[@carsonhayward5903]

My synopsis: Mal - Hard realization that business and friends don’t mix. Roary - Understands business but didn’t think it would come to this because of friendship. Joe - Business is business nothing personal. “So What!?”

[@ogdecky-fortnitevrclips2230]

👌🏾

[@HighTopJop]

Basically

[@bbkingme8831]

No. Its thiss. Mal. I was round u when u was broke living with me for years. I joined because u asked me to. And made nd helped the podcast grow. Rory. Nothing to say. Just look at how joe disrespects rory and says shut up rory all the time. And say i wont let a person like u talk to me like that. But when rory responds the same, joe says rorys trippn theyre supposed to be friends. Bjt joe only disrespects rory and tslks down to him. Joe. I want money. I want the status. I wanna be big time. I love this life and i will cut off my friends to keep the money for the moment going. Moral of story. Joe should kno money and things dont last forever. He takes his rap career failure and overshoots everything. I see a fake dude in joe. That want attention and is delusional.

@@bbkingme8831 LOL no. Original comment is correct.

[@MacLethal]

I don't listen to this show very often. Maybe once every few months. But I just listened to the first 30 minutes of Mal and Rory venting their feelings, and the first thing Joe did is launch into his tirade about Jay-Z saying "So what?" I immediately cut it off. Guys, end this shit while y'all still have your dignity. Joe did not gain the perspective from this, that y'all did. It's over.

[@TheDroneZoneIRL]

Damn, what up Mac! Good perspective, Joe seems like he holds a grudge and hasn't matured at all from this. Better for them all to call it a day before they lose their friendship.

[@ishort8401]

False. Rory and Mal are actually the two insensitive ones and obv they were plotting for a min. it’s easy to lead someone to act a certain way and then “call” them out for the action that you created.

[@CityUnderSiegeTV]

When did y’all think he was a sensible guy? Lol have y’all not been following his career? Dudes been a maniac

[@TheCNSR]

@@ishort8401 My thoughts have nothing to do with Rory and Mal, so you can save the chat about sensitivity. Listening to Joe, he was talking like he doesn't value honour or loyalty.

[@CityUnderSiegeTV]

@Joseph Brandon you’re right. He’s literally ALWAYS been this way. Joe Budden pretty much created the love and hiphop culture with all his internet drama. He is literally one of the first to be a celeb and have his drama continuously aired out on social media. We know too much about Joe to ever think one day he’s going to wake up a mentally and emotionally stable man.

In a nutshell. On one hand Joe let them come back even though everyone on this thread knows the show was gonna be successful without them. On the other a fucked up way to show Rory whos runs this shit! But who should have sat who down first. They both were wrong for they way they handled their emotions.

It makes me sick that ppl still support Joe Budden! This D+ rapper now turned businessman is nothing but a black eye on black ppl. Facts! Why isn't joe being cancelled?

Joe really said that he’d doesn’t respect his friends. This guy wonders why the fans call him a narcissist and why his relationship fail continuously. He also told Rory to stay at home but then accuses him of giving up on the podcast and sabotage him. He doesn’t understand what the word accountability means. Joe needs to realize that he’s the common denominator amongst all these failed relationships.

[@KC-nh6be]

That's not what he said. He said no one is "owed" respect but he chooses to do so

[@Laura-fv1oe1]

How he tried to make the argument that respect isn't owed amongst friends, and then turns around and accuses them of "abandoning the show." I love Joe but he is truly unbearable. When Mal said Joe told him the pod is none of his business and Joe didn't bat an eye was very telling. He doesn't respect them at all, but anything less that blind allegiance he takes personally. He absolutely is a narcissist.

You said everything i was thinking. The sad part is we knew before hearing them discuss the incident that it was Joe who f'd it up. The comments on the first 2 episodes with Ice, and Ish was majority of fans saying Joe did/said something stupid. Its his track record. He NEVER takes accountability when he screws stuff up. All he does is make excuses, or try to convince us its not him. I love the POD, but Joe has to come back down to earth. He has let fame and money go to his head. Why would you risk ppl who genuinely got your back?

