Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. I don't even know what that means. I don't even know. That'd be a quote of the year. It is a International Men's Day. And remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's gonna love that. Yeah. The number one legal drug is caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. That or alcohol? It probably used to be, well- Like one or two? Oh God, that or alcohol? That's a tough one. I think it's coffee.

00:29
and the latest sign of crypto's takeover. Well, it's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right? Cause it's called the staple center. When's the last time you used a staple? The hardest part of ending is starting again.

00:46
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 the latest edition of the Radcast. It's Friday, November 19th. And I'm Ryan Alford joined by Joe Hamric. What's up, Joe? Hey man, how's it going? Hey, I'm remote today. I'm at a remote secret location in, secret location at my house.

01:16
Well, you gave it away now. I know. I've been feeling a little under the weather and but I but you know what the work doesn't stop. You know, Joe, it doesn't stop. I never stop working. I'm working right now. So yeah, so I've had a little bit of an up and down week with the health. But other than that, it's been a good week. How's the week been, Joe? Good.

01:45
I feel great. Actually, I feel better. When you when you don't feel well, I feel like my health goes like through the roof. Oh, it's weird. I couldn't contribute. It is a weird inverse. It's weird. It's I could have poisoned you maybe maybe not. Just tell me what the antidote is so I can get over this. It's actually it's actually 15 shots of fireball. So oh, good. But unfortunately, the fire keg is there and I'm here.

02:15
Is it really here? Are you serious? I don't think so. Oh man, you do that to me every time. It's on backorder. I've like literally, I have it on backorder on like six sites. You're gonna end up with six fireball kegs. Hey, there's been worse things that happened, my friend. That's true. So it's been a good week on the podcast. If you missed Tuesday, Alena Smith, singer, songwriter, producer came out. And next week, my good friend, Brad Lee.

02:44
the host of Dropping Bombs, the CEO of Lightspeed. Brad is a very cool dude and very insightful. So I recommend anyone that's in sales, like yourself, Joe, to take a listen to Brad Lee next Tuesday on the Radcast. I will do it. I'll see you next Tuesday for that. You don't have to see me, just download it. Okay, well, I'll just download it. That's fine, either way. We need our numbers to go up.

03:11
Can you download it 12 times? By one. So our ratings go up? Sure. Sure, I'll put it on my own MySpace. Do it on each platform. What's that? Do it on Spotify, do it on Google, do it on Apple, and then like every episode. Sure, I'm gonna have to figure out how to use all that stuff first, and then I'll download it. Nick, can you help out? Yes. Okay, Nick's got me, I got him. Nick will help out, yes. And for those listening, if you enjoyed the podcast, like, review, share, we would appreciate it.

03:41
You know, we've got babies to feed around here, Joe, don't we? We need we need desperately desperately need it. Christmas is coming up. My kids need new shoes and stuff as well. So it's getting really appreciated. So maybe we get an official sponsor. You know, yeah, I'm having to sponsor ourselves. I think we Mike's Hard Lemonade I think was a good one. We really did them a favor, I think.

04:05
I don't think we're going to get an invite from Mike. I think the looks on our face after the third sip when we tried to make it work. I was like the first sip I was like, wow, that was pretty bad, but I was just trying to hide it. And then by sip three, I was like, I can't do this anymore. It's not what I was expecting. It's not very good. Yes. Mike started limiting. Not very good at all. It's not very good at all.

04:32
Call us Mike. Not the one for me. Not at all. No. So Thanksgiving coming up, any big Thanksgiving plans with the family? I think we're gonna go to my wife's parents' house or my wife's father's house. So that's gonna be pretty exciting. And then after that, I'm probably just gonna drive into the desert and expire, I guess. I don't know.

05:00
Where does he live? They live in Anderson so that's always fun too. Oh yeah. We're gonna drop by the jockey lot. It's funny if you're from South Carolina like and you're in the upstate it when they do the news reporting all the crimes and all the fires are all happening in Anderson County. It used to be Spartanburg. My wife and I yeah I did Sparkle City and then they come up and yeah.

