<2022-08-25T17:35:08.000Z> comradepond: Rand did two takes. Let me know if there was a different format you wanted
<2022-08-25T17:42:14.000Z> svenpai: Sheeeiiit I was hoping you'd do it so he'd be surprised 
<2022-08-25T17:42:35.000Z> svenpai: I'm at the water slides! I can't watch them til I get home but thank you
<2022-08-25T17:43:16.000Z> svenpai: Omg it loaded hahahahha awesome 
<2022-08-25T18:35:41.000Z> comradepond: Yeah. Rand did a cute little head bob for you. And no worries, he has zero ZERO idea it was you asking him. I never lie to him so Rand is super gullible when I am actually lying to him

<2022-08-25T18:41:15.000Z> svenpai: Lmao
<2022-10-01T05:36:41.000Z> comradepond: Be nice to Rand. I quit and he's having a hard time with it.
<2022-10-01T11:22:04.000Z> svenpai: I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH IT 
<2022-10-01T11:22:31.000Z> svenpai: Unquit plz we needs you
<2022-10-01T14:10:59.000Z> comradepond: I will think on it. I will call Rand again and talk about it. Here's the thing. It's to a point, I am doing a show with Cook to cover all the content Rand ignored. There's already a show planned out on thur. It's refreshing to ask someone for show prep and to get it and prepare and be familiar with what's going to be said. Rand's show lacks focus and any organization at this point. It was never this bad before. I don't feel like we're a team anymore. He didn't tell me about the guest he had on to so we can properly promote it or have a special banner made, Rand dropped it cold and that drove me crazy. Rand has had this habit of being allergic to show prep and has a bitchy attitude about it. There's been a long pattern of me doing show prep and even when I tell Rand in advance, the guy just chokes and drops the fucking ball on me. At this point, I feel like we're just having a hard creative difference and it's better I go with the flow and do something else with my time. We're still friends and doing the editing for his show is fine. I had already streamlined the process so that's easy for me. I'm so demoralized from working with Rand, part of me dread trying again. I'm open to talking about it because I do miss him and enjoy his company. I just hate the current show format. 
<2022-10-01T14:13:06.000Z> comradepond: Thanks for any thoughts you have Sven. You have tons more experience than me so maybe you can pick up something I am missing here.

<2022-10-01T14:17:15.000Z> comradepond: This is the link to the google docs we are SUPPOSED to be using and he never fucking does!! I am just FED UP. Wat do?
<2022-10-01T14:20:16.000Z> svenpai: Just be on the show and be funny with your goofy laugh when I'm trying to sleep 
<2022-10-01T14:20:59.000Z> svenpai: Oh hang on I said that before the big effort post loaded on my screen 
<2022-10-01T14:32:41.000Z> comradepond: lol
<2022-10-14T03:04:59.000Z> comradepond: streamyard.com/mkjz8nsyde
<2022-10-14T03:05:17.000Z> comradepond: here ya go sven if you wanna join
<2022-10-17T14:18:14.000Z> svenpai: Don't do the Odysee fud. Graf is wrong. Graf blew it again. 
<2022-10-17T23:24:39.000Z> comradepond: I don't think Graf blew it. I do think dropping Odysee cold turkey is a mistake. We must exist in every space available. Like I am still annoyed at Borzoi about leaving poast, he may have his reasons but leaving a space is yielding ground. Like people say he was chased off ect ect
<2022-10-17T23:27:49.000Z> comradepond: Graf can be really stubborn and it takes him a while to come around on things so I have to openly supportive of the decision regardless until he feels comfortable with constructive criticism again. I am friends with him so I am used to how he works. XD
<2022-10-17T23:28:44.000Z> svenpai: He shouldn't have leaked those emails, he fed the trolls who are doing the Odysee confidence erosion gayop
<2022-10-17T23:28:59.000Z> svenpai: He should have just not done a deal with them. 
<2022-10-17T23:30:13.000Z> comradepond: There is no way he would not have shown those emails. Graf operates by being transparent with his users. 
