Yeah, right?

Like Las Vegas, California, Mexico. He wouldn't probably do Las Vegas because he looks old enough. But yeah. He does have a full grown beard. Oh, pretty much. Pretty close. We had tickets throughout his last couple of birthdays and Christmas. We had tickets to see Trailer Park Boys.

We had tickets to see Impractical Jokers. All this different stuff. Yeah. Canceled. Canceled. COVID just can to see Impractical Jokers. All this different stuff. Yeah. Canceled. Canceled. COVID just cancels everything. Everything. It's getting old.

I know. Really old. Yeah. And look, everything, all the prices have gone up. We give our, the last three years, we've done experiences. We give, you know, small guests, but the boys get a trip. Yeah. We went to Mexico last year.

We started looking at trips this year. And we looked, and I was like, looking back at what we spent last year on the trip. We for four nights it's like five grand sure too bad that's not bad you know for the whole family um this year everything's about double really i don't know if it's inflation or or supply and demand but like we even looked at like just the same trip we weren't going to go to the same place but i just wanted to compare apples to apples. Same trip was like $8,500. Exact same trip. Really? And then everywhere else we're looking is like $8,000 to $10,000 for like four nights. Go to Vegas, it's like $1,000.

Yeah. Literally. Well, you get a five-year-old and a ten-year-old. Yeah, there's stuff to do. Your wife can take that. I know. So she can watch the kids and I'll stay in the casino. Sure.

Yeah, perfect. You know, I'm going to Vegas 16th through the 21st or something like that. Yeah. That's my daughter's, actually it's a birthday present. She's of age. She's 22. So yeah, so y'all can both gamble and smoke cigarettes in the lounge. Sure.

Whatever. Buy some illicit drugs from the concierge. Yeah, I know. What about the smoke boxes? Actually, you don't even have to go to a lounge in Vegas. A lot of those casinos are still smoking. Allow smoking? Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. What about smoking weed? Oh, are you kidding? You can smoke weed in the casino? Whether it's like, it's not expressly forbidden because you'll smell it. Sure. Now, it's not just being walked around, puff, puff.

Sure. Pass around or anything. It's legal, though. But it's legal in, yeah, it is legal in Vegas. You'll smell it sure now it's not just being walked around puff puff sure pass around or anything it's legal though but it's legal and yeah it is legal based you'll smell it everywhere but i didn't see anybody in the casino i don't think they'd allow it like sit at a table and sit at the table but i'm but people are walking around doing it because you'll smell it it would turn into a bit of a mess i would think if people are sitting at tables you get a lot of like yeah yeah well you got the bong being passed around. Forgetting what you're doing. That would be great for the casinos. It'd be great.

Their blackjack games. Hitting on 20 and stuff. I don't care. Yeah. 19. Oh, hit. What? Oh, no.

Oh, okay. Wow. He was hitting all right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. Very good. Great. We had a good week on the radcast uh jonathan sento former master chef contestant was on and next week yes it is finally here i know you don't believe it joe and i apologize to all our listeners my scheduling has been a little off we've had so much so many popular we've recorded so many episodes. So popular. I'm going to get better with my scheduling. But Bruce Buffer joins the Radcast on Tuesday.

We'll see. Finally. We'll see. And now, it's time for the Radcast with Ryan Alford. Sure. I just have to lay out. The crowd has to really calm down a little bit. I'm still on the fence. I'm still on the fence. Tuesday.

We'll see. Yes. I'm excited. December 7th. Bruce Buffer. For it to maybe happen. Yeah, it's time. And I apologize for getting my dates off, but it is happening on Tuesday.

I've been raking you over the coals on that for multiple weeks. I know. But I did look at my team sent me all the highlight clips and the episode information. It is happening on Tuesday. I've been raking you over the coals on that for multiple weeks. I know. But I did look at my team sent me all the highlight clips and the episode information. It is happening Tuesday. It's been in the can for a while. And I'm just going to go ahead and release some exciting news. Maybe you've heard of a gentleman called Grant Cardone. Well, Grant Cardone joins.

