He would rather be a “big” fish in a little pond. Or maybe flying under the radar so no one he respects would ever even notice him enough to judge him.
There is something about him that makes him incredibly uncomfortable with any kind of rise in success. His ego is to blame, but that isn’t the cause. I know you retards are going to point to that, but it’s a deeper psychological issue WITH his ego.
He has constantly self sabotages every bit of mild success he has had. He couldn’t even handle a podcast with Harlan, which if it had gone well, would have lead to a more podcasts, and more main stream attention. He can excuse it away all he wants, but had that gone well Nick wouldn’t have been on Kill Tony by himself. (I still find it hilarious that Nick was invited to do it explicitly without Sam.)
The second he got attention from Saint Rogies with his new “talk show”, he ruins it by turning it into nothing by poor attempts at comedy, interviewing clearly insane people, and completely dropping off his “every Saturday night” schedule.
Rate me dumb for sperging about it here and not his own thread. But, as many others have said, Fishtank will do way better the further he stays away from it.
