Yes Kevin's "exit'" from the show. Wild guys

Deane

I’m afraid to even listen FFS

Shane Holtman

Noooooooo. I love Kevin! Hope it’s a, “he got fired and died thing.”

Braydon Addison

Haven't listened yet, but I'm sorry guys, no Kevin no Patreon for me. I'll maybe give the free a listen once in a while.

Jason Johnson

I’m guessing this will be the last episode I listen to. Kevin was always willing to do whatever it took for the show. Firing him is a mistake.

Rusto Chango

That's too bad. See ya later Kevin. I feel like I lost a homie, a little bit. One of my Tuesday and Wednesday drive to/from work homies. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. Sounds like Jason was more bummed out he couldn't bang 5 people at the same time. Get it? Bummed out? Hahahaha

Solidus 3000

Yeah, been a good decade+ peace out bro, shoulda got rid of Tully, he's the one that can't shut up and give anyone, even you Ellis, a chance to speak...usually

Brandi H

Wow, Kevin was such a great guy and a necessary piece of the show in my opinion. This really sucks.

Ricky Spanish

Anyone in business knows that you have to cut your weakest link when things are rough, and sorry but Kevin was the weakest link. You don't have to agree with anyone, but I happen to share Jason's opinion on this, if he had to make a cut he made the only cut that makes sense. I didn't know who the others were when I came aboard, it was Jason that brought me here.

Newfie

Not a smart idea letting Kevin go. But you guys have made your bed and you'll have to lie in it, won't be a fun

Matt Vallee

It should have been Tully. This is a mistake. Canary in the coal mine for the show. Hasn’t been consistently entertaining in a long time, I mainly listen out of habit. Kevin was the best part.

Mike Morfoot

Sucks!!!! Coolbeans was always down to do all the crazy shit and is hilarious. Think it was a rash n wrong decision but the beans will rise !

Ryan Meagher

Wow, what a great first Ellis Mania this will be for me in April 🙄

Braydon Addison

Agreed on the out of habit part. MSPH still kicks ass for the most part, give him support.

Matt Vallee

Been a top tier MSPH patron for years, going to be increasing the donation!

Mike

Ellis is self destructive, stooopid move. Just pumped my MSPH from 5-$10

Justin Bowen

Team, I followed your show for 16 years. I hated it when Rawdog left, but I stuck around, and you found Kevin, who was even better. What I've realized over the years is that you thrive when surrounded by the right people, so cutting out 1/3 of the pie is a terrible idea. I'm out. Thanks for all the laughs over the years.

Brian Rhea

I'm paid up until the end of January. Will see how this goes but not at all happy about this. You are losing money so you fire a guy that definitely was some of the reasons why people are paying for Patreon. Hell I think he was the one that introduced Jason and Tully to Patreon...

b0nes

Terrible decision to get rid of Kevin… The show has always been great because of the dynamic the 3 of you have. I’m hopefully there’s a way you can figure something out because this isn’t it guys.

PsykoLogikal

I feel the same fucking way. Like hotels and tickets I'm over 1500 already and still have to fly from Ontario canada

MattyB

Well they got 4 new patrons since this episode dropped. Maybe they made the right call! 🤣

John Kelley

Will tully go on msph with the boys

Scott

I am confident that we all will survive.

Justin Bowen

It's not subtracting subscribers in real-time. We won't know for a month how many they lost after people's renewals fail to re-up.

MattyB

I know. Just stirring the pot. I haven't listened yet but my gut tells me that I hate this move from them.

Jeremiah Schadler

Listened to MSPH Kevin talks a little bit about the business side. Sounds like new company taking a big cut. Jason maybe should have gone independent.

Paul Coombs

The show definitely isn't as good as it once was. I don't listen as much as I used to, but cutting out Kevin is definitely pushing me further away. Ellis burns every relationship he has one way or another it seems

Dallas

Listened for over 15 years. Since Octane. No Kevin. No Patreon. I’ll sign up for his. Tully should go to his as well.

EmVee

Jason you’re a piece of shit.. Have fun losing subscribers!

Scott

Cool down bud.

Paul Coombs

I think this is a fatal blow to the show. It may have less then a year left

EmVee

I’m cool. Jason thinks of nobody but himself. He’s always been that way. Stupid business moves should fall on him, not on someone who has had his back for years.

Travisty Music

What a bunch of fair-weather fans in here. Sucks about Kevin, I like him, but it's called The Jason Ellis Show for a reason. His show to run how he chooses. Shame on ya'll turncoats.

EmVee

he talks about “I don’t know where i would live” boohoo mother fucker, look at his house

Dallas

He had to get that pool.

EmVee

yeah, exactly. they talk about “tough times call for tough decisions” fuck that! Where does actually live? Jason has a fuckin golf cart on dubs and he’s firing people that make the show what it is. Fuck him

MattyB

6 new patrons

Matt K

I love Kevin but he was a downer. Always ended up complaining about his tits.

Dan

Gotta say I’ve been listening for over 16 years and this might be the last straw for me, see y’all on the MSPH Patreon

Anti-Cannoli Mike

The ten dollar tier is worth it. Tons of content

Anthony Spencer

Anyone know where to get the Sirius Ellis show episodes? I miss the show actually being good

Slater McLaughlin

Can't help but think this all could have been avoided if Jason had the financial and budgetary skills that Tully and Kraft have. All those fancy outdoor toys, vacations and extra money on delivery food add up. I love to hear about Jason living the good life, but I don't love hearing him complain about money being tight while also having a decent idea of what he spends it on.

Anti-Cannoli Mike

Just like he can run the show as he chooses, we can all spend our money as we choose. You can support someone who constantly drops people from his show and blames everyone else’s for its slow downward spiral, we don’t have to. I personally think Kevin and MSPH are better than The Ellis show, and it really isn’t even close. I have a set amount of entertainment funds, I’m choosing to give them to the guy who got fucked over rather than the narcissist.

Chad Allen

Been a listener since 2009. I LOVE THE SHOW. I love Kevin. He is crucial to the cast. I've followed the show everywhere it's gone and I've been loyal. I think I'm out.

Anti-Cannoli Mike

Couldn’t listen to more than five minutes of this. Kevin didn’t bring anything to the table? Like what? Fake news from tiktok? Stories about his adventures with celebrities? Mumbling weed filled solo “shows” twice a week? Hell, you shot his nutsack with a salt gun. Tf is wrong with you? If you had been smart, you would have actually mined Kevin’s talent instead of ignoring it. His Patreon content is fun and exciting, not stale and reliant on Tully to drive the show with news stories. Good luck Tully, I hope you have an exit strategy because you’re the last one left around for Jason to blame the show’s failure on. Cancelling my sub early, I’m paid through the month but fuck y’all, I’m not interested in this show anymore.

Mark

Oh shit I'm not going but I didn't even think about that. 🤦🏼 this is even worse now.

Mark

Not a chance this show will survive dude.

Gregory McMorrow

Real sorry that Jason and Tully have to go through this. Sucks. Sorry for Kevin losing his job. Sucks. Sorry for the fans that are losing a member of the team. Sucks. That being said, I have to admit that more than once in the last few months I would have preferred Kevin NOT be part of the show with what he brought to the table. Sure, there were laughs and he seemed up for anything but, damn, there was a lot of bitching and whining and attitude about things. Hope the audience picks up. Hope Ellis and Tully find so much success that we get full time Wills News! This show is way too entertaining and has been a must listen to for over 14 years. Loved the podcast move, hope more fans find it and support it.

Newfie

Watch MSPH (mad scientest party hour, for those who don't know). Kevin's side of things.....

Capt.Power

This is Wolfknife: Ben Meover I first stumbled across the Ellis Show in 2011 as I turned the Sirius dial to the Faction station while working from home. I was a Howard fan but wanted to see what else what out there. Two reasons the Ellis show instantly stuck out to me: the show breaks with actual, staff-picked music (no commercials), and the chemistry between Ellis, Tully Will, Rawdog... eventually Kevin and whatever intern they had at the time. I knew eventually the music would get replaced with commercials but it was the chemistry between everybody that made the show work. It sucked when Rawdog left but I was mostly on the show's side. We were fucking LUCKY to have Kevin literally right there to step up in Rawdog's place seamlessly, but we soon found out he also made the show much better. Truth is, it was kinda over when Sirus got rid of the show. Will and Rude Jude were a major reason a lot of my friends listened, (not just Will and Jude... again going back to the chemistry thing). We've all felt the decline as much as it sucks to admit (at least I have), but over the years this show has brought all of us so much laughter, insight and inspiration that I think most of us are still holding on... waiting for everyone to come back. This just wont happen. Sidenote: To me, the all-time best era of the show was the years around Fart-Gate. So many funny things were happening on the show those few years and it was really very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you very much for that. No matter what happens nobody can take away the enjoyment this show has already brought to me. I'll stay a sub but we'll see what happens. Sincerely, Wolfknife Ben Meover (Can I get a Wolfknife name redo?)

rc

Dumping whining bitch ass Jason with his cycle of poor me I'm depressed... no wait now I'm happy... now I'm sad again that I have to "work " 3 hours a week. And Tully isn't nearly as smart or witty as he thinks, just a normal douche from Jersey.

rc

There's a reason why no one subs to " Awesome world" or didn't buy that piece of shit book. You ain't interesting on your own.