05:31
but no, I thought you meant like literally you were going flying somewhere, having to get out of. No, it's still too far. It's still too far though, you know what I mean? If I can't walk there, I'm not interested. Yeah, you're pretty lazy. I'm extremely lazy. A lot of people say, my wife says that. It's fine. All your friends. Yeah, I've accepted it. It doesn't really, it's a compliment now.

06:00
play the part. Yeah. I can't imagine having to get on a plane though, like for Thanksgiving, having to deal with like the bullshit at the airport and everything else. Yeah. We flew to Tampa and it was in July and that was a disaster. So I can't imagine around the holidays. Actually come to think of it, I'm going to Las Vegas in December, right? The 16th through 20th. So that's going to be really bad.

06:25
Now that I think of it. Well, at least you're going to Vegas. I mean, you know, it's gonna be a lot worse places. A lot worse. You know, I can think of nothing worse than going to, oh, I'm gonna really offend the city when I say this, but like we're going to St. Louis to visit mom and dad. Like, you gotta go wait in the, you know, like, we're going to Louisville, Kentucky. Tampa's pretty bad to be perfectly honest. You know, Tampa at least got a beach and it's warm.

06:55
I guess man, it's just oh, Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. I don't even know what that means. We're gonna, that'd be a quote of the year. Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. That's their new ad campaign. We're the St. Louis of Florida. Moving to an important part of our weekly marketing news segment would be our social holidays. That's so important. We only have three this week. It is important.

07:25
This is where you get your dated information that you should have already planned for if you're a marketing social media manager. Because by the time you listen to it, you know. If you're getting it here, you're probably, yeah, you banged it up already. Maybe we should start doing like a week ahead of time. So it actually is like, or two weeks ahead of time. Relevant is the word I take. So it's useful. Yeah, so there's relevance in people that actually plan. We might actually get some social media planners like listening.

07:54
the podcast. Well, some probably some probably already do to be fair. But yeah, we probably get more. Yeah, we probably would. But today being the 19th, I mean, if I had my keyboard with me and my sound effects, this would this would be getting like lots of applause and everything else ding the ding. Today. It is a International men's day. It's our day. Finally.

08:23
I mean, we've been waiting for a day to be in charge and to celebrate through history, really. Yes, it's at Adam and Eve, I believe. It's finally here. What are you gonna do? How are you gonna celebrate? I'm gonna, I don't know, pat myself on the back and remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's gonna love that. What did she get you for your gift? She's like, oh, it's that every day.

08:52
Yeah, better be something good. Yeah, I better be for sure Yeah, who knows what do you think uh, you're good, uh, poof I don't know. My wife doesn't listen to this. Yeah, exactly Exactly a big handful of nothing Yeah But big fat. Yeah, i'm gonna pat myself on the back as well Yes, I deserve it. Yes today's international

09:21
and so much more. I feel great. Tomorrow is universal children's day. Okay. As men, we get to celebrate for all of a day. And then we had a, we had the children get bright. That means how much of a slap in the face is it to men? Like the kids are always at the forefront anyway, as soon as they come along.

09:44
And then as men, we have, we get one day to celebrate ourselves. And the next day is international children's day. Is that not the slap of all faces? We've been held down for too long. Then I think plus the children's is universal, the whole universe and ours is only international. So that's a little bit of a, you know what I mean? Raw deal. Exactly. Raw deal. Unbelievable. Um, but you know, it's all made up in all, it all is okay though, because Sunday.

10:13
is World Hello Day. Hello. That's a... I think we should make it Say Hello Funny Day. Yeah. Hello. Yeah, I like that. Hello. And so, so we're just supposed to go around and say hello to people, I guess. I guess. World Hello Day. Assuming you don't... Say hello. Say hello, my little friend. Okay. Say hello. Okay. To my little friend. There it is.

