I said hallelujah to the 16th oil phoenix, 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, March 31st,
2023. Our weekly marketing, business, entertainment, world news of the week.
Wild. I love it. World news.
Keep spinning it.
Everybody says to niche down
in your podcast.
We're niching wide.
Niche wide.
That sounds like a car.
It's grounded in business.
Yeah.
You know,
but so many things
relate to business now,
you know.
It's true.
Everything is content.
Everything is business.
Christina Yossi,
I got Sawyer on the ones and twos.
I hope everybody is good wherever you are, whenever you are.
However you are.
However you are.
I like to do the whenever because podcasts kind of live forever.
You could be hearing me right now and it'd be 2041.
Isn't that alarming?
And I'm in an old man's like home, you know.
You're not going to be in an old man's home in 20 years.
I don't want to hear it.
Yeah, that's true.
I know. I know.
I know.
Yeah.
We'll see.
Hopefully we make it that far,
but how had a good week.
Yeah,
I did.
I went viral.
Hey,
for a hot moment.
Famous Christina Yossi.
Yes.
Can we,
is that,
are you going to change your name to that?
It's famous.
No,
but I go by the,
the brand if you will is cry comedy
because my initial spell cry cry um yeah is that your handle on tiktok well it's just it's christina
rosiassi but my bias is cry it could be changing we'll see what happens now that i'm famous i have
to i have to think about things differently yes but i really hope that tiktok doesn't get canceled
because um i'm finally you finally made it and they shut it down.
Late into the game, but playing the game nonetheless.
So I got to see the spot or the bit or the whatever the hell you call content these days.
And it's funny.
So tell everybody.
What's the premise?
The premise is what would happen if Disney princesses got divorced.
So I have a bit that I do when I do my stand-up about where is that princess movie?
I'm not ready to meet the right person.
I'm ready to meet the wrong person.
And then I hit my peak at 40 after I go through a divorce.
So that idea kind of just spun into this bit, which then spun into my love of musical theater,
which then turned into I don't even know what.
I like it.
But you were playing the princess
and it was something about stuffing your shirt.
Yeah, so I took the Disney song, Be Our Guest
and changed the lyrics to My New Chest.
As in the, this is the boob job that she gets
with her settlement money.
Now I'm single, I'm buying breasts.
Funny, I saw it.
It's funny.
You need to go check it out.
Get ready to handle again, send good photos. Christina Rose Yossi. Yes'm buying bread. Funny. I saw it. It's funny. Thank you. You need to go check it out. Give her the handle again.
Say good follow.
Christina Rose Yossi.
Yes.
Christina's very funny.
You know, we try to make her funny here, but we make her talk about business news.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
It's good.
So give her a shout out on TikTok.
Let's make it really viral.
There you go.
I'll take it.
Mm-hmm.
I'll take it.
It's been a good week it uh radical it's been busy it feels like we're zooming along here
march 31st march great through been enjoying the basketball tournament oh so good so much fun who
you like for the championship you could we can uh so we're recording it before the games are
saturday and it's friday so uh well let's get you on record. For women, USC, for sure.
Five short.
Easiest pick of all time.
Who is playing in the men's?
Yeah, San Diego State, UConn, Florida Atlantic.
That's right.
And Miami.
That's right.
I'm for Miami or Florida Atlantic,
because they feel like the underdogs.
They do feel like it.
Florida Atlantic is wild.
UConn, everybody's going to wipe floor,
because they've won the most points. My sleeper is San Diego State. I think they like it. Yukon, everybody's going to wipe the floor because they've won the most
points. My sleeper is San Diego
State. I think they're tough.
They look like a football
team out on the floor. It's a weird tournament.
This is the product of
NIL. We're going to bring it right back around
to business and marketing.
With the transfer portal and NIL,
teams can get better quickly
and there's a lot of older kids playing now.
Because you have the COVID year where they bumped every extra year.
Then you've got the transfer.
And so now you've got like 25-year-old grown men out there playing.
Yeah, who like have their lives.
And they're like, yeah, why not?
I'll do this now.
