nobody got paid. we were all unemployed. a company did not exist. if he were to file for unemployment, I’m assuming it would’ve been with Underdog, not me. he wasn’t my employee, he was my co-worker. our contracts expired and we were figuring out what the next move was. everyone got paid for the first time on May 8. he resigned on March 31. of those five weeks he was “unpaid”, we weren’t doing shows for four of them. I was on the phone getting sponsors to help pay for everybody seven days a week, all hours of the day, so that we could try to go independent. that wasn’t even set in stone yet because we were also talking to media companies. he did three shows and then quit on the spot (with no notice and refused to help Emond and Jeremy with a transition on how to produce the shows) because I wouldn’t put in writing what his salary and equity would be when we had just started the process of getting sponsorship. we weren’t even remotely close to being able to put those things in writing. we had no idea what to expect for revenue at that point, so I thought it was an unfair ask given where all of us were at. again, nobody was getting paid, myself included. I had also just purchased everybody brand new laptops for about 15 grand out of my own pocket, him included, because they had company laptops that got locked and didn’t have their own. if I hadn’t done that, the shows would’ve gone on a second hiatus in about two months. I did not ask for or expect to be paid back by him or anybody else. if he had come to me as a friend and said times were tough, I would’ve helped him as best as I could. I’ve offered the same to Tyler many times. he didn’t do that. there’s more to that exchange and important context and I will gladly fill in the rest of the details on the podcast. my response to him wasn’t super warm, but there’s justifiable reason for that. I’ve got nothing I can’t explain in regards to all of this. also want to note that I hate that it’s come to this becuse I was happy to just go our separate ways and thank him for his contributions on the show when we announced his departure and just leave it at that. I genuinely mean it when I say we would’ve never gotten to this point without him, but I won’t stand for the picture he’s painted because it’s not right.

RJ Luis is currently not eligible to play. Will likely file a lawsuit.

Gotta run Volpe here. Wells will do his best to hit into a double play if not

Luke Weaver shares that he talked to Clay Holmes after his performance tonight: "I just was like, 'that was in honor of you. I even had your name written in my hat.' Which I didn't, but it just felt right to say. Kids, don't lie to your parents" 😂

I don’t know what fucking tweets you’re reading. Nice try on the race bait tho
