Or unless Storm wants to get in on it. Chris's fantastical lab there in the vacay lounge. What's up, Chris?

Sometimes he has a few announcements of himself once in a while. I know. We wanted to wreck our intro there. It started at howling at the moon. Or at Linda. Not this time. Oh, Chris, how's the week? The week is good, man.

The weather is beautiful. It's cooling down. Ugg boots are coming out. Beanies are coming on. It's getting tested down here in Miami, bro. If it hits what, like 68, 69, like a low at night. Yeah. I was literally on my way to the pool yesterday, like bathing suit, towel, and there's people in the elevator with like turtlenecks on. I'm like, all right,

it's for the fashion just do it for the gram people want to be cozy exactly yeah I hope everyone listening is doing fantastic wherever whenever however you are you never know where you might be listening it could be three years into the future

you could be in 2027 right now listening to this episode and we give you a shout out. Someone will be listening. That's the thing. This stuff lasts forever, Chris. I thought about this yesterday. You're right. Someone might be like, what was happening October 20th, 2023?

Yes. They could come back into the time capsule that is the Radcast. We appreciate you for making us the number one marketing and business show on Apple. We continue to hold that spot. We're about 40 days in. We're not looking back, Chris. No looking back. Never, ever.

Keep climbing. If you're a first-time listener, we appreciate you coming on. You're catching our weekly news edition. We have two episodes a week. We do a guest episode on Tuesdays and our weekly business and marketing news on Fridays. Chris and I like to ham it up and have a good time while also trying to give you some insights

that might not be as obvious as they might always seem. Try to bring it down to a practical level, some of the things that are happening in business and marketing. And when we try to bring it down to a practical level. Some of the things that are happening in business and marketing. And when we try to keep it in the business front, we know there's a lot of serious shit going on out there, but we're here to talk business. And it starts with a smart play from M&M's.

One of my favorite candies. They're partnering with GoPuff, which made me stop for a second. GoPuff. I thought it was like a... You've never used GoPuff, which maybe stop for a second. GoPuff. I thought it was like a... You've never used GoPuff before? No. Is that different than Vistacard? Same concept, but I think the basis was like for stoners.

That's where my head went. Like a munchies delivery service. GoPuff. But they're good. They're very good. So what's going to happen is, and this is brilliant because this happens at the offers. Someone eats all the candy before all the kids get me. And we run out as the Halloweeners, the trick-or-treaters come to the house.

So now GoPuff is partnering with M&M's so same day halloween candy so you don't run out smart smart makes sense the good way to get their name out there for sure halloween is what 10 11 days away we're getting eerily close here that's crazy nash who's been a little under the weather, who's my youngest, he's seven and a half, has been he's had his costume for about five days and he's worn it every day. He is officially a hot dog. What is that? He's a hot dog costume. That makes it even better.

He's like just repping the hot dog. When he comes home from school, he puts on that fucking hot dog and he is running around the house and he's been sick the last couple days so i've been home with him sick and yesterday he's starting to finally feel better i knew he's feeling better when he put the hot dog costume on and he came in i'm like cleaning up the kitchen and he's there's a spill daddy on in the on aisle four they got a hot dog and he's like laying in the floor like he's so funny come clean me up like yeah you're like all right you're ready to go back to school yeah told him i was going to catch up with him if i mustered up enough energy oh got him dad jokes galore the. He relished the moment.

Oh, my God. It's too much. But it has been quite fun watching Nash run around in a hot dog costume. It puts a smile on your face. I don't care who you are. You can be the biggest grump in the world. When a seven-year-old's running around in a hot dog costume, it's entertaining so even if it's a 70 year old it would still be probably entertaining to me yes so nash is geared up and ready and if you're not

hey check out this partnership so you know that gopuff can deliver m&m straight to your destination so you don't leave those trick-or-treaters hanging out to dry. You don't want that. Yeah. I debated whether I was going to bring this up, and I said, fucking, I'm going to bring it up. And it's because Maren Morris has decided to leave country music. And I just said, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Supposedly, she disagrees with all the lyrics that are patriotic and a little too Americana for her. And so she's officially leaving country music.

And that's what country music is, isn't it? What are we doing here? Just these people never cease to amaze me, dude. Yeah. Get a grip. Like she's going to cancel all the Jason aldeans and all these people it's like it we either have free speech we can either say they can sing if you know we don't if you don't like it you can sing songs written by the state yeah that has happened in history approved

songs yeah or here's a thought go write some country music with different topics. Exactly. If that's how you feel. And she has. She's been poppy from the get-go. And so it's fine. I get tired of her songs. They play them too much.

