Hey, all because of you. If you're listening, you heard that. It's because of you. We appreciate you. I saw that. We're ranked in the top 20 in 14 countries. Somehow, some way. All thanks to Chris Vegas. I want to, I think you should officially change your last name to Vegas. Chris Vegas.

See? I don't know. I'm not a big Vegas guy. I know. I mean, I know, I know, I know what you're saying. Yeah. It's, it's, it's less that you're a Vegas guy. He just, he's kind of, I don't know. It's, it's more intriguing.

Keeps popping the charts like this. I may just need to change my name and go Hollywood, you know I know but it's like I think it's more like a not necessarily your Vegas Vegas it But you know people change their last name to something just kind of that draws attention and conversation So well, the problem is is if Chris gets famous, you know more famous than he already is There's already a famous Chris Anson Yes, that's the fact and I literallyson. Ah, yes. That's the fact. And I literally get someone reminds me of that probably once a week.

Today it was me. Ryan can attest to that. I don't know, two days ago. Oh yeah. Hey, Chris. The first reply getting introduced to us. Yeah, the third he was, it was somebody that had, you know, Chris has a good name. It's not like he had a worse name, but it was like,

he had a name that you can make fun of or more or less easier. Chris, Chris slapped back pretty quick. Yeah. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't get that in. So. I was like, hey, did you bring the wine coolers and lubricant?

Yeah, what was his name? Chris Hansen. No, but yeah. Oh, the catcher predator. Yeah, I know that name? Chris Hansen. No, but to catch a predator. Yeah, I know that. I know that. I can't remember whose name it was. That message. Yeah, that was just kind of funny.

He had that of a funny different name too. So anyway, nonetheless, what's happening in the world? It's been an interesting media week for sure. There's lots going on. And I'll say this, I don't know that this was part of our news, I'm pretty sure it wasn't, but if you've ever questioned the power of podcasting, you don't anymore. I mean, some of the numbers that have come out, they're staggering for the presumed influence it had on the election.

And I think you'd be, I don't know, living in Iraq or just not very intelligent if you didn't think it did have an impact. And then a study that, you know, we've been fault, we follow it's a podcasting study. We stay with all this stuff. Hey, when you do a show, you got to stay with the data. More Americans now listen to podcasts than those that don't. And so you might go, well, who, well, that's not, that's a product of who cares? Well, it's the first time that's ever happened in this study that's been going on for 10 years. So more people listen or watch podcasts

than those that don't. So I thought that was interesting. Yeah, I found an article from Adweek that says that Bloomberg's Ashley Carmen called this the podcast election. Candidates were prioritizing sit downs with popular shows and basically engaging mass audiences that podcasts have, driving conversations that influence significant segments

of the population of the American people. It says brand leaders, take note. Yeah, so if you're listening, give us a call. You need to be marketing on this show. Going up. Numbers are going up. Rankings are going up. And you know, it's just the amount of money that gets spent on advertising that doesn't work and what's been proven with podcast advertising, the trust, the affluency of the listeners, the buying power, all this stuff, all the data supports

it. So again, if we bring this up mainly, we're marketing business show. So it's relevant from that standpoint, even if it sounds a little self-serving, but it's not meant to. We'll take it. Well, and this article also says that from when Trump originally ran in 2016 to now, the number of people who listened to podcasts doubled in that time period. So it says now as of 2024 going into 2025, about 135 million people listen to podcasts

every month. Q. I mean that I'm one of those people if I think of the last four years of if do I listen to more podcasts? 100%. Absolutely. Yeah. And I would say we're blowing the lid off that and brought to you by our good friends at Branded Bills. That's letting the lid off right there.

Those are lid, lid blowing stats. I'm telling you. And look, I've got it on today. I got, you know, this isn't the radical green, but it's fall. So I wanted to put the fall colors on because they've got some amazing selection. I'll say this, they're one of our longest sponsors, best sponsors, they send us gear, whatever we want. And I almost ordered something yesterday. I get it in my email feed and you know I'm their customer when I'm like shopping going,

I know what I want my Secret Santa to get me for Christmas. See? See what I'm saying? Brandon Bills mom hat. But hey what else we got in the news today? So we have of course we have to talk about the fight. I watched it. I don't know if you guys watched it. Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. We had the group chat firing off. A lot of people were really favoring Tyson and it just did not deliver that way. All right. I'm gonna wait for the conspiracy theory. Chris, one of you two is gonna say that.

