Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. I don't even know what that means. I don't even know what that means. That would be a quote of the year. It is International Men's Day. And remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's going to love that. She's going to love that.

Yeah. The number one legal drug is caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. That or alcohol. It probably used to be, well. Oh, God, that are alcohol. That's a tough one. I think it's coffee.

and the latest sign of Crypto's takeover. Well, it's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right? Because it's called the Staples Center. When's the last time you use the staple? You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up?

Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. It's Friday, November 19th. I'm Ryan Offer joined by Joe Hammer. What's up, Joe? Hey, man, how's going? Hey, I'm remote today. I'm in a remote... Secret location.

In secret location at my house. Well, you gave it away now. I know. I've been feeling a little under the weather, but you know what? The work doesn't stop. You know, Joe? It doesn't. It doesn't stop.

I never stop work. I'm working right now. So, uh, Yeah, so I've had a little bit up and down a week with the health. But other than that, it's been a good week. How's the week been, Jeff? Good, good. Other than your health, I'm fine. I feel great, actually. I feel better. When you don't feel well, I feel like my health goes like through the roof.

Oh, I'm bad I can contribute. It is a weird inverse. It's weird. I could have poisoned you. Maybe, maybe not. Just tell me what the antidote is so I can get over with this. It's actually 15 shots of fireball. Oh, good. But unfortunately, the fire keg is there and I'm here. Is it really here? Are you serious?

I don't think so. Oh, man, you do that to me every time. It's on backwater. I've like literally, I have it on backwater on like six sites. You're going to end up with six fireball kegs? Hey, there's been the worst things that happen, my friend. That's true. So it's been a good week on the podcast.

If you missed Tuesday, Alina Smith, singer, songwriter, producer came out. And next week, my good friend Brad Lee, the host of dropping bombs, the CEO of Lightspeed. Brad is a very cool dude and very insightful. So I recommend anyone that's in sales, like yourself, Joe, to take a listen to Brad Lee. next Tuesday on the radcast. I will do it. I'll see you next Tuesday for that. You don't have to see me.

Just download it. That's fine. Either way. We need our numbers to go up. Could you download it 12 times? By 1. So our ratings go up? Sure.

Sure. I'll put it on my own. What's that? Do it on Spotify. Do it on Google. Do it on Apple. And then like every episode. Sure.

I'm going to have to figure out how to use all that stuff first. And then I'll download it. Nick, can you help out? Okay, Nick's got me. Nick will help out. Yes. And for those listening, if you enjoyed the podcast, like, review, share. We would appreciate it.

You know, we've got babies to feed around here, Joe, don't we? We need desperately, desperately need it. Christmas is coming up. My kids need new shoes and stuff as well. We really appreciate it. So maybe we can get an official sponsor, you know, instead of having to sponsor. ourselves. I think we, Mike's hard lemonade, I think, was a good one. We really did them a favor, I think.

There's been a couple. Yeah. I don't think we're going to get an advice from Mike. I think the looks on our face after the third sip when we tried to make it work. Yeah. I was like the first sip, I was like, wow. That was pretty bad, but I was just trying to hide it. And then by sip three, I was like, I can't do this anymore. It's not what I was expecting. It's not very good. Mike's hard lemonade. Not very good at all. It's not very good at all. Call us.

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

I guess. I don't know. Where does he live? They live in Anderson, so that's always fun, too. Oh. Yeah. We're going to drop by the jockey lot. It's funny.

If you're from South Carolina, like, and you're in the upstate, when they do the news reporting, all the crimes and all the fires are all happening to Anderson County. I don't know why that is. It used to be Spartanburg. My wife and I, yeah, I did. Sparkle City. And then they've come up. And yeah.

Yeah. But, uh, no, I thought you meant like literally you were going, uh, flying somewhere, having to get out of it. No, it's still, it's still too far. It's still too far, though. You know what I mean? If I can't walk there, I'm not interested. Yeah. You're pretty lazy.

I've extremely lazy. A lot of people say, my wife says that. It's fine. All your friends. Yeah, I've accepted it. It doesn't really. It's a compliment now. You play the part.

I can't imagine having to get on a plane, though, like for Thanksgiving, having to deal with, like, the bullshit at the airport and everything else. Yeah, we flew to Tampa, and it was in July, and that was a disaster, so I can't imagine around the holidays. Actually, come to think of it, I'm going to Las Vegas in December, right, the 16th through 20th, so that's going to be really bad now that I think of it. Well, at least you're going to face. I mean, you know, that's true.