10:42
Ding. Yeah, that's, you're just gonna have to make all the sounds with your mouth. Ding. I should have my sound effects in the speaker here. You should, I asked Nick if I could use the sound effects and he was like, no, nobody can touch that except Brian. Damn it. That's true, that's true. There's a secret code on that to even get to it. Okay, enough. Yeah, to even open up the sound effects box. It's that complicated.

11:09
No, it's not. It's that complicated for me just to figure out how to get it to work. Right, fair enough. Like, Nick, damn it. This key doesn't work. This key's doing a flush and I want it to do applause. This is a disaster. Yes. So world hello day, Sunday. Can't wait. Say hello to all your neighbors and friends and everyone else. I'd prefer not. That'd be kind of funny. I'd like to follow your... I'm gonna get the guys to follow you around.

11:38
You just say hello to like everyone, like the most random people. How many times can I get punched in the face? That's that's what that is. I'd South Carolina. I think you'd be all right. They'd be, you know, yeah, pretty cordial people here. Yeah, it might actually be boring because people would just be like, hey, great. They'd be so they'd be so friendly. Yeah. Conversations, I'd get into conversations with people just like, oh, oh, who wants to do that? The worst.

12:04
You don't have to talk to anybody. Yeah, it's World Hello Day, not World, I listen to your bullshit day. I don't wanna, I'm not interested. That's next week, that's next week. Yeah, yeah, share your BS day, it's next Thursday. It's called Thanksgiving. That's what all your family does. It's like, Uncle Johnny, I hadn't seen you in two years and you wouldn't tell me about the, you know.

12:32
I don't know. I saw your Facebook. You don't need to tell me about it here. I understand your political views from Facebook. You don't have to. Don't bring it to dinner. That's yeah, that's all it is. It's like we get a reashing of what we heard on Facebook the last year. 100 percent. I can't wait. It's going to be. That's where Seinfeld was onto something with the sharing of grievances like I mean, yeah, really, what Thanksgiving is, isn't it? A little bit. Yeah.

13:00
And with each other occasionally, there's a Thanksgiving or two I've been to that's been a little bit of a blow up. I'm sure everyone's been one of those. Yeah, well, it's just even if it's not a blow up, it's like, I don't know, it's like everybody gets to intermingle with people they see once a year. And I don't know, people are gonna think I'm anti-family. I'm not. I just think, you know, you're tight. I had rather.

13:25
Like my tight knit family that I see and like I don't have to do like a family get together. Sure. Like on a Friday where they're serving lots of alcohol. Yep. Like, but, but Thanksgiving lunch, I'd like to spend with my close type family. Sure. Never. It's still Thanksgiving dinner, I guess. Really? Right. Yeah, sure. Even if it's during the day or whatever. As long as it's during the day, I think it can be lunch or dinner. Okay. Supper.

13:55
Yeah. Supper. Supper. Supper, dude. Supper. Thanksgiving. That's what I'm saying. So Thanksgiving's next week. And now everybody thinks I'm an anti-family. I'm not. I just think we, I don't know, overthink our holidays sometimes. I think, you know, like, I just don't really want to know what Aunt Sally's like, you know, problems are. Right. Don't care. I think that's what you mean.

14:24
It's not that I don't care. It's like, I just don't have a solution for you. I don't care. And my turkey's like tasting bad because we're talking about it. You know? You got the Debbie Downer aunt, you know what I mean? The Saturday Night Live where she's like, that's what I mean. It's like, I go into these things like in a great mood and like I come out of them like, oh, okay. Yeah. Man.

14:51
That's why that's what wines for I believe I Think you're right, but we still have some some dry family events that Yeah, this is gonna mine's gonna be a 21st century mine's gonna be a dry family event Unfortunately, yeah, I'm gonna maybe take a cooler a small cooler of white claws

15:14
in the car. Yeah, I four cases for. There you go. Oh, I gotta take this work phone call. I need to I'll be right back in in about 20 minutes. Yeah That and smoking joint in the bathroom, whatever it takes to get through it. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. So, um, we got some good news topics this week. Okay. Um First, I don't are you a starburst guy?

