Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. I don't even know what that means. I don't even know what that means. That'll be a quote of the year. It is International Men's Day. And I remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's going to love that. She's going to love that.

Yeah. The number one legal drug is caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. That or alcohol. It probably used to be. Like one or two. Oh, God. That or alcohol. That's a tough one. I think it's caffeine. Yeah, I would have to. That or alcohol. It probably used to be. Like one or two. Oh, God. That or alcohol.

That's a tough one. But I think it's coffee. And the latest sign of crypto's takeover. Well, it's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right? Because it's called the Staple Center. When's the last time you used a staple? You're listening to the Radcast. 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, November 19th, and I'm Ryan Aler, joined by Joe Hammer. What's up, Joe?

Hey, man. How's it going? Hey, I'm remote today. I'm in a remote village in a secret location at my house. Well, you gave it away now. Okay. I know. I've been feeling a little under the weather, but you know what?

The work doesn't stop. You know, Joe? It doesn? The work doesn't stop. You know, Joe? It doesn't. It doesn't stop. I never stop working. I'm working right now. So, yeah. So, I've had a little bit of an up and down week with the health, but other than that,

it's been a good week. How's the week been, Joe? Good. Good. Other than your health, I'm fine. I feel great, actually. I feel better. When you don't feel well, I feel like my health goes through the roof.

It's weird. I'm glad I can contribute. It is a weird inverse. It's weird. I could have poisoned you. Maybe, maybe not. Just tell me what the antidote is so I can get over this uh it's actually it's actually 15 shots of fireball so oh good but unfortunately the fire keg is there and i'm here is it really here

are you serious i don't think so oh man you do that to me every time it's on backwater i've like literally i have it on backorder on like six sites you're gonna end up with six fireball kegs hey there's been worse things that happen my friends that's true so it's been a good week on the podcast if you missed tuesday alina smith singer songwriter producer came out and next week my good friend friend, Brad Lee, the host of dropping bombs, the CEO of light speed. Brad is a very cool dude and very insightful. So I recommend anyone that's in sales like yourself,

Joe, to take a listen to Bradley next Tuesday on the radcast. I will do it. I'll see you next Tuesday for that. You don't have to see me. Just download it. Okay, well, I'll just download it. That's fine. Either way. We need our numbers to go up. Can you download it 12 times so our ratings

go up? Sure. Sure. I'll put it on my space. What's that? Do it on Spotify. Do it on Google. Do it on Apple. And then like every episode. Sure. I'm going to have to figure out how to use all that on Apple, and then like every episode. Sure. I'm going to have to figure out how to use all that stuff first,

and then I'll download it. Nick, can you help out? Yes. Okay, Nick's got me. Nick will help out, yes. And for those listening, if you enjoyed the podcast, like, review, share. We would appreciate it. We've got babies to feed around here, Joe, don't we?

We desperately, desperately need it. Christmas is coming up. My kids need new shoes and stuff as well. We'd really appreciate it. Maybe we can get an official sponsor. Instead of having to sponsor ourselves. Mike's Hard Lemonade, I think, was a good one. We really did them a favor, I think.

There's been a couple. Yeah. I don't think we're going to get an invite from Mike. No, I don't. I think the looks on our face after the third sip when we tried to make it work. Yeah. I was like, the first sip, I was like, wow. That was pretty bad, but I was just trying to hide it.

And then by sip three, I was like, I can't do this anymore. It's not what I was expecting. It's not very good. Yes. Mike's Hard Lemonade. Not very good at all. It's not very good at all. Call us. Not the one for me.

Not at all. Not at all. No. So Thanksgiving coming up. Any big Thanksgiving plans with the family? I think we're going to go to my wife's parents' house or my wife's father's house. So that's going to be pretty exciting. And then after that, I'm probably just going to drive into the desert and expire, I guess.

I don't know. Where does he live? They live in Anderson. So that's always fun, too. Oh. Yeah. We're going to drive by the jockey lot. It's funny.

