You know, sometimes just audio only. And my, you know, my best, you know, I look great for radio, they say. I got a face for radio. But nonetheless, Chris and Brianna bring the A game. I might take the average down, but I, uh, the dude think you go check it. We know the listeners. And maybe you'd like class it up a bit if you go finish that tattoo finally. I know.

Free hip, before we got started. I've got, you know, a sleeve going here and I've got like one segment left. So I got to go see my boy. And Ryan was stressing pre-show about. Well, I don't, it's in a spot now where I don't see it every time. So it's like, but I lift my arm around. Oh, shit. Got that one little block.

That's like two hours in the chair. That's it. And we'll get it done. So my boy is in California most of the time. So he only comes back. So I have to always time it. So it's always a scheduling thing. So we'll see.

You could always fly out. We have great tattoo artists in California. Yes. Am I going to California? And I don't know if I want to get a tat while I'm in California. I just want to do something more fun. You know, it's not. It's not.

I like the end result. But let's be honest. sitting in a chair getting your arm sitting cut up is not really yeah i got my california poppy that was my last one yes jody mr inkwells go check him out on instagram incredible artist who happens to be a tattoo guy uh anyway how's everyone today what's up chris how's how's old miami back in back in the saddle down there we're good we're a little wet a little wet this week it's uh not not exactly winter weather little human. It's all good.

What's the climate? And I don't, and I mean more, not temperature, but Miami, the week of Christmas. Like, what's the scene in Miami the week of Christmas? I mean, it's very festive. Okay. Yeah. I guess it's just, I always, even in Greenville, we're cold here right now. You know, it's in the 30s at night. It's a lot.

So, Cubans and Colombians and, you know, you got a little, at least Navidad. It's a good, it's a good vibe. There's a lot going on, very festive. What's the temp today? Today we're probably like 77 right now. Nice. But a little human, not much of the breeze. It's a beautiful day here.

On the beach in three weeks with the vacay. So, you know, I can't say too much in case my kids listen to this. Supposedly they don't. My wife doesn't really let them. Is it a secret? Is it a secret? Yeah, it's a secret.

They don't know when or where. Oh, cool. If one of you is listening, do not tell your other siblings. But, yeah, we give them a gift trip every year. Oh, cool. It's all about experiences, right? Yeah. Yeah.

We got more shit than they know where to do it. So it's like, let's go somewhere. Yep. So we'll be beaching it. Can't say the destination. Let's just say it's tropical-ish. And I'll be having a Mai Tai and, you know, a beer. Maybe all at once.

with a miss offered. There you go. I'm ready for next year to go on vacation. We don't have any money this year because we bought a house. Yeah, that'll do it to you. That will do it to you. But hey, that's the America dream. You bought a house number two.

Yep. Yep. There you go. There you go. Living it. What do we got going on today? So today we are going to talk about the naughty and nice businesses in the United States. We're going to mostly focus there. But who was naughty this year?

was nice, who thrived, who made money, who was successful, and who is on Santa's naughty list. Yeah. So pre-rexit to this or, you know, just the cheat sheet, you know, we just kind of make it up as we go here, like the rules that we want. So we're classifying naughty and nice as sort of either they just did something really obviously stupid or maybe a bad year economically. And the nice list is more, okay, on the up and up. Things have gone well. It's less, I don't know, judgment. Like, I mean, we could, look, this is an opinion show. You know, take it, take it or leave it. But I think it's more like, okay, who's been successful?

You don't have to like them. But has it been a good year for them. I have somebody on the naughty list. And I might have to, they've been, they've had a successful year. Okay. Well, we could still, hey, we can, I like to smack people down and then prop them up. Yeah. You know?

It's like, you know. Yeah, give it to you. Those people say, hey, be nice, give them the good news first. No, I like to, you got to push them down to bring them up. I had to tracks. See, you know, you got to. That's how it goes. All right.

Ryan, you want to start off us off with nice business or entrepreneur number one? Sure. I mean, here's a, I'm going to go out with the most obvious first. So nice being in this. in this sort of position would be it's been a good year for them. And I'm just going to start with Trump. So Trump, Inc. As a whole, in every business unit, I can't speak to the financials.