15:45
Starbucks. Are you a Starbucks person? I don't drink coffee that much. I'm not. Yeah, me either. But let me tell you, because I go Fridays. I like to sometimes I try to get into an article that it makes me think of a story. You know how I am, Jeff. I love it. The my son and I Clayton, he's my oldest, 12th, sixth grade. And we go, we have to take his brother, my middle child Hudson,

16:15
has to go to, he does school patrol on Fridays. He has to get there super early. Nice. But Clayton doesn't have to get there till like 8 a.m. And so we go to Starbucks and sit there for about 45 minutes and have, you know, father son time, you know, talking about middle school and stuff. And I coach his basketball team. It's just our time together. Sure. Father son, banter. And

16:40
I'm we sit there, you know for about 45 minutes on a Friday morning from like 7 15 to 8 a.m And the one in Greenville, South Carolina on Augusta Road I'm sitting there counting the people coming in out of that place They and they had the app thing figured out by the people already ordered they pick it come in they walk up to the counter I'm like the amount of people buying $8 coffees at the rate at which they're doing in one Starbucks I'm like, why did I not think of this?

17:08
I mean, it's like unbelievable, the volume of $8. Yeah, and so yesterday was Red Cup Day. So they give away these red cups. Sure, every year, yeah. And all the holiday cups. And it supposedly really ups the sales for that day. I'm like, they really need it. Yeah, they desperately needed it. People are so, it's like the most, it's like.

17:36
And look, I drink energy drinks. So I'm definitely the pot calling the kettle black a little bit here with caffeine. But I will say it's gotta be like the most, the number one legal drug is caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. That or alcohol? It probably used to be well- Like one or two? Oh God, that or alcohol, that's a tough one. I think it's coffee. It probably is, probably more people drink coffee. Or caffeine. Caffeine, yeah. Caffeine, you know, whatever. Oh, caffeine. Oh yeah.

18:06
Yeah, because if you go across coke or Diet Coke and then coffee and energy drinks, it's definitely, definitely caffeine. No question. My wife doesn't do this, but I've had friends and had girlfriends that will drink seven Diet Cokes in a day. Like, you know, I don't know if you know that person. So my wife, actually my wife, that's my, that's my impression. So no big deal. Your dear, your dear lovely wife. Yeah, she is lovely.

18:36
I don't know how dear she is. The, she drinks the, she used to drink three or four diet cokes a day. I think she's down to maybe one. But it's like, that's like, it's like coffee kind of, it's like an addiction. Like if we don't have one in the refrigerator, like she goes and gets one. You know what I mean? It's kind of like me with cocaine. Do you know what I mean? If like I don't have any, I have to go get some. You really get hankering for it. Yeah, I'm like, I really could use a little bit of cocaine right now and I just go get some.

19:06
Right, Nick? Nick gets the best stuff. Oh, God. Unbelievable. Peruvian marching powder. Nick wears a lot of hats at Radical. Today's podcast brought to you by Peruvian marching powder. It's the best cocaine for your money. Yes. I do think they put cocaine in coke, though. Like, I'll get on these spi... Like, I drink energy drinks and I do drink them pretty religiously.

19:35
If you go look at our refrigerator at work, I got like seven cases in there. There's no problem whatsoever. But I do think that caffeine is quite the addiction and I think Starbucks has the monopoly on a lot of it because I sit there and watch the people coming in and out of that place. And I'll say this, it's the same people. We go there now, like it's become a ritual. We used to do hot cake Fridays at McDonald's, but McDonald's on a...

