It's because he thinks he's smarter than he really is. He thought he was being forward thinking by not having any sponsors, like he thinks people would legit stop listening if there was a few minutes of ads every podcast.

He went to Spotify with absolutely nothing to show how profitable the podcast was, only numbers he was relying on was the amount of subscribers he brought to Spotify and he didn’t even have those numbers to negotiate his price.

If he had a half dozen or more sponsors he wouldn't have needed Spotify to give up their numbers to show how much money they were bringing in.


The sad part about it is that Rory had this shyt figured out before they got the spotify deal but Joe didn't want him involved in the business side and never considered his advice. People talk about rory being lazy but dude might have been the smartest among them when it came to business.

As boring as rory might be, I feel like he will end up being the sole reason the new podcast is successful because he seems like he goes above and beyond when it comes to projects he's involved in. Lord knows that shyt would be DOA if Mal was calling the shots.
during the time they went on spotify there was very few podcast deals to speak of compared to after so looking back in hindsight you can start picking shyt apart based on what came after and we know today.. the rules were being written by the day. this is revisionist history at best. at the time their deal was actually ground breaking in the industry and this wasn't very long ago :heh:

we gotta stop remixing recent history :comeon:

I think AK getting bigger might be his down fall
If he got his own podcast, with no one to tell him to chill, and going on twitch rants...they going to come for him
he'll be fine since the pod is under his control. he been going on twitch rants that's his schtick. they only came for him when he said something about that beard teigan. and it turns out she was a piece of shyt all along :wow:

trust whoever is signing him to a deal knows who he is and what he's about

You can't blame everything on hindsight when every other podcast worth a damn realized they needed to seek sponsors to create a revenue stream before the big deals started coming. Rory sat next to Joe and tried to explain this shyt for years before spotify, but Joe thought he was playing 3D chess and changing how business works.

Is Akademiks still on that "I'm calling the cops and suing" shyt when it comes to shyt getting physical? If so, continuing to pursue this beef is absolutely corny.

I get that he had right to be upset about someone allegedly dropping a note off at his house, but at this point shyt happened over a year ago. If you aren't going to seek this person out for resolution, you look fukking nuts dedicating this much energy to talking tough about someone you are purposefully never going to go heads up with.

Trying to listen to the pod (Alex Jones beef) but Joe’s constant screaming, gun shots, random r&b music and going round in circles without saying much……is annoying as hell.

Makes me appreciate Rory & Mal’s straight talking, no interruptions, straight to the point conversations much better

The JBP been like that for the last 200+ episodes though, if not more. Why would you be expecting different now?
