Weekly Marketing and Advertising News: E-commerce Data, SXSW Integration and Virtual Events, Clubhouse Creators First, and Roblox Goes Public

 You're listening to the latest Radcast news update.
 Here's Ryan and Riley.
 Hey guys, what's up?
 Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast.
 Advertising and marketing news.
 It's Friday, March 19th, 2021, and we're excited to be here.
 I'm joined as usual by my co-host and the Ubra Dubba Supa producer of the Radcast.
 I was wondering though.
 I was like, Riley Clark.
 Is that the best introduction you've ever gotten?
 I was saying it wasn't a pretty great introduction.
 It was nice to know.
 I was making up words there, I think.
 Yeah, no, that's nice.
 Photo appropriate.
 No, I appreciate it.
 Yeah.
 How was your day going?
 Look at us all branded, though, by the way.
 Hey, I know.
 If you're watching the video, you can just imagine it if it's the audio you're listening to.
 Oh, yeah.
 We're brained.
 I got T-shirt gear on, make advertising great again, and then our lovely wart that Riley
 put together is really up in the vibe here in the Radcast studio.
 Absolutely.
 Yeah, no, it's fine.
 If you see it on the video version, you will see a little bit of the outside view of
 the studio as well.
 So it's a cool little vibe, but it's been a good week in St. Patrick's' this week,
 so we know we're living it up, and the best way is obviously in keeping everything
 responsible and fun.
 Q, we had a playlist playing on St. Patrick's Day in the office.
 I was like, Q, the bagpipes, like, oh, I think that's Scottish, like there was bagpipes
 playing all day.
 But we had our, hopefully, had some green beer, I can't remember.
 But we'll see.
 Yeah, no, exactly.
 Guinness.
 All the Guinness.
 I do remember being in, I lived in Chicago where I say that it was like a nine month work
 live type situation right out of college, and I say I live there, but I guess it was kind
 of a, as I stayed there more than I stayed anywhere else for a nine months, but they would
 turn the river green.
 I've always wanted to go to Chicago.
 That was pretty cool.
 That was pretty cool.
 The coolest St. Patrick's Day I experienced, I think I had was a couple years ago, I was
 in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day when I was studying abroad over there, and it, that
 I mean, yeah, that was what you can imagine it was, it was, it was pretty fun.
 A little throw down.
 Exactly, exactly.
 A little big throw down.
 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 But what about you traveling?
 Traveling?
 Traveling, yeah.
 So if you're listening to this, wherever you are, wherever you might be, if it is the
 weekend that we released it being, you know, today, Friday, for you, or Saturday or
 Sunday, or even Monday, I will be having a beverage on a Mexican beach somewhere to
 be undetermined and unnamed because I don't only want to showing up there, if you so choose
 to come raid Mexico with me, but I will be sipping on a, by the time, if you're listening
 to this, like when it's first available, I am probably on a beach having a margarita
 for.
 Oh, yeah.
 Taking the family.
 All the kids though.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Some lightened in, in doles a bit, but all in the kid-friendly confines of the resort
 that we're staying in.
 My favorite joke about this throughout the week that, you know, we've been, this has
 been leading up, you know, everyone, you're like, oh, I'm taking the boys and, you know,
 the family down to Mexico and we're all like, but are you bringing them back?
 Like, is this, is this happening?
 Yeah.
 We thought about deporting them, but no, they're, this is the first, this is the first,
 we have four boys and we have a blend family, we're the modern Brady bunch, but we do have
 them all just about half the time or more.
 So we're, it's not an every weekend thing or every other weekend thing, we've got more,
 we have them more than we don't, but this is our first international, getaway with
 family.
 Oh.
 Passports.
 Nash has got his passport.
 He's four.
 He's so cute.
 He's four, nine, nine and eleven.
 So yeah, we got the passported up and that's exciting.
 We are in Mexico as you are listening to this.
 That's awesome.
 That's awesome.
 That's going to be super fun.
 What's been going on around the agency, anything that we're the, and yeah, just, we,
 you know, sidebar, it's related to the agency, but we're having a great debate on our patio
 furniture and it's really weighing on my mind, you know.
