You're listening to The Radcast, a top 25 worldwide business podcast. 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, September 15th, 2023, or weekly marketing, advertising, business, and UFO news of the week. my friend. Chris Hansen, what's up, brother?

As of this week. I'm just pumped to talk about these aliens, bro. I know, man. Curveball for the news. We're business and marketing news, but let's be honest, between Aaron Rogers and mummified UFO aliens, we've got to get to the big stuff.

This was breaking news. How bigger can you be than aliens? This is true. So much alien talk, it's really picked up lately. It's like all these flying objects moving too fast, the Navy, the Army, Air Force, all these videos. And then now we'll put it to the side the fact that this is Mexico's Congress. I don't even know that Mexico really had a working government. But in all serious.

They're like, oh, the U.S. has sightings. We have really aliens. Yeah, we're going to bring up the real. We found these mummies in Peru or wherever they were in 1917. but we're going to bring them out now. They just happen to look exactly like E.T. They look exactly like the aliens from every alien movie we've ever seen. It is weird.

These are government hearings. So let's just put aside our feelings for the legitimacy of certain governments. But it's still like supposedly really smart people. If a U.Fologist, I've just learned which is a term, is talking about it. U-Fologist U-Fology, the study of you, and I'm putting this all together,

but is bringing out these mummified creatures saying they have three fingers, they have eggs inside them, they are taking over the world 800 years ago. I don't know what to think about this stuff. My brain in my intelligence tells me

that if you and I and how many every billion people are walking around this plan, that there might be another planet with other beings on it. That makes sense to me. However, it just seems like at a certain point, it's like ghosts. At a certain point, you're going to see them regularly. You're going to have clear visible video of it that's not grainy, that's not a mumified ET,

that there's going to be like undeniable. 100% proof, no gray area if these things existed, right? But yet, everything is always, if you use your imagination, this thing is flying way faster than any aircraft could possibly fly.

You see this dot on the screen? That's not a fly. That is an alien. Alien craft. And then these mummified creatures that look exactly like Hollywood versions and it's, okay, if I see a fucking alien

and walk by on the trail right here outside of my building. And it pulls out a laser on me. Okay, I'll believe in UFOs. But until then, I'm skeptical. Yeah, I'm right there with you. You can show me these videos, which is now with AI and all this stuff. It's hard to know what's what, but I'm right there with you, these intelligent beings that can travel through space and time.

They can't just do a real-life intro. Yeah, obviously, they're going to stay so behind them. scenes they don't want to freak us out. This is a metal that is not made of this earth. You'll read the articles. It's a combination of adamantium and krypton. At this point, I don't think

anyone would be like shocked. They're just like, oh, at least we know for sure now that you guys are here also. Welcome. Yes. Like some men in black type shit. I know. Like, we'll see. But Mexico's claiming they've got mummified aliens and we need to pay

attention because of you if all it just says so. But in bigger news, Aaron Rogers, this is a marketing business show, but there's just some things that we can't ignore this week in our small talk. It was really quite the fizzle.

So much noise. The poor Jets, they just are doomed, as we already knew they were. There's the only people that thought they weren't doomed was maybe Jets fans themselves. And four plays in, I was watching it live.

And I'm like, dude was getting rushed. Like, it was four plays, but the first three plays, Aaron's getting buzzed on every time. Like, he got knocked down the first throw. And I'm like, they can spend all this money on Aaron Rogers, but they don't have that office of line buttoned up. He's not going to last very long. And sure enough, fourth play. And when he went down, I saw him throw the football. I'm like, that looked weird.

That didn't look right. And then when he laid down, I'm like, you got to be kidding me. And I feel bad for him. I'm not, I don't have any skin in the game. But as an older dude, I'm like, rude for the older guy. How old is he now? He turns 30. He's either 39 or just turning 39 soon.

And still playing at a high level, got himself in best shape of his life, supposedly. And he's ready to play. And then freak your Achilles gives out because they're playing on turf. This is another argument. There's a huge buzz about that. Turf causing it. But so there you go, Jets fans. Super Bowl for you this year, as if you were going to make it anyway.