We will be recording on Monday with a to-be-released date. Oh, boy. Probably going to be like our first episode in january we want to kick off the new year with a bang that's a good one yeah that's scary there a little a little yeah i was a little on edge already but in that yeah i was a little scared but i think yeah i think you did uh right out of his seat yeah but yes grant cardone joins for our recording on Monday. So excited about that.

Yeah. Grant's a big deal. One of the biggest names in real estate investing right now. And I can't wait to pick his brain. And maybe he's going to teach us all how to get rich. That'd be great, actually. I may stop by for that one. Yeah.

And just hang out. Just got a couple notes. I know. Hallelujah. Yeah. So we'll see. But Bruce Buffer on Tuesday and recording Grant next week. And we've got a really who's who list for all of December. And I'm excited about that.

And you know what else I'm exciting about? What's that? That's that Britney Spears turned 40 yesterday. No. 40 years old, Britney Spears. Oops, I did it again. You did. I thought she was a lot younger than me for some reason.

Not that much. Hmm. She truly was. She's kind of an icon while we grew up, you know? Aged well. She's aged well. Yeah, not bad. No.

I mean, she's finally free. Sure. She's not under her conservatorship. I'm not sure how her brain is functioning 100%. I mean, she's got some... She's a little off sometimes. But she's been under the control of her father.

We live in a free country. She's made all this money and she hasn't been able to live her life. That's kind of bullshit. Under the public microscope. Britney Spears doesn't go to the store. No. She probably does with a hoodie on and sunglasses. But it's difficult. Very difficult.

Yeah. And she's had people running her life for the last 15 years or whatever it is. That's kind of suck, dude. Yeah. So she's free and she's 40. She's free, 40, and flirty. I don't know if she's flirty. Three F's that I all enjoy.

You do. You sure do. So happy birthday, Britney Spears, yesterday. Three Fs that I all enjoy. You do. You sure do. So happy birthday, Britney Spears, yesterday. Yeah. Call us if you're listening. Yeah. And we do have a special edition of the podcast. Back up one second.

We've got the 2022 Marketing Trends podcast, a special edition releasing next Thursday. We have three episodes next week, Joe. Three. Three in one week. I don't know if our audience could take it. The excitement would be probably so much that you might be responsible for some deaths.

You know what I mean? You may want to be careful. Yes, I know. Get ready, folks. Three episodes in one week. The Trends episode is a little more serious than our marketing news. Not that this isn't serious. Oh, it's more serious than this? Well, that's very serious than this? Yeah.

Well, that's very serious. It's a little more specific. But hey, you can get your marketing order for 2022. Ray Harvey, who's our director of digital media and just a badass all around, he and I sat down because we already recorded this episode, and we dropped some knowledge. Okay. And so I highly encourage you to listen to that next Thursday. Excellent.

We do have some social holidays we like to get to. So tomorrow being December 4th, it's actually two and one. Okay. I don't know. These days didn't – I guess there's only so many days to go around. 365. You'd think there'd be – you'd try to find a day that there wasn't something. There's got to be. But tomorrow's two days in one and it's national sock day okay yep i like i'll wear socks

i'm almost positive yep positive i hope you do because your feet stink i know well and not wearing them now but and um and it's national cookie day. Okay. And so I think I'll have a cookie and wear socks. I might put a cookie in a sock and hit someone with it. You know what I mean? Sock them right up. Yeah. Sock it to them. Yeah, you like that.

You're a tough cookie. Tough cookie. Oh. Okay. Give me a double ding on that. That was good. Yeah, sock day and cookie day all in one. So you get to choose your favorite holiday.

Sure. What if you took a sock and filled it up with milk and then dipped your cookie in it? Ugh. And then ate it? Ugh. Yeah. Like with a spoon and a cookie right out of it? Ugh.

Oh, my God. Ugh. Even if it's a clean sock. No good. Not great. Not good at all. Sunday is World Soil Day. Okay.

