XOC - Round Two?

Extreme Odd Couple Podcast
Round Two?


Well, for the last four months the airwaves have been quiet, the white flags were raised and things seemed to have ceased. For 50 episodes Steve Corino and Rob Dimension did their best to entertain anyone who would listen. The Extreme Odd Couple Podcast was a hit, having nearly 25,000 listeners per week and both Steve and Rob felt the time was over, so they packed up their microphones, their hatred and sarcasm and went silent on Nov 16th of last year.

Many people asked "When will you guys return?". Corino and Dimension would simply respond with "It's over". Too be honest, the duo stopped talking, the friendship ceased and the twitter war was over...until NOW. A spark was lit and an idea was hatched. Corino had this to say "We need seasons like any kind of show. I want to break the show into seasons, meaning we will record Twenty episodes, then take a six to eight week break. Just like Baseball, we need time to refresh and live for more stories." Dimension added "It's tough to stay fresh, especially when we talk everyday. You run out of things to talk about and the last thing we want is for the show to be blah."


When we last left the guys, Dimension and Corino's lives had changed. Dimension released his first film and walked away from Pro Wrestling forever. Corino moved away from Rob and is about to make a lifestyle change, he will become married! If there was ever a point in these guys lives where they were complete opposites, it's NOW.


What can we expect? Probably a lot of insults, a few life lessons and a lot of laughs. Corino and Dimension announced that end of March, beginning of May will be the start of Season 2 of the XOC. You wanted the return...we can only hope, you're ready.

Keys to Being Successful in Social Media

Keys to Being Successful in Social Media

by: Social Media Guru, Rob Dimension

In today's Social Media, between Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and now even Klout (I have a 58 score, so I'm Influential...so listen up) it's hard to stand out, be accepted and more importantly, be heard. Never fear, as I, the Social Media Guru, Rob Dimension is here to help you gain more followers, attract more friends and not be a doucher.

Let's get things straight, Girls will always be successful online because guys are horny and have no real sense of reality. Things like photoshop, eyeliner and boobs helps their cause. As guys, we are grunts, we are slaves to our own penis. We lust women online, hoping for a follow, friend request or nip slip.

Let's get the terms NOT to use out of the way first:

Bro - for years, the term Bro was thought of as a friendly, brotherly term...well, as a Guru of the Social Media networks, I am here to tell you...it's awful. Being in the Professional Wrestling business, it's a term that is thrown around, from one to another to create this imaginary bond between each other. It does nothing. It doesn't make me like you, if anything, I makes me realize how shallow you are. I think of it as a condescending term...I loathe Bro. Do your friends, co-workers and anyone else that believes you are a smug asshole a favor...stop with the Bro. I have a fkn name..use it.

Hun - ugh...let me be the voice of reason - You will NOT get Laid calling a girl, Hun. Most Women, ok, maybe Women that have some dignity will think you're a tool for using the term Hun. If you are not 80 years old Grandmother who enjoys peanut brittle, you have NO business using the word. I have come to a conclusion, if you are a low life pervert who thinks he is above Women, this is the way you talk down to them. Have some self respect, if you use it...STOP..or if you're a female and a guy calls you that, stop them and remind them that you are not a cheap whore and they have 0 chance to get laid.

Welp - I jokingly "banned" this word on my highly intellectual podcast "The Extreme Odd Couple Podcast" found at http://www.xocpodcast.com/ but, in all sincerity I really meant it. Upon my investigation, it was supposed to shorten the word "well"...let's count letters...WELP is 4 and WELL is 4. In essence, I believe this word was handed down to as the 1st step to the downfall of mankind. Let's take a closer look; "Well, I really believe I like that shirt" does sound like you've made a decision and are sure about what you like. Now, "Welp, I really believe I like that shirt" sounds like you are 7 yrs old, live in Mayberry and possibly download kiddie porn.

Follows and Retweets!

