Starting point is 00:00:00 And now, it's time for the Red Pass with Brian Alford. I might do that as my intro when I come home for work. Yeah, that'd be my ringtone. Oh, my God, you get the front of my car. And she's deadpaned, serious. How creative of her. How creative way to get out of shit. I guess.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Facebook's really taken to the chin this week. They've had a whistleblower to talk about how Instagram's terrible for girls. Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that? No shit.
Starting point is 00:00:32 I think everything is going to. Your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Unless your neighbor trying to take some stuff down. They're everywhere. Hmm. You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Rad Radcast. Rad, Rad. It is Friday, October 8th, 2021 as we blow through October in a hurry. What's up, Sean? Welcome to the show. Thank you. What's going on? How are you? How is your week? It's been a great week. Yeah. Really good week. Busy. A lot of new people, new clients, new energy. We got some caviar in this morning from a new client.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Oh, wow. New potential client. They're courting us. Hey, they're sending you. They're sending us goods. They make caviar. They're actually, call it. Kov kaviar. Kolokov. Yes. And they make it. It's like the best caviar in the U.S. And no, they're in freaking L.A.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Oh. Yeah. So. Did you have some? I have not. It's in the refrigerator for happy hour today. Okay. Little beers and caviar.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Okay. I feel like I need to go get some champagne or something. Yeah, I was going to say, is beer and caviar? Is that like how you're supposed to, or is it supposed to be champagne and caviar? Some Budweiser and caviar. Yeah. I don't think it's going to happen. But no, it's been a great week.
Starting point is 00:02:12 How about you? Did you have a good week? Yeah. Yeah. It's been busy. Yeah. A bunch of sketches. Any highlights of the week? We have a new sketch coming out this weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And then we're filming getting ready for another sketch this weekend. Nice. Which is awesome. Yeah. And then after that, I plan on taking a couple days and going surfing. Nice. Yeah. Where are you going?
Starting point is 00:02:32 Wilmington. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Okay. It'd have been a good week for surfing. Maybe. I mean, I don't know. Sands the lightning.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Yeah. But it's been rainy all the week here. Yeah, no, they've had some surf down there. Yeah. That's cool. We've had a good week on the podcast. Tyler Rich episode released this week. He had a number one song on the country music charts.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Congratulations. Better than you used to. And so we've recorded them like four weeks ago, and Tyler was awesome. And then his song goes number one the week. We released the podcast. There's good luck charm. I think it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, he's our good luck charm. I think our numbers went through the roof. Something more people wanted to listen to it. Yeah. But his people were awesome. I can't give them enough credit. They shared a lot of the content that all works together. People, when you come on the show and you share the content, we share the content.
Starting point is 00:03:24 It boosts all the numbers. Everybody wins, folks. You know, there's a method to the madness. Yeah. The people that you bring on, do you ever have someone that you just don't click with? And it's just like impossible to get it. There's definitely better. There's more energy or more, I don't know, the right word.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I don't, there's not been anyone that's called South. I think I'm, look, I've done this for, even before the radcast, I've done podcast and interviewing for eight years. I'm not saying I'm pro, but I know how to do this. I know how to keep it topical. And no matter even if they're like someone I'm jiving with, nearly everything they're saying, I feel like I can keep it on the up and up and, you know, keep it interesting. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I can't think of a one that went awkward. And we do these in one take. Like that's some of these podcasts that go, you know, I hear about all this editing they do. But, you know, Nick Weaver, our producer, one take production. Like everything's like crisp, clear, everything. And even with the guests, I mean, like, unless we've had like a technical issue or something, we're like one take. Yeah. So it's not edited around to make it look like, it's all fluid.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I try to do is I try to make it a conversation less than an interview. Even though naturally I'm asking the questions, I'm guiding it. But no, it's been good. The next week, Dr. Mike Bayer's releasing Dr. Mike, anyone that watches Dr. Phil. He came on a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Really cool guy, really great story. And he does a lot of, you know, he does. And I give him credit. doesn't want to like rest on you know the uh the counselor to the stars he he does not call himself that but he's very much like if you remember demi levato went through a lot of stuff and she stayed at his house for a week like when she's going through the struggles she went through but he opens a lot of uh treatment centers for uh you know addiction and things like that so he's had a story himself he went through that when he was younger told that whole story super transparent but is it mostly addiction
Starting point is 00:05:35 or is it like mental health issues as well? Because Demi Lovato wasn't like a drug addiction, right? Wasn't it more of like a mental breakdown? I think it was mainly mental. I mean, it may have been some alcohol dependency or something. I don't know all of it, so I don't want to speculate. I just know it was a lot of breakdowns with the pressures of being a young star, which I can't even relate to with how big these guys get at such a young age.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So he helped her through that and then done a lot of other treatment for big names, stars, actors, rock stars, things. like that. But now he's really focused on his practices and more everyday stuff. You know, he doesn't want and prefers not to really work with celebrities anymore just because of the stigma and, quite frankly, they're pretty difficult. Yeah, I can only imagine. But he was cool, really great. Look forward to that episode launching Tuesday, so be on look on for that. And then it's coming soon, but, you know, we had to kind of pull something out from an episode that's been launching in a few weeks. A guy I think you know pretty well.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And, you know, he did this little thing. I mean, you may have heard of it. And now, it's time for the Red Pass with Ryan Alport. Bucket List. Ricky Martin. Now, that's awesome. Bruce Buffer, my friends. Yeah, that is awesome.
