Ralph Lauren Debuts Fortnite Collab!: Weekly News 11.4.22

Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast here is the Radcast news Friday, November 4th, 2020, 22, Christina Aussie. Hello. Your final day. I know. For now, real day. Yes. Yeah. What are we going to call it? Parting is such sweet sorrow. Only for a season. Yes. Yes. I can't believe we're in November. I know. It's November. Oh, you know, I know it's in November. Christmas. He's sick. Oh, no. Uh, uh, offered family. Two of five Christmas trees are already up. Yes. All Christmas decorations were out. We had a Christmas tree. Nicole is a queen. We had a Christmas tree up in the front window. It was just a white one. It was not fully decorated yet, but it was up in the front window

looking a lot of Christmas already at the office. So, uh, if you want to get into the Christmas spirit early, just stop there and it offered 70 degree weather. Yeah. Uh, Nicholas Weaver. What's up, ma'am? I know the much taking a daisy. Yeah. Always. Just flip flopping and around. That's right. The deepest flop today. Those slides. Yeah, recently shine. Look how white they are. Hey. Wow. Do you wear crocs? I used to. Now I've switched over to the slides. Yeah. I got you. Yeah. All the cool kids. I don't, I'm not into my, my kids like the, the crocs of socks thing. And I just, yeah, I wore crocs when I was 11. And I can't bring myself to go back. I had a moment of weakness for about a one summer. This was probably by 10 years ago.

It was a while ago. And I was like, oh, I can get into this vibe. They're comfortable on anything else. And then I think I took a hard look in the mirror. I don't know. I'm like, yeah, these things are freaking ugly. I got sunburned. I had like little, like the little holes from my crocs. Yeah. It was unpleasant. Well, you know, I don't have that issue. But they were just ugly. They're awful. They're so ugly. Yes. So ugly. But it is November and November four. So it's, it's coming quickly. We got Thanksgiving though. Yes. In a few weeks. So we're ready for that. And, uh, been a lot of just wackiness going on in the news, huh? Always. They're always. Yes. Like, and I, I'm gonna get on my soapbox for one minute. So, and you probably see this

on my Instagram feed. Like the end of the day, I think people spend a lot of time on the stuff and get sideways and offended and all that. Well, they don't have enough going on in their life or something. Like focus on what you can control. Like how much energy are you expelling on being offended by what someone says or what someone does versus just getting your shit done that you can control? And I just feel like we got a lot of that going on right now where I look, I don't like there's some terrible shit going on there. I it's not that I can donate. But like every ounce of energy I apply towards that gets has nothing to do with my advancement as a human being and or as a person. And so that's my only thing in this is like,

you know, we can all be offended and you can say, you know, show your opinion with your voting and who you do. Oh, great. Wonderful. But if you're just spending half your day being offended by this side or that side or what Elon does or what Kanye does, no matter how despicable it is, you can certainly stand up for it. But just I don't know. I think it's a bad aid for you not really getting your own shit done. My opinion. Hot take. Yeah. I'm just telling you like, if you're spending half your day worried about things you can't control, then we know what the problem is. In other Radcast news, Matt Alonzo award winning filmmaker came along this past Tuesday.

look that up. I don't know. He's a screw with me or what. But next week, Michael do all real estate extraordinaire builder extraordinaire talks about how to his whole life story. And really he's built, you know, almost a hundred million dollar company in the construction business straight from doing new construction. He talks about the need that there's a there's a lot of data out there that's confusing. But at the end of the day, there's still a gigantic need for housing in the US. And he was really approachable. It's from Florida, the good guy, family guy. And enjoy talking to Michael, give some investment tips and ways and a lot of like entrepreneurial tips. He's, you know, down earth, relatable, some actionable things. I really enjoy talking with him.

That comes out next Tuesday. Then you'll be seeing a lot of the content from the Think Billions event coming. You've teased a good bit of that on your Instagram stories. Yes. Yes. Yes. We've got quite a bit. Mr. Mr. Weaver over there finished a pretty sick cut from the event that was next level. You'll be seeing that out. We're going to let our gracious hosts get some of that content out there. But we'll share more of it. And then a lot of the episodes that we recorded out there were going to be doing slicing and dicing in different ways. So you'll see releases on that. And again, I would classify all this that really actionable like stuff that real entrepreneurs have done and tasks and growth and like their journey.

