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

Mel is gone, they edited this part out of the pod

Well the part where Joe mentions her name.....

Ironically, it looks like they are already running into the same problems. Unless Mona was mocking Mel.

Im not a fan of using someone to get a joke off and not really speaking to the issue, but that's Joe's thing. The reference to Mel dating Marc was disrespectful. Not saying it's better if she was there, but the joke could come off as more light hearted.her not being there comes off as bitch shit especially if she no longer with the pod.

To me, Mel being or acting like a feminist made her a bad fit for the pod. Alot of her opinions came off bias. As a woman, we expect to hear the woman's perspective, but there is a difference in that vs never calling out bullshit. That said, there were more than a few times she wasn't allowed to complete her thoughts like most of the cast. I mainly didn't like everything being because im a woman. ignoring the fact the overall the cast got the same treatment with the exception of Parks and for the most part Ice.


If she's gone, I wonder if it coming out that she fuck Marc and allegedly E made her feel uncomfortable. Mel's whole thing is wanting to move away from the video girl image to the point of looking down on some and their alleged behavior.personally, I wouldn't view her any differently, but others would say that's typical behavior and the cast definitely would have used it as a joke.it also didn't help she flirted with Ish initially.you can't look down on birds and fly with them at night.you can't talk about Superhead just because you zig instead of zag. I respect women who are open about who they are and don't judge. Except running trains. That's disgusting and no I've never taken part.to me, Mel had nothing to be ashamed of assuming that is part of the reason for leaving.


Side note. Flip may not know how to work around women. Maybe not in the worse way. Ive seen men who's natural instinct is to help women. The problem is these men usually aren't as helpful with men, so it's taken negatively by women. In their mind, you are either flirting with them or you don't believe the are capable of doing the task.

When did this happen, maybe I didn't get far enough long yet.

and Mel isn't a feminist, at all. She's just someone overly concerned about opinions online and people using stuff she says against her.

She seems to have always been that way. Like the way she made a bigger deal out of Game talking about her driving a Honda Accord than necessary.

Most of the people with the worst takes are all former athletes

Damn sadly your not wrong

I blame social media
knowledgeable people are knowledgeable people. In all sports. Weakest players can be the best coaches. And even people that never play the sport can also be the best coach. As long as you put hrs on it. Now they are stuff that if you played you are more knowledgeable of like stuff behind the scenes.

But as far as the game goes u can have good take on that player or not.
 
Ish cries alot and high level Joe wasn't wrong. Unless her bills getting paid was a secret our a specific person was named, why are you whispering?

Maybe if she had multiple men doing this, but how would they know she wasn't referring to them.ish behaving like a trick was being potentially outed
They all do that and its stupid. Specially when joe does it. Bring shit up but then doesnt go into it.

I saw it in a clip. If someone else hasn't already posted, ill try to find and post when get free.
 
Wait wait

My baby gone???

320

I don't think she is GONE, gone. I think things compounded

Allegedly at first she had a planned hiatus to shoot a movie, but now apparently Mel is having health issues. I find it odd that Joe says he hasn't talked to her....... that's weird to me. As an employer, "friend," or "brother in Christ"........

And for Marc to not.....
Ehh, never mind, Mrs "Lamont Hill" probably ended their communications early.

They can't go 3 months without addressing this glaring absence.
 
Wait, So Mel and Marc used to mess around way back?
According to her. I don't think Marc has spoken on it.

He kind of hinted at it on one of the pods by saying he and a a cast member(s) were eskimo brothers. E had a weird look, but at the time I personally didn't think much of it.

The other thing that happened was the time Flip told the story about Mel avoiding Marc's wife at the basketball game. Again, at the time, it didn't make the sense what the issue would be. Kind of makes sense now.

Then it was the time Mel and Marc got into it. It came off as more personal than just being friends.

Mel was avoiding Marc's wife.......?!

I though "Chicago P.D.'"s baby momma had came to the gym and pressed her

Im feeling real gossip girlie, but yes.lol

I think this came from what I consider the Joe Budden verse. According to one of the channels, Marc's wife name is also Melissa. When Filp is telling the gym story and says Big Mel, he's actually referring to Marc's wife; not Mel (JBP).

Flip also mentioned Marc's son was there and Mel avoided looking at/interacting with the kid too. Big Mel (Marc's wife) was there with a friend i guess. So, Mel (JBP) stayed close to Flip and Ish. Apparently, Flip and Ish were confused because they don't really fuck with each other like that. At least not at the time based on Flip's telling of the story on the pod.

The reason i believe this version is because of Marc's reaction to Flip telling the story. Initially, Marc seemed interested in what Flip was trying to say. However, Marc caught on to where Flip was going, got up, face slightly changed from laughing/smiling and walked off the set as Flip tells the story. Its not impossible, but I don't see him doing that if Flip was talking about the actor dudes wife.

To give her grace like emanny. She said it before covid. On another show. And they took it. But she had beef with Jason Lee so he put that vid up.
 
I told @Complex his mans a coon years ago lol. He never boycott target. But bring her on she my kind of lady.

Also this is were joe bodies stuff. Racism topics

I never boycotted Target either.

If im wrong someone can correct. I thought Target did what alot of companies including my own did. Which was basically renaming the program. I can't speak for Target internally but my company hasn't really changed anything meaningful.

My other issue was why was Target being called out when alot of the companies did the same. Honestly, the DEI programs really didn't change much to begin with and we all know it was mostly fake behavior. At least at my company. The only stand out change was more women in the C suite or other leadership roles.

The other part is alot of the people i know shopped at Walmart vs Target due to the belief that Walmart was less expensive. Not saying the DEI thing didn't have any impact, but maybe falling sales were more so related to cheaper options. Target was empty compared to Walmart before the DEI issue. I clearly don't know enough about the actual sells of either though. Just judging on it visually in the stores.

Joe may be just as much as a coon. I started to notice Joe shits on alot of Black movies, TV shows and actors/actresses. Could be a reach. Ice is alot of things but I still don't get the coon accusations. I coon everyday (ICE) is wild though.

Yeah, I did it for a month or whatever, but I never understood the point of not giving your money to Target, but giving it to Amazon, Walmart, CVS....

I think the coon shit from Ice comes from the fact he doesn't care about anything and stands for nothing.

He gets more upset and emotional about Chris Brown than anything dealing with black people.
 
This is gonna go amazingly well, or be a complete shit storm. North Philly jawns are just DIFFERENT. She from around my way. What you see right here is exactly what you get.

She's going to hurt feelings.

Especially Ice's bitch ass and Flip. I don't think she's prepared to tip toe around Ice like everyone else.

I don't think Flip is prepared to deal with another strong personality with a smart mouth.

First person I thought of was Ice. She's not gonna treat him with kid gloves. And you're right about Flip. They're gonna bump heads.
 
This is embarrassing

The sense of entitlement is crazy.

I agree to a point, but Joe entertains it by coming into the spaces. Its easy enough to say Mel has something personal going on that isn't my business to discuss on air or with the cast. That said, up until this week, you'd think Mel was Voldemort at the pod.

So far, Mona has performed way better than Mel. She talks a little much but she really does come off like she hangs around men and is comfortable. While still giving a woman's viewpoint. She's basically female Flip energy wise. Unlike Mel who may have only spent time around men due to her looks and getting more pretty privilege from so called male friends.

Assuming Mona works out and Marc already has, does anyone get cut? Personally, I'd take Marc, Mona, E and maybe push Flip to Patreon only. Parks is already there and fills the void for Ice as far as music topics.
