This is right about now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. 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 Friday the 13th. Friday December 13th, 2020, 24. Jason may not be here, but Brianna is. What's up Brianna? You're most lovely. And you look lovely there in your studio at home. Then Jason, four he's from Friday the 13th, by the way. Yeah, hopefully. Although I am a little tired, so maybe I'm putting on the Jason look. That's what kids do to you. They send you home, got to pick them up early. I don't know God. I remember the days. It still happens. Maybe your role has it every now and then. He's bad. Yeah. He's the worst kind of sick. He's like me, like men, you know, like one little stuff. You know, I'm not feeling good, Dad. He's the big baby. Suck it up, suck it up. Then I'm the same way. Like, if I don't get, I'm not going to wish to say that. I'm not going to say that loud. But when I am sick, which is not that often, I had a, I'm definitely a big baby. I think men are worse. Yeah. Yeah. I never have time to be sick, so. Yeah, exactly. Try it to be. So we hope you're everyone is doing well, wherever, whenever, however you're listening here on right about now. We've got your weekly business news of the week. And all kinds of good stuff. I'm going to start with the good news. So I've gotten into the crypto thing. And let me just say this. This is not financial advice. Please go to your financial advisor for risk counsel, risk tolerance. And, you know, how much you can afford to lose. So that's not for me to determine. I just want you to have a little fun with me testing the market. Brianna had something to say there. I'm not sure what. Just laughing. I thought it was funny that you said, like, how much you're willing to lose? Yeah. Well, you never know. Or when? How much? It's all about, hey, you cannot make any shots you don't take. So there you have it. I have been putting in a couple thousand dollars every week or two, just taking from other investments, doing it and like taking, you know, moving over to the crypto. Now that we have a crypto friendly president coming into office. And I am not the expert. Chris, who is on escapade in Houston, is the more of the quote expert in house. But, you know, you can learn a lot. So I'm on the Kraken app. The names of this stuff doesn't help with some of the legitimately sometimes. Like, I'm on that Kraken. It starts with a K. So I'll give them some free support. Maybe they should be a sponsor. That would be a good one for Natalie to reach out to. Get the Kraken, get the Kraken in here. Anyway, I'm on there very easy to buy it. So they make it super easy to take your money. Let me tell you. So one click away, your bank account, you know, whatever you got your wallet going on. And again, much better than college football lately. So I, you know, I quit couldn't bid on college football probably 10 years ago. So this is not a recent thing. But I will say it's riding the wave. And it's been an interesting week with crypto because I'm riding it. You know, I've bought, I probably have like 20 coins that I'm in now. Or, or different crypto, whatever. There's, there's a lot of terminology again here. So I've been buying them XRP. That's what you get on them to go ahead and tell you that that's the one. That one I bought for like 40 cents. It's up to like 250. So that's helping the old cause a lot. Also, these other coins are dragging a little bit. I'm smacking across the room going and get your shit together. The old XRP up. But here's the thing Monday and Tuesday. This is what happens with crypto for no route. At least no reason that I understand. We took an old dip, like 20% like all the top. And they say they do that because the big investors like start, they sell something they kind of create this swirl. And people like the, the smaller buyers, like the people that have, you know, 300, 400, you cut a few hundred dollars. But there's a lot of them. So it's a lot of money. They get nervous. They sell out of everything. As soon as they see it start dropping. So they say they do that on purpose. Because then the big investors swoop in on the dip by the dip. Chris has said that a lot. And so I just watched it. I didn't buy or so. Just watch it. Because I know there's too many positives in this space happening that I knew the dip was temporary. Oh, we're back, baby. We're back hard here today on the record day. I just finished reading a book all about like financial investing. And yeah, it's very interesting like how anything that can happen, like probably like when big stuff in the news happens, things dip down or they jump, they skyrocket. Yep. And so the entire market was down. I mean, a lot of the ones I had were down 10 to 20% money. And Tuesday, I'm just going, all right, whatever. Again, I have in here what I can afford to lose. I don't want to lose it. I don't like to lose. But I'm not like, I'm not, you know, jeopardizing my, my, my kids' future here on the old cracking. But I will say this. So the entire market here today, we recorded on a Wednesday. So it is Friday the 13th for you when you're listening, hopefully, because you do listen on record day. We know our release day. We know it. Our loyal ones do. The