You go live with your products, you can link directly there, they can shop directly. It's just like QVC, so you don't have to pick up the phone and call, you can buy it straight through the app. And live shopping has become all the rage. I'm a practical marketer, and with like this kind of stuff, and with some things as hot as what Roblox is for this age group, and you're trying to get ahead of them and find ways to market to them, because they're not watching TV, then this makes a lot of sense to me especially when you execute it well you're listening to the radcast if it's radical we cover it here's your host r Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast.

It's Friday, November 26, 2021. Happy Black Friday, Joe Hammert. Happy Black Friday to you, Ryan. I mean, you know. Yeah, I do. Lots of deals out there. The only deal I care about is getting to hang out with you. Oh, okay.

I thought you were going to say the green deal. It was on sale. Buy one, get one free. You like it? I do. It's a good start. Good start. Good start.

How are you today, my friend? I'm doing real well. How about you? Oh, you know, just living the dream here on Black Friday. Still pretty full. Yeah, yeah. Full of it. Well, you always were.

Something's never changed. Oh, was uh how's the week been how's turkey week family good yeah i i told you i think i mentioned last week that we were going to my wife's uh parents house we did that so went about as planned that's we did that yep and then uh here we are i'm uh i'm alive and it's cold outside and radcast i know exactly uh are you a black friday shopper ryan i know no no i did so one time cyber monday shopper am i a shopper what is the question and the answer is read my lips yeah i guess i could play them. Take care of it for me. One time I went to get some Beats headphones for my daughter. It was about four or five years ago, and it was fucking terrible.

I can be honest with you. I mean, who wants to deal with the crowds? This was Thanksgiving night. I think it's right around when Walmart started doing that. No. Wasn't online shopping made to like get rid of all the pains and sorrows of having to go do that i think some people like it it's almost like a a masochistic situation yeah like where i'm like i'm gonna go get the deal not find a

parking space and then wait in this line way too long to get a tv that's a hundred dollars off it's not even they're not even i, come on. It's not like anything's free. They're all double half specials now. Double the price and cut it in half. Yeah, cut it in half. That's a good one. When I owned a car dealership, I got a standing

friends and family double half special. They'd come in and, Ryan, I know you. I got the double half special just for you, buddy. Just for you. I'll throw some undercarriage undercoating for that just for you. You think you hate it now? Wait till you drive it. Yes, yes. That's good.

Yes. So, yeah, no Black Friday for me. There's some pretty good deals out there, though. I do need a TV in the bedroom that I may or may not have banged the corner and the pixel went out. Was that during a Clemson game? Well, we take it back and forth to the boat. And one of those trips dinged it pretty good, the screen. Had a couple white claws.

Yeah, like 27. Saves a good out easy in the summertime, my friend. They're pretty delicious. So my kid likes my daughter that's of drinking age, likes the black cherry. Those are the worst ones. Yeah. It's like medicine. Yeah.

Anything cherry that's like artificial flavor. Like there's only one thing. Today's episode brought to you by Alani New. Cherry slush Alani News are the only cherry-flavored drink that I've ever had that actually tastes like a cherry slush puppy, which is tasty. Tasty as hell. It doesn't taste like medicine. Most of the stuff does, maybe because it's alcohol-based and cough medicine,

you know, when I'm pounding it. Rub a trip. You love it. I do. I love it so much going in a old uh uh alka seltzer uh what a robo robo hole yeah and an r hole r hole a little a little heavy on the the tussin the tuss tuss hole oh oh i just drank a ton of Robitussin right before this.

That's why we're so jolly. Oh, you know, what's that green squirrel doing over there? That's weird. I thought it was purple. Hey, you know, micro dosing. What's up? We didn't micro. Macro dose.

Macro my micro dose. Have you been hearing about all the micro dosing i have i'm interested i am too supposedly it's like like gives you energy and you know yeah you know it's like you're not tripping or anything so i've heard of people of i've heard about people microdosing ketamine uh yeah right uh that's some college experience. Yeah. Speaking of our holes, not our holes, but you know what I mean. I know you, man. You get it. Yeah.