I know you aren't a gigantic NFL fan, but I'm sure you've heard all about this. I'm Aaron Rogers fan, though. Yeah. Yeah. I respect his game. Iahuascas. Is it ayahuasca or ayahuasca? Is there an H in there?

Yeah, there's an H. It's probably, I mean, I think, yeah, he's like the NFL spiritual guru now it appears. Yeah. He's probably already headed down to his. next get away. He needs to clear the air. Clear that energy out. Yeah, I know.

He might be in a walking boot, but he's taking some mushroom potion and clearing out the demons of falling over. I felt bad for him. Now they've got to go back to Zach Wilson, who's, you know,

immediately through an intertops. Look, they won the game, but that was mainly because of their defense and special teams. So we'll see what happens for all you. If you're a Jets fan out there, I apologize for you being cursed and I feel bad for Aaron but you know what I only feel bad for half a second he's a

multi-millionaire he's got a lot of options he can either suck it up and do all the rehab and come back until career to be wrong or he can never come back and tell us all to go to hell because he's yeah a multi-millionaire and yeah and doing commercials like the one that he's doing that's a mockumentary for Amberjack. This article from adage.com. Aaron Rogers' season may have ended prematurely on Monday night, but the endorsement game continues as the New York Jets quarterback is starring in a just-released mockumentary, a work of fiction that's presented in the style of a documentary

for Amberjack Dress Shoes. Check that commercial out. We'll have a link to it in our feed, but it's pretty funny. And I do think air is pretty good in commercials. I need to see this. I haven't seen it yet. I've also never heard of Amber Jack's shoes. So I'm curious now.

Hey, that's what I'm saying. You haven't heard of them. Now you have. I'm going to click the link in the bio when you post this. I want to check it out. Exactly. Hey, you need to get high on our own supply. Feed our own links.

So those backlinks work for the show. Get it's clicks. Yes. Even if it's my own clicks. Exactly. Click is a click. I love a good mockumentary. though.

Yeah. I think documentaries are underrated. I love anything that's parody and playing off like, this is serious,

but it's really not. I think that's like the guy humor in us. The original for me was like when Will Ferrell and it would do like different skits.

And then when freaking like Tommy Boy was big, I'm completely blanking on Chris Farley would do these market minors on SNL.

And I remember this one. And if you're listening, you probably remember this. Like, they used to have these coffee commercials, which is tasters choice. And they'd always go into these fine restaurants. And they would, it was taser's choice. And they'd go into a fine restaurant. They'd go, we've secretly replaced their everyday coffee with tasters choice. We're going to see what the reaction is from guests that are having the coffee. They go ask them, they go, oh, it's so delicious, whatever. And they do this skit with Chris Farley go

I go up to him and it's on an SNL skit and you're like, sir, we've secretly replaced your coffee with Tasters Choice coffee and instead of going along that Chris is like you did what you're son of a bitch

and he like throws down his napkin and starts fighting the waiter it's funny. Go watch it. Go Google Tasters Choice mockumentary with Chris Farley. So there you have it. S&L was the best of this. S&L's gone downhill.

I wish it was as good it used to be. But that's how we always say. Big time. Yeah. So this has come to us also, not to confuse ad age with AdW week. All the ad, the weeks, the days, the ages, the months, ad month. I'm going to come out with AdMuth. AdMuth.com.

Adweek.com. Nanoinfluencers give brands a better ROI than Kim Kardashian. It's funny. I thought it was micro. Now we're at nano. Not micro influencers. These are nano influencers. They are so small, they're nano.

No, you can't, if you got 1,200 followers, you're too big. We want you with 400 followers. Right. Where's the cutoff? Exactly. It's like, where is there enough scale for it to matter? What are the metrics for nano versus micro? You've got to manage a thousand of them.

Yeah, they're, so social media users with smaller followings generate a higher engagement rate. while the celeb entrepreneurs generate typically less than 1%. And look, this makes sense. And if you want to manage 1,000 nano influencers, great, if you've got the team to do that. But the problem is 12% of 1,000 versus 1% of 200 million. Give me the 1% of 200 million. Right.