But she's a talented artist. But I don't know why she's got to go make this profound thing that she's leaving country music. It's like, oh, God. Holy shit, people. She's a legend in her own mind obviously clearly some of these celebrities i know if you're out there and you want to cry a little tear because maren morris is leaving country music we'll we'll allow you to do that so we just wanted to bring you all the happening news i brought this up because i'm i'm in a country state of mind chris i hit the House of Blues this last weekend,

seeing my boys, Thousand Horses and Warren Zeters. Really great show. I tell you what, this is a really interesting show. Number one, great artistry. Thousand Horses, if you have never seen them, if you played them, if country music at all, if you looked them up and played a couple of their hits, you'd be like, okay, I've heard them on the radio.

Amazing artist. Michael Hobby's a friend. He's been on the show. And we got the VIP treatment. I'm not going to lie. We were like right there on the floor at a table getting served with like ropes around us like with a security guard. The velvet ropes. Oh, yeah.

Velvet ropes. And security like keeping people away from us. I was like, I felt really important for a couple hours for the first time ever. That's the way to do it. And then we got backstage in the blue room or whatever the hell, green room, with Michael and the band after the show. Nicest guy on the face of the planet. He's a total rock star, by the way.

Amazing showmanship. And then the band is so nice. They're from, go figure, they're from South Carolina. They're from Newberry Boys. Southern guys. Amazing show. And Warren Zeters was really good. But get this.

Girls were throwing bras on the stage at the end of his show. I felt like it was the weirdest thing. Like, I know he's a good-looking guy, really good artist, but it was just a little unexpected. It was clearly part of the show because one of the band guys had a stick that they were putting the bras on.

So it's obviously a thing. So this happens often for them. This happens often. And I was like, I was not expecting it. Rock stars do still exist. I know. It was. He's got it going on. Anyway, really good show. House of Blues

is awesome in Myrtle Beach. Not a lot I love about Myrtle Beach, but the House of Blues is still cool and a great place to see a show. If you haven't, go listen to both A Thousand Horses and War Insiders. You'll thank me. They're really good music.

And A Thousand Horses is more like Southern rock or just rock and roll. They're country, but they're just fucking amazing musicians. So shout out to them and fascinating at the concert. Did your wife love it? She was unexpected, too. Look, he's a good looking guy. Like, I was like did your wife love it yeah she was unexpected too look he's a good looking guy like i was like hey i get it but it just wasn't exactly you just looked over and nicole was reaching under her shirt too and just doing a toss and you're like what the hell honey wait you've got a secret shirt on already. Nah.

Oh, it was good. And he's cool. He's young and living his best life. He's like 24, 25. And in other news, I thought this was good. And we'll get back to our business market news. We got to entertain a little bit. We're telling a little personal stories.

I want you to know what it's all about. The TikTok. The TikTok. Is TikTok is unveiling. I thought this was clever as hell. They're expanding the reach of their content outside of just a platform. So they've unveiled the out-of-phone ad solution for brands. So if you're familiar with out-of-home, it's billboards. And out-of-phone, which is super smart playing off the words,

because again, most 80% of advertising now is on the phone. So basically what they've done is you still have all these digital billboards that are up and around and you can buy, get access to that at those ad platforms to do, to buy a digital ad out of home placement. And what TikTok's doing is they're extending their content so that, okay, like either your existing content if you're a brand or trending content that will then play in these digital placements. So leveraging that content that's already made a hit on the phone platform into maybe a digital video on a billboard or in a movie theater or these other placements where you have digital out of boards, out of home boards. And so they're allowing brands to tie into that and sponsor that content.

I think it's super smart because. Yeah. Here's the thing, the content that is entertaining and the reason that people dig it on their phones, it will also resonate and grab attention elsewhere. If you're in a movie theater and you're catching one of those movie theater ads or a digital video that's playing at the gas station, you see those now that training content is going to be just as interesting there on that screen as it is on your phone it got attention for a reason so to tie into that and to build ads around it is incredibly smart

and whoever came up without a phone i'm sorry i'm just an ad geek. I'm going to geek out. That was a great wordplay. Yeah. Yes. So TikTok expanding. And so I'll say this. TikTok is really expand their ad platform. You can now buy search ads, essentially place ads that go on there. And if you aren't paying attention, Google is certainly still the king. But between Instagram search and TikTok search, people look up shit there. They look up recipes. They look up products. How to do this.

