haha, yeah I often will try to time my donations to not interrupt the important parts of the show, but it doesn't always work by the time it gets seen. Sorry not sorry.
i know this is slap, so you’re going to read this as me talking shit, but i want you to take this as the sincere question that it is - why on earth do you donate a significant amount of money to the nine club? like why them? of all places to give money, why them?
It's a fair question. My reply to "of all places" that it's not the _only_ place and not even the most important place.
The simplest reason is that it's my favorite show and that I can afford to. It's my favorite show for a lot of reasons -- of which I don't think people outside of the "Ol' Buddy" community grasp (or care about) when they're just watching or listening non-live and not in the chat or aware of all the inside jokes, creating content for it, etc.
I tried to go into more detail on OG_Sk8Cho's podcast recently, but only covered part of it. I'll probably go into more detail when I go back on in the future since I get asked a lot and people have a few misconceptions. I get why some people don't understand it, though. I grew up with parents without money, and even as an adult I didn't start really making any until I was 30.
The best thing I can say is try kiva.org. That's where I started, by giving a $25 microloan to people in need, and when they pay it back in a month or whenever, you relend the same money to someone else. Eventually you might find you like giving and supporting people and do it more. I'm also a dog lover, so donating to shelters and the like is always nice. Sometimes a few bucks is all that's standing between a dog getting put down or kept longer until it's adopted, etc.
Giving isn't fully selfless, it feels good and it's also a bonus that they shout me out sometimes. It's a win/win. I'm down for free speech and people can have whatever opinions they want, even negative. I just kinda grew out of that when I realized it wasn't win/win and I no longer saw the point, for myself.
Anyway this is the best way I can currently think to answer it. I'm sure some people still won't like it. Nothing I can do about that!
