Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's deeper in the den with dangerous day.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
What color is your car? Black? Your color? Your car
is black. Do you ever consider buying something like brown
or like black to kind of hide a little more dirt?
But it doesn't seem to work, does it. No, it doesn't.
It really doesn't. And by the way, you're going to
be a target for birds. So a new report comes
out into the vehicles birds poop on the most. Apparently

(00:27):
it is totally random, but according to the report, birds
tend brown vehicles to be aimed at the most, followed
by red and then black. So silver and white cars
rank the lowest. And maybe for the white cars, you
didn't see it. Didn't see it, Yeah, because it's white.
It was the bird poop. Okay. Anyway. Researchers say birds

(00:48):
detect ultraviolet light when with enhanced color vision compared to
hugot humans, so darker colors stand out more make them
prime targets, so that it's not just random, they are
just actually targeting it. Shiny services can act like merrors,
reflect the bird's image, so during the mating season, territorial

(01:09):
birds may think the reflection is a rival, leading to
attacks on the same vehicle. Also, they think that it
might seem like birds are targeting right after a squeaky
clean car. Well, the reason is they're shinier, so more reflection.
Now you know, you wash your car more, you're gonna
get pooped on. More. Brands that get hit the most.

(01:31):
They actually looked at that. In the study, Ram number one,
followed by Jeep, Chevrolet, Nissan, Dodge, Kia, Tesla, outy Ford,
then Subaru. Overall, twenty four percent of Americans spent over
five hundred dollars annually on car washes and repairs related
to bird droppings. Tesla and BMW owners shelling out the most. Yeah,

(01:57):
so they actually did a study on bird poop. How
would you like to apply for that grant? I think
that'd be really fun. I think I'm a min a Ford,
so I'm way down on your, way down on the list.
So I don't know. I park mine inside and the
birds still seem to hit it. Deper in the our
wedding bells somewhere in the future for you, somewhere in
the near future. I believe, somewhere in the near future.

(02:18):
All right, Well, some people struggle with dress codes. Some
might not think it's a problem. However, you might need
to wear a NASCAR style jacket with a big Walmart
logo for your wedding. It's the latest trend. So In
a new survey, sixty one percent of Americans said they
would consider a brand sponsored wedding assuming the brand covered

(02:41):
more than just half the cost of the ceremony. Like
if they paid twenty grand towards a thirty thousand dollars wedding,
I think I would do that. Thirty two percent of
people said they rejecting the offerer to commercialize your wedding.
Would you take sponsorship for your weddings. I've been in
marketing and advertising for so long. I might consider it. Yeah, well,
you know it's crazy. If they covered one hundred percent,

(03:03):
I would think that would be a good thing. Fifty
eight percent of people said they would do it if
it was inspired by a cocktail or something like that.
Maybe during the wedding reception might be a little more
receptive for something like that. Fifty seven percent of people
would allow brand logo at reception tables, signage, even on invites.

(03:24):
Fifty four percent would brand to hand out the products
and samples at the wedding, so that makes good sense
for them. Thirty three percent said they would allow a
brand mascot to attend the wedding. So maybe the Geico
is the Gecko. Just a little table for that guy.

(03:46):
I guess. Twenty percent would allow mascots to or brands
rep to officiate their wedding. Okay, Tony, the tiger is
your efficient how would that be? I just hope he
can make it. I know he's been. Eighteen percent would
be willing to mention the brands in their wedding vows,
and seventeen percent Sarah would be okay to put the

(04:08):
brand's logo on the wedding dress. What do you feel
about that? How do you feel about your brand being
a big part of the wedding? Sounds interesting. I'd like
to meet some of these people that took the survey.
I think it would sound something like this.
