Weekly Marketing and Advertising News, November 12, 2021: Microsoft Teams Up with Meta

 I got to assume someone has gotten fired from a social media job because they like said happy veterinarians day or something like they probably for sure wrong vets guys wrong vets
 People think oh this that or the other about the military and politics and all that but hey your ass would be
 Grass if it wasn't for the military fighting for our freedoms. It's all Disney's fault from Cinderella from because these kids grow up watching these movies where there are princesses and have these huge weddings and now the wedding industry
 It's just what are you trying to copy copy just it'll be your social media profile picture for three years
 But if you're overweight and you want to avoid the weight loss programs
 I think you should probably should be watching, you know, you're asking you to get off Facebook and get in the gym
 That's probably why they don't want them seeing because they'll be less Facebook time. Yeah, the volleyball
 Wilson sold for over three hundred thousand dollars at auction. I think we should scuff up some volleyball
 You're listening to the radcast if it's radical we cover it

 Yeah, cue sound effects the um, yeah, I got my Bush Reagan 84 shirt on you know, I actually am wearing the exact same shirt
 It's just you under it's the black light in nuts like you have to put a black line on. I would show you but yes
 Yeah, and for the record I
 I'm more in the middle in my politics
 I just like the fact that I feel like Reagan was like the last like
 respected president like before they got like shitty both ways sure there's a lot of
 I've heard many
 adult men tell me how great Reagan was I wasn't I wasn't alive
 I don't know there's just respect for the position. There's respect after it
 But it just I don't know you know with bush
 You know bush the second
 George w George w you know started from there and then now it's like, you know
 You're either on one side of the other and it's like everybody hates each other and it's I don't know it drives me crazy, but
 Reagan I respect it
 Sure, let's go down for Ronald Reagan give it up for Ron Reagan. I don't but here
 I will say this we'll get to our social our full social holidays
 But I do want to send a shout out yesterday was veterans day
 We take a lot of things for granted and you know
 We have a lot of phone on the podcast and we make fun of a lot of social holidays
 But I for one will never make fun of veterans day and my dad's a veteran a lot of family veterans and
 I think we take a lot for granted
 For what you know freedom is not free. Yeah, and I want to say I'm gonna play a little tune
 Okay, and uh
 It just brings it all together
 One of my hand over my heart. I think you should the grainwood would would appreciate it
 Hey
 And I'm bowed to me and I'm American
 Where it is now and over and free
 And I won't forget the men who died who gave that fight to me and I got
 He's in the next to you
 I had to get at least through that part and uh, you know, we have fun around here and there's certainly some
 A little cheesiness to that song, but at the same time like what it stands for though is solid and dude
 There's not I if I was living in another country
 I would probably be jealous of how like why does an art country have
 Fucking kick ass song like that. Why aren't they patriotic because they don't want to be there probably yeah sure
 You're not getting that kind of shit and great Britain. I'll tell you that right now exactly
 So all my respect all my love out to all of the veterans. We appreciate you every day
 And I don't care if uh
 People think oh this started the other about the military and politics and all that but hey your ass would be
 Grass if it wasn't for the military fighting for our freedoms, you know
 Uh, in today's world there's a lot of feelings. I'll take what we'll remove feelings and
 People getting canceled is a world war yeah exactly see what happens when see what you think about it when that goes down
 When there's a unified cause I think people become hardasses again and
 And I think we need a war, but I do wish people were
 Little we'll tell for these days. I agree. I agree and my my boy coffee Anderson
 Who's a friend who I've had on the show. I do want to give him a little shout out here. Okay with his song mr. Red white and blue
 It's more modern take on patriotism. Sure
 I
 Concurge everyone go download mr. Red white and blue
 Till coffee Anderson Ryan offered so you
 Interpromo code
 A hundred stripes on hundred stories
 It's the pledge of allegiance on the fourth of July
 Yeah, go down with that amazing song amazing dude. He's out there actually putting his money where his mouth is
 supporting all troops that have come back from Afghanistan and the shit show that was
 And we'll leave all the politics there. Sure. I did a a trunker treat with the army recruiting station here in town this year
 So that was cool
 Yes, I love it. Yeah, the Marines gave me more t-shirts free t-shirts than the army did so
 Yep, I did find out though. They do the branches will send each other memes to dis on each other and stuff like that
 So I was like, okay, I like the subculture here of yesterday was the Marines birthday, too
 Excuse me our two days ago wins day
 Was the Marines birthday they followed in succession the birthday of the Marines and then no ashes day