But let's just say, if you are in the halo of the Trump circle, it's been a nice year for you. You've won the presidency. We're about to get the economy back in order. you're seeing signs of that already, but all the sort of atmosphere of Trump incorporated, I would say it's been a nice year for them. And, you know, I happen to support most of that side. So I'm okay, you know, with my opinion being both nice and good for business overall. So I think it's hard to deny, again, I like, I'm a big sentiment guy.

like the sentiment, the aura, all the sort of she around an entity. And right now it's at a very high level with all things sort of in Trump's camp. And that doesn't mean everyone likes the guy. Obviously, the guy would have won like 80 to 20% if that were true. He, you know, the numbers were closer than they should have been purely because people voted for I hate Trump versus, you know, I want what's good for the economy. So I think that would be first and most obvious for me on sort of the, it's a nice year for them. It is interesting.

Despite some legal setbacks this year, Trump's overall net worth increased substantially. So it looks like his golf courses and resorts did about 400 million in annual sales this year. and his technology company, truth, social, went public that increased his net worth. It says that contributed to an estimated net worth of $6.5 billion, placing him among the world's 500 richest individuals. Thoughts, Chris? Sorry, I was mic. I'm fighting a cold over here, everybody.

I don't want to cough into the speakers. Yeah, this makes sense. Like you said, the aura, the vibe, there's momentum. There's momentum behind it. And I think in business, specifically, when you have momentum, that snowball starts rolling. It's almost like it's compounding. But, yeah, I would agree. I think anything Trump-related right now and will continue to probably-

He won't person of the year with time, which I think was a pretty interesting thing. And let me give you some action items from this. Okay. So what does this mean? Okay. What are things in the aura around Trump that Trump? Trump. Trip.

Trim. Word salad. Around Trump that you should take advantage of. How should you take action on this knowledge? Well, let me start with one. Crypto. Crypto, I wouldn't. I don't know if the whole year would go into the nice camp, but the signals and signs

heading into 2025. You have regulation sort of softening. for lack of a better word. And acceptance. You have all the major players, you know, the mass adoption. Yeah, mass adoption. And Trump supporting it and all his people that he's going to be putting in the higher positions around finance and all the stuff supporting it.

So go hard on crypto. It's not going to go to zero. And you're going to have ups and downs. But this is a legitimate. And I think this. this is a time period where I think, and I think there was the gold rush of Florida years ago where you could make some money myself.

I made some money, you know, but I kind of got in and got out, knew it was temporary, especially once the travesty that happened, happened. And, but now I think you're going to look back it like this, this is the beginning of the big rush of the next, like, what, 10, 20 years?

You know, like forever. I don't know. One of the newest wealth generational wealth building tools. Yeah. And so I don't think you're going to, in what I've seen, I've been in, I've been very vocal about this, been in a few grand here and there and up about, I don't know, 25, 30 percent in the last like six weeks. I don't think you're going to see the 4,000 percent overnight stuff that you saw four or five years ago. I mean, you might. I'm not saying you won't ever.

You got to find that stuff. it's more that I think you're going to see this 20 to 30 different coins that are a dollar, 50 cents, $2, whatever, but have a real stable that 20 years from now are $200. And the compounding effect of reinvestment in all of that can make is, I think, going to outpace typical stocks. all the signs point that to me and so that's something if I would be thinking about

is within this halo of sort of Trump incorporated and the things around it that will go up there's your nice tip and whatever I know that was a long one but I think that was needed

more explanation I think it's great because we have several other things on the nice list including crypto Navidia and our favorite entrepreneur Elon Musk Yeah. I mean.

A big crypto guy. Biggie. Let me say this. We all know he's a smart guy. I think he's smarter than we even know he is. The way he put his eggs in the Trump basket was brilliant. Now, I think he believed, I really do. I really do believe he believes in the policies and approach.

And like a lot of stuff, CEOs, the day that Trump took that bullet and he stood up, I think it changed a lot of people's minds, including Elon's. He said, this guy's not just for show. He really means it really cares for this country. He's not a perfect man. He's very flawed man. But I think Elon is smarter than we realize because he's helped push that and he's riding

that train. And his companies are doing well and he's super brilliant. And SpaceX can't be denied. But I think he's even smarter. you realize because the last thing, if you told someone three years ago that Elon was going to do what he ended up doing with Trump, would anybody have believed that? No. But you know what it means? It means Elon's smart enough to change.

