Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. Here is the Radcast News. It's Friday, September 16th, 2022, our weekly marketing, advertising, business news of the week. What's up, Christina? Not much, not much. Happy Friday. Yes, halfway through September. Yes, halfway through it. Don't like it.
Starting point is 00:00:23 You know, I know exactly where we're on the calendar based on my calendar, my social calendar, which is baseball practice and then baseball practice. And then baseball game and then baseball practice. And then sign up for basketball. So it's a sports season is here. Yes. We love some fall ball. I know.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Well, we're in it every one of them. I think they back some things up this year. We've had like two baseball practices. And I got the email for basketball. And I'm like, okay. All right. Let's go. So many athletes.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Do all of your kids play basketball ambival? baseball? Basketball, all, baseball, half. Sounds about right. Soccer, three, fours. That's really cool. Yeah, it's good. And I enjoy, I mean, look, I know I'll look back and I enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:01:17 It's just a little hectic, you know. It's like, you enjoy it and you know you'll look back and go, damn, those were the days. I know, right, right. I know. Look, it's still hard. Still time. Bouncing around everywhere. And, you know, like, are they getting good enough coach?
Starting point is 00:01:30 Like, you know, like, and then I'm coaching, like, basketball. I signed up to help on baseball, but they didn't really want my help in baseball. So. Hurd ball. Yeah. I was there. I mean, I played baseball. I was okay, but then I focused all basketball.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So, Cole and I both played basketball. Good stuff. So. Nice. We'll see. We will see. How's your early, late summer, early fall season? I know it's still, I guess, technically summer.
Starting point is 00:01:58 It's, you know, going well. Going well. I mean, I wore a treadmill today, but I look like doing the Rock Johnson. So it's fine. You just need a bigger, bigger chain. Right, exactly. That's it. And a fanny pack. I'm the meme, essentially. Did it make you, uh. That's how I felt. Yes. Yes. Yes, I did. I was like, oh, no. Oh, yeah. We are not Meg Ryan. It's fine. It is okay.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So we had a, uh, this happened last week, and we need to talk about it last week. We're a little condensed for time. But, uh, the new iPhone, launched last week. Big deal. I've on 14. I guess I think pre-order it's coming out any day now. I did order the new AirPods because I lost mine. It's kind of like sunglasses and headphones for me.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Last, if I get a year at them. That's how sunglasses are. Yep. I empathize with that. They either break. They end up at the bottom of like Kiwi or, you know, stepped on something. Somebody walks or I, you know, I leave it on the back of a bathroom stall. like if you like you know
Starting point is 00:03:02 oh yeah urinal just to be specific yeah I'll set them down all the time and yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:03:10 you set me up for that one yes you do you go do you do like things on urinals but yes I'm excited to get some new air pod supposedly the noise cancelling's amazing and the reviews got me I was like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:03:28 I needed them anyway because I've been out without them for like three weeks. They completely disappear. You know, that bullshit, like, find your AirPods. Well, let me tell you, that shit don't work. Like, I had it all, like, all that stuff turned on because I've misplaced things. And I'm like, find my AirPods. Last place was somewhere in the middle of the lake.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I'm like, okay. I know they're not in the bottle of the lake. Right, right. But it's like, that was like the last time they pinged my phone, I guess. Maybe we were out of the boat. Sure. And, you know, they were on the boat. And I'm like, okay, that's not helpful.
Starting point is 00:04:01 It's all Apple's plan. So I turned on the thing that's like, if someone else maybe turns them on, it alerts you. Hadn't come on yet. Fowl play is suspected. Yeah. So I'm going to go jack somebody up. I find the, like, we're getting the emoji. Well, we found them on the back of the journal.
Starting point is 00:04:20 They're like, we didn't know whose they were. Because how do you know? You don't know unless somebody's names on the case. Mine are engraved, but like my contact information isn't on them. Yeah, Duane, the Rock Johnson. Yes, it just says the Rock, actually, I'll have you know. Just the Rock. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:04:35 And I'll be like, who's giving me headphones from Greenwoods, South Carolina? But we're also getting some new emojis. We're getting a goose and Maracas and a little talk to the hand and a ginger root among others. I've been waiting for that talk to the hand. That's for sure. Every time you slack me, I'm going to be like, listen. You know, that's a Nick thing. Nick's a Maraca player.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I'm going to use that goose. He plays Maroccas. What is this? The wrong. This is Italian. That's how you're playing. Spanish. Close.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Hi, Maracas. I don't know. It was great. I will say it's an age myself. I worked on the first iPhone launch in 2007. And it was a huge campaign, obviously. One of the most prolific ad campaigns of all time. And, you know, like to think back, number one, I feel really old because it was 15 years ago.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And it feels like yesterday. Yeah. And I'm being that guy. You know, like, seemed like yesterday. But it did. But it was an iconic campaign and, you know, an iconic device because it's changed the world. It has. You know, you had Blackberry and you had other smartphones, but they didn't bring it to the masses as easily as the iPhone did.