But yeah, acid, ketamine, mushrooms, maybe? Could you even? I guess you could. Mixing these? Or we? No, microdose. Okay. Oh, boy.

Holy shit, dude. No. I don't think I'm going to do that. Yeah. No. No, thank you. Holy shit, dude. No. I don't think I'm going to do that. Yeah, no. No, thank you. Microdosing. I would try it. Yeah.

Do you have any? No. I use it all. A little bit at a time. Macrodosing. Macrodosing. Got a little excited, you know, for the holidays. I know how it is.

Aunt Bethany never seemed more alive. Don't throw me down, Clark. Aunt Bethany. Yes. So it's been a good week. It's been a short week as far as work goes. Everybody's off today, enjoying their time off. But Brad Lee was our guest on the podcast on Tuesday.

Yep. The CEO of VT LifeSpeed. Good friend and sales training expert. Brad is awesome. He has his own podcast called Dropping Bombs. Go check it out. I was a guest in April and he reciprocated and came on the show and he dropped bombs on the Radcast. Did he? He did. Very insightful. Truth bombs.

Truth bombs. He tells it like it is and he keeps it real. He's the real Bradley, and he definitely keeps it real. Bradley, by the way, kind of a funny name because his name's probably Bradley. Yeah, his last name is Bradley Lee. Well, you know, probably. His proper first name is probably Bradley. Bradley Lee. Bradley Lee. Bradley.

Just saying. Just saying. Cool. I'm jealous is what it is. Well, Brad's cool. He's cool. He's very successful and has a lot of good insight, so go check that out if you hadn't seen it.

Then next week, Jonathan Cinto, who is a celebrity chef. Yes, past celebrity chef. He's still technically a celebrity chef. You never not become a celebrity chef. He's still technically a celebrity chef. You never not become a celebrity chef. But talked about being on one of the many television cooking shows. He's doing his own thing. He's got his own personal brand. He's doing a lot for feeding hungry and doing a lot of initiatives for underprivileged and stuff using his kind of celebrity, his ability.

And so really look up to him. And he was a really great guest. So we recorded probably, it's been a while, eight or nine weeks ago. So I'm glad that episode is coming out. So that's coming out Tuesday. Okay.

So the day after Cyber Monday. The day, I'll probably still have my Cyber Monday hangover. Yeah. So you'll definitely want to listen. Listen to him talk about food and all that he's up to. So check out that episode next week. And as usual, it's an interesting week for our social holidays.

Oh, boy. I'm excited. I mean, yesterday was one of the biggest holidays. Actual holiday. Thanksgiving was yesterday. Hopefully you didn't miss that. Hard to miss. We promised to get ahead of the social calendar at some point but that's not this week it's not happening because

yesterday was thanksgiving if you didn't if you missed it uh you you really fucked up probably should have mentioned that one last week last week yeah but again christmas is coming up on the 25th of december perfect well done well done and we're ahead of it there's a couple coming after that too we'll get to that yes we'll get to that so um but tomorrow or excuse me excuse me getting my days mixed with 25th being actual thanksgiving do you know what today is uh well i know it's black friday okay but you know what the real social holiday is i don't national cake day cake cake okay the day after thanksgiving you have to feed your face full of cake cake that's the time you definitely don't want cake yeah i like to have my cake and eat it too you'd love that and to be clear it's the it's the food stuff cake it's not the band cake no it's cake okay it's like cake that you eat the band cake though they had a song yeah

i don't remember what it is no this is national like you bake a cake eat a cake yeah food cake food cake i'm gonna i kind of want some cake now to be but you know what shares today with not only black friday it's actually national day of. What's that? So, yeah. Thank you. Yeah, National Day of Listening. So listen to your podcast, you know. Listen to this podcast.

You're getting it done if you're listening to this podcast right now. Okay. You've celebrated National Day of Listening. That's pretty meta because we're doing the podcast right now. Yes. Wow. National Day of Listening, Black Friday, meta because we're doing the podcast right now. Yes. Wow. National Day of Listening, Black Friday, and National Cake Day all on the same day. Fucking blowing it out, dude.

