Loren Feldman says he’s a genius and I’m a dope. Yep, he’s talking about me, Shawn, Sam and Lisa for our little puppet spoof/online war thing we made up around my Twittermethis project. Here’s the latest Geekcast where we come come clean about the whole thing.
So if you haven’t been following the drama, here’s a good rundown from Kevin at System0. Anyway, as you’ll hear in the video below, I think Feldman is a funny and talented dude and he’s also very smart. I do think he’s got some issues though. My biggest point is that he doesn’t own shtick on the Internets. Anyone can do what he did, even badly like we did, and make it work. Yeah, he does it better, but so what? It can be done, by anyone.
The funniest part about all of this is now he’s super pissed at us/me for doing what we did and he’s unfollowed and blocked me on Twitter and is now insulting me publicly. It doesn’t matter, he did the same to everyone else he’s now good buddies with, so I imagine you’ll be seeing us on video together hamming it up in 6 months someplace. I’m open to that. I think the guy is funny as hell. If not, I’ll live. I’m sure he will too.
FYI, 1939Media on Twitter isn’t me or anyone else I know. If we were going to do that we’d tell you we did it.
Mike from 1115? I'm Kevin from System0 :):)
Sorry Kevin, fixed.
I'm thrilled it wasn't true! I half thought it wasn't, and considered emailing you several times to ask you – 'come on, dude, just tell me if it isn't true so I'll feel better – I won't tell a soul – I promise!'
Haha!
Hi Jim,
What is a zlister anyway? Feldman is to Springer (Mr. Shocker) as Shock Talk shows is to Universal Masuganas.
Koyofur, I'm the zlister I guess. I'll take it. No big deal.
Lisa, yeah, it wasn't true. I get along too good with those guys to be mad at them.
Loren is the one stealing our shtick with this faux taunting of you, Jim
His work is derivative of the groundbreaking efforts from Sam and myself.
His amazing, genius formula:
1. rages at somebody
2. elicits a response
3. cozies up to target of his rage
4. hits rewind and starts over with somebody else
Transparent… boorish… lame.
I'm tired of saying shtick today. What else can we call it?
How about comedy stylings from rank amateurs?
Interesting story, Jim, quite entertaining, as you always are, and I learnt a few things. The fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf! comes to mind. By which I mean I won't know now, will I, when you guys are being serious? A calculated risk, no doubt.
Good morning Jim,
Thanks for being so transparent! Having only watched your clip the first thing that came to mind for me as a replacement word was “frizzamyer” or an age appropriate, need signaling child behavior. It is a term that I have coined to replace negative labels altogether. Not knowing the age of the gentleman I mean no harm: just talking from a Pre-school and Family Life coaching perspective. Take care. :)
There's a fearless parent in all of us.
Seen yours lately?