So I think it'll be really impactful for people to kind of hear how these people have started and built businesses from the ground up in a lot of different ways and a lot of different categories. Yeah. So that'll be coming out in the weeks to come. It's going to be on lookout for that. Exciting stuff. Always be on lookout for our sponsor branded builds. Get that Christmas shopping done early. Yes. Brandavills.com. Use promo code radcast 20 anytime. Get 20% off your entire purchase. And I say it every week, but I keep putting on my sweatshirts in the morning that are all, you know, a little warning. I think I'm going to order myself a new sweatshirt, but I know we've got new ones coming. They're coming. And I was hoping they figured this week, but it's like Christmas day.

hard to buy for, I'll admit that I'm a hard to buy for a dude. You give me a half brand, a flat bill, like trucker cap from brand from brand and bills.com with one of their cool unique styles. Just kind of hip or whatever. Happy camper. That's a 20 to 30 dollar gift. Hey, nice and easy. And most if you're with a hat, you know, if you're wife or your husband or hat people or whatever, I'm telling you, this is an easy like stocking stuff for really great gifts and easy to please because you don't want a new nice fitting hat.

Got some social media holidays. Yes. Today, Friday, November 4th is National Community Service Day. This, I mean, you know, Clayton's in on this like, I don't know what it's called. I'm forgetting beta club. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's an all smart kid. Yeah. I don't know if I was out there and made one of them. I don't know. I wasn't, I was a no case student. I'm not great to forget, but I still know he's like an overachiever.

The love to see it. Love to see it. And he's been doing like all this community service stuff, which is cool. Like I'm proud of him. I mean, I'm, we should be doing more of him. Yeah. You know, but it does make you stop and think like, all right. How can I do? Yeah. What can I do? You know, and I mean, take the focus off. I mean, the fall for or something. Greenville. Fall for Greenville. Not fall for. Oh, yeah. Hands on Greenville. Hands on Greenville. Yes. Thank you. Hog day. Hog day. But I mean, is there something universal for National Community Service Day that you're supposed to do? Or is it just like awareness that you cycle? It's what I did. Okay. I like keep it in my car. My car was like a trash heap. It's just like all of my cardboard

decent newly. It's definitely dated. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I remember it once you showed me the mask. Yeah. I don't know why. Okay. I remember that. Yes. I mean, that's pretty deep. I mean, all I heard there was blowing up shit. Ridiculous freedom. Yeah. What an assassination plot. Blow out the whole freaking Parliament. Seems a little extreme. Just a touch. You know, sometimes you got to make your point. I guess Guy Fox Day. Guy Fox Day. It kind of rolls off the tone pretty well though. You know, Guy Fox. I can't remember his real name. That was like his alias. Yeah. But fucker. Me the fuckers. I think the fuckers. Christmas movies. Isn't that a Christmas movie? Yeah. That's my thought. Sure. You know, I mean, I think in a Christmas version

So this Kitty G story. So I'm probably 1989. Like CDs first came like CD players were first coming out. You know, late 90s or late 80s or early 90s. Sure. And my parents, we were firmly like lower middle class. We were not we did not have like we had stuff. But we were not like poor, poor, but we did not have a lot of money. Sure. My parents that spurs on. We had family vacations. They had two cars. We had clothes. Yeah. One of a whole lot of there wasn't like go carts and sure. Shit that my kids. Lots of video games. Yeah. Like it was just, you know, we had what we needed. But daddy had a sales job and started making a little bit more money. Like one of his first

brothers was the CD player system in the house. Nice. All bows and Ankyo, which was pretty high in at the time. The Ankyo kind of went downhill eventually. And I'll never forget like, you know, they had my parents have a very collected music taste from four tops to freaking, you know, shag music. Yeah. Anything and everything. But my mom had this Kenny G CD that she got. And it was very like, you know, it was a, I don't know, 14, 13, whatever. I like started digging that Kenny G because it was like turned up on those speakers like really loud. Yeah. Yeah. It just sounded to me because he was so freaking good. Yeah. And it was like, you had I had heard that quality