 It's, we have this large, gigantic patio and we've had a couple of incidences that make
 us, you know, want to think about the way we, because we're positioned downtown, lovely
 downtown Greenville, South Carolina, today's podcast brought to you by the city of Greenville.
 But the outside patio right on the swamp rabbit trail.
 And so it gets a lot of traffic, a lot of foot traffic, but we're thinking through
 that.
 So that's been on my mind.
 That's somewhat agency news related.
 So if you don't have any large bulky patio furniture and you want to message us on the,
 the netherworlds online, please do send us your patio furniture.
 Exactly.
 Ideas.
 William, I sponsor you on the show.
 Exactly.
 Yeah.
 Put your name on a stool or something.
 Thanks so much for giving us this furniture.
 So that's not the most of, maybe, important of things, but it's been as, it's been on your
 mind.
 And because like, you know, I strive to make this a great place to work.
 We do have a co-work space.
 And I want our people to be using, because it's getting beautiful outside, but getting,
 to use all of the benefits of our space.
 So really trying to nail down some, some lovely outdoor gear and, you know, but things have
 been busy, things have been good.
 I, you know, I, I didn't watch the other night, just like a large number of other people,
 the Grammys.
 So, did you see anything advertised for the Grammys?
 Did you see anything on Instagram, anything on TikTok, because I saw nothing about it.
 And then the next morning, it was like everyone got a Grammy and I was like, I think
 that you were only promoting it on linear TV and no one is watching linear TV.
 Did you talk about, do you have an opinion on that?
 I don't know.
 Well, you know, it would be one of the 2021 trends we talked about in December.
 It says, mass media is dead or dying.
 I swit, you know, I, I posted on LinkedIn earlier, I at least patted myself on the back.
 I thought it was funny, but I said, you know, it's nothing's fading faster than a bad
 haircut than, then, then linear TV.
 Oh, okay.
 I'll go like it.
 All right.
 I didn't see it.
 I didn't get on the camera.
 Yeah.
 So, uh, but yes, linear TV and they dropped 50, rating is 53% down and look, this is a
 genie that's not going back in the bottle linear TV mass marketing is fading fast.
 And so if they, they didn't promote it enough on social because it didn't hit my radar
 and I'm on social all day.
 And so, you know, and I don't know the, you know, you never got promoted.
 I don't know.
 I might would have at least turned it there was even on my periphery, but I'm saying,
 I didn't even know it was like remotely in the time frame, Grammys would have happened.
 And then lo and behold, the next morning, I'm just seeing it on Instagram and I'm like,
 is this last year's, I'm like, is this last year's like repurposing photos because it
 was so off my radar.
 Yeah.
 But you can go back and watch it on, you know, YouTube, YouTube or something like the quick
 version.
 Exactly.
 I just get the highlights.
 Yeah.
 So, uh, you know, but that was, that hit my radar just purely from the standpoint of validation
 of I solved it.
 I saw the news net that just said Grammys down 53% and I was like, Oh, there were Grammys
 this week.
 And then I went, Oh, yeah, no wonder it's just crushing TV because look, their last hope
 was live events sports, Super Bowl, which was down like since it's worse ratings in 15
 years.
 Um, so when the live events start going, this is like falling off the cliff.
 Yeah.
 And, and go figure, you know, like, I gotta binge watch me some, you know, Netflix, you
 know, like, I got time for no lives, though, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, sorry,
 go Tigers, Climpsons football, Climpsons basketball, NCAA tournament is this weekend.
 Start.
 And I'll be in makeup watching, you know, right now I'm watching my bracket get busted by
 some five seed, beating my 12 seed, it happens every time.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 You're a bracket person.
 I need to fill out mine because I just want the VV to do well.
 I just want them to do well, you know, but we'll, um, we'll see where they go.
 Yes.
 I'm, um, I am.
 I saw them on your bracket.
 Yes.
 Were they on your bracket?
 Oh, yeah.
 Yeah.
 You don't sound too happy about it.
 Yeah.
 Talk about later.
 Talk about later.
 No.
 We'll see.
