Right there.
I don't think I did that right.
Are you guys Friday the 13th fans?
Like, either the movie or otherwise?
I like horror.
A lot.
I just watched American Horror Story in 1984.
And that is the knockoff of Friday the 13th a little bit.
It's pretty good.
Homage.
It's pretty good.
I like that one. Did you actually watch that one? I did watch it. I watched it quite a while ago. No big deal.
Okay. Josh, you a horror fan?
I am, but I haven't seen
Friday the 13th. Oh my
God.
Double.
You're gonna get it.
You're gonna get it. I mean, but any, what's your
favorite horror film? Roundtable here. Favorite horror film. Probably a tie you're gonna get it you're gonna get it i mean but any what's your favorite part of your horror
film go around round table here favorite horror films probably a tie between the witch and
hereditary very scary never heard of either one of those i've heard the witch which was pretty
scary i've heard of a witch yeah yeah so i don't is it like that yeah pretty much. Perfect. Like the Wicked Witch of the West? Sure.
Both.
Yeah.
Big fan of both.
Never keep up with which one was which.
Yeah, that's what I was talking about.
It's the Wizard of Oz, my favorite horror movie.
Scared me.
Well, that was a scary scene with the monkeys flying in on top of... Oh, yeah.
I was like a seven-year-old.
I was terrified.
Oh, absolutely. Anyway. Yeah, I liked Friday the 13th, though. I liked those scary movies. flying in on you know top of oh yeah it's like a seven-year-old i was terrified oh absolutely
anyway yeah i like party of the 13th though i like those scary movies like the shit now is just not
that it's like the purge i'm like are you kidding me more gore right than it is yeah it's like okay
when i love about the purge though it's like people are like always talking about like when
it comes to violence and stuff they're like we're too crazy i'm gonna go home and watch the purge and it's like dude this is like the most violent movie
ever made i'm just gonna relax by watching the purge man yeah kick back kick back and watch the
purge yeah i like to purge the purge yeah oh i uh i think my favorite and this might be controversial
is uh candy man remember candy man oh yeah thatman? I think they're making another one.
Maybe. But that scared me pretty good.
It was scary.
Something like that quasi-believable
slash scared the crap out of me.
Set in what? Chicago, I guess?
Yeah. Gritty.
It was gritty.
It scared me.
Is there a Chicago movie that's not gritty?
That's hilarious. Blues Brothers? that's gritty though a little the muppets take oh that's manhattan yeah yeah that's great that's pretty gritty though too
if you watch anything said in the city is immediately gritty gritty yeah martin scorsese
urban great there's a new new fan film called Jason Rising.
I was doing my research for Friday the 13th for the episode
and came across the trailer.
Pretty scary, actually.
But I'm sure at certain points, though,
the fan films start going downhill fast.
They do.
No.
No go.
They can make the trailer look good,
but then it's like, oh, the acting.
Well, they can get the rights to some of the stuff, probably,
and they probably can't do as cool stunts.
Well, the whole Friday the 13th movie
is tied up in court right now, supposedly.
That's why there hadn't been one in 15 years.
I learned that, too.
Because the original screenplay writer
who supposedly wrote it
and transitioned rights to a director the first director
he came back after the fact and said he didn't really mean to and it's been in like appeals
course so there's probably more to it someone's going you know actually it was uh you know it was
in the 13th circuit uh court of chicago they uh whatever it tied up in court. You've seen Freddy versus Jason,
but have you seen
Jason versus
Warner Brothers Studios?
This time it's personal.
He's back with a vengeance.
Sounds gritty.
We've had a good week
at Radical.
The Radcast
is picking up
steam.
We had
Spencer Pratt.
His episode launches
next week from the Hills.
Yep.
You guys watch the Hills.
You guys Hills fans.
Hills have eyes.
Yay.
To stay on the horror theme.
Yes.
Yeah.
Very good.
I have watched the Hills.
I was not a huge fan.
Yeah.
Hot girls on there?
Yeah.
Pretty hot.
For sure.
Yeah.
I like that.
Lauren Conrad.
Sure.
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with looking at her back in 2007.
Yeah, whenever that was.
She works in a Denny's now.
So, probably not.
No, she's got like a line at Kohl's or something.
Oh, okay.
I'll stop by.
With my Kohl's cash.
