00:00
They're just going straight meta. Yeah.

00:02
which is both maybe the smartest and stupidest thing I've ever heard of. If this ends up being as big as they think it will be, you might as well be the, I don't know, the band aid of the metaverse. The meta of the metaverse. Kleenex, Xerox, right? The AR stuff and the gaming and stuff, it's coming along. But the promise of all this stuff seemed like it was a lot greater than what's become reality, of a augmented reality.

00:32
like a surgery on the battlefield or something.

00:44
It's part of ending, it's starting again

00:50
You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to another edition of the Radcast. Joined by Joe Hamric. What's up brother? Hey Ryan. Good to have you. Man, it's good to be here. How are you today? I'm ready for our weekly advertising, marketing, pop culture.

01:16
Fans of the week. I wasn't that excited, but now that you did that, I'm pretty excited. Yeah. I'm also excited because, uh, you know, certain team won the other night. Well, who was that Ryan?

01:32
Let it play. Let it play. Let it sink in. The Atlanta Braves are your 2021 World Series Champions. World Series Champions. Yes. Had to get the chop in. Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's a great series for the Braves. Yeah. I'm not going to let culture cancel it. You know? Don't do it. You know? You're saluting the Braves and the culture. The history of the Braves. It's not hate, people. It's love. It's about love.

02:00
You know, and I love the Braves. Coming from a good place. It is coming from a good place. Right there. So I feel good about the Braves winning the world series. We talked about this little anticlimactic ass kicking. Yeah. Not a great, not a great game six for the Astros. It wasn't great. It was great for the Braves. It was just like, I felt like the heart of the city fell to the floor. When Soler hit that a home run that's still in the air. Yeah. I think it's still flying. I think I saw it go by the window there. Rolled into our place and then it went back in the.

02:30
it was hit so hard. It regenerated the flight. I've never hit someone, seen anyone hit the ball so hard. That was great. Like we said earlier, like the moment he hit it. Yeah, he said he didn't look at the ball. He's just like, yep, that's gone.

02:45
They showed the picture in his face of just disappointment. Like he knew, it's over. I think the heart of the city fell. I think the heart of the team was gone. Oh yeah. It was like, okay, I think that might be it. Yeah. That was, that was a momentum, uh, switch at the very least. It was. So, uh, congrats to the Atlanta Braves. You're 2021 World Series champions. Uh, had a good, good week here at the agency. We had a, uh,

03:12
podcast on Tuesday with the CMO of WebEx by Cisco. Really? Pretty big deal. I use that. Yeah, Aruna Rivasanjan. That's the fastest I've said her name. Okay. Aruna Rivasanjan. That's a very cool name. It is a cool name and she's a cool lady. She was an engineer and then went into marketing and now she's the freaking CMO of one of the largest companies in the US. She must be pretty good. Yeah.

03:38
Super smart. Yeah. Perhaps the smartest guess we've ever had and made me feel a little dumb. Spencer, Spencer, smarter than smarter than Spencer. I don't know. Come on. Spencer is pretty smart. Come on. I'll show them you said that. But Ryan, we'll talk about it later. Yeah, we'll talk about it. And then next week, the second smartest guy I know, who's actually a client. So you can call me self-serving, but he's actually incredibly intelligent. We had a really interesting discussion.

04:07
about companies and his name is Barry Silverman. He's the president vice vice president of marketing and branding at Ultra Fabrics. And we talked about, you know, how you've been seeing the values of the company and kind of the company's purpose become more into the marketing realm and how the impact that's having on employees. Good, bad and how in the future companies are going to have to do more of that because consumers aren't going to let

04:36
brands kind of stay in the messy middle without kind of taking a stand on certain principles. And he talked about the realities of that, the challenges of that, and just a really smart discussion about how companies just aren't gonna be able to hide from it.

04:56
Like social issues is what we're talking about. Yeah. Social issues, politics. I can't think of one social issue right now that people are are mad about. Can you? Everything's everybody's on the same page, it seems like to me.

05:07
Yes. Or not. Not at all. Nothing. Literally. There's no divide at all. Yeah. No, no split down the middle vaccine. Let's talk any number of things. Yes. In fact, let's not do that. Let's not. And we're going to, we've a promise to not talk about that on the podcast. Do we? We just did. Just now, just now. I think that's a great idea. We're going to do this with the vaccine. We're going to let that play out.