 What's your opinion of Mike, you know, when a game or two, they always do, hey, Bob Huggins,
 Bob Huggins.
 Yeah.
 Bob Huggins.
 He'll have a coach.
 They always do.
 It's like them and Michigan State, like, they're good for two wins every tournament or something.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 They both play good defense.
 I think that's part of it.
 But hopefully my Tigers can get by.
 Not in your pride, man.
 Good.
 Oh.
 Climpsons playing Rutgers.
 You know, look, Climpsons is the only seed.
 The lower seed that is not favored to win their game against a higher seed.
 I'm like, what is this mean?
 Are we going to get killed?
 What?
 This is when you want the magic ball and you're like, what's going to happen?
 That probably means we're going to win.
 Like, you know, it goes against the, against the grain.
 Then we get to play Houston if they win.
 Oh, there you go.
 And they're like 24 and two or something.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Big, big L.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 And you know, fair weather basketball fan that I am.
 I'm a, I'm an all day, every day football plan.
 And that was before we were good, by the way.
 We were not very good in the middle 90s, early 2000s.
 I mean, we're okay.
 We had at least moments, but it was like, you know, eight and three was a great year.
 I was a huge fan then.
 Yeah.
 This is not a fair weather.
 I graduated from Climpsons.
 So I would ride and die.
 High, low, whatever, Climpsons football.
 I love all Climpsons sports.
 I just don't have the time.
 I kind of, I can't focus like year round and like five sports.
 I don't know.
 I just can't in my attention on basketball.
 It's just waning because it seems like I'm doing a million things when basketball
 see this around other than the tournament.
 So we'll see how it goes.
 Hopefully that bracket.
 Turn out any other big news from you from the agency or otherwise.
 Not yet, but this will be a good segue into a little bit of the news topics for today.
 We have a really cool guest that will be featured on Tuesday's episode, Jan Bednar.
 And he is a CEO and founder of a company called Chipmunk.
 And it's so cute.
 Yes, you heard it right.
 Chipmunk.
 Chipmunk.
 Yep.
 And you have a little monk as your, you know, mascot and it's super cool, super cute.
 And also obviously doing very well.
 It's not just a cute company.
 I probably shouldn't say like that.
 It's a very well established, doing awesome things company e-commerce.
 You all had a great conversation.
 Yeah.
 So definitely check that out on Tuesday.
 Jan was great.
 He's done amazing things.
 He's pivoted.
 He's done different things.
 But he supplies the e-commerce world with turnkey fulfillment.
 The hardest thing about e-commerce.
 Everybody thinks it's a lot of things, but it's actually getting the product into people's hands.
 You got a great product.
 You got branding.
 You created the website.
 And you start selling stuff and you got to actually fulfill ship and get that thing there.
 So you don't blow it all up.
 So he's, uh, Chipmunk is, is that and it was a really fascinating discussion.
 So definitely be able to look out for our Tuesday release.
 But officially here's Riley with the news.
 Here is the Radcast News.
 Okay.
 The first topic for today, again, feeding off of the e-commerce thing.
 Did you know that 2020 was like a huge year for e-commerce?
 If you didn't know that, then you've been living under a rock.
 But here's super cool news about the first two months of 2021.
 We are already at $121 billion online shopping.
 34% year-over-year growth is that that's what it's showing right now.
 And this is as a result of by now pay later options.
 You have, you know, your chlorina, you have Visa after pay, all these after pay things.
 And hello, this is what we've been talking about.
 Go off Ryan.
 I know you have thought.
 Well, look, you know, as I told some of the clients we work with now two years ago or three years ago,
 whenever they want, if we want to get that technical about it, you know,
 you needed to be building e-commerce.
 No, I did not.
 A global pandemic was going to escalate at seven years.
 But this was coming no matter what.
 Right.
 This is kind of like, you know, you see the freight train, like coming down the tracks.
 It's still a couple miles away, but you're like, I'm good.
 I'm just going to stick on these tracks.
 And they hope that train doesn't run me over.
 It's coming folks.
 And now people are getting run over or to he advantage.
 You know, it's really no, this is really just commerce.