20:02
in our neighborhood has stayed kind of locked up for court. Like, did you drive through only until a certain hours? Really? And so like, yeah, they've just started to reopen, but they don't have they're not open fully when we go. So we switched over to Starbucks. Okay. And not only is it called seven times more, we went from it's not good either for me and my son. It's not like $21 to get a bagel. And of course, my son's drinking a small coffee now too. Oh, boy.

20:31
You know, hop. I'm like, oh boy, here we go. You put a lot of sugar in it? Because coffee kind of tastes. He gets a mocha. He gets like a mocha. OK. So it's got some sugar already in it. There we go. You know. And that's, I mean, half people come in are getting those drinks too. Oh, yeah. They do have caffeine in them. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So Joey and Sean both drink a ton of coffee. Sean, especially. Joey, I don't know. Cold brew. Yeah. Yeah, Sean, I think, just straight up drinks coffee all day long.

20:58
I don't know how he does it. Cause he's the most relaxed guy, but he's just like pounding coffee on. I can't do it, man. I can't do it. It makes me feel terrible. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I can't either. I have like two energy drinks a day, typically. One at like super early, cause I work out early. Sure, brag. And then one like mid morning. And then that's it. You don't have the five hour- And they're not like, they're not the five hour energy or like the-

21:25
the nitro 700 milligrams of caffeine. They're mild as energy drinks go too. But I'll admit that I have wondered if you kind of just get off the caffeine, if it would be better, I don't know. I probably have some withdrawal symptoms, I would think if you, right, initially? Yeah, I don't know. I haven't had it. I've been under the weather here for a few days. That's true. And I haven't had any. And other than this.

21:52
this hemoglobin going on the back of my head and this twitching, I'm good. Yeah. I noticed your eye twitching. Yeah, your eye's twitching a lot. So it's fine. You're probably fine. I think I'm good. I don't drink hardly any caffeine. I want to go back to caffeine, right? I want this whole podcast to be about caffeine. Yeah, please. All right. Let's go.

22:16
I'm just gonna say I don't really drink any caffeine except if I'm extremely tired and then I'll have like a Diet Coke or something. So that was worth stopping for. No, it was, but I do, I am amazed that you don't need caffeine at all. Well, I don't have a lot of energy. So it's not like, it's not like I don't drink caffeine and I'm like, oh man, I'm just like, you can see this is it. This is high energy for me.

22:46
Well, speaking of high energy, okay. Pop, Papa John's just unveiled a new logo. Yeah. You know, nice transition. He is high energy. And people are, people are confused. They removed the, the apostrophe in the Johns. Yeah. And it now it's Papa John's and, uh, aren't John, isn't it now a port-a-potty?

23:13
Like a bathroom, John's? Yeah, I was looking at that. It's a little bit of a mindfuck. Because it was possessive, Papa John's, right? Or it was Papa John is pizza. It could be that. It could be saying that Papa John is pizza. But now what is it? Papa John's, there's no... It's just multiple Johns? Does that make sense? Lots of Johns. Papa John's? Yeah, no, it doesn't.

23:41
Multiple Johns, it just sounded like we were doing a prostitution bust. I think the person that wrote this article thinking about it more than most people will, I don't know how much people would really see it. And I will say like, I'm looking at it on the screen here, like the new logo. It does pop a little more, you know, with the colors. It looks good. Yeah. And it's a little more congruent without the, uh, apostrophe. I mean, those, those name apostrophes just kind of get in the way.

24:09
Grammatically, grammatically it bothers me. I don't know, it's weird. I know, well you're a writer. Yeah, well. So, it's like. It bothers, I don't know, I was looking at it, you sent it to me and I was like, I don't understand, what is it now? It's nothing now, it's not possessed, I don't, it bothers me. I bet, you know what, you should ask, there you go, you should ask your wife because she's a school person if it bothers her. Yep, I will.

24:35
It will definitely bother her. It probably does. I, I, I own a freaking ad agency and we write copy all the time. And she critiques my every text message. So believe me, like she, she's like literally like, I'm like short-handing something and she's like, you know, grading my paper on my text message. So I have no doubt this will bother her. Yeah. Let's get her opinion for next, next week. Maybe. Yeah. We'll get it. I'll bring it.

