It was a bad deal to Joe. saw a reddit comment say they werent gonna be able to release on youtube. That's on top of Spotify wanting dibbs or w/e on everybody in the podcasts other ventures. So if he did create his own network, spotify wouldve had their hands in it. even if it was shyt that didnt have anything to do with Spotify.

This is on top of Joe saying Spotify wasnt honoring shyt in the first deal like "showing them the numbers" or w/e joe said and Spotify wouldve ate the lion's share of deals like Prize Picks.

Yeah I think for Joe it was losing to much control over the pod during the deal. Spotify wanted it all and didn't want the pod anywhere else, and for that he probably wanted more money. I can see why he didn't go with it and he is still caking so wasn't all that bad to turn down. I mean after those 2 years God knows where the Pod could have been if the Spotify deal left them with less fans following due to it only being on Spotify and nowhere else.

Without knowing anything about their numbers if they're hitting mid to high 7 digits I don't think they'd care much without having to deal with Joe. It's not like they would've gotten a fair share.
Facts. If anything it shows that they were right that Joe was trying to cut them out of their deal which would’ve given them shares of the profit instead of having them on 1099s like everyone now.

The $20 million is some Forbes Magazine, back of the napkin math to promote the show, and for Ian to promote himself as some kind of mastermind.

Prize Picks is their biggest advertiser and they advertise with just about every popular podcast on earth. Do I think they give JBP a decent amount of money? Yes. Do I think it’s 5+ million? No. Just last year they cut their ads after the NBA season finished. They also run like 2 ads per show, if that. I don’t see the ROI.

They’re making money, a lot of it, but all of this shameless promotion is just goofy in the long run and will only make people go look deeper into what’s going on.

For me I still can't believe shyt Joe says due to how much he lies. He's given so many different versions of what contract Spotify offered while later saying Spotify only made one offer and then his team made a counter that Spotify thought was so ridiculous that they never offered another one.

Also Joe's comments about Spotify wanting a piece of anything the cast did never seemed right to me either. It seemed Joe was trying to keep a separation between Spotify and the cast so that the cast would be kept in the dark about how much Spotify was actually paying.

Joe was right again. Shocker

Also, that article might be lowballing him, and the cohosts too. For tax purposes, yes I make under 200K from this pod 👀. Them numbers ain't accreate, and judging by their reactions on the pod these nikkas are making more than that

Do any of y’all work in audio? How do they remove music from the pods on YouTube while still keeping the audio of them talking?
