Starting point is 00:00:00 I said hallelujah to the 16th oil finish up. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. I'm doing yoga today. Is that what that is? I'm oming. Are you sure? It's Friday, June 16th, 2023, Our weekly yoga marketing news. I do love some yoga. Business news of the week. It's the summertime.
Starting point is 00:00:49 So we're having fun. Hot yoga. My back's hurting. I'm doing yoga. I'm trying to like. Happy Father's Day. A couple days early. Hey, thanks.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Yes. A little early, but. Have you gotten anything for your father? No, I haven't. Dads are just hard to shop for. He's not the easiest. Yeah, my dad. I'm easy to shop for. hard to shop for. He's not the easiest. I'm easy to shop for. My dad's impossible.
Starting point is 00:01:08 He's getting a card. A card and my presents. I'm actually not that easy. I buy myself the few things that I want. I buy myself. That's how my mom is. It drives me insane. I'm like, God, Shmality.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Just buy me a Bluetooth speaker. We know. Or Apple products. Yes. AirPods. I bought me a Bluetooth speaker. We know. Or Apple products. Yes. AirPods. I did find another one online last night. I almost bought it. This is like an addiction.
Starting point is 00:01:32 It is. It's my one thing. Your one vice. And beer. Do you just keep trying to like out speaker your current speakers? Or is it just about having a ton of them? Are you looking for one ring to rule i think i justify it based on i wrote this in the post i did post about this on social media where i
Starting point is 00:01:51 was like i justify it because okay the smallest loudest the smallest best sounding okay the largest loudest there's a different feature set because because where you take the smallest best sounding might is definitely different different environment than where you take the smallest, best sounding, it's definitely a different environment than where you're going to take your big, loud. So there's different use cases. And one on the bike, it's like my little Bose small one that attaches to the bike so you can listen to it when we go on a bike ride. I've used that one like twice.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Mr. Cyclist over here. And then it's a new one will come out. I'll be like, i bet you that one smell sounds better than that one and i'm a big music guy like i always have music playing if i'm on the boat i'm at home like i'm so it's not lit so i've always like a value too yeah so yeah i justify it with the different things and you've already bought all of them for you so nicole's i'm not getting you one for father's Day. But it's a very popular item because they come out with new
Starting point is 00:02:47 ones like all the time. That's very true. Because clearly they know there's people like me that compulsively purchase them. So if you're listening to the podcast, not only are you here, if you need a Bluetooth speaker recommendation, I'm your guy. You should just write a review. Have a blog post. I need a blog post on it.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Maybe they'll start sending to me for free to test. I'm a good tester of them too. It's how it works, see? I know I have some tricks of the trade. Like you have to get the volume right on the phone versus the volume on them. Sometimes they're independent of each other. And sometimes it'll throw one off if you're not balancing them correctly. There's some insider tricks here.
Starting point is 00:03:21 This is a YouTube video. It wouldn't even happen. Yes. But speaking of music, Paul McCartney says that the final Beatles song will be coming out thanks to AI.
Starting point is 00:03:31 So you can use that for your speakers. Test it out. This is like the last person I thought would use AI or admit to using it. Yes and no. Because remember when he was
Starting point is 00:03:40 in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and it was like, Paul McCartney, excuse me, are you, what? Yeah. So? Yeah. So it's shocking, but also feels not unpredictable. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I don't know. I think he, I wonder if he's getting paid by like OpenAI or something. Possibly. He's like a sponsor. Possibly. He did too many drugs back in the day. Whatever. Fucking cares.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I know. But it does say, I think they're using it a lot for his voice. Maybe not for writing it. Yeah. They're pulling John Lennon's voice. Yeah. So. Cool. it's cool yeah and you're gonna see more and more of this head they had new images of the beatles playing at liverpool's cavern club so obviously ai is like generating all kinds of things can you imagine like if that was your life and then you go into a recording studio and a machine then sounds like these people who you spent the most like formative
Starting point is 00:04:25 years of your life with i can't imagine the like how trippy that would be if i was paul mccartney and i think i've thought about this before there's these there's things for podcasting where like the script like it will transcript a full show yeah and it is not an expensive software by any means but it does have the capability for like if I trip on a word, which I never do. It's just in case that were to happen, especially when you do it. Anthropomorphic.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I could add a word or two, leave bumbling about something or if it's not clear, it can take my voice and add, remove a couple of words and add a couple of words and you wouldn't know it. That's amazing. And so it's obviously not far off from being able to regenerate your entire voice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 God. I don't know. I wouldn't even have to record these. You're like, I'm going to work myself out of a job. Yeah, exactly. But AI cannot possibly duplicate the insanity that is my mind can confirm
