This is right about now with Ryan Allford, 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. Yo, what's up? Welcome, about now. I'm Ryan Allford, your host. Today is May 24th, 2024. It's our weekly news show. We're taking the BS out of business, baby. It's all business. No bullshit because you don't need it and we don't want it. Speaking of no bullshit, my friend Chris Hansen down in the VK Lions. What's up, Chris? What's up, my man? Happy Friday. Are you doing? I'm good, man. Feel good about now powered by my good friends at branded bills. We'll talk a little bit more about them later. Chris and I have actually not been rocking our hats lately, but yeah, I got my back in style here. My Radcast or OG hat for our good friends at Brayda Bills. We'll talk a little more about them later, but it's been a good week, man. I'm pumped to be here. Blessed. We appreciate everyone out there for listening, making us number one in business and marketing on Apple. Number 75 in the US, all podcasts. We beat out. Killswifts. Killswifts, that's Travis Kelsey's show. Sitting at 80. We're officially above Killswift. Hey, we're making headwaves here, baby. It's a big deal. I know. And I like their show. No hate on those guys, but we appreciate everyone for listening. Keep listening. Keep telling your friends and leave us a review. We appreciate all that. It's been a good week in business. All kinds of shit happening out there. It might be rocking and rolling. You're here in May. It's heating up, I'm sure. Are you feeling like the swell of summer coming? Yeah, it's miserable. It's really hot. It's really hot. It's slowing down. The snowbirds are migrating back up north. So that's the upside. There's less traffic, but it's so well turned hot outside. Yeah, I bet it's forming up here in old South Carolina. South Kakalaki as we call it. And actually, we produce here at Greenville, South Carolina. It's a lovely place. Please. Yeah, that Greenville come visit. Don't live here, but come visit. But number four best places to live in the United States. Greenville, South Carolina. We're on every list, Chris. It's the words out, baby. I'm an OG. Born and raised right here. That's why I have my show here, my family here. I knew the secret. But now the secret's out. Yeah, you're ahead of the game. You're going to be Nashville soon. Yeah, it is mini Nashville, mini Austin. I'm across between all those. Yeah. The music scene starting to catch up here. There's the pretty cool music venues and stuff coming alive. I think we... That's the one they sort of lacked here a little bit. But I think it's getting a little better. It's pretty big. Like, scene, like places that are... We have like a big place where the big acts come in. 20,000, 30,000, whatever it is. Sure. The Bons de Cours Center. It used to be the Bollocks Center. And that's great for these huge artists. But we didn't really have the best, like, in between places. But a couple of those coming. So we'll get a lot, I think, better variety. And I've done better than our producer. Sorry, rice is ban. We've got to get some more venues for you, sorry. Live music. Underrated. Completely. We've underrated. I grew up with live music. And my dad's still in a band and plays around. But very few things I enjoy more than going and having to bear listening to live music. Supporting kind of the local music scene. I'm glad Greenville's starting to maybe get with it a little bit there. I feel like a used show. I think we went backwards. Like, we had a few locations like 20 years ago that were like the scene. Just like country music and kind of the in between artists. But I heard we got some pretty cool places opening. So I'm pumped about that. And it's been an interesting week in business, Chris. This wasn't on the show notes. But I did see like, I was looking at like the retail numbers. Loads and target. Numbers are off. Retail numbers. Down. Less retail. I don't know. I think the home, the lows home depot thing, home depot is off a little bit too. Makes sense to me because the housing market. There's not. You don't have this when you have lots of houses being bought and sold. People are always doing the DIY stuff, right? So when that slows down and maybe budgets are tighter and everything else on top of that. But you just don't have the influx of, okay, everybody want to put their little spin on their house, right? The DIY stuff is people are sitting still, which makes sense. You a DIY guy? I can be. I prefer not to now, but I'm in a condo, dude. I'm renting. So at this point, like, I'm not putting time or energy or money into what I'm living. Did you write it? The washing machine broke. I didn't try to fix it myself. I called fucking repairman. Wash your machines. You don't really mess around with. Yeah. That's a little bit advanced of a. What do you mess with the washing