You ready to start snapping necks and caching checks? Well, it starts right about now. What's up guys, welcome to right about now. It's our weekly business news, here on September 20th, 20th, 24th. You know, 3rd quarter is blowing back folks. 4th quarter is round the corner. I can hear it now. Black Friday. I guess we gotta hit Halloween for Halloween. Then Black Friday and all the holiday sales. They're coming. I know it's always you can count on and that's Brianna Hall. Hi guys. And of course, my good friend. Chris Hansen. Looks good. Sometimes I want to talk with like a higher pitched voice. I hear my deep voice. I hear something out of this. I hear something singing. So, now I gotta have this radio voice. Deep. How are you guys today? Great. Great. Happy to be here. Happy to be here. Energy is high. I got my vibe science teach here, don't you gotta be the spark baby. I need some spark today. that spark it up here on this show. If you hadn't listened to that, you gotta see Chris and I talk about health and wellness. We're unlocking all kinds of, we had a great episode this morning. Yeah, whether we're good friend, Dr. Joe Wusso. So we talk about all kinds of things, health and wellness, biohacking. Dr. Joe didn't want us to call it that, but well, that's kind of what it is. Hi vibes all the time. Check that out. You're aware, you listen. Just hit the, just hit like subscribe next to that one. That way you have these two shows right next to each other. You can't get enough, Chris and I. Oh man, it's been a busy week. I felt like back in the vibe. We're going to marketing agency here at Rad. I couldn't believe it or not. You might forget that sometimes with all the podcasting. You have the podcast network. And then I was on a real client shoot for the first time in a while. I was like back in the sale again. It's like, hey, students and commercials, air quotes. Today's commercials were social media videos and stuff. So that was fun. How's your week been, Brianna? I was kind of jealous. The shoot sounded so fun. My week has been interesting. Unfortunately, my little guy had pneumonia, walking pneumonia. So we were kind of down and out most of the week working from home. But, you know, happy to be in studio today and happy that he's on the mend. Yep. With four kids of mine, I know that drill. It's just, it's a kid in the house. It's just, it's a kid in the house. Yep. And you wanted to be okay. So once you know they're okay, you're like, okay, is this just sickness? Okay. All right. But still, they're a sick kid in the house. Yep. So it is what it is. And the world shall go on. Chris, how's the week? What's up? We're cruising, baby. Just dodging rainstorms down here. Oh, yeah. And say dry. Trying to stay dry. It's great though. Yeah, we're moving. We're moving. I know the late breaking news here, as we recorded this, the interest rates finally dropped. Yep. Yep. Fed goes big. Interest rates come down half a percent. Half a percent. Ah. Just in time to try to get Kamala elected. We're timing. We're timing here. Yeah. I look. If Trump was in office right now, this happened for him. I would say the same thing. So let's get that out of the way. It just happens to be her. So do with that what you will. They've been waiting forever. And I guess the data is finally bad enough. They've got to go there. You got to go the 50 basis points. I think that was, is it going to spark some stuff? I think some real estate start moving. For sure. Yeah. I think it'll get real estate moving. And it says, this is from NBC News. They had an article called Fed goes big with interest rate cut in a bid to head off an economic slowdown. So the Federal Reserve said Wednesday, it was lowering its key interest rate by half a percent. An unusually aggressive move designed to cushion the economy from a further slowdown. Real interesting. I think, you guys buy groceries, I buy groceries, they're expensive everywhere. The economy is definitely in, you know, they're trying to say it's cooling, but I don't know. What do you guys think? I filled up my gas tank today, and I keep everybody keep telling me, you know, gas down, gas down. I'm like, that's a $87 tab right there, like every time, I got to have that premium shit. And it's like, I guess it's not going down. But supposedly everybody tells me gas is going down, but I don't know, groceries definitely are. No. Chris, how much does it cost to fill up your gas tank? I paid over $5 for premium, so you're talking like $120. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's funny, like, gas is down compared to what, like three weeks ago by 15 cents. Maybe, you know, like, we were paying like $2, $2, $3 a gallon in the last administration when I get inflation happens. When I left California two and a half months ago, I was paying almost $6 a gallon for gas. So that's crazy. I'm happy to be in South Carolina. So this article says, the economy has continued to send mixed signals. The unemployment rate at 4.2 remains historically low, but it has inched up in four of the last five months, a trend that has often preceded other recessions. So what's your guys' take? Are we in a recession? Some may call it a silent recession. Yeah, I don't know. It's passed my pay grade to know, like, definitively. I'll just say some things feel slower. The vibe feels amongst like other business owners feels a little so-so. I could be convinced that we're pretty damn close, but what do you think, Chris? I think we've been in it. Like you said, everyone I know that owns businesses is not having a great time right now. So I mean, I think if you look at prospectively compared to three years ago, there was a completely different energy spending was going nuts. And now it's very quiet. Yeah. It seems that way. For sure. I don't know if it's the election, some of the negativity, all that stuff. Like there's a lot of factors that I feel like are like weighing into this, at least sentiment. I think sentiment is like the word here versus like the hardcore economic data. I have to look at it, but like the sentiment sure feels like what you're saying, Chris. Just kind of. Yeah. Yeah. That's my tip. And there's a lot going on, right? We've got like two, three wars going on across the world. I just feel like internationally, there's a lot more chaos than there was three, four years ago, right? So I think everybody is kind of budgeting a little bit. It feels like we're strapped a little bit more than is comfortable. I think in terms of business, every business owner that I know and I'm in contact with is holding their cards is a little bit closer to the vest than I think they were in previous years. Yeah. For sure. Optimism seems, it's few and far between, like, or scarce, for sure. Yes, scarce. That's the word. I was like before. And you can tell it in the sentiment, like I see it most with younger people that are people wanted to start up, young entrepreneurs, people wanting to create the energies in there right now. Yeah. If it's because the money's not flowing or, like you said, there's just a general cloud of kind of mail-ass. Males. Right now. Yeah. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. On the flip side, I did talk to a good friend of mine who's a mortgage guy this morning. And even he said that rate cut, he's getting more calls to pull her moving. If you go, watch the reruns of this show. I talked about, if when you stall real estate, the way they, where it has been with inflation and interest rates, that gets a lot of money doing a lot of different things. From refinance, like stuff that has to do with real estate, but a lot of stuff that doesn't. And I think there's been a lot of pinup people not selling, not buying, not refying, not doing things that pushes money into the market and gets flow of activity that I think that should help. I think it will. I'm kind of kicking myself because I closed deskroll about 30 days ago at like 6.8%. So would it immediately, what would it be today? I think it's like, I don't want to get quoted here. Let me see if I can find the data. Is it more than a half a percentage point or would it be six? Yeah, it's half a percentage point. So it should be like 6.3. Yeah, 6.3. I mean, that's a, that's not enough that you'd refi over there. If you went back down, it went like 4.8. So you don't have to come point there, you didn't get into, it'd be worth it with closing costs and all that. But yeah, I'm happy. Yeah. All right, you guys. So Chris, you're our crypto guy here. So next article is coming at us from Fox Business. Trump set to launch his own crypto platform. Former president, Donald Trump is set to launch a cryptocurrency project called World Liberty Financial on Monday with his two oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump leading the initiative. Thoughts. I look at this like a celebrity crypto main coin, yeah, and there's hundreds of Trump-related meme coins already. I mean, there's Kamala coins, there's a million things. It's almost, I look at this. Maybe it's a marketing play. You know, you have a lot of celebrities release a coin. It's good for building community. I can see this too from a campaign standpoint. You're pulling in kind of the younger crypto savvy people. You're appealing to them. I'm interested in it. I find it interesting. It's non-transferable, but I need to look into it more. I'm kind of, like what's the goal of it, right? It's the back of the, it's value. So this is where my, I know it was like, you believe it. If you believe there's value, then there's value, you know, I mean, well, the US government sort of backs it to. I mean, so there's, there's some stuff there. I mean, we can, we can go down and have all anyone listening. That's investigating crypto. This is not the type of crypto you buy into, by the way, you buy into Bitcoin, Ethereum. The stuff that the massive banks and does have a bad hand behind it. When you have JP Morgan and banks like this, holding close to billions of dollars in this cryptocurrency, that should be your signal that this isn't going anywhere. Right? I think at this point, now your guy at Merrill Lynch is probably going to start suggesting, hey, we've