Joe Budden podcast done? No Rory or Mal for 2nd straight episode

Mayne, this shit is frustrating, it's disappointing and it's fucking sad.

Ish has been asked at least twice on the main pod, by Marc, if he knew enough scientifically to really discuss and debate the "Flat Earth" fallacy.

And each time he answered, "no." And they switched topics........

But since that last time it was addressed, especially since Wiz was on the pod, Ish gets caught up talking about this shit.

I compare it to, if I said, "A potato is a fruit, not a vegetable." And if someone asked, "Do know you know scientifically to discuss the difference between fruits and vegetables?" I say, " No."

But now every week I'm still saying, "But that doesn't change the fact that a potato is a fruit."

My G, you exited the "debate ring" 2 times!

Why do you keep walking into the arena, down the aisle and stand up on the apron against the ropes?!

You already admitted you can not get into the ring to box it out, you do not have the knowledge to do so!! Just stop it

To be fair, neither does Marc and he's said as much.

Assuming Ish and Ice are being sincere, their stance has been pervious theories have been proven to be incorrect or built on in the past. Why they won't move on to a different example is beyond me. I don't recall either outright saying the Earth is flat which makes this even dumber. It does give the impression that you do believe the Earth to be flat.

Honestly, I think it's just Ish's ego. He doesn't want the world to think Marc is smarter than him. The problem is Marc is clearly more articulent than Ish. The more articulent person will always look/sound smarter even if they aren't anymore knowledgeable on the subject or outright wrong. When Ish initially joined, being seen as the articulent elder is what he had going for him. It's been a long time since most have thought of him as library.

Ish is the guy who was a star basketball player in a small town or cute girl. You go to AAU and see real competitors. If he somehow makes it to college, he really gets a reality check and if he can't develop his game he never makes it to the NBA. Maybe Ish never ran in circles where he had to mentally grow. Whereas Marc has been speaking at high levels for years. In a fucked up way Joe attempted to tell Ish there were levels and both Umar and Marc are showing him.

True, but Marc can at least articulate a relevant point that is at least above middle school level.

Ish is definitely no longer "Library." And you're correct, that hurts his ego. He has X years in construction/ business and does however many other pods and gets his points off on those pretty much with full agreement and no push back

Yet now on the pod he's "lil bro."..... it may be hard for him to be comfortable in his new role

Well I see this going 2 ways........

Either, Joe will remove his ego, an possibly ignore Ish/Ices and continue to highlight Marc. Maybe add another pod to the JBN (NOT Night School, that may be tooooo controversial/ pushing the boundaries for JBN)......

OR

Joe continues to let this ride as engagement/ impressions stay high, Ish and Ice (and probably Mel) will complain behind the scenes and maybe moreso on the main pod and Joe just let's Marc's contract lapse with no renewal to keep the peace on the pod.....

But if Marc and Joe plays this right, Marc could possibly be the person to help Joe fall back from being in front of the camera (as much, not completely) and free up time to really push the JBN and get other things going.