It's a lot worse places. A lot worse. You know, I can think of nothing worse than going to, oh, I'm going to really offend a city when I say this, but like, we're going to St. Louisville and dad. Like, ugh. Yeah. You got to go wait in the, you know, like, we're going to.

Tampa. Louisville, Kentucky. Tampa's pretty bad, to be perfectly honest. You know, Tampa at least got a beach and it's warm. I guess, man. It's just, oh. Tampa is. the St. Louis of Florida.

I don't even know what that means. I don't even know what that means. That would be a quote of the year. Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. That's their new ad campaign. We're the St. Louis of Florida. Moving to an important part of our weekly marketing and news segment would be our social holidays.

We only have three this week. It is important. This is where you get your dated information that you should have already planned for. If you're a marketing social media manager, because by the time you listen to it, you know. If you're getting it here, you're probably past. Yeah, you banged it up already. Maybe we should start doing like a week ahead of time.

So it actually is like our two weeks ahead of time. Relevant is the word I think. So it's useful. Yeah. Yeah. So there's relevance and people that actually plan. We might actually get some social media planners like listening to the podcast. Well, some probably already do to be fair.

but yeah, we probably get more. Yeah, we probably would. But today being the 19th, I mean, if I had my keyboard with me and my sound effects, this would be getting like lots of applause and everything else. Ding, the ding. Today, it is International Men's Day. It's our day. Finally.

I mean, we've been waiting for a day to be in charge and to celebrate. through history, really. Yes. It's finally here. It's Adam and Eve, I believe. It's finally here. What are you going to do? How are you going to celebrate?

I'm going to, I don't know, pat myself on the back. Sure. And remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's going to love that. She's going to love that. Yeah. What did she get you for your gift? Every day.

Better be something good. Yeah, it better be for sure. Yeah, who knows? What do you think you're getting? I don't know. My wife doesn't listen to this. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

A big handful of nothing. Yeah. Big fat. I'm going to pat myself on the back as well. Yes. I deserve it. Yes. Today's International Men's Day.

It's everything that we thought it could be and so much more. I feel great. Tomorrow is Universal Children's Day. okay as men we get to celebrate for all of a day and then we had a we got the children get bright I mean how much of a slap in the face is it to men like the kids are always at the forefront anyway as soon as they come along and then as men we have we get one day to celebrate ourselves and the next day is international children's day is that not the slap of all faces we've been held down for too long men I think plus the children's is universal the whole universe

and ours is only international, so that's a little bit of a, you know what I mean? Raw deal. Exactly. Raw deal. Unbelievable. But, you know, it's all made up. It all is okay, though, because Sunday is World Hello Day. Hello.

Hello. Hello. That's a... I think we should make it say hello funny day. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Yeah, I like that.

Hello. So we're just supposed to go around say hello to people, I guess. I guess. World Hello, day. Assuming you don't. Say hello. Say hello, my little friend. Ah, okay.

Okay. There it is. Ding. Yep. You're just going to have to make all the sounds with your mouth. Ding. I should have my sound effects in the speaker here. You should.

I asked Nick if I could use the sound effects and he was like, no. Nobody can touch that except Brian. Damn it. that's true it's true there's a secret code on that to even get to it okay yeah to even open up the sound effects box it's that complicated no it's not it's that complicated for me just to figure out how to get it to work right fair enough like nick damn it this key does it's working this key's doing a flush and i want it to do a applause this is a disaster yes it's a world hello day it's Sunday Can't wait.

Say hello to all your neighbors and friends and everyone else. I'd prefer not. I'd be kind of funny. I'd like to follow your, can we follow, I'm going to get the guys that follow you around. You just say hello to like everyone, like the most random people.

How many times can I get punched in the face? That's what that is. In South Carolina, I think you'd be all right. They'd be, you know, yeah, pretty cordial people here.

Yeah, it might actually be boring because people would just be like, hey, great. They'd be so friendly. Yeah. conversations. I'd get into conversations with people.

Just like, oh. Oh, who wants to do that? The worst. You don't have to talk to anybody. Yeah, it's world hello day,

not world. I listen to your bullshit day. I don't want to. I'm not interested. That's next week. That's next week. Yeah. Yeah.