So like, hurricane or you might be low. but a reach is so high that you still get to more people. So I need to see more data here. I think they should have mentioned that little, yeah, that they miss. This is where data lies. It's 12% is better than 1%. But 12% of 1,000 is not enough people if you're selling a lot of T-shirts. I need 1% of 200 million.

But the one thing that would be better than engagement rate would be like conversion rate. that's where you get into it. I can see, and we've seen this with our own stuff. Some people move the needle. Some people don't. Is the product relevant? It's one thing for engagement, but what's conversion rate? And so I do think you can get really good ROI out of micro-influencers,

nano-influencers, whatever the fuck you want to call them. But you need to recognize that to get scale, you're going to have a lot of them and manage them appropriately. whereas you could just hire Kim Kardashian. I hate to stay on the soapbox, Chris, but I just wanted to share something from the Harvard Business Review. It's really touched my heart, really in a too harsh. The new word is feed forward. Not feedback, it's feed forward.

Traditional feedback, which includes praise and criticism, may not effectively help employees thrive due to biases and ratings, the brain's response to criticism, and the subjective nature of excellence. Instead, managers should focus on recognizing and reinforcing employee's strengths and successes. As neuroscience suggests that growth is driven by a focus on strengths rather than weaknesses. This shit is just like, feedback. Can we just not use the word feedback and just tell managers focus more on strengths?

It's like, how do you get better at anything if you don't know what you suck at? If you only focus on literally. Oh, Johnny, you're really good at taking notes. You're really good at spelling words. But you fucking suck at math. Like,

but so how do you get better if you don't know? Oh, my God. I do. When is it in? I'm all about positivity, but sometimes you get a fire under your ass. But you want to get better at something. You got to know what you suck at. I'd rather have someone shoot me straight.

And yeah, I might not like it at the moment. Once you get over the initial kind of, oh, you do better, right? Like you can take that and either, you know, be a victim or be like, okay, maybe there's some validity there. Let me take a look at myself and try harder. That's just nuts to me, man. Yeah. Like this corporate culture.

The subjective nature of excellence isn't subjective, man. We all know when we see it. Like, it's like we can all choose to, here's what's subjective. Happiness is subjective. Excellence really isn't. It's right. So we're confusing two words. It's okay if you're happy being an everyday person,

you don't want to work 80 hours week. You do not want to like, you want to live. to live more than you work and you recognize that might come with a limited amount of money, but you're happy. That's fine. But excellence in sport or a job, it's not really that subjective. It's not, especially if you have measures to grade and they go, okay, you have checks and balances for these things. And I don't have a problem.

I'll find myself, I have no problem. changing like criticism or negative to opportunity for improvement or I like the word opportunity. So I'm okay with a little bit of lingual change here. But let's not confuse it. If you don't know what you're doing bad or not hitting objectives, we have to have expectations. This just feels like we're wiping out expectations. when you are no longer going to criticize or tell where you can improve,

you're pretty much extinguishing any real expectation. Yeah, and you're just, you're not empowering people, I feel like you need people to push you out of comfortability in order to get better. And that could be even a personal trainer in the gym pushing you to get two more reps when you don't want to do it. I just feel like humans evolve through hardship and challenge, not coddling and pats on the back. Yeah. One would think. Call me biased.

I really need you to. And believe me, I've had some harsh managers in my day that definitely hurt my ego if I got some criticism. But if I'm honest, they were probably right about the things I needed to improve on. And it might have pissed me off, but it made me do better.

take it as fuel. Yeah. Just next time, just don't give me feedback. Just give me feed forward, Chris. Yeah. My fragile ego just can't take the feedback anymore. I just want to go forward. These word games, man.

So noise. Cameron, one of our producers and stuck this in there because she knew that I would love it. And I did. It's right up your alley. Maybe she's trying to tell you something, Ryan. She doesn't want any more feedback from me. She only wants feed forward. Yeah, adopting a new philosophy at the radical agency.