Newfie

KraferGeoff is a pro-cannoli podcast

Salas

They broke Kevin’s fucking thumb with that mlb pitcher. And it doesn’t look like it’ll heal back to 100%, and this is the thanks Kevin gets.

Salas

The cycle of bad financial decisions is coming back around to bite him in the ass. Remember he’d drive from Temecula to LA for the radio show? When he could’ve just bought a house in LA since way back then. Then the endless list of piece of shit cars Jason buys to look “cool”, rather than getting one reliable one.

M Van

I think when you take this down to bare-bones, the show just isn’t good anymore, even with Kevin being there. I think most of us have been hanging on because of the loyalty of listening for so long, but it really isn’t that good anymore, and listening to a guy complain about his life and his money problems constantly. At the same time, he’s also living an extravagant lifestyle (compared to the listeners) and paying ten grand a month for a house. It doesn’t make you feel sorry for him.

M Van

The hermosa beach place was $10,000 a month and I think is now renting for 13,000 that's why they moved

Michael Gorman

This is a huge disappointment. I had been the top tier here even though I don't watch the video or watch live, and def don't listen to awesome world. The group together are why this works. I will still listen, but I have to speak with my wallet, so I've dropped to the 5 dollar audio tier. My advice, stop spending every last cent you have trying to fill whatever void you're traumatic life events have created. Then these ups and downs wouldn't be the end of the world every few years.

PsykoLogikal

I mean I might know. Email me psykologikalmdk@gmail.com

Death Gadget

So cause you can't budget your own money you fired Kevin well your show was good while it lasted piece out homes go f*** yourself no wonder you're a hemorrhaging listeners

Death Gadget

Are you gonna ever man up jason and take responsibility for your show losing listeners, first it's rawdog, then andrew, and now Kevin. Shit you even chased tully away at a point. You blame everyone but your self, Kevin does more then you. Grow up, man up, and learn to live within your means, and don't give some garbage company 20,000 a month. All the shit the shows been dragged through is caused by you, not Kevin or tully.

terpiana jones

I’ve been a listener since 2006 & always loved/supported the show. The last 5yrs or so the show has headed in a different direction & recently I’ve felt like I didn’t want to be a part of it or support it anymore. At this point it seems like the show is on its way out. I canceled my patreon before Kevin was let go & it had nothing to do with Kevin. I’m leaving because of the show & Jason Ellis

Kiel Pilkington

All I can say is how disappointed I am over this mistake

Kiel Pilkington

100% I knew Jason was blowing his money on stupid stuff. He just doesn't learn and it's sad since he has Katie there just watching this all happen

Vincent Murillo

Hey what’s up Jason I know you going through a hard time about what happened but to be honest it’s business there’s no friends and business it’s all about supporting you and your family and I comes first if he can’t see that or can’t understand that that’s not your fault keep doing what you’re doing you have goals so if he doesn’t see that that’s his fault we support you you’re a hell of a dude so keep doing what you’re doing

Vincent Murillo

And just one more thing man you need to stop with the text messages it’s just no one on there and saying anything good so that’s my honest opinion you don’t need to hear what other people are saying or care what people think just do you and it’s your show so that’s about it

Kiel Pilkington

Yah keep spending tens of thousands of dollars on your kids and close to 100k getting stem cells and wasting time skating when you could've been doing stuff to promote the show and make it successful. Instead he blames the shows decline on Everyone else but himself. At some point Jason needs to realize that when everyone leaves you in your life, maybe it's time to look hard in the mirror and start making smarter choices

Patrick Blackie

One step closer to the unlistenable Awesome World. Sorry but I was here for the chemistry, not for Jason. Each time a person goes, Raw Dog, Will, Andrew, Catherwood, etc, the show suffers

Patrick Blackie

Jason Ellis show is nothing with the cast. See Awesome World

Patrick Blackie

He and people in his life can’t manage something like that

Ian K

I'd happily pay double to have Kevin back. I'd pay triple to have 2005 Raw Dog

Mogwaa

😔

Kody Olsen

I'm gonna give it a couple weeks but it was already hanging by a thread but I don't see how ditching Kevin helps. Less testosterone, less and less content since 2009 and now just 2 guys talking back and forth.. and not just less hours per week but they only talk to each other now. No fun guests and no fun bits anymore really other than droopys bad news

Ashlyn

The show with only Jason (the true Jason Ellis show by your logic) is awesome World and it’s absolutely terrible. There’s a reason the main show is popular and that show is trash, the reason is Kevin and Tully. What dumb logic. “His name is on it so no one else matters”

Melissa

Not being able to afford him... that's sad and you have my sympathies. But saying he brought nothing to the table and made no effort, now you're reaching rather hard. That's not true, and we all know it

Nat King Swole

Kevin kept this show together. This is a horrible mistake. He’s stuck with you through thick and thin and you just axe him because you have a new podcast management company and then shit on him saying he didn’t bring anything to the table? Totally fucked up and disrespectful. Unsubscribing.

Kody Olsen

The show isn't failing cause of Kevin. Its because you need to go back to the way it was when it was successful. Put in the hours, do fun bits and stop blowing off the show for comedy

PsykoLogikal

Since you fired kevin might wanna think about taking him off the banner........

Grimey

You didn’t have to trash Kevin. Bad look. This sucks.

GlassArtGirl

Sorry guys. I found you all entertaining individually but I loved the trio dynamic way more. I don’t know what Kevin did or didn’t do but I had been listening for 13+ yrs and it sounded to me like he did a hell of a lot going waaaaay back. I can’t believe you are dissing him like this. I do wish nothing but the best for all three of you. Thanks for all the laughs over years. I’m super sad but have to exit now. Peace out! 😢😢😢

Dustin Lannan

I'd been holding on to my subscription to support the team after they got fired, and I really hoped that it was true that Sirius was holding the show back. I think the structure they had at Sirius actually made it better, because the show just isn't as fun anymore. Getting rid of Kevin and then shitting on him on the way out isn't a step in the right direction. I guess it is the "Jason Ellis" show, but that's not what I stayed for. I guess it is the reason I'm leaving though.

Danny Martin

Was Kevin in charge of the sound ? Cuz damn it’s low.

Sam

Kevin didn’t put in effort but I still can’t hear the show. How is this not fixed. MSPH works along with every other podcast is listen to.

Mitch in JP

Yooo, who did actually fart in the green room? I was out of the country and didn't have Sirius 😂

Mark

Jason is just jealous, because Kevins comedy was funny

Paul Coombs

Its so low. It used to be lower. Kevin was the one that made this volume so you can at least kinda hear it

Justin Bowen

Well said, Mr. Death Gadget. It's like politicians raising taxes to pay for the budget they can't keep under control. Figure out your spending before asking for more money.

Spityogametalkyosht

Jason Sucks and is a gay bitch I hope he Aaron Carter's himself

M Van

He didn’t Pay for the stem cells, he has stated so and he doesn’t know how much they cost

jeffrey west

You have helped me through so much in my life.thanks for making me believe in me hang in I will follow to the moon and back

Constantius87

Firing Kevin was a horrible call, morally and financially. You are almost definitely going to lose more patrons than his cut was worth.

Salas

Jason should take some financial advice and lessons about ego from Tony Hawk. I don’t see Tony flaunting all his lavish expenses.

Joseph Pajerek

As much as I loved CumTard, I've been with you and Tully since the early days; I'll go down with the ship. Don't give up, I won't

Derek Karl

Saying Kevin brought nothing to the show was neither fair nor accurate. Hope you guys can figure it out and get back on the right track

Josh M

It's disappointing that you guys couldn't have just let Kevin go and not talk shit about his performance. That's kind of small minded and petty.