machine? Air filter project. You want to build a desk or something? I don't know. Building a desk. Would you don't have a yard? My mind be honest. Yeah. Like, we have the garden at home. Yeah. Exactly. Beard fruit this week. I made homemade salsa two nights go, Chris, from the garden. I really felt like a pilgrim or whatever. Garden and good advice. I would have something to share. You had a little pride afterwards. Yes. I was like, I don't know what I spent on this salsa and putting this garden together. Like, am I going to, am I going to bought it? It came from the ground in my yard. So, hey, I felt good about it. The yard is a table, bro. Yard to table, man. That's right. Behind the garage. I'm jealous. Ten by ten. Hot peppers, tomatoes. I didn't know I could do it. But it's actually, it's coming to life. The only thing I'm growing is a bamboo plant. And that's not bearing any food. Yeah. We had to clean my oxygen. I guess that's a plant. Hey, it is. It's bearing oxygen for you. But we had this little cherry tomato plant. I didn't usually, most of this stuff in South Carolina, like June, mid-June, you start really popping, like the garden stuff. But plant this little cherry tomato bush, whatever you call it, plant. I don't know. Anyway, that thing is putting it off like the more tomatoes. We pull seven or eight least cherry tomatoes off every day. It's growing like a wildfire. I'm like, maybe I should introduce into a contest or something. I don't know. You're like, is this normal? Is this normal? But I'm serious. But we just do a really good job at this. We had a bowl full of these cherry tomatoes. It was even mid-May. I'm like, hey. What are you doing with them? Is that what you're making the salsa? That's what I mean. I eat those in the salsa. Pretty tasty. Maybe you need to hop on a little like marinara. Try some Italian. Yeah. homemade Italian sauce. There's going to be a lot of tomato recipes. That is even count. We had these heirloom tomato plants. I think we're going to have 50 tomatoes a week, like when things start rolling. That's big, bro. Maybe you need the boys out of the farmers market. It's going to be on our street. We're going to be selling those things. Because we've got a lot of traffic right downtown. We're going to set up the old offer produce stand or something right there on the street. And be like, hey, fresh tomatoes. Downtown gravy. Radical fruit. Yeah. Yes. We got tomatoes coming. We got hot peppers. Cucumbers. Okra. Fried okra. Yes. You've got to get some fried okra. Everybody's going. Everybody's listening. If you're not in the south, you're going, what the hell are they talking about? Fried okra. Yeah. Yeah. But look, hey, I want to personally bring the DIY back. We've got to get home depot and lows back to the business, man. And get to get that guard. Hey, it's not too late. Plant your gardens. Get your shoes. A lot of people doing gardening now. Yeah. It's cool. We go out there with the kids. We look at it. And the coldest goes, how's your garden doing? I'm like, you see all those tomatoes crowding up the counter? Yeah. So I'm pretty proud about that. But back to the retail news. The target thing. That's surprising. I don't know. I feel like we're in this weird time, like right now, Chris. I feel like the economy is not bad. But it just feels like it's not awesome either. And we take the bullshit out of business here. Like we can look at all the data you want. I'm the one that told everyone that wasn't going to be 18 months ago. And everybody said, oh my god, we're going to do a depression. We're going to look and I said, no, we're not. And we didn't. So I pay enough attention and know what's going on. I look at the numbers. It's more just like sentiment. And then stuff like this. Like you see in the retail numbers on stores that have traditionally done well. And I just think this housing thing combined with the inflation is just just percolating into something. And I don't know that it's like a bad dip. But I don't think people are being a little more cautious. And eventually $9 loaves a breath. Bread catch up to you. And I think it's for a dozen eggs. Yeah. Exactly. So I don't know what all that means. But in the long term, I just think we're. We need to get that shit under control. And we need the housing market to start flowing again. That that that moves around a lot of money. And it really fuels a lot of the economy. So I think those. And that's the thing is like the negatives does kind of feeding itself. It's like the inflation is high. So the interest rates won't come down. It's like then people aren't spending. So the interest rates stay high. People with other houses. We need something. Bit of a holding pattern. It is. It's like we need something to kind of shake it up. But I think that's the shit. This kind of drive me crazy in the election. Like