I mean, it's almost humorous how many ridiculous days there are. So not like you're going to soil your drawers. It's like soil. I wish it was that day. Natural Soil Your Drawers Day? Yeah. Sure. That would probably be the 1st of January. Yep.

Because the 31st would be out. Yeah. It's World Soil Day. Brought to you by Depends. Right. Diapers for everyone. Yeah, Depends and Pepto-Bismol. Hallelujah.

That's very good. Yes. Yes. Anyone could sponsor these days. Sure. And then Monday is Microwave Oven Day. Sure. And then Monday is microwave oven day. Well, all right. Don't even know where to go with that one.

I use a microwave on occasion. Yeah. I don't know if it's like, was the microwave oven invented that day? I don't really. Our team pulls these together. I don't really go research every. Sure. Maybe I should. Well, I don't know if I'd bother. It don't really go research every... Maybe I should.

I don't know if I'd bother. It's not really worth it. But Microwave Oven Day. How do you celebrate that? I'm going to heat up a... Chicken pot pie or something. Chicken pot pie is not bad though. Not bad.

Beef pot pie. Underrated. Turkey. What day is pot pie day? I don't know let's work on that i think it should be the same day as microwave oven day yeah because anybody yeah give me a break yeah so those are uh social holidays for the week all very important all timely and hopefully you've got your planned calendars. Much further ahead than... In January, I promise we're going to get ahead of them.

I keep saying that, but... Yeah, well... You know, we'll see how it goes. We'll start right after the Bruce Buffer episode. Okay. You're like, all right. All right. Moving on.

First, okay, I will say this. I like certain things in marketing and certain things that bother me, and I'm very opinionated, obviously. And I will say this. So Spotify does this thing where they send everyone, like you're listening history from the past year, and they also send us being a podcast like all the data from ours and it's called spotify wrapped yep and it's like you know you're a year of listening

back and i think it's brilliant because they create all of these things they make it very shareable with the buttons that send you an email or notifications of your phone and then everything has social content that you could automatically post. And let me just tell you, my feed on both my stories, this is Instagram, on my stories and posts and everything else, every other post has been Spotify rap for like the last 24 hours.

And that's what I call a takeover. You know, like truly, they've hit a nerve because everyone wants to share what they've listened to. Like the top five artists they've listened to. The number one song that they listen to the most. Some people it might be a little embarrassing.

Justin Bieber being number one on my list. I was surprised but not really. Throw a little top 40 in there. Let's get it on Marvin Gaye. That's just because I have certain playlists my wife and I listen to. Hey, you know.

Hey. You know what I'm saying? I do. Keep it hot. But in all seriousness, it took over my feed. I'm like, this is brilliant marketing. Like, they make it so easily shareable. Yeah.

And people like to, you know, share what their listening habits have been. I've seen a lot of that also. Yeah. I honestly didn't think much about it until we just started talking about it. I've seen a lot of that also. Yeah. I didn't, I honestly didn't think much about it until we just started talking about it. I've seen artists and just people listening to stuff. Every artist I follow

has the post up with how many minutes and how many streams they've had and all that stuff. Yeah. It's like millions. And I was like, and even some of them,

like I follow, but maybe they aren't like my favorite artists. And I'm like, holy shit, they had 50 million. Like I would have never thought they were't my favorite artist. I'm like, holy shit, they had 50 million. I would have never thought they were that popular. That's a lot.

It's crazy. Spotify, you're doing it right. You took over my feed, which is the whole point. I will say, while we're here, I did get our podcast numbers. We were on the charts for the business podcast for like 50 weeks, something like that. 50 days or 50 weeks. I can't remember, but our highest ranking was number 22 in the country. That's pretty good. On Spotify business. That's pretty good. Now, so that's the other one though. That's for Spotify. The Radcast is number 22 on the business. So that encompasses this and

also your interviews with actual celebrities? Yes. All that. So that encompasses this and also your interviews with actual celebrities? Yes, all that. All under one umbrella. You know what? You're welcome. It seemed to have really spiked when you came on full time, Joe. People like a train wreck. People slow down for accidents on the island.