Starting point is 00:05:46 The interface and everything with the iPhone just changed the game. It allowed my mom to use a smartphone. Right. And so. And then it connects it to every other Apple device. Yeah. And in the app store and everything like that. It's just amazing how it's changed media in the entire landscape of what you do and expect to do on your phone.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And so it was a fun time in my career. And then it's it's crazy to watch. It's interesting because I'm like watching like the innovations now. It's not changing much. Yeah. You know, like they got a new thing. Dynamic Island the way like the little notch above where the cameras are. And it's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:27 But it's like that. They're going to get me excited about an upgrade for that and like one or two more megapixels on the camera. There's been a couple camera innovations that have been worth it. I don't know. It's just like...
Starting point is 00:06:37 To me, it feels like every like fourth iPhone is when something worth it happens. In this new iPhone, it's point one inches bigger. It's like this one's going to have another camera. Yeah. What if it had another camera? We've added a six lens and camera to the back. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Next year it's going to be to the front. What if it came in? Purple. Yeah. That's it. But, you know, so we'll see. I guess the apps themselves are the innovations. Be real.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah. Or, you know, how many more megapixels we can get on the shooting. Nick, you can be able to put down that DSLR and just, you know, shoot on the iPhone. Yeah, the day's coming, man. There you go. It might. Looking forward to that. Truly.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Put down that heavy camera. Yeah, around the iPhone. I don't know. Just writing your. your pocket. There you go. So we'll see, but it's, it is, I don't know, how much it's changed the world. Like if you really think about it. Like, and like the, you know, how much content's consumed, like the amount of data and the amount of content consumption and the proliferation, I think, of business marketing because, you know, before.
Starting point is 00:07:58 you couldn't do, I mean, yeah, there was digital ads and things like that on the website, but being mobile and being able to be marketed to at all times, you know, with the phone in your pocket. Yep. It's like, it's constantly being sold. Yeah. So there you have it. There's my thinking back. You have back in my day.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Moment of the day. No, it was fun. It was crazy. I don't think I realized how big it was in the moment. You know, I was just doing the job, you know? Right. and like and pushing out ads and the operational side after kind of the creative components.
Starting point is 00:08:34 But I will tell you who's a Nazi. And I don't use that word lightly. Apple was the Nazi brand to deal with back of the day of wireless cell phones. Because like I've worked with Verizon Wireless a lot. So we worked with multiple manufacturers including Apple. And when they, you couldn't do anything. Like, they controlled every single thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 From, like, obviously, packaging and design with their phones and all that. That was their own stuff. But, like, they were very salty to deal with compared to a Motorola, compared to a Blackberry, who would be up for, like, any kind of co-promotion, co-marketing type things. But Apple's, like, Lockdown City. Like, I mean, we never got our hands more slapped than, like, if you did anything. Yeah. Like, and they were so scared of Apple too. Because they knew how big it was and how big the launch was and how many phones they were going to sell.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Like they were, they walked on eggshells with Apple. And because Apple was so controlling with everything. Fascinating. It was interesting. The difference between like a campaign for Apple and a campaign for, you know, the droid or Motorola. And we pushed the envelope with droid. That was one of my proudest campaigns working on, you know, because. because they actually took it to Apple for about eight months.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah. And so, and no one had really had done that. It didn't last, I think, because they banned some of the components of the campaign, quite frankly. But it,
Starting point is 00:10:10 but Apple, man, they, they control their shit. I mean, and I, and part of me, I mean, I admired it.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Right. But damn, it was a pan ass to work with. I mean, it's just like, you know, it was so funny, the clients.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I mean, you know, executives, the way they walked on, like, you know, be in a room, they'd be talking about, well, you know, when Apple comes out, we've got to be really like, and it was just like how much they bowed out a little bit to them. And then every store tried to then start mimicking what Apple stores were like, oh, we got to get cleaner. Because if you go into wireless stores or even any kind of retail store, dust.