entire market is up 6% today. And let's just say I got 19% up 20% up 10% 12%. Like I'm averaging like a 10.2% up on every one of the ones that I own just today alone. And I'm just going to tell you that XRP is the one you want to get on. It's $2.43. It's expected to like double or triple here, like next year. So we're all in on that one. XRP ripple. And don't ask. Don't be sitting there. Somebody's listening and judging already. They're going, this guy's not a crypto expert. I am not a crypto expert. I'm just telling you, if I was betting on certain coins and I do like to read a lot, I research everything my wife. Whenever we're going to vacations, I do all the reviews. I read every one of them. There will be 4,322 reviews on TripAdvisor. I read 4,100 of them. And so knowledge, absorption, I am good at. So I've been reading a lot, absorbing a lot, trying to learn a lot. So I like to make a lot. And so far so good. We're up to about 6 grand. I put in about 3,500 and we're right about 5,800 today. That's over about a month. That's pretty good. You know, that's not, hey, not typical. These results are not typical. But when you're the crypto heavy guy like me, you know, you get lucky. No idea. I sometimes choose the names because I like the name of it. It's brand marketing. That's a pretty good branding decision. Oh my gosh. You're just picking crypto because you're like, all that. Chris will tell me if you, but then I picked the one of the three that he gives me based on if I like the name. Yeah. You know, I'll go read some of the data. And hey, here's the trick. Don't go to the first page of the search results on something good like page five. Because the first page I have, here's my strategy is the first page has been. Let's just call it bought, which means they may not begin. They might be giving you certain tips because they want you to take it as the sort of amateur hour investor. So I got to page five of the search results and see what they say about certain coins. Hey, just an eye tactic. Don't know. So far so good. Like 80%. So suck it. Crypto is so interesting to me because like, there's a whole demographic of people that like won't accept it as real currency. I don't know if I accept it or not. I just accept that people smarter than me are standing behind it and holding it up to be a good investment. And there's so much money now in it by the bigger like bank and like institutions that I'm like, okay, if these guys could be in it, I can, you know, I need to be in this. It's not going to go to zero. Yeah. And again, you got to only bet or invest, whatever you want to call it, gamble, invest, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy, what you can afford to lose. Yep. 100%. What are you getting in for? You got to get in on this day. Guys, I have gotten my account on Coinbase, which was one that Chris recommended all the way to like the point where you have to like log into your bank account. But I don't know if I should say this on the podcast. I just don't know my passwords to anything. So I'm like, well, I can't log in because I don't know my password. It's just auto saved. Mason on our team and I had this discussion yesterday. We were doing something, the amount of time that I spend like looking at passwords and like dealing with like password management. And yeah, I know there's apps for that now, but they don't all solve all the issues. It's like, it's a painly ass. There's two factors stuff. I get it. It's securities protecting this. I don't want all my shit taken. But like, damn. How could that happen? In 2024. Can we solve the password stuff? Can we use retina? Like something that's only identified by us. You know, I'd probably give a blood sample to like in the morning, like a finger prick. Most people are babies about that. I don't care about this. Give me that finger prick. If I could, if that would give me clear unlimited passwords for the week, I'll prick the finger. Oh my gosh. I would not. I would not. And also, I need all of your passwords too. So I can't be picking your finger every time I need you to sign into something. Oh, damn it. Let me figure that out. But, but yeah, no, I mean, that's honestly my only hang up. And it's just like, I just need to sit down for 10 minutes and do it. But, you know, I have other things going on. You got to do it. Like, when you wake up in the night, you need to like, you know, and you can't go back to sleep. At least you do something productive. Yeah, exactly. Get in on that. Exactly. Well, what I've been working on every time I wake up and pick up my phone is I have a client right now. That I'm really honed in on growing their social media. So every time I log in anything, I'm just like trying to grow. We'll allow that. We'll allow that. I keep the bills paid. Well, this will be allowed. What's happening in the news? So a few different things looks like the big grocery store companies are sewing each other. Albertsons and Kroger, they were going to do a merger. And it sounds like according to this article from NBR on Tuesday, a federal district court judge in Oregon blocked the two 24.6 billion dollar deal. Just basically saying it would monopolize the grocery industry and reduce competition, which would harm