Ryan Reedom

Jason, how do you accuse Kevin of not pulling his weight? Listen to how many times you say you have no clue what’s going on with your own show in this one episode. Can’t control levels, don’t know what days you are recording shows or moving, walk off to piss and can even edit it out. Playing Kevin’s drops after firing him so no way to close the show😂 Cratum is one of your only sponsors and you bash it… You care more about Standup and Hawk vs Wolf than the JES. Just admit your heart hasn’t been in this since Sirius fired you.

rc

Another upside to not listening anymore is I won't have to fast forward thru the shit opening song. Give it up, your singing is as good as your life decisions.

rc

The only reason Jason is still doing the show is because there's literally nothing else he can do. He's selfish all around from his sex habits(and sham of a marriage) to his time and the lack of effort he puts in.

Dan

Only made it 30 minutes into this episode and turned it off, yikes

rc

Take your dead dad's advice and stop being a 50 year old with a bong strapped to your face. You've gone Stern but without the talent.

Tallen Zek

Trashing Kevin on the way out is just a bad look. If a business decision, fine, but he brought 11 years of quality content to the show, and then he is bad mouthed on the way out and bitched at for "fixing a phone" for 10 seconds on air in one episode? Kevin put out a special Mad Scientist Party Hour episode talking about his side of things, and did it in a much more classy way. This whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I don't feel like supporting with Patreon anymore. I'll shift that over to Kevin and the boys at MSPH instead. Was fun yall, day 1 Patreon sub heading out.

Ryan Reedom

Please he didn’t even think about the outro

jason lehman

Meanwhile on the last free pod, Ellis and Tully joked about how they are on their phone doing other shit like ordering post mates and half checked out for a minute.

Kyle buckallew

Just remember no one wants to listen to awesome world. Talking with my money, I’m out.

repentant_harlequin

Jason needs to get back in therapy. The amount of cognitive distortions he needs to work through is staggering. I can't believe Tully wasn't the voice of reason on this. Anyways, I'm not bailing on the show, but after seeing the amount of quality content on the MSPH patreon, there's no way I can justify paying Jason for the awesome world sub. It's just not worth the extra $10 and that money goes a lot further on a MSPH sub.

Garrett

I'm out!

Travis Reese

These comments are wild. I love Kevin and will sub to MSPH to not miss out on his content but holy shit give Jason a break. Money doesn't grow on trees. No one wanted him gone

Kevin

Andrew farted and lied about it for ages. Eventually admitted it.

Capt.Power

Andy Dick was on the show. He heard the case then made Andrew finally admit it, lol

Salas

Kevin takes 10 seconds to fix his phone, and gets scolded. Had Jason’s phone been doing the same thing, there would’ve been no show that day because he would’ve spent all day at the Apple Store. The on the next show there would’ve been a long ass dreadful rant about how he couldn’t fix it, and casually mention that he had to pay $2k for a new one cause they duped him into it.

repentant_harlequin

The whole money thing was an excuse that Tully crafted to make things seem better. It would have worked, but Jason couldn't help but badmouth Kev, and basically said he's had it out for Kevin for over a year. Did Jason forget that dude's dad died?? Sad to see fans falling for this thinly-veiled attempt to paint Jason as a victim.

Salas

But you just described Jason?

zanna

When I first heard I thought...that's too bad but business is business. Then you trashed him on the show. Total dick move. Keep burning those bridges, Jason. You'll always have Tony Hawk to fall back on....right?

conner

Your guest episodes are the worst, I skip every one. Except the surfer guy

Salas

No you described Jason, who’s been that way since 2007.

Kiel Pilkington

No he's not. If he told it like it was he'd point out his own failures and mismanagement of his money, but it's easy to blame other people

Chris S.

I stopped listening to Bubba for the same reason as I will be leaving here...same old re-hashed stories and blaming everyone else for their screw ups and problems. I was a day one supporter when they got let go from Sirius. I supported all 3 of the guys as well as I could while going through my own issues with a job, a major injury, and having to figure out how to keep myself and my family afloat, all while listening to Jason bitch about finances. It's hard to listen to that from someone who drives a new performance BMW, hangs out with Tony Hawk, has a deal with Liquid Death and probably some other companies, etc. Tully has some really good solo content and so does Kevin with MSPH. I will continue listening to them, but I really don't think the JES is going to be any good with just 2 (3 if you count Katie). I know they are limited on what they can do since they are no longer with Sirius and can't play certain things but there are just no fun bits anymore. And I do think it's funny reading through the comments and seeing people saying that Kevin was always "negative" and concerned about his looks or his body. That is all Jason does anymore! I get that it was a business decision, but then saying he brought nothing to the table was really low.

Sean

I’d cancel and go somewhere else

Paul Coombs

Very well said. Spot on.

Sean

100% awesomeworld sucks. It’s unlistenable

Matthew Sirbas

Listener since day 1 (Ellis the DJ) I only listen to the main shows here, but have been in the $15. Tier since the jump to support. Now in the $5. Tier and the other $10. Is at MSPH. I hope you all succeed, but like you said it is what it is.

repentant_harlequin

Some of these posts are so delusional that it's actually kinda sad. I hope you're into Jason's onlyfans, because that's the only thing he'll have by this time next year.

Sean

Jason is a bitter old man that some how always lands on his feet on the back of others!!!!!

Sean

Between firing kevin and still not getting the audio levels right I’m over this show. Good luck failing miserably with ur 5somes. Get out now while you can tully.

Sean

Where can you listen to Bubba? I haven’t listened to him since his Sirius days!

Chris S.

He has a free podcast. Just search for The Bubba Army and you will find it. Just a heads up though, no one is there anymore from the Sirius days

Hurts2Brown (Go Birds)

Love you Tully and you’ll be fine, Kevin and Tully were why I subscribed, but you let one go and said basically he doesn’t bring anything? He brought me, so now he won’t be bringing me anymore, or my $. Best of luck Tully

Steve Price

I love Kevin too but to say that Jason should go kill himself and someone else liked it is the most FUCKED UP thing that I have ever seen!

Joshua Garcia

Listening since like 2003… This is garbage. Real bad look man. I’m so disappointed

LukeAtMyAnus

Succeed as a team or fail as a team. If money is tight you band together and everyone takes the hit makes changes, works on a solution to revitalize and make over the show. The team is what makes the show when the team breaks apart the show breaks apart. There is no Jason Ellis show without Jason Ellis Mike Tully and Kevin kraft. Unfortunately this is the beginning of the end. Fortunately for us there’s mad scientist party hour.

Dont Die 88

I've got a skate deck with Kevin, Tully, and Jason's signatures on it. Taking offers.

Alex Effertz

That’s where I’m at too. I don’t listen/pay for Awesome world because Jason by himself is a depressing bore. I liked the chemistry between all three of these guys and I’ll miss hearing Tully but this just isn’t worth paying for for me anymore. Wish them the best.

Justin

This is boring garbage. No Kevin, no fun. Know kevin, know fun

repentant_harlequin

So curious if Jason is going to ignore the hundreds of pro-kevin comments on today's show? Actually nm, I doubt he even knows how to view Patreon comments

Justin

Wait…. Money for new studio, but none for Kevin? Wax your board, all downhill from here

kdr

Good luck to you guys I’m done after this that kevin made a large contribution to your show he got his thumb exploded because of you and had to pay his own medical bills you can’t manage a business and it shows

Alex Effertz

Clever of them to make this announcement after the start of a new billing cycle. Guess I’ll get my moneys worth for this month but this isn’t the show I signed up for. Best of luck in the future.

Tim Michelotti

I get it. I still have a membership and have listened to it periodically. I think I kept with it because I liked Jason and Tully as people. I met them in Austin a while back and they took the time to bs with me. Great people. I think I miss the comradery with Will. The show hasn't been the same since it went of XM radio. I want those guys to succeed because they have gotten me though some tough times.

Justin

Fuck Tully

Kiel Pilkington

Now Jason is spending 20k a month plus giving 35% of revenue to this new scam he joined and thinks he's gonna be successful. Like did he start drinking again seriously wtf

repentant_harlequin

I wonder what the new studio cost? It looks and sounds like shit.

Braydon Addison

Stupid decision and what a shit show. Boring as fuck if it wasn't for the Kevin drama. Can't believe you gave him shit for not talking at skankfest and during guests...

Ashlyn

then it was a dumbass move to go there in the first place. he lives like he's a rockstar eventhough his income is less guaranteed. someone should help him relaize he needs to live within his means. I feel like all of his self confidence is in the shit he buys (a fucking FLAME THROWER?!?!?!) and Kevin is paying the price for it.

Sean

He sells the golf cart and can’t keep Kevin around with the profits??????

Josh M

Consistently amateur recording with the JES for sure.

Sean

He can barely read so he’ll never see this.