If you're from South Carolina and you're in the upstate, when they do the news reporting, all the crimes and all the fires are all happening in Anderson County. Pretty much. I don't know why that is. It used to be Spartanburg. my wife and i uh yeah i did sparkle city and then they come up and yeah yeah but uh no i thought you meant like literally you were going uh flying somewhere having to get out of no it's still it's still too far it's still too

far though you know what i mean if i can't walk there i'm not interested yeah you're pretty lazy i've extremely lazy a lot of people say my wife says that it's fine all your friends yeah i've accepted it it doesn't really it's a compliment now you play the part yeah i can't imagine having to get on a plane for Thanksgiving, having to deal with the bullshit at the airport and everything else. Yeah. We flew to Tampa, and it was in July, and that was a disaster. So I can't imagine around the holidays.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm going to Las Vegas in December, the 16th through 20th, so that's going to be really bad now that I think of it. Well, at least you're going to Vegas. That's true. It's going to be a lot worse places. I can think of nothing worse than going to...

I'm going to really offend the city when I say this, but we're going to St. Louis to visit mom and dad. We've got to go wait. We're going to Louis mom and dad. Like, brr. You got to go wait in the, you know, like, we're going to Louisville, Kentucky. Tampa's pretty bad, to be perfectly honest. Tampa at least got a beach

and it's warm. I guess, man. It's just, oh. Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. I don't even know what that means. I don't even know what that means. That'll be a quote of the quote of the year. Tampa is the St. Louis of Florida. That's their new ad campaign. We're the St. Louis of Florida.

Moving to an important part of our weekly marketing and news segment would be our social holidays. We have three this week. We, it is important. This is where you get your dated information that you should have already planned for if you're a marketing social media manager. Because by the time you listen to it, you know. If you're getting it here,

you're probably past. Yeah, you banged it up. Maybe we should start doing like a week ahead of time. So it actually is like our two weeks ahead of time. Relevant is the word I take. It's useful. Yeah. Yeah.

So there's relevance and people that actually plan. We might actually get some social media planners like listening to the podcast. Well, some probably, some probably already do to be fair, but yeah, we probably get more.

Yeah, we probably would. But, um, today being the 19th, I if i had my keyboard with me and my sound effects this would this would be getting like lots of applause and everything else ding the ding today it is uh international men's day it's our day finally i mean we've been waiting for a day to be in charge and to celebrate through history really yes it's finally here adam and eve i believe it's finally here

what are you gonna do what are you how are you gonna celebrate i i'm gonna i don't know pat myself on the back sure and uh and uh remind my wife that it's International Men's Day. She's going to love that. She's going to love that. Yeah. What did she get you for your gift? I get that every day. Better be something good. Yeah, better be for sure.

Yeah, who knows? What do you think you're getting? I don't know. My wife doesn't listen to this. You got last year? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. A big handful of nothing. Yeah. Big fat. I'm going to pat myself on the back as well.

Yes. I deserve it. Yes. Today's International Men's Day. It's everything that we thought it could be and so much more. I feel great. Tomorrow is Universal Children's Day. Okay. As men, we get to celebrate for all of a day. And then we had the children get bright.

I mean, how much of a slap in the face is it to men? Like the kids are always at the forefront anyway, as soon as they come along. And then as men, we get one day to celebrate ourselves, and the next day is International Children's Day. Is that not a slap of all faces? We've been held down for too long, men, I think. Plus, the children's is universal, the whole universe,

and ours is only international, so that's a little bit of a raw deal. Exactly. Raw deal. Exactly. Raw deal. Unbelievable. But, you know, it's all made up. It all is okay, though, because Sunday is World Hello Day. Hello. Hello. Hello.

I think we should make it Say Hello Funny Day. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. hello yeah i like that hello and so so we're just supposed to go around say hello to people i guess i guess world hello day assuming you don't say hello say hello my little friend okay okay there it is ding yep that's you're just to have to make all the sounds with your mouth. Ding. I should have my sound effects in the speaker here. I asked Nick if I could use the sound effects, and he was like, no. Nobody can touch that except Brian.

