It's Friday, November 24th. The day after Thanksgiving of 2023, our weekly, business marketing news and stories of the week. I'm joined by my friend, Mike Mis Abe. Chris Hanson. Hello. Happy Friday.

Vacay lounging or lodging. Vandke lounging. Either one. Either one. It looks pretty nice. Lounge. Nice. What's Miami temperature today here on November 24th?

Probably like breezy, high 70. these lower 80s. Oh, lovely. Nice. Lovely. It's a little brisk here in the Carolinas. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I have a little lighter edition here today.

We've got some business topics. We're thankful for everyone that's listening, first and foremost. So thank you for tuning in to your number one business and marketing show on Apple Podcasts. And I hope everyone over eight or under eight, whatever your goals were for Thanksgiving. I hope they were achieved. Are you a turkey and dressing guy, Chris? Yeah, I want the turkey, the cranberry stuffing. Yeah, you're all in.

All the fixings. Mix them all together. I'm on a sandwich and I'm happy. Yeah. Are you? The fictions. Oh, fictions. Remember that?

Where's that corn soup fly? Oh, yeah. With the messed up hand. Yeah. Can they get away with that now? Definitely not. That would be canceled now. Cancel culture.

That was one of the best scenes that movie. It was like stuffing the turkey or something. What are you stuffing? Oh, you watch that. You get a scary movie. Go watch it. It's fun. That's a good.

Your own, the holidays. The holiday movie. Put it on with the family. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we went to Nicole's. parents as we always do and I'm sure we had a good time.

In full disclosure, we record this right before Thanksgiving's, but we'll give away all our sick. We're all about transparency here. We wouldn't have anybody working on the ball on the holidays. I don't want that post Thanksgiving trip to fan coma. Yeah, exactly. It's been real lazy. I end up having my moms, my wife's moms, and then my dad's like we get it in.

Three turkey dinners over five days. And then... You're on the circuit. Yeah. Then I like to cook like a big prime. I'm going to cook a prime rib like Saturday night. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

The grain. Yeah. They have a good... They have all that turkey. I need some steak. Steak and maybe a little honey big tam. Oh, we'll have already had that. That's definitely on the Thanksgiving list at my wife's parents.

But it's a lighter edition. It's Thanksgiving. If you're listening the day after, Maybe you're on the treadmill trying to work it off. Maybe you're driving to work on Monday after the holiday. You never know when you might be listening to this, give it to the holiday. We're not going to get too serious. But we did want to bring up, even if it's post- Thanksgiving,

some of this comes to us from eF.com. Top 10 Thanksgiving traditions in the U.S. Some of these I could get down with. And some of them I was like, really one of the top ones. Let's see where this falls for you, Chris. The first one on the list, these are not an order of, like, popularity necessarily, but this seems to be like some of the big things everybody does.

Number one of the less is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Are you a parade watcher? Always. Yeah. Every year, parades on, then the dog show. I forget the name of it, the really big dog show. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. But now my brother-in-law is, they're there in the pig. sure it's pretty quickly going straight to the NFL games because those boys are on ESPN bets. I watch a little bit of the parade. Yeah, watch a little bit of the parade. Kids enjoy it. I'm like, yeah, there's a nutcracker.

Oh, here comes the nuts. That was a line from Christmas vacation. They're talking about. They're watching the, make you stay parade. Tug in the background. Yeah. Next on list, break the wishbone for good luck. I know what this is.

heard of it. I can't say I do this on Thanksgiving. Yeah. But is that far? Is that you? I've done it like once in my life and it wasn't on Thanksgiving. Yeah. I think.

I think we did. I remember one time I was like, oh, look. Yeah, if you end up with a bigger piece, you're supposedly your wish, you can have a wish. And if you know, with the bigger piece of the wish, but when it breaks, when you're pulling it against someone else, you get the wish. Yeah. I wish we never do this again. Eat a, I'll never pull from the wishbone again. The, eat a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Okay. Duh. What Thanksgiving day would be complete without that? I don't care if you're single on at home, at least get out in one of the many places now. You can go eat one of those things. You got to get your little meal. Oh, yeah.