Sean

Well they have a professional producer 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. She should stick to onlyfans

Josh M

MSPH definitely has more respect for their listeners and the content is amazing. I mean Dom & Shuddy with WTF Did I Just Watch? Worth the $10 alone. Gimme a break. Some guy desperately trying not to be in his 50s or 3 homies just rapping about their lives which somehow look a lot like mine? No brainer.

richard lundy

I'll listen to this show just to hear the bullshit but it will be the last one. Kevin was a huge part of me listening.

Ryan

Wow I think this is the last nail in the coffin for ellis...... Kevin carried this shitty podcast just like rawdog did before him. The old Jason ellis show on Sirius was great. I can't same the same about this show :( Maybe you could get Andrew to come make the show funny again.

Sean

If kevin doesn’t bring anything to the show how come mad scientist party hour ALWAYS sounds so much better. Keep blowing money on renting a house you can’t afford and a car lease you can’t afford and making excuses. Take a long look in the mirror and figure out the real problem. Well I’ll just tell you. Your the problem jason.

Sean

I hope Ellis has to do roller blade and heelie commercials just to pay the bills!

repentant_harlequin

Jason, if you're reading this, please ask Siri the definition of Integrity. I realize it's a tough word, having four syllables and all, but do your best to sound it out.

repentant_harlequin

I should probably sell this Ellismania package before it's worth less than my Bitcoin. Any takers?

Ryan

Maybe they should fire the boards person instead

Brandon Jaynes

Everyone bashing in the comments. Own a small business, then make tough decisions. Then you will understand.

repentant_harlequin

You should be ashamed of yourself for excusing Jason's behavior as a mere business decision. Kevin was much more than just an employee of his. There were other solutions to J's financial problems, and he owed it Kevin to pursue those first.

Matt Taylor

Also a small business has to take responsibility’s for their spending too?

Kiel Pilkington

I don't understand why Jason rents a house period. Grow up a buy a house

Mogwaa

Tully whispers

Kiel Pilkington

C'mon dude really. I'm pissed too but you're taking it too far

Rusto Chango

Guess if I was renting mansions and pornstar and buying my kids ebikes and trying to live an extravagant lifestyle I wouldn't be able to afford friends or employees either. Lame.

Kiel Pilkington

MSPH since Kevin's firing has already gained 225+ new patrons and counting. GO KEV!!

jason lehman

That's awesome! Any idea how many JES lost?

CJS

Blaming Kevin is a bitch move. Nice job shooting yourself in the dick which is all you want to talk about lately.

Sean

You fired kevin over a pool. Some friend

Kiel Pilkington

It says his numbers went up 4-5 but that's artificial since it won't show the cancellations until Dec.1 when everyone's subscription renews. Then it'll show how many he has

jason lehman

Don't forget the BMW 🤦🏻‍♂️

M Van

Lol you must not follow Tony on Instagram,it’s there just more subdued

Michael Vermeiren

Sorry but I’m leaving patreon. Kevin was the biggest contribution to the show. Should have fired Tully instead. He doesn’t know when to shut up and constantly repeats the end of his sentences. Fucking annoying AF

Mark

😂 because no matter how much money you give him, he wastes it on childish garbage.

Spityogametalkyosht

Hearing Ellis say that " I'm sure a bunch of fans are mad about it and hate me and that it's okay it's not new and that he's been there before" is a clear indicator he doesn't give a fuck about his show or fans. He's a toxic soul that destroys every realtionship he has. Won't be long before Tully is gone and it's just Jason and his stupid world podcast that nobody will listen to

trevor mackenzie

Unbelievable, I dont ever want to hear about wanting a “LAMBO” again. It seems the show doesnt understand were the value and talent is. Kevins was the only one on the show willing to be humbled over and over again to put the show first over himself. I resonate with kevin, and i feel like alot of people do. Hes not the cool guy but he’s hilarious, genuine, and the guy you want to be your best friend. See ya on The Mad Scientist Party Hour Cool Bean. So disappointing its not april fools day.

Ashlyn

He had to pay for his bday mansion party somehow, oh and Tiger’s 7K electric scooter. Not to mention a pool, M5, stem cells, all the other bullshit he blows money on. Good thing he’s got kt doing onlyfans to keep their rent paid.

Ashlyn

Good to know I’m not the only one that couldn’t listen to that shit. Always skipped. MSPH’s opener is delightful lol

Sean

Not enough

Paul Coombs

Plus the yearly subscriptions. He won't feel the true loss until January is my guess. Also, I'll bet a few people subscribed just to hear about why Kevin was fired, and will be out next month.

Todd Gilbert

I have had this on my mind all day. I’m not here to poop and anyone…but I think y’all made a very big mistake. The only way to keep the ship afloat is together. I thought about canceling because it seems the ship is sinking and it’s a matter of time before you sink. I hope you get a ton of guest on the show to fill in for the person you just let go. I can’t just sit here and listen to you and Tully all day

richard lundy

This reminds me of when sirius shit canned yall because they couldn't "afford" you and then added a bunch of new people and shows.

Tim Martin

Kevin should be grateful Jason helped him make a career. If Cumtard is soooo great, then he'll be fine now that he has even more time making fun of his friends on the .... wait, what is his show again?

Brandon P

It’s pretty fucking depressing to hear Kevin is gone. I hope this is the right move to continue the show. Been listing since Raw dog left the show. Won’t be going anywhere but it’s pretty fucking sad.

David Bridgewater

That would be MSPH! And yes he will be fine because the poominati has his back and he was the best part of JES….

Paul Seniuk

I can understand the need for better promoters of the podcast and that is expensive to get results. From what Kevin is saying on his podcast, you really sold the farm to take a chance on this group to boost your visibility. You have also dramatically changed the dynamic of the show with just two people and it’s going to be hard to catch traction for new listeners because it sounds like there is really no new plan outside of boosting a podcast that now has one less person that filled a gap in content. I keep my Patreon for now and keep an open mind

Diesel

The captain should go down with the ship…not throw crew mates overboard to save himself. Fuck both of you for this decision. Weak ass move Ellis! All of your streams of income and THIS is how you decide to solve your financial problems? Wtf?

Diesel

And while everyone is complaining and you’re hopefully reading these….YES YOUR SHOW VOLUME IS LOW AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!! How can you do this for a year now and still not realize it? Jason always gets butthurt when people mention it but why is it the ONLY podcast I have to max out volume for and still can’t hear it with a window cracked in the car?! Get your shit together dude!! Bring Kevin back and hire an actual audio engineer and you *might* be okay. If not…you just hammered the last nail in your own coffin. Love ya Ellis but come the fuck on dude?!

Hayden Layman

Most depressing show ever. I know the crew aside from Tully won't see this, but damn, Kevin was a vicar part of the equation, in my opinion. I totally understand he was the low man on the totem pole and, it soumd slide he wasn't pulling his weight professionally. But DAMN! Look forward to the dynamic of the show now. Not sure I'll like it as much without his commentary. I know yall recognize that. But he will be soarly missed. Love you, Kevin! ALSO, Yall need to turn this frown upside down and look to RALLY ON! Maybe things will turn around and you can afford to hire him back? Is that an option? Either way, get out of the bummer zone and into more positive mindsets. I appreciate this episode and the feelings yall are going through.

repentant_harlequin

I hope they plan to refund Ellismania packages for the fans who feel betrayed. I was excited when I heard that Will, Josh, and Christian will be there, and thought it was big of Jason to squash those beefs. But now the thought of going makes me feel dirty, and I realize Jason was only tolerating those guys to sell tickets.

Brian Wallace

Love ya Jace and I’m not going anywhere, but you should have left the details of Kevins departure behind closed doors. It’s a bad look in my opinion, but what do I know?

Steven Stecker

Been listening for over 10 years. This show is at its best when you have someone there to bring the comedy and keep things light. When Rawdog left it was rough for a bit but you found your way. Kevin was a great add in the 3rd chair. I have no interest in listening to Jason and Tully without there being the comedic side to keep it fun. Peace out.

Ryan Murphy

Hopefully you'll unsubscribe from Patreon, you despicable mean troll

Ryan Murphy

Also, I've screenshot and reported your continuous hate speech to Patreon.

repentant_harlequin

I was sad about Kevin, but then I heard how bummed Jason was that his fivesome wasn't as good as he wanted it to be, and now I know true despair. Kev will be alright.

Andrew

Go over to MSPH kevin is the host and its much better

Andrew

If it even happens. I have a feeling it will get canceled

Braydon Addison

Agreed so much. The window cracked part rings so loud for me and how I listen.

