre-sale and they sold out in 12 hours both shows Wow This is a massive theater. Wow. I could not fucking believe like I was like crying on the street like a bitch But like a bitch outside of this restaurant that I was you crying like a fucking man You're crying like a man. It was crying like a man who put the motherfucking work in and now that work is paying off So the crazy thing about reality, right?

I cannot wait It's a different It's a different fucking feeling man I'm like hungry for it because I know it's something that we all built and it's like when you put the bricks together You know for your own house. It's different. You're not shooting from a place of difference You're shooting from a place of offense. This is what we're doing. We dictated this now. You got now You got to defend what you built.