Starting point is 00:05:28 whenever you call me and you're like I need to just download my brain onto yours I literally have a note on my laptop that just says Ryan's brain and it's just like this stream of consciousness exactly no way I could possibly do that if it got to be true oh man my life would be so much easier it would become too efficient
Starting point is 00:05:46 and they would know that possibly couldn't be i'm telling you no way i can reproduce it so go woke go broke my light has lost its number one position for the first time we'll call it ever but it's been a long time and the irony is that modelo is now the number one beer in the u.s the irony of that is it's very funny it's funny it's very funny. It's funny. It's very funny. Here's what I'll say. We stay out of most politics on the show, but I do say something on time.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Know your audience. That was my thought. Period. That was my thought. So there's whatever, however you feel about all this stuff, know your fucking audience. You have a blue collar beer drinking crowd that skews a certain way,
Starting point is 00:06:25 like it, love it or hate it. And you come out and you just throw something in their face that you know that a lot of them don't agree with. Dumb. So it, it like monetarily was an odd choice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 And I love Dylan, but again, it, it, like you're saying, no, your audience know what serves you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I, it's just, know what serves you. Now people buy Modelo, so there you go. Yeah, I know Modelo. Mexican beer. Gotta love it. It's the number one. That's why I say there's some ironies all around it. The border and all.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Yeah, be careful what you ask for. But I do like a good Modelo. I like their commercials better. I do too. I like the bottles better, aesthetically yeah speaking heinz is connecting with past viral stars for a new sauce drop heinz has been all over our news lately and i love this because it's not ketchup it's different sauces yeah so they've enlisted past viral stars that they've used to release a six time six limited time sauces that are part of the 15 minutes of
Starting point is 00:07:20 flavor campaign because they're going for this big global push. They will release new flavors each month and they are black garlic ranch, bangin' brewery mustard, yuzu wasabi, and a couple others. And they'll be released each month, respectively in paid and organic assets across TikTok and Instagram. Let me say this, boss is sauce.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Sauce is boss. Did I say that wrong? Sauce is boss. We'll have AI fix it. I don't know if it's AI can fix that. Boss is sauce too. I think it's a, I don't know if it's a can fix that boss is sauce too I think it's a I don't know if it's a guy thing but who doesn't like sauce
Starting point is 00:07:48 like oh it makes all the difference in the world it's like a good sauce on some fries or like different things like I don't know
Starting point is 00:07:55 so I am all for the sauces if you come to the Alford house there's probably like 437 do you like mix your own do you like no
Starting point is 00:08:01 concoct anything I'm not a I don't get into the business like I there's a couple that don't get into the business. Like I, there's a couple that I make. Okay, okay. Purposefully with ingredients.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Right. But I don't get into the blending ketchup with mustard with four things randomly. Mayonnaise, shish, shish, shish. And Zaxby's sauce or something. Fair. No, but I will say this. Sauce is where it's at. And I think it's popular. Kind of like cereal.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Everybody likes cereal. I think a lot of people like sauce. And so Heinz is smart here, leaning into it. I like the old viral 15 minutes of fame thing. So 15 minutes of flavor. There you go. I get it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I'm picking up what you're throwing down. And look, at the end of the day, I just want some of that yuzu wasabi. See, it's the brewery mustard for me that I think sounds fun. Yeah. But I love mustard. Black garlic ranch. Eh, I might pass on that. But a little banging brewery mustard.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Sure, I'll try that yuzu wasabi. I like saying wasabi. I like spicy food. Wasabi is a fun word. Wasabi. Have you seen the video of that little girl who went viral on TikTok and they gave her a little bit of wasabi and she just looks at the camera and goes, help. It's so cute. But look, who doesn't like a secret sauce?
Starting point is 00:09:14 If I was starting a restaurant, it would totally have 10 sauces that you mix like different things. That's trapdoor. They have all of those like different mustards. Exactly. One of the most popular restaurants in Greenville. Yes. That somewhat of a hidden gem if you aren't from here but is always packed in a delicious place and they have lots of sauces yes and i and who doesn't love heinz the maker of the best sauce ever which is ketchup whatever you need to tell yourself you need to tell yourself it's i love it no matter what they did but i thought of it even better that they've 15 minutes of flavor and 15 minutes of fame smart people over there at heinz and the
Starting point is 00:09:50 best sauce ever today's podcast brought to you by heinz unintentionally they don't even know it yes got some fun rad news though best podcast ever this is true 100 million e-commerce brand builder josh snow from snow test if you've heard of crest white strips snow white strips are the ones that are breaking all the records so in cvs in major retailers going after the big boys josh has built multiple brands crushing it that episode was awesome it launched on on Tuesday.

