So I gotta go see my boy. And Ryan was stressing pre-show about. Well, I don't, it's in a spot now where I don't see it every time. So it's like, I lift my arm, oh, I got that one little block.

Yes, I'm going to California and Don't know if I want to get a tat long I'm here in California, I just want to do something more fun. I like the end result, but let's be honest, sitting in a chair, getting your arm cut up is not really a... Oh, true.

I got my California poppy, that was my last one. Yes. Jody, MrInkwells, go check him out on Instagram. Incredible artist who happens to be a tattoo guy. Anyway, how's everyone today? What's up, Chris? How's old Miami back in the saddle down there? We're good.

We're a little wet, a little wet this week. It's not exactly winter weather, a little humid. It's all good though. What's the climate? And I don't, and I mean more, not temperature, but Miami, the week of Christmas. Like what's the scene in Miami the week of Christmas? I mean, it's very festive. Yeah. I guess it's just, I always, even in Greenville, we get, we're cold here right now. You know, it's in the thirties at night. It's a little spicier, bro.

You got Cubans and Colombians and you know, you got a little, at least Navidad. It's a good, it's, it's a good vibe. There's a lot going on. Very festive. What's the temp today? Today, we're probably like 77 right now. It rained earlier. Nice. So, what's the temp today? Today, we're probably like 77 right now. Nice.

It rained earlier. It's nice. But a little humid, not much of a breeze. It's a beautiful day here. I'll be on the beach in three weeks with the vacay. So, you know. I can't say too much in case my kids listen to this. Supposedly they don't.

My wife doesn't really let them. Is it a secret? Because daddy has a potty mouth sometimes, or a lot of times. But, yeah, it's a secret. They don't know when or where so cool. If one of you is listening do not tell your other siblings But yeah, that's we give them a gift trip trip every year. Oh cool about experiences, right? Yeah, yeah got more shit than they know how to do it. So it's like let's go somewhere

Yep, so we'll be beaching it can't say the destination. Let it. So it's like, let's go somewhere. Yep. So we'll be beaching it. Can't say the destination. Let's just say it's tropical ish. And I haven't been having a Mai Tai and you know, a beer, maybe all at once with a Miss Hoffard. There you go. Yeah. I'm ready. Ready for next year to go on vacation. We don't have any money this year because we bought a house. Yeah, that'll do it to you. That will do it to you. But hey, that's the American dream.

You bought a house number two. Yep, there you go. There you go. Living it. What do we got going on today? So today we are gonna talk about the naughty and nice businesses in the United States. We're gonna mostly focus there,

but who was naughty this year? Who was nice? Who thrived? Who made money? Who was successful? And who is on Santa's naughty list? Yeah, so prerequisite to this, or just the cheat sheet,

we just kind of make it up as we go here, like the rules that we want. So we're classifying naughty and nice as sort of either they just did something really obviously stupid or maybe a bad year economically. And the nice list is more, okay, on the up and up things have gone well. And it's less, I don't know, judgment. Like, I mean, we could look, this is an opinion show, you know, take it, take it or leave it. But I think it's more like, okay, who's been successful. You don't have to like them. But has it been a good year for them? I have somebody on the naughty list and I might have to. They've been, they've had a successful year. Okay. Well, we could still be, hey,

we can be, I like to smack people down and then prop them up. You know? It's like, yeah, yeah, give it to you. Those people say, hey, be nice, give them the good news first. And I like to, you gotta push them down to bring them up. I have trucks. See? You know, you got to, that's how it goes. All right, Ryan, you wanna start off us off

with nice business or entrepreneur number one? Sure. I mean, I'm going to go out with the most obvious first. So nice being in this sort of position would be it's been a good year for them. And I'm just going to start with Trump. So Trump Inc. As a whole, in every business unit,

I can't speak to the financials. But let's just say, if you are in the halo of the Trump circle, it's been a nice year for you. You've won the presidency. We're about to get the economy back in order. You're seeing signs of that already, but but all the sort of atmosphere of Trump incorporated, I would say it's been a nice year for them. And you know, I happen to support most of that side.

