They're just going straight meta. Yeah. Which is both maybe the smartest and stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Like, if this ends up being as big as they think it will be, you might as well be the, I don't know, the Band-Aid of the metaverse. The meta of the metaverse. Kleenex, Xerox, right? The AR stuff and the gaming and stuff, it's coming along.

But the promise of all this stuff seemed like it was a lot greater than what's become reality. Of a augmented reality. They used for something noble like doing a surgery on the battlefield or something. And now it's time for the Red Pass

with Ryan Alford! The hottest part of ending is starting again. 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 another edition of the Radcast. I'm joined by Joe Hamrick. What's up, brother? Hey, Ryan. Good to have you. Man, it's good to be here. Welcome to another edition of the Radcast. Joined by Joe Hamrick.

What's up, brother? Hey, Ryan. Good to have you. Man, it's good to be here. How are you today? I'm ready for our weekly advertising, marketing, pop culture, bands of the week. I wasn't that excited, but now that you did that, I'm pretty excited. Yeah.

I'm also excited because a certain team won the other night well who was that ryan let it play let it play let it sink in the atlanta braves are your 20 21 world series champions world series champions yes had to get the chop in yeah of course yeah it's a great great series for the braves yeah i'm not gonna let culture cancel it World Series champions. World Series champions. Yes. Had to get the chop in. Yeah, of course. Yeah. It was a great series for the Braves. Yeah. I'm not going to let culture cancel it, you know? Don't do it. You know, you're saluting the Braves and the culture, the history of the Braves.

It's not hate, people. It's love. It's about love. You know? And I love the Braves. It's coming from a good place. It is coming from a good place. Right there.

So I feel good about the Braves winning the World Series. We talked about this little anti-climatic ass-kicking. Yeah, that was not a great game six. For the Astros, it wasn't great. It was great for the Braves. I felt like the heart of the city fell to the floor when Soler hit that home run that's still in the air. I think it's still flying. I think I saw it go i think i saw it go by the window rolled into our place and then it went back in

the air it was hit so hard it regenerated the flight uh i've never hit someone seen anyone hit the ball so hard that was great i like like we said earlier like the moment he hit it yeah he said he didn't look at the ball he's He was just like, yep, that's gone. They showed the pitcher in his face of just disappointment. Like, he knew. Yeah. It's over. I think the heart of the city fell.

I think the heart of the team was gone. Oh, yeah. It was like, okay, I think that might be it. Yeah, that was a momentum switch at the very least. It was. So, congrats to the Atlantalanta braves your 2021 world series champions uh had a good good week here at the agency we had a uh podcast on tuesday with the cmo of webex at by cisco really pretty big deal i we i use that yeah aruna revish andren

that's the fastest i've said her name. Okay. Aruna Rivasandran. That's a very cool name. That's a very cool name. It is a cool name, and she's a cool lady. She was an engineer and then went into marketing, and now she's the freaking CMO of one of the largest companies in the U.S. She must be pretty good. Yeah, super smart.

Yeah. Perhaps the smartest guest we've ever had and made me feel a little dumb. Spencer. Smarter than Spencer? I don't know. come on spencer is pretty smart come on i would show him you said that no ryan we'll talk about it later yeah we'll talk about it um and then next week the second smartest guy i know who's actually a client so uh you can call me self-serving but he's actually incredibly intelligent. We had a really interesting discussion about companies.

And his name is Barry Silverman. He's the vice president of marketing and branding at Ultra Fabrics. And we talked about how you've been seeing the values of the company and kind of the company's purpose become more into the marketing realm. Sure. values of the company and kind of the company's purpose become more into the marketing realm and how the impact that's having on employees, good, bad, and how in the future companies are going to have to do more of that because

consumers aren't going to let brands kind of stay in the messy middle without kind of taking a stand on certain principles. Sure. And he talked about the uh realities of that the challenges of that and just a really smart discussion um about how companies just aren't going to be able to hide from it like social issues is what we're talking about yeah social issues politics so i can't think of one social issue right now that people are mad about. Can you? Everybody's on the same page, it seems like to me. Yes.