Starting point is 00:10:39 you need to check out that episode. And we've got a lot of guests coming up, a lot of guests getting scheduled. One that I can release now, if you ever heard of a guy named Moby, one of the best hit makers of the early 90s, originally a DJ, and pretty excited when his people reached out. I was like, okay, I know Moby. I sent texts to like 10 of my friends from college
Starting point is 00:10:58 and everybody's like, what? Oh yeah, I'm telling you, go listen to a Moby song, a couple of them, and then play it next to some of the stuff that's playing on the hits one or whatever, on Sirius, yeah. I'm telling you, go listen to a Moby song, a couple of them, and then play it next to some of the stuff that's playing on the hits one or whatever on Sears, whatever. It's better. And it sounds, it's in the same vein. Totally.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It's not dated. Oh, my God, this is dated. It was great dance music slash hip hop slash not hip hop, but what's the word? Rap, R&B, pop. What's the word I was looking for? But yes, Moby's joining the show later this month, and we've got some other big guests. Exciting stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Yes. Look, I'm still holding out for one in particular. I know. We'll see. Yes, Grace, my assistant, is working on the best list ever, and we've got lots coming. Good stuff. No pressure.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I like putting pressure on people. We know. Yes. Pressure makes diamonds. Yes, it does pressure. I like putting pressure on people. We know. Yes. Pressure makes diamonds. Yes, it does. And diamonds are great gifts, but typically for women. However, it's a little bit late to get your Good Ranchers order in now.

Starting point is 00:13:18 American meals delivered. Yes. Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers.com. Good stuff. On to our social media news. This is a big deal and very exciting. YouTube lowers the entry requirements for monetization
Starting point is 00:13:30 as it seeks to lure talent away from TikTok and Twitch. This is a big deal. I've had several people send this to me this week, actually. But they are lowering the thresholds for entry into their partner program, which allows eligible creators to apply once they have only 500 subscribers. I think it was like 2,000 or something. and now it's 500 so that's significant but i think that they're also switching the algorithm for shorts to bump those up as well which is great for your creative yeah i gotta get on youtube hey you gotta get on there payouts are pretty good some people
Starting point is 00:13:59 were like mr beast you're making bank there's a lot of people actually making pretty good money like a few thousand dollars a month. It's not the threshold. Once you get a foothold and you have good content, you're not repeating. Isn't that high to get at least a few thousand dollars like generating a month, which obviously is a nice little bonus. We'd all take that.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah. And look, they have to compete. All these platforms, there's only so many creators out there. And so if you want the best creators you want new creators come to the platform even if you're the legacy platform which youtube is for video absolutely still the leader but tiktok twitch instagram facebook you got all those or even twitter eventually i think it'll be playing in this space you gotta do what you gotta do it
Starting point is 00:14:43 makes sense so if you're out there and you're listening and you're wanting to still get on that YouTube training, how many people I have every like the lake now back with the lake community, everybody goes, I should make a video about this. So they're fixing something on the boat. This could be a YouTube channel. Yeah, do it. And I'm like, do it. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Because it's a very niche thing. And that's the stuff that kind of takes off. Yes. It's hyper niche and like how to do something or whatever so it's insane there's never been a better time to join youtube just do it yep as nike would say you can now share music on instagram notes plus view different translations have you used instagram notes i have not i haven't either i forgot what it was i'm not good at using twitter which is Which is the same thing. Yeah, it's the same thing. But now you can share music.
Starting point is 00:15:26 So maybe you'll be more interested now. You can give little blurbs about your different Bluetooth speakers. I'm going to download and Grace is going to remind me to download Instagram notes before next week so that I can give an accurate. Do you have to download it?
Starting point is 00:15:39 I thought it was just like in the app. Maybe it's built into it. I don't know. That's how informed we are on this. Exactly. I have not had time to spend with Instagram notes instagram now you can have a 30 second song clip up there which reminds me of i think you can do this on tinder as well you can have a song that tells about your personality whatever you want to do so it gets fun i could add one of my single rela songs as my 30 seconds yeah the closest thing i get to this is adding. And is this not,
Starting point is 00:16:05 is this the feature where you just put the, in like what you're thinking at the moment? Yeah. Like when you go to messages and you see everyone's little bubble, it means it's, I'm totally using this feature. I thought this was totally a new app. Then I didn't know it was called notes.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I didn't either. I had to look this up. I was like, I don't know what this is. I have been using this. I do post about this. I did not know. I thought it was more baked as like a standalone app that was really competing with twitter i never knew it was called no this is just like a status it's like what's your stat
Starting point is 00:16:32 you speak on instagram status okay like notes come on yeah yeah i've been using this and i'm definitely going to use it for music now actually what's going to be your inaugural song? No, but here's the thing. I totally have been doing song lyrics as my notes. I had, what's the Pina Colada? Oh, escape song. Pina Colada. Or getting something. God in the rain. Yeah, I had that as like, that was my last note, like last weekend.