Starting point is 00:06:58 The voice of the Octagon. Yeah. He was a legend. He was awesome. Legend. Cool guy. Cool as shit, dude. Like, so cool, so authentic.
Starting point is 00:07:07 probably the best marketer we've had on the show. I mean, talk about interchanging his products throughout the episode. Really? Was he plugging a lot of stuff? He was, but he wasn't over the, he was very soft-handed, but very good. I'm like, this is what you're supposed to do. You just plugged it in. I didn't even realize you just plugged in your product.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yes, but he did that nice little intro for it. We might use that a few times, I think. I would use that every single time. I might do that as my intro when I come home from work. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be my ringtone. I'm going to have it with a Bluetooth speaker. Like, every time I walk home.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And so my kids are like, they don't know what it is. They don't watch UFC yet. They're too young. I bet he's got crazy stories. Good stories. I mean, it's such a unique time because, like, you have Joe Rogan, you have Bruce Buffer. I mean, the Dana White and the Fratada brothers, we were alive during the, you know, the explosion of the UFC, which changed the whole martial arts world.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And you still have these guys that were there from the beginning. and you were telling me, you know, before we started recording, it was two or three years of him pretty much donating his time. Joe Rogan has the same story. So I can only imagine. They saw it. They saw, and especially once Dana White got involved, but they could see the future of it, the rawliness of it,
Starting point is 00:08:23 but they saw it, and kudos to them for staying on board. You know, he's had opportunities, and I asked him some tough questions, and he was very direct about it, you know, as he ever thought about, you know, changing, doing things, you know, or had offers. He's like, yeah, but he's loyal. And it's paid off for him because he's pivoted into a lot of other businesses. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Puncher's Chance. He's got a liquor out. I think it was a whiskey or a bourbon. I know I'm beating that up. So I'm sorry, Burrs. But either way, it's called Punchers Chance. You Google it. You'll find it.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And then he's got It's Time Energy Drinks coming. So I'm pretty pumped about that, seeing how the energy drink junkie I am. I'm going to try both of them. I know. So moving on to some social. holidays. We have a few this week. And most of them are pretty serious. So we're going to try not to make any jokes or read them, read over them, especially this first one. The 10th coming up on, I guess that would be Monday or Sunday, Sunday is World Mental Health Day. There's a lot of,
Starting point is 00:09:27 this has become, you know, with like Simone Biles, like the gymnasts, like even Phelps and others have come out with a lot of, you know, the athletes have made this more. mainstream. It's a serious thing and I think the stigma is kind of going away a bit. We joke about things like this, but in all seriousness, it's nothing to really joke about when people have mental issues beyond like my own limitations in life, you know, but like real, truthful, like demons or depression or all those things. Especially as of recently, I mean, life is fucking difficult the last few years. It is. I can't. That's what I'm saying. It's like, You started to have this light being shined on it anyway, I think, before the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And then the pandemic comes and it's like, I don't know what the increase is, but it's got to be like another 25% of people dealing with it, not more. It's creating issues within people that. You know, you force people home and for good, bad, or indifferent, no matter how I feel about that, but you lock people into their houses, you know, for 80% of the time. And if they already had any sort of mental condition, it just has to exacerbate it. Oh, yeah, and then you start, you know, drinking at night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You're stuck around the same people all day, every day. You don't get any space or freedom. I mean, that would drive me nuts. Yeah. So the 10th is World Mental Health Day. If you have struggles out there, you need to find some help. The 11th, Monday is National Coming Out Day. You know, I'm not being gay.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I can't relate to it, but I don't judge it. Like, I just, I can't, I can say this, though. that would be a difficult thing to do. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, even as open as the society has gotten, and I have friends that are gay and they've talked about this, Dr. Mike even talked about this, um,