[@emprodabob]

Joe told Mal the business of the pod isn't any business of his and Joe said he doesn't owe his friends respect... This ain't lasting long

[@jayburnham3994]

When Joe tried to reach him for 3 days then he randomly showed up to the pod to press Joe in from of parks and sayvon howd that go... I need the details of that convo because I'd prolly tell mal to same thing. It's like yo I tried to reach you but you purposely ignored me to try and use some type of embarrassment tactic. And not only are you no longer asking about rory like you claimed, you reading these comments online so you came to talk business? I thought you were the cool guy. Nothing matters because your set.

That’s Joe tho. He’s emotional, unstable and arrogant. He’s a joke. Idek why people care to listen to any opinion he has. Dude can’t accept he chose the wrong lane, was a failure compared to his peers (because of his personality) and he’ll always self-destruct. Joe made everything about Joe without even once considering their feelings which sums up Joe as a person. Joe loves Joe and has blinders on for any criticism; constructive or otherwise!

[@DJSkandalous]

I don't know whose right or whose wrong. But if Joe thinks these dudes are replaceable and he can play musical chairs, then just let Mal and Rory go start their own podcast. Why threaten them with a lawsuit if they do their own thing before a year is up? You fired them! Seems like Joe is afraid he will lose some of the audience. But I do agree that Joe's name is what boosted the podcast at the beginning. But it's the chemistry of the 3 that made it grow to the level it is.

Joe just used that as an excuse to negate from how hes behaved in this blow up. Textbook narcissist move. 1. Jay z aint a friend or owes you anything 2.if you truly felt a way at them laughing... explain why that moment was so important to you after that exchange happened. You dont sit on something that happened that you didnt like to then use it as a catalyst for your actions years later. Thats corny. 3. There's no scenario in the world where the respect level with a stranger in the street and a friend should be the same. As friends you owe it to each other to maintain the respect level between each other IF you deem them a friend and they have earned that from the years of the Friendship. The biggest takeaway from all this Joe doesn't view Rory and Mal as equals or partners.. so its never gonna be quite the same again. Rory and Mal need to part ways from the business side and at least try and mend there personal friendship.

Establish whether yall boss/employee, or partners even if its not equal partners. 48:11 This dude Joe could have been no clearer he does not value yall, whole podcast he cringed when you guys said our podcast, what happened was inevitable. And the same way he tucked those feelings, he tucked the jay z feelings, which are now manifesting themselves. If he as a "man" didnt have to "tuck" his feelings these are conversations that could have been had which is what I feel Rory and Mal keep trynna get at. I think Budden has every right to feel their contribution inferior to his but discuss that and either allow them to take up more responsibility putting the ball in their court or acknowledge you dont find their value to your show to warrant changing of the status quo. This was all one big uncomfortable airing of grievances and communication I feel that Joe never would have had without the platform of the pod. This exact convo needed to have happened off air. Its simple miscommunication Rory and Mal feel like theyve contributed to what the channel has become, would perhaps like more of a stake, and if anything to at least see their compensation to revenue earned. Budden clearly doesnt view them as essential, he sees them as people he gave a platform for their betterment and now their trying to come up off his kind gesture (essentially I'm paying them in exposure), that he is the big name, the famous one, the one people come to see, and finally "shake the tree" yall are judas's trynna finesse him. Once again all fair points and fears but things he should have voiced, especially if they consider themselves friends. This isnt just on him its on society men cant really expressed anything other than superficial feels or they stand to lose competitive advantage or expose themselves to betrayal its always been a dog eat dog world. Combine that with how dirty the music industry does artist I get it, this is a product of enviroment and experiences, sadly the same traits that are causing rifts like this are the same ones that helped him get where he is. theres a reason the most successful arent always the most likeable behind the scenes.