Feed forward only, guys. No criticism. Absolutely no expectations and no grading. It will only be positive. All right, moving on. Warner Music signs a record deal with an AI-generated pop star. Nuneuri. I think I said that.

That's what it looks like on paper. Nunei is a virtual influencer with over 400,000 Instagram followers. Just keep in mind that means they're not real. And as achieved the distinction of being the first strictly digital pop star and secured a record deal with Warner Music. It was created by Munich graphic designer. George Zuber initially gained. fame as a model and an Instagram influence before venturing into the music industry with her debut single Dominoes created using Generative AI.

The revenue from the song will be shared among all contributing creatives. So essentially, this graphic designer created a totally virtual influencer, i.e., not real, i.e. a robot, digital robot. Nunuuri and it has 400,000 followers and it makes music. Man. I like how it still refers to Nauri as a her, like with her debut single. It's not real.

Is it a she, him, it, her, or us? I think it should be a we since it's AI generated and it comes from so many people. I'm going to call Nunei them. The positive I can say, at least the revenue shared. Yeah. By everyone contributing.

Exactly. Cool. I'm going to get on after this and listen to some new newry. And they can follow them on Instagram and see how many pronouns they have. I bet it sounds pretty good because a lot of stuff starting to sound fairly similar, especially the poppy stuff. Throw it in the generative AI machine and it pops out a hit track. and it just might sound a lot like Drake or whatever.

I don't know what the genre is. This comes from hypebeast.com. They always have some random shit. And they also, if you want to know, if you want to go to like their brand meter, you can see what brands are most popular on Hype Beast. I'll go check it out sometimes. Nike's always up there.

And some of the more, they always have pretty cool. It's cool stuff. Yeah. I like that. And then you can also see the up-and-coming brands. Maybe the hipsters are starting to wear or whatever. It's like creeping into the top 10.

So it's heating up on the radcast. stay tuned and look check your local listings i.e. Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Check your local listings for all the newest and updated episodes that will be coming out. Keep joking those local listings. Chris. I always do. You always do. Stay up to date. Speaking of up to date, Ben Affleck's always up to date. Duncan. Yeah. With Ben Affleck and I, Spice are in a new ad for Munchkins drink. Benafleck is back in another Duncan's ad, this time joined by Ice Spice for a new fall drink in a bid to lean into the rappers. Gen Z fandom, three words I enjoy, is the fandom is a fun word. Fendom.

I don't know if that's like good or bad. I'm like, oh, oh, fandom. It's heavy. It is heavy. I do these Benaflect Duncan commercials, though. I like him behind. I don't know what is. Like seeing him like with the headset on in the drive-thru line.

It makes me think for a second that he's in everyday, man. It makes sense. Every time I've seen Pop Pratsy photos of him, he's got like a dunkin in his hand. Yeah. It's because he's sober. So he's always drinking coffee. Yeah. I don't know if it's to sober him up and he's just, it's just disguised.

But after that one, what was, it's like, he's been really sober because it showed him like he looks sloppy as hell at like one of the parties. with gin and I don't know. I hope he's maybe she's uh I don't know if you saw there was a video of them walking to their car and he opens the door for and he like slams it where it clearly looks like they were having a tiff maybe it's how he just copes with dealing with her maybe I'll tell you this much why is it that all all celebrity couples never it never. 99% of, if divorce rates 50% for the uslings, it's 99% for celebrities. Like you got all the money, you got all the fame.

Why can't you fucking make it work out? Like, I'm rooting for them, man. They're on round two. God knows she's been engaged, I don't know, four or five times. I think it's now. 45 times. Yeah. Maybe.

I think it's more than that. Yeah, it's a lot. I'm rooting for them. I just don't understand. At the end of the day, unless it's, he's hitting the bottle again, which maybe that's the problem. But if it's not that, what do they really

have to argue about? She looks great. She's 50-something and looks 30-something. He looks pretty good. He's a good-looking guy. He was bad man. And they got more money and they can do anything. It just shows you money and success does not make happiness.

