A day with the Shrink

[CharlieMaxwell]

After a brief delay, I land at the Norfolk, Virginia airport. There is a man waiting for me. He is fitter than what one would expect from a person who spends up to 12 hours in front of a computer screen. He is younger than the sound of his voice leads you to believe. He is more charming and likable than one might expect.

This was my experience also. Robertos on the money, nice job.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> On the short 20-minute ride from the airport to his office, Shrink will smoke two more cigarettes, answer seven phone calls and will begin explaining who he really is. He does all of this while driving at very high speeds.

Roberto, its lucky you are still ALIVE after that

HOLY MOLY!

what the story failed to mention was that airport is in shrink's backyard and because his place is so big - he doesn't hear the planes land.

it also failed to mention the following:

shrink's chauferred limo drove the 2 of them back to shrink's place.

the 5 armed security guards had to put roberto thru the metal detector before he could enter shrink's mansion.

downstairs at shrink's place there is a "gentleman's" club bigger than "Scores" (howard stern's fave spot).

one of thsoe who DOES have shrink's cell phone is john mccain who frequently calls shrink asking for handicapping advice on the big game that day.

shrink's pool boy "bruce" often walks thru the place w/o any clothes on - not so much for mrs. shrink's pleasure - but for shrink's.

shrink has the same doctors that san blast dick clark every day helping him stay so young looking also work on him - but as we all know - doctors can only do so much and they aren't miracle workers.

not sure on the other parts of Winky dinky's post but this I have heard also...so I have to believe its 100% true

WINKY--Lmfao!

Roberto-
A very nice write-up!!

Thanks for sharing.

I later meet Mrs. Weitzner, who is the living confirmation that there must be a strong woman behind every great man. Charming, talented and motivated, she doesn't hide the fact she has a lot of influence on her husband. And Shrink doesn't hide the love and respect he has for her as his wife, companion, and advisor.

GET ME A KLEENEX SOMEBODY

Jealousy is a terrible thing!!

 

[RobFunk]

cool article, great read. I'm sure that might satisfy some curiousitys people have, as it did mine.

to be honest, I think all the RX writers have been doing a bang up job lately. I can't remember the last time every single article was this good. they're on a tear.

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

I know. Good reads lately. Did everyone go to back to writers school or something?

 

[RobFunk]

anything is better than that one about moneylines

 

[TheGeneral+]

Thanks Charlie.

Good read Roberto.

SHRINK is a good man. NO one can make me believe otherwise.

 

[Kiss1]

Do you think Roberto would have had a cover article if he said ...

The Shrink was a fat, smelly obnoxious bastard with horrible breath and his wife was offering me head for another hit on a crack pipe ?

J/K

 

[sickgambler]

OR MAYBE SHRINK BRIBED ROBBY BOY TO SAY THIS, OR OFFERED HIM A LITTLE BONUS ON THE SIDE TO SAY THIS, OR MAYBE SHRINK GOT TO PROOF READ WHAT ROBBY BOY SAID BEFORE HE POSTED IT, OR EVEN BETTER, MAYBE SHRINKY WROTE THIS WHOLE ARTICLE HIMSELF.. YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT ONE?

ANYHOW, I DON'T THINK SO, REASON WHY IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE WE WILL NEVER SEE HIM FOR OURSELVES. IF ALL THAT WERE NOT TRUE ABOUT HIM, WE'D ALL EVENTUALLY FIND OUT IN AUG AT THE BASH AND THEN ROBERTO WILL NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ANYMORE..I DOUBT BOBBY BOY WOULD MAKE IT UP..

Was not sure if someone had accidentally dropped a handful of sugar in my coffee while I reading Roberto's flattering story. I will voluntarily place myself on the no need to know list. I do not require backgrounds on business people I deal with. I want the story written by Mike or Dalton, describing how they went from late paying and living beyond their means to good guy endorsed advertiser, all within 2 days. I think their interaction with SHRINK and what transpired after that interaction would make a much more interesting story to me. If you want to do one of those first hand meeting kind of articles. Hope I am not being to blunt here. Best wishes...OF

Ken does not need any character build up in my eyes. His success in this arena speaks for itself. If his son had proposed to marry my daughter that would be a different story. But my relationship in offshore matters is strictly business. Bottom line is, this is a dog eat dog business. Cold and heartless. Most businesses are. If I want SHRINK to represent my interests, do I want the warm and fuzzy family guy Roberto described, or a businessman with no reservations about going for the throat?