Starting point is 00:11:20 it, there's still like, God, that's gigantic speed bump of like, knowing and the doubt and like all the, I just, I can't even relate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Because you don't, the average, like, we have, Everyone goes through struggles. Everyone has these things, but you and I and others that aren't gay, like we don't have to make a proclamation that just, like, changes your entire life. Yeah. So, yeah, they change your whole, probably change a lot of your friends and your family looks, you know, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Yep. So I don't know. So I can't relate, but I respect people for making decisions that are difficult. And then the same day, there's three holidays. on the 11th International Day of the Girl. I'm going to just plead the fifth year or the first or the second. Whatever I'm pleading is I really don't have a fucking clue what that means. I don't know if it's celebrating girls.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I don't know if it's, you know, I'm assuming it is, day of the girl. That seems to be. Are we supposed to dress like a girl the day? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Those are usually my Saturdays. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yeah, those are. I'm using Monday. That's when I wear my lipstick. but you bring eye shadow right now i am uh for the show looks good yeah nicks become multi-talented he uh powders my nose for me the uh also the 11th indigenous people's day so uh celebrate i mean i apologize i would like to apologize to everyone who i know like we owe them a debt of gratitude all all indigenous people we do all them a lot and you know a sensitive top every one of these holidays are.
Starting point is 00:13:06 But hey, we're going to tap, if it's radical, we cover it. And some of these are radical. And so if it's one of your days and you're going through it, hats off to you, my friends. Moving on, this is a little, into a little lighter fare. That's probably, that was one of the heaviest social holidays we've had. Yeah, that's it. That's it. October's a heavy, mom.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It is. It's got to lighten up. Felt the weight in the world there. Where's fucking National Taco Day? Yeah, I don't know. But so this is a trending as of like literally yesterday on TikTok. So I'm going to condense the story as much as I can. But a guy and a Lamborghini gets hit in the back by a girl driving a Toyota.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And he gets out and he's filming it, which a lot of people do this now, I think, to just capture like just to CYA a little bit in bad moments or whatever. So he's filming it. And she goes, oh, my God, you hit the front of my car. car. At the back of his Lamborghini's smashed in and in the front of her Toyota's smashed in and she's deadpaned serious. How creative
Starting point is 00:14:14 of her? That's a creative way to get out of shit. I guess. Luckily, there was a CTV camera across the street that captured the whole thing as well but it's trending on TikTok the video that he took of her deadpanting and he kind of chuckles. I don't know
Starting point is 00:14:30 how you drive a Lambo and he's chuckling about it. But I guess he was so surprised at her response. And this was on a road, right? Yeah, like a main highway in California, I think. I'm not driving backwards down the highway. Yeah, driving backwards. On an L.A.
Starting point is 00:14:44 street, no, not happening. And I don't know if he was in L.A., but he was somewhere mainstream. Yeah. The CTV camera right across the street. And so she was deadpaned, and everybody's, you know, eating up the comments, you know, like how funny it is.
Starting point is 00:14:59 She's probably stoked. She's famous now. Yeah, maybe. And I'm like, the whole time I'm, I'm, you know, reading about this, and I caught a little bit on TikTok, but like, I'm thinking, was this all planned? Like, just to get five billion views on TikTok. That's a really cool t-shirt. You know, you're like, yeah, Lambo, $500,000 car maybe, and it's all jacked up. Like, what would it be worth? But like, he saw a lot of t-shirts or something. There's a lot of, he might could make up for that. Yeah. It was planned. I'd buy that shirt. Yeah. Why'd just the front of my car, dude? Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So anyway, on the lighter side. It's marketing. Yes, a little hats off to them. So, you know, we talked before, I don't know why some of these topics seem to repeat themselves. Joey and I always end up talking about techies and nerds, and you and I seem to get down the Lego. They always seem to hit the week of. A 9,090 piece Titanic is now the largest Lego model ever released. 9,000 pieces.