And with the one and done, you know, Duke or Kentucky or the Blue Bloods don't, you know, have a little bit of an off year.
Right.
It's a little more manageable.
Right.
It's like managing a roster year to year.
That's a good point.
Everybody's kind of complaining about that a little bit because it's simply like free agency.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I don't know what's going to happen there.
But I like San Diego State in the upset.
I think everybody thinks UConn.
So, yeah, everybody's watching the tournament.
Go enjoy it.
I did think this was really cool.
The new Starbucks CEO saw this right before we came in.
And, you know, there's always a complaint that, you know, it's top down.
Like when you have CEOs, they don't know what's happening on the ground floor.
Right, with their employees.
So their new CEO went and took the 40-hour barista test and has been working in the stores.
It's amazing.
Like,
and he's going to keep working,
keep working like half day every month.
And he's getting a lot of applause for that.
And I agree.
Cause like,
if you're going to run a business,
I mean,
that's the core business is in those,
in those baristas,
in the,
in the coffee shop,
like knowing what's happened,
what,
what,
that's what your customer loyalty comes from.
The customer pain points
and the employee,
you learn both.
Yeah.
What are the customer pain points
and or opportunities?
What are the employee,
the people that take care of you
and make it all happen?
Right.
I think it's amazing.
I think it's smart
and a lot more CEOs should do it.
And, you know,
if we had a coffee shop,
I'd be there making coffee.
It's like undercover boss. Yeah. I mean, I'm made some tech talks today, you know,
he's just like one of us guys. I'm practicing one of us. Yeah. Like the lay people. Yes. No,
it's a, but it is smart for companies this size. So, uh, hats off to Starbucks and don't remember his name. I feel like I should
have given him a shout out. It's Schwartz. What's his name? Howard Schultz. Howard Schultz. Yes,
it is. It's okay. I'm losing my mind. Keeping in our theme of beverages, Pepsi is embracing a new
maximalist icon and changing their logo for the first time in 14 years, which it's new and fresh,
but still feels kind of retro,
which is fun.
I like the retro look.
Yeah.
You know,
Pepsi was born in the Carolinas.
That's where we are.
Represent.
Didn't know we're in South Carolina,
Greenville,
fastest growing city in America.
I think I'm just going to label it that.
It's up there.
We're on the top 10 list or something.
I get redirected every morning on the ride to work.
Every time.
Road work. Drives me nuts. Takes morning on the ride to work. Every time. Road work.
Drives me nuts.
Takes me 14 minutes to drive 0.4 miles.
But that aside, Pepsi was born in the Carolinas, and I do like the new look.
It's retro-y looking.
They said it was the focus because everything's moving towards the zero sugar brands.
Yeah.
So Coke's doing the same thing.
You've seen the Coke.
Coke is all about Coke Zero. Uh-huh. And me personally, I'm zero sugar brands. Yeah. So Coke's doing the same thing. See, you've seen the Coke is all about Coke zero.
Uh huh.
And me personally,
I'm all about it.
Amen.
And Coke,
I will say this.
It's not as good as Coke zero.
Pepsi zero is okay.
Yeah.
It's better than diet Pepsi.
Diet Pepsi is awful.
Yes.
It's kind of like saying,
you know,
crap's better than shit.
You know,
I don't know.
But you know,
it's like, I just, it got I don't know. But, you know,
it's like,
I just,
it got rid of the diet yuck taste.
Yeah.
Both the zeros.
Yeah.
And it'll be interesting
how they market these.
I mean,
it's all the rage
because look,
sugar's not so great for you.
And we love our zero calories.
You know,
seeing the 17 spoonfuls of sugar.
Have you ever seen that,
that,
that comparison?
Oh, that's what my father would do. Yes, literally would 17 spoonfuls of sugar. Have you ever seen that comparison? Oh, that's what my father would do.
Yes, literally would spoon 16 tablespoons of sugar onto a plate,
take my Dr. Pepper, and say, have this instead.
True story.
It's effective.
That's why I'm funny.
Yeah, but I think you're going to see more and more people, like, switching over
because awareness drives activity and they're doing it.
