      I cannot comprehend dropping out of like $20k/month for maybe four hours of work which is mostly just riffing with your chums

        I mean, Virgil and Brie were doing a whole new independent grift aimed directly at the beating heart of electoralists. Its got over 6k subscribers and brings in nearly $30k/mo. Had Virgil not gone out like a bad fart, I bet it would be doing even better now.

        And its not like the job is just riffing with your buds. You have to go out and get guests. And you have to do live shows, which means booking venues and dealing with agents and managing a fanbase that can get a bit gnarly.

        If Virgil was still with the show, you'd better believe he'd be getting "Why are you such a pedophile?" trolls heckling him at every opportunity. Dude didn't want to deal with that shit, so he bowed out. And we're still talking about it a year later. He's literally "the Pedo-Chapo" as far as his own fan base is concerned.