I got a lot of Kohl's cash.
You've got the app.
Saved up, yeah.
Obviously.
But Spencer's cool. We're actually doing work for Spencer's cash. You've got the app. Saved up, yeah. Obviously. But Spencers School, we're actually doing work for Spencers.
PrattDaddy.com.
I saw that.
Selling crystals.
It's exciting.
Those crystals.
I saw some people selling crystals outside.
We are in an urban area.
I was under the train tracks over there.
Yeah, do you channel it with a tinfoil pipe?
Because that's what he...
The crystal he was...
Yeah, he had a broken light bulb he was trying to fit.
It's just the packaging.
Okay.
PrattDaddy.com.
Yes.
That is...
So that's his website.
Yes, that is his website.
We're going to be doing SEO optimization content,
you know,
getting him and Heidi Montag looking like a million dollars selling real crystals and meteorites. She probably doesn't needie montag looking like a million dollars
selling real crystals and meteorites she probably doesn't need your help to look like a million
dollars that's clear quite clear yes he might but she does not no he doesn't call faye anderson
who was the radcast on country ever after on netflix if you haven't seen it good but uh
country music artist.
He won two awards.
Number one, two awards for things that have never happened on the Radcast.
Number one, the most energy of any guest we've ever had.
I mean, off the chain, positivity, awesome dude.
Number two, serenade.
Guitar and song.
Wow.
I wouldn't call it just for me, but for our listeners. It was just for you.
He played a couple jams.
He said your name in it.
The song was called Ryan Holford.
Owner of Radical. But it could
have been for anybody. Yeah. Hey, but hey,
if you're listening to this, you need to
listen. We've got some big hitters coming up.
And Tyler Rich, who's got
several big hits on country music,
he's going to be a guest next month.
And a couple guests that I've got to keep up my sleeve.
I can't really.
Their agents haven't completely authorized release notes yet.
But things are heating up.
Wild card.
Wild card.
So to be clear, he had more energy than we do?
Is that what you're saying?
Do you want us to say? On the guest interviews, not the news interviews.
Okay.
Well, that's fair.
Do you like people?
Obviously, he's a buddy, but do you guys like people that are energetic?
Or at times are you like, dude, you got to.
I like it on the podcast.
Yeah, sure.
Because it's not like pulling teeth to get them to talk about things.
But in real life, you know it's it can go down a little yeah that's why I'm on the podcast
but he put me over in the cubicle just away from him because you're a ball of energy you're just
yeah that's what I'm known for is that right is that what you're known for okay I actually saw
his interview,
and he seemed to be licking his gums a lot and scratching his neck.
Do you think that's...
I don't know.
He was sniffling a lot, too.
I don't know where that energy came from.
Oh, boy.
Is it natural?
Allegedly.
Oh, yes.
So keep on the lookout for all things Radcast,
the big hitters coming.
And we're intermixing some marketing guests.
We've got some guys from Nielsen here today to talk.
The upper and lower funnel,
which may not sound as interesting to everyone,
but the purchase funnel.
And it's going to actually be exciting for me
as a marketing geek.
Okay.
But Nielsen is the ratings people, right?
Yes, they are.
Nice.
Okay.
Yes. So, we're going to talk about they are. We're going to talk about the
death of television.
They're aware of it.
Yeah.
They're aware of it.
You're going to bring it up and they're going to be like, what?
What? The death of what? What are you talking about?
Chris Farley.
We secretly changed your coffee for Folgers or whatever.
I showed you that the other day.
You did what?
You're Columbia with BF Crystals.
TV ratings have secretly been dying for years.
You son of a bitch.
You son of a bitch.
Who knew?
Yeah.
Hey, social holidays this week.
We've got two that are really exciting.
National Relaxation Day is August 15th.
Perfect.
It's the 15th?
Two days.
That's Sunday.
I took five Xanax today.
You're a little early.
Yeah.
It might last until then.
You took five.
And August 16th, the day after, is National Tell-A-Joke Day.
Okay.
I'll be thinking of a good one.
You guys want to hear a joke?
Yeah.
Okay.
No.
It's not even National Tell-A-Joke Day, but I'd love to hear it.
You want to get out ahead of it?
Yeah, I kind of want to get out ahead of it.
Let's do it.
I want to hear it.
Let's do it.
Let's hear it.
