The Official Joe Budden Podcast Thread

[ML29]

That nick cannon conversation was dumb as fukk.

Two nikkas who were barely in their kids lives explaining how it's not hard to find time to spend with your kids.

Exactly! I almost turned the podcast off when Joe compared raising multiple families to juggling multiple side chicks. He was probably joking but the timing just was aggravating.

Why isn’t the Full episode on YouTube?

 

[Harry B]

Everybody seems to be concerned about joes bag. Hella pocket watching

His bag, contracts, deals, accounting etc. Has been the #1 topic of the pod for over a year. People are discussing the topics of the pod.

Why isn’t the Full episode on YouTube?

Since when they start doing this bullshyt

The decline is real

 

[The Observer]

I’m guessing instead of having 200k views on 1 video, he’s trying to have 200k on multiple clips….either to boost his ad revenue or overall monthly view totals…..which is down 33%

sounds like a solid strategy to me…

If the fanbase is shrinking or becoming more niche send them to more profitable sources ie patreon for full video or apple for higher ranking there.

Joe holds top 3 epiosdes in top 10 of music charts on apple right now (including spot 1 and 2)

if you want to be petty and count rory and mals pod there is 4 joe centric pods in top 10 because people are listening to them because of him.

Call it what you want but thats gravity.

Have never watched on youtube so the show goes on…

I really hope they aren’t breaking the YouTube version up into separate clips out of pride about declining numbers. I like being able to hit play and listen to pods all the way through. It’s getting spooky.

But that’s what the pod is for, just hitting play and listening all the way through

keep it a buck, I haven't listened since Joe fired Rory and Mal.

I liked when Ice and Ish filled in on those few pods but after hearing some of the Patreon episodes I was over them so when Joe went off that episode, I thought yeah, thats a funny way to end it.

the other day I did put the latest episode on when I was eating something and I didn't care for it all.
Joe was still having some bullshyt hypothetical Verzuz discussions he's been having for well over a year now..I didn't care then, I really don't care now.

some pods do become a part of routine.
when you don't listen for a while and go back to it..its easy not to fukk with it like that.

like I said in one of the threads..theres two pods now but I'll end up listening to none of them.

Parks’ ad libs to every single thing Joe says while he’s speaking has become annoying (“Mmm…Hmmm…Uh Huh…Okay”). It’s as if he wants to make sure he’s not a forgotten voice in this whole situation.

We get it, you’re there. Ice and Ish aren’t exactly trying to step over you anyhow.

Parks always did this though ??

he does it to whoever was holding court because he's always been sitting across from the three so they are generally looking at him when talking.

Here's something I'm sure no one threw out there but believe it or not it matters, especially when you're catering and appealing to a younger crowd...Budden with the salt and pepper beard probably turned off madd younger people, lol. Mal and Rory exposing dude was the finishing move but him aging like 10 years in the last year aint helping matters none, aint no youngins tryna watch this shyt...especially now that you added 2 other gray dinosaurs, lol.

Budden should probably think about maturing his content a little bit and move away from the gossip and takes on 20 year old rappers/singers and shyt. Focus more on relationships and business and worldly matters, with his same comedic/brash style...that may require him to actually earn his money and research/learn but I think it could work out, he's a great conversationalist.

his younger audience boomed with Everyday Struggle. some stayed, some left.
I doubt they've broke much ground in new listeners in any capacity, young or old in since before the pandemic.

I’ve said multiple times that Joe should be putting more thoughts into topics and structure of the pod but I guess he wants this to be a reaction pod to current events

 

[OfTheCross]

That Verzuz and topics point is true.

He used to blame R&M for not bringing ideas, but the topics on the pod are incredibly stale of we're discussing hypothetical Verzuz' still

 

[Bay Area]

That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't want to have to click on 5 different clips to watch the whole episode.

That's exactly what I'm saying breh. I don't want to have to click on 5 different clips to watch the whole pod.

But that’s what I’m saying, the pod is the pod, which you can still listen to, they are only breaking up the YouTube clips afaik

I only watch the pod on YouTube. I know it's on soundclound but that's not the way I ever listen to it. The are inconveniencing my preferred method of consuming the pod for a dumb reason.

 

[threattonature]

It’s unfortunate more and more people feel that way, because Ice is funny and it’s hilarious listening to him, but Ish is the most solid 2 mic that Joe has ever had. 1. He knows Joe really well, and will call him out on shyt, and stand on it.
2. He has his own opinions, seems to speak from personal experience, and is not scared to talk about pretty much anything and 3. His perspective is far more “normal” than anyone Joe has had in there.

The sad part is that I do like Ish and Ice individually and Joe can be entertaining as hell but something is off chemistry wise. It may just be needing more time but the show just doesn't flow the way it used to or have the same vibe of friends hanging out. I love that Ish and Ice will flat call Joe out and challenge him.