the election coming up. I just. I'm getting my earplugs ready, man. This is not good. Real drama fast. Yeah. Yeah. I just. Anyway. But it. I know. I think I might sit this one out a little bit. Now watch so much of it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Exactly. This one's interesting. First article of the day. Real article of the day. AI. And look. The AI shit is great. But this is. I have been saying this since the beginning, which I did. I never quite understood. Like this information is coming from somewhere. The chat pots. Like so. Who has the rights to that information? Even if it gets regurgitated. This from MSN.com. AI chat bots sucked up. Troves of data. Now copyright holders want a cut. Litigation is ongoing against AI companies in at least 20 cases. Most of them in California or New York. Some have brought by some of them have been brought by news organizations. Others involve authors trying to recover some income from the use of their stories. The case that legal experts are watching most closely. New York Times in late December against open. A case against open AI. The newspaper is seeking as much as 450 billion in damages. Claiming open AI and fridge its rights by using times articles to develop chat gpt. The complaint is distinct from others. And then it also accuses. The chatbot maker of engineering its products to reproduce times articles almost verbatim when prompted. The Times said the company spent months negotiating before it filed suit. Open AI said an emotion dismissed that the examples of regurgitation cited in the complaint were highly anomalous. And the bribe product of a bug in the chatbot also. Coating error guys. Coating error guys. We didn't need to. We didn't need to copy all your stuff. We did that massively benefited us. I think we should let them off the hook then. They've made how many billion dollars on their twenty dollar one thing. It's okay. Copy right away because you have a bug. It's understandable. I made a million dollars last year but I put a dollar on my tax term because I had a bug in my computer that took seven zeros off. And is that okay? Zero button wasn't working. This thing happened. Like I understand. I let them off. Really. Come on. Another lawsuit accuses Facebook and Instagram owner meta platforms of illegally copying books by the authors. Sarah Silverman and Richard Cadrie for its AI tools. So there's there's a lot to this article. I wanted to bring it up because AI is all over business and all this stuff is going on. But look. This look. You remember growing up Chris. I'm a little older than you. Just a little like six months. But. But you're going up when you'd write papers or type papers. What did you always you'd have to do something? And what would you have to do to your sources? You would have to cite your sources. And you should always say that. And because we weren't but we weren't profiting from them. We were just writing up papers and it was just to get great. We weren't like making money from them. But we had to at least cite them even when we were just using them. The example here though is a company is making billions of dollars. All of. Content that is generated by the remand your factoring. Making. Simflang engineering. Of those original works. The ingredients. If you went to the store and you wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies. Those cookies don't just get made. They're delicious. But you know what? You got to buy the flower. You got to buy the sugar. You got to chocolate chips. You got to pay for that shit. Because those ingredients are needed. Even if God. When put together in the right way. It's magic. Chocolate, gooey. Those cookies are delicious. And no. The flower and the sugar alone. It's not as good as a cookie. But you know what? It took that to get there. And guess what? When I go to the store. And I tried to leave. Not buying them because I go. I'm going to go make chocolate chip cookies with this shit. So I'm just going to take it for free. Because what I'm making is going to be so fucking good. That I don't even need to pay for the ingredients. That shit don't fly. So that's what we're grilling with here. And someone might try to regurgitate and tell me why. Oh, that's not exactly how it works. Whatever bullshit. That's exactly what we're talking about. And as a creator of content. I'm going to own my soap. I'm in the pool. But I am asking the Deacon for an amen and a hallelujah and appraise the Lord over there. Because I know I'm right. And I know what it's like to create content and have people rip it off. So this isn't going to fly. This has been my question about this in the very beginning. Is it's great. I love these tools. They're wonderful for business. They shortcut a lot of things. But it's still taking the ingredients of other people's stuff. And using