Your intelligence is only limited in the amount that you can or can't change. And even Elon must change, one of the smartest men in the world. Yeah, I definitely agree with that. So he's a big winner and now, like, I think the richest man in the world right now, I mean 50 billion or something, 500 billion. It's like, can you comprehend that? Can we get that? I need that on a number board somewhere. I'll go all the zeros. It's a lot. So, so. $454.5 billion U.S. dollars. Almost double what Jeff Bezos is worth. And quadruple. what Bill Gates is worth. This should have been the It Must Be Nice list.

You know. Yeah. You know. Let's turn to one that is doing something nice for our American dream kind of segment of audience. So the American dream, we all, you know, believe in it. We all think that it's definitely something that's achievable going into 2025. But Walmart and what they are doing to bring healthy. alternatives and breaking into the healthy food market and making groceries more affordable

for Americans, they are on our nice list. Yeah. I'll tell you this, I went to a Walmart store a couple weeks ago. And other than hating the checkout process, the rest of the store, I was like, you know, surprised that even, I, look, you know the last time I walked through like the closed department at a Walmart and like it remotely was like, hey, that's pretty, that's a nice shit. Walmart is doing it. I'm talking my kids close.

You know, it's like I felt like they took the best to target and now they're slapping them in the face with what they did good and what they've always done, which is low prices. Low prices combined with a little bit of style and some random shit that you didn't need, but you end up buying whatever playbook that is, discoverability on the aisles. I was like, all right. Now, if you could just get out this, this. checkout line shit figured out. I might come here more often, but.

Yeah. I'll have to take a little trip. The only thing I've ever bought at Walmart clothing was like real tree camo and like mossy oak. Well, let me tell you, let me give you another insight here of where they're kicking everybody's ass. Amazon does not have same day delivery in Greenville, South Carolina. However, Walmart, I can get shit to my house. If I'm doing a project or whatever. and I like to do random shit

and I like it when I need it. Like I've been doing like I'm turning in my dad I'm doing all these little projects and like I run out of spray paint or I run out of like some screws or something I get on Walmart.com that shit is it in my house in 45 minutes.

This man if you guys You don't want to take the e-bike down there and just pick that If you want to impress Ryan you have to have your delivery services figured out. He is the only person that I know who gets to what did you have delivered

one day a gas can't he got a gas? can delivered to the office. I don't even remember why. I mean, it wasn't out again. Just because you could. Yeah. It was hurricane prep.

I am the world's worst of, I got to have it when I got to have it. I mean, this isn't like $5,000, oh, I got to have a $5,000 watch or something right now. No, this is like, you know. Listen, I'm on your family Instacart order.

So I see those five below. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Decorating a room. You never know what's going on. That's so funny. Yes. So home deep.

But here's where I was going with that. Walmart is even kicking Amazon's ass and delivery because everyday items and some things that I would have normally ordered from Amazon for their supposed two day. That's not always two days anymore. We know I'm getting within an hour from Walmart and with my, you know, Walmart thing, Express delivery, discount. Not much difference in cost. for same day, same hour delivery. Well, I will tell you that Amazon is on our nice list and they are, they just got approval to break ground on a new distribution center coming to our area. So I'm hoping it's going two exits down from my house.

So, you know, I'm going to get that same day delivery. Well, we'll see. We'll have to beat out one. They're both on the nice list this year. Yeah. All right. Is that it on the nice list? I did put Taylor Swift on the nice list and on the naughty list.

But she's on the nice list because we can't deny her heiress tour. She didn't make a lot of money. Made her a lot of money this year. Can't. Don't hate the player. Hate the game. She also, I will say, she gave significant bonuses. I read online to the people that worked for her on her eras tour.

So that's. It's too bad that her endorsement didn't work out or help more. True. Sorry. had to go there. That's why she's on the naughty list. Yeah, I know. Hey, at least, I mean, to be such a winner, she was such a loser.

I don't like Taylor Swift, but. I mean, look, she's fucking Taylor Swift. I mean, she doesn't get shit what I say. The woman's making, like, she's raking in money. You know, we're raking leaves here. She's raking money. She's royalty. Yeah, she is.

So I'll get some swiftly hate. I know that. But I'm just saying, you know. Like, just at least get you, you know. My lips are sealed. Get your policies right. My husband loves Taylor Swift, so it's a point of contention. Like he likes her music or he likes her personally?

