I said hallelujah to the 16th now Elvisa
You're getting down on your knees
Said it's time for you to get down
Cause I don't know 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, June 2nd,
2023, our weekly marketing business news and entertainment of the week.
Hello, hello. Happy National Donut Day.
Yes. Donut Day.
Yes.
Donut. Yeah. This is my friend's anniversary and I never forget it because it falls on National
Donut Day. I know. A Krispy Kreme or
Dunkin' Donuts? Oh, man.
Strawberry, pink, frosted, above everything.
Don't really care where it's from.
Okay. But like, gun to my
head, probably Krispy Kreme. Yeah.
Dunkin' Donuts is good. I like Dunkin' Donuts.
Yeah. But that Krispy Kreme original is hard to beat.
Heat it up.
Oh, yeah.
Hot and ready.
Hot now.
But I do love a good sour cream donut.
Yes.
Yeah.
Sour cream from Dunkin' is pretty good.
Sounds gross, but oh, so good.
No, they're actually delicious.
With coffee?
It tastes nothing like sour cream.
No.
And look, if it did, I wouldn't be mad.
I'll eat sour cream with a spoon.
That settles it.
I'm having donuts for lunch.
Perfect.
Done and done happy
donuts to everyone out there if you're listening on friday june 2nd which today it is for us but
otherwise have a donut anyway celebrate if you can have one though not possible i think one's okay
i think i average three every time at least yeah i don't have them often yes you had a good week
i did you have a good Memorial day.
I did.
We had fun.
Yeah.
At the lake.
It was raining and 55 degrees.
It was very gray.
In South Carolina.
I had to break some records.
I don't know.
Like usually like sweltering by now.
It was definitely.
I would have gone for sweltering.
I were cold.
I was like,
I'm just going to sweatshirt most of the day,
like Friday night and Saturday.
I had my jacket with me the whole time.
Monday,
Monday came through a little bit though. it was sunny we uh i hope everyone had to get a memorial day and it was an eventful it was just lake stuff yeah that didn't feel it did since
monday but it's i don't know if you didn't get the whole weekend of sun and fun off like the
summer yeah i don't think i've kicked off the summer yet no i guess i gotta retry this weekend
that's what fourth of of July is for.
Just to keep holding out.
No, it's called June 2nd weekend.
There you go. That's what it's for.
Kick it off with National Donut Day.
Yes.
Once we got cooking.
I have a burning question for you.
Are you an Alexa or a Hey Google person?
Or neither?
Hey Siri.
Okay, yeah.
We have Alexa in the kitchen.
Yes.
So we have...
Did you ever buy the voices for her?
No, absolutely not.
Probably a good thing because as of now,
Amazon is discontinuing its celebrity voices.
Did they actually sound like the celebrities?
Oh, yeah.
I think it was celebrity recorded.
It wasn't like AI.
And the reason why they're doing away with it
is because they're doing some budget cutbacks
and you've got royalties that are involved with all of that.
But if you did pay for them,
you can use the three that it mainly affects are Samuel L.
Jackson,
Shaquille O'Neal and Melissa McCarthy.
You always think of together because I didn't even know existed.
I just wouldn't pay for it.
Like it's a fun offer,
but I'm not going to pay extra for it.
But if I could go,
Hey Alexa,
turn into Samuel L.
Jackson,
but you have until September 30th to continue. You can't keep buying it, but if you already have it, you can keep using it until the 30 L. Jackson. But you have until September 30th to continue.
You can't keep buying it,
but if you already have it,
you can keep using it
until the 30th.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think I'm going to pass on that one.
We need to edit
somebody's voice in this moment,
like Melissa McCarthy,
who's in the new
Little Mermaid movie.
Yes.
Which I plan on seeing at some point.
I absolutely won't.
I have no girls in the family
other than my wife,
but no little girls I have to please with Little Mermaid.
I'm excited that I don't have to do that.
We've got some romance novels in the notes today.
Smoothie King has used ChatGPT to write a 215-page, 250-page romance novel.
And in this novel, it's all coded with different coupons and offers
that Smoothie King customers can partake in.
Yeah.
A summer fling to the extreme.
Details of budding in relationship.
Oh, that's what it's about.
With Walter Malone.
Do you know who that is?
That's a play on watermelon.
Oh.
That's the lead character's name.
Right over there.
In the insert over the head.
You wouldn't be getting these clues.
I don't know Walter, but I know Ben.
Ben Dover.
I don't think about Smoothie King customers being avid readers.
That just doesn't feel like a pairing.
But clearly, they've done some research behind this.
I think it's really fun and weird.
Yeah.
I want to know, is it just lots of puns or
is it like truly like romance? I'll look it up and do like, am I falling in love with smoothies
or am I falling in love with these people? I will record the audio book just for you.