shoppers as soon as. So that was on Tuesday as soon as that merger was blocked by the judge Albertsons abandoned the merger and battle lawsuit against Kroger. So interesting. You know, we don't even really have Kroger's or Albertsons around here. Like the Kroger's in other parts of South Carolina Albertsons might be, but I don't think so. So this like I'm speaking like from pure like local like impact. Very little. I do understand these are two of the largest chains. I, you know, who was but what's your reaction to this? Like do you think they should block it? I mean, we had an Albertsons where I lived in California and it was fine. It says Albertsons owns Safeway and Vaughn's Kroger owns Ralph's Harris teeter Fred Meyer and King shoppers. So you might recognize some of those names. So I think that's where it's more impactful. Kroger does own a bunch and the other names that's right. I don't know how it's messing up my Harris teeter now. I'm not jamming. So all right. This does impact me. Damn it. I don't know. The whole competition argument is a hard one to wrap your head around. And I do think choice is a good thing. I would need to see the list of like all grocery stores across the country. All the brand names that fall under each one of these if there's obviously Kroger has multiple. And think about what that would mean. Yeah. Well, I don't like the government getting involved in business for the most part. And here's what their argument for the merger was that they could only together only as emerged conglomerate, Kroger and Albertsons. Only then would they be able to survive competing against Walmart, Costco, Amazon and all of those. Yeah. And that's a good point. I mean, Amazon and Walmart between dot com and brick and mortar for Walmart is they have such scale. So to say that this, you know, puts them in some competitive advantage over them is hard to believe. I mean, who has more scale than Amazon or Walmart? Yeah. I don't think this is where I'd have to get into the data a little bit more. And but now that they're like throwing mud at each other so fast. I don't know that most people have a lot tolerance for it. And it's like, it just seems so fucking petty. Well, it is interesting here at the end of this article. It says the FTC case prevailed in US district court delivering a big win to the outgoing Biden administration, who made tougher scrutiny of Rogers, a central plank of their administration. Yeah. Let's see. I would be curious what like Trump's position. This is something tells me what to thought it being more pro business and probably more thoughtful of that, that Walmart, Amazon, everything else, reality. So we'll see where it goes. I think we can all agree that groceries cost too much for the most part. So anything they can get it cheaper. If I, here's how I would pragmatically, I am for this or against this if it will lower grocery costs. You tell me which side it is. I'll support that because hey, we can't do what the independent center is trying to do. And that's further the American dream. If our grocery costs keep going up, we talk about the American dream a lot. And I don't know. And I consider we're more well off than most Americans, but we feel it. I mean, it's expensive. I bought, I got the grocery store. I feel like I walk in and it's like my, I got a $75 bill like just to grab the shopping cart. Oh, yeah. I can't get out of there. I have four things in the cart. It's like 43, 79. What? Yeah, I went into the grocery store last week. And the brain of mayonnaise that I like to buy is almost $9 for a container. And so I sat there and I was like, hey, I have a coupon for this. Let me find it. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Like this is crazy. Like I'm having a coupon, but get my groceries cheaper. And I feel like we are definitely living the American dream. And even then it's like, they're, it's still tight. I ain't too proud of these coupons. Especially, I'm not pulling out a 50 cent coupon. But I see $4 or $4 or $3 or $4 off. I'll put that in my pocket. I mean, you know, here's what will happen. I'm not too proud to use it. I'm fucking forget it every time. I walk out of the store or get home. And I'm digging my pocket or whatever I did with it. That's how it gets you. You know, if not the habit of like, I don't have to keep hand. You remember that woman, they'd be in line with the shop of store? They'd bring out the wallet. You know, like that thing. Full of coupons. Like a book. And you know, I was probably, I haven't seen that a long time. But I would probably, I didn't make fun of that. I was more annoyed because like, I said, oh, God, we got a way. Don't hurt a user. Well, I didn't, it was not judging. It was more dislike. Yeah. We all want to get through the line as fast as possible. Yeah, it's going to be me. Yeah. I think that's up there. It adds up. So whatever brings grocery store costs down lower, I will vote for that side. We'll just keep it that simple. Yep. The American Dream feels increasingly more complex than 2024. Yeah, hopefully gets easier in 2025. We'll see. If it will, if independent center has anything to do with it, go check out our partner, independentcenter.org. Again, it's not about the right. It's not