niggas do work to survive. that is true. but not niggas who have the skills / education / opportunities / network not to. Rory and Mal overestimated their value to the pod

This is a dumb comparison when Joe was making it. Podcast isn’t the corporate world. So the rules don’t apply. Some of the s*** Joe has said to people who work with him on the pod, would not fly at all with HR in the corporate world.

Podcasting for right now, is still mostly freelance work. Your reputation might take a hit if you just go MIA (which they didn’t) but if you got skills, the work is always gonna come.

Podcast structure varies so much it isn’t applicable at all.

when u can sell anything niggas will try to sell everything

i doubt an audit would have revealed any sort of tax BS. especially since they said they have a licensed accountant handling the books. no licensed individual is gonna risk their career and license to help Joe avoid taxes. Joe should have opened the books to them. And it seems he did. But unless their pay was based on profit participation, there really isn't a need to show them

this is NASTY

"Podcasting isn't corporate"

Yall shooting for the stars now

he literally told them niggas take a break then got mad they took a break lmaooo

as long as there isn't a strict federal number. even within states, rural california or rural texas is very different cost-wise than Austin or Dallas

this sounded better in my head lmao but i’m happy more people are seeing the flaws in capitalism

I find is fascinating how certain posters itt taking Joe’s word as fact on this without a second thought, when there are 400+ episodes of the podcast that show you that Joe is a gaslighter, and master of spin

if Joe ends up doing the pod by himself im still tuning in

I hear you, but I think his point was that they’re picking and choosing when to lean on the friendship.

Ayoooo

Like literally the return episode with Rory & Mal is a first hand example of how Joe gaslights, but y’all taking his world as law, without even wanting to hear Mal & Rory’s side of things

So if I work for cashapp/spotify etc I'm not corporate? Word?

So basically joe said if mal changes his whole attitude and way of thinking, they can talk about re-entry. But rory is canned for good

He told Rory to take a few pods off, Mal was supposed to go to work

they’ll be fine without the pod, joe will too more than likely but they, or at least rory was not wrong in wanting ownership, and that’s all i got left on the top idc all that much

No... have you ever worked in a corporate setting? It’s not something someone should use as their standard practice for something like podcasting.

Aight now we entering prejudice

Ian is a terrible manager for letting Joe post this episode.

Agreed i keep all my s*** in my room depending on the crowd cause some niggas don’t know how to act