If it bleeds, it leads. That's exactly right. You bleed a lot. Bleeding out. Th That's exactly right. And I'm here to help you bleed. Bleeding out. Thorn in the side. Bleeding out. Bleeding out with Ryan Alford. Yeah, bleeding out.

That'd be a good podcast name. It's not bad. Yeah. Second option if this doesn't work out. Okay. But yeah, so Spotify, you nailed your marketing with Wrapped. And I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing everyone's songs that they listen to. But, hey, it's a good marketing ploy.

I like when I've looked at a couple of them and not recognized any of the artists or songs. I've just been like, I don't know what any of that is. Yeah, I'm like, that's how disconnected I feel. Probably like the true, like the rap guys I know. But if it's like pop, like the layer below rap or hip-hop or something, I don't know who they are. Or like college radio. Yeah.

I've never heard of that. Yeah. I don't know who that is. I don't know. My number one category was Teen Bop, and I'm like, who knew? Was it? No. Congrats.

Teen Bop. Yeah. But hey, all you Spotify listeners, keep listening to the Radcast. Number 22 is our highest week. So let's get it. Hey, we can beat that next year. We've got 21 spaces to go. I would assume we'd be number one at some point.

I think there's no doubt. So look, we talk about Burger King a lot. They hit the radar. They're doing a lot of good marketing. We do. That's like the shit they do. But 64 years celebrating the Whoppers. The Whoppers have been around for 64 years.

Wow. You know? 19, what, 57? Yep. Dang. I just took my birth year. Good math. Same way you probably did it.

Yeah, that's good math. But yeah, 64 years of the Whopper. And it's going to be on sale, folks, today and tomorrow for $0.37 at participating Burger Kings. Really? There's probably like five participating. Or it's the thing where you go and they're like, we don't know what the hell you're talking about. Yeah. Madison, Alabama, you know, Pensacola, Florida.

Halifax, Nova Scotia. Yeah. River sales are so high, it doesn't matter. Right. But yeah, no, $0.37 for a Whopper. And look, we talked about this pre-episode. I'm not a fast food lover. Right.

But if you've got the choices of kind of the mainstream fast food place, a Whopper's pretty tasty. It is flame broiled. Flame broiled. Yeah. It does taste like flame broiled. I will say they're not smashed like some places. Like McDonald's. Oh, you said it. Okay. We'll get to that. It's okay. Also, Mike's Hard Lemonade. It tastes like a flame broil. I will say they're not smashed like some places.

McDonald's. Oh, you said it. Okay. We'll get to that. It's okay. Also, Mike's Hard Lemonade. Yeah. I like to wash down a Big Mac with a Mike's Hard Lemonade. Oh, can you imagine?

Yikes. Would you be able to? No, I wouldn't. I think, yeah, I wouldn't be able to eat it or drink it. How about this? How about if you did it like Joey Chestnut and took the Big Mac and dipped it into a big thing of Mike's Heart lemonade? Yikes.

How many could you eat? Like that? Zero. Yeah. One bite. And I'd just be like, okay, well. One bite. Depends on what was on the line, I guess.

A million dollars? Yeah. Good for a million. Yeah. Good for a million. Maybe I'd do it probably for 10 grand sure one you mean one one oh yeah for 10 grand do i don't know that i would do it for a thousand though oh that'd be a tough one because that's really gross real nasty i don't know you have

to drink the rest of mike's hard lemonadeade after with the burger meat in it? Yes, absolutely. Oh, boy. That's why a thousand away. I wonder if you could like eat some Hot Pockets beforehand and burn your mouth so you can't taste it. Have some hot pepperoni pizza that just came out of the oven. Just burn. Burn to top and everything. Or you can just put some like lidocaine in your mouth. Sure. No feeling or taste.