written all over it. Yeah. I would get down with this. But again, hyper-specific. Bittersweet chocolate with almonds day. November 7th. Where do you buy such thing? I mean, I would imagine like a whole foods or one of those, you know, elite grocery stores, fresh market, something artisanal. Yeah. Bittersweet that I won't be able to have any. Or you can like make your own, I guess, like, you know, Christmas candy, chocolate park. Yeah. Too much work. Too much labor. Yeah. Not worth it. Yeah. Maybe Aldi will. So Aldi's got some. Aldi would probably have it too. See, they're a great for us. Yeah. Aldi, Peter Joes. Aldi, man. Same company. Do you know that? Yes. But do you like Aldi? I've not been to an Aldi in years. Are you kidding me? I'm a Harris Tedergau.

Because it's so close to my like, come on, Aldi. My apartment. You know, like, dude, that is the place. I prefer the teeth. Random shit. Ever. And it's awesome. My when I took German in college, my German professor would always bring us like, we have stable and offered family that they come from Aldi. My wife stops there. Not every trip. But maybe like, sure. Once or twice a month. Do you have like a lot of quarters? Oh, she does. You know, like to get that shopping cart. You know, it's weird. I mean, I guess they don't end up with cans. And I'm being rolled around on Community Service Day. There you go. Can have that. Yeah. It's not an Aldi cart. November 8th. It is election day in the US midterms. Get out there and vote.

going to set this up with with a reminder. First, social media is free. These people have spent billions of dollars to create these platforms and they're free. Yes, they run ads on them, but you don't have to use them. No one's forcing you to use these platforms. You can go and watch TV or you can go read a book. You can go live under a rock. You don't have to use these platforms. No one's making you use them, but someone's invested money to create them and they've been free up until now. I don't like everything Elon Musk does. I think he's kind of kooky weird sometimes, but he's fucking successful for a reason. And if he wants to charge for his platform that he bought

that someone else built, then he has every right to do it. Now he may run off a lot of people. I think it's silly that people would run off to not spend eight dollars a month if your livelihood is, you know, time or something. Yeah, if you're a writer or perspective, but like no one there's no like the entitlement that people have to these platforms that they be free. Even if there's ads on them, you're not entitled to get a free app or use of this. So I don't understand, you know, all the uproar around that. Do I think it's the smartest business move? I don't know yet. I'm not smart enough to know what the runoff rate will be. It's dumb as I think it is for people to run off. I don't know, but he has every right to try it and to see what

happens. And I don't think it's a terrible thing to have a little democratization of the platform. As long as it just doesn't go to crap with a bunch of conspiracy theories and unproven facts. That's my only fear, but still his platform. He bought it. Right? Yeah. And it just launched this week yesterday maybe. Yeah. When that went through. Yeah. So we'll see. I mean, they do have to make, look, it's not a company that's really making money right now. Like it's, I think it's breaking even or making a little bit. He's gotten into some some issues with some ads, which is what we'll talk about next. Yeah. And I have a opinion here. I think there's an opportunity here, but I'll let you tee it up.

are there because everybody's saying, I'm not going to use them or whatever, but everybody wants to see what happens on this train wreck. So whatever it is. So there's people there. So your ads can be seen. And you know, like it doesn't mean you're selling your soul to the devil. I do think Elon is not an idiot. He doesn't want hate speech. I just don't believe he wants there to be free speech. I don't think he wants hate speech and conspiracy galore. He knows that's not going to like make the platform survive. I mean, so again, I don't agree with every tactic. This is less of, you know, an acknowledgement or an agreement with him. I just think it's an opportunity for brands to get on the platform and be seen maybe more horribly if some of these larger brands pull off.

