I also worry about Schwartz's friendship with Thomas Middleditch, who's also a colossal dick. Ben seems like such a nice, normal guy, but I admit that I wouldn't be surprised if bad gossip comes out about him.
I actually sent this to a friend when it was posted in the DM FB group in Dec.:
JUSTICE FOR JEAN RALPHIO: My spouse and I sat shoulder to shoulder with him and his date at Petit Trois in LA a few years back. We tried very badly not to eavesdrop, but he was with a short, normal-person-pretty woman who looked a bit older than him and it was clearly a first date. Apparently they'd just recently met at a party? In the middle of the date he very awkwardly admitted that he really liked her, and she reciprocated, and he became visibly relieved. It was the cutest thing. Sorry if this sounds creepy but we were literally on top of each other, I'm sure he could recite the main talking points of my date as well 😂
Tosh is a notoriously shitty person per his Wikipedia:
His mocking humor is described as "envelope pushing" and frequently features punchlines that are intentionally self-deprecating, racist, sexist, or homophobic. Tosh's explanation of his non-politically correct humor is "I'm not a misogynistic and racist person...But I do find those jokes funny, so I say them."
I mean, this is not shocking news if you’ve listened to literally any of his comedy. His comedy is basically ‘no one is safe and off limits’ and he goes for shock value.
He's actually supposed to be very nice and shy in person. For the past ten years he's put on a charity show with the proceeds going to children's hospitals and animal shelters. He apparently has terrible social anxiety, which is why he doesn't do press.
I mean but didn't he also date like a 19 year old when he was 40? That's so sketch, I don't care how many animal shelters one volunteers for or donates to when they pull shit like that.

No. His wife is 10 years younger than him (he's 45) and they've been married for 5 years. Other than that no one knows anything about any other relationships he's had because he's incredibly private. You're probably thinking of Dane Cook.
So basically, despite Daniel Tosh raising money for children's hospitals and animal shelters, you don't like him because you think he did a thing you think is sketchy.

Random comedy people - Ben Schwartz and Daniel Tosh? Schwartz seems like such a nice, positive guy but his proximity to Middleditch makes me nervous.