@@sweetiesweetss I don't think they were delusional or lazy I just don't think that anyone set clear boundaries or had the balls to air shit out properly leading to this cluster fuck. All parties involved to blame imo but I still put more weight on Joe. Also Joe was the first person to say he don't honor contracts so Mal being frustrated and saying fuck that contract is warranted to me at least. But to address the lazy thing I do agree with what Joe said them coming in and recording for 2 hours and leaving and that being their contribution is not enough to Warrant certain things. I believe I said this in my earlier comment but if I didn't what should have happened was when they express their concerns and desires a conversation should have been had where he was like well look I feel like I've done everything for this and the amount of compensation/involvement you guys want is not proportional to the amount of work you contribute.

@@megmur1766 I'm not going to call Joe a bad boss. I don't think he has enough experience yet to call it. I also don't agree that that the issue is slowly and emotional one. I think the issue emotions stem and frustration stem from having a philosophy that contradicts and is in conflict with the responsibility that he has. Joe wants to be a boss that doesn't act like a standard industry boss. Joe wants to have a business that doesn't have the standard industry rigors. Joe wants to have friends that he dose business with, without defining the parameters of the business. All those contradictions are causing the conflict which brings about the emotions. Eventually, really soon Joe is going to have to come up with a way to handle these contradictions. Mal is going to actively fight against any displine the shows going to need to continue to reach a new level of success, as he dose now. There is no way a human can't have emotions in that situation.

RIGHTTTT Joe talks about/to Rory like he isn't deserving of his presence/respect. He treats him like he’s beneath him and not even IN THE ROOM.. honestly if this is how he treats the people he loves I don't wanna see how he treats the ones he hates.

This is still where the pod went downhill. Now it’s way less fun because everyone is very aware that they need to adhere to Joe. And Joe still just views them as pions. It still has its moments but it’s never been the same.

[@Beezy844]

Honestly don’t know how they ,specifically Mal, move on from this and pod like normal. That friendship ain’t gonna ever be like it once was. It’s not genuine anymore.

[@Subgenrelol]

I know a lot of us clown on Mal sometimes, but he gets the absolute utmost respect for handling the situation how he did, and riding with his friend when Joe was wylin. Parks looks a liiiiittle funny but whatever.

[@tds_fiji2981]

No, He sighned a contrac then got in his feelings over the same contract he signed. Business and life is tough get the fuck over it. He's wrong.

[@zandrrlife]

You never ran a business before then. They’re employees. Mal sounds crazy for saying the podcast should have stopped because people in their feelings. This a million dollar business. Livelihoods depend on. I don’t respect it. But then again. I’m a business owner.

He doesn’t lol. He only wants to hear what will benefit him or agree with his narrative. He’s shown many times in the past and now if you don’t automatically agree with what he says he’s done with you whether you’re boys family business partners whatever. He’s just destructive in every way. Manipulative, narcissist, liar and backstabber. That’s not just an opinion either if you watched joe buddens career and can’t see that you’re blind. Just another great thing on a big list that joe has single handedly ruined.

I feel like Joe doesn’t listen to really hear what they are saying , he’s just waiting for his turn to speak so he can tell them why they are wrong. That’s cringe af 🤦🏽‍♂️ of course you owe a certain level of respect to your friends , if you call someone your friend that’s no small title , Joe must use the term “friend” really lightly.

[@Beamken]

Based on the way I see Joe treat Rory it’s one of those “friendships” where they just keep you around as a laughing stock, Joe goes out of his way to clown Rory at times

The pod never started as a boss-employee thing. It was friends building this together just because they started getting major deals and Joes name was plastered on doesn’t mean he can now talk to them like they’re his workers.

[@jakiee]

Tbh, I think Joe doesn’t understand friendship. I don’t know if it’s because of his past traumas or unresolved issues. But he just seems like someone who keeps friends around just to make sure people don’t cross him. Then he turns around and does the things that he’s afraid of his “friends” doing to him. Joe doesn’t see them as friends. It’s not because he doesn’t believe that they’re his friends. He just doesn’t know how to treat them and he doesn’t care to learn. He lives to make a point and be overly logical.

[@shutchins2549]

Joe needs to speak to someone about boundaries, narcissistic tendencies he has and the FACT that he does not get to choose what RESPECT is to others.... Joe acts like he is never wrong. The way he speaks to folks is a hot mess at times. He comes off like he doesn't care about anyone fr