Every restaurant's got a Thanksgiving dinner menu, I feel like for the most part now. In today's episode is not brought to you by this company, but I'm going to give them a free pub because this place I do it. Guess he was open on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day. Dave and Busters. Dave and Busters.

Okay, that shocked me. I was going to say Ruth Chris. Yeah, no. Dave and Busters is open on Thanksgiving Day. I got, look, I am on legend status. The Alford's venture there quite a bit. And gold card and all. I'm surprised they haven't given you like a free cruise or something at this point.

They owe me. You could have been on 10 cruises a year for the amount you go there and what you're going to stay and get to the kids on. seven ball bouncy balls. 20 of them in your house. You can be on a five-day cruise with your four boys, I bet you. It's like ADD paradise for me. And then the kids love it, of course.

But yeah, I got their secret newsletter. And Dave and Busters is open. So you're a little too late. But next year, if you know, that's a little entire tip. Dave and Busters. Because look,

here's what happens. Sometimes you want to watch football game, but you can get bored because there's nothing to do, nowhere to go. It's a little entire tip. Always. Go hit Dave and Buster. Busters or watch those football games at David Busters and game it up a little bit.

Get you some ski ball in. Get you some whatever you got to get in. From the in-laws. Exactly. Get out of the house. Go shoot some hoops. Next on the list. Take a nap.

It's one of the top 10 Thanksgiving traditions in the U.S. Taking a nap. Take that nap. You got to get out there and do something. It says no Thanksgiving day. I got a question. What's that? Do you guys do you guys earlier in the day or in the evening?

We eat 2 o'clock. Oh, man. See, I want that. We do it at night and I'm like, I can't even nap. I just want to go to bed. Oh, no, no. You got to have it worst, three or four latest. You could have mid-afternoon, but then, but you get, you got to do that one or two o'clock.

That's the window right there. It says afternoon. Afternoon, Phil was cooking and eating delicious food, mini-retreat to the couch. for a midday nap. Turkey is well known for the culprit of the sudden onset of sleepiness with its high levels of the amino acid triptophan. Hey, we have triptophan. Also found in the vacay sleep gummy.

It's a purposeful plug there. Every day it's a vacay. Go to take a vacay, V-A-C-A-Y-C-A-com if you want a real sleep gummy. That adds a lot more than just triptophan. Take one of those with the turkey. And you'll be like golden. Yeah, dude. Holiday snooze.

Yes. Called Unwind. One of our highest reviewed products. Go to take a look at that. Here's what's next on the top 10. Let's share what you're most thankful for. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to reflect on the year alongside family and friends. It's wonderful to hear everyone talk about their favorite moments and experiences for the previous year.

I know this sounds like cliche, like what it's supposed to be. I can't help but think, but a lot of families, it's just them bitching about like stuff. Isn't it? Like politics and like the family get together. Did you see what happened with? Oh, yeah. I have a hard time. Conspiracy theories, politics.

Yeah. I have a hard time. And Betty's really going. I'm just so thankful for all the things the president did for us this year or whatever. Yeah. I usually experience the initial thought, a lot of drama. Here's another one. Watch an American football game and get behind this one.

This is true. Usually because there's nothing else to do. And it's on. And look, I'd watch it, but most people that don't even watch football are watching football on Thanksgiving. What is the Detroit Lions and get out of his Cowboys play every year? Football is the most popular sport to watch in the U.S. And Thanksgiving Day is no exception.

Next on the list This, I don't, again, duplication here on this top 10 list. We didn't make it. We're just reading it. Be grateful for Friendsgiving. Okay. Because most people celebrate Thanksgiving.

Yeah. Friends gathering together, aptly called Friends Giving is a newer tradition. It's time to share a meal and enjoy each other's company. Okay. So that's one of the, it is turning into a tradition. I see a lot of girls doing it, especially. I always post about it.

Oh, yeah. It's just another excuse to get drunk and talk shit about their husband. So let's be honest. Yeah, yeah. Should be. It's another reason to party. Yeah, it should be drunk's giving. Yeah, it should be.

