Wait Rury and Mealy Mal wanted equity in the Spotify deal and YT revenue but they were getting paychecks instead :mjtf:

Doesn't Joe get furious at these companies for offering money and not equity :mjtf:


So he's doing to them what others are doing to him :mjtf:

Talk about a hypocrite :gucci:

:snoop: you really don't understand

agree and disagree

I think (in Joe’s head) he always saw himself as the “creator” of the podcast, not his friends.

businesses have employees. Employees have paid roles. If (and I don’t know if this is correct or not) Mal and Rory signed contracts to Joe and were getting paid, then he is entirely correct from a business standpoint. No one can go to their boss and say “let me see the splits” and have a reasonable conversation. If Rory and Mal signed employment agreements with Joe (the same as Ian) to work for him, then :yeshrug:

The funny thing is, you know where you’ve been. If you know you’ve never talked to Spotify, if you know you’ve never been privy to YouTube conversations, etc. and Joe is the one doing the heavy lifting as far as negotiations, why would you expect him to owe you a report? It seems like they were completely naive (at 30 and 39 :mjlol:) to how business is done.

If you want equity, make sure you don’t sign an employment contract :manny:

As a friend though, Joe is a scumbag.

Breh, Joe’s YouTube houses the podcast that Rory is an active member of. You’re talking about fallacies, yet you won’t even touch the topic of Joe’s words on how creators should be treated, and how he treated two fellow creators. You would have a better point if this was anyone but Joe “Respect the creators” Budden. You talkin’ about for free off the strength of their friendship, where’s strength of that friendship on Joe’s end? If you and I were friends, you became a member of my podcast for free, the moment I start making money, you start making money, chump change or not. And that’s why I said Rory and Mal aren’t loyal they’re just dumb as hell.
What did they create?

I came to the pod from everyday struggle and i always used to wonder who dude was in the fitted that never talked. I thought it was a joke or some shyt that Mal was there on his phone the entire episode and it was mostly just rory and Joe talking...this is when they were at the old studio.

To come to this point where mal wants equity and saying he built the the house is just really funny to me. Mal is pretty much a soundboard

Why pay $10 a month for something that should clearly be free? That "It's only 10 dollars" attitude is gonna keep you broke bro, lose that attitude towards money and start questioning where every dollar of yours is going.

People with long money are not fans of frivolous spending at all, that's broke folk shyt.

My salary is 90k a year and my business did half a mil last year. Don’t talk to me about money breh. If you can’t come up off $10 to support a product you like then that says a lot about you.

What kind of business :ohhh:

:francis: am not listening to whole thing just clips that are posted, but this narrative i keep hearing in clips of podcasts being super complicated to produce is the opposite narrative of what podcast are about/ what's made them so popular in the past 5 years. You really need nothing but 1. a interesting topic 2. a recording device 3. uploading platform

So this narrative as if Joe is the mastermind behind some HBO type production show is :mjlol:

unsure

my stance is ONLY based on the hypothetical. I don’t know their business. But if they were legally employees then they have no right to question the money :mjlol:

shyts funny... cause a few people here were arguing about how important ownership is and how joe is right and we dont know what we’re talking about etc.

It was obvious that Spotify deal was the beginning of the end fo the pod. Popping bottles for that Patreon deal was a nasty look, turning down triller...leaving your financial future in the hands of Joe Budden was a sure fire way to end up back at the drawing board.

I never would have figured mal and rory would have even gone into that Spotify deal without ownership but now it looks even worse. They were all paid employees this entire time and cool with it, now that rory got hit with that audit and lost dussepalooza he started to get desperate.

He better hope his white khaled album and emotional oranges shyt hit. Mal can go back to being a weed carrier I guess.
charlamagne called this years ago....:dead: thats why he told Akademiks not to put his future in Joe's hands when shyt broke down with complex :russ:
