Starting point is 00:02:20 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
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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
Starting point is 00:03:54 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.
Starting point is 00:04:17 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:02 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
Starting point is 00:05:24 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.
Starting point is 00:05:53 He's back with a vengeance. Sounds gritty. We've had a good week at Radical. The Radcast is picking up steam. We had
Starting point is 00:06:02 Spencer Pratt. His episode launches next week from the Hills. Yep. You guys watch the Hills. You guys Hills fans. Hills have eyes. Yay.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Yeah. Pretty hot. For sure. Yeah. I like that. Lauren Conrad. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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.
Starting point is 00:06:40 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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...
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 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.
Starting point is 00:07:49 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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,
Starting point is 00:08:25 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?
Starting point is 00:08:41 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.
Starting point is 00:08:59 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...
Starting point is 00:09:29 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,
Starting point is 00:09:46 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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?
Starting point is 00:10:30 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.
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:55 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.
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:20 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?
Starting point is 00:11:41 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.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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?
Starting point is 00:12:50 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.
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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?
Starting point is 00:13:54 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.
Starting point is 00:14:08 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
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:08 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.
Starting point is 00:16:15 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,
Starting point is 00:16:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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.
Starting point is 00:17:09 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?
Starting point is 00:17:23 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.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:13 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
Starting point is 00:18:32 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:20:02 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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?
Starting point is 00:20:37 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?
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:59 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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.
Starting point is 00:22:48 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:30 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.

Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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

Starting point is 00:26:10 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.
Starting point is 00:26:36 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,
Starting point is 00:26:54 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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
Starting point is 00:27:34 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

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.
Starting point is 00:28:22 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
Starting point is 00:28:45 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.
Starting point is 00:29:10 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.

Starting point is 00:29:44 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.
