     They're just going straight meta, 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. 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 use for something no but like doing like a surgery on
     the battlefield or something. And now it's time for the Red House with William Alpour.
     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 Hammer. 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 you know, certain team won the other night. Who was that, Ryan?
     Let it play. Let it sink in. The Atlanta Braves are your 2021 World Series champions.
     World Series champions. Yes. I had to get the chop in. Yeah, of course. Yeah.
     It was a great series for the Braves. Yeah. I don't know. 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.
     Coming from a good place. It is coming from a good place. Right there.
     So I feel good about the Braves, one in the World Series. We talked about this little anti-climatic
     ass kicking. Yeah, that was not a great, not a great game six for the Astros. It wasn't great.
     It was great for the Braves. It was just like, I felt like the heart of the city fell to the floor
     when Salar hit that home run that's still in the air. Yeah, I think it's still flying. I think I
     saw it go by the window rolled into our place and then it's went back in the air. It was hit so
     hard. It regenerated the flight. I was never hit somebody. It's anyone hit the ball so hard.
     That was great. Like we said earlier, like the moment he hit it. Yeah, he said he didn't look at
     the ball. He's just like, yep, that's gone. They showed the pitcher in his face of just disappointment.
     He knew 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 that was a momentum switch at
     the very least. It was. So congrats to the Atlanta Braves, your 2021 World Series champions.
     Had a good good week here at the agency. We had a podcast on Tuesday with the CMO of WebEx
     by Cisco. Really? Pretty big deal. I we I use that. Yeah, Aruna Riva Shondron.
     That's the fact that I've said her name. Okay. Aruna Riva Shondron. 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 frigging CMO of one of the largest companies in the US. 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 smarter than Spencer. I don't know. Come on. Spencer is
     pretty smart. Come on. I just told him you said that. Ryan. We'll talk about it later. Yeah,
     we'll talk about it later. And then next week, the second smartest guy I know who's actually a client.
     So 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
     vice president of marketing and branding at ultra fabrics. And we talked about, you know how you've
     been seeing the values of the company and kind of the company's purpose become more into the marketing
     realm. Sure. 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 realities of that, the challenges of that and just a really smart discussion
     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 are mad about. Can you? Everything's everybody's on the same page. It seems like to me.
     Yes. I or not. Not at all. Nothing. Literally. There's no divide at all. Yeah. No. Yeah. No
     split down the middle. Let's talk vaccine. Let's talk. It's any number of things. Yes. In fact,
     let's not do that. Let's not. We're going to we've promised to not talk about that on the podcast.
     Do 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. Right? I mean, yeah. Yeah, entirely. I'm tired
     of it. I'm tired of it. Yeah. I stopped watching the news. Yeah. You know, other than researching
     these these episodes. Right. But it's marketing news instead of bad news, bad news,
     news, bears. Yep. But in some more reported 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
     they like savings ends. Wow. 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
     timeless. Yeah. They are timeless. But Saturday is fall back. Fall back. You gain an hour of
     sleep. So gain an hour sleep. Or you say up an hour later. So how you want to look at it? Let
     me because I get confused about this. Number one, that is my wife's birthday Saturday.
     Happy birthday, Carrie. November 7th. November 7th. It's great day for her. Yeah. So no one else.
     No, my kids probably have they probably are glad that they have a happy birthday, Carrie.
     I don't want to hear that. Oh, sorry. Yeah. It's like you're you're her Marilyn Monroe to
     her. I mean, my singing is pretty good. It is. Well, pretty good. Understand. You know, it's kind
     of like a voice of an angel. Yeah. A big did you see a unicorn? A unicorn and stepbrothers.
     I think I was tall. You're hard. Oh, yeah. So real quick, my question. Yes. Does that mean it's
     lighter in the it's dark when you get up, but it's lighter during the day. Like it's lighter later.
     No, it's just dark at like five o'clock. It's the opposite. They like savings and I have no
     idea of the ration after the terminology, but we, uh, we're going to have a lot less light at night
     and more than morning though. So 6.30 a.m. It'll be nice and sunny. Just like you want it. Yeah.