Starting point is 00:16:03 That's a lot. That's a lot. That's heavy. Very heavy. Yeah, it's like wingspan six feet wide, I don't think. Yeah, that's incredible. So I'm just happy that Legos are still a thing. I think there should be a contest for this.
Starting point is 00:16:16 If I was Lego, this is what I would do. There's like 600 bucks too, by the way. So if I'm, Lego, if you're out there, there's a free idea. How long, you do like a branded event and you get 10 teams and who can put it together the fastest. That'd be a good. good drinking game yeah well you know the speaking of that i was going to buy one for my kids and i'd have put together and it involved me how many beers could i drink watching them put it together yeah you wake up the next morning yeah i'm like beer cans are all around me i'm like they're still
Starting point is 00:16:52 working bleary-eyed in the morning like how's it going kids they're like oh dad thought you were going to help i was helping just giving emotional support I think I'd start out helping and then start drinking. Yeah, I mean, a 9,000 piece Lego model would, I mean, that would take days, weeks. Oh, yeah, weeks. You know? I mean, unless you, if you had multiple people working together, but then I don't know how you get ahead. Because always with the book, you can't really get ahead.
Starting point is 00:17:26 It's like one page at a time. Yeah. How do you get ahead? Like, you give half the, like, it gets wonky if you had to stay in order. So maybe they make it somewhere you can work in teams. I don't know. We'll see. As soon as I open it, I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:17:39 call. Why'd I spend $650 on this? I'll be like, oh. Okay. So interesting. So this is an interesting one. So I have four boys. And two of them don't give two shits about what they wear.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And they're all under the age of 12. I guess under the age of 13. We have a 12, a 10, a 9, and a 5. And two of them don't care what they wear whatsoever. And then two of them do. And there's a new study out that shows that Gen Z, which is ages 6 to 24, pretty wide range. But their top spending priority is closed now. So it's for the first time in like 10 years, eight years.
Starting point is 00:18:33 or something like that. What was it before that? I don't know. Candy? Yeah. I would think that clothes would always be like... You would think, but it wasn't for a while. The last like eight years it hasn't been closed.
Starting point is 00:18:44 So it's been NFTs, bro. Yeah. I was probably cell phones or... Yeah, cell phones. Well, parents probably pay for it. But yeah. So a top priority of what they spend money on is now close. And so for half my kids, it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Even though like, I think my... My 11, soon to be, he's 11. I'm like running my years together. How many kids yet? Soon to be 11. He's 10 and a half now. Four boys. Four.
Starting point is 00:19:14 And so Hudson cares about clothes, but it's like he cares kind of after the fact. Like Hogan, who will be 10 soon, he'll have something cool on. And Hudson will go, oh, that's cool. And then he'll get into it. But then when he gets down to brass tacks, he doesn't. doesn't really care. It's going to change when he starts dating. Yeah, oh, for sure. You know? But my oldest, 12-year-old, literally would walk out of the house with pajamas on and whatever and not care. It doesn't does not care whatsoever. Yeah. And what's funny is now they go to
Starting point is 00:19:48 school where he has to wear a uniform and, you know, like khaki shorts or khaki pants and like a colored shirt and he'd fine with it. He just doesn't care. Yeah. See, I grew up and that might be because it's all boys in your house. I grew up with mostly sisters. So every time I put something on, it was, that clashes. That doesn't work. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You know, so. Well, Nicole, my wife, like, drives are crazy that, you know, two of them carried two and don't because she wants them to be, you know, somewhat stylish. And they go out of, you know, like with black basketball shorts and, you know, purple shirt.
Starting point is 00:20:24 She's like, drives her nuts. Yeah. Go back inside and change. So we'll see. But now it's rising is their top, wallet priority, Gen Z, but it's such a weird, it's a big age group. Six-year-olds, and 24, so, you know, those Gen Ziers. I like this one, folks.
Starting point is 00:20:41 So General Mills, they make cereal, but they also make a lot of other things like El Paso, like taco sauce and sauces and all kinds of stuff, huge package goods company. And this was, this one hit my radar, but they're doing a virtual tailgating experience. And I thought this was really cool. It's actually, you go to the site. and it's a kitchen and a living room, and it's a 360 camera that goes around, and you can kind of go to stations.