about the left. It's not like blue. It's not about red. All that shit. No, that matters. Here's what matters. All the matters is that policy impacts your pocketbook in a positive way. And they're helping bring studies, surveys, voter data that kind of remove all the party bullshit and bring it to the people, which is what we need. Go to independentcenter.org center for that newsletter. You'll be thankful that you did. And let's get the politics out of the way. Let's get the policies at the forefront. What's next? Elon Musk, who we talked about, I think last week on weekly business news that we were talking about him not getting this paycheck. And then now we're talking about this week, he has surpassed the $400 billion net worth mark. Wow. Yeah, so this is mostly due to space X. You know, it says, well, this is an article from NBC News and the value in Tesla has gone up. It's Musk's privately held stake in space X that has catapulted his wealth beyond this threshold of $400 billion. It says that space X is the most valuable private startup in the world. Geez. I mean, in one way, I'm like, why is it worse than once than another way I get it? Because space is sort of the next frontier and where a lot of money is spent and a lot of security with like US. I don't get it. I mean, I think it's back to a lot of the technology, the propulsion, rocket propulsion, all that stuff. I think the, I don't know, patents and everything that goes into whatever it takes. And the fact that, I don't know, maybe we are going to colonize somewhere one day. And it's hard to know the economics though of why it's so valuable. Like, where is the revenue made? That's past my pay grade. I know, I think it's contracts with the government. And the fact that the government and NASA are pretty much relying on space X now in a lot of ways. And you got to also remember being one trip up, baby, it's like 10 million. It costs a lot of money to bring all that together. And all the fuel, everything else that gets, I mean, you talk about up and smoke like jokingly. But like, is there anything more up and smoke than a rocket ship taking off? It's just like, when it's all the money that's spent making that happen. But we don't realize all the satellites, all the stuff that keeps us secure. It's a lot of stuff that happens in space with that we're probably a little myself, certainly included ignorant too. Yeah. Keep us protected and control some of our military stuff. So I can't totally get my head around what makes it worth 300 billion or whatever. But it's crazy. It's hard for me to even like imagine what like people way smarter than me have figured out like how to put satellites up there and like control all sorts of things. Yeah. They might be one sitting all these crazy drones everywhere. I said, that stuff's crazy. Like I understanding how the most of the old country in the world has things flying around that we don't know who and what it is. Yeah. Come on now. We got all this technology. You can't. And we can't shoot those. I mean, I know it's illegal like shoot a drone down, I think. No. I think it is. I airspace. You can't. You're not like for me or you to shoot a drone down. I think it's illegal. But the government can shoot one of those things like get out there and shoot it down and take it apart and figure out where it came from. So the drones. So numerous sightings of drones have been reported hovering all over New Jersey. Is that what you're referencing? Yeah. Okay. So local and federal law enforcement have worked together to find some answers, but it's still like kind of a mystery. I hadn't heard of this. Yeah. It's crazy. And they're all over it, but it's they and I read an article like right before we came in, I was debating bringing it up, but we kind of were talking about spaceships and satellites and all that stuff. So it read they assume now that it's adversarial. I'm like, great. Is this the same thing that happened with that balloon? Remember? Yeah. I felt like we never got all the answers on that balloon either other than it was China and shutdown and somehow it was drifting over a weather balloon. Shooting shooting down a drone is illegal. See? I told you. Yeah. Because you know why? You know why I know? I got my shotgun out to shoot one out those over our house a couple weeks ago. It was because we had a huge parade here in Greenville and there was one that was just hovering over our house because we're right downtown. And it was bothering me being right in my sort of airspace over my house. And I went out there. I was going to shoot it. And my wife quickly corrected me and said, you know, it's illegal to shoot a drone now. I'm like, you're you're kidding, right? It's kind of crazy that that's illegal, especially on your own property because they can be they have cameras on them. Exactly. And they, but I guess I mean, I don't in the air. So that would be actually the argument. But I'm like, well, what keeps something weird is from just flying your drones right up in your shit. You know, like, or what if you have like a property out somewhere? If I had a property out somewhere, let's just say my wife would stop me if I didn't live in downtown Greenville. Let's just say that drone would have seen about