The biggest thing that makes me skeptical about the story is the idea that the three podcast hosts didn’t just auto-split the money they were getting three ways, how was Nick able to be in a position to not let stav be paid one way or another. Did Nick or Adam have control of cum town or the Patreon money without stav? It doesn’t make sense

i don't think it's ever been for-sure confirmed but i remember way back 5-6 years ago that nick did all the computer stuff and the split is nick 50% and the other two at 25% each. i think nick gets all ad revenue and merch too? again it's been years. it's very likely solely his name on anything official

nick did all the work anyways, and he started it, so it's his thing.

thats also why some old ads would just show up as "nick mullen podcast"

The show is Nick Mullen’s sense of humor, bounced off a dry straight man and a giggling chucklefuck. The show still works with just Adam or just Stav, it simply doesn’t work without Nick. It’s the same reason the Avengers movies paid RDJ more.

I once went to an international event and someone from the Nigerian delegation thought I was rich and immediately tried to pitch me business investment opportunities with his company for 20 minutes in an insanely stereotypical voice, it took every fiber of my being to not laugh in his presence, this podcast ruined me.

My analysis regarding the nick/stav fallout

A couple eps before stav left he said he would need a payout from adam if the show continues into 2023. Nick expressed that if *he* werent contributing to the show, he wouldnt expect to get paid. Stav disagrees. At the time stav was gonna ride out the rest of 2022, so any issue would theoretically be ironed out by the start of 2023. But then stav decides he wants to take the summer off (because he's fat and doesnt have the stamina to work 2 hours a week). Im guessing he expected to keep getting paid during this absence. Nick is annoyed, tells him to just leave now. So here's where the issue lies: either the lecherous pig is still drawing a percentage of the patreon (and nick/adam are pissed) or he's completely cut off (and he's pissed). Given the sudden and extreme antipathy i get the sense that stav might have threatened legal action. Nick spitefully goes all in on creating a completely new entity called TAFS, making it more difficult for stav to claim money from the show. Also, i get the sense nick may have more than a little dirt on the fat man, and is sort of holding that over his head. He has been taking some unchill shots implying stav fucks drunk fans lately

a lot of these fan theories of Nick and Stav now hating each other boil down to Stav still wanting to get paid which is very funny imagining Stav confronting Nick and Adam with a "I'm the real star of the show, and you'll see what happens" type dramatic speech

It always was Nicks's show anyway (he bought all the gear and set it up). I know Stav was a "guest" on the first episode but wasn't he called that for like the first 20 or was that Adam?

I like to imagine him delivering it the impassioned speech with a full pork shoulder under his arm and remnants from the last bite falling from his mouth and being sprayed in chunks at them as he loudly exclaims "I'm the goddamn star of the show".

that wouldn't happen until a couple years later! i just gotta assume they were all completely broke. if neither of them had taken the risk of spending $100 on a mic or w/e and the podcast never got off the ground did they really lose out?

Nick seemed surprised on the episode where they announced Stav leaving, mentioning something about it being abrupt. Which doesn't really line up with the theory, although I guess you could read it as "You don't get paid for eps you aren't on, if you don't like it you can quit now" "okay I quit" "Ah"

it was a 50/25/25 split. nick is in charge of scheduling, recording, uploading, paying for podcast hosting, communicating with advertizers, booking shows back when they did those (excluding funny moms which was adam), cleaning poo poo off of chairs, etc

from an episode forever ago, Nick talking about hanging out after a show and seeing Stav put his arm around a female fan and asking "did you like the show?" and so Nick did the exact same thing with a dude next to him and Stav on the podcast immediately yelling "NO NO shut up that's not how i did it"