Damn it. That's true. That's true. There's a secret code on that to even get to it. Okay. Yeah, to even open up the sound effects box. It's that complicated. No, it's not.

It's that complicated for me just to figure out how to get it to work. Right. Fair enough. Like, Nick, damn it. This key doesn't work. This key's doing a flush, and I want it to do applause. This is a disaster. Yes.

It's a world hello day. It's a disaster. So World Hello Day is Sunday. Can't wait. Say hello to all your neighbors and friends and everyone else. I'd prefer not. That'd be kind of funny. I'd like to follow you. I'm going to get the guys to follow you around. You just say hello to everyone,

the most random people. How many times can I get punched in the face? That's what that is. I had South Carolina. I think you'd be all right. They'd be all right. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. Pretty cordial people here. Yeah. It might actually be boring. Cause people would just be like, Hey, great. Maybe so.

They'd be so friendly. Yeah. Conversations. I'd get into conversations with people. Just like, Oh, Oh, who wants to do that?

The worst. You don't have to talk to anybody. Yeah. It's world. Hello. Day. Not world. I listened to your bullshit day worst you don't have to talk to anybody yeah it's world hello day not world i listen to your bullshit day i don't want to i'm not interested that's uh next week that's next week yeah yeah share your bs day yeah it's next thursday it's called thanksgiving that's what all your uh all your family does it's like uh yeah uncle johnny i hadn't seen you in two years and yeah i saw you tell me about the uh you know i don't know i saw your facebook you don't need to tell me about it here i understand your political views from facebook you don't have to don't bring it to dinner that's yeah that's all it is it's like uh we

get a re-ashing of what we heard on facebook last year 100 oh i can't wait it's gonna be so good that's where uh seinfeld was on to something with the uh sharing of grievances like i mean yeah it's really what thanksgiving is isn't it a little bit yeah and with each other occasionally there's there's a thanksgiving or two i've been to that's been a little bit of a blow-up. I'm sure everyone's been in one of those. Yeah. Well, it's just, even if it's not a blow-up, it's like, I don't know. It's like everybody gets to intermingle with people they see once a year.

I don't know. People are going to think I'm anti-family. I'm not. I just think, you know, you're tight. I'd rather, like, my tight-knit family than I see. I'd rather do a family get-together, like on a Friday where they're serving lots of alcohol. But Thanksgiving lunch, I like to spend with my close, tight family. Sure.

It's not about Thanksgiving dinner, I guess, really, right? Yeah, sure. Even if it's during the day or whatever? Probably just during the day. It can be lunch or dinner. Okay. Supper? Yeah, supper. Supper. Supper, dude.

Supper. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving's next week. And now everybody thinks I'm an anti-family. I'm not. I just think we, I don't know, overthink our holidays sometimes. I think, you know, like, I just don't really want to know what Aunt Sally's, like, you know, problems are. Right.

Don't care. I think that's what you mean. It's not that I don't care. It's like I just don't have a solution for you. I don't care i think that's what you mean it's not that i don't care it's like i just don't have a solution for you i don't care and my turkey's like tasting bad because we're talking about it you know that you've got the the debbie downer aunt you know what i mean the saturday night live where she's like that's what i mean it's like I go into these things in a great mood and I come out of them like oh okay man

that's what that's what wine's for I believe I think you're right but we still have some dry family events that yeah mine's gonna be a dry 21st century mine's gonna be a dry family event

unfortunately yeah i'm gonna maybe uh take a cooler a small cooler of white claws in the uh yeah in the car yeah i uh four cases full there you go oh i gotta take this work phone caller i need to i'll be right back in in about 20 minutes. Yeah. That and smoking a joint in the bathroom. Whatever it takes to get through it. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes. So we got some good news topics this week. Okay. First, are you a Starbucks guy? A what? A Starbucks. Are you a Starbucks person? A what? A Starbucks. Are you a Starbucks person? I don't drink coffee that much.

