Andrew Schulz had a special that he sold to Netflix was supposed to be out already, then Netflix were going to cut a bit of material out to keep it safe, Schulz went nah * that, bought it back off Netflix and released it as a PPV.

Dude gambled on himself, like took a huge gamble.

Paid off though, he made 3X more then he would have if he kept it on Netflix.

Lots more comedians are doing stuff like that. The gatekeepers are dying.

So good for comedy.

Weird to hear Netflix called a "dying gatekeeper" when not that long ago it was a disruptive new kid on the block.

So I was serving a customer today and right in the middle of it a random Asian lady comes and interrupts me asking “Vietnamese? Vietnamese?”

I shake my head and my customers pissed themselves when she left Omfg.

Their shares took a massive hit after airing cuties and other streaming services started popping up.

Just back to comedy though, Tom Sugura and Christina P kind of kicked off the PPV thing with ‘your moms house’. Now comedians can engage their audience directly because they all have podcasts to promote each other, they literally don’t need a third party anymore.

how did you know she was asian?

 

[Ligma]

Because she is Asian passing and so am I

ah but here is where it gets confusing in todays society, she may not identify as being asian!

just like one of our jack russell terriors identifies as a german sheppard.

or this random dude identifies as broccoli,

Bunnings sausage sizzle has gone up in price. $3.50 for a snag now. I noted this morning the butcher next door is selling them for $2.00 - will Bunnings beat it by 10%?

I thought all the money for those snags goes to the people cooking them, trying to raise money for whatever cause.

It does - every cent - its just a joke.

It’s like when I ask the customer if they want a plastic bag for 15cents

The 15 cents goes to charity

Didn’t know that. I thought it was just to try and get people to stop using plastic bags.

Yes it goes to our community fund which is over 60 charities otherwise just bring a reusable bag.

Team members also get audited of how many bags they sell.

I think the customer outrage is dumb

 

[blackshadow]

He looks a rather tasty one. This time I'll head North instead.

There's a tale they won't believe!

The dude at my local milk bar is always trying to give me a plastic bag. Like even if I buy a can of soft drink he’ll grab a plastic bag and a straw and I need pretty firm with him that I don’t want them. He looks at me weird lol.

Thats great - should publicise that more.

They really should. Most people think it’s to raise profits

Yeah but the entire thing is run very tightly by Bunnings. I've done a couple for the kids' pre-school, before the plague came, they have strict rules about everything. I think we supply the bread, that is it, but possibly not even that. Maybe cans of drink too. Its Bunnings gear, tent, cooker, tables, sausages and onions and a few other things.

Its handy tho cos you basically turn up first thing in the morning and everything is ready and mostly set up.

We used to do egg and bacon rolls outside the hardware in Nimbin years ago now and that meant we bought and set up everything ourselves, including bringing the barbie from the footy club. Its about three times the work.
