What's David Baye Got Against Palumbo Pudding?

**Musclepapa John** · 01-28-2015, 08:44 AM

RxMuscle came up at MD yesterday over MD's antiquated vbulletin forum technology and Team MD cheerleader David Baye took the opportunity to defend their technology based on criticism of Palumbo Pudding price and the intelligence or lack thereof at the forum. "It's 14 servings for 60 bucks...get your facts straight", "I'll sell people a whey and casein blend and just tell them to mix it with less water...call it pudding...and charge them through the ass!!!", "And those clowns over there will buy that shit up!!!"

In these days and times where sponsored athletes and amateur prep videos are being replaced with their featured stories titled such things as "12 Most Important Sex Studies of 2014" and Evan's likely contract renewal offer including "Affiliate Coupon Tracking" I don't see any proof in their pudding that they are the future or doing anything other than getting raped by the status quo.

The pudding does not cost that . Some web stores might charge that but when leaving the Europa distributing warehouse, the pudding is no where near $60 .

Not sure how that would work having all the different threads. I'm no techie either."

Thankfully there will always be a need for all that he does bring to the table and I have no doubt he will have his own promo code to pitch sales to fans of the pudding he is serving real soon

Even if the pudding was $60 let say there is a discount coupon offered by Evan Centopani & David Baye for instance under their affiliate code. Then say the discount under the affiliate code was for 25% off of the product that say a Dave Palumbo would retail for $60 yielding Palumbo maybe $30 and Evan & David getting $15 with the sale price of $45. You can't get rock bottom pricing and keep funneling money into marketing after all

Let me guess - more expensive plus much lower quality? =) I bet he does.

MHP Soy Pudding is marketed for under $20 on many sites like bb.com

After David Baye's team abandoned the supplement store though (see https://www.facebook.com/mdsupplementstore) they only put out three products and two are the fat burner Thermo Heat with 60 for $60 (4/day dosage recommended thus 15 day supply) that even their editor says makes people sick. David ought to use some of that and maybe be a brand ambassador pimping its affiliate code along with emblazoning it on one of his undersized T-shirts to wear at the shows. If the athletes under sponsorship have to prove their value why not the rest of the "team"? I can just see Peter & Adina with Thermo Heat tshirts designed by David with 200 thread count that likewise retail for $60 to everyone dying to get their hands on a team md tshirt

David Baye doing this comes as no surprise to me because he - like I have said over and over - is grossly inexperienced and in way over his head. He is a fan and forum member but as what Brand X seems to be gearing up to be the heir apparent to Shawn Ray as the main interview guy, he needs to separate the two. Being a fanboy and main cog of their online machine does not mix well.

I'm not shitting on him, per say, because I don't even know the guy. I have never met him in person and we only exchanged a few e-mails where he was cool with me. So this is not a bash at all, but merely constructive criticism.

My bigger problem with him lies with his two bosses and the fact that he and Gregg Valentino once had an ongoing forum battle and I and fiercely loyal to my buddy.

So to see Baye throwing a dull dart at Dave Palumbo over the price of one of his products is a futile attempt at knocking the competition, and a reach at that. Content is everything and if Brand X had any that could stand alone, they wouldn't even be concerned with RX...especially price tags on pudding.

Anyone know why "Brand X" abandoned the store?

Looked like lack of interest on the part of customers.
They relaunched the brand with the company name change at www.advancedmolecularlabs.com
Rather hard to locate from the MD website and they only have three products as mentioned above and low search rankings compared to Prime Nutrition one of their lead mag advertisers for instance on Alexa.
Makes a person go hmmmm....