Follows - Twitter is my social media of choice, as it makes life much easier. Facebook is clogged, glitchy and is the equivalent to what MySpace was with bands near their end. I hardly ever go on, unless someone posts on my wall, which I generally delete unless it's a compliment...(because I'm self absorbed, yet needy)

On Twitter, it's not uncommon for someone to ask "Can I get a follow?", which I usually respond with "No, but you can get a Block". While some think that's mean, I feel it's YOU, the begger, being a bit of a bully, making me feel less manly by feeling the need to give into peer pressure. Someone has to take a stand! I tend to look at my new followers (remember...I'm self absorbed) and see if they're legit, share interests and if they are Hot. Myself, I tend to follow my friends or people who I've met or even influences. Trust me, I'm no Mr. Popular but I'm content with what I have...I would be less depressed if I have 2,000 followers at the end of Feb, but I'm just being needy. Don't ask for Follows...don't be Dumb! #DUMB

Retweet - The 2nd laziest feature in Social Media...right after the "Like" button on Facebook. NEVER ask for a retweet...EVER. This throws up the red flag to all around you (unless of course, I ask for one) that you are a Turd. No one wants to be a copycat...the retweet, in the simplest form, is a blatant copy. I've been labeled a "Retweeting Whore" on occasions but I also torrent music, so my bed is made. I'm here to shed light on Social Media problems, not fix mine.

Retweet's can be fun, especially when you're offered a compliment. It allows your "friends" to see that you've fooled others. They obviously haven't read my guide or are new to Twitter. If you really want to make a statement, write a tweet..then let your friends decide if they want to retweet it. It's a new thing called Free Thinking. Hastag #RetweetWhore if your friend is guilty!

Hopefully this Guide helps your journey in Social Media Networking...Feel free to follow me @RobDimension on Twitter...don't forget to Retweet my funny shit and stop being a Doucher!

My Own Personal Demon

My Own Personal Demon

You know...Steve Corino challenging me to a Bowling match has made me relive and look back at past experiences. If you do not listen to The Extreme Odd Couple Podcast, then you aren't aware of what's going on. You aren't aware of my past...well..let me share some things...

I was a Professional Bowler in the early 90's...yes..a full fledged, card carrying member. I went to PBA school in Florida and passed with flying colors. I know..crazy right? You need to go to school to be a professional bowler...well, you used too...things have changed..but back to the story.

So, for the past 12 years, Steve Corino, my hosting partner for the XOCPOdcast, has been bragging to me about his Bowling skills...and I often just laugh and ignore his challenges. Think about how often the tables are turned on him and some goof challenges him to a Wrestling match. It happens...especially when you are perceived to be good at something. My history with Bowling is a rocky road filled with Love, Laughter and Hate.

I grew to hate the game/sport..not just hate..but HATE. For so many years it consumed my life. I owned my own business within Bowling, I traveled the US because of Bowling (even moving my family cross country several times). The weekend excursions to tournaments, the bowling in 2 leagues...the pressure. Yep, pressure to always improve. You have to understand, Bowling is a personal demon for me..I'm always looking over my shoulder (I know, this sounds insane or silly) waiting to be drawn back into it......and the itch is returning.

My Wife, Kim, whom I actually met in a Bowling center, asked me yesterday "Are you going to accept the challenge?"......I looked at her and didn't have an answer. She noticed I was beginning to scour the Net looking for current information....searching for a reason to say "Yes". I made money Bowling, it supported my family for many, many years. The sport has been good to me, it made me stronger by always putting pressure on ME, no one else. It's a personal sport...not a team sport..it's all on YOU.

Now you know how deep the Challenge is going...I have stated I will make an announcement in Jan. Until then...I try to keep the Demon at bay.

Corino Challenges ME!!! Stay Tuned............



The Challenge

On the XOC Podcast (www.XOCPodcast.com) Steve Corino challenges, the former Professional Bowler, Rob Dimension. Dimension claims he is "retired" but Corino states that Dimension is just scared. Will Dimension accept? Can Corino back up his words on the lanes? Stay tuned..in 2012 details will be released. Voice YOUR opinions on Twitter @SteveCorino and @RobDimension - Get Involved!!

Stay Right here for details!!!