25:02
I'll bring it for next week. Does she want to be on the podcast? That's it. At the Radcast? I don't know. But I do want to make notes since she said that, that Joe Hammer will be joining. The weekly news segment as a stay on as long as we can keep twisting his arm. So I'm excited to have you consistently on the show, Joe. As long as we can stand each other. This is going to be, it's going to be a great partnership.

25:29
It's the last hey man. We stand we still each other since what 14 years old. Yeah. Yeah right around 14 15 years old Yeah, yeah, it should be fine Third it's been 30 years At this point if the radcast is what is what splits us up then that mean it was meant to be I guess You know what I mean? Yeah, I guess I guess Yeah, no, I'm excited about it should be fun yeah the

25:59
Newing on, it shows you how big crypto is getting. The Staples Center, which is where LeBron James played, LA Lakers and several other teams, obviously. They're going to rebrand it as crypto.com arena and the latest sign of crypto's takeover. First thoughts there?

26:23
It's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right? Cause it's called the staple center. When's the last time you used a staple? I, for me, I don't even know. I, years, you know what I mean? It's you're basically taking Dunder Mifflin, like it's, it's paper. You know what I mean? You're selling paper and you've switched it to the most high tech thing you can. So it's a sign of the times for sure. Yeah, for sure. And a sign of money. I mean, and like, and when's the last time you went into a staples?

26:53
Staples store. Oh my god. I don't know Multiple years. Yeah, you got me buy it online Right. Exactly. You buy everything called Amazon. Yeah, or just honestly staples comm even I mean come on Staples Brick and mortar. What can you what can you buy at staples comm that you can't buy on Amazon? Staples comm merch

27:22
That's the only thing I do. Easy button? Yeah, well, nah, you'd probably buy that on Amazon though. You'd probably buy it. I bought a generic one on Amazon actually. There you go. The radical button. Bootleg. Oh yeah, yeah, bootleg. Bootleg. You can record your own voice. Bootleg bus staples buttons are huge right now. It's a huge Christmas item. Really? So, everybody in my family, no, I don't think so. Everybody in my family is getting one. Everyone, everyone. Custom, custom. This is gonna be great.

27:51
Not custom, no, the same one. They're all getting the same one. The same one. They're all gonna open it at the same time and be like, what the fuck? What are you doing? Well, that way, at least there's no divide. There's no like, you got him more than me or she or whatever. It's equality. Socialistic Christmas. We're big into communism and socialism at my house. Everyone, I end up with a lot of lingerie, which is weird. You know what I mean? Like everybody gets lingerie. I'm just like, what are we gonna do with this? So my wife likes it, I don't know.

28:21
Gotta keep her happy, right Nick? Yeah, you get the kids' panties. Yeah, my son. I guess you gotta give it to, it's a thong, I guess your mom's gotta wear it. Well, my son and I wear pretty close to the same size now, so we can switch back and forth if we want. It's pretty dope. It intermix your thongs. Yeah, yeah, we just trade in the middle of the day. Thong change, and we just, yeah.

28:47
What can father and son pay a bonding? That's the best kind. It's great, yeah. It's great. We love it. You should try it. You've got multiple sons though, so you guys could all like. You know what I mean? Thong song. Cisco. You remember that song? How could you forget it? Probably one of the best songs in the history of man. I think so. Cisco, the thong song is the rad.

29:16
movie of songs as far as I'm concerned. Yes. So. Yes it is. So I'm gonna skip ahead to a couple articles here. Apple will sell you iPhone parts now to fix your own phone at home. What the hell? Get out of here. I was like, I read this and I was like, okay. First I was like, oh, that's cool. You can do it yourself. Then I'm like.

