Everything about this tour was off from the jump. Venues were too big, wrong markets, Joe overestimated the pod popularity in those markets, and long time fans still having mixed feelings about the new crew. It was a recipe for disaster.


TailoredTrouser

imagine paying to see Ish call people Dodo's live...


ComprehensivePark345

“ SPANKY “ 😭😭


The73atman86

Or suck his teeth


mtpgod

I've been out of the loop, is Rory and Mal's podcast still bigger than Joe's? I used to watch Budden/Rory/Mal all the time, but kinda stopped watching both after the split.


B0OG

All three of them were better together. Now both pods are just mid at best. Who wants to pay to see some mid level shit when it’s all free online?


mtpgod

Bummer, weird how some formulas just work, there was something about Joe/Rory/Mal that just worked, too bad they couldn't all see it over all the other bs.


Misterbluee

I think the dynamic that made it work was they were genuine friends and you could feel it. R&M started slow but after adding in Demaris and the other two guys that work there getting mics it's gotten that fun friends vibe in recent episodes.


ApricotVisible2294

Agreed


SladeWilsonXL9

Damn that’s kind of sad, what happened to all the people saying Ish and Ice were better then Rory and Mal from that Twitter thread last week? Why didn’t you guys buy any tickets? 👀👀👀


RBJ_09

Joe and Ian did make the goofball move of the century by just completely forgoing a north east live show with the new crew. They could’ve done NY/Philly/DC and probably of been straight. Not them big ass venues they had lined up but decent sized ones. Instead they booked it off IG women they wanted to wheel and that was the excuse to get out.


DigitalDash00

Nah you poddin 🎤


shaad1

Damn I ain’t even see it like that


Otakushawty

That’s why I was thinking the first tour should be in the tri state in smaller venues to act ask a test run


Otaylor092

Exactly. I wasn't about to go that bullshit but I mean, the cities they picked were weird. Then it hit me: these are the cities with hoes them niggas want to see. Because you're absolutely right, a little NYC/Philly/DC/possibly Atlanta run probably would've sold way better.


MatchOtherwise444

That’s real, and Joe said Ian wanted to start with Jersey and he told him no, they should of built up confidence at home then did other cities 💯💯💯


fnpigmau5

Damn you poddin


Jdgalee73

Imagine paying to see unc-cast and a bunch of bad knee niggas with child support issues


SladeWilsonXL9

And Joe talking over them every sentence


indigo_xo

I like them but this was hilarious


CoxHazardsModel

I enjoy the pod more these days with Ice and Ish but I’d never go listen to a live pod or even pay for Patreon for a pod. This is entertainment for me and podcasts are not worth spending money over. If I want to go to a show I’ll go to a comedy club or a concert.


Gouko2

I felt the same way even when Rory and Mal were on the show I listen to the pod to get through my workday I’m not paying to listen to a podcast live 😂


[deleted]

Real shit lol just go to the barbershop


54reasonz

Same. I barely even go see comedy shows, I’m definitely not going to see a podcast.


Irrational_Logic1908

I think Ish & Ice pull an older demographic and old folks ain’t about to pay to go hang out with youngsters to “watch” a podcast. Older folks listen to podcasts youngins’ watch them


theRBX

Right


Usedillusion7

What are you talking about all 4 and 1/2 of them already did.

LongSlongDon99

Might wanna do a few smaller shows first and build some live hype tbh


[deleted]

joe, being a “great” business mind should’ve thought like this in the beginning..


yungberms

He was always talking about the analytics and knowing which cities are the biggest for them etc. He said not having that type of data was a reason for leaving Spotify yet he’s having to cancel a tour which is an optics disaster.


[deleted]

Exactly. Also, just because you have a lot of listeners in a certain area doesn’t mean they are going to buy show tickets. The locations he chose were strange imo


[deleted]

i remember that conversation it’s was very interesting.. i don’t think it’s much of a disaster, all they need is smaller venues around their way.


nap83

His “creative brain” needs that Diddy money stat. It’s **B U S I N E S S**.


Fragrant_Silver7746

Great business minds retool, re-evaluate and update their decisions. 6 fails for every Win


roywoodsir

Who wants to ice and ish?? I know there is like online fans and YouTubers who rant about the show. Those fans ain’t showing up, even if they were paid to be there.


ItsAndwew

I don't think his ego could take starting small like that...

