00:06

You're listening to the Radcast, a top 25 worldwide business podcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford.

 

00:33

What's up guys, welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. It's Friday, October 20th, 2023, our weekly marketing and business news of the week and whatever other stories we'd like to tell. So we'd like to say we keep, if it's radical, we cover it. Or in the storm wants to get in on it. Chris's fantastical lab there in the vacay lounge.

 

01:00

What's up, Chris? Sometimes he has a few announcements of himself once in a while. I know he wanted to wreck our intro there. Started howling at the moon or at Linda. Not this time. Oh, Chris, how's the week? The week is good, man. The weather's beautiful. It's cooling down. Ugg boots are coming out. Beanies are coming on.

 

01:26

It's getting tested in Miami, bro. If it hits like 68, 69, like a low at night. Yeah, I was literally on my way to the pool yesterday, like bathing suit towel. And there's people in the elevator with like turtlenecks on. I'm like, all right. It's for the fashion. For the gram. Just do it for the gram. People want to be cozy. Exactly. Yeah. I hope everyone listening is doing fantastic wherever, whenever.

 

01:56

However you are, you never know where you might be listening. It could be three years into the future. You could be in 2027 right now listening to this episode. And we give you a shout out. Someone will be listening. That's the thing, this stuff will last forever, Chris. I thought about this yesterday. You're right, someone might be like, what was happening October 20th, 2023? Yes, maybe come back into the time capsule that is the Radcast.

 

02:25

We appreciate you for making us the number one marketing and business show on Apple. We continue to hold that spot. We've we're about 40 days in and we're not we're not looking back, Chris. No looking back. Never, ever. Keep climbing. If you're a first time listener, we appreciate you coming on. You're catching our weekly news edition. We have two episodes a week. We do a guest episode on Tuesdays and our weekly business and marketing news on Fridays.

 

02:53

Chris and I like to ham it up and have a good time while also trying to give you some insights that might not be as obvious as they might always seem. Try to bring it down to a practical level, some of the things that are happening in business and marketing. And we try to keep it in the business front. We know there's a lot of serious shit going on out there, but we're here to talk business and it starts with a smart play from M&M's, one of my favorite candies. They're partnering with GoPuff.

 

03:22

which made me stop for a second. GoPuff. I thought it was like a... You've never used GoPuff before? No. Is that different than VistaCard? Same concept, but I think it was, the basis was like first owners. That's where my head went. Like a munchies delivery service. GoPuff, GoMarch. But they're good. They're very good. So...

 

03:46

What's going to happen is, and this is brilliant, because this happens at the offers, someone eats all the candy before all the kids get me. And we run out as the Halloweeners, the trick or treaters come to the house. So now, Go Puff is partnering with M&M's, so they deliver same day Halloween candy so you don't run out. Smart. Makes sense. The- Good way to get their name out there for sure. Halloween is what, 10, 11 days away?

 

04:15

We're getting eerily close here. That's crazy. Nash, who's been a little under the weather, who's my youngest, he's seven and a half has been he's had his costume for about five days and he's worn it every day. He is officially a hot dog. What is that? He's a hot dog costume that makes it even better. He's like, just wrapped in the hot dog. He comes home from school. He puts on that fucking hot dog and he is running around the house.

 

04:45

And he's been sick the last couple of days. I've been home with him sick. And yesterday, he was starting to finally feel better. I knew he was feeling better when he put the hot dog costume on. And he came in. I'm cleaning up the kitchen. And there's a spill, Daddy, on aisle four. I got a hot dog. And he's laying on the floor. He's like, here, come clean me up. You're like, all right, you're ready to go back to school. Yeah.

 

05:13

I told him I was going to catch up with him if I mustered up enough energy. Ooh, got him. Dad jokes galore. The king. He relished the moment. Oh my God, it's too much. But it has been quite fun watching Nash run around in a hot dog costume. It puts a smile on your face. I don't care who you are, you can be the biggest grump in the world when you have seven year olds running around in a hot dog costume.