Starting point is 00:16:58 That was my ringtone for a long time. So I was using this for the thing. And then I had the song from one of the Michael Jackson songs. I don't remember what it was. Oh, I love the P and so i was because i was like how could i use this creatively and so i was using lyrics from songs i did not know i thought the notes was something now you can actually have a song i get it now i can put the song in there suck it twitter okay this next one's gotta be way more functional than that though to be twitter twitter's i don't know you're people can't access as many of these in a feed the way you can twitter
Starting point is 00:17:35 you have to like scroll left to right to see what other people that might have put the note and also my algorithm is weird like the notes i see from my people I follow aren't people I really care about. It's never people I'm actually interacting with on a daily basis, but maybe my friends just don't use it. Who knows? Our next article from manual note-taking to no typing CRM,
Starting point is 00:17:56 win.ai is launching the world's first no typing CRM. This is a lot of tech speak, but the tool aims to- That's an acronym. I was like, I know what all these words mean. CRM, win, AI. J-I-P-M, wind, AI, AI, J-I-P-I,
Starting point is 00:18:07 yeah, whatever. But the tool aims to empower modern sales teams by relieving them of administrative busy work through real-time tracking, capturing advanced NLP algorithms and CRM updating features. So again, like working people out of jobs.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Yes. And I just want to take it from my brain, like back to what you're saying. If we just like export it from the brain into it. I guess it's that way, but still. It'll get there. Elon's got that chip in his brain.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It's like, it's whatever you think gets applied to it. Yes. I'd like you to pronounce the founder's name. What did I do? No, founded by. Eldad Pistan Karen.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Okay. And Bar Haleva. Okay, not bad. And Bar Haleva. Okay, there we go. Win AI addresses you for salespeople to adapt cutting-edge technology and improve outdated practices. Sure. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Cool. Just let me use my HubSpot and my, you know, pipe drive. Right. I'll break a leg, guys. Hope it goes well. Yeah. Hope it works out for you. Yes. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:19:04 On to our marketing news. Ikea, this is insane. I'll break a leg, guys. Hope it goes well. It works out for you. Yes. We'll see. On to our marketing news. IKEA, this is insane. I'll do pictures of this. IKEA has this week erected a 19-foot bag statue in New York tied to an AR experience. The 19-foot statue is of its iconic frocta, which is the big blue bag that you get when you go to IKEA in New York, Madison Square Park. And they're doling out exclusive offers and there are QR codes all over it. And it's mainly to push the company's U.S. presence. Yeah. It's interesting that they do a bag statue.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Is that like a piece of furniture? Yeah. Because see, I've never bought anything that I could put in a bag at Ikea. It's always like a big box of shit that I could put together. Yeah. No, I totally hear that. But there when, I when i don't even remember this but new york passed a law a couple year or two ago where you couldn't bring your dog on the subway unless your dog fit in a bag and people were taking these blue ikea and like cutting holes for their labradors and they would just walk the dog onto the train in the bag but i wonder how many people like use these experiences like this is it i'm sure
Starting point is 00:20:05 just by the scope of ikea it's thousands but well and it feels like it only works in in in your big cities you know exactly because it's oh yeah i'm already in madison's group let's go see it let's go look at it i lived in new york manhattan for six years and they did all these kind of stuff and i rarely went oh when i was there in march March, I was like, what's happening? What can I do? What can I do? I would go like shows and like concerts and like cultural things. Right. You're not going to walk by and see the Ikea bag.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah, the Apple store, like when they, like one of the first ones there or whatever. This was like 2008. Back in the day. Date myself a bit. But yeah. It's fun though.