Starting point is 00:10:47 They were very busy. Yeah. Lots of colors, lots of stuff. Apple comes out with their stores are all white. Yeah. super clean. Everything's in the back and stock and like, you know, even to the Apple source today. And literally everyone became a Me Too.
Starting point is 00:11:01 It's like, we got to have an Apple look. Like every single person, like every store was trying to get clean. And, you know, I'm not saying it didn't hurt, but it was just, it was just interesting watching the behavior of, I don't know, people. I was like. Imitation is the highest form of flannery. Oh, they were. So there we go. New iPhones coming out.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Don't know that I'm going to get the iPhone 13 Pro, which I'm pretty happy with. But that dynamic island is enough for me. But I will say those AirPods pros coming in, I can drown out all the noise around me. Put on some music. There you go. There you go. I do. Speaking of music, sweet, sweet music, nothing brings more music to my ears than our sponsor,

Yes, but go check out our good friends and official merchandise sponsor, Brayna Bills, brand of bills, brand of bills.com. Last week, we had some great stuff happen. William King Hollis. Yeah, that was a really very...
Starting point is 00:13:26 What an inspiring episode. Yeah, no, man. You know, like... Truly. It was kind of like a sermon meets motivation, meets a lot of different things. Yeah. A little different episode,
Starting point is 00:13:36 but I really enjoyed having William on and just a really inspirational dude. I mean, like, what a natural speaker-talker. He's out, like, just making it happen, you know? Yeah. And really enjoyed that. Check that out. That released on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:13:53 We're doing a recording today, actually, for an episode that will release in a couple weeks with Sean Merriman, who's an all-pro. I don't know if you're like, I don't like calling people ex-all pros. I mean, he's retired. He's ex-defensive linemen from the San Diego Chargers, but he was all-pro multiple years. He was a beast. This is like 22, 2007, 8, 9-10, like just a total beast, all pro for like four years. And now he's got a few new brands. We're going to talk market.
Starting point is 00:14:23 We're going to talk balls and brands. Smooth. But, yeah, so Sean Merriman coming a couple weeks. We're going to do a release because actually we've got a new episode with Christopher Lockhead. Christopher Lockhead's one of the leading voices in my year in marketing, super bright guy, category creation, category pirates is kind of his brand. And I would re-listen to that. episode and was like, this this needs to be re-released because we're going to do a new release, a new episode next month. And so I think there was so much value in that episode
Starting point is 00:15:03 for entrepreneurs and people thinking about starting new businesses and how to go about it. And then we're actually going to be talking about next month, something really fascinating, this notion of digital natives versus native analogs. So we have a really gigantic. that's happening where people that have grown up with just digital, purely with smartphones, with other things. Like the kids today that are now becoming 30, 31, 32, getting in leadership roles are digitally native versus people around my age. I think I swing a little bit to both of these.
Starting point is 00:15:44 But 50 to 60 year olds are native analogs. And they think about the world very differently. And there's some really fundamental change and some things that businesses need to think about because digital natives think about the world around you in the physical world as the alternative secondary world to their digital world and not the other way around. So like, you know, they almost look at in real life being an interruption to what their digital real life is. So like, I mean, this is an extreme example. And I like to think my kids are more balanced than most playing a lot of sports and things like that. But if they're on YouTube or they're playing video games and doing stuff, they wouldn't do that 24-7, but anything is kind of an interruption to that. Totally.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Versus when I grew up, when I played outside and played in, I had video games, but still playing outside doing stuff. Right. you know, that was kind of my natural state. Yeah, that was your reality. Yeah, the realities now are digital. And the implications of that are very vast. And that's what Christopher's going to come on to talk about. And it's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And I think any business leader needs to think about these things about how marketing needs. There's just tons of implications. So looking forward to that. That's next month. But we're going to do a release with Christopher on Tuesday of next week. if you haven't listened to that episode, really, too good, too good to miss. Speaking too good to miss. Just really give to these transition.

You need to be socially relevant and up to date. Social media skills. Social media skills, pop culture, hip, but also just get shit done. You don't, you know, take names and ask questions later. Better ask forgiveness than permission, I always say.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yes. So let us know we are looking for someone now. And, you know, I'm looking for some social media holidays. Yes, happy National Guacamole Day Day, Jay. Jay, Day. It's cool. That's fine. Everything's fine.