05:36
That's how far it's going down. And yes, it's important, but you know what? So are a lot of other things. Yeah. And we're going to talk about those. That's, that's dominating every news cycle, everything. Right. I mean, yeah, yeah, entirely. I'm tired of it. It's tired of it. Yeah. Kind of why I stopped watching the news. Yeah. You know, other than researching these, these episodes, right. It's marketing news instead of bad news, bad news bears. Yep.

06:05
But in, in some more important news, we have some social holidays. Okay. Those are always very important. They're very important. There's a special one that's super important coming up. And the first one, which is Saturday, which is kind of not so much a social holiday, but daylight savings ends. So if you're hearing this and it's not

06:26
you know, April of twenty twenty four, right, which is very possible because these episodes live on in perpetuity. Right. But timeless. They are timeless. Yeah. But Saturday is fall back. Fall back. You gain an hour of sleep. She gained an hour sleep or you just stay up an hour later. So how you want to look at it? Let me because I get confused about this. Number one, that is my wife's birthday. Saturday. Oh, happy birthday, Carrie. November 7th, November 7th. It's a great day for her.

06:55
Yeah, so no one else. No, my kids probably have. They probably they probably are glad that they have. Happy birthday, Carrie. I don't want her to hear that. Oh, sorry. Yeah. It's like you're her Marilyn Monroe. I mean, my singing is pretty good. It is. Well, pretty good. Understatement of the year. It's kind of like a voice of an angel. Yeah. A big did you see a unicorn? A unicorn and stepbrothers. I think I was a unicorn.

07:25
Oh my God. So real quick, my question. Yes. Does that mean it's lighter in the, it's dark when you get up, but it's lighter during the day? Like it's lighter later? No, it gets dark at like five o'clock. It's the opposite. The opposite, daylight savings. And I have no idea the rationale for the terminology, but we're gonna have a lot less light at night and.

07:51
More in the morning though. So 6.30 a.m. it'll be nice and sunny. Just like you want it. Yeah. While you hit this, when you hit the snooze button for the fourth time. But unnecessary. The sun's beaming through. Beaming through. Yeah, but you do wear that sleep mask.

08:07
I wear several. Yeah. You know, I actually wear a hood of latex hood with a zipper on the mouth. Plastic crap. Yeah. I was like, that could be dangerous. I tie a plastic bag around my. It hasn't nothing bad's happened yet. Yeah. Yeah. P.S. Disclaimer, don't do that. No, no. Please don't do that. Don't. All right. I'm looking forward to it being dark at 445. But you know what? You get to celebrate the next day with that extra sours hour of sleep. What's that? National Cappuccino Day. No shit. On Sunday.

08:38
You can have an extra glass. So you get extra sleep and two glasses of cappuccino and you're good. Are you a cappuccino guy? Absolutely not. Perfect. Me neither. I don't. I have my my cappuccino is known as Red Bull. Red Bull. Sure. I don't know. I don't drink coffee, really. No, I don't either. I like it, but I prefer an energy drink. It's just quicker to the point. Like, it's the same thing. You know, it's caffeine. What about five hour energy? Nah, it's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah, I can get I can get messy. Yeah.

09:08
I like to at least balance it out over 12 ounces or 16 ounces or whatever it is. I've had five today. That's why I'm shaking. You are very jittery. I drank a bunch of chamomile tea, so I'm the opposite. I'm just like really laid back, bro. Just laid back. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't drink tea. No, you didn't. And Monday is STEM Day. You know what STEM Day is? It's science, technology and

09:35
engineering math or something? Yes. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Did I get it for real? Yeah.

09:41
Good job. Nice work. Nice work. Stem day is my wife's assistant principal at a middle school. So sure, I should know a lot about STEM. I bet you don't. I don't. Perfect. Unless the M is marketing and it's not. It's not. It should be. Yeah, it's social technology, social media, technology, energy and marketing, energy and marketing. STEM, STEM. Copyright that real quick. I just did. Can you copyright that immediately? Send it in the patent. Call the patent office, please. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you so much.

10:11
So there's your social holidays this week. Moving on to our key news topics. Number one. So important. These are important. Number one, we're getting meta, folks. We talked about it a couple weeks ago, the potential name changes for Facebook. It didn't come true. We liked Faceplant. They didn't go for it. We sent that in. It's a shame. Zuckerberg didn't like it, signed it off, but they're just going straight meta. Yeah.