I walked in on my roommates, and they were making love on the kitchen table,
and I had to have that roommate conversation where I say,
Mom and Dad, you got to quit doing that.
You're shaking the whole trailer.
They didn't like it.
Wait, you can boo me.
Go ahead and play a boo sound.
Is there a boo sound?
He didn't like that one.
Same thing. They went up popsicle. Well, come on. Someone there a boo sound? He didn't like that one. Same thing.
They want a popsicle.
Well, come on.
Someone tell a better joke then, all right?
No.
I would never expose myself like that.
I would expose myself, to be clear, just not like that.
So in some real marketing news,
Wendy's is actually doing, so it's Friday the 13th,
and for Friday the 13th weekend,
now we're extending it to the whole weekend,
whatever that means.
But it's known for being bad luck.
I mean, there's a whole history of Friday the 13th being bad luck.
But Wendy's wants to clear your bad luck
by giving away croissant sandwiches in the morning.
They're pushing their big breakfast stuff.
So if you want a free croissant,
depending on when you're listening to this podcast,
it releases at 4.30 a.m.
So you still have time.
But you have Friday and Saturday
to go get a free croissant.
Are they participating?
Participating.
Okay.
Asterisk.
That's an asterisk.
Wendy's.
So just to be clear,
how is getting food poisoning going to clear my bad luck?
Wendy's is not a sponsor of the Ratcast.
No longer.
Just now got the text.
They're never coming on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like I said earlier, I mean, when I think fresh homemade croissants, instantly I think Wendy's.
I mean, I really value restaurants that don't do one thing really well.
They just kind of like diversify the food offerings.
Yeah.
Kind of like a grocery store.
I think that's normally a sign of a good establishment.
Kind of like Hardee's used to do.
Hot dogs, ham sandwiches, burgers, chickeny's used to do hot dogs ham sandwiches burgers
chicken they used to have fried chicken at hardy's yeah from clemson oh yes i will say this i am not
a huge fast food guy anymore but when i think of like breakfast fast food i do like a sandwich from
burger king yeah or some french toast sticks i'll that. Neither one of which are very good for you.
But those are tasty.
Taco Bell's breakfast, not bad.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Not bad.
The breakfast crunch wrap.
The what wrap?
The crunch wrap.
Crunch wrap, okay.
That was a different thing.
It's not bad.
It's very bad for you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You guys are going to hate on Wendy's and go to Taco Bell?
No.
Make a run for the board.
Come on.
Wendy's is one of my tops for lunch and dinner, the late night snacks.
You can't beat the 4 for 4.
I could agree with that.
Wendy's, it somehow seems better than the McDonald's and the Burger King.
Also not sponsors of the Rat Cast no no okay that's what it's all fast food it is all fast food but some for some reason it
seems better it does maybe because they used to have that no they do seem better the tech
filet seems better it does you know it's not though it's not it's not it's literally not
but they fooled the whole world. They're like Satan.
They've made everyone believe that it's not exist, that it's unhealthy.
I like that analogy.
They would not like that.
A lot of hate mails coming your way.
You put the menu on a white background, and that's what makes it healthier.
You get some teenagers in the parking lot with iPads, yeah all of a sudden it's healthy he held
the door for me it must be healthy they have kale we're sticking with the fast food theme here so uh
if you've ever been to uh mcdonald's and i have kids so we go regularly for the happy meals hold
on i thought you said you didn't do fast food my kids you know you have any drive-thrus i've
gone through and never bought a thing for myself? About 10,000.
But have you ever tried to order an ice cream or a McFlurry from a McDonald's?
And what's usually the issue?
Machine's broken.
Machine's broken.
Well, hey, it's been revealed. The reason the ice cream machine and the McFlurry machine is broken is because the maker of it purposefully put a default in the software with which they have the monopoly to fix.
That's why they're always down.
And it's true.
Brilliant.
That doesn't get much smarter than that.
And it's just absolutely crippled McDonald's.
They're struggling.
I think it makes people. It's a scarcity thing. McDonald's. They're struggling. They're out of it.
I think it makes people, it's a scarcity thing.
It makes people want it more.
Yeah.
Oh, they didn't, bro.
Oh, shit.
I'm thinking about it.
Three days.
Then they really come in.
They order seven of them. Instead of one.
Pour them all over their head.
Oh, that's.