Shop to you drop on Black Friday. That's a Thanksgiving tradition. So America, consumerism. Yes. Really? Shopping to you drop on. Are you, I was the last time? you went out on Black Friday to beat the sale.

Have you ever? Never. Yeah, I mean, I did once. The internet. Yeah, like when I was 10. All of a camping outside. Drug me somewhere and I'm like, I'm never doing this again. And then I have not,

I have just, even 10 years ago. If I want to go get in a, like, do you want to get trampled in a fist fight? Because that's all I see happening on the internet on Black Friday sales. Yeah. Riots. I could do that at a bar late night. I really want.

I don't need it to, uh, to get a Black Friday shopping for that. I don't even get a drink if I get a Black Friday. You're just, you're sober and fighting people. Man. Dude. No thanks.

I'll sign up for two-day shipping on Prime. I'd tell you what, if they put cocktails in the line, like where you're waiting. Okay. That'd be a good way to attract people. It'd be a huge party. It'd be awesome.

Can people spend more money? Yeah, they might be nice. As long as you don't give them to me drinks, they'd be nicer to one another. Go, I'm sorry, man. You know. Two drink.

Limit to tickets. Yeah. Lastly, giving back. This is the final, the top 10. In the spirit of giving thanks and helping others, many communities across the U.S., hold food drives and collect non-perishables so that everyone has a place to enjoy a warm meal. I think that they're doing this.

I was just thinking there was more going to be like more, I don't know, certain menu items. Right. Aunt Karen. talking about something she shouldn't uncomfortable friend family conversations has to be on this list right yeah let's be honestly yeah you're one crazy uncle blacking out causing a scene yeah there's your top 10 thanksgiving traditions in the u.s hopefully you're nodding along to some of them nodding along by saying yes or nodding along by falling asleep but because it's the next day after Thanksgiving potentially when you're listening to this or nodding along because you're having a little naughty toddy.

There's a lot of too. A lot of daddy. This article is from blackfriday.com. He says Black Friday is a major shopping day in the U.S. occurring. A lot of people are shopping right now. So this is aired while we're talking right now. You might be listening in the car, racing from store to store. You might be in Macy's with your air.

in listening to this right now. That's right. You should be. Black Friday is a major shopping day in the U.S. occurring on the Friday after Thanksgiving, with many people having the day off, except those in retail. It marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, known for discounts and deals that started earlier and earlier.

The term Black Friday originated in Philadelphia in the 60s, due to congested street lines during post- Thanksgiving shopping, Black refers to stores moving from loss red to profit black in accounting records. It became popular as retailers realized they could draw crowds with discounts. Who knew? Online Black Friday. Sales are also significant and mobile shopping is on the rise, you think? Top products during the Black Friday include toys, electronics, books, jewelry, appliances, and sporting goods.

I think we covered a lot of that. Everything's popular. It's on sale. I feel like everyone's on history. Anything is running Black Friday. That's interesting. I had no idea if that was the... And it seems to be...

It starts there earlier every year. We're starting to like water down a little bit as far as I think the moment. We got Cyber Monday now, right? Yeah. I've been getting sale messages from... For the last two weeks from businesses. Yes. 40% off.

I mentioned this last week. I got a deal on TV. I'm like, it's not going to go any lower than that. And sure enough, I've looked at some of the deals and there hasn't gone any lower than that. So it's okay. That's fine. As long as they get the sale this month, I don't, spreading it out. Let's be honest, with all these channels, you don't want all those orders on the same day.

How to fulfill that shit? Is it possible? So spread it out. Give yourself the ability to actually deliver on the experience. Yeah. So I think it helps with that. And if you want to learn from me directly, join my newsletter. Ryanoffer.com backslash newsletter.

There's a lot of stuff on here. Do you, are you still at the point, Chris? I know you're, you've done pretty well. and you're well out of the household and all that. But with your parents or your mom, do you have to send her a list? Do you send your parents a list of things you want? Or does it just?