 You know, this is how stuff is getting bought and sold now.
 It's becoming the main stream.
 You know, it grew in seven years over the one year of last year.
 You know, the seven year average, what they anticipated in that one year.
 And, you know, you've created muscle memory now with people that this is how they shop.
 You're seeing it now, like toilet paper, stuff that was just a sacred cow that was never going to be body commerce.
 I'm never going to buy toilet paper or aspirin or everyday items.
 Those things are now in play.
 And by 2022, we're talking about one trillion dollars.
 That is the estimate for how much sales are going to happen in e-commerce by 2022.
 And so this is all part of, you know, trends and things that we're talking about.
 But this is just now how you need to be thinking about building your business both online and offline.
 And the implications because there's implications for both.
 And so not a surprise, but it is interesting that the topic you brought up, the buy now, pay later.
 And that's back to, again, these are things that were offered in store and retail before.
 Because you've had credit cards and everything like that.
 You've had to lay away.
 You've had like, these are now the traits and the opportunities of how these things are being translated into digital.
 You know, they're now, you know, like Klan and others that are just booming.
 You know, and you've had this uncertainty.
 So people are really taking advantage of that and not sure like they know they're going to bounce back.
 But their next six months are a little in flux.
 But I still really want this nice wallet or whatever.
 Or whatever.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 So you got this in flux of things and just it's an exciting time to be in e-commerce.
 It really is.
 And it's cool to just be in digital the digital space itself.
 I mean, we're seeing the digital space really take off in a lot of ways, especially with NFTs and other things like these buy now, pay later, pay later.
 You know, we're in conversation with a guest that might be coming on and they have a similar kind of shopping, loyalty kind of deal.
 And you know, you're getting, you're optimizing what you're able to get digitally because of other options that are brought through the digital space.
 And how to increase your personal digital, you know, real estate or your own purchases or whatever it is.
 And there's just a lot more options now for you to, you know, go with digital.
 I mean, really, it's just there's like all these different paths and they are all merging at some point, you know, to give you the most the best option for you to expand whatever you're wanting digitally.
 And, you know, even the big players, CPG, like from M&Ms and candy bars to everything else that, you know, was so convenience driven, you know, they're all rapidly adopting and adapting their e-commerce strategies for direct to consumer.
 And I think, you know, you're going to just see things that you never expected to be sold online. I just think, you know, this thing that is think now that we've kind of gone over the hump of like, well, that's not possible or that doesn't work.
 You're going to see, I think, even more and more innovation in the space and I think a complete reimagining of industries from cars to insurance too.
 It's exactly right.
 Like, it's just, we aren't even scratching the surface. I think we're scratching the surface.
 You're not quite able to see through the window yet, you know, but it's coming.
 I'm seeing like the edges of a lot of that. I don't even see every bit of not some, you know, hypothesis, you know, Nostradamus or something, you know, but I do see and have seen these trends coming enough to know that you couldn't ignore them.
 And now it's just, you know, you know, liver die.
 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Yeah, you know, it's a business. Exactly. But I mean, basically, you need to figure out how to get on digital. And if you're not then, yeah, that train's coming.
 My worst, my worst training effects ever.
 I'll fill it in later. I'll put it in post. Yeah, it could be.
 So our next topic, obviously South by Southwest did not happen last year.
 And I think it's really interesting that we're talked a lot about streaming events. We talk a lot about, you know, optimizing how live streaming or other types of getting video content out there.
 South by Southwest is creating this virtual installation, also trying to figure out ways to bring the event home to the attendees.
 And, you know, you see some of the stuff that, you know, Austin, whether it's Austin Chronicles or whatever is like putting out about the pictures that, you know, they're going to be creating on these installations and things like that.
 It's really interesting, very digital. Like this just looks like some futuristic movie that we, you know, saw early 2000, you know what I mean?
 It's just crazy, but it's so cool to see this taking off and, you know, looking forward to seeing where this goes as a streaming platform, you know, streaming services like HBO Max and things like that too.
 Yeah, I mean, South by Southwest, it started like I remember it being in the industry as like this marketing and advertising and digital type thing like 1012 years ago, it kind of started in that it expanded quickly into arts and movies and, you know, kind of the whole media landscape.