Or not. Not at all. Nothing. Literally nothing. There's no divide at all. Yeah, no. Yeah. No split down the middle.

Let's talk vaccine. Let's talk any number of things. In fact, let's not do that. Let's not. We've promised to not talk about that on the podcast. Did we? We just did. Just now.

Just now. I think that's a great idea. We're going to do this with the vaccine. Hold on. We're going to let that play out. That's how far it's going down. And yes, it's important. But you know what?

So are a lot of other things. Yeah. And we're going to talk about those. That's dominating every news cycle, everything. mean yeah yeah entirely i'm tired of it i'm tired of it yeah i don't want to stop watching the news yeah you know other than researching these these episodes right it's marketing news instead of bad news bad news news bears yep but in in some more important news we have some social holidays okay those are always very important they're very important there's a special one that's super important coming up and the first one which is saturday which is kind of not so much a

social holiday but daylight savings ends so if you're hearing this and it's not you know april of 2024 right which is very possible because these episodes live on in perpetuity right but uh timeless some yeah they are timeless yeah uh but uh saturday is fall back fall back you gain an hour of sleep so you gain an hour sleep or you just stay up an hour later so how you want to look at it let me i because i get confused about this number one that is my wife's birthday saturday happy birthday carrie november 7th november 7th it's a great day for her yeah so no one else no my kids probably they probably they probably are glad that day happened uh

Like it's lighter later? No, it's dark at like five o'clock. It's the opposite. The opposite. Daylight savings. And I have no idea the rationale for the terminology. But we're going to have a lot less light at night and more in the morning, though. So 6.30 a.m., it'll be nice and sunny. Great.

Just like you want it. Yeah, perfect. When you hit the snooze button for the fourth time. Unnecessary. The sun's beaming through. Beaming through. Yeah. But you do wear that sleep mask i wear several yeah you know i wear actually wear a hood of latex hood with a

Absolutely not. Perfect.

My cappuccino is known as Red Bull. Red Bull, sure. I don't drink coffee, really. No, I don't either. I like it, but I prefer an energy drink. It's just quicker to the point. It's the same thing. You know, it's caffeine.

What about five-hour energy? Nah. It's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah You know, it's caffeine. What about five-hour energy? Nah. It's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah, that can get messy. Yeah, I like to at least balance it out over 12 ounces or 16 ounces or whatever it is. I've had five today. That's why I'm shaking a little bit.

You are very jittery. I drank a bunch of chamomile tea, so I'm the opposite. I'm just like really laid back, bro. Yeah, just laid back. I didn't drink any tea. No, you didn't. And Monday is STEM Day.

Do you know what STEM Day is? Science, technology, and engineering, math or something? Yes. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Did I get it for real? Yeah. Good job. Nice work. STEM Day is my wife's assistant principal at a middle school, so I should know a lot about STEM.

I bet you don't. I don't. Perfect. Unless the M is marketing, and it's not. It's not. It should be. Yeah, it should be. Social, technology.

Social media, technology, energy, and marketing. Energy and marketing, STEM. STEM, yes. Copyright that real quick i just nick can you copyright that immediately send it in the patent call the patent office please perfect thank you thank you so much the uh so there's your social holidays this week moving on to our key news topics number one important so important these are important number one we're getting meta folks

we talked about it a couple weeks ago the potential name changes for facebook it didn't come true we liked faceplant they didn't go for it we sent that in it's a shame zuckerberg didn't didn't didn't like it signed it off but they're just going straight meta yeah which is both maybe the smartest and stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Like, if this ends up being as big as they think it will be, you might as well be the, I don't know, the Band-Aid of the metaverse. The meta of the metaverse. Kleenex, Xerox, right?

