Which means all business regarding payments or whatever needs to be spelled out before a dollar of revenue is generated
Revenue (what Spotify was paying Joe
- expenses
= profit

Rory and Mals contract would’ve detailed what qualifies as an expense and what doesn’t. This is where the whole 400k accounting error comes into play.

Joe was claiming there was 400k worth of expenses that reduced profit that Mal and Rory couldn’t verify

Joe has spent decades praising music execs and all the people who fukk over artists. I don't think it's a coincidence he decided to follow in their footsteps when it comes to...creative accounting. End of the day he viewed himself as the talent and his coworkers are little more than independent contractors in his eyes. Not partners, barely even employees.

Rory and Mal seem to be doing well for now. I've only managed to listen to one ep because it's pretty wack and their personalities are so corny, but hey. They got the bag and Mal has connections. Good for them. And clearly Joe is gonna continue plowing along with his "network."

Concrete, Concrete like Greg Street
If we're profit partners I need to see the profits
It's business
Semantics all I’m saying for there to be trust in any business between partners, everything has to be transparent and agreed upon beforehand. Trying to catch up once everyone starts seeing money leads to conflict and mistrust.

I mean he made them profit partners
It was agreed on
It's implicit that you have to know the profits

I have partners in businesses and we each have our accountants look over the financials before we agree on any distributions of profits. And it’s spelled out in our contracts. All I’m saying is if business isn’t discussed in the front end, everything after will be messy.

Buddens brought Mal into podcasting.

Mal never had a real job before and didn't know how expense reports are made and presented. Mal thinks he's been screwed out of thousands.

Now Mal is a podcaster and inks a multimillion dollar deal as a podcaster and is mad at the person who brought him into podcasting.

Buddens is a dirtbag but at the end of the day Mal got into this position by taking the side of an entitled white boy in an argument with his friend.
:mjlol: at mal thinking he popped off the podcast
If you’re an original listener of the podcast, you know it was dead in the water before Mal became a full-time host. Everyone was tired of Marissa and Joe & Rory by themselves was awful. It was trash with no direction whatsoever.

People can say what they want, but Mal’s addition completely changed the trajectory of the show.

The podcast was floundering before Mal jumped on board. He’s far from the sole reason for its success or even the main reason but the dynamic between the three is what made the podcast get popping. I was a day 1 listener. Joe, Rory, Marissa combo was very meh. The highlights were Marissa telling her wild run ins with rappers. The Drake views rant got them some boost but it wasn’t sustainable. After Marissa left, the podcast was kinda just dead in the water until Mal came. These are facts

Facts. Before Mal came, and just Rory and Joe with the occasional guest host, was some dark times for the podcast. Mal addition was huge. Mal, at the time, brought the only relatable black person ever to the show. Plus early on his chiming in with funny comments carried a lot of segments. Eventually he turned into the “that’s crazy” guy without adding much discourse, but that wasn’t til later down the road. looking at it now, that could’ve been his discontentment with the show and his friendship with Joe.