Just for you. It's a fun usage of the newest tech. So get your buzzwords out there. Hey,
we did a book with open AI. I also, I don't think about using chat GPT for content this long.
Cause I only use it for short form.
I think that the most I've used it for is drafting an email or a blog post.
But the thought of AI generated like 250 words of a romance novel.
Yeah.
I wonder if it reads like some of those stuff starting to read to me.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have much heart.
I would imagine.
Yes.
I would imagine.
Yes. But it does have Walter Malone.
Walter Malone.
The ever-aging heartthrob.
I know.
Are you a smoothie king person?
Do you like smoothies?
I like smoothies, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't patron the king often, but-
You make them at home?
Patronize the king often, but yeah, I'm more of a home smoothie.
Yeah.
I am too.
I don't know.
Something about $8 for a smoothie is like over my- I like Southern Fresh Juicery. If it's a milkshake, it's a of a home smoothie. Yeah, I am too. I don't know. Something about $8 for a smoothie.
I like Southern Fresh Juicery.
If it's a milkshake, it's a dessert.
For sure.
It's probably like the endorphins,
like the sugar endorphins.
Okay, I'm in.
I used to have the really expensive protein powder.
Yeah, no.
I'll chew my food now.
I make the protein stuff at home.
I don't know.
It's $9 for a smoothie.
It's starting to get a little steep.
I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
Yeah.
But if they have a romance model, maybe. Maybe that's the selling for a smoothie. It's starting to get a little steep. I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Yeah. But if they have a romance model, maybe.
Maybe that's the selling point.
Yes.
That's the target audience.
We got some Radcast news.

Oh, they're so good.
So that's actually digging out.
My seven-year-old son, Nash, he's spoiled to a degree like all of them,
but he has a little scoop of ice cream.
That's like his dessert each night.
And so I was digging out last night. Chocolate. Excellent. excellent only chocolate that's his only go-to right now and
what was in the way of getting that chocolate ice cream was those burgers so i was staring at them
going it made me hungry in the moment soon it was like nine o'clock at night i'm like i guess i
can't have a burger right now. I've made bacon pretty late.

Our good sponsor, GoodRanchers.com.
We've got some Twitter news per usual.
It just cannot seem to stay out of the news.
They are launching a new community note for images.
This is on the heels of all of these AI-generated images,
but they've launched community notes for images in posts to put more on crowdsourcing moderation.
The company aims to flag content like manipulated pictures
or AI-generated images, such as the Balenciaga Pope
that went viral a few weeks ago.
Did you see that?
I missed it too.
I saw when they had little kids in the pictures.
I didn't really care for it.
Sure.
That was not AI, however.
But Twitter is working on expanding this feature to videos and tweets with multiple media through the matching algorithm.
Though the matching algorithm may miss some instances.
So it's just kind of trying to keep everything safe.
No, you're going to have to have a lot of this.
For images, for videos, for audio.
Audio, yeah.
That's a big one.
So the filters are going to have to keep up with all the bad players.
So it makes sense.
Hats off to Elon.
Getting something right here and there.
Yeah, at least looking out for people.
Trying to.
LinkedIn is emphasizing the power of networking in a big global push.
They have a massive campaign.
It's global, and it's called Find Your In,
which places an emphasis on the platform's networking capabilities.
I don't use LinkedIn nearly as much as I should have, but I found this super interesting.
The effort includes a whimsical short film supported by TV, social media, online, and video.
As part of their effort, the flashy campaign comes after LinkedIn announced a corporate restructuring affecting 716 jobs through the company.
And its most recent earnings report announced an 8% year-over-year boost in revenue.
I think LinkedIn's underutilized by a lot of people, myself included sometimes.
It starts to show signs of the Facebook effect a little bit of some of the posting,
like getting away from business, which I'm okay with on certain levels.
I do like to see people's personality, but I do think it's untapped.
It has a lot of room for growth, and I think you're going to see an expansion of the platform and, and not just where people go, where I'm looking
for a job or I have a job, which is probably a 70% of it now. Like I'm looking for a job. I go
to LinkedIn. I am posting a job. I post it there. I think that communities are starting to expand
there. You've got people doing newsletters.
You have a lot of other things.
And I am starting to see LinkedIn.
I have seen a couple of their TV spots here recently.
So I think you're going to see an expansion of it beyond just the jobs.
But I think, I just hope we can keep it in the realm of business on some level
and it doesn't just completely fade into Facebook.
And I get so tired on LinkedIn of all of like spam emails I get and spam messages.
It's the one, I mean, I get them more on LinkedIn than any other.
I get a ton of the same thing.
It's so annoying.
It's like, how many lead generation companies can there possibly be?