I know. And tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, though. Sure it is. You've heard of that, right? I have heard of that, actually. So everyone out there goes to support small businesses. So you and I are going to go to Target, Walmart, and Sam's Club. Uh-huh. Support those small businesses so you and i are going to go to target walmart and uh sam's club uh-huh support those small businesses yeah and uh i'm gonna buy some stuff on amazon i think yeah so yeah so uh no i guess look we're so i'm a small business this radical is a small business of

sorts sure you know i could agree with that i't know what... I think it's like either number of employees or certain revenue. We might be creeping out of it. Okay. Well, I don't know. We're still like $5 billion. You have the big business mindset, though. That's true. This is true.

But it might have... I don't know what they would base it on. I think it's number of employees, like 200 plus or something. It's something... It's larger than you think. You're well under that right yeah well under well under it i don't yeah yeah i don't know you would think it you wouldn't think it would be revenue because there could be an extremely successful small

business much like your own yeah still a small business still a small business so i like keeping it small that's what she said tax it didn't make any sense i think so the uh monday cyber monday though i'm so excited yeah it's you know it's funny now with e-commerce blowing it was blown up before covid but now it's like really blown up people shopping e-commerce so cyber monday's lost like i mean i guess if the deals were amazing but it just seems like all the deals have been spread out now it seems like people started black friday november 1st oh yeah like and so like how you shop online every day now so why cyber monday doesn't make as much sense to me anymore yeah and like i think we talked about earlier i don't

really feel like the deals are that good no you know what know what I mean? And P.S., how many TVs do you need? Right? Until you break one, not me. Well, you would never do that. But yeah, I feel like it's always TVs. I honestly feel like it's all TVs. What else do they put on sale? Well, I saw like a deal for, you know, AirPod Pros, like lowest price ever, still $170.

I'm like, are you getting that excited about that still normally 225 which yeah it's a cut but like are you really getting excited about 170 airpod pros i mean you save 50 bucks like get you know if you really need them or somebody wants them as a gift hey sure i'll pocket that 50 bucks but if you really need them you probably already have them yeah i have a pair of my pocket brag you got the pros i do i didn't get the pros noise canceling i got the regulars and i will say this i'm either deaf or they're not loud enough yeah so i you know what that is i think that's years of wearing like Walkman when we were 13 or whatever and blasting music into our ears.

We did walk around with Walkmans. And then the CD Walkman. They always skipped. Discman? The Discman. The Walkman tape player was much better because it didn't skip ever. You could drop and kick that thing Chuck Norris style, and it would still play.

CD Discman's like every other second. It had the anti-skip on it. Remember that? It didn't work. It did not work at all. And they're heavy too. Yes, very heavy.

Jeez. What a world. And now, it's time for the webcast with Ryan Alford. I just felt like it was a good time to play that. That's great. There's never a bad time.

Never a bad time. Bruce Buffer's episode is airing in two weeks. Well, I've been saying it forever. I don't know. We had so many guests backlogged. And like, Bruce, I love you, but, you know, and it's it's aligning perfect with his it's time energy drink launch which is actually coming up now okay

so he's gonna get to come out right his episode will air like what his energy we talked about his energy drinks and he was somehow like being you know a month or two away right so now when the episode launches it's like you know so yeah well i'm gonna go buy some if yeah if and when that episode ever ever airs i'm gonna go buy some i hope they're as good as these alani news i really love those i don't know tropical this is a good i don't know why you don't have a sponsorship because it's women they don't want a big burly man like myself you're bringing them no question you're speaking of black friday now i will say this speaking of burly burly and black friday i'll only knew did like free promotion here they had to buy one get one free on their 12 packs that's a pretty good deal i ordered like seven

wow is it or eight exactly i think i got four and four free is it the taste is that why they're delicious and i'm gonna you know what i going to grab one on my way out. Yeah. They're very, I don't know, pleasant. So not a big rush of energy and then crash? No, not at all. It's not like some of those ones that have way too much in it. Yeah.