 And so, you know, I'm going to give like a buy sell approach here, like buying this from the standpoint that I love it because it's opening up, you know, there were so many years, there was a lot of years where I couldn't get there.
 Like I went to a few of these wonderful, awesome events. I couldn't, years I couldn't get there. I would have loved to had this digital at home experience to bring it to life because it opens up the audience more.
 Or people can get involved more people could see what's going on real time and all that. So love it. And it's, it's brilliant. They're doing everything they can. I'm selling it because I'm just selling everything that's like virtual events now because I'm so ready for real events.
 And like it's more of a personal thing than a, and then I know the reality that we live in and I know why it's not so I'm not wishing for something that we're not ready for.
 It's more just personal like exhaustion of the virtual and wanting the real and the human and everything that comes with that and hoping for that and hoping that next year by at the very least some events like this can get back to not normal because again, I think they this is where there's not going back to normal.
 There are the ones that are adapting that are bringing in like what they're doing creating this virtual experience that they can carry on till next year. Yes, it's creating more work, but you're going to be able to open that audience you water so that I just can stay wide when you bring in your normal visiting come you have the money you have the resources or you have.
 You know other brands or other reasons to be there business development all those things you're coming in and in and creating that human environment but the digital is still there for you virtually for things that you might have missed while you were there or the people at home that you know couldn't have made the trip otherwise.
 And so again, you're not going to go back to normal because I think these virtual experiences are going to remain and I think the companies that really are going to be the ones that intermix these two things exactly no, I mean, I totally agree with you.
 It's something that I think as we're seeing I mean, we've seen this a lot already with collaboration from other companies and other industries coming together with other companies and other industries and we're seeing this virtual and digital collaboration take place and it's just going this way.
 I mean, we're saying this over and over again, but it just is and it's not going to go anywhere it might be increasing for other people to be able to be a part of other kinds of events still probably having real life, you know, people come in.
 Once we eventually get back to that point, but this isn't going to go anywhere and if anything you're going to be able to expand on this, I think in the real scent like eventually when it becomes live like back to real people to people of events that virtual aspect is going to be there somehow some way.
 You know, I really think but yeah, so it's cool, but I you know, I'm buying and selling it the only reason I'm selling is I'm just ready for some realness and virtual can only be so real right.
 I think I can put my you know goggles on and like walk in there and that's probably not far for all these.
 Yeah, my brain thinks I'm there. Maybe I'll be there.
 Yeah, exactly, exactly in the comfort of my own home that's like lounging on the couch. I'm really here.
 Oh, hey there, Will Smith.
 Well, you're in my life. It's crazy.
 Are they are are celebrities going to be a stuck up in the virtual space? Are they going to be really nice because they know that you're really not there with them.
 Deep thoughts.
 On the red cast news.
 If it's radical, we cover it.
 Exactly.
 Yeah, chew on that one and we can revisit it in 2027.
 Exactly.
 Exactly.
 I'm thinking about that now.
 Our next topic is I mean again, gosh clubhouse.
 Okay, so clubhouse is creating a user for user first creator first kind of experience.
 They're trying to give creator content.
 Basically, to me, when I read this, it sounded like Instagram influencers like all their credibility, all their the creators that you see on TikTok, things like that.
 They get like, they're verified and then they get finance.
 They're financially, you know, they're, let me say this different way.
 Clubhouse will then pay them to then create, right?
 And that's my understanding of it.
 And that's what it's kind of remind me of like TikTok creators and Instagram creators and other things like that, right?
 Yes.
 Okay.
 So think about clubhouse as a platform, as let's just say TV.
 It's TV.
 You need stations and content for your audience to keep coming to watch it.
 And so I got two thoughts on this one.
 I think I was always, we're going to go back and play this in a year when clubhouse is fizzled because I had my doubts.
 We can play back the tape because I've had them since the beginning.
 And I do not think in its current form clubhouse is going to be a big deal in a year.
 I think that it's a wonky experience.
 I think people are growing tired of it the way they get, they get tired of, of blab.
