The livestream originally scheduled for today has been canceled, so a 5 day "weekend" for employees of Verb.
Rory is such a kind boss. Not so kind to shareholders, though.
His real name is Nosmo King.
By the way... Is "noradio" your real name?
Don't beat yourself up too much. Forbes is owned by a billionaire.
Forbes magazine’s new majority owner is a 28-year-old billionaire who made his money in self-driving car tech
You did something naughty, didn't you?
I would never suggest that someone use the service 12 foot ladder to bypass the Forbes paywall, since that would be a very naughty thing to do.
But if you would like to see how the service works, head over to:

Market.live taking a *4* day weekend. Nothing scheduled for today, Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Market returns on Monday with a single livestream on the schedule: Jakoby will be back making another sandwich!
And the sad part is that even when/if the evidence of sedition and other crimes are revealed, there will be a substantial number of his followers who will still vote for Orange Jesus because....mental illness.
You replied to the wrong post.
I wish you a speedy recovery, my friend.
but bit my tongue.
telling the person who has done just that for the past 17+ years
And...the mushroom is always invited to the best parties. Because he's a fungi.
Like the guy who set up a stand on the street corner selling apples for $100 each. He just needs to sell one a day.
I popped into another livestream earlier this afternoon. The number of people tuned in was *5*. Subtracting me and Verb people monitoring the stream and the actual number of people watching was 1 or 2 at best.
I'm trying to get onto the 2pm (eastern) livestream now with the two obnoxious jerks. Apparently they failed to show up because the stream isn't running.
Rory is doing a great job for shareholders.
Tune in to find out. Jakoby says there are *9* people watching. Bring it up to 10, Jolly.
The product that Jakoby is featuring right now costs $ 36.74 at Walmart with free shipping.
Editing to add: the slicer isn't working. He's skipping the finger guard to get it to work. No wonder Walmart shoppers have rated it 2 stars. And Jakoby has already told us that he's loaded up on Tylenol and he may pass out!
The exact same product costs $ 70.99 (with free shipping) at Market.
Just a few minutes until you can tune in on Market.Live to watch Jakoby make a sandwich!
I don't know if it was the company dumping shares into the market or not, but if history is any guide, it surely was.
After 20+ years in business, the company still has no meaningful revenue, despite Mark's periodic representations that "big contracts have been signed."
Everything that Mark says is a lie. And with him and the two other cronies drawing huge salaries (and apparently several of their children are now on the payroll - because why not?), that cash has to come from somewhere and it ain't coming from customers of their products.
CFGN is a market maker, noted as being a broker dealer that helps companies dump shares into the market.
Market.live taking another 3 day weekend...because no one has time to watch livestreams on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
And Monday has one livestream scheduled where Jakoby (who seems like a very nice guy, albeit quite the sad sack) will be showing people how to make...wait for it...a sandwich.
That kind of intriguing content will surely cause the money to start rolling in (pun intended).
On its surface, a dividend of 10% doesn't sound onerous, but we'll have to wait for TenKey to provide his opinion on the T&Cs of the offering.
Based on Streeterville's track record, it seems unlikely that they would lend money to such a Dumpster fire as VERB at anything less than a usurious interest rate.
And you can be sure, as always, that Rory will piss away the $3 million just as he's pissed away hundreds of millions of investor money over the last few years.
Maybe the sell orders referred to are people trying to sell their shares?
How did you verify that - "Sell orders piling up"?
Doesn't Musk own 100% of X?
I haven't been keeping track of the "big hires" and "rainmakers" that Rory has hired over the years. I recall that Kate who came to VERB from QVC left over a year ago. The reason for her departure was said to be health related, but later Kate said that she was perfectly fine and she just chose to move on. Because who would want to stay on the stinking/sinking ship? Answer: People without other options.
Rory supposedly make millions when the tech company he was involved with was sold. I don't understand why he would have lived in a sub-par apartment.
The company terminated the lease in Newport Beach a few months ago. The official corporate HQ are now located in a Las Vegas condo where Rory resides. The company is leasing space in Los Angeles where they have studios to do livestreams.
At least one of the Utah brothers is involved in a new software venture that targets the same Multi Level Marketing (aka Pyramid Scheme) schmucks that that their former company (Sound Concepts) lured in.
I'm starting to think this Rory guy is a bit irresponsible with shareholder money.
Makes sense. Tots are pretty much fried potatoes and grated onion, right? Same as hash browns.
I really like them with eggs.
You can buy frozen tater tots in the supermarket. Toss them into an air fryer / convection oven and....
TOTS!
While elderly drivers aren't typically driving at high speed and causing major wrecks, they do more than their fair share of properly damage as they tend to bump into other vehicles when driving.
