The Official Joe Budden Podcast Thread

[RickyGQ]

On the flip side, I’m starting to think that yall don’t think enough of yourselves to think of something like a small equity stake as something you can attain, or even deserve.

It’s very common for startups and other companies to handout equity packages. I’ve had equity stakes in the last 3 companies I’ve worked at and I’m not some C-Suite level executive.

It’s also very common for podcasts of this size to give out equity / ownership to others on the show, even behind the scenes people. Rory and Mal were both there well before the 100th episode, and they’re into the 400s now. They’ve been there for 90% of the growth the podcast has seen.

Just because you don’t value yourself enough to think of something like equity as attainable, don’t project that on other people in other ventures.

Joe’s point was they weren’t done. In the Patreon episode he said how offended he would get when they said they built this when he feels like he’s still building it. His plan is to make his own Bill Simmons network which will get them paid way more. And it appears the other two don’t care for that vision. He’s offended too because he feels like he’s always planned on taking care of them, but they’re jumping out the window now like this at a critical time, fukking up everything he’s building.

No, Joe did not show them the books. He had someone prepare an accounting report. I doubt you understand the difference.

1. Joe is NOT contractually obligated to show them shyt. You seem to be the one with the comprehension issues in here. He did that shyt out of GOOD FAITH

2. If i send over a report and you audit me anyway its because you dont trust what i just sent to you, which i will immediately take as disrespect

You can fukk right off at that point

 

[Clark Wayne]

Yes it does

Well yeah you can, and they can tell you to get the fukk out if they want to.

Thinking just because you have stock in a company you can question how the CEO is running things and ask to see the accounting will get you laughed out the room and have to comeback with a lawyer, which apparently is what’s about to happen.

he should do it on Vlad, BI, or TBC to spite joe

Vlad seems the most realistc...don't think I ever recall hearing mal himself say anything bout vlad....and joe would be livid

You got female tendencies
Mal dissed all those podcasts at one point in time

U gotta have more than 1 good podcast to have a podcast network that’s taken seriously. He had 1 good podcast and he just killed that too.

female tendencies? You been dikkriding forever....you almost as bad as nap.

So?

nikkas at their 9-5 put in mad work and help grow their companies all the time. Doesn’t entitle them to ownership because guess what? They were doing their JOBS.

Comparing their positions to that of a regular 9-5 is disingenuous. Start at any company as one of the first employees/ initial hires that grows from a little business to a booming business and I guarantee the day one 9-5 employees would get equity. You can’t run a successful business the way Joe is trying to. Yes it’s his right to keep all the equity but good luck finding employees willing to work hard for you in a team that small with no cut of the pie. Joe is by far the most important person in the podcast, but if you have a 5 employee team, 2 of which are on air talent with you, you are nuts talking about wanting a 100m bag when you know no one else in that room has a cut. Gotta be the fastest way to torch a business

Y’all nikkas defending Joe’Business sense realize he turned down a 40-50 million dollar bag right? Instead he went to patreon for $10 a head. I don’t see how y’all are making sense of that

Do you know the details of both deals?

When you join something at the growth stages, It's always best to seek equity early on before the content takes off.

You think they would have been better off asking for equity when the shyt becomes a multi million dollar podcast network rather than before a single check or contract was written?

That’s the whole issue. WILL it get them paid more? If so, how? Because they don’t have any ownership or equity stake in it they don’t own any part of their own podcast, let alone a piece of this ‘network’ Joe is building.


So I ask you, Joe’s big dream of being Bill Simmons, Joe Rogan or some other white man with his ‘network’ that really only has attention because of the podcast Rory and Mal helped build. If he someday reaches that point, how would Rory and Mal stand to benefit from it? What they get a raise?!?!?

This 1 podcast equates to 90% of the value of this whole ‘network’ that Joe magically came up with after Spotify told him to fukk off So to say rory and mal would benefit, is you either being wrong or disingenuous

If the writer of the show called in two more nikkas to help him write the show, and the new nikkas brought in slayer Kelly and Jessie, to save that show, yes.

You think the writers get a percentage of the show?