I'm not. Me either. But let me tell you, because I go Fridays. Sometimes I try to get into an article, and then it makes me think of a story. You know how I am, Jeff. I love it. My son and I, Clayton, he's my oldest, he's 12, sixth grade. And we go, we have to take his, his brother, my middle child, Hudson has to go to, he does school patrol on

Fridays and he has to get there super early. Nice. But Clayton doesn't have to get there until like 8 AM. And so we go to Starbucks and sit there for about 45 minutes and have father-son time, talking about middle school and stuff. I coach his basketball team. It's just our time together. It's a father-son banter. And we sit there for about 45 minutes on a Friday morning from like 7.15 to 8 a.m.

And the one in Greenville, South Carolina on Augusta Road, I'm sitting there counting the people coming in and out of that place. And they have the app thing figured out. People already ordered. They come in. They walk up to the counter. I'm like, the amount of people buying $8 coffees at the rate at which they're doing in one Starbucks. I'm like, why did I not think of this? Yeah. I mean, it's like unbelievable.

They're printing money in $8. Yeah. And so yesterday was red cup day. So they give away these red cups sure every year yeah and all the holiday cups and it supposedly really ups the uh sales for that day like i'm like they really need it yeah like they desperately needed it people are so it's like it's like the most it's like and look i drink energy drinks so i'm i'm definitely the the pot calling the kettle black a little bit here with caffeine, but I will say it's gotta be like the most, uh, the number one legal drug is caffeine.

Yeah. I would have to add her alcohol. It probably used to be. Well, God, that are alcohol. That's a tough one, but I think it's coffee.

It probably is probably more people or caffeine, caffeine, caffeine, you know, whatever. Oh, caffeine. Oh yeah. Yeah.ine, you know, whatever. Oh, caffeine. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because if you go across Coke or Diet Coke and then coffee and energy drinks, it's definitely caffeine.

No question. My wife doesn't do this, but I've had friends and had girlfriends that will drink seven Diet Cokes in a day. Like, you know. It's a lot. I don't know if you know that person. So my wife, actually, my you know that person my so my wife actually my wife that's my that's my impression it's pretty good so no big deal uh she's your dear your dear lovely wife yeah she is lovely uh i don't know how dear she is the uh

she drinks uh she used to drink three or four diet cokes a day i think she's down to maybe one uh but it's like that's like it's like coffee kind of it's like an addiction like if we don't She used to drink three or four Diet Cokes a day. I think she's down to maybe one. But it's like coffee. It's like an addiction. Like if we don't have one in the refrigerator, like she goes and gets one. You know what I mean? Yep.

It's kind of like me with cocaine. Do you know what I mean? If like I don't have any, I have to go get some. You really get hankering for it. Yeah, I'm like, hmm, God. I really could use a little bit of cocaine right now, and I just go get some. Right, Nick? Nick gets the best stuff.

Oh, God. Just go to him. Unbelievable. Peruvian marching powder. Great job, Nick. Nick wears a lot of hats at Radical. Today's podcast brought to you by Peruvian marching powder. It's the best cocaine for your money.

Yes. I do think they put cocaine in Coke, though. I'll get on these – I drink energy drinks, and I do drink them pretty religiously. If you go look at our refrigerator at work, I got like seven cases in there. There's no problem whatsoever. No. But I do think that caffeine is quite the addiction and i think starbucks has the monopoly on a lot of it because i sit there and watch the people coming in and out of that place

and i'll say this it's the same people we go there now like we it's become a ritual we used to do hot cake fridays at mcdonald's but mcdonald's on in our neighborhood has stayed kind of locked up for court like they do drive-through only until a certain hours really and so like yeah they've just started to reopen but they don't have they're not open fully when we go so we switched over to starbucks okay and not only does it cost seven times more we went from uh it's not as good either for me and my son it's not not like $21 to get a bagel. And, of course, my son's drinking a small coffee now, too. Oh, boy.

