I think this is tacky as hell, but King Jew Ari said I HAVE to: These self produced specials are a financial experiment. If I can make my money back, the experiment worked and I can do it again for my next special. I get that not everybody’s in the same financial boat. So give me whatever you think this special is worth to you. Some of you are going to be able to afford 20 or 50 bucks. Others can only afford a dollar. If all of you gave just that 1 dollar in the Super Thanks, this will totally work. And if I make any extra I can finally afford the fingers for these gloves that I’ve wanted since I was a little boy.
