Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to The Radcast, a top 25 worldwide business podcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of The Radcast. It is Friday, January 26th, 2024. Our weekly business and marketing news of the week. And any small talk that Chris and I want to get into
Starting point is 00:00:32 that'll make you laugh, make you smile, make you high-five your best friend or run around the house naked five times. I don't even know. What's up, Chris? How you doing, my man? Hey. Quite the intro today.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I know. Fired up. Do you have a couple extra energy drinks this morning on my seventh one i'm good i think i'm on number two number two my resting heart rate's like 44 so i can hit i can pound two monsters and get to 58 and you're like normal yeah man it's, it's good. How's hot Miami? Hanging in the vacay lounge, baby. Oh, yeah. Sunshine and 80 degrees. We're very lucky.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Oh, my God. Just shut up. It's a rainy 48 degrees here or something in South Carolina. You'd think we're in, I don't know, Maine or something or Seattle. Yeah. But not so nice here. Hope everyone's doing great wherever, whenever, however you are. Hopefully your football teams did well in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:01:34 My Bills lost. Josh Allen disappointed a little bit. Didn't quite get down. Mahomes is just the beast. Getting over that KC slump. So we'll see where things go. Got Baltimore, Kansas City,
Starting point is 00:01:48 and then Detroit. The up-and-coming Detroit. Never thought I'd say Detroit winning the NFC championship game. Doesn't take a while. I know people. Yeah. San Fran and the Detroit Lions.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Baltimore and Kansas City. The ratings have been through the roof. NFL is more popular than ever. So hopefully you've placed your ads if you're a big brand on all the upcoming playoffs. I will say I don't turn the channel much when it's like NFL playoffs. So probably a good signal to have those ads running. But make sure you have a jingle. The TV is the radio. The TV is the radio.
Starting point is 00:02:26 The smartphone is the TV. Because you're looking down at your phone while the ads are playing. So you need some iconic music or some kind of jingle going on your TV spots. There's your little tip of the day. The TV is the radio. Who would have thought? I love that. Put on a T-shirt.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Yes. The TV is the radio. Who killed the radio who would have thought i love that put on a t-shirt yes the tv is the radio who killed the radio star the tv because now because i think about it your phone your head's down we're all down looking at the phone you're scrolling but the tv's playing it's in the background it's ambient a bit but that so that tune and that jingle has ever been more important because that'll still stick in your head. Even when you're like scrolling, call me if you really want the good stuff brands. Let's be honest. You won't hear this kind of news. Your 30 year old account rep doesn't know that shit. No, you know, social media manager doesn't know that they don't understand that. Anyway, we got some good news today balance yaga did i say
Starting point is 00:03:27 that right balance yaga yeah bro yeah bro peak chic they've got a 5600 snowboard leads a fury of luxury ski wear and accessories this comes to us from our good friends in hollywood the hollywood reporter it's an article from January 20th by Ingrid Schmidt. We appreciate Ingrid. I like that. Look, when I know who the author is, I'm going to give you some credit. Discusses the trend of luxury ski wear and accessories highlighted at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City. It showcases the high-end fashion in ski resorts featuring products from brands like Bonsiaga,
Starting point is 00:04:12 Gucci, and Dior. Key items include that $5,600 snowboard and luxury apparel worn by celebrities like Rihanna and Justin Bieber. The piece illustrates the merging of luxury fashion with ski wear marked by celebrity endorsements and high price tags i do see a lot of celebrities like rocking some goggles like ski goggles the sunglasses that are like big and ridiculous have come back that look like ski sunglasses i know in hot miami anything to do with skiing is probably not exactly up your alley chris you've seen these no oh yeah 100 there's a lot of skiers down here, actually. I heard some guys in the sauna talking about it. But, yeah, this is a weird trend to me. I feel like it's a little bit of... There's a lot of posers out there, I think, for skis, like skiing.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I don't know. It feels like one of the remaining poser sports. I've got my ski outfits on or my ski brands or whatever like in my pictures but i haven't hit the slopes in 10 years i was gonna say there's a lot of people i know that go out to colorado and literally they'll airbnb like really sick houses just to go shoot content in ski clothes yeah there is no skiing there's in the hot tub Yeah, there is a ski club. And we're never doing any skiing. No skiing.
