Starting point is 00:00:53 Oh, gentlemen. I had to get right at it. Yeah. Get right to it. It's spooky season. Oh, yes. This is not the first time you, if you were the people at home, this is not the first time you play that sound.
Starting point is 00:01:07 today. 20 fit. And 24 of them scared me. We're going to keep going at it. I'm Ryan all for joined by Josh Hill. Joey and Joe today. Yeah. No Sean.
Starting point is 00:01:19 No Sean. I mean, we asked him not to be here today. We can cut that out. So, yeah, you know, it felt we were going Joey, Joe and Joey. Joe. Yeah. We need that. We need Sean for balance.
Starting point is 00:01:35 spiritually, emotionally, or? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. All the above. He's a vitamin. Joey, Joe, and Sean have joined the radical team. They've been helping us write, script, act, do everything that's funny, interesting, and just taking
Starting point is 00:01:50 us to another level, guys. Chores, Ryan's chores. Yeah, did you get his car washed or not? We still have to do that after this. I got his motorcycle wash, not his car. Okay. All right. We'll get right on it, right.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Sorry. My golf cart needs a good buffing, too, out there. That's what she said. I don't think I did that right. Are you guys Friday the 13th fans? Like either the movie or otherwise? I like horror. A lot.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I just watched American Horror Story in 1984. And that is the knockoff of Friday of 13th a little bit. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. I like that one. Did you actually watch that one? I did watch it. I watched it quite a while ago.
Starting point is 00:02:28 No big deal. Okay. Josh, you're a horror fan? I am, but I haven't seen Friday the 13th. Oh, my. My God. Double. You're going to get it.
Starting point is 00:02:42 You're going to get it. I mean, but any, what's your favorite horror film? We'll go around, round table here. Favorite horror films. Probably a tie between the witch and hereditary. Very scary. Never heard of either one of those. I've heard of the witch.
Starting point is 00:02:55 The witch was pretty scary. I've heard of a witch. Yeah. So I don't. Is it like that? Yeah, pretty much. Perfect. Like the wicked witch of the West.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Sure. Both. Yeah. Big fan of both. Never keep up which one was which. Yeah, that's what I was talking about is the Wizard of Oz. The favorite horror movie. Scared me.
Starting point is 00:03:18 That was a scary scene with the monkeys flying in on, you know, top of. Yeah. It was like a seven-year-old. I was terrified. Oh, absolutely. Anyway, yeah, I like probably the 13th, though. I like the scary movies. Like, the shit now is just not that.
Starting point is 00:03:30 It's like, the purge. I'm like, are you kidding me? More gold. right than it is yeah it's like okay when I love about the purge though it's like people are like always talking about like when it comes to violence and stuff they're like we're too crazy
Starting point is 00:03:44 I'm gonna go home and watch the purge and it's like this is like the most violent movie ever made I'm just gonna relax by watching the purge man kick back kick back and watch the purge I like to purge the purge yeah I think my favorite
Starting point is 00:04:00 and this might be controversial is Candyman remember Candyman oh yeah I think they're making another one. Oh, maybe, but that's, that scared me pretty good. It was scary.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah. Something like that quasi-believable slash scared the crap out of me. Set in what Chicago, I guess? Yeah. Gritty, was gritty.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Serial killer and, you know. It scared me. Is there a Chicago movie that's not gritty? I bet. That's hilarious. Blues brothers? That's gritty,
Starting point is 00:04:29 though, a little. The Muppets take, oh, that's Manhattan. Yeah. That's great. That's pretty gritty, though, too.
Starting point is 00:04:34 If you watch it. Anything said in the city is immediately gritty. Gritty, I mean. Martin Scorsesey put it. Urban. Gritty. There's a new fan film called Jason Rising. I was doing my research for Friday the 13th of the episode and came across the trailer.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Pretty scary, actually. But I'm sure at certain points, though. The fan films start going downhill fast. They do. No. No go. Like, they can make the trailer look good, but then it's like, oh, the acting. Well, they can get, like, the rights to.
Starting point is 00:05:03 some of the stuff probably and like they probably can't do as cool stunts. Well the whole Friday 13th movie is tied up in court right now supposedly. That's why there hadn't been one in like 15 years. I learned that too. Because the original
Starting point is 00:05:19 screenplay writer who supposedly wrote it and transitioned rights to a director, the first director, he came back after the fact and said he didn't really mean to and it's been in like a peels Of course, there's probably more through it.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Someone's going, you know, actually it was, you know, it was in the 13th Circuit Court of Chicago. They, uh, whatever. It's tied up in court. You've seen Freddie versus Jason, but have you seen Jason versus Warner Brothers Studios? This time it's personal. He's back with a vengeance. Sounds gritty. We've had a good week at Radical.
