"I don't care about money. This aint about money"
"I'm not taking my friends to court. I'm not auditing my friend"
"fukk the money, fukk the podcast, you aint gonna try to make me look like a nut ass nikka. It's all about respect"
"I told them I don't want the money, give it to the other guys on the crew"
"I told him fine, lets do the show for free, its about the friendship"
These are all quotes that these guys said in this video, and these are just the ones I remember. Bro...what world are they living in?!?
If you're trying to be the best friend in your treehouse crew in 3rd grade then you should follow these quotes. In multi-million/billion dollar business tho, wtf are these dudes talking about?! Corporate is dirtier than the dope game. There are no ethics, no morals, etc... in big business. There's a reason most friends/family that go into business together usually fail miserably, it's too confusing and ill-advised to blend Personal and Business. shyt, Nino Brown taught us that, you'd think these two gangster movie/rap music fantasy honor code having ass dudes would understand that, lol
Think about it, Budden would "sue the pants off" of his friends, will continue to produce a show without his friends if they leave to keep business flowing, will deny them access to the books so he can keep them in the dark, and will publicly lie and ridicule them to make himself look good and them look bad...Rory and Mal, on the other hand, won't take their friends to court, "don't care" about money or the podcast (even though they said the issue is they're percentage earners, not salary earners, and need access to the books so they know how and how much they should be getting compensated off of the podcast. Sounds like they care), and honor their friendship more than business. SMH! How can't they/everyone see that they're operating at a disadvantage??? It's like they're playing basketball by the rules and trying to beat someone who is travelling, double dribbling, making his basket bigger, goaltending, using steroids and wearing a jetpack...in a NO RULES game... you trying to play by the rules with a dude who only cares about winning by any means, shyt is kind of sad.
Integrity is for idiots to Corporate bro, believe that, that's that bullshyt you only act like you're about to the consumers to get them to like you and support (spend). I feel bad for Rory and Mal because I can tell they're good people, and I believe them 1000%...but I think they're more suited for 9 to 5's...or just being hanger on's or sumn, for real. Budden morphed into a shark/snake...he used yall fans thinking he was anti-industry and trying to fight the good fight to become what he always wanted to be, industry af and rub shoulders with the dudes yall woulda thought he hated, lol.
