What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. It's Friday, January 31st, our weekly marketing and business news of 2025. Almost through the first month, end of the month, but it's not the end of always having my good buddy, My partner in crime, Chris Hansen. What's up, Chris? What's up, Brian? How you doing today? I'm good, man. You know, just all in the news. All up in the news.
All up in it, baby. That's where we like to be. All up in the news. That could have been the name of the show. All up in it. The news. Deep in it. Deep in the news. I had a buddy who suggested the name Funny Business. I thought that was kind of clever, you know, but Hey, nothing's funny. Not everything's funny. We have a good time, but we try to bring you all the latest breaking insight.
I'd say the insights on the news and our take on kind of what's going down. Like we mentioned last week, before we could announce the decline of TikTok, it had already gotten back up. So, you know, we have a highlight clip out there actually kind of painting that reality of how fast the news cycle and Trump continues to move fast. So...
Lots of shit going down, and it's just a little bit of a blur because I'm in a busy season with work and other things, still hiring a few people and doing things. So I'm not as in tune to my X updates or breaking news things. I think sometimes something that somebody will tell me about or text me about in the morning, by the time I've learned about it in the afternoon, it's on to something else.
The news cycle flies. They're moving quick. We're not used to an administration moving this quickly. I know.
Is there anything that surprised you the most, Chris, about the last couple weeks?
Politically or in general?
Just in general. With either the business news or the political landscape.