Share your BS day. Yeah. It's next Thursday. It's called Thanksgiving. That's what all your, all your family does. It's like, yeah.

Uncle Johnny. I had seen you in two years. And you want to tell me about the, you know, I don't know. I saw your Facebook. You don't need to tell me about it here. I understand your political views from Facebook. You don't have to. Don't bring it to dinner.

Yeah, that's all it is. It's like we get a re-ashing of what we heard on Facebook the last year. 100%. Oh, I can't wait. It's going to be so good. That's where Seinfeld was on to something with the sharing of grievances. Like, I mean, yeah.

It's really what Thanksgiving is, isn't it? A little bit, yeah. And with each other occasionally. There's a Thanksgiving or two. I've been, too, that's been a little bit of a blow-up. I'm sure everyone's been one of those. Yeah.

Well, it's just, even if it's not a blow-up, it's like, I don't know. It's like everybody gets to intermingle with people they see once a year. And I don't know. People are going to think I'm anti-family. I'm not. I just think, you know, you're tight.

I had rather, like, my tight-knit family that I see. And like, I don't do like a family get together. Sure. Like on a Friday where they're serving lots of alcohol. Yep. Like, but, but Thanksgiving lunch,

I'd like to spend with my close tight family. Sure. Never. It's not about Thanksgiving dinner, I guess, really, right? Yeah, sure. Even if it's during the day or whatever? Well, just during the day. I think it can be lunch or dinner.

Okay. Supper. Yeah, supper. Supper. Supper. The supper. The supper. Supper, dude.

Supper. Thanksgiving. That's what I'm saying. So Thanksgiving's next week. And I, and now everybody thinks I'm an anti-family. I'm not. I just think we, I don't know, overthink our holiday sometimes.

I think, you know, like, I just don't really want to know what Aunt Sally's like, you know, problems are. Right. Don't care. I think that's what you mean. It's not that I don't care. It's like I just don't have a solution for you.

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

That's why that's what wines for, I believe. I think you're right. But we still have some dry family events that. Yeah, this is going to, mine's going to be a dry family event. Mine's going to be a dry family event, unfortunately. Yeah. I'm going to maybe take a cooler, a small cooler of white claws in the car. Yeah, I, e. four cases full.

There you go. Oh, I got to take this work phone call. I need to, I'll be right back in in, in about. about 20 minutes. Yeah. That and smoke and joy in the bathroom. Whatever it takes to get through it. Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. So we got some good news topics this week. Okay. First, I don't, are you a Starbucks guy? A what? Starbucks. Are you a Starbucks person?

I don't drink coffee that much. I'm not. Yeah, me, me either. But let me tell you, because I go, Fridays, I like this. Sometimes I try to get into an article and then it makes me think of a story. You know how I am, Jeff. I love it.

The, um, my son and I, Clayton, he's my oldest. Okay. He's 12. Okay. Sixth grade. And we go, we have to take his, his brother, my middle child, Hudson, has to go to, he does school patrol on Fridays. He has to get there super early.

Nice. But Clayton doesn't have to get there until like 8 a.m. And so we go to. Starbucks and sit there for about 45 minutes and have, you know, father-son time, you know, talking about middle school and stuff. And I coach his basketball team. It's just our time together. Sure.

Yeah. Father's son banter. And I, we sit there, you know, for about 45 minutes on a Friday morning from like 7.15 to 8 a.m. And the one in Greenville, South Carolina on Augusta Road, I'm sitting there counting the people coming in out of that place. And they have the app thing figured out. Like if you've already ordered, they come in, they walk up to the counter. I'm like, the amount of people buying $8 coffees at the rate at which they're doing in one Starbucks, I'm like, why did I not think of this?

Yeah. I mean, it's like unbelievable the volume of $8. Yeah. And so yesterday was Red Cup Day. So they give away these red cups. Sure. Every year, yeah. And all the holiday cups.

And it supposedly really ups the sales for that day. Like, I'm like, they really need it. Yeah. Like they desperately needed it. So it's like it's like it's like. And look, I drink energy drinks. So I'm definitely the pot calling the kettle black a little bit here with caffeine. But I will say it's got to be like the most.

The number one legal drug is caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. or alcohol. It probably used to be, well, like a little or two. Oh, God, that are alcohol. That's a tough one. But I think it's coffee.