But Pepsi's just got to work on that formula a little bit.
It can't quite.
It's a little too syrupy.
It's like their tagline should be almost as good as Coke.
Like.
A soft smear campaign.
And I like Pepsi.
Like the branding and marketing.
I like their CMO.
I like, I think they do like the right tactics.
Sure.
You know, they got Cardi B like dance around doing like trendy hip stuff.
Like, but it just isn't quite as good.
Yeah.
It's just being real.
Like, I mean, I get my part of my brand is honesty and you know, I could pander to.
Calls it as he sees it.
You know, but that Coke Zero is tasty.
So good.
So good.
I do like the branding. So check that out if you hadn't already seen it. You know, but that Coke Zero is tasty. So good. So good. I do like the branding.
So check that out if you hadn't already seen it.
And what else?
Do we have another small talk?
We got, I think that's it for today.
Oh, what else is happening out there?
We've got this week's podcast.
Yeah.
The Radcast versus food.
Yes.
We love our food talk.
I know.
It's funny when we have these guests and some of them have been a couple years.
When we repost these best
of, almost half
of them will DM me, like, you know,
thanking me for exposing
them out and all that. But
I also get to catch up with them. So it's like
selfishly, it's for the audience,
but it's also like rekindles
like a DM or something. Totally. And so
shout out to all of them.
Casey Webb, my man from Man Vs. Food.
He's so great.
I love that show.
So great.
It's so good.
Just stuffing his face with real food.
I love watching people eat like too much.
If you ever watch Man Vs. Food,
do your favor and go like check that out.
Like he's always doing the food challenges
at the restaurants.
Like 17 pounds of nachos.
God. See, I've always wanted to do one of those because i think i would shock people because i think i
could do it yeah i i'm not i'd be out of commission for a week but i don't know yeah but i could do
it we talked about that like dude how do you prepare for that he's like it's it's interesting so uh check it out we had uh lots of our favorite
noah sims from master chef we had spike mendelsohn from plant burger we had my man cosmo from cosmo's
cube all the best and uh jonathan sento one of the best chefs in America. A recap and the best of all of our food entrepreneurs is what I would kind of summarize that.
A lot of topical and interesting topics that I think any business owner could learn from.
So it's not just about food, but really interesting.
Their stories combined with how they've grown in popularity and how they leverage food towards their own celebrity and everything.
So fascinating discussion. The Radcast versus food that launched on Tuesday. Go check that out. We've got a quick
watch episode of all of our shows. It's a good time to mention that, you know, who not everybody
has 30, 40 hours sometimes. So we do 10 minute versions on Instagram, IG, as well as YouTube.
So you can get the best of every episode.
Cut all the fat,
you know,
but the bread and butter is getting on audio,
getting on that treadmill.
That's what I do with my favorite podcast.
Hot girl walks,
popping my podcast and go.
Exactly.
And next week,
Dr.
Amy Shaw,
man,
tell you what,
talking about making,
we're talking about all this food. She's not going to be drinking Pepsi. No Pepsi, Dr. Amy Shaw. Man, tell you what, we're talking about all this food.
She's not going to be drinking Pepsi.
No Pepsi for Dr. Amy and no more nachos for me.
Or Doritos or Oreos.
Or Oreos because processed food is not good for you.
And I cried a little bit during the episode.
Sarga and I both were handing each other tissues.
But in all seriousness,
she's awesome. Very insightful. I can't wait to listen to that one. Uh, about what you should or
shouldn't be eating and you know what it does to your mood. Right. You know, what you eat is how
you feel. And it's true. Cause like, you know, you eat that big ice cream Sunday. It's like,
man, that first three minutes is like heaven. then about 10 minutes later like sleepy and crashing
and you know so totally the uh excuse me i have a drink of my water the uh hydration is i loved her
but i didn't like her like fair i loved her as a person but i didn't like hard hard hard truths you
know the hard truths of eating. But it is.
Look, here's the thing.
We have a lot of people listening to the show that are high-driving people,
like entrepreneurs trying to get the best of yourself.
If you're trying to get the best of yourself, what you eat matters.
