I thought we had agreed, collectively back in 2019 that Joe was not to show his ankles like this anymore 😂😂

Good to see Akademiks and Joe Budden back together this brought back memories

Joe: I love women AK: I would argue 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

bro all jokes aside look how much AK progressed since everyday struggle! shit crazy

Joe’s come a long way from running down Drake fans with rocks

If we take Joe at face value, the truth is that sometimes the most qualified for a job don't want the responsibilityof leadership, which makes room for those who do want the responsibility but are absolutely terrible at their job.

I’m sincerely glad to see Joe level up and have such an honest, self-reflective response to questions about his missteps and what he’s learned…it’s only up when you stop letting ego lead.

Joe self sabotaged his network the same he did with his podcast, same he did with Slaughterhouse, same thing he did with Spotify, same thing he did with complex etc.

Very honest conversation, this is a multi million dollar show!! Don’t keep your fans waiting!

Great questions by ak. As a lover of both persons channels and everyday struggle. This is a goldmine to me!

Joe’s main problem is that he doesn’t want to play the game (understandably so) and he knows his real value - he could have easily gotten $40M - $100M a few years ago BUT he is adamant on ownership, no ads and video rights. Those are things he doesn’t want to give up and for that reason any company he goes to will only offer him around $5M - $7M and he feels like that’s a low-ball. And as crazy as it may sound to a lot of people - it is a low-ball. What people don’t understand is that Joe has a company that analyses his data on payroll and therefore he understands his value. His true value. If you listen to the pod you would know that Joe always says “what’s a stream really worth” and what people don’t understand is that the value of a stream is more than just listening to a song or podcast. The value of a stream is more so based on what else you do once you stream that one podcast you listen to. So you may find that, that one stream has gotten you to subscribe to that platform, listen to 10 other podcasts, given impressions to 100s of ads on the platform and maybe even spent thousands of dollars on products due to that one stream - and what’s crazy is the platforms have this information but they never tell you the information. So one stream could really be worth hundreds of dollars but the platforms would like you to believe that a stream is worth pennies. With all that being said though - I still think Joe should take one of the “lower” deals. Maybe $10M and license his rights for two/three years. He could then use that money to find other talent cause maybe the JBP is not the one that should be the cash cow for the network. Maybe he could find a podcast that could then bring the network in $50M and then use that $50M to find 20 pods that bring in $500M and then once he has $500M he can sell the whole network for $1.5B but what do I know 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

You could sense the respect that Joe was showing Aks, like he know Aks is the man now. And yet Aks was showing respect by not kicking Joe while he is down and not gloating that he's up right now. Lotta respect both ways.

I like Joe. I just wish he had as much foresight as he has hindsight when it comes to his relationships with people.

The all women podcasts were a mistake. He shouldve picked up Savon's pod, did something with Vic, spun Rory and Mal off and started his conspiracy pod that he always talked about.

This is the most honest and open I’ve seen joe in an interview setting. Their chemistry is awesome. Great work Ak.

Ak really has grown his interviewing skills

Joe’s life has been an everyday struggle for a while now.

He jumped out the window trying to step on Charlamagne's network with iHeart.

This was an incredibly insightful, warm, and educational pod. I always love the business breakdowns and strategies, especially from the entertainment industry. This is was also SUUUUUPER short, for the value of the content. I understand we're supposed to go to Joe's Patreon to hear the rest of the 3hr version but goddam. One random aside: bro, AK you're too rich to not afford a personal trainer, chef, and dietician. C'mon bruh.

Ak! All tha times he dissed ur wardrobe, u gotta flame him coming up the in a skully, Jean jacket n bright crocs no socks 😂😂😂

This was truly a reflective pod. Enjoyed it. ✊🏾

The memories this brought back!

Glad You Guys Came Back Together 🙏🏾…. Start together Finish together 🌹💯💯

When's the full interview dropping????

Is there a full video link to this podcast ?

These two have the chemistry that the industry needs...

Joe: I love women Ak: I can argue with that 😆 😆 😂 💀

I'm enjoying this because Joe is actually being chill and not boring.

Facts I find myself stickn up for joe often ...sometimes the convo is past the regular mind!

His fit gets crazier each year 😂😂

Keep up the good work with the podcast. But, tell the editor to remove that 80's theme fade to the response to a question shot. That isssh reminded me of PBS back in '88. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will never forgive you guys for giving up on EVERYDAY STRUGGLE. Those interviews were DIFFERENT with crazy insights of the industry. You guys would've broken barriers with the info all the artists were giving you. 👊👊👊

love seeing these two together. ak got great respect for joe

Joe Budden's intro on Def Jam FFNY: Time is money lets go!.. Joe Budden 2022: Time is our most valuable inventory..

