Joe matarese started a fan donation page on some website to raise 2k for him to "begin his dream of acting" by making 3 short films based on stories from his fixing joe podcasts.

The surprising part is somehow he has raised over 700 dollars for it.

This guy cant really afford to spend 2k on making some lame shit nobody cares about?

Jim Norton knows a little about stealing from dumb fucks on the internet.

But not from us! No siree!

10 Patrons, he probably hounded his family like one of those multi-level marketing people.

Probably said "opportunity" a bunch

You don't want to be your own boss with unlimited income potential?

noooooooooooo

The first and last time I listened to his podcast, his Patreon was brand new. I'm so happy to see the level it's grown to.

The more I learn the more I'm shocked I am at what a poor excuse of a man he is. Classic beta male

As opposed to you being a super alpha male posting pictures of his kids on reddit?

100% his wife has cheated on him at least once, if not more.

He was watched by millions on America's Got Talent. If a man that's been in comedy for 29 years can't leverage that into some kind of career... maybe get one of those sales jobs that stable looking 50 year olds get after being made obsolete in their old jobs... maybe a small logistics company where they sit at a small cubicle with 20 somethings, as opposed to an office... he'll say it's so he can 'be in the shit' with his team, but everyone knows it's because he gets paid 30k and has 0 skills whatsoever.

this guy spent almost 30 yrs floundering and failing at the same thing ... he would be perfect for independent short films

Joe "DeRosa" Matarese

DeRosa, Matarese, and Opie should all combine talents on a project. By project, I mean they should get together and live stream them all eating cyanide capsules.

One of the stories is about 'Joe'. a journey-man comic who wants to do a pilot for a TV show. He gets three far superior talents to help and soon finds he's out of his depth as both a comic and host.

He doesn't get that the fixing Joe concept sucks. He thinks it's an interesting hook but it comes off contrived and lame. Just use your podcast so that people get a sense of who you are so that they might come to your shows or tune in when you appear on radio, tv and podcasts. From listening to him with Dipaolo and others, he seems like an alright dude and family man who's a fun hang when he's with friends. That's your hook, Joe. Enough already with forcing that neurotic wannabe Alan Alda horseshit. The only problem that needs fixing is why you keep pretending you have all these problems you don't seem to really have.

Fixing Joe will never be Ron and Fez's Advice Show

The advice show....... (saxophone)

Better than trying to raise 60k for a non-existent cartoon, by offering to tweet stupid things from a parody account. But seriously, what ever happened to saving up and putting in your own money into something you believe in?

Investing your own money? That's for squares. You want to pay a millionaire and soften the risk from them, don't you?

in jim's case, he's close to a millionaire. in joe's case, it's 2 fucking thousand dollars.

Fair point. You turned me around on this. He's living off of his wife's income. She's probably had her fill of supporting that unfunny fuck for 25 years. He needs to get the money somewhere.

That $700 probably came from the Pakistani radiologist who's banging his wife.

She is knee-deep in curry dicks.

I hope Rebecca Kush knows how to play a cunt, I'm counting on realism from this project

It's one project that consists of 3 short films based on premises that the fans pick from his podcast episodes. *We are shooting them all in 1-2 days to keep the shoot affordable. *

This is gonna go great.

Yea that's not gonna happen. I shoot music videos and promos at the level he is looking to shoot his garbage and 1-2 days is a 3 minute video at best. Not 3 shorts.

Even his doctor wife won't lend him 2k.

Over 800$ per creation and here I am using my camera, lenses and computer for free!

If he would just promise more shows with cumia, artie and jim we'd crowd fund his terrible movie immediately

His wife is an Assistant Professor of Neuropsychology at Columbia University in Manhattan. According to various sites she gets around $100,000 a year. And he's asking us bums to give him 2k? Someone should "fix" him alright.

He was a bad boy last year, his wife didn't give him allowance for that.
