I said hallelujah to the 16th now Elphids, you're getting down on your knees, said it's
time for you to get down, cause now I'm doing what you need now.
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's Friday, July 21st,
2023, at least for us. We don't know where you are or how you are, but hopefully doing fantastic.
We've got our weekly business and marketing news and just everything you need to know. I'm joined by my good friend
and my co-founder of AK, Chris Hansen's joining me today on the Radcast. What's up, brother?
Happy to be here. Feeling the Friday energy. I love it.
Hey, Friday vibes. Hashtag Friday vibes.
You know, we did one.
I did one monologue version last week.
Maybe the official day of AK.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, it is Friday.
Every day is a vacay at vacay.
But yeah, I did one monologue episode. Then I'm like, Chris, join me now.
I gave him like an hour notice.
But that's what a good friend is.
One hour, dude, I'm in the sauna.
I'm there.
Yes.
Let me get this sweat out of me and I'll be there, baby.
Exactly.
Yes, it's our weekly marketing news.
And Chris, I don't know if you saw this.
I'm not a big lottery guy.
Me neither.
I think I've, the only time I play the lottery is,
so there's two things.
I like to give people that are like not really my good friends,
but someone that maybe I need to give a card or birthday gift to.
I like to put scratch-off cards as kind of a cool,
instead of like 20 bucks in a card,
throw some scratch-offs in like a birthday card or something.
So I like to do that.
And occasionally we'll go to the gas station.
If I've got like cash that's random in my pocket,
like I got a random $15 or something and my kids are in the car,
I'll buy,
I'll bring out like 15 scratch off so they can like get a kick out of it.
And look,
just so everyone's listening with the,
with the lottery commission,
just letting them scratch them.
They're just for me.
They're,
I'm using them for child labor just for,
I would collect the winnings for them,
but I don't really do the lottery,
but the Powerball is up to 900 million.
It's insane.
900.
It's a big number.
It is a big number.
It's so funny to me.
So everyone scrambles like when it gets up there, right?
900 million, 1 billion.
Yeah.
Because it wasn't enough when it was 100.
What is 100 million?
I'm not playing.
They're like, honey, I'm not getting off the couch to go to the gas station for 100 mil.
It needs to be closer to a bill for me to get off the trailer.
I like hanging out like 100 mils.
I get me off the couch.
But 900 mil gets my attention.
I'm like, why is it that it's like, you's still game like you know, it's a million dollars.
It's game changing for most people.
Yeah, absolutely.
But I'm only playing when it gets to 900 million,
but there is a one in 292 million chance that you'll win Chris.
So you got to get out there.
I need to go buy one today.
Then one in 292 million chance of winning.
That's almost the entire, that's what,
like basically the population of the United States, essentially.
Yeah, I think so.
Like essentially it was like 360 million or something in the U.S.
Yeah, close enough.
So you've got a 1 in the entire population chance of winning.
But as my good friend Jim Carrey said in Dumb and Dumber,
you're saying there's a chance.
Chances of a guy like you and a girl like me getting together.
I'd say one in a million.
I love that movie.
It's a classic.
It is.
But if the,
so here's some details for those of you listening.
I know you're wanting to get out there and play the power ball.
If you choose, if you win, you have two options.
You could choose the lump sum, which is $465.1 million check written at one time.
Or you get 30 years of annual payments that are worth an estimated $900 million before taxes.
So over 30 years, you get the whole $900 million,
or you get $465 million at once.
Which one are you taking there, Chris?
$465 million all at once, or $900 million over 30 years?
I'm taking $900 million over 30 years.
Ah, okay.
You want the whole kit and caboodle.
It's better from a tax perspective, because if you take the lump sum,
you're getting hit over the head with a $125 million tax bill day one.
So you really take home about $340 million.
Yeah, I'd rather wait it out.
Wait it out?
I want the long-term game plan.
Give me that 30-year comfort.
What are you going to do with that much up front?
Yeah, because what is it, 30 million a year?
So, because 30 times 30 is 900 million.
Is that right?
Because 30 times, I think that's right.
So, you get 30 million a year for 30 years.
You can live a great life on 30 million a year.
The only problem is, and as someone that's gotten their life maybe more in order than me
quitting bad habits and everything as someone that still drinks a little bit i'm a little worried if
i had that much more money and thus free time that i hope that my bad habits wouldn't increase
and i just mean going to more part of the things that decrease my lifetime so thus am
i gonna live 30 more years that was that was what would come through my mind is okay but i guess
your kids still fair concern you do see that happen all the time yeah when people get that
kind of windfall i've got look i do okay you do it we do okay and i guess i could do what the hell
i want now but it's a little it's those extra numbers do kind of change things a little bit
for anyone.
You can do whatever the hell you want.
You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
And I don't know, with kids and family, I think I'd stay on the rails.
But I don't know.
I just feel like Nicole and I would travel more.
We'd hang out.
There'd be certain lifestyle things that, at least in the short term, might be, I don't know know more partying and drinking or something like just
socially you'd probably be drinking more fine wine on the omafi coast exactly on a yacht exactly and
so maybe i'd offset it because i did i'd have we all have coaches and certain things but i'd have
probably like lebron james style the one coach all the time with you you pay him like a million
dollars or something he's just keeping you in shape and like working off all your bad habits giving you like iv drips every morning
to counter the alcohol consumption keep keeping you steady which exactly look at hollywood they
have these type of people everywhere yeah i think i'd take the 465 try to offset as much of the
taxes as possible and maybe start investing it thinking that I could double it quicker than the 30 years.
Put in some Bitcoin.
Yeah, put it in.
I've heard there's like a good trader called like FX or something.
Oh yeah, FTX, great trading platform called FTX.
Can I bail him out of jail and maybe he can help me invest it?
So last week I talked about threads from instagram and told people to thread lightly i think people need to be testing the waters
but thread lightly chris thread lightly they just come to you so naturally
it was like the first thing i thought about i I'm like, okay, how do I need to tell people that they should try threads but not go too heavy?
Thread lightly.
So anyway, you can check out my full review on YouTube.
I did a 10-minute kind of spiel on it.
And all I'm saying is I don't think it's going to be a core platform.
I think it's great.
It's interesting.
But it's the exact copy of Twitter.
But I think you've got a mismatch of audiences.
And sure enough, the data's come out.
Engagement's dropped to 50% since its peak.
I think, yes, they got to 100 million users fast,
but it's because Instagram made it super easy for you to transition.
And I think it'll be one of those that people dabble in.
But I think if you're a business and you want to gain customers
and you want to do business,
there's so many other opportunities on other platforms that I just wouldn't throw the bank at threads.
And sure enough, the data kind of supports it.
So I don't know what your experience has been on it, Chris.
I think I've posted two things on it.
It's definitely a softer environment than Twitter.
Yeah.
As far as more.
But I've noticed people using it like they're still posting their Instagram picture. It's definitely a softer environment than Twitter. Yeah. As far as more.
But I've noticed people using it like they're still posting their Instagram picture, but on threads with essentially their caption.
So like you're just double posting.
Yeah.
In a way.
I'm trying to use it for my mind kind of works in headlines and in piffy statements.
Yeah.
So if I think of something, I try to just write it there as a medium and I'm a pretty good engagement but it's like reposter i don't do a lot of i just repost
things that resonate with me same as i just don't think it's going to be a business driving
until they get some ad components you can't even really look at your total numbers like your total
analytics yeah you could see some of the basic engagement of like likes and
comments, but you can't look at the entire picture. So till all that gets settled, I can't
take it too seriously as a business driving platform. I just treat it as like everything
else. It's another place to get a little more awareness, maybe a newer user base. I still get,
I get, I I've done nothing on the platform and i'm approaching like
10 000 followers like i but i think it's mainly just people turning over from the instagram
platform in general so we'll see continue to tread lightly my friends and the data suggests
that you should as well i thought this was pretty cool chris I've always wanted to make my own song, even though I can't. I can play like guitar and stuff, but I am not a good enough musician.
But now Coke is doing this interactive thing at concerts and different activities and places where they do activations where you can essentially make your own song, make your own cover album, make all this stuff.