Starting point is 00:05:24 They're just in the hot tub. I just saw, man. Yeah. We've stopped doing the actual activities. We're just there for the photos. Yeah, I'm out here doing some boarding, man. But in between boarding, I'm getting these shots in. Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:05:36 With my model girlfriend in the hot tub. Yeah. Yeah. They got their ski goggles. They're Balenciaga. Ski board behind them. Hey, season's coming, baby. Everybody, look out on your feed. You're Balenciaga ski board behind them. Season's coming, baby.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Everybody look out on your feed. You're going to see a lot of... But the point here is luxury is not dead. Luxury brands are still alive no matter what you think. And expanding. I still think luxury brands have a ways to go in the automotive world. I feel like that's the next big thing. There's an article a year later. We talk about Apple cars and stuff. the Motive world so like that's the like next big thing yeah there's an article here later we talk
Starting point is 00:06:05 about Apple cars and stuff but like you could see uh Louis Vuitton car I thought I've seen maybe Rolls-Royce did something with Hermes at one point like their maze orange leather seats or something but you the old days just like the Eddie Bauer edition yeah the Explorers and stuff I would even love to see those come back oh yeah the Eddie Bauer Explorer man Yeah. The Explorers and stuff. I would even love to see those come back. Oh, yeah. The Eddie Bauer Explorer, man. Oh, you got that premium Explorer if you had the Eddie Bauer, man. Written, hand sewn into the seats. That was a pretty good partnership.
Starting point is 00:06:37 That co-branding right there. Back to the football. We went off it briefly. So, we think this is going to happen sooner or later. This comes to us from TheMessenger.com. The possibility of a pay-per-view Super Bowl with streaming picking up and the popularity
Starting point is 00:06:53 and just the overall viewership and opportunity for revenue. There's the possibility that one day the Super Bowl will be pay-per-view. I could totally see a world where that happens, and I think everybody that's listening or might think,
Starting point is 00:07:10 God, we're going to have to pay for the Super Bowl. I would never pay for the Super Bowl. Here's the deal. You don't really want to pay your cable bill either. Would you rather have a la carte opportunities to order what you want, or would you rather pay $120 a month for a lot of shit that you don't watch?
Starting point is 00:07:27 That's true. We're moving to a world... Because I'll watch the Super Bowl, but I'm not going to watch... I don't need the NFL package for $120 a month. Dude, I'd probably pay $100 pay-per-view for the Super Bowl. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I'd pay $100 for... If I didn't... Like, again, I haven't been spending unnecessarily money on channels that I didn't want or need. Would I fork out
Starting point is 00:07:52 $1,500 here and there for extraordinary, like, sports events or whatever it might be, fighting, those kind of things? Sure. When Jake Paul
Starting point is 00:08:02 actually fights somebody and gets his ass kicked, like, I'd probably sign up for that. Yeah. When the promoters decide he's going to things. Sure. When Jake Paul actually fights somebody, he gets his ass kicked. Like, I'm probably signing up for that. Yeah, when the promoters decide he's going to lose. Yeah, nah. He's a pretty good fighter, man. He's actually surprisingly good.
Starting point is 00:08:13 No, yeah, he's legit. He's got skills. He's got skills. I don't know where he would fall. I think if he fought like a real contender. But he's definitely no punk, I'll tell you that. He trains hard. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I get a lot of respect for him. You get in the ring, man. I'll tell you that. He trains hard. Yeah. I get a lot of respect for him. You get in the ring, man. I respect anybody that gets in that damn ring. You can get your head taken off and he gets there with some pretty legit dudes. I joke. I actually have a lot of respect for him. But the Superbowl thing would be fascinating to see what and how many they actually get.