So I'm okay, you know with my opinion being both nice and good for business overall. So I think it's hard to deny again. I like that. I'm a big sentiment guy, like the sentiment, the aura, all the sort of she around an entity. And right now it's at a very high level with all things sort of in Trump's camp. And that doesn't mean everyone likes the guy, obviously. The guy would have won like 80 to 20% if that were true. The numbers were closer than they should have been

purely because people voted for I hate Trump versus I want what's good for the economy. So I think that would be first and most obvious for me on sort of the, it's a nice year for them. It is interesting to despite some legal setbacks this year, Trump's overall net worth increased substantially. So it looks like his golf courses and resorts did about 400 million in annual sales this year. And his technology company, Truth Social went public,

that increased his net worth. It says that it contributed to an estimated net worth of 6.5 billion, placing him among the world's 500 richest individuals Thoughts Chris So I was Mike I'm fighting a cold over here everybody. I don't want to cough into the speakers Yeah, this makes sense. Like you said the aura the vibe. There's there's momentum. There's momentum behind it. And I think in business, specifically, when you have momentum, that snowball starts rolling. It's almost like it's compounding, but yeah, I would agree.

I think anything Trump related right now and will continue to probably. He won person of the year with time, which I think was a pretty interesting thing. And let me give you some action items from this. OK, so what does this mean? OK, what what's what are things in the aura around Trump Trump Trump? Trump Trump.

Word, word, word salad around Trump that you should take advantage of. What should you how should you take action on this knowledge? Well, let me start with one crypto. Crypto, I would not. I don't know if the whole year would go into the nice camp, but the signals and signs heading into 2025, you have regulation sort of softening for a better, for a better,

for lack of a better word and acceptance. You have all the major players, the you know, the mass adoption. Yeah, mass adoption and Trump supporting it and all his people that he's going to be putting in the higher positions around finance and all the stuff supporting it. So go hard on crypto. It's not going to go to zero and you're going to have ups and downs, but this is a legitimate and I think this is a time period where I think and I think there was

the gold rush of 40 years ago where you could make some money myself. I made some money, you know, but I knew I kind of got in, got out, knew it was temporary, especially once the travesty that happened happened. And but now I think you're going to look back at like this. This is the beginning of the, the big rush of the next, like what 10, 20 years, you know, like forever. I don't know. One of the newest wealth generational wealth building tools.

Yeah. And so I don't think you're gonna, in what I've seen, I've been in, I've been very vocal about this, been in a few grand here and there and up about, I don't know, 25, 30% in the last like six weeks. I don't think you're gonna see the 4,000% overnight stuff that you saw four or five years ago. I mean, you might, I'm not saying you won't ever.

You got to find that stuff. It's more that I think you're going to see this 20 to 30 different coins that are a dollar, 50 cents, two dollars, whatever, but have a real stable that 20 years now are two hundred dollars or what? And the compounding effect of reinvestment in all of that can make is I think going to outpace typical stocks. All the signs point that to me and so that's something if I would be thinking about is it within this halo of sort of Trump incorporated and the things around it that will go up. There's your nice tip and whatever. I know that was a long one, but I think that was needed more explanation.

Very good one. I think it's great because we have several other things on the nice list, including crypto, Nvidia, and our favorite entrepreneur, Elon Musk. Yeah, I mean. A big crypto guy. Biggie. Let me say this. We all know he's a smart guy. I think he's smarter than we even know he is.

The way he put his eggs in the Trump basket was brilliant. Now, I think he believed, I really do, I really do believe he believes in the policies and approach and like a lot of CEOs, the day that Trump took that bullet and he stood up, I think it changed a lot of people's minds, including Elon's. Said, this guy's not just for show.

He really means and really cares for this country. He's not a perfect man, he's a very flawed man, but I think Elon is smarter than we realize because he's helped push that and he's riding that train and his companies are doing well and he's super brilliant and SpaceX can't be denied. But I think he's even smarter than you realize because the last thing, if you told someone three years ago that,

that Elon was going to do what he ended up doing with Trump, would anybody have believed that? No. But you know what it means? It means the on smart enough to change. Your intelligence is only limited in the amount that you can or can't change. is only limited in the amount that you can or can't change. And even Elon Musk changed. One of the smartest men in the world. Yeah, I definitely agree with that. So he's a big winner and now,

like I think the richest man in the world right now, I think 50 billion or something, 500 billion. It's like, can you comprehend that? Can we get that? I need that on a number board somewhere. I'll go all the zeros. It's a lot. 454.5 billion US dollars.

