The couch thread

Don't forget to factor in the franchise taxes, heretofore dodged.

Sometimes you say the sweetest things.

Hey lurking affiliates? WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING RRG? Did you pay 1K into the pot for nothing? Damn straight you did.

At a gym somewhere in California, Robb Wolf and Greg Everett are laughing their asses off and everyone around them is wondering why.

[Blaidd Drwg]

For no reason...

So at the x-fit home page, the certs aren't selling out as much.

Also, you can't sell what you don't own.

If anyone from a large company is interested in getting involved, the divorce and all the wonderful depositions is going to scare them off.

You don't even have to actually know how to run a business to know how this will play out. Anybody who's watched half a season of Dragon's Den knows that even if they swung for the fences in their sales pitch, they'd get eaten alive in due dilly.

I'm putting my marker on my private placement call. Who's with me?

[tzg]

What are the assets? What do they actually own?

The company is run like a members-only tree fort, not a business. What do the books look like? Do they even keep books?

This is getting really, really good.

After the dust settles, the Community will go on. HQ, not so much.

If you spent five years in the bunker, how would you spin that on your CV when the time comes to hit the bricks?

The main asset is the name, the goodwill. As unorganized as they seem at times, they really do seem to run a "tight" ship when it comes to logistics, marketing, and, we would have to assume, accounting. Five years in the bunker really would look good on a CV. They're marketing geniuses. The real question is whether HQ can monetize the community they built before they collapse. They've been doing a pretty good job of it so far. And before the community collapses - their business model has, to this point, been to churn through people, but it's going to come back to haunt them eventually. But, good grief, that's what this thread has been saying for years and it hasn't happened yet.

I think there might be a mildly interesting novel or film in this as long as we never have to think about people exercising.

It takes a long time for a fissure to grow in a glacier. You can watch it happen, and although for most of the time there doesn't seem to be much going on, one day it just CRACKS.

Right, but in that time, exponentially increasing revenue. Not many businesses grow like that. Especially not through that economy.

Rebranding that next modal domain

[The Nightman]

Don't forget to factor in the franchise taxes, heretofore dodged.

Or the amount of work and money to developed franchise systems manuals, training courses, and getting franchise approval in each state and having systems and handbooks that abided by each states laws.

Then the question comes up about about standardized training protocols. WIth any franchise there is an expectation of a like experience non-dependent of location, you won't be able to put your own spin on the training. A Big-Mac is a Big-Mac, no matter where you buy it. Will this lead to mass exodus when people are told "this IS what @fit is now".

We are looking into buying into a franchise, and there was a lot more little things than we thought.

Hucksters and swindlers ALWAYS thrive.

Revenue, great, but what's the net? Where did it go?

Hookers and blow. Same ol', same ol'. Yeah, there will be a crash, and it will be glorious, but they had a few great years here and if they can cash out, they'll be riding high.

Up couch's nose?

Couch is a little too chubby to be a cokehead. I always figured him for a fan of the downers, you know, to dull the pain that comes part and parcel with "elite" training...

In honor of the Hindenburg that's about to cast off at HQ, tomorrow's Andro Friday is set to be a barn burner. Here at WildGorillaMedia we're going to be kicking it up a notch.

In the meantime, make sure you tune in to today's pre-show, which is bigger than usual.

The time will come very soon when people at HQ will have to put on their big girl panties and deal, so get yours today.

[friedquads]

Thanks WGM. I'm liking the thickness.

[TerryB]

WGM: do those panties come in men's XL?

You want them to fit snug. Order a pair and try.

Katy Perry as Barky?

Katy Perry as Barky?

Barky as Barky.

She's a star in the making.

Barky as Barky.

She's a star in the making.

Why not Brittney Spears as Barky and Katy Perry as Shari-baby. Make it a musical, with an appearance by J. Lo as Lugo.

[WildGorillaMan]

And just like that the magic is back.