Coca-Cola hasn't come out gone. We're not, you know, there hasn't been a firm announcement. What I'm just saying is if you start to see that, then I, and nothing like truly else happens that like warrants that other than just speculation or again, grandstanding. Yeah. But then I think that's your opportunity to get on the platform. You have less competition. Sure. And there are more eyeballs on it. I can't, I would be shocked if the last three to four weeks, not the highest ever, because there were moments in time when Twitter was higher. But like, but the last three to four weeks, I would guess are in the highest levels of viewership and you and use usage of the last like year to two years. Sure. I'd be shocked if it wasn't. It's possible. Which is just, it's

just, it's only every, it's much attention. Yeah. Yeah. People are talking about it a lot. That's mainstream. Like people that, like my dad, you know, my dad's on the Twitter. But my dad's talking about Elon Musk and Twitter and baby glancing at it. That means a lot more people like my dad that never get on it or on it. So using actually, as of October 26th, Twitter is losing its most active users, which is based on internal documents from, from the brand. So it's being talked about, but yeah, we'll see about that. But users are not active users. I wonder if that means if that accounts everyone that has already been on it. Like, I need to see more of those data. Data lies and tells the truth sometimes. Elon Musk tweeted about it. Just interesting.

are, I mean, Hogan's into it, Hudson's into it. Clayton's definitely lagging. Nash is six. So, but he started to get into it. Yeah. And polo is not on the radar. Sure. Like, I think they might accidentally own one polo shirt or hand me down from like year 1984. bought at the thrift store or something. Yeah. But you know, they, they need to be doing things like right, right to not just be a, you know, such a classic. It's never gone out. It's just always been so, but that polo was so iconic. Yeah. And then I don't know who it was, but like, one of the cheap brands, like polo stadium club, right? Right. Right. That even throws me off to this day. I'm like, I think I bought one once, you know, like despite 15 years. Yeah. I'm like,

oh, nice. This is, you know, because I'm having polo's quality stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And then he like, oh, no. They're like, uh, polo stadium club or whatever. I've been due. I've been due. Got me. And I didn't really care necessarily, but it was less than I cared that it was the horse, but like, I think it was, I forget what it was, but it started falling apart. Right. I was like, what? Then I really looked at tag and I was like, I've been lied to. Got me. But, you know, I mean, oh, when I grew up, man, that polo, man, that thing was, that was hot. There was some clout. You got that, you got that polo cologne in the green bottle. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I said, I'm like, nice that one.

Wonder why people were walking away from you. So potent. My dad goes, son, you bathing that stuff or what? Yeah. That wasn't brother with axe. Scott was terrible. So terrible. Oh, yeah. No, it's just smart. I don't make sense. I, I'd love to see the date on these things, you know, but it's where they need to be. Right. Because you want my, you need my kids talking about polo. Right. Just stay relevant. And I mean, I used them as a proxy for kids in general. Next. And I actually skipped this one. Mikhailov Ultras, Spotlight's first woman in the Boston marathon for their empowerment campaign. The brand will launch train like a pro marathon runner, a platform for runners with training tips from coaches. The effort follows similar gender

marathons, no, just in running one, but people who run them matter, respect. Yes. I'll do a fight. What's your opinion on this? We got an opinion here. Well, I like Mikhailov. Are you Ultra guy? Yeah, I'm wondering, culture, and that what we have in the cake. From the cake, I was going to say, yeah, that's what we got. Absolutely it is. See, we're supporting this already. We didn't even know it. Didn't realize it. Yeah. I can't believe you know, like Ultra though. I just, I'm, I'm not a huge, do you like craft beer? I don't love. So I have, I don't like super hoppy beers. My favorite, like I typically go for sours are my favorites. So I like more fruity, not super hazy. Yeah. I can't stand IPAs. Oh, no, too hoppy. Yeah. You like hoppy other neck.

a mile, like half a half marathon. They're teen miles. Yeah. Even that stresses me out. But I think like, that's a little more attainable. I could do that. You know, sounds doable. Right. But look, I think Michelin Ultra does a really good job. They did a really good job of like, they created Ultra has become a standalone brand in a lot of ways. And I think they've done a good job of tying back the benefit of low carb low calorie to functional things like this and exercise and fitness and other things. I see them associated with all kinds of stuff and food sometimes. So, I think it's a brand they've done a good job of creating that connective tissue between things that make sense for what their product is. Right. You'd be surprised that you'd take,

oh, I guess most companies do that. Well, not all of them are good with like connecting those dots. Yeah. And I do think Ultra does a good job. I feel like I see them. I saw them somewhere. They had like a standee at the grocery store. And it was like next to like healthy foods or something. Uh-huh. Because it was close to the rear section, but it was kind of like they couldn't have it. I think like at the front of the store necessarily, but it was with that association. I was like, that was intentional. I get it. I see what you're doing. Yeah. So, uh, hey, has off to them. Yeah. You know, you can get anybody minorities, whoever, get more people doing marathons. I imagine it's good for even though I think sometimes it's like