10:41
which is both maybe the smartest and stupidest thing I've ever heard of. If this ends up being as big as they think it will be, you might as well be the, I don't know, the band aid of the metaverse. The meta of the metaverse. Kleenex, Xerox, right? Yeah, but I don't know. There's a lot of stuff out there, talk that it's all a cover up to try to distract.

11:05
from the bigger issues Facebook's been having. Yeah, I could see, Zuckerberg's not a suckerberg. Hey, I like that, very good. But yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I could see it. The, just, we've talked about this a lot. I just, and our kids are into it. I see there's value being put into it, but it's like.

11:28
Can we figure out the real world before we figure out the metaverse? Yeah. You know, like, I don't know. Facebook's like, we're just going to fuck up the real world as much as possible. Now we're just going to create the meta world. Yeah. Like maybe we start fresh in the metaverse where, uh, we won't fuck everything else up. And the fact that it's called meta is in itself meta, right?

11:55
So I just figured that out. Probably nobody else knew that. It's okay. If it took everyone else that long, they really, you know, wasted some money. Somebody from Facebook's listen. This is like, Oh shit. He's right. Look at that. Yes. So I don't know. We'll see how it happens, but I do think it's a good time to refrain and think about, you know, one of our good friends. And now it's time for the red.

12:24
with Ryan Alport. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you. Thank you. I mean that's getting you're getting mileage out of that. I would too. You know Bruce Buffer does it.

12:38
Your intro. I would be hard pressed not to, like you said, play it every time I walked into my house. I know it's, I think we're like a six. He had, we haven't even released his episode yet. And I played that in every episode since he recorded it for us. Sure. Why not? So I can't wait. It's we were about two weeks away from his episode. And really? Yeah. So Bruce buffer, I look forward to that one. I know. Yeah. That's a good one. It was good. And it's coming out soon. Folks keep.

13:02
your eye on the dial and hey, do this, set up a Google alert for the rad cast and you'll get alerted by Google with an email when it comes out and all our episodes for that matter. I think that's probably everyone should do that. It not just this listening, but pass it on. Yes. Share it with people. Share it. Sharing is caring. You always say that. It is. You always say that. I do. It is. But you're right. Teamwork makes the dream work. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

13:31
So Walmart is going to be using AR and shoppable content to connect brands with consumers. Okay, so they're, you know, Facebook, you know, has like filters that are like AR, you can put like on your pictures and stuff. Yeah. So you're going to be able to use like, they're going to use like the AR filter from Facebook to see your expression on certain products.

13:56
to see how excited you are about them. The fuck are you talking about? Are you serious? Yeah. Hey, the future is now better. So like while you're in the store? No, through Facebook app. OK, I was going to say like they're like you're looking at something in the store and like, oh, and they're like capturing you real time. No, it's that's almost as bad, though. It is as bad. Yeah. I you know, the AR stuff and the gaming stuff, it's coming along.

14:26
But the promise of all this stuff seemed like it was a lot greater than what's become reality, of a augmented reality. You know, I mean, it's like... Right. We used for something, like doing like a surgery on the battlefield or something, right? Or something like that. And here we have fucking Walmart. Yeah, dude. Facebook filters. You're buying Scott paper towels. I'm like, oh. I'm so excited. Hey. Oh, look how Ryan looked at those Cheez-Its. He really loves Cheez-Its. Yes. He looked at those spicy Doritos and he was drooling.

14:56
Which actually, that's true. I would be. Yes. I'd be saying that and thinking that. Yeah. Hallelujah. Like, he's really triggered by the spicy Doritos. It's a little weird. He's got a tear in his eye. Weeping, weeping. He's openly weeping. I don't understand what's happening. I don't know why he likes it so much. But I do. Yeah. So.

15:21
in the world of live streaming, it's becoming huge. And Pinterest is debuting live stream shopping through what's aptly named Pinterest TV. Oh, okay, wow. They can remember that one. Creative name. They really thought long and hard at that. Pinterest TV. Pinterest TV. Isn't it funny that we have social media and social media wants to classify TV as dead, because saying that, you know.

15:48
that is a medium is dying, but yet we're gonna call our live streaming Pinterest TV. Apple TV, right? And what's funny now is most TV is place shifted anyway, which means like you don't watch it live. Yeah, you. It's time shifted, place shifted, and you watch it on your time.