Yeah, yeah. But I don't know. There's a lot of stuff out there, talk, that it's all a cover-up to try to distract from the bigger issues facebook's been having i yeah i would i could see zuckerberg's not a suckerberg hey i like that very good but yeah i could see that yeah i could see it um the just we've talked about this a lot i just and my kids are into it I see there's value

being put into it but it's like can we figure out the real world before we figure out the metaverse yeah you know

like yeah I don't know what about this Facebook's like we're just gonna fuck up the real world as much as possible now we're just gonna

create the meta world flip it yeah like maybe we start fresh in the metaverse we're uh we won't fuck everything else up and the fact that it's called meta is it itself meta right so i just figured that out probably nobody else knew that no it's okay if it took everyone else that long, they really wasted some money.

Somebody from Facebook is listening to this and is like, oh, shit, he's right. Look at that. Yes. So I don't know. We'll see how it happens. But I do think it's a good time to refrain and think about one of our good friends. And now it's time for the Radcast with Ryan Alford. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you.

Thank you. I mean, you're getting mileage out of that. That's sweet, though. I would, too. You know, Bruce Buffer does your intro. I would be hard-pressed not to, like you said, play it every time I walked into my house. I know. I think we're like at six.

We haven't even released his episode yet, and i've played that in every episode since he recorded it for us sure why so i can't wait it's we're about two weeks away from his episode and really yeah so bruce buffer i look forward to that one i know yeah that's a good one it was good and it's coming out soon folks keep your eye on the dial. Hey, do this. Set up a Google alert for the Radcast, and you'll get alerted by Google with an email when it comes out. And all our episodes, for that matter. I think that's probably everyone should do that. Not just this listening, but pass it on.

Yes, share it with people. Share it. Sharing is caring. You always say that. It is. You always say that. It is. But you're right. Teamwork makes the say that it is it is but you're right

teamwork makes the dream work thank you thank you thank you very much thank you so uh walmart is going to be using ar and shoppable content to connect brands with consumers okay so they're you know facebook you know has like filters that are like ar you can put on your pictures and stuff. Mm-mm. Yeah. So you're going to be able to use the AR filter from Facebook to see your expression on certain products to see how excited you are about them. The fuck are you talking about? Are you serious? The future is now, buddy but so like while you're

in the store no through facebook app okay i was gonna say like they're like you're looking at something in the store and like oh and they're like capturing you real time no it's that's almost as bad though it is as bad yeah uh you know the ar stuff and the gaming stuff, it's coming along. But the promise of all this stuff seemed like it was a lot greater than what's become reality, of augmented reality. You know, I mean, it's like... Right. We use for something noble, like doing a surgery on the battlefield

or something. Yeah. Something like that. And here we have fucking Walmart. Facebook filters. Scott Paper towels. i'm so excited hey oh look how look how ryan looked at those cheez-its he really loves cheez-its yes he he looked at those spicy doritos and he was drooling which actually that's true i would be yeah yes those are real good i'd be saying that and thinking that yeah hallelujah like he's really triggered by the spicy Doritos

It's getting a little weird He's got a tear in his eye Weeping He's openly weeping I don't understand what's happening I don't know why he likes it so much But I do So in the world of

Live streaming It's becoming huge. And Pinterest is debuting live stream shopping through what's aptly named Pinterest TV. Oh, okay. Wow. Creative name. I really thought long and hard at that. Pinterest TV. Pinterest TV. Isn't it funny that we have social media and social media wants to classify tv as

dead you know because saying that you know that is a medium is dying right but yet we're gonna call yeah our live streaming pinterest tv apple tv right and what's funny now is most tv is uh place shifted anyway which means like you don't watch it live yeah you it's yeah time shifted place shifted yeah and you watch it on your time right so it's not necessarily live anyway listen i watch tv on my time on my time not your time that's funny i didn't know that term though that's i'm gonna use that i'm gonna sound really smart later yeah play shifting i'm gonna say that to my hey yeah we recorded that game. We could play shift it.