It's getting a little scary with generative ai how easy it is to mimic
yeah i guess throw some beats together and go i want to sound like post malone and a song about
breaking up i'm intrigued by it like what you just said does it use my voice is using someone
else's voice i don't know how i feel about it. It's a little too robotic for me, I think.
But what's the auto-tune?
Yeah.
Within the studio that makes everybody's voice sound okay?
Is it just add auto-tune?
Could they take my voice right now talking?
And I'm not a good singer.
I can carry a tune at church or something,
but it's not great.
You can sneak into the background chorus.
But can AI combined with like auto-tune turn me and this sound into a good singing voice?
I don't know.
It's scary.
I've got a buddy who did a whole album with AI and I didn't know it initially.
I learned it later and it sounds good.
But I'm like, I don't know.
I'm one of these people like your soul resonates through music.
So how much, and how much variation is going to come with this AI?
Is everything going to sound similar? How much differentiation can there actually be?
But that's my problem with pop music now. Yeah.
A lot of the rap beats, especially, and I like rap and I like hip hop.
Right.
But the beats, certain things are all starting to sound the same.
It's all this kind of melodrama kind of underneath.
Boom, do-na, do-na.
I don't know.
And so I think we need originality.
Exactly.
We're losing originality and individuality.
Yeah. So I like it from an activation standpoint for coke because it's fun and they can do it and people can kind
of it's something to bring alive and experience at a show and make people feel like a star
but the broader side of like music creation it's a little i don't know i don't want maybe
inspiring people to hey maybe i want to pursue something like this.
Yeah.
But to make it too easy where everyone can do it, then what is the value in the people that actually have real talent?
I think some of the imperfection of live shows is, and not even what you hear is imperfection, but more the improv, improvisation is what make live shows so great.
You hear a little bit of a different sound
than maybe the CD, I'm updating myself,
or the streaming version.
And I think that's what people kind of go to live music for,
to hear and see how it's performed live.
So I think there'll always be an appreciation of that.
It's just the studio stuff.
Great interactive marketing. Yes yes it's cool yep the
magic of coke are you a coke or pepsi guy i'm a coke guy i'm totally a coke guy i'll have a pepsi
but i'm choosing coke yeah i'm a brand stop coke all the way pepsi's marketing is really good and
i know the cmo really wouldn't think their marketing is great but it's kind of like burger king i think burger king's marketing is
pretty great too but like my kids aren't asking for burger king and they're not asking for pepsi
yeah one daddy we need some mcdonald's french fries and i'm like no shit you do and you're
like so does daddy yeah so is that it was somez ketchup. No hunts on that shit. No.
But yeah, Coke Zero has become, it was really a bad invention for me. Because I stopped drinking Coke because I didn't want 250 calories on every drink.
And Diet Coke always had that aspartame-y taste to it.
Coke Zero, man, was just like the greatest invention and the worst invention ever.
I bought a two liter liter Coke Classic last night.
I'll admit it.
As much as we love to talk about health and wellness, too.
I still get that.
I get that craving.
Oh, yeah.
The original formula.
There you go.
Speaking of original formulas, if you go to rollofthepain.com, Chris and I develop first class products here.
It's called Vacay.
Official sponsor of the Radcast,
and in all full transparency, the company we own.
But I will say this.
I said it.
I literally have old man tennis elbow going on,
and I had a bad wrist.
It's fixed.
But now my damn tennis elbow started up
and was hurting after going to the gym this morning.
Rolled it on.
It was feeling cool as I came into the office.
And you know what? Don't feel the pain anymore, Chris. It's gone. went to the gym this morning rolled it on it was feeling cool as i came into the office and you
know what don't feel the pain anymore chris it's gone for that joint baby it works legit

You roll it on.
Pain falls off eventually.
And you know what?
It has healing properties.
My doctor even said so.
I couldn't believe it. I was like, really? He's like, yes know what has healing properties? My doctor even said, so I couldn't believe it.
I was like,
really?
He's yes.
CBD has healing properties that actually tackle not only the pain,
but over time,
if you keep using it,
soaking into the muscles and the joints has healing properties.
And it's been pretty much cured my wrist.
And now being the actor that inflammation,
I know that's what it is.