It probably is. Probably more people drink coffee. Caffeine. Caffeine, you know, whatever. Oh, caffeine. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because if you go across Coke or Diet Coke and then

coffee and energy drinks, it's definitely, definitely caffeine. No question. My wife doesn't do this, but I've had friends and had girlfriends that will drink seven Diet Coke's in a day.

Like, you know, I don't know if you know that person. So my wife, actually, my wife, that's my, it's my impression. It's pretty good. So no big deal. Your dear, your dear lovely wife. Yeah, she is lovely. I don't know how dear she is.

She drinks, she used to drink three or four Diet Coke's a day. I think she's down to maybe one. But it's like, that's like, it's like coffee kind of, it's like an addiction. Like if we don't have one in the refrigerator, like she goes and gets one. you know what I mean Yep It's kind of like me with cocaine Do you know what I mean

If like I don't have any I have to go get some You really get hankering for it Yeah I'm like I'm like I really could use a little bit of cocaine right now And I just go get some Right Nick Nick

Nick gets the best stuff Oh God Just go to him Unbelievable Peruvian marching powder Great job Nick wears a lot of hats Today's podcast Brought to you by Peruvian marching powder

It's the best cocaine for your money. Yes. I do think they put cocaine in Coke, though. Like, I'll get on these I drink energy drinks, and I do drink them

pretty religiously. If you go look at our refrigerator at work, I got like seven cases in there. There's no problem whatsoever. No. But I do think the caffeine is

quite the addiction, and I think Starbucks has the monopoly on a lot of it because I sit down. and watch the people coming in and out of that place. And I'll say this, it's the same people. We go there now, like, it's become a ritual. We used to do hot tape Fridays at McDonald's,

but McDonald's in our neighborhood has stayed kind of locked up for, like they do drive-through only until a certain hours. Really? And so, like, yeah, they've just started to reopen, but they don't have, they're not open fully when we go. So we switched over to Starbucks. Okay. And not only is it called seven times more.

We went from, uh, it's not as good either. For me and my son, it's not like $21 to get a bagel. And of course, my son's drinking a small coffee now, too. Oh, boy. You know, hop. I'm like, oh, boy. You put a lot of sugar in it? He's coffee kind of tastes.

He gets a mocha. He gets like a mocha. Okay. So it's got some sugar already in it. There we go. You know. And that's, I mean, half people come in are getting those drinks, too. Oh, yeah.

They do have caffeine in them. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So Joey and Sean both drink a ton of coffee. Sean especially. Joey, I don't know. Cold brew.

Yeah. Yeah. Sean, I think just straight up drinks coffee all day long. I don't know how he does it because he's the most relaxed guy, but he's just like pounding coffee. I can't do it, man. I can't do it. It makes me feel terrible. Yeah.

Yeah. I can't either. I have like two energy drinks a day typically. One, like super early because I work out early. Sure. And then one like mid morning. And then that's it. You don't have the five-hour energy or like the nitro 700 milligrams of caffeine.

They're mild as energy drinks go too. But I'll admit that I have wondered if you kind of just get off the caffeine if it would be better. I don't know. You'd probably have some withdrawal symptoms, I would think, right, initially? Yeah. I don't know. I haven't had it. I've been under the weather here for a few days.

That's true. And I haven't had any. and, you know, other than this hemoglobin going on the back of my head and, uh, this twitching, I'm good. Yeah. I noticed your eye twitching. Yeah, your eyes twitching. Yeah, yeah, your eyes twitching a lot.

Oh, okay. Yeah. So it's fine. You're probably fine. I think I'm good. I, uh, moving on. I don't drink hardly any caffeine. I want to go back to the caffeine, Ryan.

I want this whole podcast to be about caffeine. Yeah, right, right. All right, let's go. I'm just going to say, I don't really drink any caffeine, um, except, if I'm extremely tired and then I'll have like a diet Coke or something. So that was worth stopping for. No, it was. But I do.

I am amazed that you don't need caffeine at all. Like, I don't have a lot of energy. So it's not like it's not like. It's not like I don't drink caffeine. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm just like, you can see this is it. This is high energy for me. Yeah.

Well, speaking of high energy. Okay. Papa Johns just unveiled a new logo. Yeah, you know, nice transition. He is high energy. And people are confused. They removed the apostrophe in the Johns. Yeah.