got this ETF fund with some cryptocurrencies. Maybe you put 10% in there, sure. This is more of a novelty type thing in my opinion, but we'll see where it goes. For those listeners out there, like myself that aren't invested in crypto, what would your guys as kind of business insider view on crypto be? For people who haven't, have not yet invested in it? I think the coins and the specific currency that Chris named, like the original Bitcoin and Ethereum are so backed now by other entities much larger than anything anyone on this call or probably that we're talking about, even if whatever percent we're in, Chris Vibe has done all right. But still, people that back at that are worth thousands of times more than we are, keep those, I think, from going to nowhere or nothing. But so I'd have it as part of your portfolio, but I would have it, like, here's how I treat my investments. High risk, I could live with it if it went away forever. It's usually about probably more for me than most people, like 20 to 30% high risk, but high reward. And then 50% in safe, but still aggressive, because again, at my age, I'm not concerned myself, still young. So safe, but still aggressive. I think depending on your age and then that it's tried and true. It's going to slow grow, but it's going to grow. I always have some been play that is risky. That's just because that's just my persona. But I think most advanced to medium advanced have Bitcoin have, have it in their portfolio somewhere now. Yeah. So that's my opinion. Yeah. My two cents make it easy, download Coinbase, put it on dollar, dollar cost average in. So just you can set it on Coinbase to buy weekly, to buy monthly, I put mine, I purchased every week, I think $100 every week of Bitcoin, and a few other ones, and I've said it for years. I think since like 2019, I've had to just doing that. So it's not even like you need to worry about trading, and I can tell you, if you would have done that, it might be. I did you to show me how to set that up for you. Yeah, I'm like, okay. I don't even do that. I wouldn't do that. I didn't do that. Right. And of course, when I started this, I got it in 2017, it would be like $20 a week, right? I was dipping my toes in, I heard it in the news, I knew friends had made money on it. So I was like, okay, like any like you said, I was a small amount of my income was going into it. As I've learned more, I've opted a little bit, still my best profitability has come from just dollar cost averaging, buying a little bit every week or every month, and not even looking at it. Set it and forget it. Yeah. That's $20 a month. That's how you can do it, right? And do the big ones, the big one, the Ethereum, it's, I compare it to blue chip stock, right? Coca-Cola, the Ford. It's so ingrained now in our financial systems and being used internationally that technology is not going to go anywhere. So Coinbase app, hook it up to your bank account, just set it up super simple. You can even get a credit card now from a lot of these companies. So I have a visa crypto card, where I can literally, if I want, I can load it up with say $2,000 in Bitcoin, and I can go anywhere a visa is accepted and swipe to credit card, like any other normal credit card, and it'll automatically deduct and convert just from my crypto account. So this is, and I'll tell you, I was at a random like a Chipotle this week. It wasn't a Chipotle. It was like a local one, but even on the register, it said, hey, we take crypto. Like this is something now, normal businesses are regularly using. I mean, it's no more complicated than when you use Apple pair on your phone. It's just as simple. I haven't seen that yet. The like you pay with crypto, I haven't seen that yet. I haven't seen a lot of that, but I will, and you can set that up on Shopify. I mean, literally Shopify now, you can set up if you have an e-com store. You can say, oh, I'll accept a big coin or a zirium. I'll give you the non-sophisticated answer to. We're going to download it live on the show. Yeah, live with it. I'll say this, non-sophisticated, betting and gambling in the U.S. Now this thing is like billion dollars, billions and billions of dollars. ESPN bad, all this stuff. And I used to think that I bet on college football or I bet on like crypto. Like I almost equate them, like the same amount of risk, whatever. Let's just say this, I would now take whatever you gamble on football or college football and put it on Bitcoin and you will win a lot more than you ever were going to make gambling. 