Yeah, play shift it and time shift it. She's going to be like, shut up. The notion that, you know, it's kind of like the reason podcasts are popular is because they don't... They don't... You can consume them when you want to. Right.

On demand. On demand is exactly what it is. I don't know if they consume them when you want to. Right. On demand. On demand is exactly what it is. I'd rather they would call it Pinterest on demand. But I guess they think live is associated with TV still. Or just Pinterest live? Pinterest live. Would be fine. Call Joe Hamrick if you'd like a better naming commission.

Yeah, just a name for you. I'll put my number up. Don't put my number up, Nick. Yeah, yeah. Just throw it up. It just went up. Okay, well. Oh, that was your social security number.

Oh, shit. Well, I got to go. Whoops. I got to go close to the accounts. Get a credit profile check. You do have credit alerts, right? Sure, sure, sure. I do now.

If I just got one. Yes. Oh, boy. Oh, yes. In other news, in the news of the no shit world, the reliability and quality of news content plays a significant role in achieving brand safety a new study finds file that under under in for no shit right yeah in this yeah uh you think yeah but but here's

what i want to know who is judging the reliability and the quality of the news content it's as long as it's on fox news it's all true right i think so i think if it's on c as it's on Fox News, it's all true, right? I think so. And if it's on CNN, it's false. Or vice versa, right? This is not a political statement. Using this as the judgment call. Tucker Carlson said it, it must be true. If Don Lemon said it, it must not be.

I mean, that's what it comes down to, right? What sources do you believe? Yeah. Remember you used to be able to read the newspaper or watch the news and honestly just be like, that's impartial reporting. I believe that because it's what happened. It's hard to do now. It's hard to watch anything without a little bit of a, hmm.

It's a podcast and I'm doing a weird look, which is not going to translate. It's not going to translate to the audio part. But that's like more of a hmm. Right. That was good. Was that good? What the what?

Huh? You said what? Chris Farley. We secretly replaced. You son of a bitch. You did what? Yeah. That's one of the best ever it is uh i wish he was still around yeah that'd be good you could have him on the radcast yeah yes we could hallelujah so uh okay we're scrolling on now

the uh other facebook news they're gonna they're gonna delete facial recognition data on more than a billion users okay how are they choosing that uh i don't know how many i'll say oh 300 billion like 30 billion or something like that. Not even a real number, really. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, okay. And what's scarier is the fact that they have it, right? Right. To eliminate it, you have to have it first. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.

It's like everybody using, you know, open your phone with your face. They've got all that data, and they've been keeping it. But they're going to delete it for us. I think. They're going to be nice. Thanks, Facebook. Yeah, I trust them now. Appreciate you.

I trust them now. Oh, good. They're worthy of my trust. Yeah, I'm not screaming on that. Oh, I'm not sure. Yeah. So we're just going to chalk that one up and let you think about that for a moment. The fact that they've been holding on to it and that they're telling you they're going to delete it.

And if you believe that, I've got some ice in iceland yeah you do it's good ice too people it is call and put the number up nick for the ice hotline that we're yeah i've also got some life water i'm gonna sell you i'm not gonna call it death water which seems to be really popular now in the can yeah he's in the can right death water or whatever it seems like it wouldn't taste good out of the can. I mean, death usually doesn't. Ding. Yeah. Not even pressing the button. I'm just going to verbalize it now.

That's fine. So the Match Group, who owns Tinder and Match and all the dating profiles, there's two married men. We would know very little about this. Missed out on it. Missed out. Well, I actually married my second wife through Match. Did you?

Yes. Nicole and I met on Match, and it turned out to be better than the first, so maybe it does work. It must at least work a little bit. So I missed out on that whole thing. You didn't miss much. No. I mean, it was convenient.

Sure. You know, so I'd have to go to a bar or get introduced to somebody or whatever we did. You're the most convenient wife I've ever had. It was so convenient. I got to shop online. It was like shopping. It was. It was like e-commerce before e-commerce.