 It was, I think it's waning.
 I do not think this is a Facebook or an Instagram or a TikTok platform that's going to be like, is it in its current form?
 If it doesn't, if it doesn't pivot in a few different ways, I don't have all of those pivot recognition.
 I just think that tension wanes and that as more people have come on, the content is suffering.
 This is the first play because they're going to pay people because they know that it is attention's waning and the best creators are falling off.
 They need to pay them to stay on.
 And this is the first sign made where they can always do this.
 I don't know, but it's to me is a sign of that.
 And yes, some of the other platforms do it.
 But usually the brands are the ones that support the influencers and the content creators because they're promoting.
 And so I think you might start to see some of that.
 But I feel like it's just, it's not the discovery is bad.
 The hard to find what you really want to be or do on there.
 I've already seen the channels, the few that I get on and listen.
 It's like the quality versus even like two months ago.
 It's like everybody's hawking their book or their course or their training.
 And like there's there's definitely diamonds in the in the rough.
 So I'm not it's just yeah, I don't know.
 It's like it's I almost wish rooms had caps on them.
 Like you could only like 10 people max in a room.
 Yeah.
 Or you know, because I feel like so many people are getting in rooms and just want to control the conversation
 because they want to talk so bad and they want people to listen to them so bad.
 You give them the place to go on stage and no one's going to mute them.
 They're just going to go off about something completely off topic.
 And everyone because it's clubhouse, we all have to look, you know, oh, we're totally in on this, you know, whatever.
 And you're just going to continue this conversation and just go along with it.
 And it's like I get the professionalism.
 I get your we're all trying to be respectful of everyone's, you know, talking points.
 But at some point, like it just doesn't even feel like we're talking about the topic of the room anymore.
 But it also it also has a natural friction point.
 Get in.
 So I'm going to give you like a comparison.
 I asked you to do a little couple of questions here.
 Do we know do we know why one of the reasons and not not being because you have to pay for it.
 But like linear TV linear TV being content that you don't get to necessarily discover.
 It comes on at a time and this is when it is linear TV is dying because people want to choose what they watch when they watch it.
 Good.
 Good call.
 Yes.
 Clubhouse is exactly the opposite.
 It's it's, you know, people are creating shows and they're all at this time at this place at this location.
 It's linear, you know, in a lot of ways.
 It's not organic.
 Like I choose like I finally have some downtime and I can binge watch this show on my time my terms.
 Clubhouse is.
 I can get in this room when I want to get in this room and it's the antithesis of everything else that's trending.
 You know, so.
 That's a really interesting point.
 But I feel like the only thing it has going for right now is the is then like I mean we talk about attention is currency and like, you know, use the now.
 But it's like the only thing it has going for it is the live active viewing of it.
 But it's so dependent on other people joining one person's live.
 Yeah.
 It's messing up to your point.
 The trend of.
 The reason podcasts are so big is because people can choose to play the episodes when they have time to.
 And.
 This is live.
 This is so if you either miss it, you get it or you don't, you know, and.
 I just think it's fighting against some of the other things and they created this natural.
 Scarcity.
 This unnatural scarcity at the beginning.
 Oh, we're in beta.
 We're doing this.
 The invite.
 Brilliant.
 Brilliant.
 You know, creating scarcity drives attention.
 And as that's wearing out, more and more people getting in the content quality is going down.
 So you've got scarcity going away.
 You've got content quality going down.
 And you have this inverse of my content when I want it, how I want it of trends.
 And it's none of those things.
 Again, I appreciate the quality of the people that are still in the platform.
 I appreciate the time being spent on it.
 I'm not saying that it's dead as a door now.
 I'll stop sort of that.
 I just think there's just these all these factors in play that are going to make it very difficult
 in its current form to survive over the next 12 day team.
 It's a good point.
 It's a good point.
 We're obviously going to be following it here clearly.
 We'll see.
 And I don't do that.
 I don't do that to say.
 Oh, at all.
 I'm not.
 I'm not saying that like drawing this line of the sand.
 I'm doing it more because that's why I.
 It first was like, all right, let's do this and put some apples in that cart.
 And I'm just telling people explore it.
