Jon Olson is Gonna Pay!

by Tim on July 18, 2010

I recently purchased a blender, and started blending every day. While I was in Traffic Exchange Live talking to Jon Olson (and of course all you regulars) he told me he didn't think I'd do it every day. He even went as far as to say that if I posted every day for 30 days that he'd give me $1000.

Well if you are interested in seeing if I meet that goal or not, please subscribe here. I don't want to flood you guys with blender recipe's if you aren't into them, so of course it's a totally separate site and list.

I'm hoping to learn a few things in this endeavor from a marketing side. And of course I'll report back to you guys with any successes or failures. But one thing is for sure, I've never been so motivated to post every day for 30 days before!

As I’ve said, he should have bet you 2 months or even 3 months. He might as well have gone ahead and written you the check that day, LOL…

NEVER a dull moment, Tim!
I’ll be keeping track… lol

Ha ha ha ha

We’ll see….

Let’s see how you do.

I have faith in your ability to prove me wrong….LOL

This appears very interesting. I think that I’ll subscribe, just to see the outcome. You can be sure that as I don’t own a blender, I won’t be too interested in the recipes!

Just my thoughts,

Regards,
Jeff.

You might be inspired to get one and started blending after watching a few, Jeff! :D

I have faith in you, Tim!! And you never know, you might have some really good recipes. So I signed up out of curiosity! lol

Go get’em, big guy!

I think I need Jon in my circle of prop-betting friends… Sounds like some easy money… But, I do use my blender quite often for drinks and such.
My friends and I have made some pretty outrageous prop bets over the years, but never one as easy as this one seems to be… 30 days? We’ve done things like lime tossing from our Coronas for $20 per round (and the more Coronas you consume the smaller and farther away that cup you’re aiming for seems to get). Never anything that lasted for 30 days… How is he going to verify? I guess you could make a time-stamped video of you using it every day… LOL
Good luck.

Jon! Seriously, why would you just throw away $1000.00 bucks like that…LOL. We all know if Tim sets his sites on something HE WILL DO IT! LOL.

Heck if you giving bets..bet me the same thing that I can get up before 9am my time every day for 30 days. Now everyone knows I am not a morning person, so you would at least have a prayer of winning that bet..LOL

Good Luck Tim! Don’t Break the Blender..LOL

I signed up just to see what happens.

I still say it’s better to blend Manly Mojitos…lol

1 shot Meyers Dark Rum
1 shot Lebon Cachaca
2 mint sprigs
1 lime
1 teaspoon of sugar

Jon Olson July 19, 2010 at 5:11 pm

I know, I know…He’s being sneaky though. He isn’t doing a new video every day, so far he has made a bunch at once and scheduled them to be posted every day…

I dunno…Seems fishy LOL

Great job, Tim. I’ve been thinking about doing something similar with a weight loss challenge. 30 days as well, ..thought I’d video each day about my progress. still have not found the gumption to try it.

You’ve just inspired me! Good luck

I’ll blog for you for 30 days if you’ll give me half that.:-)

We don’t have to let Jon know.

Lisa Simonetta July 19, 2010 at 7:19 pm

I think the site is great Tim. I even sent the link to my Daughter, I think she will like it too. She might even send you some recipes.
But you know Tim, Jon did say 1 video everyday. If you are making them ahead I don’t think that counts, that’s bordering on cheating. Shame, Shame.

Jay Latour July 19, 2010 at 7:44 pm

I have been blending almost everyday for the last three months. Just for breakfast. Frozen fruit, fish oil, flax seed, chia seeds, wheat germ etc. :)

I think this bet should include some nice big blended up steak. None of this fruity good tasting stuff. lol

Rob P. Cruisin July 20, 2010 at 12:49 am

A $1,000 for making smoothies for a month where do I apply.

Nancy Radlinger July 20, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Ohhhhhhhh this is funny and quite the motivator to post daily but how come you just can’t post 30 at once and then schedule them to come out daily?????? Did you have any other rules on this one – otherwise it’s a for sure win Tim – WTG

Jon Olson July 20, 2010 at 4:34 pm

LOL Yeah exactly. That’s what I’m sure he’s planning on doing. Sneaky guy this Tim Linden is LOL

I love when I see these friendly bets between owners. It’s both fun and productive. Also what better motivation can you get? Good luck!
