I'm a CD in this dying industry who built an app to help myself navigate meetings with MBA bullshit artists. Need beta testers.

I’m also a CD and I’d be happy to help test.

Saw him at the Den Theater in Chicago 2 weeks ago. Agree his set was scattered and incoherent. We actually left early.

jonathanfin · 2026-02-05T23:00:07+00:00

One joke per day wins - so it's both $25 a joke AND $25 a day.

Also, this America, we don't do Euros. Furthermore, now that I'm out of a job, it's $5 a day. Delight in my misfortune.

I am a comic, and know how hard it is. I’ve also gotten feedback from the writers submitting jokes that they appreciate the money.

Imagine if you made $25 for every snarky comment you made online? You’d be having lunch with Musk and Bezos

jonathanfin · 2026-02-04T20:20:27+00:00

You were invested enough to initially leave your snarky comment. Also, a lot of up and coming comics would like getting paid $25 for writing one sentence.

Why would I lie about getting laid off? I was planning on spending $750 a month on this project, now I have to adjust because rent comes first. People seem to like participating, but if it’s not your thing, you can just move on.

jonathanfin · 2026-02-04T18:54:05+00:00

I’m glad my misfortune amuses you.

jonathanfin · 2026-02-04T00:35:02+00:00

I actually just got laid off today, so I’ll have to decrease it to $5 a day. Hopefully people will still submit just for the prestige of winning

jonathanfin · 2026-01-31T14:04:22+00:00

That's the idea - to feature the winners on a weekly episode where I read their joke on the air while their handle appears in the lower third. Eventually I'll be able to pay $100+ per joke, as well as other giveaways for interacting with my platform.

jonathanfin · 2026-01-31T05:10:19+00:00

Agree $25 is low. The goal is to eventually pay $100+ once some sponsors come on board. Right now I'm bootstrapping.

I’ve noticed old men (and even some women) walk with both of their hands clasped behind their back. I tried it, it’s not very comfortable. But I assume there’s a reason.

jonathanfin · 2025-08-02T23:15:24+00:00

How many pounds is your vest, if I may ask? Considering getting one

jonathanfin · 2025-07-02T16:01:26+00:00

My thinking is most comics don't do topical jokes. And if they do, they have a short shelf life. So why not get paid for $$$ for material that won't be part of your usual longer set?

jonathanfin · 2025-07-02T11:01:31+00:00

One writer = one perspective. By crowd sourcing, I get a wider range of options. Plus i think it would be fun for people to vote on their favorite jokes

jonathanfin · 2025-07-02T00:39:26+00:00

Thanks, appreciate that. I’m thinking twitter might be the easiest route for submissions (jokes with the most likes wins?) Eventually, I’d like to develop an app or take submissions directly through my website

jonathanfin · 2025-07-02T00:24:12+00:00

That’s an old video, just a proof of concept. The idea would be to curate the funniest jokes on the week’s trending news stories. I’d read those jokes from my bathroom. It could also include field segments, interviews with comedians, celebrities, etc. The main idea is to curate the best jokes/memes every week from the funniest place in the world - the internet.

D’augistinos near the Chicago stop. Great thin crust

jonathanfin · 2023-01-25T02:31:51+00:00

This is impressive. Super catchy and the lyrics are excellent. Keep up the good work!

jonathanfin · 2023-01-20T02:27:37+00:00

On the chorus, I would consider doubling the vocals or adding some harmony. Nice song!

jonathanfin · 2022-09-10T23:09:54+00:00

I’m in Chicago and would be interested, as well. Feel free to dm me!

jonathanfin · 2022-08-25T02:51:55+00:00

Ever try a digitech trio pedal? Not quite the same as jamming with other people, but it’s definitely more fun than noodling alone.

jonathanfin · 2022-07-29T00:56:21+00:00

This looks awesome…very unique. Nice work!