 Taste it.
 But you may or may not like how it tastes.
 And you may not be eating it in a year.
 So don't don't over.
 You know, use it as a is another channel.
 But I'd be careful with going to all of your eggs in one basket.
 Yeah.
 No, I make total sense.
 Yeah.
 Our last topic for today.
 I just think this is so intriguing to me.
 Roblox is going public.
 Okay.
 Okay.
 I knew it was around this day.
 I tried to buy it for 40 bucks.
 I'm shocked considering it's like $80.
 It's like $80 would be like all of it.
 Aren't they like all over Roblox?
 All over it.
 I was going to say it has 40.
 It has it has one of those 41 billion valuations because of the offered family.
 Seriously, like the trend of the buying.
 I've babysat kids and like they use this app all the time.
 And I'm just like, oh my gosh.
 The only reason why this company has done what it's done is because it's like kids using their kids.
 Their parents credit cards and stuff.
 Oh, God.
 Yeah, skins and all my stuff and swords and like it's the weirdest game.
 I will say that there's all these little mini games within the game.
 Like I've sit here and watch my kids play.
 Yeah.
 Like I picked up on, you know, Minecraft and insert game here.
 Like I pick up on the promise.
 You know, I love me some.
 Oh, shit.
 What's the name of the game?
 I'm forgetting it with my little race car.
 The thing blows up all things in a second.
 Oh, um, you know, I'm talking about a mind freezing.
 My, my, yes.
 Yes.
 You know I'm talking about cars running around.
 You're trying to shoot each other.
 What is it?
 What is it?
 No, you're shooting like soccer.
 You try to get the ball in.
 Rocket League.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Rocket League.
 And I was just in another tangent there.
 And I think it was the Rocket League and Roblox throwing me off.
 But anyway, Rocket League.
 I get it.
 I got it.
 I was like, this is cool.
 I got to shoot a play on this.
 And, but man, it's some weird little games on Roblox.
 It's like, it's like these miniature guys.
 Like, because creators can create games and, and sign up and get paid for different things.
 And they're just some, you know, like dudes in Egypt coming out carrying stuff in.
 You're trying to make sure you shoot all the guys before they come at you.
 Like, there's like the strangest games.
 And it's like, I'm like, what are you?
 And every other time that there was a football game, the simulation football game on Roblox.
 And I'm like, we got Madden.
 And it's like awesome.
 And we got these little like, you know, 2D guys.
 And they're like, they're playing it for an hour.
 And I'm like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
 But they love it.
 But get this.
 If you miss the number, $41 billion valuation.
 Yeah.
 Now, I believe it because I think we, the offered families is maybe not a billion.
 That's a joke.
 But we've, they've, every time they get a gift card, they're loading it up.
 And like, it's $5, $10, $20 Apple, or whatever, or Microsoft gift card.
 They're loading that thing up.
 And it's going towards skins.
 Or characters or whatever.
 And so, and again, we talked about this, but kids are putting a lot of value in these digital assets.
 Yes.
 The whole in FTs and all that.
 All of it.
 Yes.
 It's all part of that.
 That's why they got the valuation.
 I tried to buy it for $45 and it went up to like 80 and, you know, like a flink of blink of an eye, like a week.
 I'm so I still think I'd be buying it anything under $100.
 You know, this is a, here's your stock, stock tip of the week on the red cast and is by Roblox.
 Yeah.
 It's going to be $200, $300 stock.
 Yeah, I just got my stimulus check.
 Roblox.
 Bye.
 You're going to see some fluctuations like any of these things do, but $150 by summer.
 That's my guess.
 Yeah.
 So yeah, but it does not surprise me at all.
 Well, that's it on the red cast crazy, crazy topics.
 And if you didn't catch the theme, I think it's digital.
 I think we're talking about a lot of different stuff.
 I think I'd be my guess.
 The interwebs.
 The internet.
 WWW.
 Oh gosh.
 Well, that's all internet base.
 It's all Wi-Fi internet.
 No, everything you can do because of the connection in your pocket.
 That's crazy.
 But yes, it's, it's definitely here there and everywhere.