It's definitely more than a Coke. Okay. But it's not so much that you're like like you know like five hour energy yeah whatever yeah exactly yeah yeah like wired yeah no what's it cocaine or whatever what's it called alani new spell that a-l-a-n-i-N-U Alani Nutrition Nutrition Yeah Sure We just

That's a pretty good Good promo Good promo They need to sponsor us They do Hashtag Hashtag Alani

Yes But they're very good And But back to Bruce It's time coming out Any moment And this episode Will be out any moment

I love you Bruce But we It's been popular Guests want to get on The Radcast man Who doesn't You know Who doesnests want to get on the Radcast, man. Who doesn't? You know? Who doesn't want to get on the Radcast?

I know. It's true. I got five entries yesterday. I mean, if you think of how much I paid you every week to be on here, it's ridiculous. I know. Yes. I'm going broke. I know.

I wish you'd stop paying me so much. I know. I can't, though. It's worth it, dude. Yes. It's worth it. So, turning to our news articles number one walmart is hosting twitter's first shoppable live stream in their attempt to conquer

social commerce that's a lot of that's a lot of words i know so uh you know live shopping is all the rage and let me just i'll get on my marketing soapbox while you digest you know yeah i gotta think for a minute think about for that yeah a second so we work with e-commerce brands and you think about qvc selling live on television good stuff this is what it is now with facebook and instagram It's essentially QVC for the masses on social media because you go live with your products. You can link directly there. They can shop directly. It's just like QVC.

So if you don't have to pick up the phone and call, you can buy it straight to the app. And live shopping has become all the rage. And like Pratt Daddy is one of our clients. Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag. Love you guys. They do this like four times a week and they crush it. With the crystals or whatever? Yes.

They sell out every time they do it. People love that live engagement with the brand and buying and seeing it in kind of an organic fashion instead of just static on the page like when you go shop. Yeah. static on the page like when you you know you go shop yeah you know it's like you got images and maybe you can play a video but that live interaction is all the rage in e-commerce and twitter's getting into the game with like this live selling of course walmart you know being a behemoth is gonna be the first one to do it right you know what what are they gonna sell uh tvs i don't know but for real probably uh you know probably some squid squid game gear squid game squid game brand tv i did watch the squid game you finally watched it yes i did i didn't watch it yet really good really inappropriate for kids like

1000 perfect never i've never seen so much violence. It's so violent. Okay. Never, ever will my kids watch it. Ever. I do like violence. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah, you would like it.

It's good. I'll watch it. Yeah. I'll watch it. I gave it a thumbs up. Very good, excuse me, good story writing. Good, like, very good. Subtitled or it's dubbed?

No, dubbed. And dubbed well. Well, okay. Yeah, I can't. Some of them are dubbed better than others. This it's dubbed? dubbed and dubbed well some of them are dubbed better than others this one's dubbed well you kind of forget that it's even dubbed I like that those are the best ones some of them where it's like the old

Bruce Lee movies go get him you are in trouble you just wrote half a bruce lee movie right there that's good that's it that was that's how how much depth there is in like return of the dragon yeah i will crush you it's about fighting it's about fighting yeah but uh yes so uh but anyway i don't know how we get on that tangent but live streaming is all the rage wal Walmart, Twitter, first shoppable live stream. Squid Game.

Go check it out. Et cetera. So we talked about this pre-episode. Cheetos is turning their iconic dust from Cheetos into an art exhibit. Iconic. Basically trash. The crumbs. It's a nuisance. It's crumbs. Yeah. Let's call it what it isisance it's crumbs yeah let's call it what it is it's crumbs it's called it's like the pizza crust you throw away iconic yes and so the crumbs

from cheetos is becoming the dust it's art partnering with a few people don't remember the name don't really care honestly i remember the name you rock the bells okay sorry you read the notes show notes better than me but uh yes i i this is a pr this is a pr thing let's be honest clearly not this is not like selling more cheetos today this is like trying to you know be cool and hip with the youth or something you i don't know yeah it's like that magic angel orange dust oh boy yes uh the uh the people that did that outdoor workspace or whatever that i kind of see it as the same thing you're not really gonna nobody's gonna be like oh shit i'm gonna go buy cheetos now exactly you were gonna buy cheetos already if you were gonna buy

cheetos right yeah it's a it's a stunt stunt it is uh so yeah we'll see where that goes nowhere nowhere next on it i do like this nike has built nike land on roblox yes i do like this look kids age i don't know six to twelve roblox is all the all the rage yeah and my kids are on it all the time so and they like nike anyway but let me tell you you play dodgeball and you can try on shoes and apparel digitally i'm gonna i can tell you right now my kids have probably already found it i'm gonna be like look watching over their shoulder later i guarantee they're gonna be in nike land yeah and so you know i'm a practical marketer and with like this kind of stuff.