Kiel Pilkington

He will be fine. MSPH already has close to 250 new patrons since yesterday. If you're fine with Jason just throwing away all his friends than I guess that's your own flaw. I'll still listen to his free shows but Ellis isn't getting anymore of my money

Shiloh

No one wants that shit lol

Shiloh

I’ve suspected for a while he has no clue that only about 60 people are usually watching the live stream. Why would anyone tell him? When he can continue to live in a fantasy world that he has 5 million fans

Alan Winter

Going to my money to the MSPH. Good luck Tully with a sinking ship

Shiloh

You’re a fool for ever thinking any of those people would be there.

brian woods

Jason, Tully and Katie are Awesome! We will all miss Kevin. Grow up you little bitches who are threatening to cancel their subscription. The show must go on.

Diesel

It’s fucking crazy man. Even crazier that he never listens to anyone that tells him. Been a thorn in my side since he went to podcasts. That alone was making me want to unsubscribe and now the Kevin thing. I’ll try to hold on for a week or two and see how things go but I think I might be dropping Ellis. Sad as fuck…been a listener for 13-14 years or so. This shit is terrible 😔

Phil

I own a small business and the last thing I would do is get rid of the talent if business was bad just to keep my paycheck. Work through it and things will stable out. Give up your talent and eventually your paycheck will be gone along with your business. My business made it through 9/11 (we do business in NY & NJ), multiple recessions and Covid. Keep your staff, cut down on the bullshit and you’ll make it through. We are currently doing better than ever even as other businesses in my field are complaining about losing customers and closing up shop.

Braydon Addison

Right? I just went through this with Stern this January, it wasn't worth it without Ellis and Stern working like 4 hours a month. Sad to be doing it again, but I wasted years hoping Stern would turn around and he never did. This will be the same. Plenty of other great shows to get into, it'll just be scary finding something new haha.

Joshua Garcia

Been listening since day 1… Ellis has become so out of touch. He lives an extravagant lifestyle compared to most of us and cuts Kevin bc of money?!… Lame.

Joesombody

I’ve got a Bose blue tooth. Only show I have to max out. Msph always sounds good. Why so much overhead?

Joesombody

Fivesome in a mansion and Kevin’s 20% breaks the bank?

Tim Martin

How many people here would know anything about Kevin, if you hadn't heard him on Jason's show? None of you.

Donnie Loggins

It says he has 3844 patrons? Im guessing thats all paying customers. That x even just the $5 tier is 19k a month and he cant afford kevin? Seems weird…

Drill Bill

I think he has his own stream company now. I listen to Shocktober every year from Street Fight Radio and he does a good recap of what Bubba / O&A / Howard are up to

Drill Bill

I'm pretty sure Katie does all the behind the scenes work on Patreon, so she will definitely be reading what you guys are writing about her

Tim Martin

What do you consider day 1?

Jeff Curtis

That was pretty disrespectful. Kevin deserved a fonder farewell. Should’ve taken a pause before complaining about your Six-some.

Mister Fister

Who’s out of touch? Did you even listen to the show? Ellis is broke and had to make a hard choice. You’re lame for leaving such a dickhead comment

Chris Miller

3843 once December 1st hits.

Donnie Loggins

Hes broke cause he spends his money like a fucking 5 year old.

Tim Martin

Kevin was offered that choice. Only know because I actually listened to his side on the party hour. He declined.

Sake Bukakke

Amen! Couldn’t stand that shit either.

Mister Fister

As if you know 😂 give an example

tacsum

I don't think Jason or Michael actually read the comments. I've been a loyal listener since Jason had a pigeon stuck in his attic and they tried to do the early show on the West coast. I listened when Tully quit and came back through all the interns Jetta Kevin and the big fat liar who farted and of course will. When's the Jason Ellis show was fired from Sirius XM I was devastated and I felt like I lost a part of myself. I thought they were prospering doing podcasts and patreon but I guess I was wrong. I don't know if Jason understands savings or being frugal or he just spends it as soon as he makes it but I feel like there's many sides to the story. I always wanted to be a wolf knife but that is definitely never going to happen now. I feel sorry for anyone who purchased ellismania tickets thinking that it would be the same as it was. I feel like the event might be canceled even considering the taint stick / death death die will not be performing with the original members. I personally wish them all the best and I will still listen to the lowest tier because I still wish for the good old days of the Jason Ellis show back on Sirius XM. I have also subscribed to msph because they provide some fantastic content and I believe Kevin has a lot of talent and deserves our support. Seeing how well Josh has done after quitting / being fired is encouraging to the fact that you can survive after being fired from the Jason Ellis show. At the end of the day fuck Sirius XM and fuck Andrew he's an asshole

Mister Fister

5 year olds don’t spend all their money on a studio for their show. Try again

Sake Bukakke

He always trails off in volume when talking. It is super annoying.

Tim Martin

A lot said there. I thought Jason was at his best by himself on Faction between songs. When Tulley was added, it was an interesting dynamic. There have been several people in and out along the way. I feel like all of those people that came and went have left better for being part of the show. Kevin is obviously funny and talented. Maybe it's for the best that he's free to do more with his talent. At the end of the day, it is a business decision. I've had to let many people go from my payroll that I'd rather not have. Life sucks sometimes. It's about what you do with it.

Sake Bukakke

I have been listening since 2011 and feel like the time has finally come to move on. The show has not been that funny to me for a while and without Kevin, I don’t see it improving. Best of luck, I’m out. Let us not forget that Chad Reed is a space lord.

Donnie Loggins

Or a stupid fucking golf cart, or a mansion for their bday. I could carry on but you probably wont get. Its ok.

Donnie Loggins

Kinda feel the same man. Awesome world is absolutely terrible. I think w out good cohosts jason cant thrive and as much as i like tully i think kevin added the most.

Mark F

I don’t know that it was 100% free but he obviously didn’t pay full price either. I mean I’m not sure he is driving sales of stem cells enough to fully pay for it

Mark F

Tony is also worth an estimated 140m and the other “broke”. Tony does flaunt some time but a feel a fair amount of that was paid for by someone else too.

Mark F

I don’t see how this lasted a year. How do you not talk to Kevin and say I need help. Can you help do this or do that? You can’t expect people to always just do what you want when you don’t ask. I would see Jason as being super controlling and not letting people just do what they want to help. He could have handled this better earlier and maybe done better but he was never going to take Kevin’s advice he always kind of looked down on him. I would love know how much Tully does to “pull his weight” bedsides news stories he doesn’t use for his own show.

Tim Martin

Wow. It's almost like you were right there. Were you?

Mark F

Wasn't but I can't see how he talked to Kevin about pulling his weight and Kevin said naw I'll just come get my check. Feels like I was bad management.

William spiezio

The audio is so much better love the new studio already!!!

Sake Bukakke

By better do you mean barely audible?

KEPI ARMY

First losing Will and everyone at Sirius was hard but the show had no control over that. We all moved forward and made the best of it and now Jason and Tully turn on Kevin.... This sucks!

Audioskater4706@aol.com

Bad move letting Kevin go boys! Hope you lose a lot of subscriptions because of it. You did to Kevin what Sirius radio did to you. No morals! The show lost the dynamic without Kevin.

Kiel Pilkington

2 weeks ago you were talking about all the fun stuff you could do with Kevin and now after your realtor tells you you're broke, you fucking fire Kevin. Scumbag move. I'd expect that from basic bitches but not you Jason

Kiel Pilkington

275+ new MSPH patrons and counting y'all!!!

PsykoLogikal

And Kevin is still on the banner. You'd think if you spend 20k / month the production company might remind you to remove all the branding with Kevin. Or maybe do it themselves? I have no clue just fucking sad after the whole debacle, clearly Jason didn't have a plan or think ahead, attempted to use the old outro, still in the graphics, did he not consider how fans would feel?

Matt Vallee

Ok so it’s called the Jason Ellis Show, why is it never Jason Ellis’s fault the Jason Ellis Show is doing badly? It’s always anyone else’s fault. SXM. “The bosses”. Christian. Rawdog. Will. Andrew. Kast. This new shit deal. Kevin. Etc. One by one everyone in his orbit eventually drops out. You actually think Ellismania is going to happen now? Who the fuck flies out and pays for a hotel to see a two person show lmao.

Brian Rhea

Come on man,.... You know that money is gone! I wish I could get the next 3 months of my money back since I paid for a year and now I'm not getting what I paid for.

Brian Rhea

I clearly don't have the radio or headphones you have cause the audio is fucking terrible...

Sean

And most they get maybe 30 comments on her for a show. Now they over 270 comments. That should say something!!!!! Jason you fucked up!!!!! See ya JES.