16:12
Right. So it's not necessarily live anyway. Listen, I watch TV on my time. My time. Not your time. That's funny. I didn't know that term, though. That's I'm going to use that. I'm going to sound really smart later. Yeah. Play Shifting. I'm going to say that to my. Hey, we recorded that game. We could watch. We could play shift it. Yeah. Play shift it and time shift it. She's going to be like, shut up. The notion that, you know, the consumer is kind of like the reason podcasts are popular is because they don't. They don't.

16:42
You don't you can consume them when you want to. Right. On demand. On demand is exactly what it is. I don't know that they would call it Pinterest on demand. You know, but I guess they think live is associated with TV still. So what or just Pinterest live pictures live would be fine. So you call Joe Hamrick if you'd like a better naming commission. Yeah, just a name for your I'll put my number up. Don't put my number up, Nick.

17:08
Yeah, yeah, just throw it up. It's just went up. Oh, OK. Well. Oh, that was your social security number. Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, I got to go. Whoops. I got to go close to the accounts. Get a credit profile check. You do have credit alerts, right? Sure, sure, sure. I do now. In fact, I just got one. Yes. Oh, boy. Oh, yes. And other dues.

17:35
In the news of the no shit world, the reliability and quality of news content plays a significant role in achieving brand safety. A new study finds file that under it, but under in for no shit. Right. In this, uh, you think? Yeah. But, but here's what I want to know. Who is judging the reliability and the quality of the news content. It's as long as it's on Fox news. It's all true. Right.

18:04
I think so. I think if it's on CNN, it's false or vice versa. Right. This is not a political statement. I'm just using this as like the judgment call. You know, right. It's tough. Tucker Carlson said it. It must be true. Oh, if Don Lemon said it, it must not be right. I mean, it's like that's what it comes down to. Right. What sources do you believe? Yeah. Remember, you used to be able to read like the newspaper or watch the news and just and honestly just be like, that's impartial reporting. I believe that because it's what happened.

18:33
And it's hard to do now. It's hard to watch anything without like a little bit of a hmm. It's a podcast and I'm doing like a, you know, a weird look which is not gonna translate. It's not gonna translate to the audio part. But that's like a more of a hmm. Right. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, was that good? What the wall? Like. Huh? You said what?

18:58
Farley We secretly replaced you son of a bitch you You did yeah That's what the best ever it is Wish he was still around. Yeah, that'd be good. You could have them on the right cast. Oh, yes, we could So, uh, okay, we're scrolling on now The other Facebook news they're gonna

19:25
They're going to delete facial recognition data on more than a billion users. Okay. How are they choosing that? I don't know. How many, how many have all 300 billion, like 30 billion or something like that. Not even a real number. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah. Okay. Uh, and what's scarier is it's the fact that they had it.

19:50
Right? Right. To eliminate you have to have it first. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's like everybody using, you know, open your phone with your face. I got all that data and they've been keeping it, but they're going to delete it for us. I think they're going to be nice. Thanks, Facebook. Yeah. I trust them now. Appreciate you. I trust them now. Yeah. Oh, good.

20:10
They're worthy of my trust. Yeah, I'm not screaming on that. Ah! There we go. I'm not sure. Yeah. So, we're just going to chalk that one up and let you think about that for a moment. The fact that they've been holding on to it and they're telling you they're going to delete it. And if you believe that, I've got some ice in Iceland. Yeah.

20:29
You do. It's good ice too, people. It is. Colin, put the number up, Nick, for the ice hotline. Yeah, I've also got some life water I'm going to sell you. Am I going to call it death water, which seems to be really popular now? In the can. Yeah, you see the can, right? Death water or whatever. It seems like it wouldn't taste good out of the can. Yeah, I mean, death usually doesn't. Ding. Yeah, not even pressing the button. I'm just going to verbalize it now. That's fine.

20:54
So, uh, the match group who owns Tinder and match and all the, uh, dating profiles as two married men, we would know very little about this. Missed out on it. Missed out. Well, I actually married my second wife with through match. Did you? Yes. Nicole and I met on match and it turned out to be better than the first. So maybe it does work. It must at least work a little bit. So I, so I missed out on that whole, that whole thing.

21:20
You didn't miss much. No. I mean, like it was convenient. Sure. You know, so I have to go to a bar or get introduced to somebody or whatever. The most convenient wife I've ever had. It's just so convenient. I got to shop online. It was like shopping. It was, it was like e-commerce before e-commerce. This is in 2012. And that's an e-commerce before 12, 12 obviously, but it was definitely shopping. That's hilarious. Uh, shopping online, shopping for a wide mail order, mail order.