<2022-10-17T23:30:37.000Z> svenpai: Lol, lmao
<2022-10-17T23:31:16.000Z> comradepond: Told you, I am used to Graf and the way he works. XD
<2022-10-17T23:32:24.000Z> svenpai: He needs to change the way he works. He's taken L after L since kiwifarms got shut down 
<2022-10-17T23:33:04.000Z> svenpai: I guess in exchange for getting Jim and all his retarded fans on the site 
<2022-10-17T23:33:08.000Z> comradepond: Graf is actually better than before if you can believe that. XD
<2022-10-17T23:33:22.000Z> svenpai: You're physically hurting me pond 
<2022-10-17T23:33:27.000Z> svenpai: That's a quote 
<2022-10-17T23:34:22.000Z> comradepond: Odysee should have given Graf a show of good faith by making a donation. It's is very sketchy that they wanted to enter into negotiations without doing so. I have worked in similar fields and Graf 100% right about that
<2022-10-17T23:35:16.000Z> svenpai: Oh, that may be, idk. I do t fd
<2022-10-17T23:35:29.000Z> svenpai: I don't get pitching a fit and then leaking the emails 
<2022-10-17T23:35:52.000Z> svenpai: Just announce you're not doing a deal 
<2022-10-17T23:36:09.000Z> comradepond: Odysee wanted Graf to be flexible on "trust me bro" guarantees. I totally get his anger. It felt like a trap to me too.
<2022-10-17T23:37:12.000Z> svenpai: Yeah I'm not with that 
<2022-10-17T23:37:45.000Z> svenpai: He was sperging about end user tos like it was a contract when there wasnt a contract 
<2022-10-17T23:37:56.000Z> comradepond: Long term. It's fine. This will help Graf find the right investors anyway. *shrug*
<2022-10-17T23:37:58.000Z> svenpai: Like nigga just announce you're not doing jt
<2022-10-17T23:38:47.000Z> svenpai: Idk I'm not happy with him lately. I've been thru a lot of similar crap and he's doing the opposite of what I do so it triggers me cuz I like him
<2022-10-17T23:39:39.000Z> comradepond: Graf is also right about that. If Odysee and Poast have completely different rules, what's the point of working together? Unless, Odysee was hoping Graf would bend the knee for shekels
<2022-10-17T23:40:56.000Z> comradepond: Sorry. Graf is like 99% a benefit to me so I'll live with the one percent where I don't love love his decisions but I can live with them. XD
<2022-10-17T23:41:12.000Z> svenpai: Like I said, he does the opposite of what I do. Announces deal before it's done, fucks up negotiations, leaks all the emails in a pissy fit, opens himself to criticisms on things that didn't happen 
<2022-10-17T23:41:40.000Z> svenpai: Transparency is retarded
<2022-10-17T23:41:44.000Z> comradepond: True. But this is his style.
<2022-10-17T23:42:06.000Z> svenpai: His style is taking L's in public and I hate to see it 
<2022-10-17T23:42:25.000Z> svenpai: Never say a word until something is actually habbening
<2022-10-17T23:43:41.000Z> svenpai: Can you imagine if we announced we were negotiating a partnership with Chris Cantwell and then leaked conversations with him in which it fell thru? Scandal! Intrigue! Faggotry! Embarrassment! 
<2022-10-17T23:44:06.000Z> svenpai: That is confidential BTW I trust you
<2022-10-17T23:44:20.000Z> comradepond: Poast is his first success and first thing he can be an independent business owner with. I think its just growing pains. He'll come around and change on his own with experience under his belt.
<2022-10-17T23:44:39.000Z> svenpai: Hopefully 
<2022-10-17T23:46:28.000Z> comradepond: I know. I never even leaked the discussions I had with Ralph. If you leak discussions, people are spooked to talk with you.
<2022-10-17T23:48:34.000Z> comradepond: Graf is on the matrix alot. You can tag him and have private discussions with there if you want.