Joesombody

Ellis can piss on the air but Kevin can’t fix his phone to use for the show?

Braydon Addison

Pretty disgusting and honestly makes listening to anything he says now just anger inducing because he's such a fuck head. He says how much he hates Sirius all the time and is still bitter what they did to him, yet he did the exact same thing to Kevin with the exact same excuse. Those poor Sirius execs didn't have enough to afford their pools and e bikes and shit, so the Ellis show had to pay. Then 2 years later he does the same thing to Kevin... Again ... At Christmas time...

Braydon Addison

He uses his phone and zones out on the air all the time. Lots of times Kevin and Tully would be talking about something and Ellis would be doing whatever on his phone and you could clearly tell he wasn't listening by his awkward reactions and responses.

Dont Die 88

I feel like all the people that get mad at Ron Burgundy because he said go fuck yourself, San Diego.

Ryan Reedom

What other measures have you seen him take to save the business. I would hope they would to do ads for reusable edible tampons before getting rid of Kevin. As a Businessman he could have self produced the show instead of taking the most predatory deal available.

Death Metal Dad

Next couple shows are gonna be tough, I'm sure. I don't hate you, Jason, or you, Michael. Hopefully Kevin doesn't hate you either. You did what you had to do for the show to continue. Everybody is hurting. Maybe someday things will be better and Kevin can return. I will still be listening. Keep on keeping on, Fellas. 🤘🤘

Ryan Reedom

Probably 5 people to hear the announcement who had instant regret. Just like Jason’s Bday orgy 😂

Danny

It might be your headphones, I always hear the show just fine

Danny

I’d say the only thing that concerns me is that all of the shows I enjoy listening to have a pecking order and a lot of what is funny is when the lower guys screw up and get shit on, it’s usually just off the cuff and real, and hilarious. There was a lot of that when the show was on faction talk with Andrew or the interns or even Kevin to some extant and it made for great content. Hopefully they’ll be able to bring in a couple of people/interns to do things on the show, not as on-air-talent necessarily, but it will hopefully create organic situations that end up being funny. I think it would have also made for good content if Jason would have addressed Kevin on air about things that were upsetting him. Again, I think people appreciate the real moments

repentant_harlequin

To all the Jason bootlickers, pull yourself away from his onlyfans and listen to the MSPH free podcast. You need to hear Kevin's side of the story, and you can go back to fapping right afterwards

Brandon Parker

Wow…..just wow. The entertainment industry is not like normal jobs. People form relationships with personalities, especially after many years. I’ve been a staunch supporter and listener for over a decade. To me Kevin was such a vital part of the show, I enjoyed listening to him just as much Jason. Tully, well……Fuck Tully, lol, no in all seriousness I love them all. But to me without Kevin I just can’t keep subscribing to this. It’s a painful decision but it leaves to much of a hole for me to keep going. I’d rather put some of that money into supporting Kevin. Jason is used to a certain lifestyle. Perhaps him and Katie should have been a little more humble and lived a more practical life as far as where they lived. As the owner of a business myself of course I try and keep as much money for myself. But at some point reality need to kick in. All the best but I’m out now.

Derek

Cool, I can cancel this after this month. I’ll put my cash into msph.

the_disastronaut

This is Fucked, Ellis I am so disappointed. He already admitted on air that he doesn't read these comments, Tully said he only sees these comments because he also subscribed. So we are all only complaining to eachother and here I go. I am already having a shit day at work, turned on Ellis to cheer me up as it has been my escape for the last 10+ years and find out Kevin got axed. I have stuck around through all the shit over the years. This one is tough. I love the show, such a bummer for everyone involved to have to deal with this. I wish Kevin the best and hope Ellis' decision was worth it for him in the end.

repentant_harlequin

Don't be so hard on Ellis, he's had a rough go of it the last year. Dont you remember when Sirius had the nerve to fire him before the holidays? And when the DMV conspired to keep him from passing the written test? And then he hurt his brain trying to keep Tony hawk hard for him. And then his birthday mansion fivesome wasnt as good as he hoped. We should all just be thankful the man is still going after all of that. And Kevin? Well he's had a pretty easy year if you ask me. 😉

the_disastronaut

Well I was trying to go easy, and keep things neutral forgive me haha. I didn't want to bring up how sad it is that Ellis has to lose his precious golf cart staring in the sunset on the beach when we have Kevin dealing with the loss of his father, his pet, oh and his thumb EXPLODING for the sake of the show. Everytime that was brought up, I couldn't help but notice how much Ellis would belittle and dismiss what a literal pain that was for Kevin to deal with. The lack of compassion is truly insane.

Nate Coronado

This will be the end of JES. Jason slowly turning on everyone has become his thing. I used to love the segments with Jamie Fox and Mike Catherwood. They added great comedy to the show. Then they disappeared. Dealt with all the audio issues and issues with the live and YouTube. Tried to support him when SiriusXM didn’t renew his contract. Everyone forgets he didn’t get fired. To watch how he cried on the Dr Drew show about how badly he was treated then to turn around and do Kevin even worse is disgusting and disappointing to a level that will ruin his reputation with anyone who did or listened to the show. Did Jason forget his dad and grandpa died this year? How could you treat someone so badly when you experienced the same? He could have said there were creative differences and money issues and left it at that. Instead he chose the low road and turned of Kevin in less than a week. What Jason said is not true about his roll with the show. Kevin kept the show fun once there weren’t any guests or anyone else for Jason to make fun of. Now instead of being fun and dynamic you just have a conversation between two people. There is no rebuild, it’s over! It’s really sad to see Jason look like a fighter out of his prime flailing to grasp the last seconds of his 15 min, willing to step on anyone in his way to live like he used to. Can’t wait for the episode where he fires his wife and needs to run the equipment himself. Then watching him blame it on Tully or whatever excuses he can come up with. Only reason I will keep my subscription is to listen to old episodes that remind me of the good times. Can’t believe it’s all over, thanks for the laughs!

Dave B

Jeze firing Kevin has to be one of the top stupidest fucking decisions you’ve ever made. But hell, maybe with all this extra money you should finally fix your shit audio. What a joke.

Blair Lillejord

I'm out, already cancelled, cant even listen to this without Kevin

Derek

Wow I can’t believe this trash he just said. Kevin not carrying his weight! Wtf he brings the best moments. I’m moving for tard that tune and droopy as well as all the crazy antics. Jason is a waste of time.

Jake Amerin

I'm not gonna say I'm happy but I understand

the_disastronaut

Getting rid of a huge part of what makes your show good is not a logical move to increase or even maintain monthly subscribers, seems like the opposite effect will be the reality. But what do I know? This show has been such an important part of my life for so long as I know for many others as well. It is hard not to take this personally, so much invested emotionally and financially after all the years. Ok I'm done bitching, sorry everyone. Jordan, stop triggering me haha. ❤

Rusto Chango

Kind of seems like maybe there's a bit of money mismanagement going on here. Jason has got sucked into the LA trap always trying to be more than he is. I wonder quite often if Jason knows who or what he is... hard thing to figure out if you haven't already by 50 years old, I guess. Always trying to keep up with the Jones' makes you a clone, not an individual. Oh well. Show has been getting way too woke anyway. I'll give it a shot for the rest of this month and go from there.

repentant_harlequin

Last one, Kevin's share went to buy the balsa wood, construction paper, and red light bulbs for the new studio. And goddamn, what a difference. I'm sure glad they took there time to plan the move out, and I think the quality really shows.

Scott

It’s definitely low, volume on 19 when I’m usually on 12-13 and still isn’t loud. Waiting it to blow my heads out, and huge bummer about Kevin, MSPH is a weekly podcast for me, I had Patreon to keep this show going for me, but not sure anymore…..seems like there is no schedule you’re following or game plan. Every podcast has a game plan or how they run things but this is turn the mics on and talk….maybe some games or skits but for $10 this is all it seemed to be.

Knob Geldoff

Jason - Lovable moron Tully - Brains & common sense Kevin - Goofball nerd Everyone had a role to play. But as mentioned on Reddit... so many people in Jason's life have ghosted him. Perhaps he's the issue with the show stumbling and everyone has left or was fired. To be honest, I think Jason's lifestyle changes have not sat well with a lot of listeners. I recall on Sirius that 90% of callers were oil field workers, lumber jacks, and other 'manly' blue-collar workers. I'm not dissing Jason's journey but obviously, there are people that aren't comfortable with a lot of the topics and guests that he has on over the past couple of years. His fans want old Jason. He's not making the desired product anymore. And it sucks because I really enjoy listening. Also, going to go cancel now. Not sure if this comment will stick around.