21:50
bride that actually lives local. Local. Yeah. You didn't have to go to Russia. Yeah. It's fantastic. No, I was going to. I had to. Yeah. You got to do what you got to do. Yeah. They don't talk back as much over there. Really? I heard of the opposite. I don't know. But it is funny, like we were in high school, obviously college at the same time. None of that existed. And you had to go to a bar or a party or run into somebody on this or whatever. Yeah. Right. Work at the same place is a good one now.

22:20
But now it's like 80% of how people meet. Like, totally. If you gave me a phone and said, set up a Tinder profile and then we'll do whatever, match with someone I guess, I'd be like, I don't know how to do that. Yeah, I wouldn't have to do Tinder, but match, yes. Sure, it's different though, right? Yeah, match is like.

22:39
Kind of like a social profile, but for dating tenders is like swiping. Like, do you think hot or not? Kind of it's who you want to bang essentially. Yeah. Bang or slang. I don't know. Whatever the teens are saying right now. Yeah. Whatever it is. But, uh, anyway, so they're, uh, we didn't even get to what the news article. I think that was even more interesting than maybe the article. They're doing a dating metaverse.

23:05
course they are. If you hate dating in the real world, what do you try the meta? Are you serious? Oh my God. So it's like avatars, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So it's fake dating and in a fake world, you don't even really see what someone looks like either. Right. You know, I can make myself like a little beefier, a little hotter. You don't need to get any beefier. Hey, your beef cake right now. I like it. This is taking a turn.

23:33
But, uh, yeah, turn for the better. But yeah, you make your avatar. You think you wanted to be have a bunch of hot people in the metaverse. Are they calling it catfish? Yeah. Is that what they're calling it? Yeah. I got catfished in the metaverse. Yeah. I knew she was going to be as high as she was. Her avatar was just a mask. That's hilarious. That's the most hilarious. She really lives in the ghetto in the metaverse. I got catfished in the metaverse.

24:02
Because is there gonna be a hierarchy in the metaverse? You're gonna have rich people in the billionaire metaverse and you're gonna have people like where I live, the not.

24:12
In the Mettaverse, in the billionaire house. Across the Metta train tracks on the on the wrong side. Yeah, yeah. I hope so. And that's how they got. She said she was on this side of the tracks. Yeah, she really lived over there. I got catfish, catfish to the Mettaverse. That's the saddest thing ever, maybe. That would be awesome. That would be. Yeah, I almost want to get catfish. I want to do some prank calling in the Mettaverse. Is it? Can you? I don't know. I want to. We used to do a bit of that. Oh, yes, we did. Oh, yeah.

24:41
Okay. All right. We're jerky boys before they were jerky boys. Yeah. We were the herky jerky boys. That was a metaverse. Yeah. Calling summer Malden's mom. Oh, I remember calling a bunch of people and I remember

24:59
saying a lot of things today would be. You can't say of today. Can't say those things. Oh, we did a lot of things. Recorded it to record. Those tapes are out there somewhere. Oh, boy. That's scary. That is a little scary. I'm just glad there was smartphones. Think about that. That's what I'm scared of. I was like my kids grow up with smartphones. Like if we'd had them, probably wouldn't have jobs right now. Maybe. No, probably not. I mean, not because we did anything like. I don't know.

25:29
Ill, I don't think it's illegal. It's, well, maybe. At times, partially, but it's a gray area. Here's a good example. There's no, there's nothing on the internet that I know of, of me coming out of a bar and falling on my face. Yeah, yeah. Has that happened?

25:46
Maybe you'll never know you'll never know right yeah, and I want to enjoy it die bulge it sure you would never tell I mean it no fewer than twice. I mean right yeah sure theoretically theoretically theoretically in the metaverse I got drunk and fell over Carjacked I got you can get all that stuff in the metaverse. I think so you know in a pleasant I got cirrhosis of the liver in the metaverse. This is shame Your avatar did make it very I would did not know I was drinking too much meta

26:16
We should start patenting like terminology in the metaverse. That might be a good thing. Yeah. Can we do that? I think so. I think we just did. Nick, get the patent office back on the phone. Okay. Thank you very much. Patent clerk slash producer. Extraordinaire. And finally, in very important news, Jay Z is finally on Instagram. Thank God. I just, you know.