     Why why you hit this when you hit the snooze button for the four time, but the necessary,
     the sun's beaming through. Beaming through. Yeah. Yeah. But you do wear that sleep mask. I wear
     several. Yeah. I wear actually wear a hood of latex hood. But we're on the mountain. I like plastic
     crap. Yeah. I was like, that can be dangerous. I tie a plastic bag around my. It hasn't nothing
     bad's happened yet. Yeah. No. PS disclaimer. Don't do that. No, no, please don't do that.
     All right. I'm looking forward to it being dark at 445. But you know what you get to celebrate
     the next day with that extra hours, hour of sleep. What's up?
     National cappuccino day. No shit. On Sunday.
     Well, you can have an extra class. Oh, you get extra sleep and two glasses of cappuccino
     and you're good. Are you a cappuccino guy? Absolutely not. Perfect. I don't. I have, uh, my
     cappuccino is known as, uh, Red Bull. Red Bull, sure. I don't know. I don't drink coffee really.
     No, I don't either. I like it, but I preferred energy drink. It's just quicker to the point.
     Like it's the same thing. You know, it's caffeine. What about five hour energy? No, it's a lot.
     It's a lot. Yeah. I can get, I can get messy. Yeah. I like to at least balance it out of
     room to sit 12 ounces or 16 ounces or, sure, whatever it is. I've had five today. That's what I'm
     shaking. You are very dirty. I drank a bunch of chamomile tea. So I'm the opposite. I'm just like
     really laid back, bro. Just laid back. I didn't, I didn't drink no tea. Now you didn't.
     And, uh, Monday is stem day. 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. Nice work. Uh, stem day is in my wife's,
     this is the principal to middle school. So, sure. I should know a lot about stem. I bet you don't.
     I don't. Perfect. Uh, uh, uh, uh, unless the M is marketing and it's not. It's not. It should be.
     Yeah. It's social technology, social media, technology, energy and marketing, energy and
     marketing stem stem. Copyright that real quick. I just tick. Can we 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. So important. So important. These are important. Number one. We're getting
     meta folks. We talked about it a couple of 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 the 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 bandaid of, of the metaverse, the meta of the metaverse, Xerox. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know.
     There's a lot of stuff out there. Talk that it's all cover up to try to distract
     from the bigger issues Facebook's been having. Yeah. I would, I could see Zuckerberg's not a
     Zuckerberg. Hey, I like it. 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 it? Facebook's like, we're just going to
     fuck up the real world as much as possible. Now we're just going to create the meta world.
     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, right? So you're really, you know,
     it wasted some money. Somebody from Facebook's listen, this is like, oh, shit. He's right.
     Look at that. Yes. Uh, so I don't know. We'll see how it happens. But I do think it's a good
     time to refrain and, and think about, you know, one of our good friends.
     And now it's time for the Red Pass with William. Oh, thank you, Bruce. Thank you. Thank you.
     I mean, that's getting, you're getting mild down to that.
     You're sweet though. I would too. Yeah. 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. It's, I think we're like six. He had, we haven't even released his episode yet.
     And I've played that in every episode since he recorded it for us. Sure.
     And so I can't wait. It's, we were about two weeks away from his episode. It 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 dog. 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 in 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. I do. It is.
     But you're right. Teamwork makes the dream mark. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
     Thank you. So 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 like on your pictures and stuff. Yeah. So you're going to be able to use like,
     they're going to use like 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 bad. So like while you're in the store. No, through Facebook app. Okay. I
     was going to 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 this, the promise of all this stuff seemed like it was a lot greater than what's become
     reality of a augmented reality. You know, I mean, it's like, we use for something no, but like,
     like doing like a surgery on the battlefield or something. Yeah. Right. Or something like that.
     And here we have fucking Walmart Facebook filter Scott paper towel. I'm like, how I'm so excited. Hey,
     hey, look how Ryan looked at those cheesens. He really loves cheesens. Yes. He looked at those spicy
     Doritos and he was drooling. Which he actually, that's true. I would be. Yes. That's really good.