Colby Matranga

Seriously fucked already cancelled and moved to MSPH. Disheartening to hear you try to spin it like he is not contributing enough. Havent heard an actual contribution from Tully other than his personal opinions that are never backed by facts. Weird choice and doesnt look like my opinion is alone here

Mark

I used to think Tully was smart too but now I think he's just a dumb ass libtard

Rusty

I’ve owned a business for more than half my life. A good business owner takes responsibility for his mistakes, recognizes that his workers are what keeps his ship above water, and will take a haircut himself before he f*cks them over. A bad business owner casts blame and passes suffering on to his workers. I’ve seen a lot of competitors who have to same attitude as Jason come and go.

Martin Shart

Obvious by the comments that many have never actually run a business. there are times when we have to make decisions that are difficult, and ones that not everyone will understand. i Love the show and will miss Kevin dearly, however, no one can honestly say they didn't see a decline in Kevin's contribution to the show. how many guests did he not have a question for? At the end of the day, Jason had to make a decision to keep things going. was it the right one? Time will tell. but i cancelled serious to follow him here, so i will stand by him to the end. Martin Shart

Knob Geldoff

Well, the fact that you use 'libtard' speaks volumes about your intelligence.

repentant_harlequin

Please tell us more about the struggles of being a business owner. A lot of us plebs are unable to comprehend the amount of courage it takes to make those types of decisions and would love a peek at your special formula. You sound like the type of selfless business owner that this world needs more of. Isn't capitalism just the best?

Martin Shart

That last heart was from me buddy

Kiel Pilkington

Difficult decision would've have been to take a pay cut himself and live in a house within his means, instead he made the easy choice firing Kevin. Sorry but you're looking at Jason through rose colored glasses

Mark

Same to ya brother

Mark F

I don't he really ever addressed it except last Friday when he started to bad mouth both

Mark F

I have never run a business but I guarantee I could have run that one better. He constantly just threw money at every problem on top of his fake rich lifestyle. They house sure I get it he got that house when he was making 7 figures. But was it a 2 year lease if not why stay so long. He bought a budget pink jeep, kids bullied his son so he sold that for a loss and got a expensive BMW. He has talked about money for years since Sirius but never really tightened those finances. Let's not even discuss Postmates vs just getting it himself. I like the guy I really do. Have since I was younger and skated but he is 50 teenager with no concept of how to actually be an adult. I hope it works out but I just don't see how it will. They aren't going to just start making lots of money all of a sudden.

Jason Burrowes

Sorry to lose Kevin, but I’m in until the end as far as the show goes. Really surprised at the anger by some people over what was obviously a tough decision. A lot of supposed fans think they are experts on the show’s finances apparently. Keep pushing mate, you’ll get there.

Alex Effertz

Holy shit, just listened to the free MSPH show and Kevin explained the details of the new podcast hosting company Jason signed with. If they post 1 show a week, it costs them $20,000 a MONTH + 35% of their Patreon income! This ship isn’t sinking, it is now plummeting. What a fucking disaster to sign that deal and cut out one of the beloved members of the show. NO SHOT this new company gets them that many new viewers to make that deal worth it. Holy fucking shit, good luck!

Brandon Parker

Perhaps if Jason and Katie stopped living beyond their means this wouldn’t have happened. After listening to MSPH and Kevin’s side of the story I’m sooo done with Ellis. What a disappointment!!!! As rather support that podcast now. Jason also lied about Kevin’s cut. Had Jason been better with his money during the Sirius years, he could have lived off the interest alone, but he squandered it living the high life ! One other thing it seems super obvious now the JES was incredibly poorly managed. So sad they had a really good thing going. Canceling now and subscribing to MSPH. As listeners we are like shareholder to a company, and when the company is ran so poorly it’s time to bail and get out. peace !

Devin Sherron

Ha, they won't play the outro song because the guy who "doesn't contribute" made that song. Big mistake in my opinion. The shows when kevin had covid and it was just jason and tully, weren't as good. Kevin brings an awesome dynamic to the show. It needs all 3 of them to keep it going. Such a shame to put all the blame on Kevin. If Jason didn't rent a Mansion for a fivesome that didn't work out, that probably would've payed for another month's of kevins salary. I've loved this show for so long and I hate that I'm going to cancel my subscription. Been listening to MSPH for years and love it. I encourage everyone to give it a shot

Devin Sherron

But Jason had to get a house with a pool! Obviously a more expensive house with a pool is better than Kevin lol. I think he's more bummed about losing his golf cart than he is losing Kevin

Brandon Moore

I agree man after all it’s the Jason Ellis show not poop time with Kevin.

Troy Wells

You couldn’t afford to pay Kevin 20%? I feel like you’re going to lose 20% of you subscribers at least because of this. So I don’t really see the financial gain?

Matt K

The outro song was fucking irritating

Brad B

This show is going downhill very fast, and way before you fired Kevin. Compared to the Sirius show, it’s a complete shell of it’s former self. What made this show great was the many personalities and people that were on air everyday and the interaction between everyone. It was never about just Jason or Tully, or any single person for that matter. Everyone played a part in the success over the years and I’m sad to lose a once truly unique and outstanding show. Firing Kevin could possibly be the final nail in the coffin.

Matt Taylor

What I’m confused about is when they got fired from Sirius Xm, Ellis made it sound like the group was going to try and make it through the storm together, Because they knew they had a winning formula with the three of them together. So they go from broke together, to “ oh no we’ve spent too much”? Wouldn’t Ellis just move on with Tully from the start of he was so concerned? From someone looking in from the outside and listening consistently for years, it kinda sounds like Ellis is just finding it hard to let go of his life style and this is a way to keep the party going, even if it’s just running on fumes now. Who knows, I’m just a fan who’s trying to process all of this. I feel like a child in the middle of a divorce and I need to pick who I spend weekends with lol

Brian Wallace

Great way to put it, as weird as it sounds to say about a group of people who have no idea who I am I’m just a bit heartbroken right now. The guys have been a staple of a long commute I’ve been making for years. I wish venting in a comments section made me feel better, but it doesn’t, so I’ll have to find my own way…

Mark

It's sad to say, but watching the show crash and burn over the next few months will be the most entertaining thing about the show in the past year. Definitely worth $10

Cody Smith

Lately he's been talking about how lucky he is and should be more humble but then he's blowing cash on renting mansions and buying expensive E-Bikes based off a spur of the moment skateboard bet with his son, not even including the constant post-mates they surely get. Now, if you want to spend your money like that, its totally cool and not anyones business to complain, but when he's constantly highlighting how much cash he's blowing on worthless shit, then cutting Kevin because of money problems, we're well within reason to say its stupid and are done financially supporting the show.

Solidus 3000

It also does have strong Sirius similarities...Sirius was like: "Money doesn't grow on trees, we can't afford you guys anymore. You don't do enough or bring in enough subs. Bye" THEY fucked up then and should have kept you on. But now you do basically the same thing to one of your own and guess what, you fucked up here and should have kept Kevin. Greed though...try to save some bucks and end of losing more, ironic.

Alan Lang

Ellis, don’t let the haters get you down. Business is business even when it’s a friend. I’m about to have to fire a guy a like and respect. It is a horrible decision to have to make, but you just do what you believe is right. I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time and I’m not going to stop listening now. Delete the haters.

repentant_harlequin

Thank you for that context. I hadn't realized how brave people like you and Jason are. I think your fired employee will completely understand that sometimes you simply can't make dinner and NEED that Postmates. Keep up the courageous work sir, the world needs more people like yourself.

Jill Epperson

Yes, I know Jason doesn't read these comments. I guess that should have told us early on that he doesn't really care what we Patreon subscribers think. It's not like we pay his salary or anything?!? I stopped paying him today, after subscribing to Sirius for over a decade (just for the JES and Jude) then following the show here as soon as it was up and running. Jason was never the primary voice I tuned in to hear, it was Tully first, then Kevin, then Jason. Firing Kevin wasn't the first nail in the coffin, the increasing amount of political discussions had been wearing on me for a while now, but this is what finally pushed me out. I sincerely hope that he loses enough of us to negate the savings of losing a major reason that the show succeeded in the first place.