Yes. And so you can buy ads around that search, which shows intent. The power of search ads has always been it's someone raising their hand. I'm going, I am searching for this. That's why they're so expensive, the ads. And so you can buy it within the platform. And so if you aren't testing TikTok, if you're a brand, a company, whatever, now's the time to be doing it. They've got a lot of really great deals now too. They're cutting like getting aggressive, getting people to buy two for one, spend a hundred dollars, get a hundred dollars, a lot of ad credits and things. So there you go. We are not sponsored by TikTok, but I'm

high on them right now with what they're doing from an ad platform standpoint and out of phone is brilliant. Speaking of ad platforms, Netflix expands advertising opportunity and adds live sports sponsorships. Netflix introduces new advertising opportunities, including single title sponsorships, sponsorship of its live sports events in a binge ad format, a binge ad format,

the three words I enjoy, aiming to reward viewers and enhance brand visibility so speaking of in a binge ad format inserts brand spots amid viewers been watching sessions so if you've been binge watching your favorite show you're not gonna and they know you're like you're gonna watch all eight of those episodes. They're going to throw an ad in between. So they're getting you one way or another. Yes. We thought we'd escaped the ads with the streaming platforms.

Yeah, exactly. It's the same thing with, and look, I have a t-shirt that says ad supported. So I can't hit the play. Don't let the player hit the game. It's interesting because listening i have a serious xm and forever that was the ad free you pay to get radio and more and more there's ads on stuff there's now talking heads it's like on some of my favorite like stations it's like this guy won't shut up he talks for three minutes about something and i'm like i thought i'm paying for ad free or talk free yeah yeah express vpn here's a 30 second thing on why you need it yes

like fast forward at least you can fast forward most of them most of them maybe at least with when you're doing the vacay and the caldera lab read, it's pretty quick. Exactly. It's quick and built it in. We build our reads into it. We don't just blast you with pre-recorded stuff. Because let's be honest. Mid-sentence just play.

If you're watching this, which you should be on either Instagram or YouTube or Facebook or one of the platforms, you've got to come and see the vacay lounge that Chris is in, the chance that Storm might make it and drop in. And you got to see, compare Ryan's skin to episodes last year because how glowing it is now because of Caldera Labs. Let's be honest, Chris. The bags under these eyes a year ago were a lot heavier than they are now because the icon, you know it. Let's be honest, Chris. The bags under these eyes a year ago were a lot heavier than they are now.

Because the icon. You look much better. You know it. Dude. You can't get this look anywhere else except in a bottle. And you know what, Chris? I happen to have a bottle right here. It's called The Good. It's why this glow happens.

Tell me more about it. It makes Ryan look good. This is not, this doesn't just happen. Like, I wish it did. Some of us just wake up naturally looking beautiful. And I have to use bottles of the best premium men's skincare line on the planet, which is called Air Labs. And the only reason this beard is actually starting to look like a beard is because of the new beard serum.

The beard. It's all the stuff, Chris, because it's the best. I love it. Yes. Calderalab.com. Use Rad Ryan. Get 20% off. Tell them I sent you.

And if I like it, I'll talk about it. And you know what? I knew because Ms. Offord suddenly couldn't resist this. That's right.

After 10 years, she's, baby, you looking good. I'm like, hey, just a glow. Oh, yeah, boy. Yes. So my secret weapon and your secret weapon needs to be calderalab.com. Rad Ryan, 20% off. It works. That's why I use it.

And it's the bomb. Speaking of the bomb taylor swift freaking tay swift always she's she makes it always an appearance so she's had her concerts playing in movie theaters the eras tour and there's four takeaways from Variety. Makes a historic, it earned 95 to 97 million domestically and 130 million globally from the film series. Selling records for a concert film and demonstrating that variable pricing can work for highly anticipated films. films. The film's unconventional distribution and marketing, along with its emphasis on creating a communal theatrical experience, show that innovation and movie distribution can be successful. However, replicating the success of such films may be challenging for artists and studios without Swift's star pack. Yeah. That one last disclaimer,

unless you're Taylor Swift or one of three other icons on the planet that could pull this shit off. Dude, I invested in a movie. It premiered last Friday, Newport beach film festival. Topper is the film. Nice. Yes, I do know that. How did it go? It was great. It went great. I would have loved to have seen it. I just, I was know that. How did it go? It was great. It went great.