But unless he's, he might be hitting the sauce again. That might be why they're pissed sometimes. Who knows? It could be, man. But I like these don't get commercials. And I like me some ice spice. My kids like ice spice. Are you an ice spice fan? Yeah, she's, I can't say, I'm going to go in the car and look her up on Spotify, but she's had some catchy tunes. I like her vibe.

I like her style. I think she's got a unique style. Yeah. I always want to call her Spiced Ice Ice Ice, though. I don't know. Ice spice. Hey. Spiced ice.

She should be doing like a spice chylote. Exactly. She needs to be on like Starbucks. That was her agent. I'd be like, all right, we need to get an ice coffee at. Starbucks with some spice on it. And I guess you could do that at Duncan, but I'm sure that's somewhat related to the munchkins drink on some level. Maybe they have a spicy chie munchkin flavor or something.

Good for her. I used to drink the hell out of Dunkin' Donuts. When I was in New York, it was on every corner. And I would have that tall. Like, I'd feel so good for 20 minutes. And then an hour later, I'm like, I don't know. It was so good, though. That's the only coffee I really drank.

yourself a dunkin guy I don't drink coffee. Like I'm an energy drink guy. But you just fucking slam monsters. Today it's You're an energy drink guy. Oh, you're switching it up. Different blend, different formula.

Yeah. We're trying to get up all the potential sponsors. Optin nutrition. Give us a call. They've got their amino energy. This one's pretty good. So I got 100 milligrams of caffeine. This is not too bad.

But I had 600 earlier this morning. So I figured I'd, to go like for the show. You didn't want to be having heart palpitations while on the show. Look, I think I can have like 2,000 milligrams of caffeine and take a nap. I don't know. I'm right there with you, brother. I mean, I had a venty right before this and I'm, I could lay down and take a nap right now.

Yeah. Maybe it's the sun hitting me. I'm like a reptile with a heat lamp. Possibly. But I stopped drinking coffee because I was like, once I realized, like, I finally saw an article or was smart enough to go. All right. is a lot of cream and a lot of sugar. I'm like,

and yeah, it had caffeine, but once I realized it was really just like dessert in a cup, I'm like, I'm just going to go to energy drinks. And I think I lost 10 pounds just cutting up the extra extras. Dude. Yeah.

Those drinks now, their Starbucks is dropping the fall stuff. I saw this morning. You're right. It's absolutely dessert in a cup. Like, it looks delicious. I don't,

I just do black. I don't do any of that. Yeah. Maybe. once every three months I'll do a caramel macchiato if I'm feeling funky I'll tell you what I anticipate a stomachache all day

yeah I could never get into Starbucks though my wife like Starbucks I was always a Duncan guy fair just have a debate so if you're listening drop us some DM or something are you a Starbucks person or a Duncan's person

and why and if you try to throw in like some brand that's not one of those two we're not listening to you because don't come out We're not us with Caribou coffee. None of that. None of that.

We're not supporting small business with local shops that we've never heard of. This is all about big corporate America that might sponsor the show. I'm kidding. But for real, we want to keep this clean. Duncan versus Starbucks. Who's winning? There you have it. Mark Musk Zuckerberg Gates to join U.S. senators for an AI forum.

Lawmakers are grappling. with how to mitigate the dangers of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in investment in consumer popularity. After the release of open-ey's AI's chat, GPT, lawmakers want safeguards against potentially dangerous, defaics, election interference, and attacks on critical infrastructure. This comes to us from us, news.com. Yeah, I think they should be involved in this discussion. It makes me laugh

It's like Everybody that's making all the AI That might do some scary shit All is getting into a form Yes Yeah It's exactly my thoughts The people are responsible for it

Yeah And I venture to say Some of those people Have had some questionable business tactics In the past I don't want to name names But everyone knows these people

Yeah This would be like Like let's get the Marlboro Family And Skull family Tobacco and the dangers of it and, you know, what they're going to do about it. They're not biased at all.

Yeah. And what's the family like the painkillers? Let's get the Purdue family in and talk about how we're going to regulate opioids. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. We'll say about that. And because those senators are so well versed on AI, these young tech savvy senators.