 No accident. Let me ask you question now. Do you think I gotta assume someone has gotten fired from a social media job because they
 Like said happy veterinarian stay or something like they they weren't paying attention with an auto correct was like
 Probably for sure wrong vets guys wrong vets
 Yes, I would probably fire someone on my team that did that you can't that yes, there's so much respect you can't that's one of those like you
 Check twice about once we took about that before like yeah, you don't mess that up
 You don't mess that up
 But uh, it's been a good week at the agency. We welcome several new clients can be a couple press releases
 On that we got a lot of new business coming in the door. It's been exciting
 And uh if you missed Tuesday's podcast really insightful the VP of marketing and branding at
 Ultra fabrics Barry Silverman we talked about a really interesting topic
 cancel culture sure and
 politics and core values and the fine line that companies and
 leadership at companies have to kind of
 skirt a little bit in today's environment and yeah, Barry talked about how you know brands can't hide anymore
 They kind of have to stand you know take a position
 Well, that's uh, I think it probably depends on what kind of brands you have right? Yeah, well where you are it's
 You know
 It's hard. I think about it. You know
 As much as I hate to say it like in full. I'm an open book
 But like you know even you know running the podcast and running things like
 I am not a super political person. I'm like a common sense person. I
 Certainly have core values and even I consider like
 You know, I don't want to alienate people talking about things that matter
 But I think like if people hear me talk and they hear about what I'm talking about
 I'm not I'm just standing up for what I think is common sense like yeah
 The veterans talking about
 Respecting the presidency talking about like you know, it's not politics. It's just like these are just values. We should have
 And I think but I even I struggle with no well. Oh god. Who am I offending by just saying that statement? Yeah
 I'm saying we need we don't need a war, but we need people to be like oh, okay
 He's just busting my balls or like who cares? You know, yeah, well, everybody's just so damn sensitive, you know
 You can't have a healthy debate
 No, and so uh, but anyway, it was a really fascinating discussion with Barry and then on a lighter note
 Tuesday releases alina smith episode
 Her latest hit grown fucking woman
 Wow, it was more of a youtube sensation slash social media. She didn't she didn't come up through like the normal channels of
 Got sewn signed to Sony and then whatever. She's kind of been self-made. So she's producing writing singing
 It's great. And she's kind of just a badass
 grown fucking woman dude
 That's it goat. That's so funny. Hey guys go stream my new single
 You know, they have like the little artistings. Hey spotify. This is the weekend. Check out it's like check out grown
 Fucking woman dude and and she's cool and the only thing I wonder when I see these guys and also the guys that name their songs
 Incorrectly like they don't put all the the at the at the okay the letters in it does she have to use the problem with SEO now
 Like with people go to search for songs your song will never rank because people will search for it as the full name
 But because you took out certain letters. It's like she's it messes up the algorithm
 Yeah, I don't understand. I think oh, it looks cool to be you know, never mind in VR
 M&D and it's like oh, that looks cool
 But no one will ever find you. I mean unless you're just a gigantic hit
 Yeah, and then saying they were like grown fucking woman like okay, you know, really rank for that term. I don't know
 So I'll get off my marketing SEO pan login, but okay does SEO pick up curse words like if you're trying to
 Mid-nab is it like they're in there, but you
 It's they're the algorithms kind of screwed up because they don't really want to showcase anything that's like
 naughty naughty on the word itself
 So
 You know, but anyway Tuesday Lena Smith go listen to it on all the platforms and I do have a little bit of an early announcement to make

 What it yes, it like the day that is the precursor to the 13th like super lucky. Yeah
 Okay
 It is not Friday the 13th you only get a little taste of that
 Only a little taste a little taste. I didn't get to scare you with it. I usually scare you with it
 Well, here's the thing is that noise plays really loud and I'm not expecting it. I'm like whoa
 Freaking out over here. You were expecting it though. I well
 You almost got me there. Okay, you know, do you know tomorrow is the tomorrow is gonna be the best day of my life
 Because I'm gonna I'm gonna wake up
 That but you know it really is I don't I'd love to hear old kind this day fuck
 I
 Son of a bitch
 They got to be nice to people tomorrow. I
 I was gonna do some really heinous crimes till I found that out. I had like a whole list of just
 Criminal actions. I was gonna commit
 Uh, world kindness day great, but Ryan let me ask you this buddy. Yeah, shouldn't every day be world kindness day
 Yes, it should be but unfortunately it's not that's what we have to have a day for
 I'm gonna remind my wife of this when she's yelling at me about some duty
 I didn't do on Saturday. Do you know how he's world kindness day? Oh
 That can't steep
 What if at uh, can we have a world like meanness day?