Starting point is 00:05:58 The Radcast is picking up steam. We had Spencer Pratt. His episode launches next week from The Hills. Yep. You guys watch The Hills. Do you guys Hills fans? Hills have eyes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:11 To stay on the horror theme. Yes. Yeah. Very good. I have watched the Hills. I was not a huge fan. Yeah. Hot girls on there.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Yeah. Pretty hot. For sure. Yeah. I like that. Lauren Conrad. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Nothing wrong with looking at her back in 2007. Yeah, whenever that was. She works in a Denny's now. So probably not. No. He's got like a line at Coles or something. Oh, okay. I'll stop by. With my Coles Cash. I got a lot of Coles cash.
Starting point is 00:06:42 You've got the app. Saved up, yeah. For sure, obviously. But Spragash, we're actually doing work for Spencer's. Pratt Daddy.com. I saw that. It's telling crystals. It's exciting. That was crystals.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I saw some people. Right. People selling crystals outside. We are in an urban area. I was under the train tracks over there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you channel it with a tin foil pipe?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Because that's what he was, yeah, he had a broken light bulb. He was trying to. It's just the packaging. Okay. Praddaddy.com. Yes. That is. So that's his website.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yes, that is his website. We're going to be doing SEO optimization content, you know, getting him in Hoddy Montag looking like a million dollars selling real crystals and meteorites. She probably doesn't need your help to look like a million dollars. That's clear. Quite clear. Yes. He might.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But she does not. No, he doesn't. Caulfay Anderson, who was on Country Ever After on Netflix, if you haven't seen it. Good. But country music artist. He won two awards, number one, two awards for things that have never happened on the radcast. Number one, the most energy of any guests we've ever had. I mean, like, off the chain, positivity, awesome dude.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Number two, serenade, guitar and song for, I wouldn't call it. just for me, but for our listeners. It was just for you. He played a couple of jams. He said your name is. The song was called Ryan Alford. Owner of radical. But it could have been for anybody.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah. Hey, but hey, if you're listening to this, you need to listen. We've got some big hitters coming up. And Tyler Rich, who's got several big hits on country music. He's going to be a guest next month. And a couple guests that I've got to keep up my sleeve. I can't really, their agents haven't completely, uh, authorized release notes yet.
Starting point is 00:08:36 But things are heating up. Wow card. Wow card. So to be clear, he had more energy than we do. Is that what you're saying? I thought about on the guest interviews, not the news interviews. Okay. Well, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Do you like people, well, obviously, buddy, but do you guys like people that are energetic or at times are you like, dude? I like, on the podcast. Yeah, sure. Because it's like, I don't have to, it's not like pulling teeth to get them to talk about. things, you know? But in real life, like, you know, it's, it can go, dialed down a little bit. That's why I'm on the podcast, but he put me over in the cubicle just away from him.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Because you're a ball of energy. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm known for. Is that what you're known for? Okay. I actually saw his interview and he seemed to be licking his gums a lot and scratching his neck. So I don't, do you think that's, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:30 He was sniffling a lot, too. I don't know where that energy came from. Oh, boy. Is it natural? Allegedly. So, yes. So keep on the lookout for all things. Radcast,
Starting point is 00:09:46 the big hitters coming. And we're intermixing some marketing guests. We've got some guys from Nielsen here today to talk the upper and lower funnel, which may not sound as interesting to everyone, but the purchase funnel. And it's going to be actually exciting for me as a marketing geek. Okay. But Nielsen is the rating.
Starting point is 00:10:03 people. Yes, they are. Nice. Okay. Yes. So, uh, we're going to talk about the, uh, we aren't going to talk about the death of television, but, they're aware of it. Yeah. They're aware of it. You're going to bring it up and they're going to be like, what? What? What? The death of what? What are you talking about? Chris Farley. We secretly changed your, uh, coffee for, uh, Folgers or whatever. I showed you. You did what? You're Columbia. You've caught with B. F crystals. TV ratings have secretly been dying for years.