Starting point is 00:08:40 We'll see where it goes. It can be a lot of money. Let's just say that. And sticking down the pay-per-view line this surprised me i grew up watching wrestling and it was huge when i grew up little kid wwe nwa rick flair all that stuff signed a five billion billion deal with Netflix. I thought maybe wrestling was going to go on the decline at some point. But now we know it's still increasing. And there you go. $5 billion to be on Netflix. They get access to that audience,
Starting point is 00:09:20 and it's going to be one of the first live sports on Netflix. They were really one of the first reality tv in a way man those wrestling fans brother diehards they are it is growing i just thought it eventually was going to like ground out yeah i always i grew up watching wrestling i was like once i realized it was fake i was like when i was like 27 when i realized it was fake, when I was like 27, when I realized it was fake, I finally gave in. In my dreams were crushed. Yeah, it was crushed.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Ric Flair was like, Ric Flair, Sting. It was Sting. He was on one of the other channels. He went WWE a few times. It was like Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man, Randy Savage. You know all those dudes hanging in Tampa. Like, my boys will be at the bar with Ric Flair on a Saturday. They're like, whoo!
Starting point is 00:10:11 I don't know how some of them are still. They did all the roids and everything else in the 80s and drank hard. And now they're still 75. They're still drinking. He still goes hard, dude. Hanging out with Tyson, smoking weed. Party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:25 It's like, he does have a million products, Ric Flair and the Hulk Hogan. They both have maintained some amount of health and semblance of consciousness. Think about how many. Dude. You talk about getting concussions. These guys are jumping around back in the day when they didn't have any of that. So they still have their wits about them. With the number of concussions they probably all have had,
Starting point is 00:10:46 there's no telling. Because that's fake. But it's still 300, 250-pound men jumping and diving and smacking each other. So there's still a level of athleticism that takes place. But it is like the world's greatest soap opera now. I don't know. The storyline's got stupid at some point.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I started watching. I figured it would die off. But but sure enough 250 million global subscribers to netflix will now get raw live raw i mean i have a maybe if things kept completely south i'll just be the voice of wrestling i think you'd be great at that you could be a ring announcer ring announcer or something like i gotta maybe i need to like my, like, vocals a little more. Like, having some, like, honey and what are those, the drinks that people drink? Like a hot, yeah, a hot tea and some honey. I don't know, like, what singers have to nurse their vocal cords.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Let's be honest. It's probably not gonna happen. I'm gonna drink my Bud Light next. Does that fit in?

In other news, Solo Stowe's viral Snoop Dogg partnership fails to spark up sales. Hey, I see what they did there with that headline. Marketing Dive brought to us. So I saw this all over LinkedIn. And here's the first thing I
Starting point is 00:12:17 thought. Number one, they got a lot of attention for this, a lot of top of mind awareness. And if they truly did this campaign to get immediate sales, then it was a failure to start. This is a brand building. If you ask a hundred people six months ago, if they had heard of solo stove, and then now you did that same thing, I guarantee you it's two X. My mother-in-law bought one of these things from this whole campaign and she's not a Snoop Dogg person, but she heard about it and saw the news, and she checked it out, and they were wanting something for their patio. So let me tell you, number one, if that was the metric, it was failed marketing for the metric they were using. They doubled probably their awareness in
Starting point is 00:12:58 the market, their top of mind for when someone might consider this in the future. So I read this, they go, oh, people got lost their heads over not meeting marketing objectives. Let me tell you, top of mind awareness means something. It has value because they're not everyone's buying within the 30 days the campaign ran. Brand over time, sales overnight. Just telling you that top of mind awareness
Starting point is 00:13:23 is a lot higher for solo stove. Whether they bought one immediately or not, everyone needed a solo stove. But now when they get in the market or maybe they get into camping season or outdoor season a little bit more, I think you judge this campaign over six to 12 months, not two months of sales in the fourth quarter. It's stuck in my mind. I was at Costco, and I don't know if it was that brand. But I remember I was seeing a smokeless stove, and I did a little bit more of a double take
Starting point is 00:13:55 than I definitely would have ever done before. Yep. Because I don't need one. But now I'm like, oh, now I know. Exactly. Thank you, Snoop. Snoop, Snoopaloop. Uncle Snoop snoop snoop a loop uncle snoop could you have a smokeless stove in your condo is it totally smokeless is that a great idea for the
Starting point is 00:14:13 balcony i've had something similar to these things you're still using i think like a liquid fuel yeah but we have the balcony so can i sell you a little i get down with that see up see i'm selling it to you snoop dog indirect sales there we go see get that marketing a chance it takes time and look the creativity was out of the out of this world so i don't want to see creative ideas like this go into shitter because people don't have the right objective set up for their marketing campaigns right this is a brand play this is not a sales overnight play So if you want to do sales overnight, you should have done, okay, $100 off or half off every single, something major promo along with it.