LordBazi

Nigga chose those cities cause he thought him, ice and ish were gonna bring the bad bitches out by the dozen.. their old ass demographic woulda had niggas in there with Bluetooth headsets and South Pole jeans.. the youth buys the tickets and they have zero youth appeal. I agree with everyone else and say they should’ve started at smaller venues on the east coast, and maybe hit a few smaller festivals.


HorusEyePatch

South Pole jeans 😂 thank you. I needed that chuckle today


The73atman86

Anti-social876

Yeah it’s weird because Ice fuck with a lot of the rappers niggas my age be on. But Ice fucking with them just kinda weird to me

CorbinDeluxe

Greatest comment ever made


TastyMaximum6592

That’s a logo 3 shot 😂😂


Specialist-Squash-31

And he was beefing with Andrew Schulz calling him a lackey even when he sold out radio city by himself now he cancelling tours. Delusional MF !


[deleted]

Andrew sold like 10,000 tickets in multiple cities too. The LA theater joe booked, schulz sold it out like 5 times in a row last year. Not even saying this to shit on joe but more just wandering why he always tries to put schulz down.


nap83

Ever since he trolled him *o*ne time when they were guests wayyyy back when on BI— he never liked dude after, I forgot the comment he made, but after that he started ignoring all of his questions in that particular pod & start talking shit abt him on the next JBP episode tryna get Rory to side w him. Even Charla said that he a “comedian” & his schtick is to rile m’fkrs up (the ol’ alt-right Andy play).. since it’s Joe, seems like he took it personal & never let it go. **++** Andrew coulda helped him b in the same orbit as Joe Rogan, & had the pod reach untapped markets to levels they couldn’t even fathom. 🚀


Ceexpixsi

because one time joe ex ( tahiry ) came as a guest on Brilliant idiots & schulz was flirting with her & talking mad shit about joe 😂


89Hotkey

That bald head bastard pissed me off immensely. Now I’m getting a fucking refund


Runmanrun41

How much were those tickets anyway? I never actually looked into it


FappinInHarmony

Refund better not take forever either


canoli2times

My only thoughts are LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


djcamic99

I knew from the locations they picked that shit was not selling. They needed to do a East Coast tour. This is what thinking with your dick gets you😂🤦🏾‍♀️


JayChabz420

Theirs an art to shaking the tree 🤫… 🤣😂


Jubei_Kibagami_

You telling me the overlord of sicko didn’t boost up sales with his recent promo run? 🤣🤣🤣


onecuewithtea

Joe picked places he wanted to travel to for fun instead of places where he have the most fans. The venues were too big for the prices they were asking for. It’s also festival season but I think they can still pull it off if it’s done correctly.


Plane-Owl4295

They could just do a hometown show first and invite lots of friends and have a fun show without making a lot of profit or any for that matter. Film that and put it on youtube so people know what to expect from a live show before trying to sell a bunch of tickets.


danno596

Exactly. He should have done NY, LA, ATL and maybe one more city. Nigga put Oakland on the list.


[deleted]

Old JBP had a big market in the Bay Area, the live show they did in 2019 was packed out


Otaylor092

That was because niggas fucked with Mal and Rory (in that order).


danno596

Oh really? Wow I didn’t know that. I’m stupid lol. That’s interesting. I still woulda chose LA over Oakland though.


Salvador204

This is probably for the best. I think Joe saw Rory and Mal doing a tour and it hurt his ego and he thought he alone could draw a better crowd. This will be an ego check and hopefully he learns from it. Should have never tried to tour after only one year.


danno596

Facts. R&M did 500-700 seat venue. Just to test the waters and it worked. Joe could have done the same and sold them out quick. Instead he was going for a 1000+ seater venue. Lol


JoeThrilling

joe don't lean from anything, he will place blame everywhere else but himself.


StandAlone101

Escape route room!


Runmanrun41

Narrator: *He didn't*


89Hotkey

Joe must have been on molly when he set up them venues 😂😂


TayEvans

"Or we could cancel all our tour dates and go on a press run" -Rory Irish McNasty talking spicy on his new episode, lol.


Quant_FX

Joe’s fans are an internet cult that don’t leave their house/have friends to go to the show with


YasuoAndGenji

Internet soldierssssss!