Starting point is 00:21:08 They have recipes that come up, like they'll have their products on the counter, and it comes up with recipes, and they have these quizzes and different things. And some of these things are gimmicky. I thought this was really well done. So hats off to General Mills. And the team, it was a nice branded experience,
Starting point is 00:21:23 and maybe just because I like tailgating and tacos, I don't know. Football is your sport. Oh, it is. Yeah. So. You love football. I do, and I love snacking during a football game. You know, give me some wings, some chips and salsa.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Yeah. But I did like this experience. It was cool the way at 360, the whole thing. So give it a checkout. If you go to marketing dive, you'll see info on that activation. But really cool, homegate experience is what they're calling it. It's not a tailgate. It's a home gate.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Good job. Good job, GM. All right. So, let me get my punching bag out. here because Facebook's really taking it to the chin this week. They've had a whistleblower talk about how Instagram's terrible for girls and they did a study about that. They had an outage for six hours on Monday. Yeah. For me, it's like no shit. Did you really need a whistleblower to tell you that? No shit. But have you also seen the conspiracies against that where, you know, the conservative
Starting point is 00:22:24 side is saying that's a planted whistleblower. So what's that what that's going to do is just censor more of what media they want driven. Yeah. You know, it's like you can't, you don't know who to trust anymore. No. It's like there's an agenda behind everything. When I look at a company like Facebook,
Starting point is 00:22:43 I don't think things just happen by chance. No. I think everything's planned out. Yeah. Like your service doesn't go out for five hours for everything. Exactly. Unless you're maybe trying to take some stuff down. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:57 You know, or get ahead of something. I don't know. conspiracies abound they're everywhere they're everywhere what is this world what is this world that we're living in it's terrifying
Starting point is 00:23:15 yes it is and going with that Zuckerberg lost $6 billion this week after the sell off of the stock from all that stuff so it may have been planned but uh yeah he took a big loss for him
Starting point is 00:23:28 he hates me so that's a billion in stock. Tax write off. He's like, how can I get a, I need a tax write off. Yes. How can I write it off? That's a big write off.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah. I'm sure you can make that up. But Facebook didn't have a great week. Or maybe they did. And then people sold the stocks off. That's how they lost all their money. Yeah. Sold the stock like it, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Why? Because they think that, you know, it's going to come back. The negative news. Oh yeah, exactly. You know, like. Yeah. It's coming back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I don't know. The, moving on. So Johnny Walker has a new campaign out. And they've had to keep walking campaign going for a long time. Pretty cool campaign. Walk this way. Yes, Sarah Smith is part of the new campaign.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And it's a terrible singing job by me. But it will suffice than less. I was like, oh. We'll dove it out. Yeah. Dove it up. Yeah. Mark that spot right there, Nick.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Don't let, don't let me, don't ask me to sing. Anyway, they're trying to get a new campaign out, trying to get people to go back to bars. Makes sense. Yeah. I mean, that's probably where they do most of their business, you know. I would think, yeah. Yeah. Hopefully bars keep staying open.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. You know, until next month where they decide to shut them all down again. I know. It's like make up your mind already. Exactly. Alcohol kills germs, doesn't it? I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah. That's a fact. Very proven. Yeah. So true. So, yeah, keep walking campaign. I like the campaign. I like the spot.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Anything that has aerosmith in it, I like, though. And I like Johnny Walker. Yeah, I do too. I might take a shot after this. Literally. Yeah. I'll join you. So Pinterest is rolling out some new products focused on commerce and creators.