Bill Parish

I am a business owner..but I'm different..I don't give a fuck about the money sometimes I dont get paid, I adjust my lifestyle accordingly..sometimes I'm up sometimes I'm down but you are the captain of the ship and a good captain always goes down with the ship..that being said I am a show listener from the very beginning..I'll go toe to toe with anyone about it..I've listened since Jay was just a d.j late nights the very first tony hawk show on demolition radio. When ellis had the phone in a pornstars ass and called his mom. I remember the exact origin story of cow fucker..the biggest mistake of the show in history is repeating itself..back in the day when Kevin was an intern and the show was ellis,rawdog,and tully(cowfucker) the dynamic was good but not as good with Kevin because of the fact that Jason wants to be the alpha ( physically) tully knows he's the alpha (intellectually) and that left Kevin/Josh as the cannon fodder for when intelligence and physical alphas clash. tully can't take his frustration out on the boss and undermine him with sly / snide comments. And the boss can't take out his frustration physically against tully or try to outsmart him...Kevin and Josh were the pressure release valve (a pressure release valve) doesn't do much or contribute much day to day but it does save your shit from destroying itself...those older listeners will maybe remember the dynamic towards the end when tully left the show and sirius to pursue writing...he was seething with anger about having to try to have an intelligent conversation with basically a caveman...that last show was so tense with just the two of them and no release valve...as listeners and not the boss we miss our old friends, we miss hearing dingo and Kevin match wits,we miss will getting frustrated to the point of spitting nails with tully,we miss hearing from catherwood and b real stopping by for weed stories,now we're gonna miss Kevin for his ability to laugh at himself and point out his own faults and take the brunt of the frustration of the show, his belly laugh at himself when he realized he looked like a moron at some point in his life not to mention his sweet tits..maybe you should have had him running the show after all he's only been doing it successfully for over 12 years now, maybe he should be the one doing audio levels and making sure guests are actually talking into the mic,because their audio is actually much better (even when it's bad)..maybe instead of firing him you should have him in once a week, dingo once or twice a month, get will in there once or twice a month, call b real,have special guests we actually care about it's like seeing old long lost friends again for us,we've been missing the dynamic between Doug Benson and Dr Drew and mark McGrath when they're in there...you guys had a formula that actually worked and at one point was taking over the world, and slowly your killing yourself.... how about instead of starting on the same financial level you became accustomed to you and tully move back into apartments they got pools and someone to clean it as well as pay for the chemicals. After all Kevin has only been able to live in an apt..get a cheaper vehicle..stop with the super high end teslas,bmw's & e bikes..if you wanna save some money ..make your kid pedal a bike (like a man) and get a paper rout and earn that money..I understand he made a bet with his son that apparently now seems like cumtards gotta cash....maybe get the fuck out of California as they are destroying that too..I was born and raised in old southern California. The wild wild west before the city was gentrified and they movedall the gang members to palm desert.by old I mean we had illegal aliens not bleedingheart (immigrants) to try to softenup the image to the rest of the u.s, dudes were getting shot for wearing the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood, you would get car jacked for your dayton's...you became harder and street smart ...but above all you took care of your own... unfortunately tully will be the next to leave because the dynamic has no release valve...the only way I see this ship righting itself is if you first get out of l.a.(shits cheap outside of California I got a 4 bedroom house with attached garage inground pool (heated) another 4 car garage, a horse barn and 7 acres of lawn for just over 250.k yeah the weather sucks..that's the only thing I miss about California now...I probably won't ever go home again, as it is I haven't even seen my own mother ...my last surviving family member in over 14 years because what they have done to the state...BTW as far as my subscription goes I work by myself and I actually do physical labor so I only do audio and I did subscribe to hawk vs wolf patrion but gotta say disappointed, unless I start actually getting shows instead of 5-7 minute snippets that one will unfortunately have to go...you know you could actually man up and work..I run my own building/remodeling business and picked up another job (as a favor for a friend)that is now 40 hours a week.... so now I work at least 80 hours a week as well as nights and weekends, haven't taken a vacation in 14 years or taken a day off in 3..and am on emergency call 24 hours a day...that extra 40 hours a week is what goes to (the nicer things in life) you don't have to like it you just gotta do it

Alan Lang

Thank you for understanding Jordan. However, I prefer GrubHub.

PsykoLogikal

Tully's wife has a clothing line, he has stated more than once she makes enough he could go back to writing so I don't have anything to say about him having a Tesla. Jason with a m4 on the other hand, seems irresponsible

Anti-Cannoli Mike

I think I agree with that wall of text, all I really saw was the phrase “sweet tits”.

Cody Smith

Anti-Cannoli Mike without bullshit takes? What universe is this??? Jk bro, you're hilarious to hear chime in on the MSPH stuff.

jesse demers

Didn't he just pay a guy hundreds of dollars to wait in line for him at the DMV?

Anti-Cannoli Mike

My bullshit takes are always straight from the heart, just like my takes on this whole situation. I always call a spade a spade, unless it would be racist to do so.

Prognosis

Check out the mad scientist party hour podcast for the real story behind Kevin's firing. It's sad they had to make up a story about Kevin not pulling his weight. He brought the comedy. The show is a downer now.

Cody Smith

If we could get a podcast of just Bing-Bong School Stories, I’d pay extra, even if its just rehashings….

reid Jamison

Nice work getting rid of kevin you just lost another Patreon canceling immediately

Tina Lloyd

Tully's bad news...seriously...how petty. No one can beat Droopy.

Anti-Toxin

Weird thing to attack his marriage.

Anti-Toxin

Not saying you're wrong, but buying isn't always the best solution for everyone in every situation.

Anti-Cannoli Mike

So when you fire that guy, are you then going to go tell your customers how he never contributed to your business?

Mike Murphy

Well, I'm gone. Jason Ellis with you 3 was my go to, Awesome World isn't though. I'll miss it....

Andy Yanok

I remember when Josh and Tully were not on the show anymore and how bad I felt. But still kept listening, will keep listening until I’m bored with it lol.

ROB

Such Dickheads. God forbid Jason take a paycut because HIS show is losing patrons. Enjoy the nice new house and expensive car and lifestyle Jason. Not on my dime though. Typical LA douchebag.

Jonathan Hurly

This makes me incredibly sad… I would love to imagine a future where there is a place for Kevin on the show. I hope we can eventually get to that place.

ROSEHORSE

It's been a great 10+ years that I've been listening and loving the show, thank you for every hour the team has given us. I wish the best for Jason and Tully's future endeavors.

Molly

You're a douche. Just..FYI.

Molly

"They broke" come on, fuck off.

Molly

Are you acting like $20k split three ways minus what they pay for sponsors is enough salary for any one of them living in California? Moron

Donnie Loggins

20k a month? Yes. Yes i am. Your a real peach out here name calling. Grow up.

Anti-Cannoli Mike

Right, because Kevin would have definitely been on a baseball field if it wasn’t for the show. Don’t be pedantic

Christopher Beeson

Yup same.. loved the show for 8 or 9 yrs now.. without Kevin (and all the other bullshit changes) can't continue to support financially.. I will continue to subscribe to msph patreon, will cancel my jes patreon, and will hope for people to grow up and stop being rich cunts.. if you can't take care of the people that got you there then you don't have the type of loyalty that I can subscribe to...

james s.

LMFAO You needed Kevin to dig deep? How many bits have you come up with? When’s the last time Tully had an original idea? When he ripped off those guitar lines for awesome world and Kiss of Poseidon? I was listening to your old shit the other day, it was great. You were great. But without people to carry you, you suck. You’re not a leader, you’re a leech. You got nothing and the hard times are the opportunity for you to show your character and you’ve fucking shown it. You’re welcome for the last 12 years of me supporting you. The 11 where Sirius babysat you were great, now you just suck.

Stephen douglas

Damn been so busy lately and haven't listened in a while and the first show I come back to is Kevin getting fired. Guess the ellis show is coming to and end it was fun while it lasted.

Chase

Bro you listened to Shaub and ruined ur fucking career. Kevin was the glue holding this shit show together. You’re disgusting. Get the fuck out of here why you still can tully.

Chase

“The guy fixed his phone on the live show, 4 hours a week” Idk what happened to you Jason

Chase

Your show is failing because you are a pessimist, whiny man. You really fucked up here man.

Ricardo Montoya

Damm stucks Kev.. But business is business..

Ricardo Montoya

Les gooooo Jason.. Till the wheels fall off.. You rock!!

Paul Conti

Holy shit. This blows. Jason could've stopped living a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget and everything would've been fine. No clue how to manage money. Like a child with Monopoly money. Fuck sake. I dropped from $15 tier to the $5 just to hear this all go to hell soon. Awesome world was just audio depression from day 1. Stopped listening to that a while ago. Wtf man. This show was awesome and I need it in my life. Now I'm not sure what will fill the void. I would say MSPH but the 2 dipshits on there with Kevin are fuckin morons. Well shit...