We need more of these 2

Soo good to see these two together again

How big are Ak’s hands that the Essentia water bottle looks like the size of a phone?

Upload the one with Van. Episode 85 is one of your best ones ngl.

Everyday struggle was my sht, AK and Joe should work together

everyday struggle is bacckkkkkkkkk yeeeeeeeeeeeaarrrrrrrrrrrrr 🔥🔥🔥

Joe Budden DJ Akademiks is legendary.

Videos of AK and Joe Budden will always be good content I click immediately anytime I see there names together they make good content and make good numbers on every video they do and that's facts the numbers don't lie

This shows growth in both men and who knows what’s coming next

Let me find out Ak played high school football the way he caught that bottle,, hella smooth

Tell Joe he owe us a pod from this past Saturday. We ain't forget!😤

Where is the full interview?

Joe “I love women” Ak: “I would argue” lmfaooooooooooooooo

Joe got the Yeezy Crocs in sport mode smh 🤣🤣🤣

The green shoes😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

Time is our most valuable inventory.

See the Things is still goes hard, it’s become it’s own thing and has its own identity now. Mandii & BK are killing it.

Good to see everyone still gets along

Love Joe, but his pandering is disgusting and he doesn't even realize how much it is a turn off for his core.

A good Intellectual interview ❤️🔥🔥

Yo Joe Budden should drop some music that song with Wayne was heat

I received this message and from where I'm sitting it's lovely

AK's chairs look uncomfortable af lmao

Ak says he could never start a label but if you watch stream he says multiple times that he has a label and even has chosen signed to him

Yo I legit wanna have a conversation with you ak how can I go about this?

Ha, from the corner of my eye the thumbnail looked like it had a Mars Attacks alien in it.

No only does Joe have his ankles out like he in the Bahamas but this man has the salehe lime green crocs in SPORT MODE sitting across from ak, the levels of nastiness is outta this world

Great info here for podcast business

No jumper is killing it!

This maturity at the max

Joe Budden rocking the Yeezy × Crocs

Good convo #FLIGHTZ

We need a joe and ak show

Time is very valuable

“I love women” “I would argue” 😂😂😂

This is the most open Joe has every been with any interview Matt must be fuming lmao

More Joe and Ak please

I actually like Joe’s fit here, minus the crocs

That live was fun

Joe sounds like he didn't brush his teeth this morning

Lotta 🥜 guzzling here 🤣😂🤣

3:38 y'all don't hear bumass akademik saying "I would argue" when joe says I love women 😭

Release the Rory and mal segment

Fit game is crazy

Joe Joe Joe, u always fuck the fit up.

Joe is a egomaniac. He wanted Spotify to give him a Bill Simmons type of deal. He saw that the only way to get that type of bag is to have a network that you can sell as a package. That's why he wanted to start his own podcasting network. What he and now Charlemagne saw is that starting a podcasting network from scratch is not easy. Not everyone is the Ringer or Barstool sports.

I've always rocked with Joe, when the smoked clears looking back, he carried the load, everything was in his name, he works relentlessly, he kept building his brand outside the podcast. He financed multiple peoples careers. He literally created Mal and Rory and paid them millions. You'd be an asshole too, if at the end of the day everyone turns around and points the finger at you.

Yall gotta do somethingba show or something fr fr

Joe....WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!!!!!!

Joe got on them beach chanclas. 🩴

I like how they can talk more respectfully than on EveryDay struggle idk if Joe have more respect for AK or just respects his platform but Joe use to overboard with not letting AK speak or respecting AK opinions .. it was odd to see a man treat a man like a little boy .. I understand certain people have leader intangibles but it wasn’t like Joe was leading it felt more like Joe use to Bully AK

2 jersey dudes just having a friendly chat..

I just peeped his ankles

Mr staple gun himself 😍

i remember when joe was trying to snap on charlemagne lol

“Women need to be backed by strong men sometimes”

Joe use to go in on AK on Everyday struggle.. Wonder how Joe feels now that AK surpassed him .

Dam they should bring neseska as for a tb episode

“Women need strong backing 🍑 “ 👀

Charlemagne tried to warn Joe about Joe Budden. Welp!

This is joe budden's best interview

Joe Budden Pioneered the KZfaq vlogs on a the channel. Joe budden tv was ahead of its time and Joe has been doing podcast for years

Dawg what’s wrong with his thumb 🤔😂💀

Joe got HUMBLED LMAOO

Podcasting isnt for every 1 but much respect for giving it a good run

And that’s why Cthagod did a partnership, to take some of the load off