 

05:42

It's entertaining. So even if it's just 70 year old, it would still be probably entertaining. Yes. So Nash is geared up and ready. And if you're not, Hey, check out this partnership. So, you know that go puff can deliver M and M straight to your destination. So you don't leave those trick or treaters hanging out to dry. The, you don't want that. Yeah. I debated whether I was going to bring this up and I said, fucking, I'm going to bring it up.

 

06:10

And it's because Marin Morris has decided to leave country music. And I just said, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Supposedly, she disagrees with all the lyrics that are patriotic and a little too Americana for her. And so she's officially leaving country music. And that's what country music is, isn't it? What are we doing here? Just these people never cease to amaze me, dude.

 

06:40

Yeah. Get a grip. Like, but she's cancel all the other Jason Aldean's and all these people. It's like, we either have free speech. We can either see, they can use sing. If you know, we don't. If you don't like it, you can sing songs written by the state. Yeah. As happened in history approved songs. Yeah. Or here's a thought, go write some country music with different topics. Exactly. If that's how you feel. And she has, she's been poppy from the get go. And so.

 

07:09

It's fine. I get tired of her songs. They play them too much, but she's a talented artist. But I don't know why she's got to go make this profound thing that she's leaving country music. It's like, Oh God, holy shit. People. She's a legend in her own mind, obviously. Clearly some of these celebrities. I know if you're out there and you want to cry a little tear cause Mary Morris is leaving country music. We'll, we'll allow you to do that. So we just wanted to.

 

07:39

Bring you all the happening news. And I brought this up because I'm in a country state of mind, Chris. I at the house of blues this last weekend, seeing my boys, thousand horses and Warren's eaters really great show. I tell you what, this is a really interesting show. Number one, great artistry, thousand horses. If you had never seen them, you, if you played them, if country music at all, you, if you looked them up and played a couple of their hits, you that, okay, I've heard it on the radio.

 

08:06

Amazing artist, Michael Hobbies, a friend, he's been on the show and we got the VIP treatment. I'm not going to lie. We were like right there on the floor at a table getting served with like ropes around us, like with a security guard, the velvet ropes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Ropes and security, like keeping people away from us. I was like, I felt really important for a couple of hours for the first time ever. And that's the way to do it. And then we got backstage in the.

 

08:34

Blue Room or whatever the hell, Green Room, with Michael and the band after the show. Nicest guy on the face of the planet. He's a total rock star, by the way. Amazing showmanship. And then the band is so nice. They're from, go figure, they're from South Carolina. They're from Newberry Boys, Southern guys. Amazing show, and Warren Zeters was really good. But get this.

 

08:58

Girls were throwing bras on the stage at the end of his show. I felt like it was the weirdest. Like, I know he's a good looking guy, really good artists. And, but it was just a little unexpected. I, it was clearly part of the show because one of the band guys have a stick they're putting the bras on. So it's obviously a thing. This happens often. And that was like, I was not expecting it.

 

09:28

Rockstars do still exist. I know it was. He's got it going on. Anyway, really good show. House of blues is awesome in Myrtle beach. Not a lot I love about Myrtle beach, but the house of blues is still cool and a great place to see a show. So if you're, if you haven't go listen to both a thousand horses and more insiders.

 

09:46

You'll thank me that really good music and a thousand horses is more like Southern rock or just rock and roll. They're they're country, but they're just fucking amazing musicians. So shout out to them and fascinating at the concert. So it goes like your wife love it. Yeah, she was unexpected to look. He's a good looking guy. Like I was like, hey, I get it. But it just.

 

10:10

That's it. Exactly. You just looked over and Nicole was reaching under her shirt too, and just threw in a toss and you're like, what the hell? Honey, wait, you've got to see who's shirt on already. Nah. Oh, it was awesome. And he's cool. He's young and living his best life too. He's like 24, 25. And in other news, I thought this was good.

 

10:35

and we'll get back to our business market news. We've got to entertain a little bit. We're telling a little personal stories. Want you to know what it's all about. The TikTok, the TikTok is unveiling. I thought this was clever as hell. They're expanding the reach of their content outside of just the platform. So they've unveiled the out of phone ad solution for brands. So if you're familiar with, out of home is billboards.