 I think life it's gotta have a yin gang to everything. It's like a mean girl day
 You know mean girl day. It's called my whole high school experience Ryan. I don't I don't want to talk about that
 Well, we're gonna talk about some some of the news topics of the week. Okay. This is marketing news
 Some of which is not marketing, but they're everything's marketing. I'm not saying everything is marketing
 The Ryan Alfred story
 Will you write that book for me? You be my ghost writer uh, yes, I might have to fudge some details. So
 I want to write I want to write an autobiography without knowing anything about you
 There's like a perceived the perceived the perceived autobiography the the uh the once the once hidden story of
 Of Ryan Alfred. Yeah, the once in now now not hidden
 Uh, I think perceived audit was that's an interesting spin is perceived autobiography
 Writing people's life story based on what the how they perceive how you've seen them on social media. Yeah, I'd like for you to do that
 Okay, you don't deal you get to see behind the scenes and in front of it
 So you should be able to write it for real
 You know, yeah, I'm just gonna have to uh if I could have like a check
 I think most clearinghouses are like five million
 Yeah, so can we make it to
 Okay
 Are you familiar with Tim Hortons if we're eating at Tim Hortons? No, because I'm out of fucking canuck bro
 Are you hockey playing maple syrup chompin canucks out there? I don't know about
 Poutine eating
 Well, guess what why they're jumping on the celeb menu trend Justin Bieber. Yes has three new flavors
 Of Tim Bitt's donut holes. They're called Tim Bebes
 Tim Bebes dude. It's a catchy name. Yeah, Jay Bebes got Tim's hole. I like it
 I mean look I'm a smart move. I'm I look it's
 Bebes everybody likes to make fun of Justin Bieber, but let me tell you number one to do just cash him checks and snapping necks
 and you know what he's not an idiot and he is
 You know what I'm gonna go ahead and say I dare to like some some of his music
 It's gotten a little more hip the beats have gotten better. You know, but
 Look if you don't think the brands don't need to cash in with using celebrities when they got nothing else to talk about
 No, this is gonna work
 You're gonna sell some donut holes. I'm telling you. Oh, absolutely some Tim Bebes
 There's always the ironic factor of like someone being like
 This is stupid you want to try it out? Yeah
 They're the ones to say stupid and then you look in the back of their car and there's a you know 12 packs of donut holes
 They had him at work. What was I supposed to do? Yeah, they can be cops eating Tim Bebes like
 Phone Sather Road. I do like the visual of yeah grown man. They're all not being like can I get the Tim Bebes team? Yeah
 Let me feel icky
 It's for my daughter. Don't worry about it. Just the Justin be I would make them say it though
 You know like I'm sure guys like give me the Justin Bieber donut and I'd be like you have to you have to say Tim Bebes
 In order to receive it. Yeah, wait wait. I didn't hear you like you have to make them yell it out
 They're yes
 Anyway good good good good move by Tim Wardens. I have no idea. It's gonna save their brand which has been slumping a bit
 But uh, what did they do? Don't are they donuts? I think that's like a fast food chain probably they don't have them here in South Carolina
 But I will say that I have seen it's important
 marketing point that people liked you know they hid a gift card in a block of ice
 And I saw some tick-tock and you had to wait for the block of ice to melt
 And in the center was this was unique. Okay. I like it
 Very unique. I mean what do you get when you it's just a gift card once it melts?