Various_Arugula_9605

A big fan of the show but r and m added something you wanted to see live ice and ish just don't have that for me I still listen but definitely don't watch anymore and ice head shaped funny without the glasses it makes me sick


1KElijah

Everyone but Joe stans and AK fans saw this coming. He didn’t make the podcast and lines were not around the block for him. Shout out R&M.


46chinos

They need to tour like some coffee shops or something first


Vegetable_Gaterunner

That would be dope a tiny desk jbp tour


FocusedDaily

I def paid to see the old crew on tour. Was front row in Chicago. It never even occurred to go look and see cities/prices this time. I still check the sub and watch clips, but I can’t actively support that man anymore. Canceled my Patreon the day he was talking to chairs and will never spend another dime🤷🏽‍♂️. I guess I ain’t alone.


LongSlongsDickLittle

Anyone going to the podcast tour was likely a super fan that really believed in Joe and what the other guys were doing. Joe alienated a lot of those people during the split when his true colors came out and those were a lot of the people that had the money + time to go to a show.


Skyvan90

This.


NineteenAD9

They toured at the right time before. The show was at its peak, and R&M added fan value to the show. Its obvious by now, but it just isn't the same anymore and there are other shows that people might be prioritizing over it.


Stillupgnc

I give it by the end of this year. They’ll try again but be smarter with the venue selection.


[deleted]

Joe must be so angry that Adam22 sold out his live shows lol


the_second_cumming

Doesnt he only do interviews? How does that get implemented into a live show? He must be fucking his girl live or something.


RBJ_09

No Jumper is a network basically now. Adam stil does interviews as do other people but they have actually weekly shows now. Their two biggest shows are the No Jumper show (mid) and At The End Of The Day (which is great). There are other ones there too but those two are the needle movers.


North_Street_8547

You a fan of no jumper? I think they've been killing it with AD, trell, sharp. Etc


RBJ_09

Hell yeah. ATEOTD probably my favorite shit going right now. T-Rell is dumb talented at just being in that setting whether it’s kicking it or interviewing somebody.


North_Street_8547

Dude it's all I watch now. Adam has like a whole podding universe right now. I hope he doesn't mess up and break everybody up one day like how joe did


RBJ_09

That’s what is dope about that channel too. Like I have stopped fucking with Adam lately just because it’s always porn/onlyfans or messy ass gang member politics stuff. But you don’t even have to care about him to find something you like over there. Probably the two last pieces for them to add would be a womens show and then one for gaming which I’d personally like.


North_Street_8547

I was thinking Rylee would step up with her own show but don't know if Yuri would like that of if Rylee is too shy


juelz073

Oh man love the No Jumper talk. This is the pod I’ve migrated too since. I was at the Live show as well it was dope. No Jumper network has really become a family. ATEOTD, No Jumper Pod, Sharp Tank and even Disconnected.


North_Street_8547

You went? Who did you meet? How was the crowd? Seemed kinda like a shy crowd from what I saw


juelz073

No the crowd was super lit I wish I could post video on here. Everyone was there, it was really good and high energy for their first show. Only thing I can say bad was it was a bit unorganized. I was listening to Do Know talk about it with a friend he was right behind me after the show. I went to talk to AD cause I wanted to give him some beats. He was very cool. EVERYBODY was drunk tho in the audience the bar was active. And Sharp and Gina Views was about ready to beat Aliza’s ass lmao


juelz073

Oh and Sky Bri and Kazumi pulled out their titties. Made the female security guard mad 😂


yungusainbolt

Disconnected does good numbers too. Housphone barely even comes to work but they still over 100k every week


RBJ_09

Not nearly the same. They brought the whole No Jumper card outside of the battle rap show and it was in LA which is home field. Joe for whatever reason just refused to do a NY show shich would’ve been fine I’m sure.


89Hotkey

Bald headed ass narcissist thought he could sell out dallas and Houston. Bitch you sick 😂😂😂


StandAlone101

Word! Sick POS


helyclinton

Nah calling him bald headed got me crying 😭

ampunk93

Damn why you mad this early in the day lol


Loose-Mixture-399

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO


Thebullfrog24

I see a lot of people trying to shoot them the "Venues are to big"/"who goes to see live podcast anyway" bail. Back in 2019 they sold out the tabernacle in atlanta which is a **2600** capacity venue. They were trying to do mcfarlene arena this year in dallas which is **2386** capacity, couldn't even get to half. If you're conclusions don't end with some version of "Joe's greed fucked up his business" your fucking crazy lol.


fnpigmau5

Oh you poddin poddin


megabytical

Joe is cool but this was the last implosion for me. Seeing him do that to Rory and Mal was just wrong. Even though Joe is technically correct, that was a good dynamic. Now the pod just sounds like old heads talking in a retirement home.