Almost double what Jeff Bezos is worth and quadruple what Bill Gates is worth. This should have been the it must be nice list. You know. Let's turn to one that is doing something nice for our American dream kind of segment of audience. So the American dream, we all believe in it. We all think that it's definitely something that's achievable going into 2025.

But Walmart and what they are doing to bring healthy alternatives and breaking into the healthy food market and making groceries more affordable for Americans, they are on our nice list. Yeah. I'll tell you this. I went into a Walmart store a couple of weeks ago. And other than hating the checkout process,

the rest of the store, I was like, you know, surprised that even I look, you know, the last time I walked through like the clothes department at a Walmart and like it remotely was like, hey, that's pretty that's nice. Wall is doing it. I'm getting it together. You know, it's like I felt like they took the best to Target. And now they're slapping them in the face with what they did good and what they've always done, which is low prices, low prices

combined with a little bit of style and some random shit that you didn't need, but you end up buying, whatever playbook that is, discoverability on the aisles. I was like, all right, now if you could just get out this checkout line shit figured out, I might come here more often, but. Yeah. I'm gonna have to take a little trip.

Only thing I've ever bought at Walmart clothing was like real tree camo and like mossy oak. Well, let me tell you, let me give you another insight here of why they're where they're kicking everybody's ass. Amazon does not have same day delivery in Greenville, South Carolina. However, Walmart, I can get shit to my house if I'm doing a project or whatever. And I like to do random shit and I like it when I need it. Like I've been doing like, I'm turning in my dad, I'm doing all these little projects

and like I run out of spray paint or I run out of like some screws or something. I get on Walmart.com that shit is it my house in 45 minutes. This man, you don't want to take the e-bike down there and just pick that. If you want to impress Ryan, you have to have your delivery services figured out. He is the only person that I know who gets to, what did you have delivered one day? A gas can? He got a gas can delivered to the office. I don't even know why. I mean, it wasn't out of gas. Just cause you could. Yeah. It was hurricane prep. I am the world's worst of I gotta have it when I gotta have it.

I mean, this isn't like 5,000, oh, I gotta have a $5,000 watch or something right now. No, this is like, you know. Listen, I'm on your family Instacart order, so I see those five below. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Decorating a room. You never know what's going on. So funny.

Yes. So Home Deep. But here you never know what's going on. That's so funny. Yes. So, Home Deep. But here's where I was going with that. Walmart is even kicking Amazon's ass in delivery because everyday items and some things that I would have normally ordered from Amazon for their supposed two day, that's not always two days anymore, we know.

I'm getting within an hour from Walmart and with my Walmart thing, express delivery, discount, not much difference in cost. For same day, same hour delivery. Well, I will tell you that Amazon is on our nice list and they just got approval to break ground on a new distribution center coming to our area. So I'm hoping it's going two exits down from my house. So you know I'm gonna get that same day delivery. Well we'll see. We're gonna have to beat out one more. They're both on the nice list this year.

Yeah. Where else? Is that it on the nice list? I did put Taylor Swift on the nice list and on the naughty list but she's on the nice list because we can't deny her Eris Tour. She did make a lot of money. Made her a lot of money this year. Can't, can't, don't hate the player, hate the game. She also I will say she gave significant bonuses I read online to the people that worked for her on her Eriress tour. So that's. It's too bad that her endorsement didn't work out or help more. True. Sorry, had to go there. That's why she's on the naughty list. Yeah, I know. Hey, at least I mean, to be such a winner, she was such a loser.

I don't like Taylor Swift, but. I mean, look, she's fucking Taylor Swift. I don't give a shit what I say. The woman's making like she's raking in money. You know, we're raking leaves here. She's raking money. She's royalty. Yeah, she is. So I'll probably, I'll get some Swifty hate. I know that, but yeah, like just at least get your, you know, my lips are sealed. Get your policies right. My husband loves Taylor Swift. So it's a point of contention. That he likes her music or he likes her personally?

Well, OK, like in high school. In high school, he would listen to her music in his truck. And it was when her music was good. I mean, she's got catchy music. I don't. It's not my thing. But I can respect the fact that it's catchy music. I've let it ride on the radio before for a while.