 Yeah, you get food poisoning at Tim's
 Like let us send it or something
 We've got some bad lettuce over here in ice cubes
 It's an actual card. It's not the lettuce
 So uh, Disney has had had kind of rough day on the stock market yesterday because they're about time
 They're earnings time finally. I'm getting fed up
 But they're having to balance now entertainment and ad sales and the streaming age
 You you have Disney plus you pay for Disney plus don't okay. Do you of course? I have kids have four kids
 You don't you don't think we have Disney. I think I'm paying for four times
 Do they I saw a meme saying the Mandalorian carries that entire
 It helps, but they've got some look you get the whole Disney catalog on there like all the old Disney movies and you know
 My kids you're not you know
 You're so far away from being nine years old. You can't relate to this. You know that well
 I don't know if that's a compliment or a diss but I'll take it either way
 I have my personal qualms with Disney that I I can get into um, but uh
 Yeah, I blame Disney. I'm just gonna go on this rant for a second. Okay. Let's go down that these extravagant weddings that people have right
 Right
 It's all Disney's fault from Cinderella from because these kids grow up watching these movies where they're princesses and have these huge weddings
 And now the wedding industry is just what are you trying to copy copy Disney movies all the time? So what you're saying is you think Disney should
 Yes, I don't like the weddings
 It's with it's their fault that
 Weddings are so extravagant these
 You know like Disney's fault. I thought it was like bridesilus fault. I'm Disney makes bridesilus
 Because what do you think they're learning these
 From an early age? I need my prince charming
 It's like yeah, like social so you're saying social norms are established in Disney movies
 I think so I don't think weddings were maybe I'm wrong. I'm probably wrong, but I think the whole like maybe
 Like chariots and like grow up and you know, you know get married and it's gonna be the biggest thing ever and your parents or you go broke
 It'll be America during
 It'll be your social media profile picture yeah for three years
 The best day of your life. This is true
 So anyway did she's having to balance entertainment and ad sales because look they're now they're a director consumer brand forever
 Other than like Disney role in Disneyland. I guess that was directed consumer
 But always before it was like selling product in other places where people used it now they have to sell
 subscriptions to Disney plus
 And you know that markets highly competitive for content in otherwise so
 You know, how would they survive Ryan? Oh, they'll survive Mickey Mouse will never die
 They're gonna have to unmelt Walt here soon
 Yeah
 Pick his brain look as long as they got Marvel and they can make another Marvel movie make a billion dollars. Yeah, what hold on what
 They would we
 Amoeba sized. I don't know that that's the word every major
 IP in the world right now. Oh, I know. I don't feel bad for them
 And I don't know how they've been losing money, but I think it's a lot to do with the they there's but there's a lot of
 Investment in content now in these movies are yeah, it's so big like the investments huge. Oh, okay
 So yeah, they make money, but it's a lot in I mean think about if you seem like Netflix is number
 How much they're investing in to make content? I mean, it's like
 Hundreds of millions of dollars and you ever worry that no one knows what the hell is going on
 Oh, it's across my mind. I think there's some finger crossing going on. Yeah
 Yeah, everybody's life there everybody right, but it's just a bigger play for them. I'm just one of the throw get things
 I like this one. So our bees is cracking into the spirits
 Land that spirits being alcoholic beverages, okay, and uh roast beef
 No, we're not talking about like Christmas spirits like whoo ghouls and goblins. We're talking about
 Spirits being alcohol with vodka flavors inspired by its fries
 They have a curly fry vodka and a crinkle fry vodka hell yet you
 Everyone was hoping for that
 Anxiously awaiting I mean this falls into the just because you can't I'm not sure that you should realm
 Oh, I mean who wants like