They all hit me up on LinkedIn.
And they just base
it off of one keyword that might be hiding somewhere on your profile drives me nuts and
unlike like even facebook or instagram and when we start on tiktok's dming is terrible but
nonetheless i don't immediately on these other platforms go someone's trying to sell me something
necessarily but on LinkedIn,
like everything,
I'm like,
okay,
what are you selling?
And that's why I don't use it as much for that anymore.
I try to just keep it organic.
I just,
cause I feel I'm like,
you know what? I can't practice what I hate against.
I just don't inundate people with,
Hey,
I'm not really that kind of sales guy anyway,
but like,
I think you gotta kind of
get out of all the spammy stuff and find ways to create true connection to community and i think
they've got a ways to go there but i think there's a lot of opportunities because i do think it is
the platform and it makes sense because it's a professional platform where i feel like the people
are real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On social media, at least for me, getting so many DMs, different things. I'm like, how many people are actually not even real?
Just a robot being told to do something or whatever.
It's like paid overseas.
I do think it does have a credibility that leads itself to greater.
I can see that.
I don't know.
I know that everybody has their profile photos and stuff.
But think about how many on all those social platforms. And all these AI photos. itself to greater. I can see that. I don't know. I know that everybody has their profile photos and stuff,
but think about how many on all those social platforms.
And all these AI photos.
It's like all this stuff.
I still feel like there's a level of credibility of Instagram that could be leveraged to do more things that break it.
To streamline that.
Yeah.
Real versus fake.
Yeah.
I also think that LinkedIn lends itself to more long form content.
I am more prone to,
I would prefer more content. Like I would rather click see more on LinkedIn. Whereas if I see that
on Facebook or Instagram, I'm going to scroll right past it. Agreed. So just my thoughts,
but I don't use it much. So what do I know? Burgeoning platform it is that LinkedIn.
On to our marketing news. Frito-Lay makes the largest ever investment in women's sports for the FIFA World Cup.
The marketing program marks the snack company's largest ever investment.
And the World Cup themed packaging will be released for Lay's Doritos and Cheetos.
You know why that is?
It's because guys are the ones munching on those snacks.
Like, I know women eat them too.
But man, guys, I think are just known for that.
I was eating some Doritos last night. Like, I know women eat them too, but man, guys, I think are just known for that. I was eating some burritos
like last night.
Like,
the kids have them
snack foods around like,
get that away from me.
It's like,
but yeah.
I won't do Cheetos.
I can't with the Cheeto fingers.
I'm so,
even thinking about it,
I get a hit.
I know everybody snacks,
but I think guys are worse
at snacking.
I don't know.
Oh,
absolutely.
For sure.
Guys are just snackers.
That's probably why they haven't invested.
I'm sure they've invested, but not as heavily.
Maybe that's starting to change.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
They market to us too much.
And so they start marketing to you.
You're going to start snacking.
Yeah, they're marketing diets to women and food to men.
That's how that works.
This is fun since we're both Apple Music lovers.
Apple Music Classical is now available on Android.
Apple's slowly taking over the world.
Apple Music Classical is now available on Google Play Store for Android users with an Apple Music or Apple One subscription.
The app was first announced earlier this year in March and was acquired by Apple in 2021 from streaming.
Over 5 million tracks are available to search through using keyword combinations like composer, artist, instrument, work title. title yeah i'm not personally like a giant classical music person but i do i was surprised
because i have my galaxy fold and it has apple music on it like they're just regular apple music
so i was actually surprised it actually had that i didn't know they did as they rolled
every platform out but but are you,
I know you're into the stage and all that stuff.
Are you a classical music person?
I know if I hear certain pieces,
I can recognize it.
And I like,
I don't know if it's a certain class.
And I like,
I played some of it.
That's Beethoven's fifth.
Yeah.
It's not my go-to like running music or anything,
but I enjoy it.
I appreciate it.
I like going to the symphony because I'm 80 years old.
Yeah, I can get behind it.
I loved, I loved studying it in school.
Loved it.
Yeah.
I took piano for five years when I was growing up.
So I remember like chopsticks and all the really difficult songs.
Maybe that's on there.
Heart and soul.
The duet of heart and soul.
Oh, yes. Oh, I can still play some heart and soul. The duet of heart and soul.
Oh, yes.
Oh, I can still play some heart and soul.
Who can't?
Heck yeah.
Jazz that up. You don't have to be a piano player to actually play heart and soul.
Yeah.
I took piano for seven years and now I just Google chords.
All you Android lovers, get on the Android users, all 10 of you.
Kidding.
There's way more than that.
At least 12.
Right.
Your app will use a classical download.
Yeah. There you go. You heard it classical download. Yeah, there you go.