This was in 2012. That's amazing. E-commerce before 2012, obviously. But it was definitely shopping. That's hilarious. Shopping online. online shopping for a wide mail order mail order bride that actually lives local local yeah you didn't have to go to russia yeah that's fantastic no i was going to if i had to yeah you gotta do what you gotta do yeah

they don't talk back as much over there really i heard the opposite i don't know i but it's it is funny like we were in high school obviously college at the same time none of that existed and you had to go to a bar yes or a party or run into somebody on this or whatever yeah right work at the same place is a good one now but now it's like it's like 80 of how people meet right totally if you gave me a phone and said, set up a Tinder profile, and then we'll do whatever, match with someone, I guess, I'd be like, I don't know how to do that. Yeah.

I wouldn't know how to do Tinder, but match, yes. Sure. It's different, though, right? Yeah. Match is kind of like a social profile, but for dating. Tinder is just like swiping, like, do you think hot or not, not kind of it's who you want to bang essentially yeah right yeah bang or slang i don't know right whatever whatever the teens are saying right now yeah whatever it is but uh anyway so they're uh we didn't even get to what the article was i lost the whole point of what

we were talking i think that was even more interesting than maybe the article they're doing a dating metaverse. Of course they are. If you hate dating in the real world, where do you try the metaverse? Are you serious? Oh my God. So it's like avatars, I guess?

Yeah. Yeah. So it's fake dating in a fake world. You don't even really see what someone looks like either, right? You know, I can make myself a little beefier, a little hotter. You don't need to get any beefier. You're a beefcake right now right now i like it this is taking a turn but uh yeah turn for the better but yeah you make your avatar anything you wanted to be just have a bunch of hot people in the metaverse are they calling it catfish yeah is that what they're calling it yeah i got catfish to the metaverse. Are they calling it catfish? Yeah. Is that what they're calling it? Yeah, I got catfished in the metaverse. Yeah.

I knew she was going to be as high as she was. Her avatar was just a mask. That's hilarious. That's the most hilarious. She really lives in the ghetto in the metaverse. That's the best sentence I've ever heard. I got catfished in the metaverse. Because, like, is there going to be a hierarchy in the metaverse like you're gonna have you know

rich people in the billionaire metaverse and you're gonna have like people like where i live the not in the metaverse in the uh the billionaire house across the meta train tracks on the on the wrong side yeah yeah i hope so and that's how they got she said she was on this side of the tracks yeah she really lived over there I got catfished I got catfished in the metaverse That's the saddest thing ever maybe That would be awesome That would be

I almost want to get catfished I want to do some prank calling in the metaverse Can you? I don't know I want to We used to do a bit of that Oh yes we did Oh yeah

Okay Alright We were jerky boys before there were jerky boys. Yeah. We were the herky jerky boys. That was a metaverse. Yeah. Calling Summer Malden's mom.

You remember that? Oh. Oh, yeah. I remember calling a bunch of people. And I remember saying a lot of things today would be. Yeah. You can't say them today. You can't say those things. We did a lot of things. Recorded... Yeah, you can't say them today. You can't say those things. We did a lot of things.

Recorded it, too. Yeah, those tapes are out there somewhere. Oh, boy. That's scary. That is a little scary, actually. I'm just glad there wasn't smartphones. Think about that. That's what I'm scared of.

It's like my kids growing up with smartphones. Like, if we'd had them, we probably wouldn't have jobs right now. No, probably not. I mean, not because we did anything like, I don't know, ill. I don't think it's illegal. Well, maybe. Partially.

It's a gray area. Here's a good example. There's nothing on the internet that I know of me coming out of a bar and falling on my face. Yeah. Has that happened? Maybe. You'll never happened maybe you'll never know you'll never know right yeah and i want to divulge it sure you would never tell i mean it no fewer than twice i mean right yeah sure theoretically theoretically theoretically in the metaverse i got drunk and fell over carjacked i got you can get all that stuff in the metaverse. I think so.

