Great job Ron bringing that up to Chick !! I like how he changed the subject as fast as he could to the PDI.

OH MAN Bob is going off on the PDI ....

hahahhaha

More melting ... He finnaly raises his voice .. I have to turn down the speakers

Has Beens · « **Reply #2 on:** June 05, 2006, 06:03:00 PM »

I am loving this......I have a new respect for Ron. There was a major melt about to happen. I think the "squad" needs to give Ron a a special invite.

jaejonna · « **Reply #3 on:** June 05, 2006, 06:04:49 PM »

Ron cut him off and Chic turned up the Volume

Bob: "Do you think many getbiggers are wasting an opportunity to talk to the pros? I think it should be a chance of a lifetime here"

Ron: "People want entertainment value. The good, the bad, the gossip."

Dan: "Listener suggestion: Should a person who chooses to be anonymous be allowed to post?"

Ron: "Sometimes you need to be anonymous to get something out. If you put your name to something, you may lose your press pass, your placing, your contract. We've seen it happen time and time again. In order to make the sport more positive, we need to have these issues out there."

Bob: "To the Joe Blow or Big Gunzzz out there- what's with the bashing? Why bash on the pros? Why rip on them?

Ron: "I don't like malicious bashing. Some BBers just cannot handle criticism."

Dan: "As the popularity has increased, has it changed the way you moderate the boards? "

Ron: "I have a lot more responsibility. There is a board designed specifically for talking to pros. I don't make money off the site. It's become a daily hobby. "

Bob: "As a pro who takes heat there- and has continued to post - I tell you whatever is on my mind. "

Ron: "Sometimes you deserve it, Bob"

Bob: "They ARE the peanut gallery. That post was to the GOOFS that are on there. I love the fans. But I stand by that- absolutely. They bash ppl for no good reason. I have no prob calling them the peanut gallery- that's what they are."

Ron: "There are only ten people that post like that continually"

Bob" That under 10 people DOMINATES THE BOARD. Let me get your take on the PDI:

Ron" I have no problem with the PDI. Anything that gives the sport more direction is good. I'll ask this of anybody- where are the sponsors/money coming from? WIll there be one event? What will happen to the athletes that commit.

Bob" Wayne is just GIVING away cards. Do you think that's a mistake? Not having qualifiers.?"

Ron: "I'm not sure about that. I think it makes the IFBB more interested in trying to improve and listening to their fans."

Dan: "We've all known wayne- and he is no fool. I'm going to assume he realizes the qual of athletes will have a fundamental impact upon the quality of his events. Are they handpicked? Is there criteria that we're not privy to? The quality of the athletes are

Ron: "I consider wayne a friend. I will not disrespect him. I consider S Weinberger a friend. A friend is a friend. That's how I treat people. If you disrespect me, you're not a friend anymore. That is the way I live my life."

Dan" We appreciate all the promotion and support you've given the radio show.

Ron" Anything that is good for the sprot, I would like out there- new shows, CHOC events, etc. It should be out there. I wish more fans would go to the expos and support shows. Once you go to one, your attitude will change, and will make it more positive for everyone out there".

*I typed as fast as I could- listen to replay for complete piece*

Bob nearly melted when talking about the 10 members on here who don't worship him.

I must admit- Ron kept it real up there! Didn't let Bob bully him at all, and allowed Bob to dig his own hole on the peanut gallery issue. He kept calm too- which is more than Bob did, unfortunately.

Bravo!

10 members who DOMINATE the site and give Bob headaches so his wife aint getting any. I think this night is gonna be one of those for Bobby.

Ron · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2006, 06:19:30 PM »

First of all - I didn't own Bob. He says it like it is, I try and do the same. If you ever met Bob, you will find out he is pretty cool, and will argue and debate over any issue as long as it doesnt resort to malicious bashing.

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2006, 06:23:00 PM »

Kiddin aside I think it was a great show, and the sport would be less without Bob. Keep it up.

just read little bits and pieces of the interview with Bob Chick and i loved the part where you told him that some pros can't handle criticism, hahahaha, monster guts, good for you.