Candle wax like Homer Simpson. Coat your mouth in sure no feeling or taste candle wax like uh homer simpson like coat your mouth and candle wax slide it right down yikes yeah it's not great in other nudes so uh mr peanut's been uh you know making his rounds and there's a new campaign out for the holidays called nutstalgia i can't even say i was laughing before you could say nutstalgia i can't even say i was laughing before you nutstalgia by mr peanut so there's a music video that's 80s inspired sure from uh it's quite interesting i watched the video i was like i was like taking for words there for a second thing i'm like how would i describe this video he just felt like a music video from the 80s sure and uh i think the guy from family matters who's uh like one of the lead guys in it family matters which one's that it's an african-american gentleman who was also in uh

what's the bruce willis yeah yeah yeah it's not his name is you know what i'm talking about i know exactly is it reginald bell johnille Johnson? Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Got it. He's in the music video, and it's quite funny. That's a weird choice. Yeah, but it's Nostalgia. So you're telling me Nostalgia's coming everywhere?

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Busted Nostalgia. Nostalgia, coming soon. All over everybody. Nostalgia. Why would they do that? I don't know.

It's hilarious. They do. They've got a music video and they've got these gift boxes that they're giving out. Okay. Kind of retro feeling. I thought it was pretty good. Yeah, it actually is. You're not going to forget it.

No. And we talked about it on here, so it obviously was pretty good. So go check out Nutstalgia. I'm feeling a little nutstalgic myself right now. Oh, boy. Oh, man. check out nutstalgia i'm feeling a little nutstalgic myself right now oh man i'm hoping my wife feels nutstalgia this weekend oh one can hope one can hope only one can hope uh any big holiday plans uh well you know i told you i'm going to las vegas yep um that Yep That's big enough Outside of that, usually we just stay home Christmas is such like a You know what I mean?

What about you? We're around here Like all the families around here, I'm blessed I'm so glad we don't have to get on a plane and go anywhere And then we give the kids the trip So we'll go Is it January? We usually go January or February.

I think we were doing like mid-February. Okay. But we're locking in that gold trip that's $10,000 suddenly. Sure. I'm like, dang it. Right in the wallet. Right in the wallet. My son likes stand-up comedy and stuff like that.

And I usually try to get him some tickets for something like that. But, man, it's impossible right now. Not that you can't find the tickets, just that nobody's doing it. You give him a ticket to the live showing of the Radcast. I'm sure he would. You know, Tom Segura is coming to Greenville. You know who that is? Yeah.

But I don't think that's probably just right over appropriate. Not appropriate for him. Probably not. I wouldn't mind. I wonder if I could get him on the Radcast while he was here, live. I would for sure be here for that. I would drop everything I'm doing and come for that. That would be cool.

Maybe we'll have to reach out to him. I don't know how long he's in town, but he's coming like he had the same day. One or two nights. I'm not sure which one. Hey, we'll reach out to him. He's amazing. That guy's funny. He's very funny.

Yeah. I like his stuff. So, you know Corona, right? The beer? Not the disease. Not the, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Not the town in Mexico. Got it. Yeah. The beer. The beer. And, you know, all the commercials are on, you know, some getaway island. Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny's on a lot of those.

Yes, they are. But they're doing a branded island experience where you can actually go to an island. It's the Corona Island. It's in the Caribbean. They own where you can get away and truly get away. Sure. It's kind of like the campaign. And what?

Drink a lot of Corona. Okay, well. What else would you do on a deserted island in the Caribbean? I mean, I could think of a couple things. Why don't you take your significant other and have some nostalgia? Nostalgic, yeah. So is it like you pay to do it? Exclusive.

They're going to have contests. They have different things so that you can get away to their truly branded island experience. Will Snoopop dog be there one could hope yeah will uh will tony romo be there that's a great question who's the other uh is it kenny smith maybe i always remember i remember snoop dog and tony romo's been doing bad bodies on it yeah he doesn't speak he probably speaks english but he doesn't he raps in Spanish. I'm trying to think who else is on there.

I don't know. They didn't mention the celebrities that would be there, but they're going to have contests if we give away an island that's named Corona Island. Which, maybe not the best right now, but they've been dealing with it for a couple years, so they don't care anymore. They all seem to be doing okay. They're fine. I mean, because everybody's been washing away their corona sorrows with coronas. You like corona?

