And as far as Rory and Mal not branching out and doing other / more pods:

Rory has stated he had / has a lot of personal ish going on so another podcast outside of JBP was out of the question.

After the Palooza ish with Stylez' name hot on the net for ALL THE WRONG reasons and covid fucking up the album rollout and touring (podcast and musically)....dude has been distant, aggravated and tight those past few pods....

MAL has stated he is not a podcast dude. He guessed on Whorible Decisions a couple times and I think one other pod.....but dude never gave off the impression he had ambitions for his own or another thing on the network.

And finally

Should the guys be entitled to a piece of the JBN expan$ion and growth?

Does anyone think $$ is ultimately the underlying issue to their absence....

And yes Mal is a damned fool if the hill he is dying on (by leaving the pod) is some unrequited loyalty to Rory.....they met through Joe, they weren't really friends. Second Joe brought Mal in after 40-50 eps....to replace an original member

Like Reed told Franklin "Everyone is replaceable. And I mean EVERYONE!"

I think their podcasts relied heavily on content from hip-hop celebrities. And it's been a slow year for most of them. Making the podcast slow as well.

Obviously they are still the number 1 hip hop podcast... But drink champs and gillie and wallo have been more enjoyable over the pandemic in my opinion.

I feel like it would serve Joe budden and his listeners if he were able to do a podcast with someone of equal or more success in life and with women. Like maybe someone like Cam'ron, Royce, or Ludacris? Then it would challenge Joe to stop the over talking and the condescending tone and have him challenged "against" a worthy opponent. (I know it isn't first take or undisputed format....but essentially that's all it is though).

See that's interesting

I was actually impressed on how the podcast was able to thrive WITHOUT celebrity guests.

And I thought other podcasts like drink Champs don't do well WITHOUT strong guests.

I liked Joe rory Mal ability to talk about all topics even outside hip hop.

That is a rare skill and the pandemic exposed alot of shows.

That being said?

Drink Champs last few interviews have been straight classics

And Gillie, show is entertaining as hell.

But the audience seems to love the new line up with Joe...

damn these fans ain't loyal

I don't know if the new dudes are ACTUALLY better or is this just some schadenfreude from so called fans who think THEY could do a better job?

Vicious broke this down perfect

Mal strong loyalty to Rory is admirable but I think very misplaced if the story behind all this is true.

Do you believe if rory and Mal called Joe this weekend and said they were ready to return?

Joe would welcome them back with open arms?

That first show back would do record numbers

hell might be Patreon only..

But AFTER that...what happens?

You think Joe would just lose the new crew?

Give them their OWN podcast?

Have a rotation?

We have learned a lot from all this...

Fans are fickle as f*ck.

I gotta check that Drunk Champs Cam'ron interview a lot of ppl said it was fire....I used to be heavy on DC but Nore gets belligerent and just rapid fires from topic to topic when he's drinking heavy.....

I'm like damn dude didn't even fully answer the question and nore is asking him 2 more....

And props to Gille and Wallo, but Barstool is propping those guys up .......

Fans aint fickle... the pod is very good,
and imo the patreon discussions have been better with I & I
than Rory n Mal

Joe & Rory are still in couples counseling, if they make progress will determine if when Rory comes back - is what Joe is saying

the recent pods have incorporated other friends and family - my guess is that would continue if Rory n Mal come back

Bro... you really thinks fans ain't fickle?

These fans ain't loyal

We seen this with other shows you not a little surprised there isn't more of a get rory and Mal back effort?

That being said?

You and I were some of the first to say Ish was WAY TOO GOOD for this to end well for the other guys.

Hold on.... to be clear is the couples counseling a joke? Or you serious? I remember that mentioned on the breakfast club

In fact I called out Lenard for being a damn hypocrite.

Wow. OK.

Listen if he ain't taping the therapy sessions and really loves these guys like that if the brotherhood and friendship really more important than the business

I got a new level of respect for Joe.

And after hearing that... and also Joe not wanting to let this newly discovered talent just LEAVE

maybe a Budden and friends format could work?

I hope it does I don't see the logistics working outside multiple podcasts under JBN but I would love to see them pull it off.

OK "deep breath*

I think the counseling is good.

Physical altercation public Fighting twitter beef or some legal stuff is NOT how I would want this to end

and damn Lenard is a bitch.

And with NO shame I hope that clip comes back to bite him hard.

What did Lenard do? LOL

bitch ass hypocrite

after over a YEAR claiming he was an ALLY and a supporter and advocate for mental health and therapy

and telling EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITHIN EARSHOT

about the value and importance of therapy and mental health

telling every thug rapper and actress and actor..

you should "GET HELP"

how BLACK FOLK ESPECIALLY need therapy for all the trauma we endue every day

making a podcast and even writing a book about mental health

when he heard these men went to therapy to mediate their differences?

Him and that sucka Envy (in this case) clowned them HARD

I wouldn't even mind the JOKES cause its all fair...

but for THAT muthafuka to be THAT big of a hypocrite was damn near nauseating

and REVEALING as f*ck.

People just like that these guys are actually giving their opinions on topics and not coming from their industry biases.... And main of all willing to intellectually combat and hold joe's feet to the fire when he on some Bullshit... Which to me is very often. I couldn't listen to a show with just Joe budden I feel like rory did a decent job in the past of balancing perspectives similar to the young black guy he had on his revolt show "state of the culture" .

Nore has heard the criticism and has tried to get better about that. He comes in with his printed card of topics or his cellphone with questions he jotted down.. and he's trying to let people finish their stories without getting sidetracked too much.

This reads like Nore wrote it while referring to himself in the third person :lol:

No, Ish and Ice were on today as well

On a side note Drake tweeting about Rory being spotted is hilarious!

Yo I was dying

But this also means something

Rory and Mal HAVE A FOLLOWING

Not just fans either

Industry folk, celebrities, athletes etc

Getting Griselda and Drake and Kylie Jenner name drops mean SOMETHING (I would assume)

I still feel like dismissing them offhand is a mistake

Rory and mal = Horace grant

The new guys= Dennis Rodman

The bulls needed a rebounder as a missing piece to help when multiple rings... Horace grant thought bulls couldn’t prob win another without his presence than they got Rodman.. this is what’s happening now with the joe budden podcast... if Horace want some more rings he better understand and appreciate his role on the team or get replaced by Rodman

i don't need him to be funny. I like how he pushes Joe and has a different perspective at times. Neither Joe nor Mal are funny. they can crack jokes together but I prefer the dynamic with Rory there and he actually has more maturity at times than Mal in a lot of areas and Joe in some areas.
Mal just sits there mostly pouting and giving off that "I'm too cool" attitude. Good riddance.

It seems more personal funny shit comes out with Ish and Ice. Like last episode when the train got fucked up cuz of Joe :lol: I've never heard a Mal story, and Rory has a time limit 4 me where it's just enough Rory. It's not enough bread for all 5 of them, better get in where u fit in. I know damn well this ain't paid time off

did NOT know they went THIS far back...

dudes in this thread made it sound like Mal and Joe weren't really that close.
