FULL RESPONSE | SaVon & Alex Address The R&M Situation | "Misplaced Energy"

[@azaelandy04]

I went back to the episode and Alex pretty clearly said “they were (Rory and Mal) discussing the workflow, feeling overworked and how we can move things around” … “why y’all coming to us (Savon & Alex) like I’m a worker” So yea he definitely painted a narrative

[@Giddywiddy]

But in context it makes sense as he was referring to the content of the discussion not necessarily who started it

[@me7659]

Are ppl getting caught up on the working? Maybe Mal and Rory said something like “like we don’t get paid enough, we are working a lot” and Alex took it as them being “underpaid and overworked.” Technically maybe Mal and Rory didn’t use the word “overworked”. Bc I am pretty damn sure that Rory and Mal have expressed those feelings since leaving

[@nicolebabi1314]

@@me7659exactly! Semantics and context. Alex did not lie. They tried to say he did just bcuz they didn’t use those words. But the point is the took that they were getting alighted by Joe from the conversation. I mean the fact that they said Joe stole kinda supports that POV.

[@JRMR-td1tm]

Parks even said Alex and Savon did re-imagine the story and he was also upset about the narratives! And still this whole time Alex was acting like he never said it.. would’ve been nice for Savon to have played that specific portion of the pod back for Alex to allow him to speak to it

Goddman man it's not that complicated. Alex said that Rory and Mal were the ones that came to them talkin bout being overworked and underpaied. And Rory and Mal responded that that was not true.

Accountability zero from Alex. Grow up

[@casherj1]

The reason they called you liars is because of how this conversation again was handled. You said that Alex's words were taken out of context. Words were not taken out of context, Alex clearly stated "People were talking about how Rory and Mal were discussing work flow and being underpaid and overworked." So the flow of the conversation from that point carried the feeling that Rory and Mal were leading the sentiment of the meeting by feeling those things and were venting to you guys and the other people present. That narrative came off stronger because Alex kept stating "Im just an employee and I dont know whay they were saying that to me." Which again paints the picture Mal and Rory were pushing ALL 3 topics when maybe the reality is they were in agreement with workflow but the pay and overwork was Savon and other employees. The fact that you guys breezed over this reality again is exactly why it comes off like you did not want to full be transparent. I think you did a great job in the interview with Joe and offered great push back. It even seemed at the beginning of this episode that you were going to hold Alex accountable for "maybe accidentally" mispeaking. But if I had the animosity those guys have towards for what Joe did to them and you guys mischaracterized the conversation that led to it all I would be just as hot. Focusing all your attention on their reaction to your mistake was another mischaracterization and how it made you feel took away from any attempt at clearing things up and felt like you were letting your co host off.

Still can’t understand why Savon didn’t tell screen man to clean that ishhhhhhh up.

[@404_skynotfound7]

Damn, yall had another good opportunity to grow as podcasters. You knew when you had Joe on that it would be messy and salacious. The meeting was not portrayed properly on your podcast. The most neutral person, Parks, just shut this whole gaslighting session down. As a fan, it sucks that neither of you could simply apologize for the miscommunication you instigated. And side note, you needed Regi to hold you both accountable.

[@Izzyduzitt]

Let’s not do this fellas. Instead of running with this narrative, Alex could have retracted and apologized for putting the overworked/underpaid on R&M’s jackets. It’s really that simple. They went on record the last JBP podcast they ever did that they never felt that way. Let’s do a better job next time. Hopefully we can still see a WYNTK/R&M crossover sometime in the future when tensions have died down

[@lifestylemood]

25:17 Mals gripe which he said several times .. He has NEVER went to anyone & said he felt overworked & underpaid. YOU Alex .. Had said both bare & minimum went to YALL to complain . Lying on recorded podcasts is absolutely nasty work

[@Ibeenflew]

Y'all gon have to try this again.

[@teeb2849]

Yea Alexis definitely made that narrative sound crazy. Like Mal and Rory were at the meeting teary eyed and upset 😂😂😂😂

[@georgebrobbey6882]

The response here is definitely lacking accountability and being very obtuse at the same time. Savon and Alex definitely lied and didn’t tell the story in its entirety. Parks even called it out. Parks said it on the JBP (episode 673 - ‘55m:32sec’ mark) for anyone who wants to catch it. Y’all ain’t slick. Alex is trying to be VERY slick. PARKS: “Joe went up there with Savon and mistold the story. I understand the other gentlemen’s (Rory and Mal) reason for frustration with that…I was ALSO UPSET ON HOW THIS WAS REITERATED, RETOLD. They left out some key details…. They (R&M) have a right to be mad at that”.

[@ricardonieves2543]

Man parks snitching to Joe is the catalyst for all this it doesn’t matter his intent when you fire a gun to kill someone and it hits the wrong person first you still caught 2 bodies with the intent of catching 1 if parks just stfu and rolled with the other WORKERS instead of snitching to the boss for whatever reason I think shit doesn’t turn out like this

[@yungotcha]

its not about it being salacious its about you saying something that wasn't said ALEX lol even parks said on joes pod that yall lied about stuff .. just say yalll made a mistake and continued on

[@deewoodz2828]

Alex isn’t understanding that he made it seem like THEY (R&M) said that they were overworked and underpaid. The theme of the meeting can be being overworked/underpaid but it doesn’t mean that THEY (R&M) were the ppl to say it. SaVon is right that two things can be true. There was a convo but they didn’t say what you said that they said. It’s very simple.

[@KanyeReborn]

You lied and Parks said it too, this whole long drawn out explanation could’ve been resolved with simply “I lied, I’m sorry”

[@diddy2612]

He wants respect to call his name but he flat out lied on them is hilarious

[@cboys4eva]

It seems like where things went left is that the narrative in the streets is that Rory & Mak LED the charge on the "overworked and underpaid" angle when it seems like all of y'all were just talking about it that day. Joe has said, it's some things he could of done better and I think this is one of them. None of y'all knew what the plan was ,especially with the extra Patreon shows added to the mix. Then it just blew up from there. The vibe changed, R & M wanna see accounting, words back and forth etc. I hope y'all stay cool, I listen to all three pods and success to all you dudes

[@domino8995]

And from watching the whole episode I don’t understand how anyone can take it out of context. It seems like being overworked and underpaid was a speaking point in the whole conversation. I don’t think Alex went into the interview saying “ima make a narrative about Rory and Mal”. The episode didn’t have any of that energy whatsoever