29:43
how the hell are people gonna, you're gonna have jacked up phones, they're even worse than they were. How are you gonna fix your own phone at home? NASA will sell you parts to make your own rocket. That's what that says to me. Yeah, what's the average education, like fifth grade? Like average US education level? Probably. And they're gonna fix their iPhone. Yeah, okay. Let me ask you this. Sure.

30:10
If I broke your iPhone right now and gave you the parts to fix it, could you fix it? I could, but I'm pretty handy with electronics. No matter what? No matter what was broken? No, if it was like the screen. Well, that's, yeah, you can't do anything about that. You gotta go get that fixed. But anything internal, like, I have a mic, here's a microchip I broke. I gotta fix that. Yeah. Yeah. Right? No. Pass. No. Well, let me ask you this then. If I gave you the parts to make a rocket,

30:39
How long would it take for you to put them together to go to the moon?

30:43
Realistically infinity and be infinity. I mean never and beyond right never never Never never I call my dad and my dad can build anything He figured out about a year you think so, but you think Steve would figure it out in a year That's he was an engineer's mind. Yeah, and he did architecture and so he's I mean he's

31:11
He kind of has a brain for that. I think maybe. And he may still, and he may still not get it right. I'm not like, Oh, my dad can do anything. He still may not get it right. He does have, he still may not get it right. I don't know. It'll be close. It's a fucking rocket ship. It'll be close though.

31:26
You have some wooden parts in there that you threw in. He's a carpenter, right? Like he loves carpentry, right? Yeah. He'll just have some wooden parts thrown in that he made like some wooden dowels and then put together. Yeah. It's fine. Looks nice on the inside. It's beautiful. The nicest cockpit ever. Yeah, the beautiful is inside. Yeah, inside's beautiful. Nice mahogany and doesn't fly. But it burns. Yeah. It burns. And then it gets into orbit. It's a death trap. Beautiful. Beautiful though. The...

31:55
I just don't see that going well with iPhone parts going to people. They're tiny too, right? They just increase their customer service level call volume by 4,000%. Do you think that's what it is? It's like the McDonald's thing with the ice cream maker where it's like, you know, they had the parts that only they could service. Now, iPhone is, Apple's letting people try to fix their iPhones and they're gonna fuck it up so bad that Apple's gonna have to fix it again. Yeah. Is that what you're kind of saying? I mean like that's- A little bit.

32:24
I'm thinking it just seems like a good idea and people just are not gonna be capable of doing it. And it's probably gonna lead to them selling more. It's a brilliant backdoor thing. Hey, we gave you the parts. We let you try to fix it. Yeah, we gave you the parts. It'd be funny if they didn't give you instructions too. If they just gave you the parts and were like, good luck, bro.

32:53
Oh, no, they got this figured out. They're sourcing that from Ikea, the Ikea instruction company. So they'll be perfect. Every language. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I can't wait. I'm going to break my phone. Yeah. Russian that's been, you know, translated to Chinese. That's then changed to English. It comes out perfect every time. 1% of the time, every time. Right. It's like Google translate. It's always exactly right.

33:23
No matter what. Yes. So Applebee's has come out. From apples to Applebee's. Cheetos, apples to Applebee's. Applebee's has created Cheetos Fried Chicken Cheese Bites. Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah, so. Cheetos flavored fried chicken. I've got exciting news for you, okay? I have tried wings from Applebee's that were coated in fiery hot Cheeto dust or whatever it's called. The hot Cheetos. Oh, how are they?

33:53
Surprisingly good. Yeah, Applebee's kinda hit it out of the park on that one. It was, you know, is it the best thing I've ever eaten? Yes. Bar none. But it was actually really good. Way better than that farroir and that steak you had that one. Garbage compared to it. I'd rather have a hamburger topped with spicy hot Cheeto wings any day. Bone in.