You know, hop. I'm like, oh, boy. Here we go. You put a lot of sugar in it? Because coffee kind of tastes. He gets a mocha. He gets like a mocha. Okay.

So it's got some sugar already in it. There we go. And that's, I mean, half the people who come in are getting those drinks, too. Oh, yeah. They do have caffeine in them. Oh yeah, absolutely. I,

so Joey and Sean both drink a ton of coffee. Sean, especially Joey. I don't know. Cold brew. Yeah. Uh, yeah.

Sean, I think just straight up drinks coffee all day long. I don't know how he does it because he's the most relaxed guy, but he's just like pounding coffee. I can't do it, man. I can't do it man i can't do it it makes me feel terrible yeah i can't either i i have like two energy drinks a day typically

one like super early because i work out early sure and then one like mid-morning and then that's it you don't have they're not like they're not the five-hour energy or like the the nitro 700 milligrams of caffeine they're they're mild as energy drinks go too but i'll admit that i i have wondered if you kind of just get off the caffeine if it would uh be better i don't know you probably have some withdrawal symptoms i would think if you right initially yeah i don't know i haven't had it i've been under the weather here for a few days that's true and i haven't had any and you know other than this uh this hemoglobin going on the back of my head and uh just twitching i'm good yeah i noticed your eye twitching at all yeah your eyes twitching a lot okay yeah so it's fine you're probably fine

i think i'm good i uh i'm moving on i don't drink hardly any caffeine i want to go back to caffeine right i want this whole podcast to be about caffeine all right all right let's go i'm just gonna say i don't really drink any caffeine um except if i'm extremely tired and then i'll have like a diet coke or something so that was worth stopping for no it was but i do i am amazed that you don't need caffeine at all like i don't have a lot of energy so it's not like it's not like i don't drink caffeine and i'm like oh man i'm just like you can see this is it. This is high energy for me. Yeah.

Well, speaking of high energy. Okay. Papa John's just unveiled a new logo. Yeah. You know, nice transition. He is high energy. And people are confused. They removed the apostrophe in the Johns. Yeah.

And now it's Papa John's. And isn't it now a porta potty? Like a bathroom? Yeah. I was looking at that. It's a little bit of a mind fuck. Because it was possessive, Papa John's, right? Or it was Papa john is pizza that

could be that it could be saying that papa john is pizza but now what is it papa john's there's no it's just multiple john's does that make sense lots of john's papa john's no it doesn't multiple john's it just sounded like we were doing a prostitution bust so i think the person that wrote this article thinking about it more than most people will i don't know how much people would really see it and i will say like i'm looking at it on the screen here like the the new logo it does pop a little more you know with the colors it looks good yeah and it's a little more congruent without the apostrophe. I mean, this damn apostrophe is just kind of getting in the way.

Grammatically, it bothers me. I don't know. It's weird. Well, you're a writer. I don't know. I was looking at it. You sent it to me, and I was like, I don't understand. What is it now?

It's nothing now. It's not possessed. It bothers me. You know what?'s not possessed. I don't. It bothers me. I bet. You know what? You should ask. There you go.

You should ask your wife because she's a school person. If it bothers her. Yeah. I will. It will definitely bother her. It probably does. I own a freaking ad agency and we write copy all the time. That's true. And she critiques my every text message.

So believe me, like she, she like literally like I'm like shorthanding something and she's like, you know, grading my paper on my text message. So I have no doubt this will bother her. Yeah. Let's get her opinion for next,

next week. Maybe. Yeah, we'll get it. I'll bring it. I'll bring it for next week. Is she, does she want to be on the podcast at the Radcast?

I don't know. I don't know. But I do want to make notes since she said that, that Joe Hammer will be joining the weekly news segment as a stay on, as long as we can keep twisting his arm. I'm excited to have you consistently on the show, Joe. As long as we can stand each other,

this is going to be, it's going to be a great partnership. Hey, man. We've stood each other since, what, 14 years old? Yeah, right around 14, 15 years old. Yeah, it should be fine. It's been 30 years.