Well, okay, like in high school. In high school, he would like listen to her music in his truck. And it was when, you know, her music was good. I mean, she's got catchy music. I don't, it's not my thing, but I can respect the fact that it's catchy music. I've let it ride on the radio before for sure. Yeah. Truth's coming out.

I'm not seeking it out on my playlist, but. Yeah. You know, it was it. Brush it off. What is it? I don't hate it. Shake it off. Shake it off. Yeah. Yeah. I like shake it off. I'm not immune to a catchy tune. I'm new to that. I like good tunes, but I can, I can separate. Some people get so on the thing. I might hate your politics and still like your music. Yeah. 100%. She still makes hits. Yeah. I respect that. All right. Noddy list. Brian, who's on your naughty list this year? Oh, hmm. Anyone that endorsed Kamala. Any business. You know, even Bezos was smart enough to not let the Washington Post get egg in their face.

You know, it's like you didn't let them endorse them because he didn't want to be a loser. Yep. So, you know, I mean, insert lists here. And I think we forget quickly because the news cycle, I'm bad about this. I mean, our show's news in like one week we talked about one thing. Yeah, there are very few things carry forward. in the news cycle. But I'm not forgetting what Bud Light did.

You know, I come on, man. You know, with those cans. And it's less that I am getting on the stool of judging them for the actual action. As a marketer, as a brand guy, I'm getting on it from the, how the hell do you not know who your audience is? Like, what the hell are you doing? Like to not know who your customers are and how many people you're pissing off to do something that you thought was making a stand on something that most people don't even fucking agree with. It's like, come on.

Send them all the way the bottom of the naughty list. Cole. They're getting coal. Yeah. You go to the land of misfit toys with no pass out. Speaking of toys, Mattel on the naughty list for that porn site on their packaging. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one.

Yeah. Definitely on there. You're down there. That's just... Yeah. The stupid list, naughty list, whatever. Come on. Toyota on the naughty list.

Yeah, this is sort of... They've done a good job of, like, trying to make this fly under the radar. Chris, do you want to talk about this one? Apparently they lied and faked some safety tests that they claim they passed on seven of their vehicle models, which I think is rather important considering Toyota. was driven by probably like one and four Americans.

They did a test on Roblox and they thought that was good enough. They got it in the Metaverse. Your son were participating. Like my son who's seven at the time was participating. And they were like, that's good enough, right? If it doesn't explode in the Metaverse, it'd be fine on the roads. Yeah. I mean, give me a break.

No. Just as bad as Boeing. Boeing lost $350 million in quarter one of 2024. definitely on the naughty list. 350 mill. That's an I-O-U. That's one I'm holding to that one. I mean, it's bad.

My parents flew in this last weekend from California, and my stepdad was like, oh, we're taking one of those dangerous Boeing planes home. And I was like, oh, God. Yeah. So I put it, that's why I don't listen to me about it on there. I put on my AirPods. I put that shit on noise can't say my dad.

My stepdad was, like, looking up what the plane was that they were riding on. I'm like, I don't want to know. Yeah. I mainly, I mean, mainly just not hear my wife and kids, but it works for the whole way. I'm kidding, Nicole, namely just the kids. Perry A, sparkling water, fancy sparkling water. They are on the naughty list for some contamination concerns. I mean, if you've tasted that stuff, it's contaminated all the time.

Like, come on. I mean, you know, it's always. And it reminds me of a song that I listen to it. I'm working out. Banks contaminated. that's like a jam. Let me just tell you, go listen to that. To listen to it.

Nice plug. Banks is underrated. So go listen to her. I like Banks. Yeah. Yeah. So definitely underrated. But I think,

anything on your naughty list, Chris, that we haven't named? I mean, the one I mentioned that's on the list that just bright out to me is just did he, did he and his bad boy. Oh, yes. Bad Boy Entertainment. Oh, God. Yeah. Is it Bad Boy Entertainment?

Yeah. Bad Boy Records. Bad Boy Entertainment. What was your favorite Diddy song of all time? Puff Daddy. I still call him Puff Daddy, you know? I mean, I feel like he just, like, featured a bunch of songs. There's, like, yelling in them, you know?