 

11:03

and out of phone, which is super smart, playing off the words, because again, most, 80% of advertising now is on the phone. So basically what they've done is you still have all these digital billboards that are up and around and you can buy and get access to that at those ad platforms to do, to buy a digital ad out of home placement. And what Tik Tok's doing is they're extending their content so that, okay.

 

11:32

like some of either your existing content, if you're a brand or trending content that will then play in these digital placements. So leveraging that content that's already made a hit on the phone platform into maybe a digital video on a billboard or in a movie theater or these other placements where you have digital out of boards, out of home boards.

 

11:56

And so they're allowing brands to tie into that and sponsor that content. I think it's super smart because here's the thing. The content that is entertaining and the reason that people dig it on their phones. It will also resonate and grab attention elsewhere. If you're in a movie theater and you're catching one of those movie theater ads or a digital video that's playing at the gas station, you see those now.

 

12:26

That trending content is going to be just as interesting there on that screen as it is on your phone. It got attention for a reason. So to tie into that and to build ads around it is incredibly smart. And whoever came up without a phone, I'm sorry, I'm just an ad geek. I'm going to geek out. That was a great wordplay. Yeah. Yes. So TikTok expanding. And so I'll say this. TikTok's.

 

12:53

is really expand their ad platform. You can now buy search ads, essentially place ads. If I go on there and if you aren't paying attention, Google is certainly still the king, but between Instagram search and TikTok search, people look up shit there. They look up recipes, they look up product. How to do this, yeah. And so you can buy ads around that search, which shows intent.

 

13:22

The power of search ads has always been, it's someone raising their hand. I'm going, I am searching for this. That's why they're so expensive, the ads. And so you can buy it within the platform. And so if you aren't testing TikTok, if you're a brand, a company, whatever, now's the time to be doing it. They've got a lot of really great deals now too. They're cutting like, getting aggressive, getting people to buy two for one, spend a hundred dollars, get a hundred dollars, a lot of ad credits and things. So there you go.

 

13:52

We are not sponsored by TikTok, but I'm high on them right now with what they're doing from an ad platform standpoint, and out of phone is brilliant. Speaking of ad platforms, Netflix expands advertising opportunity and adds live sports sponsorships. Netflix introduces new advertising opportunities, including single title sponsorship, sponsorship of its live sports events in a binge ad format, a binge ad format.

 

14:21

Three words I enjoy. Aiming to reward viewers and enhance brand visibility.

 

14:28

So speaking of in a binge ad format, it searched brand spots amid viewers been watching sessions. So if you've been binge watching your favorite show, you're now gonna, and they know you're like, you're gonna watch all eight of those episodes, they're gonna throw an ad in between. So they're getting you one more. It's smart, man. Yes. We thought we'd escaped the ads with the streaming platforms. Yeah, exactly.

 

14:55

It's the same thing with and look, I have a t-shirt that says ad supported, so I'm, I can't hit the play. Don't let the player at the game. It's interesting because listening, I have a serious XM and forever that was the ad free pay to get radio and more and more there's ads on stuff. There's now talking heads. It's like. On some of my favorite like stations, it's like, this guy won't shut up. He talks for three minutes about something. And I'm like, I thought I'm paying for ad free or talk free.

 

15:25

Yeah. Yeah. Express VPN. Here's a 30 second thing on why you need it. Yes. Yeah. Like fast forward. At least you can fast forward. Most of them. Most of them. Maybe at least when you're doing the vacay and the call there elaborate, it's pretty quick. Exactly. It's quick and built it in. Like we build our reads into it. We don't just blast you with pre-recorded stuff.

 

15:54

Because let's be honest, if you're watching this, which you should be on either Instagram or YouTube or Facebook or one of the platforms, you got to come and see the vacay lounge that Chris is in, the chance that Storm might make it and drop in. And you got to see, compare Ryan's skin to episodes last year because how glowing it is now because of Caldera Labs. Let's be honest, Chris, the bags under these eyes a year ago.