Starting point is 00:10:34 You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. Who knew? Yeah. Hey, social holidays this week. We've got two that are really exciting. National Relaxation Day is August 15th. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It's the 15th? Two days. That's Sunday. Oh, crap. I took five Xanax today. You're a little early. Yeah. It might last until then.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You took five. And August 16th, the day after. is National Tel-Joke Day. Okay. I'll be thinking of a good one. You guys want to hear a joke? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:12 No. It's not even National Tel-Joke Day, but I'd love to. You want to get out ahead of it? Yeah, I can't want to get out of it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I walked in on my roommates, and they were making love on the kitchen table. And I had to have that roommate conversation where I say, mom and dad, you got to quit doing that. You're shaking the whole trailer. They didn't like it. Wait, you can boo me. Go ahead and play a boo sound. He didn't like that one.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Same thing. They went a popsicle. Come on. Someone tell a better joke then, all right? I would never expose myself like that. I would expose myself, to be clear, just not like that. So in some real marketing news. The
Starting point is 00:12:01 Wendy's is actually doing So it's Friday the 13th And for Friday the 13th weekend Now we're extending it to the whole weekend Whatever that means Yeah But it's known for being bad luck I mean there's a whole history
Starting point is 00:12:15 Of Friday 13th being bad luck But Wendy's wants to clear your bad luck By giving away croissant sandwiches In the morning They're pushing their big breakfast stuff So if you want a free croissant Depending on when you're listening to this podcast It releases at 4.30 a.m.
Starting point is 00:12:30 So you still have time. Oh. But you have Friday and Saturday to get a free croissant. They're participating. Participating. Okay. Astric. That's an asterisk.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Wendy's. So just to be clear, hey, what you say? How is getting food poisoning going to clear my bad blood? Wendy's is not a sponsor of the recast. No longer. Okay. Just now got the text. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They're never coming on. Yeah. Yeah. So, like I said earlier, I mean, when I think fresh homemade croissants, instantly I think Wendy's. I mean, I really value restaurants that don't do one thing really well. They just kind of like diversify the food offerings. Kind of like a grocery store. I think it's normally a sign of a good establishment. Kind of like Hardee's used to do. Hot dogs, ham sandwiches, burgers, chicken. They used to have fried chicken at Hart. parties. Yes, they did.
Starting point is 00:13:29 From Clemson. Oh, yes. I will say this. I am not a huge fast food guy anymore. But when I think of like breakfast fast food, I do like a croce sandwich from Burger King. Or some French toastics. I'll agree with that. Neither one of which are very good for you.
Starting point is 00:13:46 No. Those are tasty. You know. Taco Bell's breakfast, not bad. Yeah. Interesting. Not bad. The breakfast crunch wrap.
Starting point is 00:13:54 The what wrap? The crunch wrap. The crunch wrap. Okay. That was a different thing. It's not bad. It's very bad for you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:04 You guys are going to hate on Wendy's and go to Taco Bell? No. Make a run for the border. Come on. Winnie's isn't one of my tops for like lunch and dinner, you know, the late night snacks. You can't beat the 4-4-4. I could agree with that. Wendy's is it somehow seems better than the McDonald's and the Burger King.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Also not sponsors of the Ratcast. No. No, okay. That's what it's all fast food It is all fast food For some reason It seems better It does
Starting point is 00:14:34 Maybe because they used to have that No they do seem better The Czech fillet seems better It does It's not though It's not It's better for you But they fooled the whole world
Starting point is 00:14:44 They're like Satan They've made everyone believe That you know It's not exist Like it's unhealthy Yeah I like that I like that analogy
Starting point is 00:14:51 They would not like that I would hate me off You put the menu on a white back background. That's what makes it healthier. You get some teenagers in the parking lot with iPads. Yeah. All of a sudden it's healthy.
Starting point is 00:15:05 He held the door for me. It must be healthy. They have kale. We're sticking with the fast food theme here. So if you've ever been to McDonald's and I have kids, so we go regularly for the Happy Meals. Hold on. I thought you said you didn't do fast food.