Truth's coming out. I'm not seeking it out on my playlist, but yeah, you know, it was a brush it off. I don't hate it. Shake it off. Shake it off. Yeah. Yeah. Shake it off. I'm not immune to a catchy tune.

I'm new to that. I like good tunes, but I can, I can separate. Some people get so on thing. I might hate your politics and still like your music. Yeah, 100%. She still makes hits. Yeah, I respect that. All right, naughty list.

Ryan, who's on your naughty list this year? Oh, hmm. Anyone that endorsed Kamala. Any business. Even Bezos was smart enough to not let the Washington Post get egg in their face. You know, it's like you didn't let them endorse them because he didn't want to be a loser. Yep.

So, you know, I mean, insert lists here. And I think we forget quickly because the news cycle, I'm bad about this. I mean, our shows news and like one week we talk about one thing, the other very few things carry forward in the news cycle. But I'm not forgetting what Bud Light did. You know, I come on man, you know, with those cans and and it's less that I am getting on the stool of judging them for the actual action as a

marketer, as a brand guy. I'm getting on it from the, how the hell do you not know who your audience is? Like what the hell are you doing? Like to not know who your customers are and how many people you're pissing off to do something that you thought was making a stand on something that most people don't even fucking agree with. It's like, come on, send them all the way

to the bottom of the naughty list. They're getting coal. Yeah, you go to the land of misfit toys with no pass out. Speaking of toys, Mattel on the naughty list for that porn site on their packaging. Yeah, definitely on there. You're down there. That's just a stupid list. Naughty list, whatever. Come on. Toyota on the naughty list.

Yeah, I did. This is sort of, they've done a good job of like trying to make this fly under the radar. Chris, do you want to talk about this one? Apparently they lied and faked some safety tests that they claim they passed on seven of their vehicle models, which I think is rather important considering Toyota is driven by probably like one in four Americans. They did a test on Roblox and they thought that was good enough. They got it in the metaverse. And did a test. Like hey, yeah. Like I saw it was seven at the time,

was participating and they were like, that's good enough, right? If it worked, if it doesn't explode in the metaverse, it'd be fine on the roads. Yeah. I mean, give me a break. No, just as bad as Boeing. Boeing lost 350 million in quarter one of 2024.

Definitely on the naughty list. 350 mil. That's an IOU. That went on hold to that one. I mean, it's bad. My parents flew in this last weekend from California and my stepdad was like, oh, we're taking one of those dangerous Boeing planes home. And I was like, oh, God. Yeah. So I put it. That home and I was like, oh god. Oh god. Yeah.

So I put it, that's why I don't listen to anybody on there. I put on my AirPods, I put that shit on noise cancelling mode. I don't like, my stepdad was like looking up what the plane was that they were riding on. I'm like, I don't wanna know. Yeah, I mainly, I mean, mainly just not hear my wife and kids, but it works for your whole plane.

Oh man. I'm kidding, Nicole. Mainly just kids. Perrier Sparkling Water, Fancy Sparkling Water. They are on the naughty list for some contamination concerns. I mean, if you've tasted that stuff, it's contaminated all the time. Like, come on. I mean, you know, it's always.

And it reminds me of a song that I listen to when I'm working out, Banks Contaminated. That's like a jam. Let me just tell you, go listen to that. And, but yeah. Nice plug. Yeah. Banks is underrated.

So go listen to her. I like Banks. Yeah. Yeah. So definitely underrated, but I think anything on your naughty list, Chris, that we haven't named. I mean, the one I mentioned that's on the list, that's just bright out to me is just Diddy Diddy and his bad boy. Bad boy. Bad boy entertainment. Oh God.

Yeah. Is it bad boy entertainment? Yeah. Bad boy records, bad boy entertainment. What was your favorite Diddy song of all time? Puff Daddy. I still call him Puff Daddy, you know? I mean, I feel like he just featured a bunch of songs, just yelling at them. If he somehow gets out of this, I think he should go back to Puff Daddy.

I think Diddy's done. You know? He's probably gonna sit in prison the rest of his life, but if somehow he gets out of it, I think he should go back to Puff Daddy. He definitely needs a PR team if he gets out of it. I mean, how many, well, how many jars of baby oil was it? Like 9,000 cases in his house. Good, hey, stock up baby oil stock down puff daddy.