You heard it from the Radcast.
There you go.
Radcast only.
Kroger, which is a grocery store that we do not have here in South Carolina,
but they are bringing digital smart screens to over 500 locations.
The grocer is expanding its partnership with Cooler Screens,
which makes digital smart screens after a three-year pilot.
The in-store technology aims to not only improve the shopper experience,
but also bolster Kroger's retail media offerings.
Yeah, in other words, they want to sell you ads so that you're in line.
So here's how this works.
You're in line.
You're looking at that smart screen.
And it's like, you didn't know you forgot those Doritos,
but they're on the screen.
Oh, I need those.
They're on sale.
The new flavors on sale.
$2 off.
Instant coupons right there that'd
be that that's a good little do we have like smart screens at grocery stores around us not many no
they're a lot i just googled them i was like i know i've seen these but you're starting to see
them more in cvs and walgreens little kiosks and stuff yeah you start to see it more in the
grocery store i don't think of Kroger
as a cutting edge grocery store.
Ah, no.
There's a Kroger
like in Myrtle Beach.
Oh, okay.
Okay, there is one in South Carolina.
I thought they started in Georgia.
Yeah.
But I don't know
where they started.
I just know that's the last time
I went to a Kroger
was in Myrtle Beach.
And you know what happens
in Myrtle Beach.
A whole lot of nonsense.
Yeah, what happens
in Myrtle Beach State
is Myrtle Beach.
The original Vegas of South Carolina. The Grand Strand. Gotta love it. lot of nonsense yeah what happens in middle beach state in middle beach the original vegas of south
carolina the grand strand gotta love it but the digital stuff it makes sense especially for real
time delivery of offers and stuff same thing with like menu boards and all that stuff they can update
digitally which uh-huh which makes sense i just ultimately they're just trying to sell you more
stuff yeah and they're gonna sell ads on those things to the food groups
that are already in the store.
And or, I don't know, trash bags.
Do you have any apps for your grocery stores?
I have the Harris Teeter app
and I never use it.
But apparently they run specials
and my boyfriend gets coupons through it all the time.
I use the McDonald's app the most
because I take the boys there
on Friday, hot cake Friday.
And it is quite good about pre-ordering ahead, but no grocery store apps.
And I go to the grocery store a lot.
So either it's not worthy of doing anything or they don't market to me enough
to download it.
I just don't feel like I can bring myself to have my groceries picked up for me.
I'm able-bodied.
I can take care of that.
The problem of like some of the geo ads
that there were going to be like real-time stuff
when you're near stuff,
like it kind of came out
and it was more annoying than helpful.
Uh-huh.
I agree with that.
I think,
but who doesn't like a good coupon?
Right.
Like you talk about a good story would be
if they could somehow match up,
you're using all your privacy anyway,
you're in the grocery store line and they know you've already gotten something your privacy anyway. You're in the grocery store line
and they know you've already gotten something
potentially. They know you're in the store
because it's like geo and like your
app on the phone. Yeah. And then
some kind of targeting on that screen
that matches it to an offer
and to encourage.
There's an interplay of those technologies
that I think has always been the
promise, but I don't know that it's come along.
Not been executed well.
Because again, if I'm going to buy something and I instantly get a coupon, like a little surprise and delight, it's great.
Like if you have my data.
Oh, I always save money.
And you know that we buy, I don't know, snacks.
Doritos.
Like in Doritos and the Lays.
We buy the multi-pack chip things.
Surely that's embedded in our data.
The same things that we buy every time, like the little yogurt stuff that goes in the lunch boxes for the kids.
Matching these discounts with the products that probably should already be on our grocery list.
And that's where it's, okay, courtesy.
My wife, I mean, she obviously does more of the ordering.
Sometimes she's sending me lists to pick up
but does more of it than me sure you would think that it would increase she doesn't use the app
and she uses a lot of that yeah so she has the nugget donuts apps for her coffee and the kid
stuff she's not she's getting her coffee every morning so she has the app for stuff that's
helpful yeah but as much as she grocery shops to not be using the app,
seems like either they're not far along or they don't market it or I don't know.
If Trader Joe's had an app, I would be all over that.
They probably do.
I don't think they do.
If they do and I don't know.
Yeah, who knows?
That's a future problem.
Well, it'll be a follow-up for next week.
There you go.
Stay tuned.
I'll do some research.
We will love any feedback.
Are we missing out on grocery apps and we don't know?
Yes. How can we improve our grocery apps and we don't know? Yes.
How can we improve our grocery experience?
The Crumble app is probably my most used.
Oh, God.
So good.
Man, are we hungry or what?
I know, right?
I got to stop.
If nothing else on this Radcast, if you learn nothing, you've been made hungry potentially.
Yes.