 French fry vodka. Why don't you just fucking buy french fries? What do you mix it? I don't know
 I mean, I saw there are they they said bloody marion you mix it with depression
 Haha
 Fritz fries yeah, you're you're killing like lots burns because what what do you like you overeat and drink when you're depressed
 So now you get it all in one there you have it french fries and vodka self medication from our bees
 We have the we have the
 DUIs or I don't know what's the good you know, I mean yes, I would call this the the pandemic juice
 Andy
 Pandemic juice like yeah, how you get over it, you know, like some curly fry vodka
 Not for me. I will say I talked to a guy at a liquor store yesterday and he told me
 Sir, please put the gun down, but after that he said he said all these he calls him
 RTD ready to drink
 Okay, I'm RTD's RTD to's RTD to's Disney Disney your struggle and make RTD to's yes, okay ready
 He said drinks they suck. He said most these companies and I had that thought because I was gonna buy a gin and tonic
 Yes, today they're like the pre-made one. I said
 I'll probably mix it better than these bozos will mix it
 I feel the same way about the curly fries dude. I'll just go buy a curly fries and I'll drink the adequate amount of vodka
 Yes, I think that's a good plan and
 Yeah, don't buy the RTD's like yeah, no way RTD to's RTD to's
 What are we someone from Disney's listening right now like so I'm gonna go on record here if this
 curly fry crinkle fry vodka like makes it more than a year on the shelf
 Sign me up for five grand on the under
 Okay, it's not happening
 This is not this isn't gonna go anywhere get roast beef sauce
 It's just kind of like PR for PR sake to me some of these plays are like PR bees PR bees. Hey, I like it. I like it
 But the I will say like it's like oh, we make a big PR splash. We've got vodka
 There's french fries vodka and like buzz and all this stuff, but then
 You're really not gonna sell that much. I'm sorry. Wait. Are they gonna sell it at the arbys?
 In the kids meals. Okay
 The new tree many bottles in the kids meals. Yeah, let's go over. Well, no, it's really great
 I really I what I do like about it is that
 If you're eating at arbys, you're probably already depressed so you can just like
 Get everything. I like arbys. Arbys is on my menu like I if I'm going if I have to choice
 Yeah, fast foods like in it. You gotta have fast food
 Arbys is fairly high up there. It's a little higher quality than some of the other stuff
 Do they still do the five for five? I don't think so. Do you remember that? Oh, I remember. Okay. I used to eat them
 I didn't have ten for ten maybe really I had a bunch on those things
 Haha
 How many could you eat? How many it's how many arbys sandwiches?
 I do kind of like the in-and-out burger thing where I put lettuce on top of the roast. I'm kidding. I don't do that
 No, I wonder how many I can you say I can house five about my football point days, bro
 I would house five I go clink some plates and just start chopping you gotta have the cheese on it though cheese
 Oh, no, you don't like the cheese. I mean, I like it, but not like give me some arbys and some horsey sauce like oh yeah
 Like I want a side of meat with my horsey sauce like
 Yeah, wait. Do they have horsey sauce flavored alcohol yet? Where's that at?
 They say you mix it in with it like her bloody Mary's like horsey sauce, arbys sauce
 Bloody Mary makes in the curly frie vodka hell yeah, dude
 So it was curly frie vodka on your next list when you're the ABC store
 It's not on my what's on my list, but it's
 Clearly the perfect Christmas gift for everybody out there. So this is true. This is so true
 Yeah
 So thank you, Arby this today's episode of rat gas brought you about Arby's curly frie vodka
 We have the we have the meat distilled we have the sauce. I don't know. I don't think I say
 That whole campaign the net it works. We got the juice whatever
 We'll see we have the instant regret instant regret. We'll see the financial one year the sea was on the shelf
 We'll see so a Facebook is restricting abusive ad targeting and will allow users to avoid weight loss and gambling ads
 Can they help me avoid the ad for the metaverse? I want to avoid that as much as possible. Yeah, please. Yes. Are you not getting meta?