 

16:23

We're a lot heavier than they are now because the icon. You know it. You can't get anywhere else except in a bottle. And you know what, Chris, I happen to have a bottle right here. It's called the good. Why this glow happens. It makes Ryan look good. This is not, this doesn't just happen. Like I wish it did.

 

16:51

Some of us just wake up naturally looking beautiful. And I have to use bottles of the best premium men's skincare line on the planet, which is Caldera Labs. And the only reason this beard is actually starting to look like a beard is because of the new beard serum. The beard. It's all the stuff, Chris, cause it's the best. I love it. Yes, calderalab.com, use rad Ryan. Get 20% off. Tell them I sent you.

 

17:21

And look, I only sponsor and talk about what works. I use this product for two months before I was willing to talk about it. I said, send me some stuff. I'm going to use it for two months. And if I like it, I'll talk about it. And you know what? I knew because Miss Alford suddenly couldn't resist this. Right after 10 years, she's baby. You look good. I'm like, hey, just a glow. Oh, yeah, boy. Yes.

 

17:51

So my secret weapon and your secret weapon needs to be caldera lab.com rad Ryan 20% off. It works. That's why I use it. And it's the bomb. Speaking of the bomb, Taylor Swift. Freaking Taylor Swift always she's she makes it always an appearance. So she's had her concerts playing in movie theaters, the arrows tour.

 

18:20

And there's four takeaways from variety. Makes a historic, it earned 95 to 97 million domestically and 130 million globally from the just to con the film series, selling records for a concert film and demonstrating that variable pricing can work for highly anticipated films, the films unconventional distribution and marketing along with a S S emphasis on creating a communal.

 

18:49

Theatrical experience show that innovation and movie distribution can be successful. However, replicating the success of such films may be challenging for artists and studios without Swift's star. Yeah, that one last disclaimer, unless you're Taylor Swift or one of three other icons on the planet that could pull this shit off. Dude, I.

 

19:13

invested in a movie. It premiered last Friday, Newport Beach Film Festival. Topper is the film. Nice. Yes, I do know that. How did it go? It was great. It went great. I would have loved to have seen it. I just thought it was under the weather, but ain't no way we're doing $95 million. And we've got, and we have some well-known Hollywood people in it, but the movie industry

 

19:42

To do what she did is damn near impossible at this point, I feel like. Yeah. Because you're going concert experiences, usually about the concert, being at the concert, the live aspect, the fans that are around you watching the concert at an end in a theater, it just feels like it's, I guess the music, you can't turn it up. That's one thing you are in a.

 

20:09

sound environment that they can blast that shit and make it feel ridiculous. So I guess I can understand that, but I never quite understood the the watching of a I guess if you can cough up those like 400 bucks a ticket, this is the next thing for only seventy five dollars. You know what a concert probably thirty million dollars. If there's just got to be a billionaire right, like she's got to be getting close.

 

20:38

The fact that you do 130 million off of a recording of the concert is what, do we even know what they did off the actual tour? It was hundreds of millions. Yeah. Hundreds of millions. And just like, well, fuck it. How's she not a billionaire? I'll just merge alone. Those Swifties buy everything. She should be, unless she's getting a bad deal. Yeah.

 

21:03

Which may maybe a scooter bronze to blame. She's not getting her take on that. He's still getting a percent of her merch forever. Lifetimes in blood. Oh, my God. Probably. Maybe. Who knows? But I don't know that it tells us much of anything, because I think the last point was the one don't get too excited about showing concerts. It's Taylor Swift and she's got more pull power than about any other star in the world right now.

 

21:31

Yeah, she can touch anything right now and it'll be probably be golden. Yeah. Travis Kelsey. Exactly. Oh, I could go somewhere there, but I'm going to leave it alone. Reality Defender has raised $15 million to detect text, video and image deepfakes.

 

21:57

It's a startup focused on detecting deep fakes and AI-generated content. It's raised $15 million in a Series A fund. The funds will be used to expand the company's team and enhance its AI content detection models. It aims to stay ahead of evolving deep fake methods and models, offering an API and a web app to analyze videos, audio, text, and images for signs of AI-driven alteration. It claims to achieve a high deep...