No.
I think I've seen that one.
Yeah.
There's nothing more disappointing than you have kids.
You're going there for the ice cream. And then you pull up to the drive-thru sign,
and someone's taped it up there, and, you know,
some quasi-English ice cream machine broken.
You guessed it.
Our ice cream machine's broken, as usual.
Fuck.
My kids are, like, crying.
I'm like, it's okay.
We'll go to Wendy's and get a Frosty.
Frosty's.
Frosty's.
Have you guys seen? I never saw The Founder. You know what I'm talking about? The Wendy's and get Frosty's. Frosty's. Have you guys seen?
I never saw The Founder.
You know what I'm talking about?
The McDonald's movie?
Oh, yeah.
They're going to make a sequel, though, called The Founder 2.
The ice cream machine is down.
He's having an existential crisis about all his ice cream machines being down.
He comes back from the dead to resolve the ice cream machine issue.
He goes undercover at Wendy's to find out the Frosty.
How do they do with the Frosty's?
He's so good with it.
All right, I'm done.
I'm leaving.
That's fine.
We've been Joey and Joe.
Thank you so much.
It's an elimination podcast.
The elimination.
Elimination.
This went right off.
So this week in TikTok, Josh, what you got for us?
Oh, man.
Two good things. probably the most popular
sound i've seen used right now is the like it's it's weird to like explain because it's like this
little kid voice being like i like you have a cupcake i like you have a cupcake and then i like
you but it's people just like sharing their likes and dislikes and then like very creative.
Worth exploring.
Okay.
Like it with like, I don't know, people have used it for everything so far.
And then the thing that's terrified me and also made me laugh a lot is this.
There's this one guy who has like, he's got like 8 million followers or something.
And all he does is just read.
He's got like 8 million followers or something.
And all he does is just read.
He green screens himself with like a tweet.
And it's just like not a funny tweet.
It's just like a relatable thing. It's like things everyone does.
And he's in there like check under the bed,
like before getting like for check for monsters under the bed before you get,
go to sleep.
And he's like laughing like so hard.
He's like,
ha ha ha.
That's so real and like but he just
has all these followers and all these likes and people have started duetting him with the most
terrifying like pictures there'll be like a pig like that's in black and white with like devil
horns or something and they're like the voiceovers were like benjamin turn on the duets or i will
find you and i will kill you.
And it's like super threatening.
And some of them are like really.
But like for a while, my page was like all these videos and like every three videos was someone duetting him, like being like, you must stop this nonsense right now.
I love it.
Do you think we could start a tick tock trend with on friday
the 13th i think we could sure let's do it do it everyone copy this sound that's 28 for you
i'm numb inside right now i'm just desensitized you're more dead inside than you were before
that's right i had a windys croissant. I drank too much coffee.
I got scared a bunch of times.
I told a bunch of bad jokes.
I'm just here.
All right.
We're going to get to the official marketing and advertising news of the week.
This is the juicy stuff.
Yeah.
Who's ready?
Oh, yeah.
All right.
We're getting to it.
First, in the least shocking news in social media history,
TikTok has confirmed they're testing stories.
Finally, TikTok has a way for you to share short videos.
How else would you do it?
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
It's brilliant.
I know.
It's like, okay.
This is like, okay.
Yeah.
Like, isn't that what TikTok is?
Pretty much. Everything's turning into everything else now. Yeah. Every social isn't that what TikTok is? Pretty much.
Everything's turning into everything else now.
Every social media is going to be just one.
Well, Twitter just got rid of their fleets.
They're like, fuck it.
We can't fit in.
No one's doing it.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Instagram's held on to it.
Or not, excuse me.
LinkedIn is held on to stories.
I thought they would get rid of it because, you know, I use it like once every month.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess I could post there.
Oh, yeah.
But I forget about it.
LinkedIn is my least looked at ever social media.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Well, I guess you got a job.
You don't need to look at LinkedIn.
Why would you?
This is true.
Oh, man.
I get a lot.
I like how they're testing it.
I don't know.
You know what I mean?
That's not.
What are you doing at work today? We're testing stories. I don't know. You know what I mean? That's not. What are you doing at work today?
We're testing stories.
Barry, who knows what will happen?
There could be an explosion or something.
I know.
They're wearing goggles.
I don't even know where they're going to put it.