What were you gonna say that Chris? Did you think it was fixed? I got no conspiracy. I think it was a win-win for them. Yeah. Oh yeah. I did not think it was fixed in the moment, but I've seen a couple things

that I think you can make anything look like it. If you do slow-mos or slow things down, you can kind of do it that. Well, there was contract stipulations. Like he couldn't knock him out, I think in the first three rounds. Tyson couldn't knock Jake Paul out. Like someone put up a real detailed breakdown of the contract of the fight. Like neither one of them could try to lay a lay in a haymaker

in the first couple rounds. Yeah. Like if you did, then you would lose the money or get penalized. Some something like that. Right. I can see that. That made sense. A couple of things they showed were kind of led up on a couple of punches in the first couple rounds. I was like, yeah. And I didn't And I thought Jake, look, I thought if it was an even fight, Jake Paul would win because of his age. Yeah, me too. And he's a decent, just 30 years younger and he's been boxing for four years, whether he's a prize fighter or not, he's put a lot of work in and he's 30 years younger and Tyson's 58. I mean, you know.

And Tyson after the fight, you know, said, oh, I had eight blood transfusions and was in the hospital. It's like he was in pretty poor health and had to bounce back quickly to even make this happen. So. The fact that he could make it eight rounds, two minutes or not, I mean, there's,

he's in the 99 percentile to be at 58 to be able to do that. Yeah. With another professional athlete Well, it was interesting because it was the most streamed sporting event ever according to Netflix Had 108 million global views and 65 million concurrent live streams Yeah, you know why I knew that that was happening because it was buffering the whole damn time So I was gonna save that you know and and try not to wear them out too much. But I'm just going to go there because it it it was annoying for an hour.

It was the most of the preliminary fights. Once the big fight came on, it did stay on for the most part, which OK, good. But come on, man, you know, you knew that was coming. I mean, like you've known this is, you know, what's a five piece prior planning prevents piss poor performance? Come on, you had to be ready for that. And they weren't.

Well, especially after, like, there's been a few, this is, I think, like their third really big livestream and the first two went down for various reasons. Yeah, they're like, the NFL has two huge games on Christmas Day and they're getting all kinds of shit because people are like, it's one thing for these pre-fights to go down, it's another thing for my football on Christmas Day.

Not a lot of confidence that they can keep the network on. But either way, it shows you the draw that these kind of events happen. The power of influencers, the power of spectacle and sport still, it draws more than anything else. And I think you're gonna see, for good, bad, or ugly, more of these kind of, I don't know,

one-off fights like this. Like entertainment. It's becoming, I guess there's a component. I mean, look, they're still hitting each other. Again, someone with a higher pay grade than me that could judge whether it was fake or real. But it's just the spectacle. It's like world wrestling entertainment in a way.

But now you can get these superstars like, who do we want to see this Brad Pitt versus Tom Cruise. You know, like, tell me, yeah, tell me, but tell me what a million people wouldn't pay to see that. Do you know what it is? It's like that show that you spent MTV celebrity death match. Yeah. Remember that?

Yes. That was just random famous people and just fighting. Coliseum style stuff. But those were all like D list celebrities, weren't they? Well, that was all, no, it was all like animated with clay. Remember it was like not. Oh, I thought there was actually some kind of like D list people that did a fighting thing. I mean, I've seen that there. Like I've had buddies that were on like rally TV shows that I think boxed matches. Yeah. Okay. But no, the clay. I did not. I don't remember that. I don't know. Yeah. Who knows? But anyway, a lot of, a lot of number, big numbers, but get your network, right?

Nearly. Here's another article from this is coming from CNN, so take it with a grain of salt, but it says nearly 40% of young Americans getting their news from influencers. Many of them lean to the right. I'm not going to read too much of that summary, but I do think it's interesting. I get a lot of my information and my news from influencers or like freelance journalists that put their stuff up on social media? What about you guys? I think I do, but the only thing is, it's like how do we know it's like, I'm going

to talk out of both sides of my mouth here because I don't know that we believe that journalists are telling the truth anymore either. But in theory, they were supposed to track this stuff down, three sources, whatever it might be. Don't know if that still happens. And so you knew there was some validity there. You know, with influencers, like shit, both real and unreal can spread in a hurry. But I think everybody gets news from, I mean, 40% of young Americans, I mean, it's 100% of the people I know. I mean, I've, I've seen it, like somebody will come up with something and just post it on TikTok and people repost it thinking it's, you know, the gospel and

it's not even, you know, factual. And so I do think you have to be, I think you have to be very open-minded no matter what you believe or which side you lean to open-minded to like fact checking things or doing a little bit of research to see if what you're seeing on social media is true. I do think that this also played a role in the election with like, I think it skews mail from what I read. Yeah, and so young man voting for Trump you know, that are on social media where I felt like, you know, a lot of the election took place.