You know, in a pleasant. I got cirrhosis of the liver in the metaverse. It's a shame. Your avatar didn't make it very long. I did not know. I was drinking too much meta fireball. Meta juice. That's the dumbest thing ever.

We should start patenting terminology in the metaverse. That might be a good thing. Can we do that? I think so. I think we just did. Nick, get the patent office terminology in the metaverse. That might be a good thing. Can we do that? I think so. I think we just did. Nick, get the patent office back on the phone. Thank you very much. Patent clerk slash producer extraordinaire.

And finally, in very important news, Jay-Z is finally on Instagram. Thank God. I mean, how long have we been waiting? I'm going to give him like a double. Yeah. I've been waiting for that, you know? You and I have been talking about it for what? 20 years probably.

Yeah, or 20 minutes at least. Yeah, 20 seconds. Yeah, this was a Hypebeast article. Give Hypebeast some credit. I do like Hypebeast. Do you go to Hypebeast for the shoe rankings and stuff like that? I know you're a shoe whore. Shoe whore.

You never wear. No, I have lots of pairs of shoes I never wear. Lots of Yeezys that never get worn. That is correct. I guess that's what you're supposed to do. I wear all my nice stuff. I like, you know, I get some Jordans. They might, I probably should not wear them, but I do.

You do have some nice Jordans. I gotta get a pair of Jordans. I don't have one pair. I bought my kids. I saw them. Some nice kicks. Those are dope. Yeah. They eat straight A's. You get some nice kicks, get a pair of jordan's i don't have one pair i bought my kids i saw some nice kicks yeah they eat straight a's you get some nice kicks you know yeah those are nice yep my son uh we buy him new shoes then we just have to buy him more new shoes in like a week

ridiculous yeah i know kind of scared of that but but nash is five so they don't completely wear them out we can hand them down. Good call. I could actually wear Owen's hand-me-down shoes at this point. Really? Yeah, I think he wears a size bigger than he wears. Maybe there's a strategy there. Be like, oh, Owen, don't you really like these?

And then I don't have to have the pain of wearing new shoes and getting them dirty. Because that's really what it's about. If I put on a pair of those Yeezys and I walked out and it was raining that's a heartbreaker yes it is right but uh jc's on instagram oh shit yeah i forgot already it's like how many followers did he get in a day like five million or something who knows gotta be why how was he not on instagram i don't know i didn't know he wasn't i just saw this article and i'm like okay i didn't. I wonder if there's any other celebrities that aren't on Instagram. I don't know.

Kanye. Ye is on. He is. He's definitely on there. He's got 50 million followers. What about Pete Davidson? He's the new Kanye. Yeah.

As far as Kim Kardashian is concerned. Yeesh. Have you heard that? Yeah. That's weird. I don't know. Are they together together?

I don't know. It's very strange. They're just friends. They're probably just friends. All celebrities are now just friends. It's that? Yeah. That's weird. I don't know. Are they together together? I don't know. It's very strange. They're just friends. They're probably just friends. All celebrities are now just friends. It's casual. Yeah. It's casual.

Yeah, fuck buddies. Yeah. We're just casual. Probably. It's cool. Kanye's going to beat his ass. Speaking of things that weren't cool when we were kids. What's that?

Speaking of things that weren't cool when we were kids. Right, right. That exact thing. No platonic anything. Nope. It's a waste of time. Any other good news from you this week? No, man.

Anything happening in your world? I think I told you I'm going to Vegas. Oh, yeah. Nice. So stay in the Cosmopolitan on your recommendation. There's a sneaker boutique in there. Yes, there is. Did you go into it?

Yes. It's pretty cool. It's cool. What do they have? Is it stuff that's like way like Gucci and like? A little bit of both. Okay. There's some stuff in there.

It's a pro tool. Pricing is a pro tool? Yeah. Yeah. What are we talking about? So there's some Jordans and stuff in there? Yeah. Jordans, Yeezys, stuff like that.