I was in a meeting a while back where someone asked about parking in a particular area. The individual was warned not to park there because a senior citizen get together was scheduled a short time later. History was that the lot turned into a game of bumper cars as the past-their-prime drivers would pull in and out of parking spots.
The meeting attendee ran out and moved his car.
Can we please add "witchhunt" to the list of forbidden words?
I guess people have nothing better to do.
Some years back a Sonic Drive Thru came to a nearby town. For several weeks after the grand opening they had to hire off duty police officers to keep traffic off the adjacent highway since the line of cars waiting to patronize the place was backing into the travel lanes.
These days the place is begging for business.
As I read your post I was getting very concerned that the RV Resort was a nudist colony for seniors.

The pickleball tournament was held at the Happy Trails RV Resort in Surprise, Arizona, and within five years included 275 participants.
I'd suggest that Junior came to the realization that Daddy would cut him out of the will if he continued to snub his father.
Junior, on the other hand, refused to talk to his father for a year or more. I really have to give him credit for that. But I guess he used up all the self esteem he had...
Becoming an American changes you. You eat more, it seems.
Such a mystery
She can't seem to stop doing stupid shit.
She just needs to lie about where she lives. Tommy Tuberville lives in Florida, yet he is a Senator representing Alabama. And Mark Meadows claimed to live in a trailer in North Carolina.
It's not like she has any moral objection to lying.
The company always need fresh cash to pay salaries.
NOM NOM NOM NOM.
Other than the momentarily blip where Microsoft paid a licensing fee to (then SFOR) to kill the patent infringement lawsuit, the stories have been pretty much the same for the last 20 years.
Says Mark Kay: "Big deals coming next year. We can't say too much and we know that we've said this before, but this time I have a really good feeling!"
Mark in private: "I just shut them up for another 12 months. This will l keep the scam going so I can collect my generous paycheck and benefits. What a bunch of saps!"
One more change over the last 18 months or so is how Onstream Media sued ZRFY for patent infringement. Per the notes to the financials: The above Onstream litigation has been resolved subject to a Confidential License and Settlement Agreement.
Oh the irony.
Is Rory planning to sell? What is there to sell?
The balance sheet doesn't list any intellectual property (patents or copyrights trademarks). There is $ 4.5 million of capitalized software development costs, but that's just money that Rory has pissed away that hasn't hit the P&L yet.
Note this gem:
In August 2021, the Company entered into a term sheet that provided the Company the option to purchase the Primary Contractor provided certain conditions are met. In November 2021, the Company exercised this option. The Company and the Primary Contractor subsequently reached an agreement-in-principle on the terms for the Company’s acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the final consummation of which is subject to the execution of a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and the completion of an audit of the Primary Contractor that is satisfactory to the Company (the “Primary Contractor Audit”), as well as the fulfillment by the Primary Contractor of certain other conditions set forth in the term sheet. The term sheet stipulates that if the Company had entered into the SPA and the Primary Contractor had the Primary Contractor Audit successfully completed prior to May 22, 2022 (or a subsequent mutually agreed upon date) and the Company thereafter determines not to consummate the acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the Company would have been liable for a $1,000 break-up fee payable to the Primary Contractor. However, as of May 22, 2022, the SPA had not been executed and the Primary Contractor Audit was not completed. The parties are still working together and in discussions regarding the transaction. Based on the term sheet, the purchase price for the Primary Contractor would have been $12,000, which could be paid in cash and/or stock, although the final terms of the acquisition if pursued will be set forth in the final executed SPA. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed on the terms set forth in the term sheet or at all.
They've supposedly been working on an agreement to buy the underlying technology used on the Market platform (presumably the company being Viimmi) but after more than 2 years they haven't struck a deal. And Rory put VERB on the hook for a $ 1 million break-up fee (amounts shown in the paragraph above are in thousands) if the deal is called off.
In my area many towns and counties are either constructing new pickleball courts or converting existing tennis courts.
My town spent tens of thousands extra to purchase noise deadening "blankets" that surround the pickleball courts on 3 sides to keep the noise level down. I took a walk through the area on Christmas morning and the courts were all full. On the sides where the blankets were present the noise was very muffled. On the one unprotected side (that faces a football field) the sound of the PING was quite prominent.
Indeed there was a "first" pickleball channel. I invested in it. Lost everything. Turned out to be a total racquet.
A "new" pickleball channel? There was an old one??
Perhaps try checking Mark's couch cushions for your money.
The acquisition was announced right after the company received millions upon sale of the SAAS business. They had the cash at that moment. The question was how Rory would squander it.