 

22:25

fake accuracy rate through an ensemble of detection models. That's some good writing there. Ensemble of detection models. The- There's a lot of nice copy in there. There's this good, give TechCrunch editor all the credit there, techcrunch.com brings us. This, it's always gonna be cops and robbers and the robbers stay ahead of the cops, or the good guys, bad guys. So you got defects and people trying to detect them.

 

22:53

So it's who stays ahead of who. Great idea, but I look at a company like this and I wonder how do you monetize outside of- Big, I think like a Microsoft, if they get it, if they become like the standard, some of the big companies that could really be- Like a built-in software that's attached to your browser. Yeah, attached to your internet.

 

23:19

Blur if it still existed, but a Chrome, Safari. I'll tell you, this is an altered image. Yes. So then anything that pops up on your screen, it's automatically detecting it. It says, but just know it's rated DF, deep fake. Like the Tom Hanks ad for what was it, the dental insurance company we talked about? Exactly.

 

23:47

Yes. You see now like on the social media where we all saw this during the pandemic, where it's like they're slapping the misinformation label on there, which I think, because even I'm noticing a lot more frequency of seeing deep fakes. And usually it's like a meme. It's funny stuff. It's not something serious. But I know there's people that are watching it that don't know it's a deep fake. If I send it to my dad, for example, right? Like everything they see on the internet is real. Like.

 

24:16

No, I know, man. No CGI, no filters. It's I'm on the opposite. I'm at the point where I might believe 50% of what I see now. Yeah. I'm, I'm cynical a little bit anyway. And now I'm like, I'm, I'm always wondering what the shtick is. Like what's there's something here. Yeah. Who's selling me what and why. Yeah. But it can be entertaining.

 

24:45

I wouldn't mind seeing, I don't know, Forrest Gump, I don't know, running in the Olympics or something. Oh, I've seen, there's definitely some really entertaining ones. And that's why I think it's going to continue just to blow up is there's so much comedy coming out of deep fakes. Yeah. I like watching Keanu Reeves seems to always be.

 

25:09

the punch boy for he's always gets used for something, robbing a store, doing something. And it's really not funny, but it's entertaining because I know it's fake and I don't hold that against him and judge him in any way. It's just some of the common players that always seem to rise up and get their personas taken as long as people know that shit's fake. But that's the scary thing. You don't know that people are gullible.

 

25:38

hitting the share button impulsively without. Oh, God, that's all Facebook is now. I love my family, but like I have these aunts that that I get on. I really avoid Facebook like the plague, to be honest with you. But I get on there for 30 seconds. My aunts have shared every conspiracy theory, every. And I'm like, oh, God. That I've got every family friend I ever grew up with. Someone's imitating.

 

26:05

creating a fake profile for them and then DMing me like for money. And it's like my dad's best friend that I like could text him and be like, Hey bro, like it, there's just, I don't know. Facebook to me has become a little bit, I don't know if trashy is the right word. It's, I don't know. Whatever filters through, hold on my, it's become too many to mass.

 

26:33

It's so- It's like Craigslist. Yes, and there's just so many people on it. Everybody's on it. And so it was almost better when the early to mid-adopters were on it because there was a level of, dare I say- Like when you needed a college email address to register at one point. That was a long time ago. But I'm just talking about there was a level of, I don't know,

 

27:03

Common sense, authenticity, that when you had the early to mid adopters and now that it's everybody, it's, it's, it was, they say, regressed to the mean. Yeah. That's something. Yeah. I don't have anything else to say. Yeah. It's like the yard sale. Yeah. Which I like having a good yard sale. It's just, don't come try to.

 

27:28

Knocked out my one dollar price to 50 cents. The dollar, damn it. No matter what I'm trying to do, they want half price on God. All right. It's two dollars. You can have it for a dollar. You mean, I'm going to double the price just for you, then cut it in half. Next, Elon Musk. This is like hitting all my feed stuff earlier. Is testing an annual fee for unverified accounts? Twitter, now known as X.