it to create something better. I have a great example because I have a friend who did this. He published a book essentially. But he just used Chad GPT to write a book with famous quotes from like Marcus Aurelius. And he stole a philosopher's. So he basically just created an e-book on Chad GPT and said compile quotes of all these famous. Stoke philosophers. Put it up. And he even said he goes, yeah, I don't know if it's going to get flagged or not. I put it up for the high 99. Yep. And I was even I remember hearing that. I'm like, I have both. I know that have quotes daily quotes and stuff. So I'm like, maybe this is okay. That's the other part of it. There's as someone on the other end of the spectrum as a user of it. If Chad GP's allowed me to do this, part of the amazing thing, this is fine. If I'm allowed to do this, there's no copyright infringement here, right? Yeah. Just saying. Interesting time. The weird time. Interesting time. And it's Chris, you and I as human beings, non robots. At least as far as I'm aware, you might be the best AI I've ever seen if you're AI. But I got too much soul to be the robot. You and I are having this discussion right now. And we're talking about articles and we cite those articles and we cite and we give opinion on it. But you and I don't have prescripted thoughts that are generated from someone else's content. We have free will and are having just a discussion of what our opinion is on this or that or the other things. So our sources, we're certainly influenced by the world. But we aren't just, we aren't capable of processing like we didn't come in like before this discussion and listen to 20 people say something really smart. And then we regurgitated out like it here on the show. Yeah. We're like out of those 20 these guys are the smarter. So let's take with that opinion and we'll talk about that. Yeah. So we're creating original content here based on our free thought, free opinions, free will. And you can like it, love it, hate it, listen to it or not listen to it. But we're not regurgitating and or remanufacturing the thoughts of anyone by their own. So it's just, it's a really, and I bring all this up and I get on, I think it's a real perspective. And it's something I'm going to be fascinated where these lawsuits go because it is a big question. And you think about the difference between Google search and open AI. So Google makes a lot of money. They sell ads on top of other people's websites on keywords and they develop the software to do that. But you know what? Google delivers a lot of fucking money back to those website owners. They can sell ads on their site. You're selling products on your site. Are you getting ROI for creating that content or selling that product? Even if it's on Google, right? Because even if Google selling ads because they developed a proprietary way, which people look up information, you still get to that information, right? If we get to the website to buy something with which you or I would or whoever selling would profit from. And especially like the information side of it. Chat GPT just gives you answers that gives no benefit back to where it got that answer from. It's just pulling it. It's pulling it off the backs of the people that wrote the content to begin with. And it raises a lot of fucking questions when you really think about it. And I don't know where it's going to go. And I think it's going to have a big impact on business and the cost of doing this. Get to make sure right now I think we're paying for the cookie, but not paying for the ingredients. It's going to get real fucking expensive when you got to pay for both. You and I know because when I want cookies, I got to buy all the ingredients. You got a lot of more hands in the pie. Yeah, more hands in the cookie jar. That's right. More to come on that. Another AI news, open AI announces GPT dash 40 alpha 1269er. Just getting this 40 I think. Really? Can we not just come up with a multi-modal voice assistance? That's free for all chat GPT users. The multi-modal GPT dash 40 strolls off the tongue. Sam Altman teased the announce last week. This rumours swirled. It's unveiled GPT dash 40 new AI model that combines text, vision and audio. And it's highly anticipated live stream event. It's shared that chat GPT dash 40. I really need something cooler than chat GPT dash 40. Come on. These guys are creative. You'll see in the bottom. You'll see the bottom of the article. It explains it. Keep going. I wish it would. Can I get five more creative names? Can I use chat GP dash 40 to create five more creative names for chat GPT dash 40? It even bothers me visually. All right. It could process text, audio, vision and the model. GPT dash 40. We were available for free to all chat GPT users slash payers slash cookie buyers but not ingredients buyers. It is available in