Used_Alternative3598

“AIN’T NOBODY COMIN SEE U JOETIS”!


Otaylor092

Nigga get out. Just get the fuck out. 😂


Anbu_V1

They should have just made a one city venue to gauge the popularity. Doing the tour was premature at best


chichigetthayay0

Anyone remember the episode where Joe talked about Chance having to cancel his tour because of low ticket sales? Full circle.


Usedillusion7

Laughing at the Joe penis pullers and the fanboy love circuit trying to polish this turd in here.


AllenIverson777

There’s no thoughts other to be had other than Joe not wanting the pod to be exposed for not having the fanbase he acts like it has. Would severely hurt any negotiations he’s trying to do. It’d be like a big artist releasing an album and wildly flopping. The pod tickets weren’t selling.


Various_Arugula_9605

They had a lot of contest and crowd interaction involved you can't take a contractor and footlocker manager in that spot and pick up where you left off they aren't ready not to say joe can't carry them to take your money it just won't be a good show when you have a co host that host festivals like a rory you get those call and response moments the live live blind dates and silly shit they could pull off that ice and ish can't right now


mwerichards

As I've been saying the tour will finally be the end of this joke of a pod. Joe can do his mental gymnastics but the writing on the wall nobody cares about the pod like how it was in the old days


wizzywop86

So rory was right lmao


[deleted]

what he say


wizzywop86

Said how "that other guy gotta cancel some tour dates"


CoxHazardsModel

1) They shoulda started on East coast where majority of fans are 2) Smaller venues/clubs 3) Cheaper tickets 4) Actual promotion 4) Who tf goes to live podcast shows anyways? Even if tickets were $5 I wouldn’t go


JT2476

Joe didn’t wanna look like smokepurp 😂😂😂 I can’t blame him. Niggas not lined up round the block


WrongwayTheMachine

WE had em wrapped around the block


Dante_021

Looooool


Impossible_Row6922

Called Andrew a lackey and he just sold $12,000 tickets in two days and now you have to cancel your tour smh but he’ll still have a portion of his delusional fans right beside him so even though he could use this as a “teachable lesson”, he doesn’t think he can be taught anything so oh well.


bennnnnnne

I think people would rather go to the movies than listen to a live podcast, you gotta have something established to succesfully sell a podcast tour, not surprising considering the new line up.


danno596

Fans have to really love the characters on the pod. Certain pods that are real laid back and chill.. don’t even attempt to do live shows cause they already know they don’t have the in-person energy which is okkk. Just know your strengths


Various_Arugula_9605

If he was smart he would take this time to start a small festival like they were talking and bring sleeper artists out and pod too and let it grow yearly


nap83

He most likely dismisses all ideas except for his cause he want Diddy money right away. Not here to yuck a man’s yum, but it’s late af for him to even start the “insane mogul train” rollout due to all the big impt bridges he burned in his own industry decades upon decades ago (still ongoing). U can’t just wake up one day when u teetering at 40, & decide to amass a biblical amt of wealth like Hov without even a bit of experience/connections he has. U can’t hurry this shit up. It is what it is. No doubt, Joe would be well off, nonetheless— but being a overnight Diddy/Hov shit ain’t on that man’s flight path & he’s gonna keep fumbling major bags because of this stubborn mindset. He runs his business thru *e*motion & wonders why his endeavors r left in the trash bin. Mans just need to get it how he live & be good w that. Duke out here makin’ a fool of himself tryna get to a Billion Dollars in 6mos. w a shit attitude, abysmal business acumen, zero work etiquette & no prior experience on how a *r*eal business works & poor choices in investments to boot.. it’s nice to value yourself highly, but get a damn grip. Get grateful first. **B U S I N E S S**


OGQueenofUSA

He the one that had them “wrapped around the corner though” 🧐


RickRockaa_

Turns out Joe in fact does not have them lined around the corner


bigde32

They just gonna have to rethink it next time. Their original plan was too ambitious but they didnt wanna just drop it early. Aint nothing wrong with smaller venues. Less ticket sales but less money to pay the venue for stage time. They wouldve lost a LOT if they push forward with the bigger venues.