So I think it validates a lot of that. It's even says it on this article, the election influence. It says most influencers have no formal ties to news organizations and author blur the line between opinion and factual reporting. Hey, that's true. And look, we're a news show. We're an opinion news show. We say it, you know, and we're more hitting the headlines

than giving opinion on them than breaking news that may or may not be validated yet. Yeah. So there's a difference. Well, and I would even venture to say with the mainstream media, like, is it factual reporting? Because it's really a lot of opinion now. Right?

Exactly. Yeah. Like, look at The View or CNN, even Fox, all of them. There's obviously bias in underlying messaging being pushed and opinion. But if anything, I think you have a lot of these independent journalists now that are great researchers, like real journalists, and getting these massive followings. Like there's one guy I follow, Ian Carroll, I think is his name, but he's one of these guys

that has dug super deep in, he was looking like political contribution campaign donations, right? Yeah. But he puts it in a 90 second clip, boom, boom, boom, boom, shows the data, shows the actual, you know, facts where it's like, okay, we didn't have that four years ago. Yeah. But I do think- Facebook was definitely strong in 2016 election,

but I think it was more advertising on Facebook, where now I think you have, like this says, more independent kind of free-thinking people that are just kind of going down the rabbit hole. Yeah, but I think mainstream media let the wolf in the hen house by putting so much opinion in their news coverage. So they, if they had stayed very in the middle, I don't, now I question if they ever were and I just wasn't paying as much attention, but let's pretend they were at some time. Their credibility might could hold this off for like the real news, but because they're so opinionated, why the hell not?

Can influencers come in and share news and share their opinion too, because it's all so, I don't know, painted with bias on one side or the other. So they've got no one to blame for themselves for this and to go, oh, well, this is not, how do you know this is based in fact? Half of what, three fourths of what you guys say on the air is opinion.

And I think a lot of it is urgency and access, right? Like a lot of these people aren't going to editors and having to do this and that. It's like, you know, you have a cell phone and you're on scene. You're the news, right? Oh, totally. And then like you said, access,

because I follow a page is called House and Habit, Jessica Krauss, she is an independent journalist. But she was invited both on RFKs to like his house to go to dinner like with his family and stuff. So she did a bunch of behind the scenes coverage. And then she got invited on the MAGA boat parade and she did a bunch of behind the scenes there. And she asked multiple times for access to Kamala's campaign and was denied. So she has like 1.5 million followers. And she provided a lot of back behind the scenes access

and humanized the candidates. Yeah. And even like local news, now a local news crew can't get ahead of a woman that's watching a house burn down, you know, on a street who's filming it live on Facebook or sending there. Now the news station just go, Hey, can you send us that footage? They throw it on the news. You know, if you go watch local news, half of it's, you know, smartphone feed, like whatever it is, because they don't have it because they can't keep ahead of it.

Oh, we were watching on the team We the something was going down at the QT with like 500 police officers the other day and we were like watching it on Tech talk going on well, it was live happening. Yeah It's it's wild for sure Pilots like filming. Yeah, I bet. I'll say this. I mean, this show is going to eventually sooner than later evolve to more of what we're doing here than the interview side. That's going to be a different thing.

So we're embracing this as what people want and how they want to get more news coverage and opinion. So especially with podcasting and new media and all that stuff, YouTube. So. Well, and in marketing and in business, there's so many different things going on. And one thing that we want to bring you guys is

the news and how people feel about things and market trends and business trends. So this next one is coming from Forbes. Coca-Cola did their iconic Christmas advertising campaign that they do every year and this time they used AI generated art and people are kind of in an uproar on X over it. If you click the link there you can see the video but they used AI to generate like the polar bears and the trucks and the humans.

I wonder, who's pushing back? The ad agencies that aren't getting paid to do it or are real consumers pushing back? If you look in... People on Reddit just complaining about the new AI Coca Cola ad. I'm so disappointed, Carol. It's out X. People are in like a full on uproar. They're very upset about it.

So here's what I would ask. So is AI, what's the difference between, is it because it's not real? Yeah. Because what if it was an animation? The ad is terrible. Okay. Is it?

It's so boring. What was it before? I'll say that. I don't care if they use AI, but the ad is so boring. Sawyer says the ad is terrible. Okay. Is it so boring? Okay. But was it before? I'll say that. I don't care if they use AI, but the ad is so boring. Sawyer says the ad is terrible. So I did not see the actual ad.

Maybe we'll watch it here and see how terrible it is. But if it's, hey, there's bad ads whether it's AI or not. Yeah, somebody on- I've made some of them. Good and bad. It is true. So people seem to be in an uproar. This comment says, Coca-Cola is red because it's made from the blood of out of work artists.