You've got to take care of this.
Because it controls your mood, your energy levels, and I feel it. Because when I'm freaking going hard and like today eating my peanut
butter crackers, it's not really cutting it.
Right.
But you know, and I.
Sometimes that happens though.
Sometimes it does.
But you got to just keep bringing it because, you know, when I'm hungry, I typically reach
for steak.
Amen to that.
And when I want good steak.
And not just any steak.
It's a good rancher steak.
Straight to the house.
Oh, so good.
I made a bacon egg sandwich which i think
dr shaw would be okay with and then i fried the egg in the bacon fat oh listen it is the best
bacon i've ever had i'm addicted to it it's so good but seriously they're a great company it's
the only 100 american farm raised meat you can get they've got great company. It's the only 100% American farm-raised meat you can get. They've got meat, seafood, all the things.

This is steakhouse-quality meat delivered right to your door from an American family,
serving the best meat right out of Texas and a few other states where some of their cattle and different things are,
but it's all U.S.-based.
You can store it.
It lasts forever.
There's some umpteen million pounds imported every year.
Yep.
there's some umpteen million pounds imported every year yep i used to think i knew like oh it's in the butcher at my local grocery store uh it's okay no it's not always okay and uh let me
tell you if taste matters to you then you want good ranchers amen i had a new york strip two
nights ago had some friends over family and uh let's just say i'm the most popular uh barbecue
steak hooker there you go in the upstate of south carolina oh oh thanks to good ranchers
it's the secret weapon of of my grilling and it should become yours so give them some give them
some love we only promote what we like and you'll thank us. Believe me. Good ranchers,
good ranchers.com. We've got some social media news. I know we already kind of teased a little
bit with Tik TOK, but there is a Tik TOK band backup plan. Uh, the same owners of Tik TOK
bite dance have an Instagram type platform called lemon eight. That's the word lemon,
the number eight, uh, that just hit the number 10. That's in the
top 10 of the apps in the Apple store. I wondered when this was going to happen. Yeah. Cause there's
too much smoke going on that someone's gonna take advantage of this. And it does. It feels like a
hybrid between, again, I've played with it for maybe four minutes altogether, but it feels like
a hybrid between Instagram and Tik TOK.
Cause I'm not following friends. I'm following like other influencers and it's that mass consumption of
content like Tik TOK gives you,
but they're,
it's more static.
So we'll see what happens.
But there's still a home by bite dance.
So it wasn't the same issue.
One would think.
One would think.
Okay.
So that was just taken on.
They're just trying to take it all.
We'll see what happens. They want, they want the video, all video taking on, they're just trying to take it all. We'll see what happens.
They want the video, all video platform, and they're coming for Instagram too.
You know, I don't know where that's going to play out.
I don't either.
It's like if the government wants to shut it down,
they're probably going to figure out a way to shut it down.
I think there's too much money and taxes involved.
They might force a sale and it'll be underhanded or something who knows but i think if i had all
my eggs in the tiktok basket as a content creator be a little leery yeah and so as a brand i think
i'm not i don't think i should pull any ads from it just yet yeah if it's working for you i might
uh quadruple down now totally totally. Burn while the fire's hot.
Yeah.
Because you might have to pause that if it goes away for so many amount of time.
Absolutely.
But we'll see what happens.
Yeah.
Elon Musk says that Twitter will only show verified accounts on its algorithmic timeline.
So Elon Musk has announced that on April 15th, Twitter's algorithmic for you timeline will only show verified accounts.
This is interesting.
I really just like the two words algorithmic timeline.
It's a satisfying.
I read it a bunch and you said it and I'm like, hmm, my algorithmic timeline.
Algorithmic timeline.
Yeah.
From Elon Musk.
His second cologne.
Look, this guy's playing chess here.
Like he makes you pay to get verified and now he's going to, you know, promote your stuff on the For You page.
You're going to get more awareness.
Yeah.
Here's the little insider.
This is what you call ads.