I don't even know what tennis elbow is, know that's what it is. I don't even know what tennis elbow is,
but that's what it is.
I've heard it for my whole life.
I just don't mean your elbow hurts.
You don't want it.
It's like right on the outside of your,
I don't know what it is,
but I know I don't want it.
I know you don't want it either.
And if you've got tennis elbows,
sore muscles,
or you know what I've been using on my temples too,
for headache.
Yeah,
you do my instead of like
on the advil i'm hitting the roll on the temples go to roll off the pain.com or you can visit our
full product line at take a vacay that's v-a-y-c-a-y the only way to spell vacay take a vacay.com
chris we had some big and a big country star on this week on the Radcast.
Spencer Crandall.
He's got the hottest song of the summer,
Didn't Do, out this week,
along with Cooper Allen, working with Cooper.
Cooper, if you're listening, I'm coming after you, baby.
I want you on the show.
Spencer's working on that.
But they did a little duo.
It's called Didn't Do.
It's a little jam.
It's fun for the summer.
But Spencer was awesome.
It's a good vibe. And he's a great guy very transparent very open about his he talked to i even asked him i was
like how the hell is country you're on the road all the time how are you not drinking partying
every night and he's i was he quit drinking six years ago it's like i couldn't keep up and he's
a younger guy he's probably 30 maybe 32 he had to quit He's dude, I wouldn't survive in the business.
He's like, there's guys that do it.
They somehow pull it off and it doesn't seem to affect them.
But like he was transparent about that and the music business being an independent artist.
So that was a really interesting look behind the country music business with Spencer Crandall.
Got a lot of songs.
So you may not know his first name, but as soon as you start, apple music you'll play them and if you listen to any country music you'll go
okay i know that song yeah i've heard it like on the radio next week jeff dudin ceo of homefront
brands and host of the homefront podcast jeff's a great guy and you're gonna enjoy him he's got
a great podcast himself and he is crushing it in a lot of different ways.
Really progressive CEO. So you'll enjoy that episode next Tuesday.
Got some social media news here. So TikTok is coming out with a musing streaming service.
Makes sense to me. It seems like a natural kind of like next step, right?
Absolutely. TikTok is driving so much music right now with the viral trends.
I almost think that's the one song in the top 10,
I would say every week is from going viral on TikTok.
Yeah, exactly.
And so much, all these guys, like the guys that just mentioned Spencer and Cooper out,
like these guys have half a million, million followers on TikTok.
They get to test out music. The ones that are using Spencer and Cooper out, like these guys have half a million, million followers on TikTok. They get to test out music.
The ones that are using it, it's crazy.
Like you can use it different ways for different businesses,
different things.
So for them to have their own music streaming service
that ties into the app, it's like a no-brainer.
So it makes a lot of sense.
It's launched in a couple other countries.
It hadn't launched in the U.S. first.
I think they're starting in, it looks like, Australia, Mexico, and Singapore.
So all of our Singapore listeners, you can get it now.
So there you go.
We actually are in the top 100 in Singapore, I think.
Worldwide, baby.
I've never been, but I heard amazing things.
Very clean.
Yes.
I'm going to go on like an Asian tour or something.
Let's do it.
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Let me start.
When we can get vacay like outside of the U.S., take a vacay.
Take an Asian vacay.
We'll do it.
So Twitter, according to Elon Musk, is going to support long-form articles with mixed media,
surviving its long-form content feature called Twitter Notes
with support for mixed media
such as photos, videos, gifs, and tweets,
or gifs,
depending on where you fall in that camp.
That's a very controversial subject.
The company first launched Twitter Notes
in June of last year,
and it was recently rebranded as Articles.
Elon Musk has confirmed the news
in response to a user's tweet
regarding the renaming of the project
feature could help retain writers
who want more distribution for articles
that would be otherwise posted
on their blogs or newsletters.
So, Musk has raised the
character limit to 4,000
and 10,000 for 20 Twitter Blue
subscribers to enable users to post
longer messages.
