What was said
"Too many crypto assholes with too much money started buying up the jets chasing too few jets. The number of times there was like, oh, there's a problem, just increased. I never had a good feeling even about the private jet like is there going to be some problem today?"
Maher candidly explains his retirement from standup touring after 40 years was driven by increasing unreliability of private jet rentals, not lack of demand or earnings. He blames cryptocurrency millionaires flooding the market and increased mechanical problems that threatened his Friday night Real Time taping schedule. Maher says he was making substantial money per appearance but anxiety over late arrivals made touring untenable.