And I agree on that. As a public figure in a sport dominated by pictures, comments, and physique, comments are a way of life. What I don't agree with is the malicious bashing comments, designed to specifically hurt for no reason. Like saying 'You suck' when you can say 'Your distended stomach was not pleasing to the eye'

should we tell Kamali, "your arms overall size leaves a fan with a feeling of disappointment, perhaps you could spend some more time performing bicep/tricep supersets, ok, stupendous old boy, care for some tea?

Vince B · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2006, 07:07:41 PM »

Everyone gets treated differently here and I don't think one can generalize and say that every bodybuilder gets bagged when he posts. I have been called names and treated disrespectfully on other forums but never on Getbig. That surprizes me because if what Bob says is true then many of the regulars here are nasty. Maybe I wasn't that big or something? Anyway, in the old days I would have been called a pro because I own a gym. Anyone who owns a gym knows you have less time and incentive to train than your members! I have an engineering factory and make most of my own equipment plus do repairs and modifications for my large gym.

What Ron said about respecting friends is true. That is something we all should listen to. There is way too much disrespect shown to other people. I think that explains why so few champion bodybuilders post here.

I love the sport of bodybuilding and the gym business. However, things have changed over the years and there are issues now that wouldn't have been tolerated years ago. I think when men could win contests with breasts sort of spoiled the sport as we knew it. The gals did the reverse thing and most supplemented what they lost with silicon. That also spoiled women's bodybuilding because it allowed them to use steroids.

I still design and build new bodybuilding machines and that is a dirty job but rewarding when you see your members enjoying them. To still make my body grow at my age (64) is very satisfying and keeps me feeling much younger than others my age.

Good luck to any organization that does it right for bodybuilders. I think competition can benefit everyone including the fans.

Garrett.

Rich Jones.

Dexter.

Cutler.

Melvin.

Galanti.

Rhino.

Heath.

Dugdale.

TJ.

Rusty Jeffers.

Dozens of female competitors.

All received tons of props and respect here. Why? Well, they have treated people nicely, and didn't arrive with prison/domestic/drug sales/trash talking in their history.

Strange that King, Bob, Shawn, and Titus get treated like asses. I wonder why that is?

onlyme · « **Reply #20 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:41:42 PM »

I gotta tell you Rhino (Jack) got more shit on here than anyone. He breezed through it with flying colors and is now liked by everyone. He is real and the things he says he backs up. He body is looking great and will look awesome at the NOC. Chic is a pro and I like him, but Chic cannot handle the bashing like others do. Thats just him. He obviously loves BB. To put up with what he has to he has to love it or he is really dumb.

like i said on the other thread, thanks Ron for providing this filter of anonymity. now if you could
only reign in the moderator with 4 accounts it would be better. with all do respect bob chick your suggestion that it takes education to be a IFBB bodybuilding judge cant be serious. IFBB judging is a joke. an IFBB promoter in one town is the next town's IFBB judge. talk about a circus sideshow.

UK Gold · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2006, 05:49:22 AM »

Rhino's m.eltdowns were of such a spectacular nature you can't help but like him. He seems real; not some fake, boring, plastic, pretentious, weider pricipled gear monkey that thinks the sun shines out of their cock ravaged ass.

jaejonna · « **Reply #23 on:** June 06, 2006, 06:06:03 AM »

It was a good interview.

GetBig is the premere board for cuttin edge info relating to BB

Ron was very soft spoken, yet still manage to ~~own~~ relay his point of view to counter Bob's actions in the past.

Personally, I think Bob thinks that all pros should be worshipped. When I see an NFL player who is a no name offensive lineman, I dont go asking him for his autograph and what not. Now if I seen like a Micheal Stahan or Tiki Barber ,then that is something diffrent and means more cause they are stars.

In BB there are probably five to six guys all time that I would be like , WOW !!
Arnold, Lee, Dorian, Ronnie, Jay, and prob. Cormier. Outside of them maybe ten more who I would be like ,"Oh guess who I met.."

All the rest are nobody special to me and prob. to others like me, regardless of some laminated IFBB pro card.
HECk I make more than 90% of the pros !!

REgardless, these are issues that can be debated here and that makes Get Big a cool place to chill .