I think we can make it. At this point, if the Radcast is what splits us up then i mean it was meant to be i guess you know what i mean yeah i guess i guess i guess but no yeah no i'm excited about it um should be fun yeah the uh moving on this shows you how big crypto is getting the sta Staples Center, which is where LeBron James played, LA Lakers and several other teams, obviously. They're going to rebrand as Crypto.com Arena

and the latest sign of crypto's takeover. Yeah. First thoughts there? Well, it's kind of like the newest thing taking over for the oldest thing, right? Because it's called the Staple Center. When's the last time you used a staple? For me, I don't even know. Years?

You know what I mean? You're basically taking Dunder Mifflin like it's paper. You know what I mean? You're selling paper, and you've switched it to the most high-tech thing you can. So it's a sign of the times for sure. Yeah, for sure.'s a sign of the times for sure yeah for sure and a sign of money i mean and like and when's the last time you went into a staples like a staples store uh oh my god i don't know man long time uh multiple years yeah you've got me buy it online right exactly you buy everything it's called amazon yeah or just honestly staples.com even i mean come on staples yeah brick and mortar what can

you what can you buy at staples.com that you can't buy on amazon staples.com merch possibly that's the easy button. Yeah. Right. Well, now you probably buy that on Amazon though. You probably buy it. Yeah.

I bought a generic one on Amazon. Actually. There you go. Radical button. Bootleg. Oh yeah. Yeah. Bootleg.

Bootleg. Bootleg. Staples buttons are huge right now. It's a huge Christmas item. So really everybody. I don't think so everybody my family's getting one everyone everyone custom great custom not custom no the same one they're all getting the same one the same one they're all gonna open it at the same time and be like what the what are you doing

but that way at least there's no divide there's no like you got him more than me or she or whatever it's a quality even it's a quality socialistic socialistic yeah christmas we're big into communism and socialism at my house everyone i end up with a lot of lingerie which is weird you know what i mean like everybody gets lingerie i'm just like what are we gonna do with this so my wife likes gotta keep her happy right nick yeah you get the yeah you get the kids my son i guess you gotta give me it's a thong i guess your mom's gotta wear it well my son and i wear pretty close to the same size now so we can just we can switch back and forth if we want it's it's pretty dope intermix your thongs yeah yeah we just trade the middle of the day yeah

thong change and we just trade the middle of the day yeah thong change and we just yeah that's the best guy it's great yeah it's great we love it you should try it you've got multiple sons though so you guys could all like you know what i mean th Thong song. Cisco. You remember that song? How could you forget it? Probably one of the best songs in the history of man. I think so. Cisco. The thong song is the rad movie of songs as far as I'm concerned.

Yes. Yes, it is. So I'm going to skip ahead to a couple articles here. Apple will sell you iPhone parts now to fix your own phone at home. Put that. Get out of here. I was like, I read this and I was like, okay. At first I was like, oh, that's cool.

You can do it yourself. But I'm like, how the hell are people going to, you're going to have have jacked up phones they're even worse than they were how are you gonna fix your own phone at home i don't know nasa nasa will say you parts to like make your own rocket that's what that's that's what that says to me yeah nasa what's the average education like fifth grade like average u.s education level probably yeah and they're gonna fix their iphone yeah okay let me ask you this if if i broke your iphone right now and gave you the parts to fix it could you fix it i could but i'm pretty handy with electronics no matter what no matter what was broken no if it was like the screen. Well, that's, yeah, you can't do anything about that.

You got to go get that fixed. But anything internal, like I have a mic, here's a microchip I broke. I got to fix that. Yeah. Yeah. Right. No. Pass.