And it now's Papa Johns. And isn't it now a porta potty? Like a bathroom, John? Yeah. I was looking at that. It's a little bit of them. A little bit of a mind fuck. Because it was possessive Papa John's, right?

Or it was Papa John is pizza. It could be that. It could be saying that Papa John is pizza. But now what is it? Papa Johns. It's just multiple Johns? Yeah. Does that make sense?

Lots of Johns. Papa John's? No, it doesn't. Multiple Johns. It just sounded like we're doing a prostitution bust. I think the person that wrote this article thinking about it more than most people will. I don't know how much people would really see it. And I will say, like, I'm looking at it on the screen here, like the new logo.

It does pop a little more, you know, with the colors. It looks good. Yeah. And it's a little more congruent without the apostrophe. I mean, those names of apostrophe is just kind of getting away. Grammatically, it bothered me. I don't know. It's weird.

I know. Well, you're a writer. Yeah. So it's like. It, I don't know. I was looking at it. sent it to me and I was like, I don't understand. What is it now? It's nothing now. It's not possessed. I don't. It bothers me. I bet as you know what, you should, you should ask,

there you go. You should ask your wife because she's a school person if it bothers her. Yeah. I will. It will definitely bother her. It probably does. I, I own a freaking ad agency and we write copy all the time. That's true. And she critiques my every text message. So believe me, like she's like literally like I'm like short-handing something and she's like you know grading my paper on my text message so I have no doubt this will bother her yeah let's get her opinion for next next week maybe yeah we'll get it I'll bring it I'll bring it for next week is she does she want to be on the podcast at the radcast I don't know I don't know but I do want to make notes since she said that that Joe Hammer will be joining the weekly news segment

as a stay on as long as we can keep twisting his arm. So I'm excited to have you consistently on the show, Joe. As long as we can stand each other, this is going to be a great partnership. This is last, hey, man, we've been, we've stand, we've stood each other since, what, 14 years old? Yeah, yeah, right around 14, 15 years old, yeah. Yeah, it should be fine. It's been 30 years. I think we can make it.

At this point. If, if the Radcast is, well. is what splits us up, then, I mean, it was meant to be, I guess. You know what I mean? Yeah, I guess. I guess. I guess. Yeah, no, I'm excited about it.

Should be fun. Yeah. Moving on, it shows you how big crypto is getting. The Staples Center, which is where LeBron James played, L.A. Lakers and several other teams, obviously. But the, they're going to rebrand as crypto.com arena and the latest sign of Crypto's takeover. Yeah. First, first thoughts there? Well, it's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right?

Because it's called the Staples Center. When's the last time you used a staple? For me, I don't even know. Years? You know what I mean? You're basically taking Dunder Methlin, like it's paper. You know what I mean? You're selling.

paper and you've switched it to the most high-tech thing you can. So it's a sign of the times for sure. Yeah, for sure. And a sign of money. I mean, and like, and what's the last time you went into a Staples, like a Staples store? Oh, my God. I don't know. A long time. Long time ago. Multiple years. Yeah. You got me buy it online. Right. Exactly. You buy everything online. It's called Amazon. Yeah. Or just honestly, staples.com. Tom even. I mean, come on, Staples. Yeah. Brick and mortar.

What can you, what can you buy at staples.com that you can't buy on Amazon now? Staples.com merch. Possibly. That's the easy button. Yeah. Well, no, you probably buy that on Amazon though. You probably buy it. Yeah.

I bought a generic one on Amazon, actually. There you go. Radical button. Bootleg. Oh, yeah. Yeah, bootleg. Bootlegs. Bootlegs.

Bootleg, but staples buttons are huge right now. It's a huge. Christmas item. So, really? Everybody, my family, I don't think so. Everybody, my family's getting one. Everyone. Everyone.

It's going to be great. Custom. Not custom. No, the same one. They're all getting the same one. The same one. They're all going to open it at the same time and be like, what the, what are you doing? But that way, at least there's no divide.

There's no, like, you got him more than me or she or whatever. It's a quality. It's a quality. Socialistic, socialistic. Yeah. Christmas. We're big into communism and socialism at my house. house. Everyone, I end up with a lot of lingerie, which is weird. You know what I mean? Like, everybody gets lingerie. I'm just like, what are we going to do with this? So my wife likes.