No, and I will say everyone, my sisters and my parents, everyone will reach out and ask, are you looking for anything? But no, I don't send a list. And even when people ask me, I never, I'm like, I don't know. Nothing. Give me some gym shorts. I'm 46 years old.

And to this day, my mom. and my mother-in-law, actually. Nicole's mom and my mom have some similar traits. A lot of different traits, but some someone want to do. They both send me, we need your list. And I'm like, yeah. And look, in my wife, there's this, like, no one can really buy me anything because I buy whatever I want, like, the moment I see it, don't be wrong. I'm not buying a million dollar items every day or something or, oh, every single watch that's 50 grand.

I don't buy it. It's not that excessive. But if you want a pair of jeans, I buy them. If it's an accessory or something, okay, and I need it. Okay, I'm buying it. And I don't know. And it's not because I don't appreciate Gist, but I'm like, really, don't get me anything. That's why I have him give me stuff.

It's like boring, like socks, like stuff that I'm like, I can buy it, but you can just go ahead and knock that one out. I've gotten to wear when you're a kid. This one, you're getting old. It's come full circle. Like, I'd rather them give me things. like a food, like my favorite food. Like something that I can't make or go buy

or wouldn't think to do myself. Something. Like an experience. Yeah, an experience or like my favorite food or like a snack or something. Yeah. That or it becomes real practical. I buy me some socks. Yeah. That seems to fall.

This is one that I forget until it's like, it's time for some socks. Like, okay. You know what I asked for actually last year? It was a mic. and a boom because you sent me which one to get. Yeah. And that was,

and I remember that I literally sent my mom the link on Amazon. I'm like, you can give me this. That'll do you. Yeah. That's a great thing about Amazon now. You just send the link. Then everybody's got the Amazon account.

Easy. When you can make a list on Amazon and send the whole list to somebody if you wanted to, I think. Yeah. Your own holiday list. Nash has a seven page list. like my son Nash. Damn boy.

How old is he eight? Yeah. His love individualized, very specific. Hey. Props. Yeah. Boy knows what he wants. I respect a man who can make a decision.

He's got that thing. Daddy. Check that list. He don't need a check. Page one, page two will be what I'll have clothing line. Yes. He's got it all detailed.

He's got every link where to buy. Yeah, he's got diagrams drawn up. Go to page three and you'll see that I want the Pokemon. Is it an expensive list or is it a lot of little items? It's carefully collated, curated around not being true to reward. Like it's not all $1,000 items or something like that. It's very specific Pokemon things that he wants. Strategic.

Yeah, a book, this book. this piece of Legos, like all this kind of stuff. And get some gaming stuff. They want some Oculus things. They've been playing that shit. And I was like that as a kid. It was way easier to be like, oh, I want this N64 game or this specific toy. So Clemson and South Carolina, if you live in our neck of the woods, play this football.

That's the robbery in this area. and they are playing this weekend tomorrow. If you're listening on Friday, if you're not, we've, we've, we've, we've passed it. The former President Trump is going to be at the Clemson, South Carolina game. That that was interesting. I'm not sure what drew him there other than Henry McMaster, who's a Republican governor. That'll go viral. Yeah.

He's going to be there. You're going to see a lot of videos in that stadium going. I'm going to have to send him like some orange or something. He needs to be wearing some orange. Didn't he make an appearance? He made an appearance some other NCAA game. I think last year, man, I remember going viral because people were going nuts. Yeah.

And I don't know why I think he was Clemson again. I think it was an Alabama game. I think you're right. Yeah. He was Bama and Auburn. But he'll be there. And as long as he's pulling for Clemson, I'm cool. I don't know if that's feel like he needs to pull for South Carolina.

It's like a rep like the state. A boo. Whatever. So I thought that was interesting. Into some marketing news. This was fun. Snoop Dog is quitting smoking. It was actually all the campaign for Solo Stowe.

Quitting the smoke. No more smoke. Solo Stove has appointed Snoop Dog as its official smokesman. That's what you did there. I like that. After his social. media tease about giving up smoking turned out to be a partnership announcement. He'll work with Solo's stove on product innovation and a signature product line.