And when something's as hot as what Roblox is for this age group, you're trying to get ahead of them and find ways to market to them because they're not watching TV. No. Then this makes a lot of sense to me, especially when you execute it well. Yeah, it's brilliant. It is. it well yeah it's brilliant it is and it's the metaverse the video game metaverse but it's at least more practical because it's the metaverse that exists today that kids are actually playing on sure so uh hats off to nike i'm gonna give you a little absolutely brilliant yes so uh is that what so quick question yes you may not know this, but I'm going to ask anyways.

Terrible podcast etiquette. We have no rules here. No rules. The Radcast motto, no rules, just right. I like it. Wait, I think that's Outback. Yeah. Yeah.

G'day, mate. Anyway, the Nike stuff, can like try it on and then like purchase it real world i don't know that they've got that inner inner connectivity yet that would be i mean it'd be dangerous for my 11 year old yeah they're running the roblox up their road bucks their robux i think that's what they're called i'm like holy shit you're gonna have a house full of shoes seven pairs of jordans yeah where the hell did all these shoes come from they're size six yeah i'm like that's weirding fit me why does my son keep getting a bunch of fedex packages all i know why is my credit card maxed out nike land roblox a bunch of charges it's all good man it's

the metaverse like oh great no dad don't worry about it it became way more than meta it became real yeah more matter than meta yeah oh boy um so interestingly enough i don't know if you ever shop at the dollar stores you know i mean you know where else do i shop yeah exactly look how how I'm dressed. Give me a break. That's true. I like going to these places before you go to a movie or something for the kids. Load up on candy. There's certain things that you get at a dollar store that's definitely a deal that makes sense to go there. I will say that all our beer steins, like here we have keg or whatever, dollar, solid deal.

You're going to pay like $4 a piece for them at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's a great deal. I probably shouldn't have. Now everybody's going to go buy them and I'm going to be able to find them. You're not going to be able to get any more. Because they do walk off here. But yeah, when they're a dollar, it's different than if it's $5. Sure.

It's $4 difference. It's $4 difference. Stop walking off with them. Me? Yeah. You're like, stop, Joe. Stop. Yes. Stop taking them that stop taking them but uh

they've raised their prices like most everything now is a dollar 25 and they're gonna stay with that pricing because of inflation and everything else impending dollar tree this is dollar tree now dollar 25 tree yeah is there gonna be that rolls off the yeah it's they're permanently raising their prices is there is there an impending name change or i don't know probably not yeah stick with a dollar probably yeah 25 percent more than expected that's uh it's the world we live in yes 25 cents more than expected you're going there with a dollar and you're like shit you're gonna go all the signage is to have dollar tree and like right above the dollar, like point

two five. Like that really rolls off the tongue. The almost a dollar tree. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit. Everything's almost a dollar. Yeah.

And by almost we mean it's more a little bit more. Not less. It's not 97 cents. No, no. It's a dollar. Dollar. It's a dollar. I thought that was the pressing news of the week.

Yeah, it's upsetting. I like the round number of a dollar. Where am I going to buy my off-season sunscreen? It's out of expiration date. It doesn't work that well. They just priced me right out of it. They priced me out of it. They priced you right out of it.