Gotta keep her happy, right, Nick? You get the kids. You get the kids. My son. I guess you got to give me, it's a thong. I guess your mom's got to wear it. Well, my son and I were pretty close to the same size now. So we can just, we can switch back and forth if we want. It's, it's pretty dope. intermix your thongs. Yeah. Yeah, we just trade the middle of the day. Thong change and we just, yeah. That's the best guy.

It's great. Yeah, it's great. We love it. You should try it. You've got multiple sons, though, so you guys could all like. You know what I mean? Thong song. The, uh, Cisco.

You remember that song? Oh, I can't. How could you forget it? Yeah. probably one of the best songs in the history of man. I think so. The thong song is the rad movie of songs as far as I'm concerned. Yes.

So. Yes, it is. So I'm going to skip ahead to a couple articles here. Apple will sell you iPhone parts now to fix your own phone at home. Flip that. Get out of here. I was like, I was like, I read the. this and I was like okay at first I was like oh that's cool you can do it yourself but I'm like

how the hell are people gonna you're gonna have jacked up phones they're even worse than they were how are you gonna fix your own phone at home I I don't know NASA NASA will say you parts to make your own rocket that's what that's that's what that says to me yeah NASA what's the average education like fifth grade like average US education level probably yeah and they're gonna fix their iPhone. Yeah. Okay. Let me ask you this. If I broke your iPhone right now and gave you the parts to fix it, could you fix it? I could, but I'm pretty handy with electronics. No matter what, no matter what was broken. No, if it was like the screen. Well, that's, yeah, you can't do anything about that. You got to go get that fixed. But anything internal, like, I have a mic, here's a microchip I broke. I got to fix that. Yeah.

Yeah. Right. No. Pass. No. Well, let me ask you this then. If I gave you, the parts to make a rocket, how long would it take for you to put them together to go to the moon? Realistically. Infinity. I mean,

never, beyond. Right? Never. Never. Never. I called my dad and my dad can build anything. He'd figure it out about a year.

You think so? You think Steve would figure it out in a year? He was an engineer's mind. Oh, that's true. And he did architecture and so he's I mean he's he kind of has a brain for that

and he may still and he may still not get it right I'm not like oh my dad can do anything you know he still may not get it right I don't know it'll be close fucking rocket ship it'll be close yeah you have some wooden parts in there that he threw in he's a carpenter right but like he loves carpentry right

yeah he'll just have some wooden parts thrown in that he made like some wooden dows yeah put together yeah Yeah, it's fine. It looks nice on the inside. It's beautiful. Yeah, the nicest cockpit ever. Yeah, the beautiful is nice mahogany and it doesn't fly. But it burns.

Yeah. It burns. And it gets its orbit. It's a death trap. Beautiful, though. Beautiful, though. The, I just don't see that going well with iPhone parts. No.

Go ahead and do people. They're tiny too, right? They just increase their customer service level call volume by 4,000 percent. Do you think that's what it is? It's like the McDonald's thing with the ice cream maker where it's like, you know, they had the parts that only they could service. Now, iPhone is, Apple's letting people try to fix their iPhones and they're going to fuck it up so bad that their Apple's going to have to fix it again. Yeah. Is that what you're kind of saying?

I mean, like that's a little bit of, I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's just seems like a good idea and people just are not going to be capable of doing it. Right. And it's probably going to lead to them selling more. Yeah, I think it's that yeah It's a brilliant like backdoor Backdoor thing there I like that Hey we gave you the parts

Yeah we let you try to fix it Yeah We gave you the fault now What it'd be funny if they didn't give you instructions too If they just gave you the parts And we're like Good luck bro Yeah

Oh no they got this figured out They're sourcing that from IKEA The IKEA instruction company Oh so it's all in okay So they'll be perfect Every language bucks Yeah Yes

Yes I can't wait. I'm going to break my phone intentionally. Yeah. Russian that's been, you know, translated to Chinese. It's then changed it related to English. It comes out perfect every time.

One percent of the time every time. Right. It's like Google Translate. It's always exactly right. No matter what. Yes. So Applebee's has come out. From apples to apples to apples.

Cheetos. Apples to Applebee's. Applebee's has created Cheetos fried chicken and cheese. nights. Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cheetos flavored fried chicken.