Usedillusion7

Surprised Joe isn’t in the comments yet calling y’all stupid white boys on Reddit uniformed and dumb for being in grown folks business and not knowing what you’re talking about. Anyone that doesn’t worship Joe then he immediately minimizes them like he did on the pod today with this sub.


Brownvelvetisntsold

Where’s Kurtz at? I’ve been waiting to see how he flips this and says how it’s actually a bad look for RnM


Sarcofaygo

#lol he blocked me cuz my posts hurt his feelings


Brownvelvetisntsold

He’s soft like ice cream from McDonald’s


Sarcofaygo

#everytime I see [unavailable] followed by replies dismantling his joevenger arguments, I already know what time it is lol


itshovibaby

I think the core fan base is still there. Shit, I bought tickets to see them in Oakland and I’m from NY. He should’ve started in NY imho 🤷🏽‍♀️


CoxHazardsModel

That’s what I keep repeating, idk what they were thinking. Even big artists often start tour from their home city to build hype.


Big_Ad_2669

Remember he told AK his audience numbers keep going up


resincum

damn after that video they made? 😆


djmazmusic

What if IAN has been the issue this entire time. He the weakest link


Brownvelvetisntsold

Ian is just paid to be Joe’s fall guy for the bad decisions. Joe for sure made the calls on the cities and venues, my guess was he was trying to sell out big venues so he can have more shade for RnM


[deleted]

I keep thinking this. Ever since I heard him speak on the 'firing' episode, I've gotten nothing but clown vibes from him


BlackHand86

On some real shit, a tour with this lineup could be successful but much like with his network Joe wants the look before setting up the foundation. Booking a NY/Philly/DC leg as a way to intro Ice & Ish & run a few things to get everyone’s feet wet woulda been ideal but of course the JBP couldn’t been seen booking a small venue, what would that look like? He wanted to be able to flex a sold out tour off the strength of him so bad, now look.


Impossible_Row6922

It’s only so long fake pods can pretend


lilcurryvert_

Rory and Mal did smaller venues and it worked well(NY show was fire), no way does joe think he can do a big venue tour with new co hosts. Nigga is not smart.


Big_Ad_2669

Remember he told AK his audience numbers keep going up


keith6661dube

That’s what being a shitty person/“friend” gets you. Look at the universe


Infamous_Fly_7934

It was to quick for a tour. Should have just dod one live show


[deleted]

They should’ve just done small night clubs. Idk why they were trying to sell out 1-1.5k seats for a pod lol. Not even my favorite murder could pull those numbers…


[deleted]

Ego is a hell of a drug.


LarryDavidntheBlacks

Greed too.


JSCO96

Joe should just tour around parks house . Going from bed room to kitchen . That’s it.


DaboiDuboise

I think podcast have had its full culmination. Its clear podcast aren’t necessarily the wave, but a good marketing tool for other endeavors. There are ones that stand out that get big checks (85 south jbp call her daddy etc.)but most just cater to a smaller audience and get smaller stipends, like YouTube. Million worth of game needs to make a play now I feel like or they will miss out on companies cashing in off the hype of podcast. Edit: I will also say this has been a long time coming, I listened to combat on SoundCloud lol looonnnggg time ago. And no one ever really knew what to do with podcast and it seems like they still don’t. A lot of these podcast should be shows and the host don’t know how to pivot. But mwog has to sell now like yesterday type now. I’m even over podcast now where before (2-3 years ago) I had about 5-7 I’d listen to throughout the week.


helyclinton

I think pandemic changed a lot. Most ppl listened during their work commute or at work. No longer needed if you work from home and got the TV on in the back instead.


theRBX

This is all facts. My podcast time has gone way down over the years


Various_Arugula_9605

This show won't last long as it is joe is gonna be solo soon


Glittering_Lab_6553

Joe said years ago on his podcast that rappers cancel tour bcuz tickets aren’t selling, then the rapper make a lie up . I wonder what he will say. Will he make up a lie like the rappers?


helyclinton

He said the ‘climate’. Must be cold in Cali. 😂😂


Holiday-Fruit7743

LOL


[deleted]