If he somehow gets out of this, I think he should go back to Puff Daddy. I think Diddy's done. You know, like, I think he's probably going to sit in prison the rest of his life. But if somehow. he gets out of it. I think he should go back to Puff Daddy. He definitely needs a PR team. I mean, how many, well, how many jars of baby oil was it? Like 9,000 cases in his house.

Hey, stock up baby oil. Stock down, Puff Daddy. How was the Johnson and Johnson's make on all that? Who knows? What if it helped their sales or hurt them? The halo around him, man, I don't know how it gets anywhere. worse. It's like every week you hear somebody, like it's Jay-Z, something. And I don't, and I'm not following every detail of those stories. It's just like it's like to gossipy. Like I love some, some gossip that's in my realm is fine. That's just sort of on the far edge of my attention span. And, but it does seem like every week. There's like whoever, such and such actor who was tied to Diddy, you know, because who was, who's the guy that, uh, one of the other actors that was. It was. majorly tied to him. I can't remember what his name is.

That's popular as he used to be. It doesn't make for good audio to bring people up that we don't know the name of. But insert, old famous actor that used to be hanging around ditty parties. Because that's what it is. Every week it's like, used to attend the ditty parties.

Oh, like Leo DiCaprio. Yeah, he was one of them, but it's like, another one, too. Yeah. But I bring that puff daddy. bring the back puff daddy if you make it through this but if if everything's true then he needs he needs to go away he's cooked it it seems doesn't it just seem like it's it's uh past the point of return you can only keep stuff in the dark for so long and uh it sounds like now you have

more more victims coming out more people kind of you know sharing their experiences so I wonder what like an autograph poster of Diddy was worth like two years ago versus now. Is it going up or going down? You know, sometimes it's weird shit like with bad stuff happens. Yeah, like serial killers. Yeah. It's like. I think his is going to go down.

Yeah. I think so. Do you, uh, as we close out today, Chris, is, uh, what do you think of this drone shit going on, man? You, you're the conspiracy theory guy. Kind of. So, but I don't know, man. Putting the conspiracy theories to the side, what's, what does Chris's gut tell them? I mean, I would want to assume it's like our government, you know, doing some military testing.

Everyone's saying aliens and all this stuff. I don't know, man. I assume it's military. I assume it's government. Yeah. You know, there's a theory that it's, you know, they're protecting us from. Are looking for radiation or things. or radiation or whatever.

Right. Yeah, which. Sawyer usually gets it to sit like this. Sorry, you have an opinion on this? I don't know what I think about this. All right. He's going to pass on this. I just,

it's getting too much to ignore as a story. You know, even as a business show, like, it's just, it's kind of owning the headlines the last week. And so it's too big to sort of ignore. It's just bothersome that, normally the government would at least acknowledge something. And like Trump came out and said, oh, the government knows what it is.

They know, you know, they seem to tell us at least high level what it is and this would go away. But they're denying that they know what it is at all. And I don't know if that's a good thing or about it. I mean, I don't think that necessarily. It may be trust in safety with the American people. I mean, yeah. And look, let's be honest. I mean, the outgoing administration, how much trust, if there's a trust meter.

It's right on par with that. We're at zero or negative already. You know, we pardoned our son that we said we never would. And look, I'm okay with pardoning him's son, but just admit it that you, why didn't you just admit that you were going to four months ago or just say, no comment. But to fall on your cross to say, or your sword, whatever, like, that you were going to not do it. And so then all this to say, the credibility and trust factor on drones or anything else is just like, what are you talking about?

And in today's technology with satellites and reconnaissance and all the stuff and technology that we do have, it gets me a little worried if we really don't know what this is. That shit can fly in our airspace at the volume that this seems to be happening. and if I'm a criminal or something, like I'd be emboldened by this, right? Like, if you can get away with it, if it's true, I think it's just somebody needs to put it to bed, like with what it is or is it.

Shoot one of these fucking things down and, like, let's find out. Chris, let's go tackle that thing, man. I may a r just need some action. I saw videos of people. people shooting at them. I'm surprised no one's taking one down yet. Yeah, you would think so. And I mean, they say it's a leap, you know, I'm sort of kidding a little bit. It's illegal

to shoot a drone, supposedly. But if there's ever been a case, I mean, wouldn't you be a hero for all time if you got one of those things down? I can figure it out the mystery. And there was like a USSR like on the side of it. Or something like a Russian logo