 I don't think they're getting meta. I think they they saw the response to that and now they're like hey
 We're doing our own PR stunt too guys. We can do it. We're fun. Yeah
 I just I find it ironic that okay
 If you want to avoid getting the gambling ads, okay, that's good. Okay, but if you're overweight and you want to avoid the weight loss
 Drugs are not drugs, but like programs. I think you should probably should be watching
 You know like that's not good for your health, you know, it's not yes
 It's not one thing that avoiding gambling if you have a gambling problem. Okay, but if you need if you're a little overweight
 Then your ass needs to see those programs and get healthy. You don't save your life
 Your ass needs to get off Facebook and get in the gym
 Yes
 That's probably why they want to that's probably why they don't want them seeing it
 Because there'll be less Facebook time. Yeah, you know honestly let them not see the weight loss and the gambling ads that way
 They don't leave the platforms. They leave the platform to go gamble
 They won't be on Facebook if they go work out outside. They won't they'll leave the meta or the Facebook
 All right, I can't assume it's going to be like a workout program in the metaverse. Hey, yeah, do you actually get to be in
 Is it VR interactive? I certainly hope so
 I mean, I'm gonna have my
 goggles on one of those things called
 Oculus rift dude. Oculus rift man. I'll be rifting through the metaverse
 I'll say right now if God answers prayers then
 Then you can
 I'm gonna be a rock star in the metaverse. I'm gonna be like just a punk rocker like, you know, you beat anything you want
 Is that what you gonna do? No, I don't think so. I would do that example last week
 We're talking about like, you know, like, was there gonna be a cast system in the metaverse of like
 Yeah, wealthy in the non wealthy absolutely. There's gonna be
 Yeah, like
 He's the other side of tracks
 Not hanging out with him
 That seems kind of likely now that you say that they're gonna
 There's gonna be like extreme metaverse cyberbullying. Oh, yeah, there's gonna be extreme. That's the only I'm like
 How it's just gonna be better for the kids are worse
 Because it's gonna be real life or fake life, you know, like like I don't wrote my kids are already in the metaverse on
 Yes, you know, like it's like do you play real blocks? I don't because I'm not a kid. Okay, who watches Disney? All right. You do you game, though?
 Uh a spit game. Oh come on
 Do I game now not anymore? Okay, but I'm aware of yes the submersive nature of things
 I
 I just don't see a lot of people I could honestly imagine them saying hey guys
 We were kidding. We're not really doing this anymore. Yeah, no, they're not gonna do that man
 You don't think so billion dollar company. You don't change your name your logo. Let's you're in you're in the meta
 Okay, I was gonna hope you were gonna end it at you don't change your name in your end company
 Well, they are but speaking of the Wild West
 Um, there's an invested are you familiar with discord?
 No, but I see a discord link below. I always see that. Is that like live streaming?
 Yeah, well, it's no live just chatting so like you can do chatting with brands and influencers and things like that
 It's just you know, we have slack at work and it's kind of like
 the slack but with
 It directly with companies and brands and people okay, you may not work with but more like be like community
 It's a community of can we give the
 Arby's discord on the line real quick and there is an Arby's discord so you can get in on it
 We can get them and talk about their vodka
 That's all I want to talk about
 But like it's becoming powerful for brands to build community
 You know because it's like and I don't know who it makes me wonder who you know
 If you are in the Arby's discord, who's on the other side of the chat for Arby's?
 Who's is it mr. Arby? I mean like who's who's representing Arby's in this discord?