When you pay for more exposure, it's called buying ads. It's kind of like me talking, you
know, in a room right now versus me getting distributed on our podcast network. Uh, more
people hear it. And so what he's done is he's made users pay to get verified and to thus get seen and
heard by more people. So you're essentially running your
own individual personal brand ads by being a verified. Yeah. It's another way to look at it.
I mean, we can convolute it and make it all this stuff, but that's really what it is. Like
ads for you, you know, like literally, like if you want what you're saying to be heard by more
people, uh, and this is look 20 years ago when social media barely existed or didn't exist,
this was the only way to be heard by more
was through press and or TV
or mass outdoor campaign.
And so Elon's just saying,
hey, I've got the network.
We have all these users.
It's been free for so long.
If you want to magnify and amplify what you're saying,
then you're going to pay for it.
Yeah.
And it does keep the bots down.
I mean, I do, again,
I don't really know where I fall on my opinion
of Elon Musk sometimes,
but I can see as someone that owns the platform,
as a business, you know,
from a business standpoint,
this does make a lot of sense.
Yeah.
I don't know what it's going to pay for it.
I don't think my tweets are that important but i don't pay for it and i don't know that i
am active and i view i view timelines a lot but i am totally i post like once a month totally and i
feel like i just post more because in some ways it's kind of like while i liked instagram it first
came out simple like facebook was just so overwhelmed like i don't want all that shit
like let me post an image or a photo and move on.
Totally.
And look at things.
And Twitter, I'm primarily voyeuristic and just looking, you know,
and see if there's anything insightful or at least some troll.
Sports.
Like really pulling a good joke.
Totally.
That's really, that's all in my like announcements.
Like, cause I do still get like announcements on Twitter.
And it's, it's nine out of 10 of them are when someone's trolling somebody else. that's all in my like announcements like because i do still get like announcements on twitter and
it's it's nine out of ten of them are when someone's trolling somebody else like and it's
usually pretty clever yeah but annoying if i was the person on the other end of it that's how
twitter feels yes do you want to give a shout out to the official wellness partner yes of the Radcast, vacay, take a vacay.com.
Check them out.
Health and wellness products that look,
here's the deal.
We all need to relax.
We all need to unwind.
Yep.
Like need that serotonin boost without the ice cream.
And you can have 10 beers.
You can have four glasses of wine or you can have one gummy,
have a gummy from vacay and relax and not feel like shit the next day.
Right.
And so health and wellness are also part of taking care of yourself.
And look, we all need to get away and relax a little bit.
And when you think of getting away, it really starts with vacay.
Absolutely.
Had a little alliteration there.
You don't really get away unless you're on vacay.
Yeah.
Hey, it's true, though.
Hey, I mean, I went to Mexico and getting away.
I had my vacay hat on and like 20 people were like, oh, yeah.
People like that.
You know, who doesn't want to get on a vacay?
Right.
You know, you want that feeling.
That vacay is a it's a positive word.
Right.
Agreed.
We're getting nods from Sawyer.
And I just I don't know they make everyone
because like when i wore the hat like i'd put that i had the hat on well bye
and like the other dads like one you know we're all on vacay yeah makes you smile so uh when you
want to get away the best products in america lots of new stuff coming out multivitamins coming out
they've got a cbd cbd topical cream coming out. Third party lab tested across the board. Exactly. So you know what you're
getting coming from a reputable company. And look, when it's time to get away, take a vacay.
Take a vacay. Take a vacay.com. Tell them the Radcast sent you.
On to our marketing news. Michelob Ultra. I know I make fun of you for that,
but they are the first sponsor of the network dedicated to women's sports.
Michelob Ultra has signed on as the first major sponsor of women's sports network
and ad-supported streaming service dedicated to women's sports.
All right.
We're going to marketing geek out for a second here.
I'm ready.
The number, we'll call it one A or C.
I don't want to say it was number one, but let's close. Know your audience. Know your audience.
Michelob Ultra knows their audience. It's they skew towards women. It's a lighter beer and it's
healthier because it's less calories. And so it is very skewed towards women and their marketing
traditionally has been towards that and they're leaning into it. And this makes a lot of sense.
