Net54baseball Banquet at the National 2019 - RSVP THREAD - Friday 8/2/19

I just want to commend Josh Evans of Lelands for having the guts of getting up their and responding to some really tough questions from the crowd. He alone was worth the price of admission.

Josh had no obligation to get up on the mic.

It was much appreciated.

Are you the idiot who sued PSA for like 8K?

$4800 excuse me. Lawyers who sue companies for $4800 shouldn’t be running their mouths. They should be trying to figure out how to pay the mortgage.

I just don’t get the big mouth behind someone’s back. Be a big boy and say it to their face. Didn’t anyone teach you jealousy is a very ugly trait? I mean no one makes fun of you because you’re unsuccessful do they? So why start?

I too enjoyed meeting and listening to Josh. I believe what Adam was joking about was the irony of the statement as there was no "price of admission". The event was free. After watching Adam's stand up routine at the event and speaking with him at length (Hi Adam) I certainly get the feeling he isn't the sort to hide behind a keyboard.

Exactly. It was an unintentionally backhanded compliment.

Still don't get it. "Worth the price of admission" isn't literal in the original context, is it? It's just an idiomatic expression. Maybe I'm obtuse.

The dinner is free. I'm sure nothing was meant by the original statement it was just being used as an expression, and Adam just enjoyed it because, well, it's amusing that someone said he was worth the price of admission when there was none. Man everyone is uptight.

EDIT:OK this is why you should read the whole thread before posting. What they said^

PS. Adam, are you doing stand up professionally? I did for a while a million years ago while I was acting. Wish I could've heard you!

Because admission is free. It is a very old joke.