There you have it. Are you a blog
writer? Have you written a blog? I don't think I've ever written a blog, but I do think there's
a lot less people watching the news now and mainstream media and whatnot. So I think this
is a great way to give independent journalists a platform to showcase. We need that. We need
real journalism. Look at Tucker Carlson. What's's he's doing he's leaving fox 100 million viewers with him and andrew tate or
whatever like crazy numbers you watch that interview which one tucker andrew tate yeah
yeah absolutely yeah great interview i think tucker obviously has probably been the biggest
name that's shown like you don't need a major network to
do journalism your thing but i just think it would be great to have more independent journalists
and there's a lot that i follow but it's obviously very limited and what there's more picture
reporting and little updates of things but yeah i don't know how many people are reading the
newspapers anymore or subscribed not many no it's all online the paper the true paper and my
first one of my first jobs was like literally newspaper ads and how big they were back early
2000s and how that industry is like about almost dried up completely because everything's online
yeah but i do think it's smart for us to continue to add feature sets because if you've got threads breathing down your neck, supposedly you need.
And this was my biggest complaint with threads.
There's no they needed to come out with more or a more unique functionality, something that separated it from Twitter from day one instead of just being the exact same thing.
At least the core and even less functionality than Twitter today.
And so they can't bog it down from day one, but at least something core function and even less functionality than twitter today and so they can't
bog it down from day one but at least something to differentiate it so i think musk number one
needs to get a little bit out of the way and let his ceo run the company i think he needs to do
what he does best and but then i do think having features that separate it and giving journalists
a reason to stay on the platform was smart. So we'll see where that goes.
Meta slash Facebook has released Llama 2,
which is essentially text-generated suggestions.
It's similar to ChatGPT.
It's Facebook's version that integrates so that it gives you text recommendations
for many captions or other things.
So Llama 2 and Llama 2 Chat.
I'm like, why Llama?
Where do these names come from?
I don't know.
I hear Llama.
I don't get like a good visual, perfect visual.
No, it's a very awkward name.
Llama.
Yeah.
Meta Llama.
I met a llama.
It doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
No.
So human evaluators find it
roughly as helpful as chat GPT.
Safety layers have been implemented
to prevent potentially harmful outcomes.
Have you messed around with chat GPT
and it completely tell you something
just totally false?
I have not,
but I've seen people posting stuff
or asking questions
and then chat GPT being like,
we're ethical and we cannot entertain.
Does it ethically want to answer the question?
Yeah.
So everybody's got their version of,
and all I tell people that use these things is it's a good starter.
It's good for like research and starting point,
but then you need to edit with your own point of view so that you don't,
because I think otherwise you're going to start to see these same text threads
with like exactly the same stuff.
Because if it's been something out for you of a question you've asked,
somebody else is going to post that same shit and start sounding the same.
You still want to sound like yourself.
I definitely have used it for some stuff and I'm like,
I do not talk like this.
Yeah. This is not my, yeah.
Like it sounds like a 19th century victorian speech and
i'm like that but like you said great starting point gives you a foundation you can play with
so i still need to dive deeper into it the we'll close out today chris with some really important
social holidays we want to make people aware of. These are just the most important ones.
So today is National Junk Food Day, the 21st.
Yes, National Junk Food Day.
You're a little behind if you haven't planned for this,
if you're like a junk food category brand.
But I will be posting my Cheetos later.
That might be the most American holiday I've ever heard of.
Yeah.
What's your go-to junk food?
Candy.
Yeah.
Hairbone twin snakes and butter fingers.
Very specific.
Yeah.
If we're talking chips, Cheetos are baked Lay's.
But, dude, I got no sweet tooth.
Oh, yeah.
National Day of the Cowboys tomorrow,
along with national hammock day.
So get your spurs up and get that hammock.
I was going to say those two go together.
I just sold my cowboy hats from Texas.
Maybe I'll start rocking those down in Miami tomorrow.
That might go over real well.
Don't see a lot of cowboy hats here in Miami.
No, not a whole lot lot that's not a painted
background there in his background that is miami in the background where chris is at today sunday
gorgeous grandma day that's hey celebrate your grandmother yep and it's parents day
so i'm gonna celebrate myself on Sunday. They combined Parents' and Grandparents' Day?
I don't know.
It just says National Parents' Day on my show notes here.
