08/09/24 • 69 min
1 Listener
In a desperation move, X decides the best way to get advertisers back to the platform is to sue them.
In obvious news, a judge rules that Google is an illegal monopoly. The boys talk about what the repercussions are with this ruling, and what Apple's role will be.
Speaking of Google (and X), Google ads seem to be popping up on Elon's platform. Curious indeed.
In winners and losers, the Harris campaign is kicking butt on social while the Army fails with The Rock.
In rants and raves, Robert changes his mind on the Olympics and Joe thinks the next wave of content marketing is internal creators.