Starting point is 00:15:18 My kids. You have how many drive-throughs I've gone through and never bought a thing for myself? About $10,000. But have you ever seen? tried to order an ice cream for, I mean, or McClury for a McDonald's. And what's usually the issue? Machine's broken. The machine's broken.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah. Well, hey, it's been revealed. The reason the ice cream machine and the McClory machine is broken is because the maker of it purposefully put it a default in the software with which they have the monopoly to fix. That's why they're always down. And it's true. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Brilliant. Right. I mean, that doesn't get much smarter than that. And it's just absolutely crippled McDonald's. They're struggling. They're out of it. I think it makes people, it's a scarcity thing. It makes people want it more.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Yeah. Oh, they don't, bro. Oh, shit. I'm thinking about it three days. Then they really come in. They order seven of them. They don't want. Pour them all over their head.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Oh, that's, no. No? I think I've seen that one. Yeah. There's nothing more disappointing than you have kids. You're going there for the ice cream. And then you pull up to the. drive-through sign and they put it.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Someone's taped it up there and you know quasi-English ice cream machine broken. You guessed it. Our ice cream machine is broken. Yeah. As usual. Fuck. Like kids are like crying. I'm like, it's okay. Well, go to Wendy's. You're Frosty's.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Frosties. Have you guys seen? I never saw the founder. You know what I'm talking about? The McDonald's movie. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They're going to make a sequel, though, called The Founder 2, the Ice Cream Machine is down. He's having like an existential crisis about all his ice cream machines being down. He comes back from the dead
Starting point is 00:16:58 To resolve the ice cream machine issue He goes undercover at Wendy's to find out the frosty How do they do with the frosties is so good with it All right I'm leaving We've been Joey and Joe Thank you so much It's an elimination podcast The Elimination

Starting point is 00:17:51 and then the thing that's terrified me and also maybe me laugh a lot is this there's this one guy who has like he's got like eight million followers or something and all he does is just read he green screens himself with like a tweet and it's just like not a funny tweet it's just like a relatable thing it's like things everyone does and he's in like check under the bed like before getting like check for monsters under the bed before you get go to sleep and he's like laughing like so hard he's like ha ha ha that's so real And like, but he just has all these followers and all these likes.

And they're like the voiceovers were like, Benjamin, turn on the duets or I will find you and I will kill you. And it's like super threatening. And some of them are like really.

Starting point is 00:20:14 Right. Oh, yeah. Instagram's held on to it. Or not, excuse me. LinkedIn is held on to stories. I thought they would get rid of it because. You know, I use it like once every month. I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess I could post there.

Starting point is 00:22:28 So this is actually my most, my mostest favoriteest news of the week. Dude, that was bad English, bro. Sorry, it's a radcast. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Get careful. I gave me an amen. Hey, Pepsi and Boston beer are partnering to make hard Mountain Dew. Like Hard Viagra Mountain Dew?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Mike's hard lemonade. Mike, it's a hard Mountain Dew. So not by that. It does not give you. Mountain Dew does that to me anyway. I can't drink it. Soft drink, more like a hard drink. There you go.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Wow. Mountain don't do that. You know what I mean? Man, this is close to a redneck margarita, which is just tequila and tequila and mountain dew. Oh, yeah. Wasn't Mountain Dew originally made? Isn't there something about how it was originally made to mix with moonshine or something like that?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yes. So that's the... It makes sense to me. I'm going to have one. I'm going to have one. I'm going to have one. I'm probably the only one. I'd have one case.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Yeah. Turns your mouth. One of those in like 11 ultras or something. Sure. Mix them together in a bucket. PJ. It's a bathtub. There's some mountain, some watermelons in there.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Oh, be perfect. The mix of will balance it out, though. Wait, okay, does it taste, like, is it supposed to taste more like liquor or, like, you said Boston beers? That's hard Mountain Dew. I think it's supposed to be like one of those, like a hard lemonade slash Mountain Dew. Hey. It's just funny that everything is hard, like hard liquor. Hard Pepsi, hard.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Dr. Pepper. Is everything just going to be? Everything's having an injection. The adult experience is just pure escaping. Like anything we do now is just like in pursuit of getting drunk at like, let's go to the movies. What do you want to do? Get drunk. Let's go to the football game.
Starting point is 00:24:29 What do you do? How can I take my mind off how depressing my life is. I was just like you can tell things are going great right now because they're just adding alcohol to everything. Hard milk. Exactly. Yeah. Eggnong, I guess. I go.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Fair enough. Yeah. Escapism. We live in a world of escapism. Yeah. We do. And finally, AMC says it will start. accepting Bitcoin
Starting point is 00:24:52 slash Dogecoin as payment. Dogecoin, really? Some kind of cryptocurrency. I laughed at that because I read an article that it opened with, yeah, the majority of our shareholders love that, like love Bitcoin. And it was like flashback to earlier in the year with the like all the AMC people like buying just like outrageous amounts of shares. And like, yeah, the majority stakeholders probably some like 20, like.
Starting point is 00:25:21 like 21-year-old and like a, yeah, it's Daniel. And if you rode, and if you got out the right time, you made money. Yeah, it's all these, all these, uh, you're dying to do that. These Rediders. It's a really long one, too. That's good. I was like all of it going out. That's good.
Starting point is 00:25:40 You don't want to have flush. That's for sure. I've got to have full flush. Yeah. No efficiency toilets here. Yeah. But, uh, did anyone buy any aims to you when it was up, down and around? I've got it on my watch list for some reason because, I mean, that's well over by now, right?