the API. It is half the price and twice as fast as GPT dash 4 turbo. The O of the names teams for Omni. Omni. So it's O not zero. Omni. Referencing its combined modalities in one model. Modalities in one model. I love that statement. Flows off the tongue, right? God. These guys need to hire some people to make this. Need some people are working for them. Not fucking robots because this is made for a robot to read. Not a normal ass human. This came to us from Mashable Mashable.com. Great tech news all the time from Mashable. Love those guys. So. Where's the 40 chat GPT dash 40? Sorry. Not 40. It's O for Omni. You know what? Is this mean it's God? Is it Omni present? Is this what they're saying? It should be just this should be these GPT God. I'm a GPT God. It's an Omni present for its modalities. Look, it's amazing tech. It's bad ass. I've played around with it. I'm making like a little bit of the name. And it's getting a little freaky. So I'm the shit it can do. I'm telling you. China is going to have some robots walking around that have this shit. And they're going to look like West. Go watch Westworld and HBO. Yeah. We are this close to Westworld. We're ancient there real real quickly. And you know what? You don't want that Westworld robot kicking your ass. And forget what her main character name was. But she was a bad ass. And she wrote a horse. And she she like the face. I'm not care. And she was self-aware. And Omni present. Why are we really going to let Terminator and Westworld happen all at once in the world? Is that we really that stupid? I think we're we really that don't feel like it feels like we are speaking of Netflix. There's a movie called upgraded all about a guy getting a plant chip in his brain. And it going wrong. And I'm watching and thinking. I mean, Ryan we're talking about an early in class week in a microchip going wrong and some guys praying. It's where every movie. It's becoming reality. I feel like I'm in the matrix now. I think we might have gone in the matrix like actually in 2000. You know where we were. We were in the world. It was going in. In what? 2012. No, 2001. On my own calendar. Whatever it was. I think we might. Okay. Why 2k? I forgot. The other earth ending event. Yeah. We might have actually entered it at that moment. We didn't know it. Like it. It just happened. Am I right? Yeah. Or maybe we're all plugged into something. I mean, is it really that far fetched now? I don't think it is. No, it's now just it's going to happen. But when is how I feel? Yeah. It's you can't make it up. We made it up and it's become true. So now I want to want us to make up anything else. Because it seems to all be coming true. Can we like make up some positive shit? Yeah. Not going to kill the human race potentially. Yes. That would be awesome. Like everybody happy and I don't know. Better growing healthier plants and vegetables, for example. Yes. Just growing plants and vegetables, listening to loud music and drinking beer. Yeah. Sounds great. Let's figure that out. Mochi modal voice assistance chat GPT. Go check it out and get scared at the same time. I'll tell you the one thing that doesn't make me scared is every time I order a new hat from Brandon Bills. Yeah. Because look, I'm surrounded by them. I'm still in the belt here. Oh, I don't want to get this shown. There's three on my counter right across and looking at right now. Yes. Look, the OG partner, baby. One of the original partners of the Radcast is back in business, baby. Because of the synergy. I wear a hat all the time. Christopher's a hat all the time. We are. Look, I'm not only, what was that guy? You're the shave. I'm not only a spokesperson. I'm also a user. Look, they don't even have to pay me. I talk more about Brandon Bills than I talk about my eight-year-old. Like, I'm like showing people off. They're like, that's a nice cool hat. I'm like, yeah, I mean, so it's customized this leather patch. And they're awesome. Say I'm the founder. Good guy. Look, this is like the salt of the earth people making the best quality hats in the country. Brandon Bills, braidedbills.com. And here's the thing. Custom is where you go. I'm a brand guy, marketing guy. And look, it matters. It matters what your brand looks like. It matters the stuff you hand out to your customers and your clients and your kids. And what you wear, you want it to look good. Yeah, you can go by 5,000 hats and ship them in from Tokyo or wherever they come from. I don't know. Wherever across the world. Somewhere. And you know what? You're not proud of them. Because they're not well made. They're not custom. I'm talking about Brandon Bills, braidedbills.com. It's a little part of where you're powered by braidedbills because look, I'm always wearing the cap. It's just comfortable. It looks good. And their designers are amazing. Literally, yeah, sending