a thousand pieces. I would have been like, kids, you got to get for Christmas. It's called a jigsaw puzzle. It's 1500 pieces. Oh, look, it's a DJI drone. You just got to put it back together. Yeah. It's like flying up to my house, like sitting like 30 feet up. And I'm like, I don't know. I knew he wasn't like careless about anything we were doing. And we were doing nothing but sitting inside watching TV. But I heard it. And then. But still. I'm like, watch it around your house. Take it. I might have been. But you know, I gave him a little show. I was thinking about shotgun out. Oh, God. Okay. Sort of. But no, no one used that visual. Yeah, I know. Shotgun. I didn't hate this. Now I'm like 25 pounds around here. I got a one pack. Come on now. Oh, gosh. The, uh, but yeah, that drone stuff in New Jersey, they, uh, it's not blow your mind that that we don't know what that is or who's causing it. It's a little weird. Yeah. And that the FBI is saying, like, Hey, if you have any information, please report it to us. You're the FBI. You're supposed to know. Like. Come on, man. Sit flying around. Oh, me. But luckily, Elon, back to the old articles were 400 billion. Congratulations. I was worrying about where his next billion was going to come from and. Good for him, man. It's a lot of fucking. I mean, what do you can do with 400? I would take. I was telling Sawyer before we launched. I would take one of those. Yeah. One bill. One bill. You'd be all right. Yeah. A hundred, a hundred million. Was it? No, it was a million. Is what it was. You wouldn't even notice. Yeah, you wouldn't even notice. Not, you know, it's a million here or a million there. A lot of money. That's why we'll be doing. That's how much money there is to be made. You know? Like, that's why this cracking app is going to do it. You know, we're going to a billion, baby. It's that. Or I mean, for all of our listeners out there, there's so many different ways to make a million and to launch, you know, businesses or drive your business forward or for X to your business in 2025. Yes. And we know marketing agency that cannot put that. Oh, yes. We do. Radical.com. But you know what? Do you know how we're able to do it? Because we stay energized. You know how we say energize? Exponent. Exponent. Exponent. Hey, this isn't energy. This is fusion energy. You notice, we're talking rocket ships. We're talking nuclear power. And we're talking fusion energy. Zero-sugar plant power, adaptogens, neutropics, electrolytes, all the stuff you want. None of the stuff you don't. X marks the spot. Exponent. This is the sector C. They got all the coolest names. sector C here. We got eclipse. Everyone's favorite. It's the blue ones. At the office. Like blue. Raspberry or something. This is lemon, lemon arms. We try those new flavors on air. I'm ready for this. Organized. We're talking the other day. If there's new flavors to come out. That's strawberries, lemon stuff, whatever. All kinds of new stuff. They can't be given away trade secrets. But all kinds of flavors coming out. And again, the best part is, and I've been bad about this. So, you know, I drink a lot of energy drinks. I just don't like coffee really. And so, got to get that pep. But you need to be healthy. Don't need all the bad stuff. Got to stop. Read the labels. My good friendship. Molly tells me that. You know, you got to do that. So, you read the labels. And you go to Exponent. DrinkExponent.com. As well as on Instagram. Go give them some love. And look, I only promote the products that I like. And that I actually use. And there's no bigger user of energy drinks than this guy. So, where do you think all this energy comes from? Oh, I want one of those right now. I had a ice cold orange one yesterday afternoon. And it just really helped me get rid of it. Is there some vodka in it? No, it was at work. Was there some vodka in it? What's your point? Yes. Well, that's the final article today. A growing number of US adults are lacking literacy skills. It's kind of a scary one coming to us from NBC News. It says, according to a study of adults by the National Center for Education Statistics, 28% of US adults now perform at the lowest measured literacy levels. Up 19% in 2017. Let's see. Means we're using our phones too much. Yeah, I think that's what it is. Or this to YouTube nation, right? You're watching everything and not reading anything. And so... You know, if you're watching YouTube, that's fine. Just make sure you're watching the Radcast Network YouTube channel. That's right. You got to look that up. You got to see all the shows on our network. But I will say my wife would probably... Her school like ranks like one of the top 10 or 20 in the whole state. So she would call that out while also going this doesn't surprise her, I'm sure. With just... It's sad though. Yeah. Like, why is it... It makes you want to know what the underlying reasons for this. Is it because of some variable? You know what I would consider? And I don't have all of the research on this. But how much of this is because of immigration. So maybe they are not illiterate. Maybe they just English is their second language. And so maybe they're scoring low on these tests. Because it says that those at the lowest levels