“I don’t argue with doctors. You know what I’d say to them? ‘Take your clothes off and let me see what you look like.’”
So said the legendary body builder Vince Gironda.
Reminds me of what fitness bros onTwitter dismissively tell skinny reply guys:
“Post fizeek”
i.e., let’s see what you look like.
The reply guys never do, of course.
Got a lot of this in the online marketing world, too – reply guys yapping out unsolicited advice, opinions, conjecture. And I think it would be amusing to dismiss them in a similar manner:
“You send too many emails”
Post bizeek.
“You sell too much in your emails”
Post bizeek.
“Your emails are too long”
Post bizeek.
“Your books are too expensive and nobody reads anymore”
Post bizeek.
“You’re too mean”
Post bizeek.
“You need to offer an audio and PDF version of Email Players”
Post bizeek.
“You should give me lots of value for free before selling me something”
Post bizeek.
“You should let people who cancel Email Players come back”
Post bizeek.
“You should track open rates”
Post bizeek.
“If you don’t use AI you’ll be left behind”
Post bizeek.
“You need a nurture sequence”
Post bizeek.
And on and on and on it goes. I never reply back to these dorks.
But if if I ever did, I’d just say:
“Post bizeek”
i.e., show me YOUR business.
No, don’t show me your client’s business. Or that tech company that was handed $20 million in fundings’ business. Or your favorite goo-roo’s business. Or some guy who wrote a book’s business. Or that blue flame special prancing around the mastermind room talking out of his arse’s business… show me YOUR business, that you built, not someone else… and show me how your business has achieved exactly what I am trying to achieve with my business and maybe I’d listen.
Enough reply guy goop for the soul.