     I'll be saying that and thinking that. Yeah. Hallelujah. Like he's really triggered by the spicy
     Doritos. It's a little weird. He's got a tear in his eye. Weeping. Weeping. He's openly weeping.
     I don't understand what's happening. I don't know why he likes it so much.
     But, but I do. Yeah. So, uh, in the world of live streaming, uh, it's becoming huge. And
     Pinterest is debuting live stream shopping for what's what's aptly named Pinterest TV. Oh,
     okay. Wow. It could be a name. Yeah. I really thought long and hard at that. Pinterest TV.
     Pinterest TV. It did funny that we 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 going to call our live streaming Pinterest TV Apple TV. Right. And what's funny now is most
     TV is, uh, play shifted anyway, which means like you don't watch it live. Yeah. It's time shifted,
     play shifted. Yeah. And you watch it on your time. Right. So it's not necessarily live anyway.
     Listen, I watched TV on my time on my time, not your time. That's funny. I didn't know that
     term though. That's I'm going to use that. I'm going to sound a really smart later. Yeah,
     play shifting. I'm going to say that to my hey, we recorded that game. Uh, we could watch,
     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, the consumer, it's kind of like the reason podcasts are
     popular is because they don't, uh, they don't, you don't, you can consume them when you want to.
     Right. On demand. On demand. That's exactly what it is. I don't know if they would call it
     Pinterest on demand. You know, that's, but I guess they think live is associated with TV still.
     So why, or just Pinterest live, but just live would be fine.
     So, you know, call, call Joe Hammer. If you'd like a better naming commission,
     yeah, just a name for here. I'll put my number up. Don't put my number up next. Yeah. Yeah.
     Just throw it up. It's just went up. Yeah. Okay. Well, oh, that was your social security number.
     Yeah. Well, I got to go. Oops. I got to go close. Yeah. Get a credit profile.
     Check it. 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 funds.
     File that under it, but under in for no shit. 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, it was all this on Fox News. It's all true, right? I think so.
     I think if it's on CNN, it's false or vice versa, right? This is not a political statement.
     I'm just using this as like the judgment call, you know, right? It's talking to Tucker Carlson
     said it. It must be true. Oh, if Don Lemon said it, it must not be. Right. I mean, it's like,
     as it comes down to you, right? What sources do you believe? Yeah. Remember you used to be able to
     read like the newspaper or watch the news and just, and honestly, just be like, that's impartial
     reporting. I believe that because it's what happened. And it's hard to do now. It's hard to watch
     anything without like a little bit of a, hmm. That's podcast that I'm doing like a, you know,
     a weird look, which is not going to translate. But that's how I got more of a, hmm. Right.
     Yeah. That's good. That was that good. What the wall? You said what?
     Farley. We secretly replaced you son of a bitch. You did. That's one of the best
     ever. It is. I wish he was still around. Oh, that'd be good. You can have him on the
     red cast. Yeah. That's be good. Hallelujah. So, uh, okay. We're scrolling on now.
     The other Facebook news. They're going to, they're going to delete facial recognition data
     on more than a billion users. Okay. How are they choosing that? Uh, I don't know.
     Oh, 300 billion. Like 30 billion or something. Not even a real number. Yeah. It's a lot. Yeah.
     And what's scarier is it's fact that they had it. Right. Right. To eliminate you have to have it
     first. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's like everybody using, you know, open your phone with your face.
     Right. 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. Trust them now. Appreciate you.
     I trust them now. Oh, yeah. Oh, good. I'm not worthy of my trust. Yeah. I'm not screaming on
     that. Oh, there we go. I'm not sure. Yeah. Yeah. So we're just going to talk that one up and let
     let's 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 to people. It is. Call and put the number up next for the ice hot
     line that we're. Yeah. I've also got some life water. I'm going to show you. I'm going to call it
     Deathwater, which seems to be really popular now in the can. Yeah. He's in the can. Right. Deathwater
     or whatever. It seems like it wouldn't taste good out of the can. I mean, death usually does it.
     Yeah.