Starting point is 00:20:22 And then tomorrow you could celebrate. You're a country music fan. International Country Music Day. The, yes, it is my favorite genre. Makes sense. Ah, there it goes. A little late clap for both working parents and international. Country music is my favorite.
Starting point is 00:20:40 So I'll celebrate it. It's Saturday. I'll be on the boat, probably having a few beers. Blasting some country music. Blasting some country music. And I'll be wearing my Batman outfit. There you go. It's Batman Day.
Starting point is 00:20:50 God, I love me some Batman. Oh, yeah. Wish D.C. would stop making bad movies, but it's okay. I still love Batman. Yeah. It's kind of a little hokey. Do you celebrate National Cheeseburger Day on Sunday? I am going to do that.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I'm going to eat me. Eat me. I have a good grammar. There you go. Eat me some cheeseburgers. On Sunday, National Cheeseburger Day, which is also... I'm going to make my wife a nice cheeseburger. There you go.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Her wife appreciation day. Nicole, I mean, do we really need a day? As Nick said, you know, I appreciate you every day. So, like, you know, I mean... What a catch. What a catch. I was like wondering. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Every day is wife appreciation day. Every day. Every day is a holiday. As we have learned with this podcast at the very least. Yes. You know, it's funny, there's a guy at the lake's name's Ed. I don't think Ed listens to the podcast. I think that there's always an Ed in a lake at any given time. Oh, Ed, his saying, he walked down, first thing said, every day is a holiday.
Starting point is 00:21:55 He's like, but he's like, but it's because he's always positive, never negative. Be like Ed. Be like Ed. Every day a holiday. There you go. Speaking of that, I'm going to be dancing my ass off on Monday for National Dance Day. National Dance Day. I might have to have Nick.
Starting point is 00:22:09 what they do when they sub in for you. It's like a body double. Yeah, because you dance. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're a professional shagger. There you go. Mm-hmm. We got Talk Like a Pirate Day on the 19th, too.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Your favorite. I. I just said I was not going to do it. I had to. See? That's a job. Talk like a pirate day. You got a good,
Starting point is 00:22:33 R, Nick? Arr. Okay. Very nice. Give me some booty. That feels more on brand. More on brand. Which is great to roll right into National Singles Day on Thursday the 22nd.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yes. Yeah. Maybe it's singles like dollars. Yeah. No, single people. Single people. Yeah, single people. If you're single, next Thursday the 22nd, you need to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Buy yourself a drink. You know, if you celebrate too hard, you might not be single anymore. You know what I'm saying? There you go. Go out and not be single. Right. Singles. Just don't get Ruthie.
Starting point is 00:23:12 You know what singles do. Mingle. Mingle. Like Pringles. I'm done now. All right. Cool. Moving on to our social media news.
Starting point is 00:23:22 No. There it is. I always try to get it at least once per episode. I've been slacking. Anyway, Snapchat provides new voter registration and awareness tools ahead of U.S. midterms. Snap's latest efforts will seek to encourage more youngsters to register to share their vote while it's also launching a new Voting 101 Hub in the app, which will provide instructional videos on how to participate.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Kind of speaks back to reality being on your phone. That's how you got to go to where they are. They're not TV campaigns trying to get 18 year olds to go register to vote. Right. They're not going to see it. So you got to go where they are. So it's good. I mean, and look, people, I saw a thing related to this that said that like,
Starting point is 00:24:08 less than 30% of Americans when polled knew what the three branches of the government were. It's wild. Like, so it's like the vice president is. And they don't even know like the first amendment. Like it was like 30% or less knew like what the First Amendment rights were. Like people don't know what their rights are. Don't know what like, you know, just take it for granted. Like, oh, it's all going to be okay.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He has to be all okay until they come for your guns. And you know I'm talking about. Ah, there it is. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You've got their tickets.
Starting point is 00:24:45 To the gun show. To the think billions event. Yes. Tide back. But yeah, for real, it's good. You got to go where they are. Makes a lot of sense. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like, every time I've never been a snapper. You know, like, talking about being digitally native. I was on it in college and can't stand it and don't have it anymore. Yeah. I don't like it. It's not my thing.
Starting point is 00:25:04 There's still a lot of kids on it. Yeah. Still a lot of people on it. It shouldn't be that guy. Kids. Not that old. The youths. The youth.