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah, that and the GameStop thing. I don't know. You never know. I bought Dogecoin. Yeah, I still have it. Yeah, well, yeah, I do too. I cashed out a couple times. I've been on the right side of a couple of theirs.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Really? Yeah. I bought some with EOS, you know that one? Uh-uh. Yeah, I don't get that one. I bought some of that one in it. I've cashed out once. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It's back to where it was. So I also, did you, did you, the Shiba Inu coin? No. I bought some of that, too. I've like literally. like seven million of those. Right now I'll own is Ether and Ether, which is pretty legit, kind of right behind Dick. Ether and Doge is the only thing I've held on to.
Starting point is 00:26:30 But XRP, guy at our office, Callan, who's, he's a geek on all this stuff. He knows way too much about it. And he's told us about XRP. And I kind of, I bought that pretty early, it made some money. I'm sitting on it, but it's going back. It went down like everything else last couple months, but now it's gone up like 25% this week. Ripple, XRP. Ripple, yeah. Yeah. To be clear, that Shiba, you knew, I didn't mean to make it sound like it was worth a penny.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah. It's like 0.0,000. Yeah, that classic. This is not financial advice. I have like $7 million of it, and it's like $5. He saw Avengers 7 with a Shiba, you knew coin. But that's such a wild wild list because like you can buy it at 0.001 and if it goes to a penny, you can make like, you know, $1,000 on $5.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Like, it's like crazy. Yeah. Or, you know, a lot more if you put in a thousand. Or you buy it and it shits the bed and then you lose all the money. I know. But that's why you put in as much, it's kind of like gambling. It's gambling. Let's be clear.
Starting point is 00:27:28 This is not investing. This is gambling. Yeah. You put in, I put in a couple thousand on a few and did all right. Just say that. You don't want to do more than you're comfortable losing. Exactly. This is true.
Starting point is 00:27:42 That's the disclaimer. That's what my bookie told me. Yeah. Also known as my Robin Hood associate. it. It is basically gambling though, right? Yeah. Oh, it went up.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Why? I thought it was interesting when I got an email. It said, Bookie at Robinhood.com. I thought that's just a, you know. Yeah, that's weird. Oh, my God. Investment platform.
Starting point is 00:28:03 There's owning it. Planet Money has a great, like, whoever, the guy who runs their TikTok account is brilliant, but he made a TikTok on, like, stocks and, like, crypto and stuff. And he was like, yeah, stocks are like a really great way to, like, invest in things. Like, it's really stable.
Starting point is 00:28:19 It just like promotes growth and you can tell what's going on. And someone's like, I'm going to buy a thousand of these of this because the, because the, uh, the ticker symbols, but. And the next guy was like, I'm going to buy a thousand because of this guy because he likes it. And the next guy was like, yeah, I want to do that too. And the guy's like, wait, wait, you're not supposed to do it like that. You're supposed to do it unlike companies you trust. He's like, I like the name, but.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And he's like, and he was like, oh, man, this doesn't work. It's fun. It's a good description of what. happens early in the year. I don't participate, but just hearing you guys, the diversity of the currency, the names, like XRP, that sounds like a type of Jaguar car, where it's like ether that sounds like, it's pretty hard. It sounds like plasma or some bodily food, you know, and then all this dog stuff, it's like for
Starting point is 00:29:05 babies, right? Yeah. It's all very silly. You're a baby. It's for babies. Yes. I will be when my Benjamin button, he sets in. I think I'm going to make a crypto coin.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I call it called the Radcoin. I mean, why not? Why not? Yeah. Can you do you? Everyone else is doing it. You guys want to get on it? I've got it.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Get on the ground floor. I'll sell it to you for a dollar or coin. All right. 0.001. Okay. But you got to buy at least $20,000 worth. Yikes. So that I can invest in making it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 So you can take a class to figure out how to do that. Yeah. We're going to mine it in here. We're just going to dig right through the bottom of the floor. Sure. Literally the ground floor. Yeah. I don't understand how it all work.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I mean, I'm either not smart enough. but it's like blockchain. I understand like in theory, but like it's all a bunch of bullshit. Yeah, I don't understand. Or someone listening, it's not bullshit. It's the future of currency. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:58 That's a gambling aspect, though. You're like, I did a couple dollars. Yeah, I don't get it at all. It's like betting on cricket. Like, I don't understand how it works, but. When smarter than people than me that I trust, tell me to buy something, I will buy, you know. Sure. Tell them to buy something right now.
Starting point is 00:30:16 She bet you know. Wait, so now this is financial advice? Oh, yeah, hey, I want to put the aster. Take no advice on the Radcast.