I've got excited news for you. Okay. I have tried wings from Applebee's that were coated in, uh, fiery hot Cheeto dust or whatever it's called. The hot Cheetos. How were they? Uh, surprisingly good. Surprisingly good.

Yeah. Applebee's kind of hit it out of the park on that one. It was, it was, you know, is it the best thing I've ever eaten? Yes. Yeah. Bar night. bar done. But it was not.

It was actually really good. That far guar and the, that steak, yeah, that one. Garbage. Yeah. I'd rather have a, I'd rather have a hamburger topped with spicy hot cheetah wings any day. Bone in. Bone in. The, yeah, but they're doing all these cheats.

Like, my kids eat these Cheetos flavored macaroni and cheese. It's pretty good. I took a couple bites of that. It's pretty tasty. Did you try, have they tried the hot one? Yeah. and they ate like two bites of it. I took a bite of it and I was like,

it's pretty good, but I don't really want a stomach egg later. So, yeah, so I ate a box of that and, yeah, you were correct. You're correct on the outcome of that. It's not.

I don't really, I don't know if the outcome of that is even appropriate for the radcast. It's not. No, no, it's, but it's what you think of me.

Plus that one right down the toilet. Oh, that would be so good. It would be so good right now. Yeah. But, but Applebee's, you know,

playing off the hit song, you know, from the summer. I can't think of the guy's name right now. What is it? Like Applebee's, Oh, it's night. What's his name, Nick? They get fancy or whatever. What is it, Nick?

Fancy, like. Fancy like. Who sings it, Nick? Yeah. You're fired. I fired Nick, Ryan. All right. After the podcast.

Okay. Just call him. Nick, where are you going? Oh, well. We'll figure out. If I can fix an iPhone, I can run the fucking radcast, dude. Without question. No question.

And lastly, today, in the absurd and crazy and we talked about last week, I think was Sean or something or Joey, I can't remember we talked about. One of those assholes. Yeah, one of those assholes. The volleyball from Castaway, Wilson. sold for 300 grand and this week Kanye West

the college dropout bear costume was selling for one million dollars I don't know what that is did he wore a bear costume

yeah in what like the videos and stuff we're gonna have to Nick you're gonna have to probably pop up this was from a while back I remember

I mean it was it had gold or gold digger on it right the song Gold digger was on there Yeah. I think so. It was a long time ago. Why was he a bear?

It was 15 years ago. Sure. Okay. And he's now selling it for $1 million. I didn't mean to grind it to a halt not knowing what the bear costume is, but it's a bear cost. Is it full bear, Kanye wore it? Oh, it's like, yeah, it looks like a costume, like a character at Showbiz Pizza, you know, like you wear it. Like you can't see his face?

Like you can't see the face? No. It's not a coat with the hood on it like workaholics. No. That's right. And. Worth it. Yeah.

One million. Where do people? You just have too much money to spend, I think. That's like Jake Paul's going to buy it or something, right? I mean, obviously. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. And wear it.

You know, he's going to fight somebody in it. Oh, that would be amazing. What if he bought that and then somebody else bought like a, I don't know, what's another what do bears fight sharks bought a shark costume like from the Katie Perry video that would be great and they could oh yeah they could fire a Katie Perry

Super Bowl thing they could fight yeah I like it we'll get Bruce Buffer to uh I would get to referee yeah to referee it not even to announce no just referee he's like referee Bruce Buffer's referee whatever

and the announcer we need we might be a low budget we might have to get into both announce and I'm sure it's super cheap to get him to do that. Yeah. His rates are rock bottom, sure. I know. I mean, he only does special announcing for certain celebrities, you know.

Yeah. Well, Jake Paul and a bear costume. Special friends. Jake Paul in a bear costume and Ryan Alford. We may or may not have done the radcast, you know? Well, I guess we'll see, won't we? We'll see. His episode's coming out in a couple weeks.

You keep saying that. You keep saying that. Yeah, I know. I'm teasing everyone. Teasing. It's going to come out on January 1st, 2022. At midnight. No, it's like, I think it's next on the hit list.

You know, everybody likes to put out those dad videos where it's the corny like, oh, I'm on the grill. I'm, you know, it's kind of the opposite. It's kind of actually just me being a dad. If you can imagine. Um, you know, it's hard to imagine, but I, I can imagine it's a lot of people. My, for my kids, it's hard to, it's hard to, it's hard to, it's hard to.