Eh, I'll have it with a lime. You know, in the summer, hot. I don't love it. I can drink two or three with a lime. It's got a unique taste. Yes. If you don't have a lime, no thank you. Yeah, forget about it.

Have you tried their seltzers? I've tried a lot of seltzers. not in my day yeah in my day i've had lots of seltzers the seltzer thing look in the summertime when i'm trying to go a little lower carbs sure not pounds you know 12 beers uh i'll drink them but i don't really love them. It's not great, is it? No. It's more like an appetizer drink before you start really drinking. Yeah. You know what I mean?

It's the warm-up before you get really saucy. My daughter likes the black cherry White Claws, and those taste like medicine. No. And not good medicine. I think we did talk about that. Anything that's alcoholic that has cherry in the name is no bueno. I think they're lime, maybe, is okay. bueno. I think there's lime maybe is okay. Yeah.

You think they have a lime? Yeah. Well, it's kind of like a lime beer is okay, too. Bud Light Lime, I can drink a few of those. I like the flavor of lime. Have you ever drank Limeade? Yes. I like a good Limeade.

I like a good Limeade. Radcast sponsored by Lime. Yeah, sponsored by Corona. And speaking of beers. Sure. Heineken is gifting IOUs to those affected by shipping delays. Those are IOUs. Those are as good as money.

As good as money. Hold on to that. This one's for Ferrari. I'm going to hold on to that one. When I read this, I was hoping it was a tie-in to Dumb and Dumber. And, you know, someone wasn't smart enough on their campaign team. So IOUs for what, though? So you can give beers.

Maybe you were going to... Okay, I'll say that really wonderful sweater I've gotten you that isn't here yet because it's back-ordered from China. I can't help but forget. You don't really know about it yet, but it's not coming, so I'm going to give you a beer with an IOU on it that says you're going to get the gift. But you're right on there.

Maybe the IOU because you're affected by the shipping delays. That's not as cool as I thought it was. Yeah. And you can give away these little – they've got like a six-pack that you can give someone that has the IOUs on it too. There's a couple different ways you can do it. You could do some funny stuff with that if you really wanted to. Yes, you could. Like IOU like an ass-kicking or something like that. Yeah could do some funny stuff with that if you really wanted to. Yes, you could. Like I owe you an ass kicking or something like that.

You could get nostalgic with it if you wanted to. Nostalgic. Yes. I owe you a fist to the face. Yeah. This is super mature. This is like Festivus for the rest of us. Airing of grievances.

Airing of grievances. Feats of strength. Yeah. Where's our Festivus for the rest of us. Earring of grievances. Earring of grievances. Feats of strength. Yeah. Where's our Festivus poll? Nick, can you get on the Festivus? Well, no, don't get on the Festivus poll. Yeah, don't get on any polls in here. Yeah, you know what I mean.

Just locate it. Locate the Festivus poll. We'll find it. We'll have that next week. Sitting in front of us. Sitting in front of us. The Festivus Radcast poll. In other news, Cardi B is revolutionizing the cocktail industry.

I doubt it. Yeah, I think this is pretty cool, though. Whip Shots, a line of flavored dairy-free whipped cream loaded with vodka. Okay, that is kind of cool, actually. She describes it as Cardi in a can. Well, that is kind of cool, actually. She describes it as Cardi in a can. Well, I don't know. You had me at

cream loaded vodka, but Cardi in a can. And I like Cardi B. Do you? Quite a bit. I've kind of had it with her. She drives me a little crazy in interviews, but I like her music. I will say I'll agree with that, but I've kind of had it with her. She drives me a little crazy in interviews. Yeah. But I like her music. I will say I'll agree with that.

But I've had it with her personally. It's the shtick. The tongue rolling. I don't even know if it's the shtick. She could be like that. Yeah, she might be. But I think she knows what she's doing. She's smart enough.