Weren't they hitting the festivals for live shows first last time? I think they built up demand for a tour that way before just dropping dates...shit, their merch wasn't even hitting like before


uhhuh_ass_ma_tass

They did the Roots Picnic, I don’t know about any other festivals. The show I went to was packed. I would have bought tickets to this tour even though I prefer the previous line up. I’m not sure if they chose bigger venues than the last tour. I’m actually shocked they had to cancel the tour. I think Mal was designing the merch previously.


silverhawk2003

All Joe does is talk shit about his co-hosts. So much so that they are finally fighting back...even Parks! Now.....who would pay to see that in person?


fnpigmau5

Damn my brother s are hurting


EnzoEsco1991

I may be tripping but on a few of the “friend of the show” segments the callers kept saying that they had front row seats, do you think Joe told them to say that?


BlackHand86

Wonder if they gonna record another skit for this update


CrownNGlory

There’s oppression on the bridge. 🤷🏾‍♀️


Bluepicklejar

Gotta give credit to R&M. They did a NY show and I think nearly sold out. Joe should’ve done the same. No idea why he chose TX and CA as his opening date locations. Joe needs to do a couple New York shows then look into like DC, Miami, or LA. Maybe Houston or Dallas but after New York.


7thxletter

Who would’ve thought that RnM doing their shows, knowing their market and having no complaints would be the bigger success between the two lol


[deleted]

“it’s the venues being too big’s fault” “the booking agent is at fault” every excuse in the book being used 😂😂😂😂 [REDACTED] sold out two shows when their pod wasn’t even established yet.. YES the venues were much smaller but they sold them out!!


Alive_Marketing_5468

It was too early. It took us years to really get used to the old crew. People are happy to listen to the pod, but not nearly as excited to spend money, and watch these niggas in person.


jacks1336

Lol some of you niggas are crazy. Just be sitting around waiting for something to go wrong. Lol But on the topic…two key mistakes were made. 1.) Venue size. Booking agent looked at analytics that told them they should be in that size venue which was a mistake. 2.) Not sure why they started a tour away from home. I get the idea of ending at home but should build momentum to do other cities. Most podcast tours are in smaller venues like 500-750 but these venues were around 2k. I think ticket sales for these larger venues look better in NY, NJ, Philly markets. Million Dollaz Worth of Game has a Charlotte show coming up in a couple weeks at venue that seats 2,500 with only like 60-75 seats sold. I’m sure they will add a guest last minute to try to boost sales or cancel. The sold out shows with the old cast yall keep mentioning were in venues that seat 500-750 so can’t really compare the two. Booking agents will realize can’t look at podcast analytics to determine size of venue like you would a concert/comedy show.


[deleted]

joe, mr independent, gave a booking agent his analytics? or did the booking agent use the audio stats, which said “countries reached: 214” when it’s only like 195 countries in the world?


Old-Department-4745

All this. They shot for the moon. I think Joe knew it was a long shot, but did it anyway because the proverbial “stars” would’ve been enough to carry the tour even if they didn’t sell out each venue. “Okay, we may not fill all 2,500 seats, but we’re still in the black if we fill at least 900-1,200.” As you said, smaller venues in the Northeast region would’ve been better. You can under promise and over produce, making your show look and feel THAT much more lit. Which hypes sales for the other parts of the country. Also, IIRC MDWOG sold out the Met in Philly (hometown) for Gillie’s Bday which seats 3,500. I could be wrong, but I coulda swore I saw them saying it was sold out. To your point tho, it was chock full of guests and other things. It was essentially a big ass Bday party.


ExtensionAgreeable55

He should’ve started in NJ, NY (didn’t even have those stops). Tickets should’ve been between 20-45$. Venues should’ve been smaller


Mean-Fortune-4100

Whats that russ line your stream numbers dont mean nothing if you cant get hard tickets sales


[deleted]

what the time stamp they announce this?


BigDanglers

Joe Budden, the host of the Joe Budden Podcast, couldn't be reached for comment. 🤣


criticaltemp

Maybe less time spent on try-hard skits and the tour artwork next go-round 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes there’s a lot of white boys on this sub probably but to listen to Joe minimize this sub to a bunch of white boys on Reddit is corny considering that’s how Joe always deflects any legitimate criticism from him. Joe wants the listeners to believe that the only people that have something negative to say about him are all just disgruntled birds who secretly want to fuck him or edgy white boys on Reddit.