I mean, TikTok covers your whole screen with the video.
Yeah.
Yes.
Where's it going to go?
I don't know.
That's what they're testing.
You click on, hit like the picture
like kind of like on instagram the photo on your thing maybe is it gonna be like five second videos
like probably yeah how interesting can you be in one second one second video hey
it's the exact same as the tiktoks but you have to cherish them because you can never go back and see it again.
They're Snapchat now too.
Everything is everything. Can anyone pronounce the name of that kind of a comment?
Epidermal.
You know what I'm talking about.
Yes.
That's what I'm going to name him.
Epidermal.
It's disappearing content, but it has a true name, and I'm butchering the hell out of it.
I've never heard that.
You know what I'm talking about, right, Josh?
Yeah, I do.
I'm not making this up, Emma.
No, you're not.
You can be honest.
It's one of those words that I have a whole vocabulary of words that I have never heard said out loud.
I've only seen it.
Just read it.
You've read it.
Read it in your mind.
But then you just mumble over it.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know the the content like yeah i'm an expert in that uh just plays over it do you get that you okay i don't i don't know where i am anymore i'm hallucinating between that and the
xanax you should have taken one more saturday the 14th is International Hospital Day for Joey.
Yeah.
International Stomach Pump Day.
So this is actually my mostest,
favoritest news of the week.
Dude, that was bad English, bro.
Sorry, it's the Radcast.
Hey, hey, hey.
Be careful.
I gave you an amen.
Hey, Pepsi and Boston Beer are partnering to make hard Mountain Dew.
Like Viagra Mountain Dew?
Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Mike, it's hard Mountain Dew.
So not Viagra.
It does not give you.
Mountain Dew does that to me anyway.
I can't drink it.
Soft drink, more like a hard drink.
Nice. There you go. Wow. Mountain don't drink it. Soft drink, more like a hard drink. Nice.
There you go.
Mountain, don't do that.
You know what I mean?
Man, this is close to a redneck margarita,
which is just tequila and Mountain Dew.
Wasn't Mountain Dew originally made?
Isn't there something about how it was originally made
to mix with moonshine or something like that?
Yes.
So that's the.
Okay.
It makes sense to me.
I'm going to have one.
I'm going to have one.
Oh, yeah.
Probably the only one.
I'd have one right now.
Yeah.
I'll have one case.
Yeah.
Turns your mouth.
One of those and like 11 ultras or something.
Sure.
Mix them together in a bucket.
Yeah.
PJ.
It's a bucket. PJ.
In a bathtub.
Put some watermelons in there.
Be perfect.
The Michelin's will balance it out though.
Wait, okay, does it taste like, is it
supposed to taste more like liquor or like
you said Boston beers? It's hard
Mountain Dew. I think it's supposed to be like one of those
like a hard lemonade slash Mountain Dew. I think it's supposed to be like one of those, like a hard lemonade slash Mountain Dew.
Hey.
It's just funny that everything is hard,
like hard liquor.
Like hard Pepsi, hard Dr. Pepper.
Is everything just going to be hot injection?
The adult experience is just pure escapism.
Like anything we do now is just just in pursuit of getting drunk.
Let's go to the movies. What do you want to do? Get drunk.
Let's go to the football game. What do you want to do? Get drunk.
How can I take my mind off how depressing my life is?
I was about to say, you can tell things are going great
right now because
they're just adding alcohol to everything.
Hard milk.
Eggnog, I guess.
Fair enough.
Escapism. We live in a world of escapism yes we do and finally
amc says it will start accepting bitcoin slash dogecoin as payment dogecoin really some kind of
some kind of current cryptocurrency i laughed at that because i read an article that it opened with
yeah the majority of our shareholders love that, like love Bitcoin.
And it was like I was like flashback to earlier in the year with like all the AMC people like buying just like outrageous amounts of shares.
And like, yeah, the majority stakeholders, probably some like 20, like 21 year old and like, yeah, it's Daniel.
And if you got out
at the right time
you made money
if you didn't
it's all these
all these
these redditors

that's good
that's like all of it
going out
that's good
you don't want to have
flush
that's for sure
I gotta have full flush
no efficiency toilets here

list for some reason because i mean that's well over by now right yeah supposedly i don't know
i bought dogecoin yeah i still have it yeah well yeah i do too i cashed out a couple times i've
been i've been on the right side of of a couple of theirs really peaks yeah i i bought some uh with eos you know that one
yeah i didn't get that one i bought some of that one in it i've cashed out once
it's back to where it was so i also did you did you uh the shiba inu coin no i haven't got that
too i have like literally like seven million right now. Right now all I own is Ether. Not even.