Starting point is 00:25:20 So are you a Pinterest user? I don't know. I don't. So I actually got into Pinterest. when I was making like movies because then I would use that as a tone piece for wardrobe, for set design, colorways. And that is why I got into Pinterest. So I don't use it unless I'm working on a project and I need like a storyboard of tone.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Okay. I like it. That's the use for it. That's what people do. Like I'm curating ideas for a new home or, you know, style and fashion all this. So it does skew 80% women, I think. But I have used it for similar things. I don't use it as much anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:03 But still wildly popular. And they're coming out with the ability to upload all of your product catalog from your e-commerce store. Okay. So that it can be tagged and use more easily across the platform for purchases. There's a lot of competition now for social commerce. All these platforms want purchases to happen within their platforms. They get a take on it or they get a percentage from the payment platform or they just want people. to stay on the platform longer.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah. Which is first and foremost so they can sell more ads. But they are, they've been a little behind in their platform for sure. Yeah. Pinterest to me feels dated. Yeah. Like I think the idea is good, but it feels like a dated website. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:48 It does to me as well. But how do you change that? You know, like what is, what is an innovative way that you can keep Pinterest up to date when there's so much competition. Well, it's up to their, I don't know, tech team. You know, I think they're, you know, the numbers are still high of people that use it, but it'll be interesting where they go here in the future. I feel like all these platforms are converging on one another a bit.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And I don't know if like... Do you think it's marketing? Do you think it's like putting out ads and videos to change? I think they need to do exactly what you just said. They've got to do some role platform. like refreshing. Yeah. Like to make it more interesting.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Totally. And so we'll see. I always thought that they could have pivoted a little bit more into the male side with taking what they do well and how do you position that to how a guy might use that, you know? And I don't have the exact solution to that. Like, I don't know, like builders, like collecting, like ideas or things. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:50 But like it just felt like they never pivoted into positioning and or tech. They're trying to hit the female demographic way. Yeah, in some ways, hey, the riches are in the niches, as they say. So I get it. But I still feel like it feels a bit dated. Yeah. So we'll see. Finally, scrolling a bit here, we're on, I thought this was interesting.
Starting point is 00:28:13 So there's a $500 million estate in L.A. That has gone into foreclosure. And I thought this was interesting because of, it's the most, expensive largest estate in the world, or at least in the U.S. And I want to give you some of the stats from this house. It took 10 years to develop, and it has amenities, a four-lane bowling alley. That's tennis courts, a 10,000 bottle wine cellar. These are like just warm-ups here.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We're really getting to the good stuff. Seven swimming pools, a full spa, a racetrack, my friends, a racetrack. my friends, a racetrack, a 32-seat cinema, a 50 car garage. That's not five. That's 50 car garage. And a full-size nightclub. And for living quarters, 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, and a 5,500 square foot master suite. It sounds like the Playboy Mansion. Yeah. Like, seriously, like that. It's not that. The Playboy Mansion isn't that big.
Starting point is 00:29:22 No. It's like the playboy Mansion. I don't think anyone right now. I think it's under foreclosure. So I don't know if like, you know, some developer who developed that was hoping to sell it, never did. And like now he's foreclosed. Like he got like $100 million loan like on top of like his own cash, I guess so. I don't know he's hoping to sell.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I don't know how he had it in it. Like who has that money to spend $500 million? And then to fill the $10,000 or $10,000 bottle wine seller. If you can buy the house, you can fill that seller. But apparently no one can. No one. And then the swimming pools, California is in a really bad drought. Yeah, seven swimming pools.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Seven swimming pools. They're all like 100,000 gallons each. Yeah, the water bill for that. They could, Mike could make some money just draining off the water, you know, watering some of them stuff. Bottling it. You know? There you go. Mansion water.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yes. But 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, and a 5,500 square foot master suite. We say if it's radical, we cover it, and I thought that was fucking radical. But they do have it on sale. There's a sale price of $350 million now in the foreclosure. Imagine just being like, oh, yeah, we need to cut the price. It was out of my budget, but suddenly now it's it. No, it's in.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Now, if you rework some things, you might be able to get it. I'm going to move some things around and see if I can make it happen. You fire Nick. Yeah. If I get rid of Dick's salary and, you know, 12 of my own and 14 of someone else is like, well, will be good. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Could you take a pay cut, Sean? For you? Yeah. As long as I can swim in the pool. You could stay in one of the 21 bedrooms. Deal. Deal. I'll work for free then.
Starting point is 00:31:05 The guest suite is 3,300 square feet. Okay. It's a little small. 5,500 for the... I'm trying to even envision. Actually, you can envision it here. Our space here, it radicals roughly 5500 square feet. So this is the master suite.
Starting point is 00:31:21 that's insane that's the best you know like if you really aren't getting along as a couple I mean you can totally like be apart in the same space you know yeah or just give her a house somewhere else she can sleep with all the other bedrooms yeah the other side of LA go sleep in the spa that's all we have this week my friends Sean any uh closing thoughts any uh upcoming stuff for uh you or yeah well thoughts on the world the world is a crazy place right now but in regards to the national holidays, very serious month.