Starting point is 00:14:53 But this was a brand awareness play. Get your metrics right on the front end. I'll tell you who's got their metrics. That's Taylor Swift. Swifty. The Bills playoff game with Kansas City. So the Bills' unique culinary offering. They had this at the game in anticipation of the game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Announce special menu items inspired by Taylor Swift, who's become a regular. The menu features bad blood waffle fries, a two-foot boat of spiced waffle fries with toppings representing the Bill's Chiefs rivalries, and a karma quesadilla. The article also touches on Swiss frequent attendance to the games and her relationship with Kelsey, including those engagement rumors. Look out.
Starting point is 00:15:43 So the Chiefs ended up winning, unfortunately. My boy, Josh Allen, didn't play quite as good as Mahomes, but I think he needed some help on the defense and other things. Nonetheless, you know, I get to build some credit here, though. It's fun playing off of built-in, established, Taylor Swift themes that are already going on. Borrowed interest. Borrowed interest. There it is.
Starting point is 00:16:11 That's it. Right there. I was waiting for it. Teach them, baby. Teach them, baby. Borrowed interest. I don't know. I'd like to see the food sales.
Starting point is 00:16:19 How many bad blood waffle fries? This thing sounds pretty good. I'm pretty hungry. I'm hungry right now. Yeah. I'm down right now. Yeah. I'm down. Yeah. Is it over now
Starting point is 00:16:31 cheeseburgers? Isn't that her latest hit? It's so funny. That's like her latest hit. Is it over now? And she's like knee deep in a heavy relationship. I'm always like, oh God, is this about Travis? They didn't even broke up yet. I had a little bit of shade coming at me from from when we talked about his jersey sales and saying they're gonna break up so all right swifties those 50s will get you man
Starting point is 00:16:56 like that you don't mess with the swifties no i do like this. I like nostalgic campaigns, especially the ones that I remember. The Silver Bullet. That is Coors Light. Silver Bullet train returns for this year's Super Bowl with seats for fans. Coors Light is reintroducing its iconic Silver Bullet train for this year's Super Bowl after a 12-year hiatus. Part of the Made to Chill campaign features a modernized version named the Coors Light Chill Train.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Using CGI, the ad will digitally insert 100 fans into the train's cars, promoting user-generated content on social media. Coors Light plans to release a slowed-down version on YouTube to allow viewers to explore the passengers and discover surprise guests. There you go. It's tapping into that nostalgia, the silver bullet.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I was sitting here doing math in my head of like, how old was I 12 years ago? Because I remember these ads. 21, 22. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. They've guaranteed to be as cold as the Rockies with that can that would change colors.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yes. That never quite worked that can. That would change colors. Yes. That never quite worked that great, I don't think. I was always like, look at the can. The idea was great. Great idea. Execution. Yeah. Silver bullet.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I like it, though. Especially if they pull the CGI off right. We'll see what happens. I'll be watching that Super Bowl going, where's the silver bullet? So we'll see how it goes. I do want to bring up one important side thing, Chris, and that's our sponsor. You're sitting in the vacay lounge.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Vacay, V-A-Y-C-A-Y. Take a vacay.com. Premium plant-based products delivered right to your door. We've got chill gummies for our latest mushroom line. Look, I'm telling you, everybody needs to take the edge off here and there. You want to do it naturally. You want to do it without getting blazed, but you want to feel good.