Ether, which is pretty legit.
Kind of right behind Bitcoin.
Ether and Doge is the only thing I've held on to.
But XRP.
Guy at our office, Callan, he's a geek on all this stuff.
He knows way too much about it. And he's told us about XRP.
And I bought that pretty early and made some money.
I'm sitting on it, but it's going back.
It went down like everything else the last couple months,
but now it's gone up like 25% this week.
Ripple XRP.
Ripple, yeah.
To be clear, that Shiba Inu,
I didn't mean to make it sound like it was worth a penny.
It's like.0000002.
Do that classic.
This is not financial advice.
I have like 7 million of them.
It's like $5.
He saw Avengers 7 with a Shiba Inu coin. It's such a wild, wild west advice i have like seven million of them it's like five dollars he he saw avengers seven with
a shiba inu coin yeah but that's it's such a wild wild west because like you can buy it at point zero
zero one and if it goes to a penny you can make like you know yeah thousand dollars on five dollars
like it's like crazy yeah or you know a lot more if you put in a thousand or you buy it and it
shits the bed and then you lose all the money i I know. But that's why you put in as much.
It's gambling.
Let's be clear.
This is not investing.
This is gambling.
Yeah, I put in a couple thousand on a few
and did all right.
Let's just say that.
You don't want to do more than you're comfortable losing.
Exactly.
This is true.
That's the disclaimer.
That's what my bookie told me.
Also known as
my uh is my uh robin hood uh associate it is it is basically gambling though right like yeah oh it
went up why y'all i thought it was interesting when i got an email it said bookie at robinhood.com
i thought that's just a you know yeah that's weird oh my god investment platform owning it
planet money has a great like whoever the guy the guy who runs their TikTok account is brilliant,
but he made a TikTok on like stocks and like crypto and stuff.
And he was like, so yeah, stocks are like a really great way to like invest in things.
Like it's really stable.
Like it just like promotes growth and you can tell what's going on.
And someone was like, I'm going to buy a thousand of these, of this.
Cause that, cause the, the ticker symbols.
But the next guy was like, I'm going to buy a thousand because of this guy.
Cause he likes it.
And the next guy was like, yeah, I want to do that too.
And the guy was like, wait, wait, you're not supposed to do it like that.
You're supposed to do it on like companies you trust.
He's like, I like the name, but he's's like and he was like oh man this doesn't work
it's fun it's a great good description of what happens early in the year i don't participate
but just hearing you guys the diversity of the currency the names like xrp that sounds like a
type of jaguar car or like ether that sounds like it's pretty hard it sounds like plasma or some
bodily fluid i mean and then all this dog stuff.
It's like for babies, right?
It's all very silly.
You're a baby.
I was a baby.
Yes.
I will be when my Benjamin button sets in.
I think I'm going to make a crypto coin.
I call it the rad coin.
I mean, why not?
Why not?
Yeah.
Everyone else is doing it.
You guys want to get on it?
Yeah, absolutely.
Get on the ground floor.
I'll sell it to you for a dollar a coin.
All right,.001. Okay. But you got to get on it? Yeah, absolutely. Get on the ground floor. I'll sell it to you for a dollar a coin. All right,.001.
Okay.
But you got to buy at least $20,000 worth.
Yikes.
So that I can invest in making it.
So you can take a class to figure out how to do that.
Yeah.
We're going to mine it in here.
We're just going to dig right through the bottom of the floor.
Sure.
Literally the ground floor.
Yeah.
I don't understand how it all works i mean
i mean they're not smart enough but it's like blockchain i understand like in theory but like
it's all a bunch of bullshit yeah i don't know someone listening it's not bullshit it's the
future of currency whatever that's the gambling aspect though you're like i did a couple dollars
yeah i don't get it at all. It's like betting on cricket.
I don't understand how it works, but...
When smarter people than me that I trust tell me to buy something, I will buy it.
Sure.
Tell them to buy something right now.
She bet you knew.
Wait, so now this is financial advice?