Yep. I get it. So my irony there in that, then you want to go get on Roblox. Revenge living. I can't wait to get back on Roblox so I can get my, you know, exx back. Put my goggles on. I'm going to do it in the metaverse. My metaverse. That's the revenge. The revenge life has the metaverse. Like you're getting of like, I don't know. I've been met up from. Yeah. Oh, meta wings. I had those. But there's that's been a lot of pushback along lines of what I was saying or this stuff that like just aren't ready to get in the game all day. You know, like get the goggles on and I don't know. I don't know. I was real. Yeah. You know, that's a deep statement there. In real life is real. But that on a t-shirt.

Yes. But I totally do think that they have an insight here. Clearly, they did some research. Where people are making up for the lost time a little bit, you know, like, and I don't, it's just a different every market depending on how I've sat down, how locked down, how much people miss. In some places it was, you know, two years almost. Well, and it's so heavily affected the fashion industry because people were doing so much remote work. Like, regardless of where you were located, people weren't dressing up and they didn't have the need for uniforms, you know, regardless of how long your area was affected by legislation, like the fashion industry took a huge hit with all of this. Yeah. So I think it's a

making things harder to do in not real life as it is in real. Okay. Let's, let's, let's pause. Can we just use AR so that I can see what something looks like on me before I wear it? Yeah. Clap to that. That's great. I mean, I have the same problem because I have a big head of a big dude and I have crappy eyes and I hate going to lens crafters stand and what it's like too many people, not enough choices. There's so be inexpensive. And this is like something kind of like tennis shoes. Sometimes I want to I need to see him on my feet. This technology is there. This is what we use it for real things, right? And like you see the glasses? Okay, great.

I would love to do that because my biggest problem is I see a pair on the wall or someone else has on. I like that. Yeah. But until you put them on my big head, like, you don't really know. The proportion's not quite right. It's like sunglasses too. I'll see a guy go buy a light pair of sunglasses. Oh, those are cool. And then I go to the store and put them on like, damn, I got the gigantic head. Like, you know, I think the little monocles Nicole will be like, honey, I mean, you have my support, but no, but no, those are your heads too big. I'm like, really? Thanks for the honesty. Because I haven't looked into the mirror. I've got them on and she's

looking at me. And I see the look on her face. And I'm like, you're easily disappointed before I can't even look in the mirror. That look in the mirror. It's like, whoa. She was right. A lack a lack. Where did these mini sunglasses come from? Oh, no, those are the areas. Wait, wait. It's not you. It's me. Yeah. So this makes sense. Yeah. And, you know, I'd love Snapchat. I just, I don't know. Snapchat just keeps fighting. Yeah, there's a call and fighting. I know people still use them a little bit, a little disappearing. You know what? That's all I can do. That's just all I imagine is about 16-year-olds, like Sharon needs. No, I remember when the app first came out. And my friend was explaining it to me. Oh,

snapping things or asking you how it's just like, yeah, I don't know. I think that's what this stuff got so easy to use. Like, people get comfortable. Right. Right. No, I, um, I give it to Snapchat. Yeah, this makes sense for them. But it's using the technology they've already come up with in different ways. And so it's cool. I'm in for it. I'm going to go, I'm actually going to go check this out because, you know, I'm always looking for like, yeah, sunglasses and eye glasses. Yeah. I'm supposed to wear them a lot more, but I have a hard time finding the exact ones. Yeah. I just got new contacts. And I was like, done, done, done, done. I had on a pair last night. And they were like, I was like, I got a headache. And I was like,

why don't I pay? Because they're squeezing on my big, big head. I can't wear mine for like three days in a row. I will get a massive headache. Yeah. So I know I agree. We'll see. There we have it. I have 40 minutes. Look at us go. What a way to go out. I know. Thanks for all your help. Indeed. Indeed. Thank you. In foul words of wisdom there. Thank you. You're right. Of course. Thank you. So kind. Slides. Slides are us over there. Slides. How are we doing? Yeah. You know, to find us with radcast.com search for AR Snapchat Elon Musk Elon Musk.