Go get your uh holiday candy that's like all old from from last year yeah your july 4th banners don't look at the expiration date that's that's what they should call that store got like pantene in there like like it's like a shampoo from 1980 don't don't the samples yeah look at this scope mouthwash from 1974 the dollar store don't look at the expiration date yeah don't worry about it don't you worry about it call us call us dollar store i mean we just that's a brand new campaign for you right there this is true fresh on the ride cast so uh yeah i'm looking over the other notes and don't really care for any of those articles fair enough

anything else on the horizon for joe hey it's new videos coming out right new video should be out today chad and dad thanksgiving chad and dad thanksgiving is it as rude and crude as always yeah yeah it is how would you describe the rad excuse me the chad and dad characters like for listening they're basically uh the easiest way to say it is they're former like ultra frat guys yeah um but now they're out of college and they're basically they're basically soulless uh uh substance addicted um assholes basically basically they don't care about anything but but themselves and they don't even they don't even really care about each other that much. We'll put it that way. Just watch one of them, which you have.

I certainly have. If you're easily offended, don't watch it, maybe? Yeah. You got to have thick skin. You got to have a little bit of thick skin. And you have to also remember that it's not actually – I don't – these opinions expressed are not those of – Yeah, yeah.

It's a lot of stuff I wouldn't say in real life. Yeah, character play. A little bit of it. So dad and Chad. Chad and dad, yeah. Chad and dad or dad and Chad? Chad and dad. Chad and dad.

Alphabetically. We're going to have a – we actually had the male Karens. I think you've seen that one. Oh, yeah. We're going to have a – we actually had the male Karens. I think you've seen that one. Oh, yeah. We did a Christmas one last year, and we put it out on TikTok,

and it got about – oh, I don't even know – a million and a half views in like an hour, and then they took it down. If you've seen it, yeah. A little touchy. Touch and go. You can see why. You can see why. It was very funny, though.

If anybody from TikTok is listening, just ignore this. Ignore this. But we're going to try to put it back up this year. Nice. I would. If you've got a million and a half views. I mean, it wasn't even done. It was skyrocketing.

Yeah. So we'll see how that goes. It'll get taken down again, probably. Yeah. It was funny, though. It's one of my favorites. All very, very intelligent humor. Like, at first, it seems very soft, soft morgue but then when you really listen

to everything that's being said you have to watch it like three times yeah take back because you go you don't catch it's funny in the moment but then when you listen watch it the third time you catch things you didn't hear you're like it's very intelligent humor that's my favorite comments is from people that actually somebody from high school contacted me and said, on the third time I watched this, I caught this joke and it's hilarious. And I was like, my job's done. It takes me three times when y'all come out to catch all of it. And I'm totally in the target zone of this is funny shit. You know what I mean?

But then I watch it and I'm laughing and then I'm bawling by the third time because you just, you know. You catch do stuff. We're brilliant. Essentially. Bruce Buffer, though. Radcast. It's coming up. Two weeks.

It's never going to come out. We've had somebody guess, but I do think he's two weeks away now. I'm excited. He was good. He was really good. I would have to imagine. And we've been promoting it so much. Every week, we've talked about it. I think we've talked about it for...

I don't even know. Little teaser. I won't make it a little teaser. Maybe later. So everybody can find Joey, Joe, and Sean on TikTok and Instagram. So go check out Chad and and dad holiday edition yep you won't be able to avoid it it's going to be everywhere it is going to be everywhere it's gonna be in your algorithm if just from listening to this because

your alexa app's listening if you're listening to this on your podcast you're uh alexa play chad and dad yes let's just do that But yeah, it's been a good week. Appreciate you, Joe. Appreciate you. Always a good time. Happy post-Thanksgiving and happy Black Friday. Happy National Listening Day. Yes.

I'm listening to you, my friends. I can hear you. I can hear you. I see you. I acknowledge you. It's John. Well, that would be Seeing Day, but I was going to say John Cena would hate that day. Can't see me. John Cena. Oh, boy. You know what? Let's end it with John Cena day, but I was going to say John Cena would hate that day. Can't see me.

John Cena. Oh, boy. You know what? Let's end it with John Cena. We're going to end it with John Cena. I wish I had his music. I kind of like that. That'd be good.

Outro music. Could you get him on the Radcast? Yes, I could. I think we should. I would love that. Yeah. My son would think I was the coolest person in the world. I've actually been talking to a couple of pro wrestlers about coming on. Some pretty big names that I can love that. Yeah. My son would think I was the coolest person in the world. I've actually been talking to a couple of pro wrestlers about coming on,