100%. And it's still a gamble. So I want you to sort of kind of think about them mentally the same a little bit, but I would say if those worlds were equal like five years ago, it's a lot better chance that you're going to win on Bitcoin and that side then gambling on NFL and college football 100%. This is not financial advice, but I truly believe that anything you put in crypto right now will be double what it's worth by next year this time. I can see that. We're going to do that for your cycle. We're about in anyone listening, we're entering the best time to get in. We're entering the bull run cycle here in the next nine months. I've been waiting three years for this. So create time to get in. If you're seen it on the news, it's already too late for sure. When CNN is talking about Bitcoin reaches new highs, that's when I'm pulling profits because it's going to start coming down after that. Yep, definitely. Well, I have a quote here from Donald Trump, we're embracing the future with crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind. So be interesting to see what happens. I send $5,000 to Europe last night. It was there in four minutes. You know how difficult that would be to do. Yeah, I spent five green and crypto last night. I sent it was there in four minutes to Europe. If I would have go to a bank, it would take five days, five business days and probably cost me $100 and wire fees. It's your winter mail order bride coming. They said three weeks. Yeah, sure. Five minutes to send three weeks to get here, baby. I want you to cost more than 5K. You're just ringing her for a month. Some of those robots, others are Elon robot wives. Yes. Yes. All right. This is interesting. Roblox blurs lines between gaming and commerce with Shopify integration. I know you're a bomb of babies. I don't know. Roblox. You don't have to say Roblox. Right? This is your. Yeah, this is mine. I know this. I'm like. Oh. It's not Roblox. It's Roblox. It's Roblox. You're about a year away. Okay. Yeah. Roblox. Take it away then. Now we'll say this. There's a game. Let me just tell you. I would imagine they're stocking like whatever company is. I was actually going to look it up before this didn't have time. The game called Brawl Stars. This is all the rage for the kids. They spend more money on that than anything. It's an app on the phone. I want to find out who the developer is. They have to be making money because this is kind of like Fortnite like part two. It's a totally different game than Fortnite. But it's my kids from eight to 15 play this game religiously. And so Roblox has actually kind of taken a little bit of backseat eight-year-old Nash. Usually he's in Roblox's fair amount when he's playing. He's more into Brawl Stars right now because it's on the mobile device and then I have to get on. But Roblox is huge. It's interesting with this integration with Shopify. I need to get on to kind of play around with it. They've had a couple of these like metaverse things with the restaurants and stuff and I've gotten on them. I'm like. Yeah. This is hokey. But hopefully this is a good integration. If it's really well integrated, it's going to be interesting because you got all these kids playing with Shopify linked to it. I think I have all this money charged up like 17 t-shirts show up, you know, on the front porch. What is this? Yeah. What the hell? Yeah. I think it's smart in the integration within the platforms, but I'll say I never would have believed the amount that the kids end up spinning for all these just random things in the games. That's someone smarter than me. I guess that's shit and fooled me, but I did not think I guess coming up in the gaming world the way I did is like you saved up forever to get the title itself. So then the thought of spending more money like day one to get some outfit or something. Like just what have been maybe it would have worked then to like you just trying to get to the game title, trying to get it for Christmas or your birthday. What title was that Ryan? What? Nintendo 64? No. No. That's not even that. He's way original. He's original. He's original. Super Mario brothers and Mike Tyson's punch. I was beating Mike Tyson by night one zero zero seven three seven three five nine six three. That's the code to get to Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's punch out. I still know. Wow. Go use it. Go get download it right now. Wow. That's how well. I'll tell you. What's that? Somebody knows that code. That's how you get to Mike straight to Mike. You don't have to be glass Joe or all those other bozos. You get you get straight to Mike Tyson. Little Mac is like, he's running in the 2D. His arms are going like this because he's running. He's training for his boxing match. It was so good. That's the difference. Back then you just had like cheat codes. Now it's like 499 and you know, you know what, give you those codes. There's none. They had the Nintendo magazine or like the black cat one that was like all the custom codes to get into certain parts of the game. It's like, yeah. I feel like it made kids smarter though. Like now it's like, oh, you just have to pay to get it. Yeah. No, you just had to play it in good at it. Yeah. You had to be resourceful. Yeah. You actually had to beat the game now. You can just like pay this kid level. I will say that you was my 15 year old Clayton. What was what I call the first one that replaced Brawl Stars fortnight dude is like gold star like level 18 elite. I don't know what that is. Everybody's going to somebody's going to DM me like they're in hundreds dude. What are you talking about dude goes in there and wins like every other match and he's got some gaming skills. Let's just say this. He does what he can do with the controller. I'm like, yeah, you got some hand Accordation. You know, he's going to basketball too, but it's like pretty amazing like, hey, I just video games are just not my forte. You guys I grew up on a 200 acre farm off the grid where they turn our electricity off because it was on a gas power generator. So we had like no electricity during the day. So yeah, I feel like it's not my forte. I mean, where are my four to either? Yeah. I definitely came up in the gaming like the very beginning of it with Nintendo all of the sudden. We're like in the arcade. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, wait, Hampton here in Greenville, it was there's not round anymore. But oh, yeah, Skater die, baby. I destroyed that game paper boy. Oh, yeah, this style to gaming here on right about now, right? I want to kind of jump down here while we're talking about different platforms and let's talk about TikTok. So this is coming at us from NBC news. TikTok says it's not spreading Chinese propaganda. The US says there's a real risk. What is the truth? So you know, everybody knows TikTok is in a legal battle over a potential ban in Washington DC. So in the court documents, the US Department of Justice and Intelligence officials state that they have no direct evidence of China using TikTok for propaganda. But do you highlight a significant risk that it could happen? What are your guys's thoughts on TikTok? I'm going to talk about it to the lens of TikTok or any of these platforms. I don't believe in censorship. I believe we have free speech and you can do these things. I believe that first and foremost. I do think that like, can we not just put like a some kind of thing on here to wear like a regulation where these companies are a filter or someone a neutral third party that has like sort of the oversight of these platforms that are just so big. They need an independent washover every now and then and because they're all technology. It's all data. It's all an algorithm. So put a filter on it where China, whatever that could be China coming in gets stopped. And you have like a group of non biased people that are just making sure the technology is safe. Yep. Is it that simple? Is it my, am I simplifying it? Like why can't I know these are private businesses and I think that's where it gets hairy. But I think we can all agree when some of these things get as big as they are with great opportunity comes great responsibility. So you've benefited making hundreds of trillions of dollars on the, in the US. So just deal with a little bit of regulation. Even if I'm an anti-government kind of guy or not anti all government, just most of it. Because they don't know how to run a business. But I don't know. Is it just not that easy, Chris? No, it's a slippery slope. I mean, I've thought about this a lot because of the whole censorship with X or Twitter back then right during like the 2020 times, COVID, all that stuff. So I'm like, all right, we've had committees, but they've never been unbiased. They've always seemed very, very skewed, right? Yeah. And then like you said to the private company thing, now do I think China could weaponize this? Absolutely. It's a weapon for people's minds now. We don't need missiles and guns and bullets. Yeah. And I'll reference. There was a Ted talk, I believe, from Jack Dorsey, the former Twitter CEO, where he's talking about really the algorithms, the danger of these black box algorithms that are being weaponized. And they are, right? They're harnessing our attention. And whether that's ill-motivated or not, right? If I'm a business guy, it's my app. My goal is I want you on the app as long as possible, whether it's for nefarious reasons or not, probably not. But I do wonder, and we've all seen this, right? You can see when the algorithm is starting to push certain stuff your way. That's where I think the whole problem lies is, how do we know that these algorithms aren't being subtly used to push certain things or certain beliefs now to be fair? You can look at China all day, but I've seen our own government suppress us from information and freedom of speech. So it's like, I can understand all this, but this is a deeper, bigger problem that we have that you could even say applies to all of our social media platforms, not even specifically TikTok. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, the algorithm is one of those things that it's kind of like a beast that's tricky to understand and how the algorithm can be different. Like, if, you know, Ryan and I work together every single day, but if you open up our algorithms, they'll be completely different things on social media, even though we might share some religious views, some general values, some political views. And it's really interesting to see like that completely different narratives could come through for different people. I don't know. It's just like hard. I feel like back in the day when we had like the first beginnings of Twitter and Facebook in my space, it was really like, you put something up and that's what everybody sees is that one thing, but now it's like, they only see what the algorithm thinks that they want to see. Well, yeah. And that's why you might be on Instagram and all of a sudden you're getting showed a video from June. Right? Where it's like, I don't even follow this guy. And this is three months old. And I think a perfect example is the election, right? Say there's a post and it's just some information about Trump from Fox. If I read the comments, I'm seeing a bunch of anti-Trump stuff and I have to think this is being done on purpose because usually it's triggering people to create more engagement and divisiveness. That's where I kind of look at like, okay, how are these algorithms being programmed? You know, we're not like you said, we're not all seeing the same thing. So we used to say, and I know Twitter would say this, it's like the city center, what's the word? You know what I'm saying? It's just to go for the news, right? The town square. Town square. Where? Now, it's like there is no town square because it's also customized by the algorithm that we're all like, we don't even know what the majority of people's beliefs are because everything is so individualized. Oh, yeah. But I do think it's being weaponized. Yeah. Maybe our graph is a different solution. Let's just limit how long we allow our kids to look at their devices. Let's just all get off the phone a little bit more. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And then maybe we don't, it doesn't have the info, that might be, you know, wishful thinking too. But I agree. It's price equality. I raised TikTok. The phone itself is pulling away from us in certain ways from our real lives. Like you said, if we all just took a step away from the phone, yeah, I think when you do that, you even go back to your phone and you're, you look at things a little differently. Oh, yeah. I agree. I agree with this. Obviously, a little different, but I'll use the analogy. At a certain point, you stop drinking because it's just too much. And so getting on your phone and get on these channels, it's like, yes, a digital thing is not physical, but it is mentally the same thing is like drinking a 15 tequila drinks to your head. So it's unhealthy, right? So unhealthy mentally, like tequila drinks are unhealthy physically and mentally, but physically at first, but it sort of gives you, you at least get the reflex of, okay, I need to throw up now, I'm just to be gross, but just call it what it is. This is like another kind of problem is that you don't know that you really, your brain is throwing up, but I think if we thought about that a little bit more and look, I'm guilty of it. That's some days I'm better at us. I think I'm a lot better than I was a few years ago, so I mean, like I'll go to the lake. I do things and I put my phone down. Like I look at it once every couple hours, but there's days where I don't. It's just not healthy. And I say this owning a digital agency and running a podcast with media, and I want people to consume it, but I do think there's a healthy point that we've passed. Yeah. I think so too. I don't, I don't think it's healthy to consume the level of like constant and indated like videos and short form content, creator content, ads, and pushing everything. It's okay to consume it a little bit and some of it's really interesting, but you can't do it all the time. You have definitely, I mean, what do you say, Chris? Everything in moderation, even moderation. That's right. Yeah. And even better analogy might be like cigarettes, like in nicotine, which is now like when you go buy it, like they have to tell you, like, this is hard to quit. You seen those signs? It's very hard to quit once you start. Like they said a big bold letter to they saw it now. It's always like social media should be saying because high performing, right? It's habitual. And TikTok is the worst culprit. And so it's like, it's almost like I would be surprised if it got to the point where they you get on the platform. It's like, this can be habitual and bad for your brain. Like 10 years from now, I would be surprised if we learn that and it's probably in the terms of service already and some like some wording that doesn't make sense. Yeah. We'll find it on accident. Yeah. These are not easy problems to solve, but they're worthy of discussion. Yep. I think so too. So it'll be interesting to see it looks like a US law demands that TikTok and its parent company bite dance cut ties with China by mid January of next year or face the ban. So I guess we'll see what happens. You can you can on the road. It's hard not to look at this. Like I see the threat here like and that's why I think there might be something, but like it's also hard not to look at this with it's just political and it's also being weaponized. Like the meta, it's very meta because it's like they're wanting to cut this off, but it feels like the same propaganda, all sort of the same thing. It's crazy. Have you guys heard of mom talk? Mom talk. Yep. I'm