I love that idea – the potty-mouth jar. And then donate it to the company most in need of your brilliant insight so they can afford you. Or to a good cause….

I have to say, you guys crack me up. I enjoy your chemistry and look forward to future episodes.

Perhaps you should consider a “f-bomb” counter on your site, or maybe a potty-mouth jar where you deposit a looney for each profanity. You’d have enough for a fine bottle of scotch in no time!

Keep up the great work guys! Entertaining as always!

Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment, Mike. Nice to know that there are serial masochists out there listening to us.

Great idea, Jones. Let’s see how well that square peg fits…

Target Audience = Beta Quadrant
Email Blast = Dwarven Catapult
Guerilla Marketing = Orcish Marketing
Stealth Marketing = Cloaking device
Marketing Intelligence = Spidey Senses

All still seams fairly antagonistic there as well.

Mike, thanks. Doug and I both knew there were people like you out there, because we aren’t smart enough to have too many original thoughts between us.

We’ve both tried the podcasting route (seaparately) before with fairly straightforward and informative efforts. We went into this one together with a view to having the sorts of discussions we have face-to-face over beer/scotch and we’re trying to bring that to this podcast.

Doug and I will throw around the militaristic terms soon…but what’s the alternative? PC terms? ugh. There are also a bunch of biblical references that have crept into the marketing lexicon. Evangelists, David, Goliath, apostles, etc.

We’ll figure out some alternatives…maybe cartoon, Star Trek or Tolkein references. It all depends on how much whisky we drink before we hit record.

It is incredibly refreshing to finally hear someone emphatically admit that they are biased with respect to their views and opinions. We all are to some degree, but few are willing to recognize it – even fewer would state it. The edge that you bring to the topic of social media is long overdue. I look forward to your next episode. Incidentally, I am eager to hear the two of you have a more in-depth conversation on more appropriate alternatives for the ingrained militaristic marketing terms (e.g. target market) as per Doug’s reference in the last episode. Further discussions on scotch would also suffice.

When you have to listen to as many mind-numbing Marketing podcasts as you do, I can’t be sure if you’re serious or delusional.

Either way, thanks.