I think, you know what? I don't get that involved with politics, but put me on the, I think senators should be from 35 to 45 years old. And I think presidents should be 50 to 60 period. Because there's your two terms, 50 to 60. If you want to run for president, then you need to be between 50 and 60 years old. That way, you've got the energy, the stamina.

You're somewhat plugged in to the old school and the new school. And you can get your two terms in. You just need to start running when you're 50 And or somehow Or 48 or whatever back that out So you get your two terms in while you're 50 to 60 Anything older's too old You think younger's too young

I can get behind that Yeah me too And that means my window's coming up buddy Hey Better start prepping that campaign boy Got to start raising that money Exactly That's the last thing I want to do

Oh, finally today. Coca-Cola launches beverage created with the help of artificial intelligence. Also known as AI people. Coca-Cola has launched Coca-Cola Y-3,000. A beverage, the company said, is the first flavor co-created with human and artificial intelligence. It's the latest limited edition flavor to launch under its Coca-Cola creation's platform and the third one to debut this year. They'll have a zero sugar and a full sugar version launching in select markets around the world. Coca-Cola started the creation's platform in 2022 to highlight the company's signature beverage while drawing in younger consumers.

So far, it's launched seven flavors. Yeah, this comes to us from the marketing dive.com. You get to try some Y-3,000? I'm intrigued. I definitely am open to it. I'm just fascinated how they did this. And what? Yeah, what were the, it's got to be, it's probably good as shit.

It's probably really good. Maybe. The first couple of, I've tried the first couple of these. I was, I didn't like it. Like the, they were taking two. The AI ones? No. I think this is the first, this is the first AI one, Chris, according to this article.

The, but it's, they had a couple other flavors under this creation's platform that I've tried. They've had them in stores. You've probably. saying, they've had the funky labels. Like, they've been like too fruity. They don't taste it that great. But I don't know how much. I'd let them know how much they're selling of this.

Are they really selling? Are they bringing in more customers or are they just diluting the people they buy regular Coke? That's what I'd like to know. Because that's the real truth. Are they pulling people over that might be drinking like the orange soda, the purple sodas? The non-Cola's.

Okay. And that strategy makes sense. But if you're still selling like a billion coax and you put in these new flavors, I guess if it's bringing in the younger demo, but I just want to know if you're cannibalizing your regular Coke sales or are you actually bringing in new consumers. Yeah. That's the question. That's the business question.

And I would assume time will tell. Time will tell if it's doing one. I did. I will say this. Nicole turned 40 last weekend. We were down in Charleston on Folly Beach. had a great time. And after the weekend,

it was very tired. And we stopped at the Waffle House. And on the way home, had by a normal double waffle. Delicious. Don't mess around with anything else. It's the fucking Waffle House. Get a fucking Waffle.

Get it double it up. Butter and syrup. Call it done. Don't get anything else. Don't try to tell me about this bowl or that bowl or this bowl. No, get the waffle. I had a regular Coke with that waffle. This was the most unhealthy meal.

I've probably eaten it. I don't know how long. Double off on a Coke. However, that Coca-Cola original was delicious and reminded me of why it's so addictive and probably so bad for you. So there's my Coke story. 100%. And we did have a fan this time. You're a regular Coke guy.

Yeah, I am. I'm a definitely regular Coke guy. Although I did think of you when I was buying one the other day of trying the zero. You ever tried it? I think that this year. I've had it, but I think it would particularly, we talked about the zero cherry, which I've got to get that, dude. You have to get zero cherry.

I know. Dude, it's the best. So good. So bad for you. So good. Yeah. Why 3,000, though. When I heard this, I was thinking more of, what's that?

I feel like it was like a Rappertor's name. Like, Y 2000. Andre 3,000 from outcast. Yes. I knew. I was like, why 3,000? It's, yes, Andre 3,000. He's going to sue him.

be like, that's too close. That or he's going to be rapping about it. I am curious where that comes from, the Y-3,000. I don't know. Who knows? Yeah. Maybe the AI said, you need a name it this. Yeah.