     Yeah. Not even trust nine person. The button is going to verbalize it now. That's fine. So
     the match group who owns Tinder and match and all the dating profiles is two married men. We
     would know very little about this. Mist out on it. Mist out. Well, I actually married my second
     life with through match. Did you? Yes. Nicole and I met on match and turned out to be better than
     the first. So maybe it does work. It must at least work a little bit. So I, so I missed out on
     that whole, that whole thing. I, you didn't miss much. No. I mean, like it was convenient. Sure.
     You know, it's time to go to a bar or get introduced to somebody or whatever. The most convenient
     life I've ever had. It's just so convenient. I got to shop online. It was like shopping. It was.
     It was like e-commerce before e-commerce. This is in 2012. And that's a many
     covers for 12, 12, obviously. But it was definitely shopping. That's hilarious. Shopping online.
     Shopping for a wide, a 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. I had to. Yeah. You
     got to do what you got to do. Yeah. They don't talk back as much over there. Really? I heard of the
     art. I don't know. But it's, it is funny. Like we're in high school, obviously college at
     the same time. None of that existed. And you had to go to a bar or a party or run into somebody
     on this or whatever. Yeah. Right. Work at the same place as 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. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't not do Tinder, but I would, but match. Yes. Sure.
     It's two different. It's different. That right? Yeah. Matches like kind of like a social profile,
     but for dating. Tinder is just like swiping. Like do you think? Who you want to be hot or 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 anyway. So
     they're, uh, we didn't even get to what the news article was. I love the whole point of
     what 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 rural world, what 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 and
     in a fake world. You don't even really see what someone looks like either, right? You know,
     I can make myself like a little beefier, a little hotter. You don't need to get any beefier.
     Hey, your beef cake 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. You think 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. Yeah. I knew she was gonna be as high
     as she was. Her avatar was just a mask. That's hilarious. That's supposed hilarious. She really
     lives in the ghetto in the metaverse. It's like I've ever heard. I got catfish to the metaverse.
     Because like, is there gonna be a hierarchy in the metaverse? Like, you're gonna have,
     you know, rich people in the, the billionaire metaverse and you're gonna have like people
     like where I live. They're not in the metaverse in the, uh, the billionaire house.
     They're across the meta train tracks on the, on the wrong side. Yeah. Yeah. I hope so.
     And that's how they got it. She said she was on this side of the tracks. Yeah.
     She really lived over there. I got catfish. That catfish to the metaverse. That's the saddest
     thing ever, maybe. That would be awesome. That would be. Yeah. I almost want to get catfish.
     I want to do some prank calling in the metaverse. Is it? I don't know. I want to.
     We used to do a bit of that. Oh, yes, we did. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right.
     We're jerky boys before they were jerky boys. Yeah. We're the hierarchy jerky boys.
     That was a metaverse. Yeah. Oh,
     calling Summer Maldon's mom.
     Remember that? Oh, I'm recalling the bunch of you. And I remember saying a lot of things to,
     today would be, yeah, you can't say of today. I can't say those things. We did a lot of
     things. Recorded it too. Recorded those tapes are out there somewhere. That's scary. That is
     a little scary, actually. I'm just by them with the smartphones. Think about that. That's
     how I'm scared. I was like, my kids screw smartphones. Yeah. If we'd had them,
     probably wouldn't have jobs right now. No, probably not. I mean, not because we did anything
     like, I don't know. I don't think it's illegal. It's 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. Yeah. Has that happened? Maybe. You'll never know. You'll never know.
     Right. Yeah. And I want to die bold. Sure. You would never tell me. I mean, no fewer than twice.
     I mean, right. Yeah. Sure. Theoretically. Theoretically. Theoretically. In the metaverse,
     I got drunk and fell over. Car jacked. 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. This is shame.
     Your avatar didn't make it very long. I would not know. I was drinking too much meta-fireball.
     That's the dumbest thing ever. We should start patting like terminology in the metaverse.
     That might be a good thing. Yeah. Can we do that? I think so. I think we just did. Nick,
     get the pat and all that back on the phone. Okay. Thank you very much. Pat and clerk slash.