Starting point is 00:25:11 But it makes sense. It's cool. Shall we usher the metaverse in? Yes. Give the button. Oh, yeah. Trends in the metaverse. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Back to Chipotle. Chipotle launches its garlic guahillo, guahillo steak in the metaverse. Chipotle has been aggressively experimenting with Web3 as we've talked about, launching virtual restaurants and Roblox last fall. And there is now a burrito builder. game in the spring in a crypto game in July. Users can visit the Chipotle Grill simulator on Roblox to learn cooking techniques
Starting point is 00:25:47 and product information from Chipotle's vice president of culinary. Speaking of just going to where people are, I get it. There you go. Like, I don't know. It made me hungry kind of reading the article. It looks really good. And it like tripped my brain up trying to say the word that you couldn't say. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I should have looked at up. I think it's Guahillo. Guahio. But, you know, I don't know. You know, it's good. But I mean, I want to eat. some stuff, you know, like, IRL in real life. I'd go get some steak, some steak from Chip.
Starting point is 00:26:16 No, it's fun. It makes sense. I just, here's what I want to see. I want to see the results from these campaigns. I know. From these things. We talk about, we've been talking about it for two years, NFT this, and say that.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And then I never see the follow up that says sales rose 40% on NFT. Right, because of the NFT. The NFT challenge to 13 year olds or whatever it is. Like, show me some data. Show me the data, folks, because I'm calling it into question because I still think it's PR. Yeah. And they can't track it. Well, and the next article is Starbucks is launching an NFT marketplace.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And I've not cared out NFTs at all until I saw this one because I am a basic white girl. But customers will have two paths to accumulating Starbucks. Go ahead, play a ding. Do what you need to do. Do the goat scream. But they can collect digital stamps by completing an in-app task quizzes or by limited edition tokens. As of this past Monday, Starbucks customers and employees can join a wait list to gain access to Starbucks Odyssey, which is the NFT marketplace, which will go live later this
Starting point is 00:27:20 year. Like, I'll, I'll get a Starbucks NFT. It's not going to cost me an arm and a leg. See, I'm not a Starbucks person. So like, this is like a double, this is like a double. I'm not in this genre. Like, number one, I don't go. I go to Starbucks purely because my 12 year old likes it. Sure. And I'll get like one of those, uh, they do. do they make pretty good breakfast sandwiches. Yes. Or those little egg things. The little sous vids.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Oh yeah, I can't even say that. Suviz. I'm glad you said it. Nicely done. I'd have to call it something else. The, but, so I'm not a big Starbucks person and,
Starting point is 00:27:54 you know, so thus I'm not going to go to their NFT store and, you know, so. Yeah. I don't know. Understood.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Fair enough. But I'm sure they'll sell the hell out of it. Because everybody, those are Starbucks. All I knows. You want to see the same people? You want to see the same people? You want to.
Starting point is 00:28:09 to know where people congregate, you go sit at Starbucks the same time every Friday at 8 a.m. Like my son and I did a little bit while McDonald's will still shut down. And you see the same exact people like coming in and out of that place. Creatures of habit. Like getting their drug. It's wild. I don't know what they're selling behind that. Crack cocaine, man.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Sweet, sweet crack cocaine. The sweet, sweet, sweet good. I think we got time for one more today. One more. You're going to talk about flavors take on TikTok with cooking videos and a shopping app. I think you're going to see a lot of this, these spinoffs from TikTok, that style of vertical video in a similar format, but niche down to specific individual topics or services. And this is it. I mean, flavors.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Because if you think about it, there's a lot of cooking. I think you've even talked about, like cooking stuff. So if you could just go to somewhere to just get the cooking stuff and link to your grocery store and buy it right there. I'm here for this. It seems pretty cool. I'm going to check it out. I want to look into it a little bit more and watch where this goes. But I think you're going to see these kind of neat.
Starting point is 00:29:08 spin-offs from the TikTok kind of look feel. And it makes sense. I think it has a chance to be really popular, especially with niche audiences, because you do kind of get in the vortex of TikTok if you do just want the cooking stuff. And I know you could do searches, and it will certainly be on your 4U page and all that. But you're going to get a whole lot of other bullshit, too.
Starting point is 00:29:32 And so it's like, this makes sense to me. These are like channels. Yeah, exactly. Flavor should be a channel. of TikTok. See there, TikTok wouldn't eventually buy them. This is how this all plays out. Stay tuned. We'll play that clip back in a year. Yeah. We'll see how it goes. When it happens. Cool. Good stuff. Tight 30 minutes. Indeed. Again.
