Willie,
The price for that domain name may go into the hundreds, or even, possibly, the thousands.
Are you sure this is an investment you're willing to make?

Well...it's like this...I make a shitload of money, travel all over,and represent the #1 company in the industry as their official spokesman, filming, making appearances, webcasting pro BB shows, and co hosting PBBW.
HOW YOU DOING?

The guy is 20 something? Now I'm jealous
-
I believe Ryan is 28...
-
Yep, I think his birthday is December 1978, making him three years older than me.
Bob and everyone who works for BB.com are well taken care of.
If anyone from BB.com sees that, can you pass it on to Webmaster Will that I am interested in another batch of supplements for review? The other reviews went well and are posted on my site, with a few left to go.

In terms of money and long-term health prospects?
Better than you.
Although I admit you have me soundly beat on the whole "bodybuilding industry fame" thing... I guess I'll go slit my wrists now. ::)

Bobert, I'm not being a dick in any way, but for bbing.com do they give you a 401k or health insurance or some kind of other benefits other than a straight paycheck? I don't care how much they pay you, i'm sure you're doing ok, I've seen the shirts you wear. ;D

I'm not listed as an employee...I take care of my own health coverage. Yes, I have other benefits like profit sharing, etc...

come on, stop being dicks and let the man speak.
he obviously has an auto body shop custom make his shirts.

thanks man. i like to determine the worth of an employer by the "benifits" as much as the straight paycheck. profit sharing's nice. i think it's safe to assume that you're doing better than 99 percent of your fellow ifbb pros. what do you attribute that to? good business sense, being at the right place at the right time, or simply having the ability to put on pants and have a high school diploma (not a diss, but right there you put yourself in the top 5 percent of ifbbers)?

I make a shitload of money

where is bodybuilding.com headquarters? Ask Ryan D when he will put GNC out of biz.

Boise, Idaho. Ryan is a smart guy as is the rest of the Deluca family. They are good people and treat their team well. There will be some very exciting new things coming from Bodybuilding.com before the year is out.
Good move on having Ryan on the show and look forward to the interview.

Which site... Getbig or BB.com?
-
Ah - Ryan DeLuca - the prez of bodybuilding.com on the radio. Wondering what excellent announcement shall we hear today! Truth be told, Ryan is pretty cool, and the DeLuca's treated us quite nicely when we went up to Boise, Idaho for the Boise Fitness Expo.
-
Which site... Getbig or BB.com?
bb.com - but will keep ya posted when it goes live. ;)
-
here we go
-
love these stories about how these guys build these businesses.
-
i would have thought bb.com did a lot more than 70 Million in sales/year though.
-
Titus news... Is kelly gonna turn snitch on craiggers?
-
Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan - Nevada Supreme Court is considering the motions , looks like there will be no plea bargain, case most likely will go until next year. It is going to get dragged on again and again.
Bob Cicherillo has a background in law. The idea that a wife can't testify against the husband. We will keep waiting.
Craig & Kelly have been sitting in jail for 16 months.
Still to come, a preview of the NY Pro and Ryan DeLuca, number 5 on the CEO under 30 list.
-
In all seriousness, BB.com will probably run the bb industry in 3-5 years.
And it will most likely be a good thing, because they know how to make money.
-

I know a chick who can check their records to verify.
-
I like rags to riches stories.
I just hope he isn't just a schmoe with an effeminate voice.
-
Wow, he bought the bodybuilding.com domain name for $20,000.
BBing.com is higher than maxim, newsweek, sportingnews.com, and others in alexa.
-
I didn't catch if he said where he bases his company out of. Anyone know?
-
Bodybuilding.com is based in Boise, ID.
-
I'm not sure why he wants to get into bed with the Weider's. He has a great thing going without steering out in that direction...
-
Why so hard on the weiders jock?.... doesnt make sense.
-

Joe is retired and Ben has passed the torch to Raphael Santonya...what are you talking about?
-
What are you talking about, Bob?
Weider's is a generic term for the company that they founded. it's irrelevant whether they passed any torch. It's imo a bad idea for Mr. DeLuca to be doing business with them.
I'll use Mr. DeLuca's own words: "It's like rival television networks"
And we all know that the major networks get along together so well.

Why?
-
imo Mr. DeLuca has a great thing going. He has a solid reputation....and he has worked hard to obtain that reputation. Whether you will admit it or not...there's a taint of dubious business ethics & practices that have emerge from the Weider empire over the decades. Maybe they've cleaned up their act...it's irrelevant.
They need him more than he needs them.

According to whom?
Bodybuilding.com's relationship building is helping the industry and you want to complain?
Stick to basketball Mutumbo.

here we go
LOL
-

How is it helping the industry? No one is complaining about 'relationship building'.
People are questioning whether it's wise for Mr. DeLuca to crawl in the pits with the snakes.

HOW YOU DOING?
LOL,
When I saw this "line" it made me think of that euphemesim. In the tri state area(NY,NJ,CT) and affliates of Wendy Williams Radio show.
"how YOU doin..." is the line to imply that someone is on the " downlow".
Apropos in BB.

I just finished listening to the replay of the show and was impressed with the vision for Bodybuilding that Ryan Deluca shared with PBW. The future of bodybuilding looks to be in good hands with the likes of Ryan Deluca in charge.
What I'd like to see is the eventual buy-out of the Weider publications by bb.com (which would be advanced research press' biggest fear).