And it's the number one key. If you want to attract the lowest hanging fruit, the biggest
opportunity is to increase the pool of the audience that, you know, you already have.
Yeah. So super smart. And Hey hey i'm all look i've been
watching the women's basketball tournament it's been exciting yeah you know i mean i look do i
enjoy it as much as i watch like and i don't even watch that much basketball even playing basketball
growing up i don't watch much basketball like maybe not but it doesn't have to be equally
exciting to be exciting right you know like there's layers to things and it's you things. And it's, you know, it's, it's the same game,
but it's different, right?
So if you go into it knowing like,
oh, this is, this is going to be a different experience.
I think I've finally watched enough women's basketball
to where I know and appreciate
that it's going to be different.
Yeah.
And so I don't have, like when I first watched it,
I'm like, oh, I just thought,
well, this isn't as same as the men's game
and I'm not going to see 12 dunks or something.
Right, right, right.
But then.
But they're still going hard.
You watch the women's South Carolina team play.
And let me tell you, talking about dominant.
I'm obsessed with their coach.
She is such a force.
I think she, if she wants it, I think she could be like a top 20 men's.
Like she could coach anything.
Like in basketball.
Absolutely.
I think it'd be fascinating to see her go coach like a, I don't know,
NBA team or a men's college basketball team just to see it.
Such a force.
You know, like just to kind of break that.
Such a force.
Like her players are so disciplined.
Like she gets the best players in the country that all scored, you know,
20,000 points in high school and they all play their role.
And you can tell
that she just has
the pulse of that team.
I just respect the hell
out of the way she coaches.
She works them hard.
They even say it.
I was so hoping
I would run into her
when she was in town.
I love you, Don Staley.
I just liked your Louis Vuitton
on the other night.
Did you see that?
I was like,
she's rocking it.
I was like, that's cool.
She's such a badass.
And our last article we have,
this is great.
I love this so much.
Heinz rejects imposters for ketchup fraud campaign.
Kraft Heinz launched a new campaign called ketchup fraud,
which is inspired by a viral Snapchat post.
The campaign encourages consumers to tag restaurants,
filling the Heinz bottles with generic ketchup brands.
Look,
it's Heinz or nothing else.
I mean, and they know it,
so they're leaning into it.
Agreed.
And so it's like,
it's the only ketchup.
Like I will,
I really won't eat.
Like I'm trying to think the last time.
I don't even like ketchup,
but I like,
I'll fuck with Heinz.
You'll have the Heinz. If I have to, it'll be Heinz.
If you have to have it.
I had no idea.
I thought everybody liked ketchup until you and Nick said you didn't like it.
But I saw you like ketchup.
Oh, man.
What the hell is going on?
Three out of four just so-so.
Are you a mustard guy?
Yeah, mustard.
Mustard may.
All right. Heard. mustard guy? Yeah, mustard. Mustard and mayo.
All right.
Heard.
Ah.
Yeah, I'm of that.
I'm like a truffle aioli gal. This is three out of four.
I thought it would be
like everybody like ketchup.
I mean, I don't like
squirt it in my mouth
or anything,
but like a fucking french fry
or onion rings.
It's got to be a really
bland french fry
for me to want.
Man, I had a good onion ring
the other night.
Man, it was like a Nathan's.
I love onion rings.
God, without ketchup, that would not have been okay, but it was delicious.
So it was the ketchup that was really sold it.
The Heinz ketchup.
But this is, look, they picked up on something that went viral.
They went Snapchat and it's like, and they lean into it.
And so.
And it doesn't cost them anything.
This is where people struggle, like what ads to create.
Yeah.
It's called user generated content.
And sometimes it can inform more than just what you're doing.
It can help create a freaking campaign.
Like, yeah, it's like we will make things so hard.
It's like you got when you're a brand this big and you have the loyal following where clearly it is Heinz or nothing or a fraud.
You lean into this stuff.
I mean, so hats off to Heinz or nothing or a fraud. You lean into this stuff. I mean, so hats off to Heinz.
Wouldn't take much to give them hats off anyway
because I love them.
I do love ketchup.
I love ketchup.
Hard pass.
Yeah.