I would have loved to have seen it. I just, I was under the weather, but ain't no way we're doing $95 million. And we've got, and we have some well-known Hollywood people in it, but the movie industry to do what she did is damn near impossible at this point i feel like yeah because you're going concert experience is usually about the concert being at the concert the live aspect the fans that are around you right watching the concert at an in a theater

it just feels like it's i guess the music you can't turn it up that's one thing you are in a sound environment that they can blast that shit and make it feel ridiculous so i guess i can understand that but i never quite understood the the watching of a i guess if you couldn't cough up those like 400 bucks a ticket, this is the next thing for only $75. You know what a concert ticket probably $30 million. If Teresa has got to be a billionaire, right?

Like she's got to be getting close. The fact that you do 130 million off of a recording of the concert is what do we even know what they did off the actual tour? to $130 million off of a recording of the concert is... Do we even know what they did off the actual tour? It was hundreds of millions. Hundreds of millions. How's she not a billionaire on just merch alone? Those Swifties buy everything.

She should be unless she's getting a bad deal. Yeah. Maybe Scooter Braun's to blame. She's not getting her deal. Yeah. Which. Hey, maybe Scooter Braun's to blame. She's not getting her take on that. Right. He's still getting 8% of her merch forever and lifetimes in blood. Oh my God.

Probably. Maybe, who knows. But I don't know that it tells us much of anything because I think the last point was the one, don't get too excited about showing concerts. It's Taylor Swift. And she's got more pull power than about any other star in the world right now.

Yeah, she can touch anything right now and it'll probably be golden. Yeah. Travis Kelsey. Exactly. Oh, I could go somewhere there, but I'm going to leave it alone. Reality Defender has raised $15 million to detect text, video, and image deepfakes. It's a startup focused on detecting deepfakes and AI-generated content.

It's raised $15 million in a Series A fund. The funds will be used to expand the company's team and enhance its AI content detection models. It aims to stay ahead of evolving deepfake methods and models, offering an API

and a web app to analyze videos, audio, text, and images for signs of AI-driven alteration. It claims to achieve a high deepfake accuracy rate through an ensemble of detection models that's some good writing there ensemble of detection models

the uh it's a lot of a lot of nice copy in there yeah there's is good give tech crunch editor all the credit there techcrunch.com brings this it's always going to be cops and robbers and the robbers stay ahead of the cops or good guys bad guys so you got defects and people trying to detect them so who stays ahead of who great idea but i look at a company like this and i wonder how do you monetize outside of big i think like a microsoft if they get it if they become like the standard some of the big companies that could really be like a built-in software that's attached to your browser internet explorer if it still existed but i'll tell you this is this is an altered being altered image yes so then anything that pops up on your screen it's automatically detecting it

it says but just know it's rated df deep fake like the tom hanks ad for what was it the dental insurance company we talked about yes you see now like on the social media where we all saw this during the pandemic whereas like they're slapping the misinformation label on there which i think because even i'm noticing a lot more frequency of seeing deep fakes and usually it's like a meme it's funny stuff it's not something serious yeah but i know there's people that are watching it that don't know it's like a meme. It's funny stuff. It's not something serious. Yeah. But I know there's people that are watching it that don't know it's a deep thing. If I send it to my dad,

for example, right. Like one of these. Everything they see on the internet's real. Like no, I know, man, no CGI,

no filters. It's I'm, I'm on the opposite. I'm at the point where I might believe 50 of what i see now yeah i'm cynical a little bit anyway and now i'm like i'm i'm always wondering what the stick is like what's there's something what's the sell yeah who's selling me what and why yeah Yeah. But it can be entertaining. I wouldn't mind seeing, I don't know, Forrest Gump, I don't know, running in the Olympics or something. Oh, there's definitely some really entertaining ones. And that's why I think it's going to continue just to blow up is there's so much comedy coming out of deep fakes. There's so much comedy coming out of deep fakes.