26:44
I mean, how long have we been waiting? I'm gonna give him like a double. Yeah. I've been waiting for that, you know? You and I have been talking about it for what? 20 years, probably. Yeah, or 20 minutes at least. Yeah, 20 seconds. Yeah, this was a hypebeast article. Give hypebeasts some credit. I do like hypebeasts. Do you go to hypebeasts? A little bit. For the shoe rankings and stuff like that? Yeah, you know, I like that. I know you're a shoe whore. Shoe whore. You never wear. No, I have lots of pairs of shoes I'd never wear. That's the Yeezys that never get worn. That is correct. I guess that's what you're supposed to do.

27:14
I wear all my nice stuff. I like, you know, I get some Jordans. They might. I probably should not wear them. And I do have some nice. I think I had to get a pair of Jordans. I don't have one pair. I bought my kids. I saw some nice. Oh, yeah. They straight A's. You get some nice kicks. Yeah.

27:30
Those are nice. Yep. My son, we buy him new shoes and we just have to buy him more new shoes in like a week. Is his foot growing so fast? Ridiculous. Yeah, I know. Kind of scared of that. Ridiculous. But Nash is five, so if they don't completely wear him out, we can hand them down. Good call. I could actually wear Owen's hand-me-down shoes at this point. Oh, really? Yeah, I think he wears a size bigger than he wears a ladder. Maybe there's a strategy there.

27:55
Be like, oh, Owen, don't you really like these? And then I don't have to have the pain of wearing new shoes and getting them dirty, because that's really what it's about. If I put on a pair of those Yeezys and I walked out and it was raining, that's a heartbreaker. Yes it is.

28:10
Jay-Z's on Instagram. Oh shit. So how many followers did he get in a day? Like 5 million or something. Who knows? How was he not on Instagram? I don't know. I didn't know he wasn't. I just saw this article and I'm like, okay. I didn't know. I wonder if there's any other celebrities that aren't on Instagram. I don't know. Kanye. Yay is on. He is. Is definitely on there. He's got.

28:33
50 million dollars. What about Pete Davidson? Uh, not so. He's the new Kanye. Yeah. As far as Kim Kardashian's concerned. Yeesh. Oh, yeesh. Have you heard that? Yeah. That's weird. I don't know if, are they together together? I don't know, it's very strange. They're just friends. They're probably just friends. All celebrities are now just friends. It's casual. It's just, yeah. It's casual. Yeah, fuck buddies. Yeah. Like, yeah, they're just casual. Probably. It's cool. Kanye's gonna beat his ass. See the things that weren't cool when we were kids. What's that?

28:57
Speaking of things that weren't cool, we were right. Right. That exact, exact thing. No platonic anything. Nope. It's a waste of time. Any other good news from you this week? Uh, no, no. I'm in your world. You're good. I think, I think I told you, I'm going to Vegas a month. Nice. I'll stay in the cosmopolitan on your recommendation. There's a, so is there's, there's a sneaker boutique in there. Yes, there is. Did you go into it? Yes. It's pretty cool. It's cool.

29:27
What do they have? Is it stuff that's like way like Gucci and like? A little bit of both. Okay. There's some stuff in there you can do. It's approachable. Pricing is approachable? Yeah, yeah. Are we talking about, so there's some Jordans in there? Yeah, yeah, Jordans, Yeezys, stuff like that. Maybe I'll buy a pair of Yeezys there and it won't be an investment because I already paid too much for them and then I can wear them. Yep, there you go. That's how my head works.

29:49
You could get like, what's like a famous celebrity from Vegas that you get to sign, I guess the Vegas football teams here now. Yeah. Sigfried and Roy, one of them's dead or Hunter Renfra. He plays for the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah. That's he's I have him on my bench on my fantasy team. How's he doing? He's on the bench. Have a good year. Oh yeah. I think so for him. He's having a great year. He's not going to, he's not going to get all the targets yard. Yeah. He goes over the middle a lot.

30:16
Yep. Love that guy. I know. So good. He does some ads. Yeah. That are not so great. Those are not good. I just have him like in the background or something. Catching a football. Yeah. Catching a football. Like going deep. Right. You know, stock it deeper, sell it cheaper. And he's going deeper. You don't have John Daly on ads, like shooting a basketball. And there's a reason for that. Yeah. Right. We're talking about it. He'd have a cigarette in his hand and like, who knows what else.

30:43
Beer, definitely. Beer. Yeah, something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you know what I'm saying. Potentially. Just in the metaverse though. He is the metaverse. He's not dealing with the metaverse. He is a metaverse in and of himself. Unto himself, yeah. Cool man. We'll appreciate it. It's been a good episode.