the logo. And they're like, start playing around with stuff. I'm like, damn. That was pretty cool. They give you the rubber patches, the leather patches for the hat. Designs on there. And look. They'll make your brand stand out. People ask you, where did you get those done? They ask me, I say, Brandon Bills, braidedbills.com, backslash, pages, backslash, custom. Go there, tell them the radcast and Ryan offered the radcast network. And everyone is right about now. Chris and I support him. We love him, but it's not, but look, I love them before they were a sponsor. I was wearing it like a original. I love their stuff. They got hoodies, t-shirts, everything. You get your custom logo on it and you'll be proud of it with your brand. Braidedbills, official merchandise sponsor. We've right about now. All right, dude. This wasn't surprising to me. Instagram beats TikTok for video-based user acquisition. Marketers prefer Instagram as their platform for video-based user acquisition over TikTok, according to global research. This came from us exclusively for marketing dive. We want to make sure we're citing our sources. When asked to split their user acquisition spend between Instagram and TikTok, 79% of server respondents allotted at least 75% of their budget to Instagram, compared with 25, the TikTok. However, when asked which media source they worked with in 2023, 50% of respondents said both TikTok and Instagram. The server was conducted in February of March before US lawmakers proved to build required TikTok to sell from Chinese ownership. So here's, let me digest this for everyone. What they're saying is when given money and from testing, they think their dollars go further and better and more quality spend on Instagram. They're testing TikTok, which they should be. And I want to be clear, no one's locking TikTok. If you're not on TikTok, you should be testing the waters. There's too much organic reach over there. You throw in the ad stuff. You should be totally testing budget over there. So let me get that out of the way. However, for acquiring users, the people that keep coming back and have more quality impression, they're finding that Instagram and their opinion and from the data they're getting from the ad spend that it's better spent there. That's really what this is boiling down to. And I think it depends on what industry. I don't know that you can make this a blanket statement. But this has always been my whole problem a little bit with TikTok. Not only is it overwhelming and you get down the damn rabbit hole. And I understand it's fun, it's cool. They had a bad ass platform. It's great for what it is if you can use it responsibly and manageably not getting six hours a day locked into it. But I always feel like I have a richer experience on Instagram with the brand or feeling like I know who and where the content came from. And on TikTok, it's just like this. I don't know, all in effect where maybe it's chaotic. It's chaotic and it might be viral and I'm watching it. But even when if it's a good ad on TikTok or something, I don't feel like I remember it as well. This is a terrible way to do scientific research. I admit that. So I've always tempered that a little bit. But then when I read stuff like this that validates the way I feel about it, it's I don't know. I think you get a more quality impression potentially elsewhere. But the volume is so high on TikTok. That's why you do you try. If you get the right product and the right creative, TikTok is absolutely going bonkers for the right stuff. But I think like universally speaking, it's like the DMing man. Like I can manage my DMs on Instagram. I get a lot of them. I ignore a lot of them. There's probably hundreds a week that I don't even get to because I just garbage. But I know it because I can glance at it. I go into that TikTok DM man. I am like spinning. I'm like, what is this trying to tell me? Get someone's waving at you, someone's liking this, someone's activity over here. It doesn't just say Chris Hansen message you, hey man, what's up? Can you call me later? Good luck getting to meaningful conversation in the DMs on TikTok. Bring your pocket translator and your advocates because not happening. So it has nothing to do with the video, by the way. Just impressions. Just things I would say get better. But better impressions on Instagram, according to a lot of marketers. But I think it depends on the product. Finally today, this is a big business. Look, Chris and I do another show called Vibescience. She go check that out. Vibescience.media. We're posing questions, man. It's modern. I think we all admit health is my body spirit, my body energy. Just so much that goes into it. Chris and I want to get the best. We both buy our hackers to a degree. And so we just like talking about health and wellness and all that stuff. And