interesting read i stumbled upon on (ok mostly just , who the fuck cares stuff- but a couple of nuggets)
http://strengthaddicts.com/JohnRomano.htmlthe last part seems pretty recent :
Christian Duque: Please address statements made by industry insiders claiming that VPX CEO Jack Owoc
has spent far too much money on the site and show, than both are worth.
John Romano: LMAO at ‘industry insiders.” Who might these geniuses be? Sounds to me like the classic
keyboard desperado working off the family computer in his mom’s basement. I love how people on the
boards claim to know all this inside industry information when in reality they are just making it up. In actuality,
Jack has spent very little on this radio show because we host it ourselves. The only cost we incur is that of
post production and it amounts to peanuts. The Shotgun Big Show page is one of the top visited
pages on the VPX site with well over 10,000 downloads a month. As far as the site goes, VPX’
s directive is to be totally digital. The VPX site is the core of our marketing machine and we dedicate an entire
department to web marketing, with everything, including our server, housed at VPX. Whomever these
“industry insiders” are assessing what this marketing machine is “worth” are clearly retarded.
Christian Duque: Additionally, please speak to rumors that you and Lee will be out soon...
John Romano: Well, since neither of us are gay I don’t think we’ll be coming out. Or do you mean out as in
were going out to party? Certainly you can’t mean “out” as in departing from one of the most listened to
shows in our industry. … How does one speak to rumors anyway? Or should I say why? Especially when
such rumors are totally baseless, not to mention the erroneous consisting of nameless, faceless, internet
retards. Lee and I aren’t going anywhere.
ah the good old times