 You know some 22-year-old like social media manager
 I would imagine they've got a they've got a script list for what they can and can't say you know like
 I'm sorry, I'm not sure manager. I need to go hold on one moment. I'll be right back. Uh watch this meme
 Pretty much let me put this meme video on while I go
 Talked about manager if this is okay to say
 After talking him, uh, please inter promo code for 10% off curly for yeah exactly
 Out of our online store it does raise a you know Arby's getting a lot of play here today
 Definitely gonna ask them for a sponsor
 But uh it does bring in a question the who's chatting with brands? Yeah, yes
 But uh the management of uh when you're pushing you know food versus alcohol in and like yeah a little different
 For sure, yeah, well, okay, so they discord though you build these communities. Yes
 So investment startup brand is is gone hog wild in the wild wild west
 With building though
 They're essentially using the platform to have dialogue with customers before they even become customers
 And so it's actually a good way for startups to
 kind of build community and build customers that
 You know
 Have that direct line of access. I mean, I almost think of it as like this cross of customer service with
 It sounds like like I support
 Yeah, it kind of sounds like tech support. Yeah, how do you get on there? It's like I'm really trying to get in this app
 Mutername, bro
 Who knows I've got to imagine there's a lot of trolling going on in discord though. I yeah, you think
 Another another realm here. I found this uh quite meta and another metaverse in another
 So it's just so funny where it's getting confusing because on some articles Facebook's changed their name and some they have okay
 Yeah, so I read this
 Microsoft partners with meta to integrate teams into its Facebook like workplace
 I mean think about that headline for a minute
 They're Microsoft is partnering with meta slash fake book slash Facebook because it's meta's not Facebook
 Facebook's not meta to integrate teams
 Which is video calling into its Facebook like workplace
 Did this is like oh boy my head spinning. This is like when
 Like Kanye changes his name to yay and people are still like what's up Kanye? You know, I mean like no, it's yay
 Okay, hey, what's up Facebook? I mean, no, it's meta. Call me meta, please
 Sure speaking didn't run our test changes named it to meta world peace. Oh, yeah
 He did he was way ahead of his time. He was he was meta before meta dude. I know
 Pre-meda
 I have I wonder if he's I think he changed his name back or something or if he's still meta world peace
 All he's sitting on a gold mine. He changes name back. Hmm sounds like someone else. I know. Yes
 But these headlines are just trick me out. I don't even want to talk about what is what the article is about
 It's more of the fact that these headlines are
 Microsoft partners with meta to integrate teams into its Facebook like workplace
 Oh
 Jesus
 Is anyone the writer is just as confused as we are though? How do you forward? Yes?
 Are we talking about Microsoft? Are we talking about meta? Are we talking about the real world the fake world?
 Are we talking about Facebook? Are we talking about a workplace within teams? I have no idea. I have no idea
 So
 We're gonna let you just think about that one for a minute audience
 Get meta with it
 I just want to exist in the metaverse
 where I can still see
 Photos of very mundane activities being done on a timeline
 Doesn't it like I started to scream to me too big to fail like
 No matter how bad they fuck up like they will never fail, you know like yeah
 Yes
 It doesn't matter
 So we got two good fun ones and end the show today first food fighters is starring in a horror comedy called studio
 666 makes sense for them
 Because Dave girl was in he was the devil and tenacious D's
 Tribute video. Yeah, so they've recorded
 Essentially a large part of their album without the whole thing like in this haunted house
 Okay, and they're filming it and making a kind of a comedy film out of it. So
 We'll see we will see I bet I bet they're great actors
 That's what I'm saying
 You say that I read these things like this and I'm like okay, you're gonna make a film and
 Amazing rock band can we agree that food fighters are great rock band. I like their older stuff me too
 But it that they're you know catalog is diverse and good and they're great rock band
 But this doesn't necessarily mean you're a great actor. Maybe they will be no, but we will find out we will
 I actually rent the the drummer Taylor Hawkins. I was at a record store one time and he was checking out in front of me and the guy
 was like, oh, you're
 And he was the nicest guy in the world to him. He's like, yeah, man. Just for some record. So yeah
 I
 People love Dave girl a lot too
 Yeah, it's like can we not gonna something more original it's six six six

 Wilson I know

 Painting or something that might be hard to recreate. It's like. Oh, okay. There could be I can be drawn
 I think we should scuff up some volleyball
 And put him on a street with a bootleg
 Occasite this is Wilson's double. It was a stunt double
 Oh
 This is the one that Tom Hanks he got upset with uh with the craft services and he
 Punted this one. I think you're on to something we should also just go find popular movies

 Glove that Freddie wore on the first history