The collaboration marks Solo Stowe's first major national marketing campaign and includes various advertising elements. So I was looking at this. Sorry our producer was showing me this stove. Like it does it put smoke, no smoke with the fire. It's like a little fire pit. I didn't know that. That's cool.

I didn't know you could do that. Yeah. I wonder if they're using like chemicals or something like to suck it in or if it's just the Is it a portable stove or you put this like in your yard? I think it's like a kid they have both options, don't they? I think you can move it around. Sorry, you can jump on there and tell us. That's portable.

Portable? It is. Like a camping. Portable. Yeah, camping. Why do I throw it around your backyard? Why do I care? I'm camping and there's smoke coming out.

Hey, you don't want to look. How about you? Have you ever been to you haven't been You haven't dealt with the smoky Like you're hanging out at the campfire And that shit won't leave you alone Oh yeah I've dealt with that It's miserable

It's miserable Smoke less Snoop Dog I'm just going to tell you This is one of the smarter, brighter campaigns that I've seen in a while Because I probably have probably Five other people That's me

Did she Snoop Dog's not smoking him? I'm like that's cool All good things come to an end Or whatever you want to look at it or all bad things Which are way you want to look at that And then it's all a ploy Get everybody talking

And now I get the punchline Oh it's sort of a lot of conversations But this is a create look Are they putting in cannabis We're always about value here Chris Value actual insights No Instead of just hiring

Here's what they could have done It would have been way less interesting And impactful He could have come out and done all this in one fell swoop that the whole gag was done within one post or whatever. Oh, I'm smoking one, but then he's tied to the partnership. But giving it like a week to play out before giving it away, that's creative. That's how you, that's how you create movement in the market.

Yeah. And it's just a little more thoughtful way for using a spokesperson and influencer to rile up conversation. So there you go. When you're thinking about campaigns, you're thinking about these things. Go left when everybody's going to write. This one of the, this one was very good. This was extremely viral.

Yes. Like, I feel like I've talked to one person every day has brought this in real life. Like, oh my gosh. I don't know if I buy it. How many people probably posted? Man, that's so great. He's giving up smoke. He's mature.

Like all these. People are you saying that. A lot. And then there was a huge conversation about what does he know that we don't? What are they putting in? This is it the fertilizers? Like it went down out of that. Then of course you had.

Yeah. Then you had another group like, oh, it's because he's launched an edibles line. People were definitely. There was phenomenal because it threw people in so many different directions, but it was just being talked about so much. Exactly. So really smart campaign from solo stuff. And look, I'll be honest, I didn't know this product.

So now it's hit my radar and Saugers influenced me and a little bit showing me the video. So well played solo. So well played solo. That might be on the Christmas list. How much did they pay him? That would be something I would not probably buy myself. But I put on the Christmas list for like, or my mom or something. You're like, this is cool.

some of the houseboat hey could be I don't know that shit might I'm gonna burn down the house boat but it's smokeless is it heatless too the I don't understand how you

just get rid of smoke I don't know but you know what smoke is bad for not just your lungs it's bad for your skin and you know how you take care of skin that might be getting a little too much smoke and different things

Pepsi is partnered with basketball legend Shaq O'Neill. I just said that, Shaquille O'Neal. For a new commercial as a part of its 125th anniversary marketing campaign, inspired by the 94 collaboration and features a remix of Skiloh's 95 hit of the same name, I wish. The commercial humorously depicts the challenges O'Neill faces due to his towering height over seven feet. The campaign promotes Pepsi mini cans and hearts back to the 1984 ad for the now retired Pepsi big slam product. So a little reminiscing. Did you remember that campaign? Or was that being before your time? I was alive, but it barely.

Live. Yes. Young. So big man. Yeah. Jack. Giant. I did remember this campaign. It's fun bringing back the nostalgia for your marketing. Pepsi does pretty good with their marketing just to be. They're always the number two player behind Coke. We've talked about this. But they make a lot of money even in position too. And I do think shacks everywhere.