Starting point is 00:19:00 Also got my favorite sitting next to me, the sleep gummies. Take a half. When you're sitting there laying in bed, you can't quite get to sleep. Take a little half. Read a little bit of the book. 30 minutes later, you're out. But do what I do. When I think I'm going to have trouble, I just pop one like 30 minutes before bed.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And there you go. All natural. Sweet treat. Yep. No buzz the next day. No head fog. It's like I wake up refreshed. It's one of our best reviewed and one of my favorite products.

Starting point is 00:20:07 Takeavacay.com. Hey, if you didn't listen, hit the back button. Tanner Chidester dropped a lot of knowledge on sales, coaching, marketing in 2024. Very insightful guy. Young guy. He's been really successful. Like Tanner a lot. I've had him on a couple times. Then next week, if you really want to get the sales lingo, how to advance your sales in 2024, Brian Tracy's written over 30 books.
Starting point is 00:20:32 He was amazing. He's an author and really a great speaker and very insightful on sales and really the psychology of sales. There's a lot of stuff I learned a lot. I was like taking notes during the whole episode mentally and figuratively, like circling things on my notes page. So check that out next week. Brian Tracy, we're all about bringing value here on the Radcast. A couple of holidays that I'll bring up that we don't want you to miss, particularly January 28th, is International Lego Day, my friend.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I didn't have four boys, four young boys. particularly January 28th is international Lego day. My friend, I didn't have four boys, four young boys. I'm telling you, I still, to this day, we'll occasionally step on a Lego in my house and go, ah,
Starting point is 00:21:13 what the, and there's very few things as painful as that, but I write it off because look, it said, I'm like in video games, which they do play. I'd rather them do be doing something creative with their hands. And Legos are cool.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I'll get into it a little bit. I agree. We got more Legos. I should own stock in that shit, I'm telling you. We got boxes of canisters. We have four kids that are all into it. There you go. And then January 34th, this has really warmed my heart,
Starting point is 00:21:43 literally and figuratively. Inspire your heart with art day chris i want you to paint something for me on the 31st yes i got you yeah international lego day and inspire your heart with art we didn't want you to miss those key holidays what you got planned this weekend, my friend, anything exciting? I've got an event with a friend of mine. I'm not, I don't really know much about it. I just, you're just going to show up plus one.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yes. Yeah. Just being a good, it's a, I'm filling in for my buddy with his wife. He's out of town for work. So he asked me if I would go to this event with his wife. So we'll see. Would you'll see would you buy would you buy an apple car if it came out i don't know i want to say no yeah unless it was super amazing but i just
Starting point is 00:22:38 i don't see apple coming out with a v8 with like 500 horsepower it would be electric it would be the electric car like whatever like the next iteration is but there's an article from bloomberg says they're dialing back some of the self-driving features because that was going to be the big thing and it was going to so it's going to launch in 2028 apple inc reaching a make or break point on its decades old effort to build a car is pivoted to a less ambiguous, ambitious, or ambiguous, design with the intent of finally bringing an electric vehicle to market. After previously envisioning a truly driverless car, the company is now working on an EV, that would be an electric vehicle, with more limited features. I love more limited features. with more limited features.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I love more limited features. I'm like, dude, we just talked about this, whether innovation is lacking just in the cell phones, where now you're cutting features already on the car. Yeah, exactly, on the car. Yeah, we're going to have a smaller steering wheel. They're like, guys, forget the extras, just get the car out. We need to get something on the market. Copy the bug design from 1984. We need to get something on the market. Copy the bug design from 1984.
Starting point is 00:23:47 We need a bug. I always vision an Apple kind of look like a bug for some reason. And that's not necessarily. Like a VW bug. Yeah. Maybe shaped like an Apple. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:57 That's too literal. But we'll see. I definitely don't picture it looking like a Cybertruck. No. Not a Cybertruck. That's what I want. I want a Cybertruck. No, not a Cybertruck. That's what I want. I want a Cybertruck, maybe. Cool.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Tension grabbing. You shoot that thing and it not explode. Hopefully the glass has been fixed since Elon did his test. But I just want to pull a Porsche at 4.2. Do the 0 to 60, 4.2, pulling a Porsche behind it. Yeah. It's insane. That's what I would get if I was going to get an EV.