How is the Johnson and Johnson's make on all that? Who knows? What if it helped their sales or hurt them? The halo around him, man. I don't know how it gets any worse. It's like every week you hear somebody like a Jay Z something and I don't and I'm not following every detail of those stories It's just like it's like to gossipy like I love some decent some gossip that's in my realm is fine that's just sort of on the far edge of my attention span and But it does seem like every week there's like Whoever it's such-and-such actor who was tied to Diddy You know because who was who's the guy that uh one of the other actors it actor who was tied to Diddy, you know, because who was, who's the guy that, uh, one of the other actors that was majorly tied to him. I can't remember what his name is.

Not as popular as he used to be. Doesn't make for good, uh, audio to, uh, bring people up that we don't know the name of, but, uh, uh, insert old famous actor that, uh, used to be hanging around Diddy parties. Cause that's what it is. Every week it's like, used to attend the Diddy parties. Oh, like Leo DiCaprio. Yeah, he was one of them, but it's like another one too. Yeah. I don't know. But bring back Puff Daddy.

Bring back Puff Daddy if you make it through this. But if everything's true, then he needs to he needs to go away He's cooked it seems doesn't it just seem like it's it's a Pass the point of return You can only keep stuff in the dark for so long. It sounds like now you have more and more victims coming out more people kind of You know sharing their experiences. So I wonder what like an autographed poster of Diddy was worth like two years ago versus now is it going up or going down?

You know, sometimes this weird shit like when bad stuff happens, like those letters. Yeah. It's like, I think his is going to go down. Yeah, I think so. Do you, as we close out today, Chris, is, what do you think of this drone shit going on, man? You're the conspiracy theory guy. Kinda. So, but-

I don't know, man. So, putting the conspiracy theories to the side, what's, what does Chris's gut tell him? I mean, I would want to assume it's like our government, you know, doing some military testing, everyone's saying aliens and all this stuff. I don't know, man. I'm assuming it's military. I assume it's government. Yeah. You know, there's a theory that it's, you know, they're protecting us from, or looking for a radiation or radiation or whatever. Right. Yeah. Which sorry, you got a, saw your, usually gets into sit like this. So you have an opinion on this.

All right. He's going to pass on this. I, I just, it's somewhat, I just, it's getting too much to ignore. It's a story, you know, even as a business show, like it's just, it's kind of owning the headlines the last week. And so it's too big to sort of ignore. It's just bothersome that normally the government would at least acknowledge something. And like Trump came out and said, Oh, the government knows what it is. They know, you know, they seem to tell us at least high level what it is, and this would go away. But they're denying that they know what it is at all. I don't know if

that's a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, I don't think that initially, maybe trust and safety with the American people. I mean, yeah. And look, let's be honest. I mean, the outgoing administration, how much trust? If there's a trust meter. It's right on par with that. We're at zero or negative already. You know, we pardoned our son that we said we never would. And look, I'm OK with pardoning him son,

but just admit it that you were. Why didn't you just admit that you were going to four months ago or just say, no comment, but to fall on your cross to say, or your sword, whatever, like that you were gonna not do it. And so then all this to say the credibility and trust factor on drones or anything else is just like, what are you talking about?

And in today's technology with satellites and reconnaissance and all the stuff and technology that we do have, it gets me a little worried if we really don't know what this is. That shit can fly in our airspace at the volume that this seems to be happening. And at the volume that this seems to be happening. And. If I'm a criminal or something like I'd be emboldened by this. All right. Like I mean, if you can get away with it, if it's true, I think it's just somebody needs to put it to bed, like with what it is or isn't just one of these fucking things down and like, let's find out.

Chris, let's go, let's go tackle that thing man. I may are need some action. I Saw videos of people shooting at him. I'm surprised no one's taking one down yet Yeah, you would think so and I mean they say it's a leap I'm you know, I'm sort of kidding a little bit. It's illegal to shoot a drone supposedly, but If there's ever been a case I mean wouldn't you be a hero for. But if there's ever been a case, I mean, wouldn't you be a hero for all time if you got one of those things down? I can figure it out the mystery. And there was like a USSR like on the side of it or something

like a Russian logo on the side and you're like, you took it down or whatever. You go scary as shit and the folk hero took the drone down. This is like freaking space invaders. Like pew pew pew just shooting up in the sky hoping you hit a fucking rocket ship. Like what the hell?