Yeah. I like watching Keanu Reeves. He seems to always be the punch boy. He always gets used for something, robbing a store or doing something. And it's really not funny, but it's entertaining because I know it's fake, and I don't hold that against him and judge him in any way. It's just some of the common players that always seem to rise up and get their personas taken as long as people know that shit's fake but that's the scary thing you don't know people are gullible yeah i think you have people just hitting the share button

and impulsively without oh god that's all facebook is now. I love my family, but like I have these aunts that, that I get on. I really avoid Facebook, like the plague, to be honest with you, but I get on there for 30 seconds and it's my aunts have shared every conspiracy theory, every, and I'm like, Oh God. That and I've got every family friend I ever grew up with. And I've got every family friend I ever grew up with. Someone's imitating, creating a fake profile for them and then DMing me like for money. Yeah. And it's like my dad's best friend that I like could text him and be like,

Hey bro. Like it, there's just, I don't know. Facebook to me has become a little bit, I don't know if trashy is the right word. It's I don't know. trashy is the right word. It's, I don't know.

Whatever filters do. Oh, hold on. It's become too many, too mass. It's like Craigslist. Yes. And there's just so many people on it. Everybody's on it because there was a level of, dare I say. Like when you needed a college email address to register at one point. That was a long time ago.

But I'm just talking about there was a level of, I don't know, civility and common sense. Authenticity. That when you had the early to mid adopters and now that it's everybody, it's, it's what do you say? Regress to the mean. Yeah. It's something. Yeah. I don't have anything else to say. Yeah. It's like the yard sale. Yeah. Which I like having a good yard sale. Just don't come try to knock down my $1 price to 50 cents.

It's a dollar, damn it. No matter what I price it at, they want a half price. I'm like, God. All right, it's $2. You can have it for a dollar. People love a negotiation. I'm going to double the price just for you and then cut it in half. Next, Elon Musk.

This was like hitting all my feed stuff earlier is testing an annual fee for unverified accounts Twitter now known as X if you've been paying attention I've been calling out how long we're going to have to say that is testing a subscription program called

not a bot in New Zealand and the Philippines to be rolled out worldwide, requiring new users to pay a dollar annual fee for posting and interacting. However, the fee is waived if they subscribed to the $3.99 per month premium service, affecting only new web accounts and not existing users. Is this kind of the equivalent of when you fill out a form you have to do little security things like draw a bus or something or pick out like the stuff yeah that keeps spam from playing like

getting into your mailbox because that's an extra step that a bot really can't take and when you can enter the captcha this is like the cap shift for twitter because because if you have to pay a dollar, it's like an extra step so you don't get these tons of fake accounts created, which is what happens every day. So that's what he's trying to weed out. Yeah, it's true. It's about the money, but it's also about weeding out the bots, not a bot. And there is, I think, a worthwhile venture in that regard. But. Agree.

And it's a freaking dollar. I like how, yeah. And honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if some of these bot farms just. Paid a dollar. Paid a dollar. Probably. Yeah. But I think it's the extra step probably of paying the dollar and tying it to a payment account and all that.

Which would probably cut down bots by 90%. I think that's what he's trying to do. I hope so. I hope so because. It's troll city on Twitter. Yeah, man. It's almost, it's like the deep fake thing. Like you're creating influence out of nothing with an agenda.

Yeah. And I'll get on Twitter a couple of couple times a week it's not my biggest platform clearly but i'll get on there for news or just to read through it and i'm in there for 10 minutes and it's the same thing i'll read a few of the comments or replies i'm like that just sounds like someone trolling or egging or they might be real they're probably a bot yeah Yeah. No, I agree. I think it's, I like it less for people getting fake interaction more. I think there's people that maliciously use it to push opinions politically, specifically that I think just like a troll, dude, there's just people out there that just want to create chaos. Yes. just like a troll dude there's just people out there that just want to create chaos yes and i do think foreign countries probably definitely use it oh 100 percent to press you fool not to to use it to to influence people's opinions we're we're in information war now that's right did you know tomorrow's reptile awareness day

i did not know that october 21st i'll make sure to give an extra nod to all the little iguanas i see walking on the sidewalk yeah down here is a snake a reptile yeah yeah yes cameron's nodding saying that it is that i'm gonna not celebrate this day because i'm not a big snake lover no i don't really like tiles let's be honest it's cold blooded motherfuckers who wants a snake around or i don't know green lizard i feel the same way dude my friend i had one friend that had snakes growing up and the snake's name was dante and i'm like dude you're just opening yourself up to bad shit bro yeah get a fucking dog that's gonna wrap your things around you and squeak or something no

part of me is he had it he had the tank next to his bed and I'm like, dude, no part of me wants to sleep next to a five foot python. No. I don't get it. I can get down with the fish tank, relaxing, calming. Yeah, those fish are not going to get out of there and eat you. They're not piranhas.