No. Well, let me ask you this then. If I gave you the parts to make a rocket, how long would it take for you to put them together to go to the moon? Realistically. Infinity. Infinity. I mean never beyond right like never never never never never i called my dad and my dad can build anything and he he figured out about a year you think so but you think steve would figure it out in a year

that's he was an engineer he has an engineer's mind that's true yeah and he did architecture and so he's i mean he's he kind of has a brain for that like and he may still and he may still not get it right i'm not like oh my dad can do anything you know he still may not he does have he still may not get it right i don't know know. It'll be close. It's a fucking rocket ship. It'll be close, though. You have some wooden parts in there that you threw in. He's a carpenter, right? He loves carpentry, right? Yeah.

He'll just have some wooden parts thrown in that he made, like some wooden dowels in there put together. Yeah. It's fine. It looks nice on the inside. It's beautiful. It's the nicest cockpit ever. Yeah, the beautiful is inside.

Yeah, the inside is beautiful. Nice mahogany. It doesn't fly. But it burns. Yeah. It burns. inside. It's beautiful. Nice mahogany and doesn't fly. But it burns. Yeah. It burns. And it gets its orbit. It's a death trap.

Beautiful. Beautiful, though. I just don't see that going well with iPhone parts. No. Going to people. They're tiny, too, right? They just increased their customer service level call volume by 4,000%. Do you think that's what it is? They just increased their customer service level call volume by 4,000%.

Do you think that's what it is? It's like the McDonald's thing with the ice cream maker where it's like they had the parts that only they could service. Now Apple is letting people try to fix their iPhones, and they're going to fuck it up so bad that Apple is going to have to fix it again. Yeah. Is that what you're kind of saying? A little bit. yeah is that what you're kind of saying i mean like a little bit i'm thinking i'm thinking it's just seems like a good idea and people just are not going to be capable of doing it right and it's probably going to lead to them selling more yeah i think it's that yeah it's a brilliant

like backdoor backdoor thing i like hey we gave you the parts. We let you try to fix it. Yeah. It's your fault now. It'd be funny if they didn't give you instructions, too. If they just gave you the parts and were like, good luck, bro. Yeah. Oh, no, they got this figured out. They're sourcing that from Ikea,

the Ikea instruction company. Oh, so it's all in. Okay. So they'll be perfect. Every language. They'll have no hope. Yeah. Yes.

Yes. I can't wait. I'm'm gonna break my phone intentionally yeah russian that's been you know translated to uh chinese that's then changed related to english it comes out perfect every time one percent of the time every time right it's like google translate it's always exactly right no matter what. Yes. So Applebee's has come out. From apples to Applebee's. Cheetos. Apples to Applebee's. Applebee's has created Cheetos, fried chicken, and cheese bites.

Okay. Oh, yeah. Yep. Cheetos flavored fried chicken. I've got exciting news for you. Okay. exciting news for you okay i have tried wings from applebee's that were coated in uh fiery hot cheeto dust or whatever it's called the hot cheetos how are they uh surprisingly good surprisingly yeah applebee's kind of hit it out of the park on that one it was it was you know

is it the best thing i've ever eaten? Yes. Bar none. Bar none. But it was actually really good. That fargoir and that steak, yeah, that was so much better. Yeah, I'd rather have a hamburger topped with spicy hot Cheeto wings any day. Bone in. Bone in. Yeah, but they're doing all these Cheetos. My kids eat this cheetos flavored

macaroni and cheese it's pretty good i took a couple bites of that it's pretty tasty that did have did you try have they tried the hot one yeah they ate like two bites of it i took a bite of it i was like it's pretty good but i don't really want a stomachache later so yeah so i ate a box of that and uh yeah you were correct You're correct on the outcome of that. It's not. I don't really, I don't know if the outcome of that is even appropriate for the Radcast. It's not. No, no.

But it's what you think it would be. I'd flush that one right down the toilet. Oh, that would be so good. That would be so good right now. Yeah, yeah. but Applebee's playing off the hit song from the summer

No, just referee it. He's like referee. Bruce Buffer's a referee. Whatever. And the announcer. We might have to – this might be a low budget.