I think she gives a lot of money to charity, too. So I probably should be a little bit nicer. I actually like her because she speaks her mind, and she's not afraid to kind of say whatever the hell she wants. Sure. And so I kind of respect people like that that aren't too politically correct. Sure, which she's not. But the whole thing sometimes gets a little overwhelming.

Sticky, like you said. Sticky. But I respect her, and I do like her music, and I definitely like dairy-free whipped cream loaded with vodka. So we just put that on like a hot cocoa maybe or like an Irish coffee probably. Yes, Irish coffee. So you're going to get twice as... That sounds good.

It's like the drink. Have you heard that people, instead of like soda, they use a White Claw with vodka? Yeah. Vodka White Claw? Yeah. I'm going to start doing that. Yeah. Put some whipped cream on it.

My wife likes those, like the, what's the chocolate liqueurs? You know? Yeah. Let me get that. Godiva. I think Godiva makes them.

I'm going to start mixing her Godiva chocolate with the free whipped cream. Dairy free whipped cream loaded with vodka. In the morning before school. Yeah.

Here's your coffee, honey. Nostalgia. Yeah. She would have plenty of time. whipped cream loaded with vodka that in the in the morning before school yeah lots of nostalgia yeah she would have plenty of time for it after she was fired this yeah yeah no she's not gonna have that at school no cannot drink it saturday morning you know sure we'll see her saturday night sunday morning any night of the week any night yeah i'm'm digging it. I'm picking up what Cardi B is throwing down. Yep. So back to the Spotify. So you know who the top artists and podcasts were from their list? Podcast?

The artist. So music artist is kind of like the top artist and then the top podcast from their kind of wrapped. Was it Bad Bunny? Yes, it was. Bad Bunny, Drake, and Drake. Bad Bunny did a thing where, I don't know if it was this year or last year, where he split off and did some stuff with WWE.

Yeah. And it was a huge hit. And he was like really, he wrestled like one time. He was like really, really good. I think people gained a lot of respect for him. Yeah. Plus he's international. Exactly.

He's not Mr. Worldwide because it's Pitbull. That is Pitbull. He's still popular actually. He's still Mr. Worldwide. You don't lose that. Once you're Mr. Worldwide, you're kind of always Mr. Worldwide. But yeah, Bad Bunny, Drake, and the number one podcast the Joe Rogan experience.

Not surprising, I figured. Somebody just overtook him for a week or so. I can't remember who it was. I figured. Yeah. Somebody just overtook him for a week or so. I can't remember who it was. I don't know. It's not a great story if I don't know that. No.

It's a little hollow. Should have held on to that one probably for next time. Yeah. I'll have it next time, guys. Yeah. Sure you will. So loud.

Yes. But no, none of that was surprising. Bad bunny and drake were definitely not then joe rogan wasn't either but uh i like joe you like joe he's okay yeah i think it's funny i like the mashups people do of them sometimes all right they're like asking him about something like they're interviewing about something that he what he was not talking about and you have him being like, yeah, okay. And like, how do they do that?

And it's like something really simple. The only thing that kind of drives me crazy is I feel like anything that could be a conspiracy theory, he's talking. It's like cliche. I know when I see something that's like quasi a conspiracy theory, I'm like, Joe Rogan's going to have an episode about that next week. If he hasn't already. Yeah, he already't already. Yeah.

He already started it. Yeah. And so I guess that that's your thing. Then that's your thing. He's the number one podcast. So I don't have anything but respect for him, but it's hard. It's hard to be mad at him.

I mean, he's very popular. Oh, I'm, I respect the hell out of it, but it's a little, some of it's a little annoying, but I agree with that.

But, uh, same time. He makes you think sure you guys good guests so he does he does yeah we got elon musk smoking weed on his podcast yeah who else has done that no one not you yeah yeah not yet no yeah i'm gonna have elon smoking weed next next year sure in this in this room in this room wow this will box it out here in the studio it would i will i'll show up for that one too i hope you do it'll be fun any final words In this room, too.