34:22
The, yeah, but they're doing all these cheats. Like my kids eat this Cheetos flavored macaroni and cheese. That's pretty good. I took a couple bites of that. It's pretty tasty. Did you try, have they tried the hot one? Yeah, they ate like two bites of it. I took a bite of it and I was like, it's pretty good. I don't really want a stomach ache later. So yeah, so I ate a box of that. And yeah, you were correct. You're correct on the outcome of that.

34:46
I don't really I don't know if the outcome of that is even appropriate for the radcast. It's not no no It's uh, but it's what you think what first that one right down the toilet. Oh, that would be so good It'd be so good right now but uh But Applebee's, you know playing off the the hit song, you know from the summer Can't think of the guy's name right now. What is it like Applebee's?

35:16
What's his name? They get fancy or whatever. What is it, Nick? Fancy, fancy like. Fancy like. Who sings it, Nick? Yeah. You're fired. I fired Nick, Ryan. All right. After the podcast. I might have to hire him back after the podcast. Okay. Just call him. Nick, where are you going? Oh, well. We'll figure it out. If I can fix an iPhone, I can run off the fucking Radcast, dude. Without question. No question. And lastly.

35:45
today. In the absurd and crazy and we talked about last week, I think with Sean or something or or Joey can't remember we talked about those assholes. The ball. Yeah, one of those assholes. The volleyball from castaway Wilson sold for 300 grand. And this week, Kanye West, the college dropout bear costume was selling for $1 million.

36:15
I don't know what that is. Did he wore a bear costume? Yeah. In what, like the videos and stuff? We're gonna have to, Nick, you're gonna have to probably pop up sometime. This was from a while back. I remember, I mean, it was, it had Gold, or Gold Digger on it, right? The song, Gold Digger was on there? Yeah. I think so. It was a long time ago. Why was he a bear? It was, it was, it was 15 years ago. Sure. Okay. And...

36:46
And he's now selling it for $1 million. I didn't mean to grind it to a halt not knowing what the bear costume is, but it's a bear costume. Is it full bear costume? Kanye wore it? Oh, it's a, yeah, it looks like a costume, like a character at showbiz pizza, you know, like you wear it. Like you can't see his face? Like you can't see the face? No. It's not a coat with a hood on it, like workaholics? No, that's right. And.

37:14
Worth it. Yeah, one million. Where do people, people just have too much money to spend I think. That's like Jake Paul's gonna buy it or something, right? I mean, obviously. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. One of those dance moves. And wear it, you know. He's gonna fight somebody in it. Oh, that would be amazing. What if he bought that and then somebody else bought like, I don't know, what's another, what do bears fight? Sharks? Bought a shark costume, like from the Katy Perry video. That would be great.

37:42
And they could, uh, they could fire a Katy Perry half Superbowl thing. They could fight. Yeah. I like it. We'll get Bruce buffer to, uh, Yeah. To referee it. Yeah. To referee it. Not even do an ounce. Yeah. No, just referee it. He's like referee. Whatever. And the announcer we need, we might think, you know, this might be a low budget. We might have to get into both announce and refer to you at the same time. I'm sure it's super cheap to get them to do that.

38:10
Yeah, his rates are rock bottom. Sure Me only does special announcing first for certain celebrities, you know, yeah Well Jake Paul and a bear friends Jake Paul in a bear costume and Ryan Alford We may or may not have done the radcast, you know, well, I guess we'll see won't we?

Um, we've got a couple coming out that are, uh, like, you know, Gen X modern dads, you know, everybody likes to put out those dad videos where it's the corny like, Oh, I'm on the grill. I'm, you know,

39:27
It's kind of the opposite. It's kind of actually just me being a dad, if you can imagine. Yeah, it's hard to imagine, but I can imagine. It's a lot of people. For my kids, it's hard to imagine, actually. And then we're going to shoot, I think, a Chad and Dad Thanksgiving coming up this weekend. So that should be pretty fun. Nice. Y'all scripted it already, I'm sure. Oh, no, actually, we're we're supposed to do that. We're doing that tonight. We wrote a bunch of jokes back and forth on text message. Some of them.
