Tbh outside of showing up they didn’t contribute nothing, they were talent. It cost money to run a podcast. To be salty at the people behind the scenes working their asses off to make sure the pods looks professional is some corny shytMy understanding is they had a contract. They got paid based off that contract. They were employees. Nothing less nothing more. Joe owned everything and felt there was no questioning to why he owned everything (the podcast is named after him). Joe's the boss, Mal and Rory were the employees. That's his view on it. For them to even ask for anything else when they have a contract, Joe feels is disrespect.
your man said he was on a muscle relaxer so thats why he just let Mal and Rory get their shyt off on that episode without any real pushback
"Marissa was my assistant, lived with me, fell in love so we ended that but kept close friends."
"yous lived together" - Parks... "No! He lived with me", "Mal was buying detergent and keeping it in his room"
"Rory came at the end of the road...I don't know you"
lmao...nah, this guy is nuts.
it had been insulting to him that Rory wanted to own part of it since it before the Spotify deal.
Joe been lowkey had a distaste at stuff Rory and Mal were arguing all the way back at first things Spotify were demanding. especially Rory.
hes treating Mal like a bum but what the hell happened that he has all of a sudden wanted to air Rory out ?
said if Rory was there, he wanted to ask Rory if he was a liar, did he mean to dislead etc.

their salaries were six figures... wtf you talking about? they wanted ownership and cuts from every pot. that doesn't meant they were "not getting paid"

any of yall who expected anything BUT this out come, obviously never listed to the Mood Muzik series.

Parks a bytch too...play both sides ass nikka
Ironic considering Parks was supposed to be the "thug" white boy of the crew, who was the only person not afraid to stand up to Joe.But what about creator equity?My understanding is they had a contract.

both came on for free because they wanted to be there you can't complain in hindsight shyt make no sense . the unpaid years were before the deals. how can you get paid with no deals? you realize mostly every podcast start off doing it free. drink champs, combat jack etc until they get sponsors and an eventual deal... the upaid years are part of the process that's why they got spotify monies and the money they were getting now for sticking it out. their discrepancy is in claiming that they should have ownership of whatever it is they built together. joe believe the network is his solely. you arguing about the grind process at the start makes no sense.That’s all whatever in a vacuum but it doesn’t fly when we add the context of Joe’s supposed views on “Creators”. Joe practically signed his own people to a bad deal while condemning every corporation in existence for signing people to bad deals.
This nikka in a nice ass house with a personal chef, going on vacation while his guys aren’t seeing any steady income from the work they’re putting in.
If Joe was about what he speaks on, Rory and Mal would’ve never been in this situation to begin with.
My nikka, there’s before and after the Spotify deal. Joe even says that Rory asked for a cut of YouTube years ago. That deal doesn’t negate all the rest of those seemingly unpaid years.![]()
These creators gotta ask themselves, "if Joe would do that to them, what would he do to me if things go left "