 

27:54

If you've been paying attention, I've been calling out how long we're going to say that is testing a subscription program called Not a Bot in New Zealand in the Philippines to be rolled out worldwide, requiring new users to pay a dollar annual fee for posting and interacting. However, the fee is waived if they subscribed to the three ninety nine per month premium service, affecting only new web accounts and not existing users.

 

28:21

This is kind of the equivalent of when you fill out a form, you have to do the little security things like draw a bus or something or pick out like the stuff that keeps spam from planning like getting into your mailbox because that's an extra step that a bot really can't take. And when you can enter the CAPTCHA, this is like the CAPTCHA for Twitter because if you have to pay a dollar, it's like an extra step. So you don't get these tons of fake accounts created, which is what happens every day.

 

28:52

So that's what he's trying to weed out. Yeah, it's true. It's about the money, but it's also about weeding out the bot, not a bot. And there is, I think a worthwhile venture in that regard, but you're green and it's a frigging dollar. I like how, yeah. And honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if somebody's bought farms, just paid a dollar. Probably. Yeah.

 

29:18

But I think it's the extra step, probably paying the dollar and tying it to a payment account and all that, which would probably cut down bots about 90%. I think that's what he's trying to do. I hope so. I hope so because it's troll city on Twitter. Yeah, man. It's almost, it's like the deep fake thing. Like you're creating influence out of nothing. Yeah. With an agenda. Yeah. And I'll get on Twitter.

 

29:45

a couple of times a week. It's not my biggest platform clearly, but I'll get on there for news or just to read through it. And I'm in there for 10 minutes and it's the same thing. I'll read a few of the comments or replies. I'm like, that just sounds like someone trolling or egging or they might be real. They're probably a bot. Yeah. No, I agree. I think it's, I like it less for people getting fake interaction more. I think there's people that maliciously use it to push

 

30:15

opinions politically, specifically that I think just like a troll, dude, there's just people out there that just want to create chaos. Yes. And I do think foreign countries probably definitely use it. Oh, a hundred percent. Like you did be fooled not to, to use it to influence people's opinions. We're in information war now.

 

30:41

That's right. Did you know tomorrow's reptile awareness day? I did not know that October 21st. I'll make sure to give an extra nod to all the little iguanas I see walking on the sidewalk down here. Is a snake a reptile? Yeah. Yes. Cameron's nodding saying that it is that I'm going to not celebrate this day.

 

31:09

Cause I'm not a big snake lover. No, I don't like it. I don't. Let's be honest. It's full blooded motherfuckers. Who wants a snake around or I don't know, green lizard. I feel the same way, dude. My friend, I had one friend that had snakes growing up and his snake's name was Dante. And I'm like, dude, you just open yourself up to bad shit, bro. Yeah. Get a fucking dog. That's going to wrap your things around you.

 

31:39

Squeezing death or something. No part of me is he had it. He had the tank next to his bed. And I'm like, dude, no part of me wants to sleep next to a five foot. Python. No, I don't get it. I'm I can get down with the fish tank relaxing, calming. Yeah. Those fish are not going to get out of there and eat you. They're not promise. No, but it's snake. I'm not a reptile lover. Yeah. So if you're reptile lover, God bless you.

 

32:07

but no thanks. And October 25th is Greasy Foods Day. So get out and eat some fries and some, I don't know, greasy bacon, greasy. Funnel Cakes. Yeah, go get an Arby's. Arby's, yeah, grease pile. You gotta go, they're here, they're called Clocks, like a good diner. You like diner food, like greasy food. So go celebrate on the 25th.

 

32:36

There's the social holidays. You can't miss the two reptile awareness day. I think I'd argue you can miss, but I'm telling you so that you maybe ignore or miss it on purpose, but greasy foods day, it should be like smack a snake day instead of reptile awareness day. Yeah. Go fucking do down here in the Everglades. It's like overrun by snakes. There's dudes getting paid all day just to go kill snakes. No.

 

33:05

I've been watching Fear Factor and the old episodes with Joe Rogan. No, thank you. Keep those snakes away. I know, dude. I, there's just something about them inside of me. That's no evil. Yes.

 

33:25