     Yeah. Pretty sure. Pretty sure. Extraordinary. And finally, in very important news, Jay Z is finally
     on Instagram. Thank God. I just, you know, I mean, how long we've been waiting like a double. Yeah.
     Waiting for that. You know, you and I've been talking about for 20 years probably. Yeah.
     Our 20 minutes at least. Yeah. 20 seconds. Yeah. This was a hype beast article.
     Give hype beasts some credit. I do like high-paced. Do you get a high beast?
     Well, they're the shoe rankings and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know, I know you're shoe-ho,
     you know, shoe-ho, shoe-ho. You never wear. No, I have lots of pairs of shoes I never wear.
     That's the easiest 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, I don't get a pair of Jordans. 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.
     Yeah. Yeah. Those are nice. Yep. My son, we buy him new shoes and we just have to buy him
     more new shoes in like a week. This is fifth grad so fast.
     Ridiculous. Yeah. No. Kind of scared of that. But Nash is five. So they don't completely wear him out.
     We can hand them down. Good call. Yes. I could actually wear Owens.
     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, oh, and don't you really like these?
     Yeah. And then I don't have to have the like pain of like wearing new shoes and getting
     dirty. Because that's really what it's about. Yep. If I put on a pair of those Yeezies and I walked
     out and I was raining, that's a hard breaker. Yes, it is. But, uh, Jay sees on Instagram. Oh,
     shit. Yeah. I forgot. I forgot. How many followers did he get in the day? Like five million or
     something? Who knows? Yeah. 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 know. I wonder if there's any other celebrities
     that aren't on Instagram. I don't know. Kanye. Yeah. Yeah. Is on. He is. He is. He's definitely
     there. He's got 50 million followers. Pete Davidson. Uh, no. It's Kanye. Yeah. As far as Kim
     Kardashians concerned. Yeah. Oh, you heard that? Yeah. That's all right. I don't know. Are they
     together together? I don't know. It's very strange. It's friends. They're probably just friends.
     All celebrities now just friends. It's casual. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck buddies. Yeah. I heard it's casual.
     Probably cool. Kanye's gonna beat his ass. Even things that weren't cool. We were kids. What's up?
     Speaking of things that weren't cool. We were kids. Right. Right. That exact. Yeah. Exactly.
     No platonic. Anything. Nope. It's a waste of time. Any other good news from you this week?
     Uh, no. I'm in your world. I think I think I told you where I'm going to Vegas.
     Oh, nice. I'll stay in the Cosmopolitan on your recommendation.
     There's a sneaker boutique in there. Yes, sir. 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 part tool.
     Pricing is approaching. Yeah. Yeah.
     Joey, we're talking about some. There's some Jordans. Yeah. Yeah. Jordans.
     Easy. Really? But that maybe I'll buy a pair of Yeezy's there and that it won't be an
     investment because I already paid too much for them and then I can wear them. Yep.
     There you go. Something that works. You can get like, what's like a famous celebrity
     from Vegas that you get to sound? I guess the Vegas football teams are now.
     Secret and Roy. Yeah. Secret and Roy. One of them's dead.
     Or Hunter Renfra. He plays for the lost Vegas Raiders.
     I have him on my bench on my fantasy team. How's he doing?
     He's on the bench. Have a good year. Oh, yeah. I think so.
     For him, he's having a great year. He's not going to. He's not going to get all the
     cars. Yeah. He goes over the middle a lot. Yep. Love that guy. I know. He's so good.
     He does some ads. Yeah. They're not so great. They're not good.
     Yeah. I just have him like in the background or something. Catching a football.
     Yeah. Catching a football. Like going deep.
     Right. You know, yeah. Stalky deeper. Sell it cheaper.
     And he's going deeper. You don't have John daily on ads like shooting a basketball.
     Then there's a reason for that. Right. We're talking about it.
     No. He'd have a cigarette in his hand. Yeah.
     And like, who knows what else?
     Beer definitely. Beer. Yeah. And something else.
     Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you know what I'm saying.
     Potential. Just in the meta versa.
     He is the metaverse. He is the metaverse. He is a metaverse.
     In and of himself. I'm doing. Yeah. Cool. Man. We'll appreciate it.