Starting point is 00:20:42 And the sculpture looks cool. Yeah. I love it. Man, I hire people. When I lived in New York, I'd hire, myself a bit but yeah it's fun though and the sculpture looks cool yeah i love it man i hire people when i lived in new york i'd hire they had people you could hire to put your ikea stuff together i hired a couple people so i fucking hate putting that stuff together oh ikea stresses my wife is like great at it and she has the patience for it i'm like she just tells she sends me to do something else but she's i, no. You go make the steaks.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, I'm handy. I'm handy enough. I can fix things, but that kind of furniture stuff. Right, with the little screws and everything. Yeah, the, I don't know, foreign torture instructions. Something like that. So I might as well say at the top, foreign torture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I do love Ikea though. Yes. I just don't like going there. We had a 7-eleven update they are refreshing their slurpees with an anything flows campaign which is of course play on anything goes the campaign includes four tv spots at 6 15 and 30 second lengths they each focus on a slurpee flavor and feature a diverse cast of embracing self-expression in addition the 7-eleven will sell a slurpee inspired custom capsule collection via their e-commerce store.
Starting point is 00:21:47 This is fun. And who doesn't like a Slurpee? It makes you think of a couple of things. The old slush puppies. Remember those? The slush puppy was the name of this little puppy dog with like different flavors. Anyway, someone listening knows what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And you have Icy's. I loved Icy's. We go to Dave and Buster's a lot. And we have a lot of tickets. And we got the Icy's. I loved Icy's. We go to Dave and Buster's a lot. I was an Icy's girl. We have a lot of tickets. And we got these lights in here in the room and some unboxed ones. We do have the big Icy machine at home that we got from the tickets. Nice. So we can make our own Icy's at home.
Starting point is 00:22:19 There you go. Slap a slurpy label over there. We may have to go to 7-Ele or a QT because we make them at home. I worked about one weekend and I'm like, this is like buying the syrups. Oh, it's such a mess. I'll just go to QT for 99 cents. Are you kidding me? Get you a Slurpee.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Or go to 7-Eleven. But who doesn't like a Slurpee? Oh, I know. Or a Big Gulp. I remember Dumb and Dumber. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big Gulps. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 That's a great movie. So ridiculous., yeah, yeah. Big gulps. Oh, yeah. That's a great movie. So ridiculous. But yeah, 7-Eleven. Can't forget them. I remembered them growing up. I'd go to 7-Eleven. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'd go in there and get a hot dog.
Starting point is 00:22:54 It was obviously a Slurpee. Would you ever buy any of the merch? Yeah, get you a 7-Eleven flat bill. I'm pretty sure I had like a 7-Eleven truck or something. They had the Hess trucks growing up. I think there was like a 7-Eleven truck or something. They had the Hess trucks growing up. I think there was like a 7-Eleven ambulance or something. 7-Eleven ambulance. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Something didn't quite make sense. That's funny. Yes. And of course, our notes would not be complete without some TikTok news. TikTok is parking on gas station screens around the U.S. as part of a GSTV deal. This is insane to me, but they're going to start, TikTok will start appearing on more gas station screens through a new partnership with GSTV,
Starting point is 00:23:31 which is a video network that always has the little videos on, like, shell stations and whatnot. Look, here's the deal. This is great timing. Literally, there's a K-Store or whatever K gas stations are. Circle K. Circle K. They have these gas station things. And look, you're sitting there pumping gas. Right. timing literally there's a k store or whatever k gas stations are circle k circle k they have these gas station things and look you're sitting there pumping gas right you can't help you can't
Starting point is 00:23:50 help but look at it because it's like i started pulling my phone and then something comes on it and i totally watch it and it's some really bad commercial usually if it was tiktok it might actually be funny because they're probably showing like some creators doing something fun so your time and place and attention is fleeting. I like this. I think it's very fun. I like this. It's like certain media buys that I really like.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I really like ways buying ads on ways, like where you have the dots like on the thing. So if you live, if you have a business and you're right on the interstate, look into ways advertising, or this is a good one because people are paying attention. They're pumping gas. And what else they got to do? They got three three minutes of their attention which is longer than most people pay
Starting point is 00:24:27 attention to anything so this makes a lot of sense i like gstv gas tv i guess it's better the jokes could really go about here they could flow freely pass on the stv jokes we're gonna give you a pass on it since it's father's Day weekend. It's fine. You get a couple of dad jokes. We'll allow it. Hey, see, just a couple. Just a couple. I do like this. Hey, it's all about breaking through these days.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah. And this says, I get it. GSTV reaches over 116 million unique monthly viewers. Which is bonkers. I told you, that's a lot. Yeah. And people who probably would never have, never download TikTok on their phone. If I owned a gas station chain, I would totally have these monitors every gas and I'd be selling ads to people like TikTok or anyone that has.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Look, who would you sell to? All the merch you sell in the store. You sell ads to that stuff. Slurpees. I'd have a Slurpee ad on there. There you go. See? Slurpee talk.