struggle with tests. Like reading instructions, filling out forms, or managing simple calculations. So I'd be curious to see if there's any data on that. Yeah. It said whether when asked about potential causes for the decline, car stated that it's difficult to say. So for the reason... Pun intended. He didn't have the answer. He couldn't read it out loud. Oh, sorry. That's the worst clue. I know. It's like I read that. I had a double take. Like even I said it out loud. I was like, is this Joe. Did he say pun intended after it? Like, what's the reason for the decline? You'll read about it later. I couldn't really read the report. Oh, geez. Who knows. So the... I do think unrelated related. The form and exactly how and what we learned that better match the world we live in today is something I could get behind. I have had this discussion with my wife. And it's not because I feel like what she does and what teachers and administrators are doing every day is not highly important. I just think there could be a better alignment to what are the skills and learning that you need in the classroom. I think it's somewhat related to this. I mean, literacy and understanding the language though is a little different than what I'm suggesting. But it might go hand in hand in some ways because we evolve and maybe we need to teach it differently. I don't know. That's passed my pay grade on how to teach it. I just think what we learn though needs to evolve with where AI and all the other things that are happening are taking us so that we are productive. Oh, I totally agree. And I think that there's... We have so much data and we have so much information and there's no excuse for us not to be reforming the way that we're teaching things. And giving students the best, you know, access to information and access to help and, you know, mental health resources and, you know, all of these different like resources that we have full access to with. You know, chat chat and AI and everything that exists now and just making sure that, you know, young people also have that access and know where to find help and know, you know, how to how to learn maybe for their own personality or their learning style. I think that there is so many ways that we can adapt to better serve our children. So I have big opinions on this. Yes, agreed. Oh, lastly, I wanted to say today, you know, it's the biggest news story in the US has been the shooting and killing of the United Healthcare CEO. And that story is so, you know, we do one time a week. When we move to more, you know, multiple day news story, we'll probably cover more of that. There's definitely an impact, business wide, culturally, you know, everything becomes political today, stuff like that. But the reality is that story is kind of unfolding so moment by moment. I don't want to come on here when we record this and it's not live and news already be out because it seems to be a very developing story. And so, but my own thoughts are just some of the language and the reactions from certain news people and certain people about like in some way, like thinking this is okay because they, you know, the healthcare system is broken and like all these things that taking another person's life and not honoring that in some way is just a spicable behavior and unacceptable. And I think this guy has come, if this guy that's Luigi, whoever that got apprehended ends up being the one he's clearly lost to screw somewhere and because nothing has made sense from what I've seen coming out on his background. But yeah, but but as a society to in any way, not acknowledge the crime when someone gets gunned down on the street and the severe like just the humanity lack of humanity in that act is just unforgettable. Well, I totally agree and you know Brian Thompson is the man who who passed away who was killed, you know, condolences to his wife and his family. I know he was married with young children, I think, or young-ish children. And I totally agree and you know, I saw articles on it and you know, I would go through the comments section of those articles and the comments were very inappropriate on people saying like, okay, what companies like CEO is next or, you know, just making comments on healthcare companies that they were saying that this should happen to them as well. Yeah, I mean, reprehensible. And so yes, thoughts with his family and you know, with the authorities that are trying to get this handled in the right way and the learn what we need to learn. But again, some things, there'll be things unfolded by the time this episode even goes live. So I don't want to pretend, you know, that we have the latest and greatest other than it's unacceptable. And a true bad moment for us when people are getting, I mean, CEO is a company getting gunned down in the street. I mean, what is the word of civilized nation? And I know crimes happen every day, but this is unacceptable. It needs to be handled swiftly in the right way. So we'll see where it goes, but that's all I got today. Anything else today for Brianna? Nothing for me. Great. Well, happy holidays. Keep saying it. Just say, hey, you're halfway through December almost already. You got 12 days. If you're watching this or listening on the 13th.
