Here is the link to KROQ's Podcast: kroqfs.com/kbpodcasts/KBpodcast_1808.mp3Copy of KROQ'S Webpage:  This is was straight up mockery. An outrage! I bet those geeks (and they have the audacity to call us that) feel really big and proud of them selves after this. Makes me glad I stopped listening to kroq 3 years ago. |

I really think this goes beyond pocking fun at us and crosses over into slander of LAJedi and the Saberwars fam as a whole.

I listened to the pod-cast and, your right they do make fun of the LAJEDI. But I don't think this is something to take to seriously. People and Shows make fun of things all the time. They just don't understand us completely. So we should show them how cool we really are. The LAJEDI rules!!, and I'm proud to be a member.
May the Force be with the LAJEDI.

Because this is a group of people who like lightsaber combat, people wil have the tendency to call you geeks or think it's a waste of time. The best idea is to ignore them, even if they're famous. But if they take things too far, then a thing called Mr. Lawsuit should be prepared. But just ignore them and all will be well.

Well after listening to this I am pissed off how dare they call me a Geek when I am obviously a SW Nerd!!! But I have to agree with most of you that I could care less what little goes on in the minds of Kevin and Bean who are those guys anyway?  ? If it was Howard I would be worried, yeah that is the pregnant dog that is the Media one day they love you the next your pulling a Dagger out of you Back!!!  |

I sent this email to the Kevin and Bean show the same morning it was on and before I talked to any of you guys about it:
I have been a loyal KROQ listener for about 10-15 years. I am not a “Roland.” I have friends. I have a good job. I have an apartment in a neighborhood where rents start at about $1000. I dress fashionably. And, I am also a member of L A Jedi.
These are really nice people, almost all gainfully employed (a few are college students), are in solid relationships or date often. Most of them pretty “cool” and a lot less dorky than some moron who goes to football games shirtless with his body painted in the colors of his favorite team.
I’m a little pissed off at you guys for this.

I recieved a phone call from Alex, the assistant producer for the Kevin and Bean show. They wanted to speak to someone ever since they hear about us. This can go really good, or they can just poke fun. I won't be donig thatinterview. That's up to Joe or Jennifer. I'm still a new member and have a lot to learn. If things go well, we could get t.v. time on Jimmy KImmel Live.

The initial piece where they ripped us to shreds did not bother me in the slightest.
Who cares what morning DJ's think?
They are, and appeal to, the lowest common denominator!
But I think it would be a huge mistake to respond.
We could become their punching bag.
We should just be happy they gave us that little bit of free publicity and they put a link to our KCAL9 news piece on KROQ's website.
Cool! Thanks!
True, bad publicity is good publicity.
And again, the initial piece did not bother me.
But it upset some of you, so just think what they could do or say if we invite them into our world? And how upset you could potentially be then?
Do you honestly think that if we only just talk to them in an interview they will change their minds, taking back all those ridiculous blanket statements they made about a group they know nothing about?
Kevin and Bean have always been negative and mean spirited, which is exactly what LA Jedi isn't.
Right?
Isn't that why we love this group?
We are not going to change anyone's mind, and if we chased/responded to everyone who called us a nerd or a dork, we would be REAL BUSY!!!!
LA Jedi's official position is to NEVER RESPOND TO HATERS!!!

So here are the facts
Radio time to advert your site or organization ranges from $2000 to $3000 for every 30 seconds on a station as big As KROQ and at such a prime time.
I talked to the program director today and told her I did not want to do the interview.
But when she broke it down for like like that I kind of seen the light.
So as it stands I will go on Tuesday morning at about 7:45 and take a verbal ass whooping for LAJedi.
It`s not something I want to do,but I own you all,the members of Lajedi to do so.
In hopes of attracting new members,and to let them know what we are really about..

This morning? Wouldn't you know it, I was listening to another station. I wish we had more notice, I would have made a point of listening.
But, I'll try to make sure I catch the podcast.

OK it all depends on how we respond to them. if were uptight about it and get offended we'll look like the Scientology's. all they need is to come down and hang out with us for a little while and they'll see were not that bad. all the info they have received is third hand info from a guy who interviewed us.
were going to take heat no matter who we talk to, but if kit doesn't want to talk to them then IM willing to. this will give us a chance to reach out to all the other star wars fans listening in, who didn't know we even existed.
if they could be dissuaded by what Kevin and Bean say then they aren't going to be very good members.

Why don't we close the book on this one for now? There's an awful lot we could say to them in a very calm way that would make their insults sound kind of stupid.
But, for now, it seems some of us really, really want to let it drop, so I say we respect their wishes.

Lightning from KROQ took it upon himself to come to out class today.
We where pissed,and at first declined the interview.
But in the end I decided to just give them a short interview.
So if KROQ makes me look like a ass,better then all of LAJedi looking like a ass.
All in all I think it went ok,I got to say much of want I wanted to say,including many LAJedi.com plugs and a small plug for ultrasabers.
Lightning actually impressed me by knowing about Luxeon sabers.
lets keep out fingers crosses on Tuesday next week when that air it its a good interview.