going to bring it up. All right. So mom talk is like the latest TikTok trend basically a bunch of accounts, a bunch of these Mormon moms. There is a new show on Disney plus and Hulu called the secret lives of Mormon wives. All the ladies are watching it. So ask your girlfriends, ask your wives, basically these Mormon moms are on mom talk. It's called mom talk. Did they all have to say husband there, it's they are soft swingers mean what does that mean? Like they trade once in a while soft swingers. That's like half pregnant. They're we know there was a name bringing this up is because it's business related and it's related to business news. One of the moms on mom talk had disclosed that she was offered a $20,000 brand deal for one Instagram post. So I thought it was interesting. If you haven't heard of it, you can look it up. You can do hashtag mom talk on TikTok. What do they talk about? Is it just general mom talk and they happen to be Mormon or is it Mormon mom talk? No, it's not mom talk. It's T O C K. So like TikTok. Like TikTok. It's them dancing. It's them dancing. It's like dancing. Yeah. With the occasional husband swap or wonder what it's like a train wreck, I can't look away. Exactly. Oh, man, maybe they maybe they figured out the formula. Well, it's just interesting how much marketing budget is being allocated to mom talk and it depends on your algorithm. It's all over everyone of my feeds. Well, clearly the algorithm is targeting you because you never heard of it. You're sucked in the vortex of the mom talk mom talk. I'm kind of. Yeah. Okay. I'm afraid because then it's all going to keep popping up. I thought you were actually going to tell me it was a new platform altogether like it wasn't TikTok. It's like mom talk. I wouldn't be surprised if they started their own, you know, every one of these women, there's like five or six of them. They all said that they are the breadwinner in their household after dancing on TikTok for like a year. Are they hot? Yes. Okay. And now we get to it. All right. And they just happen to be moms. Yeah. They could be. They're a hot Mormon mom. They're hot Mormon moms. Now I say it to you because they're hot and who was the brain that offered them? It was probably a lingerie company like yo, 20 day would give you one post. Yeah. I know what it was, but I don't know that it's appropriate to tell you what it was on the podcast. Is it a personal toy that did the sponsorship? Yes. No to sell. Check out mom talk later. See who's trying to sponsor them. Oh me. Today's segment, mom talk brought to you by Trojan or I don't know what would you like to finish this off right? I will say this. I did see this one article about the iPhone 16 and I didn't watch it and it's like the sales are slow. It's not surprising. I want to get excited about this thing. I want to go buy it, but it's got a bunch of features that aren't even going to be released yet. It's like I can't get excited about a camera button. It's like, can you give me something else? I need motor all these call me. We need to get the droid to campaign going because this is the prime time to fucking crush Apple because they have no innovation going on. It's time and I'm an Apple guy. I'd hate it. I mean, my whole ecosystem would crumble, but this is the time to strike. If you want to get Apple now in the smartphone game, now is when you do it because innovation is stalling, slowing. I don't know why I wish it wasn't, but they aren't innovating with their hardware. All four is great, but we need some hardware innovation or something exciting. And not some big goggles on your head that make it dizzy. Well, we talked about this last Friday as well, like their new phone. It's just like one new button, nothing crazy. It's mad. It's just mad as it mad gets. It's like, if you look up M.E.H. in the dictionary, it's got Tim Cook right there right now. I've owned 16 pictures. Yeah. It's like with a big A.E.I. question mark. Hashtag. I don't know what is happening, but yeah, anyway, disappointing iPhone 16 sales this far. Yeah. Seeing this coming a while on them, I'm sad because I need a new phone. I'm getting this random no SIM card message on my phone like every other day now. I had conspiracy theory. I've had this phone longer, it's the 13 plus. I'm a trade every year guy, but this is the longest I've kept a phone since I went and I feel like they're hijacking my phone because I need to buy a new one. It's still fine. You know, like fast enough cameras good enough for what I use it for now they're corrupting my SIM phone. No. Silicon Valley. I want you on the e-SIM. Yeah. Because I don't even want people having SIM cards anymore. Oh, yeah. They're getting me. They're totally getting it. They're going to get to where it's almost annoying enough, it's going to get annoying enough that I'm going to go by that stupid 16. I'm telling you, the fix is in. That battery starting to get a little worse. Like come on. I thought they do it. It's like every two years, like right at the end of two years into three years, yeah, just crash your phone. I know.