we're posing questions. We're bringing on people at both ends of this spectrum. It's not just some kind of woo-woo. Chris and I are all woo-woo. I look like a good ol' Eden tree hugger. And I love trees. And I love all. Look, I got friends. But we're not. But I'll tell you what we are. We're not conformist. And we know when we're getting fed a bunch of bullshit. And so we're just asking questions and bringing on people that have different answers. And so that's vibe science. But this is kind of aligned to that a little bit. Because it's interesting. Because telehealth and wellness at home, all these companies are exploding. And trying to bypass some of the traditional ways with which we get access to things. So this is from Bloomberg.com. Hems debuts $199 weight loss shots at 85% discount to Wigovie. That's the manufacturer that makes the peptide. This is all the talk. If you're listening to this, you've heard about this. Somebody has probably taken this stuff. And it works well. It seems to have a lot of upside for everyone that takes it. Hems says treatment offers same active ingredients as GLP ones Wigovie copycat drug made by undisclosed compounding pharmacies. Calls roughly $1,350 a month for injections of the prescription drug made by Eli Lilly. Hems said it's offering a treatment with the same active ingredient for $199 a month. The center cuts big pharma by as much as 85%. That's probably been everywhere. Especially down here. I've seen a lot of guys pushing these peptides. Some of my glutesides online. Yeah. And so far, the data is incredible. It helps with all kinds of markers. I'm just waiting. Call me the sending. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. What do they get? But it does cause a 30 year to grow out of the top of your head. What is that? Yeah. We do that the Med Spa. I've heard both sides. I've had older friends that have been on it and had not created experiences with side effects. And then other people that are completely ecstatic and has changed their life. Yeah. So the point of this article and why I wanted to talk about it was less the debate of the drug itself and more the proliferation of telehealth and medicine and overall kind of personal health being democratized. And because 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, just like you and your personal doctor. And that was good. And now this stuff for good or bad, I think it's mainly good because I like that people could take it their own hands. I see the better side of this path, so consider negatives. It's. But now there's, I don't know, shop around for just about anything and access and affordability. Yes. The access. The availability of prescription drugs and just your overall health and wellness is widespread. You got a lot of options. And I think the business of this were the curve, like the bell curve. We're like a, we're barely halfway up the bell on the front side. I think of where you're going to see, I don't know, personalized medicine and the business of health and wellness and how it's changing. That's why we need to open some more of those meds bars. I know, man, but on the flip side, we just need to open a telemedic pharmacy online. We got a doctor, Dr. Joel. I know. Yes. Yeah. We need to talk about that for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I just became a patient. If it is as well. Yes. Dr. Joel is my longevity doctor. Now, Chris is as well. He's, he's the man. She's checking him out. Let's get Joel shot. What's his, his Insta? Dr. longevity. Dr. longevity. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He is. Dr. longevity. And so you just, if you get Instagram that, Dr. Joel, Dr. longevity. Yeah. Great videos. Really down to earth guy. Yeah. Easy on guys. Very mature. Yeah. He's the full package, lady. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get Dr. Joel married up. Yeah. We got to get together with him, with him down in Miami. That was fun last time. Anyway, big things coming in telehealth and medicine and all that stuff. It's big business. Billions of dollars. This is a big news. If you're undercutting the pharmacy 85% they're going to sell the shit out of this. I mean, this is a trillion dollar business. So it's in Bloomberg for a reason. So pay attention and go buy some stock. Their stock jumped 38% when they launched this because that's the freaking market knows how big this is. Huge. Yeah. That kind of jump in one day. Jump in the pool. I've heard about this. Yeah. A bit in the four day. 100 dollars a month. That's a different story. 1300. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one percenters. Yeah. Maybe five percenters. But still. But this game changer. So maybe we should we need by a compounding company. Compound pharmacy. Yeah. There it is. There's your insights. We're taking the BS out of business, baby.