The blood. Wow. Yeah. That's going pretty hard. Yeah. So people, you know, feels painfully ironic that they're using the quote real magic as a slogan while making the fakest most talentless ad of all time alright I'm watching it may not be the best podcast I don't really get the point.

Like, okay, it's coming coming in Christmas is coming into town like Cheersing with coke or something. It does happen really fast It's it's it's not wonderful it feels like it's trying to be wonderful, but it's not Like sympathetic or something like this guy, you know, the cheesy guy at the end, hold the coke up. I mean, he's, he might as well be AI. Yeah. They've been better off getting an AI guy for that

than maybe don't doing real with everything else. But it's, I think I'd have more issue with just the ad itself than necessarily the day I was used. But AI is going to get dragged along for the process I think I'd have more issue with just the ad itself than necessarily the day I was used, but AI is going to get dragged along for the process when the commercial kind of sucks and is cheesy and doesn't really make a point. Yeah, you know, people were pretty outraged online. There's not one positive comment.

And I get it, but people also will find something to comment about. They will, but you know, I did bring up a couple of months ago if there be a backlash at some point, because people don't like fake shit. You know, like they want there to be a semblance of real. Whether or not this is an example of that. But I do think you will see, especially, this goes back to crappy commercial.

So it's kind of easy to target. You can't slap real magic at the end. True, true. I never liked that tagline anyway. I panned that three years ago or two years ago when it came on. I wanted to go back to those archives. Real, real magic. Come on, man.

I get it. It's not even real soda in that can. Oh. It's got real, real bad ingredients. Stop and read the labels. Wake up and read the labels. It's my good friend, Jen Smalley, who's on the Radcast Network would say, you don't want to read that label.

I started reading it. I had to back off my cokes. I drank more energy drinks. They're just so much better for you. Get out of here. No, there's only one that's better for you. That's X-Bone-It. X marks the spot right there.

You see it? This is why you gotta watch. You gotta see the X's up here. X is marking the spot to healthy, clean energy. My kombucha this morning is not X. It would be clear if it was because it's clear of everything you don't need and only what you do, which is that zing that I have that's why I'm

always a little peppier in the studio because you know I get that zing zing going from all kinds of things right Chris Yes Hollywood Chris, that's what we call them Hollywood Chris. I can't stop thinking I feel like I'm on the movie set. Every time I look at Chris on the show today. HWC. I feel like I'm rehearsing, you know, and I'm the talent actor, or talent judge, whatever. Yeah, I feel like I'm being judged. You are.

Yeah, he's either judging like, he's either like a Wimbledon judge or a Hollywood director. I'll do both. Yeah, exactly. Chris is for hire for such duties as those. He needs no job, but he would do one of those if he really wanted to. He doesn't need a job because crypto is doing so well.

Yes, it is. That's a good segue into Bitcoin, eh? I finally got my cracking setup My that's the name of the app Cracking I think familiar with that one. Yeah Yeah, I already had it on my phone and I'd already gone through all the bullshit but I just had to like verify one more thing so I was like boom and they had the the auto feature the

Auto-drop so I'm back in the game people. There you go. Back in the game. That XRP did be right. I bought that like day one and that went up like 30, 40%. Like last week. I love this. See, I love Trump got elected.

Like everything like this kind of, you know, like this is the shit look. I made like 20 grand on like Dogecoin. I'm 2000. I'm just mad because two, three weeks ago when Bitcoin was at seventy five thousand, I didn't buy any announced at ninety four thousand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's sitting.

It's sitting steady above ninety four. It's holding. So what's any any tips this week for our audience, Chris, on the crypto, including me. Do you get into it now or do you wait for it to drop? This is not financial advice, but I would get into it now. It's like you're too late to wait for it to drop. It may go down, you know, 87, 85. But there's no better time than the present.

It usually and here's a tip for the audience. They're usually a big pump with Thanksgiving, an average of a 10% climb over Thanksgiving holiday. So 10% is more than you're making annually, probably at your bank. So if you want to make 10% this month, jump in. The hardest thing that I find with it is knowing, okay, And the meme coins are cool. Like Doge probably ha we'll, we'll stick around just as just at least for this administration with it being

called Doge. Uh, but like the meme ones, you don't know what's going to be high or not. They're not, they're really based on a hundred percent sentiment. It's really like, can you make some short, short cash? But some of them are you know are based on legit technologies that could like blow up based on the tech behind it And that's what I'm having a hard time deciphering I read the descriptions and I can do that but trying to keep up with what okay is this You know like predicting, you know, which ones are on there. So that's why I need Chris to tell me which ones

I got the cheat sheet. Any other tips, any of them that are guaranteed or possibly, everything's possibly guaranteed. If you compare it to like the stock market, like blue chip stocks, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, those are your big boy blue chips, safe.
