migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox Onobotulinum Toxin A prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for adults with migraine with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma, symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Jeremy Odom
Hey, it's Jo, Jeremy and Johnny with you on a brand new episode. Thank you. Johnny Yojayo doesn't always speak in third person, but when he does, he loves to, you know, mention you as well. Johnny, that's, that's what this is all about. That wasn't a joke. That was. I was being sincere. Like, you're my guy. Like, I was being a hundred percent sincere. We were getting ready here in the, in the studio. First of all, I just want to point out cat puke down here. Cat puke. Cat's getting down here puking. That, that's a situation that needs address still, Johnny. And we're gonna get that cleaned up. But while I was preparing, while it's getting, getting set up at the microphone, I was, I was singing, you know, a little karaoke action. I Can't Hold Back by Survivor. So here's the thing. This is Johnny's. He was in my business here. I was getting a little karaoke to get warmed up. He goes, it's not necessarily karaoke when it's just you in a room singing like, so can you karaoke? I mean, what, what's the definition of karaoke? Does it have to be in a public place or can you just simply turn on some tunes and sing? I mean, so I guess in your car, are you just singing with the, with the tunes or, or is it karaoke in the car? That was, that was a little bit of debate we had. Johnny says, I'm just singing. I, I think I had a little karaoke sesh going on. I mean, you were my audience, Johnny. I mean, that's. Nothing wrong with that. Anyway, I'm, I'm hooked on this Survivor song. I can't hold back. What a perfect karaoke jam too. I mean, really, anything from the 80s beers to probably have had its moment in the karaoke spotlight, I would just assume. I mean, the hooks, I mean, everybody's singing along, right? Isn't that what's great about 80s music is that like, it's not necessarily just you. It's not really a talent as much as it's a sing along for everybody involved. I mean, what 80 songs or being sang in karaoke and you're just in awe watching the person or people like singing. Like you got to just be in the back singing as well, right? I mean, that's what makes 80s songs karaoke so good. I feel like anybody could jump right in. They're just so freaking catchy. I mean, anymore if you sing like any modern, like pop songs, like any current pop songs in. In karaoke, you got to have a little bit of range. You got to have emotional trauma. You probably have to. You have to start with a tick tock following. Like that's just. You got to start there. If you don't have a tick tock following, you're not even allowed, like, they will just shut you down. It's the way it is now, man. 80s jams, you just go up there and that. You know, a lot of them have saxophones. Like I think that was like a thing in the 80s. You had to have just kind of like the rando sax solo, which is totally cool in my opinion. Like, I'm big horn guy. Okay? Huge horn guy. Love sca music. So you, if you put a horn of any type, any brass you put in that song, and I'm acting like it's a guitar solo. Like, isn't that what we do when that saxophone comes on? Or if the trumpet, you get that trumpet in there, I'm. I'm rocking it. You would have thought it was a guitar solo. But we need, we need more of that in our music. That's something we could bring back, you know, from the 80s. I think. That's karaoke bars. I really. Or any bar that's playing karaoke. Like they were just built for 80s music, right? I mean, they're all jams, you know, they're loud, they're so basic, it's almost dumb. It's almost music for dummies. And everyone knows the chorus because you've heard it at the bowling alley a million times. Another outdated place, huh? Bowling alleys. I went bowling. Shoot, when I go bowling. Month. A month. A little over a month ago. A month. And A half ago. That was fun. First time in years I've gone bowling. And it showed. You get rusty. Turns out, not like riding a bike. You get rusty. Oh, man. To me, it was always like, all right, if I can get over a hundred, then I felt pretty good. Like, it was like, all right, that was. That was a decent game. If it was anything under a hundred, what was I. Why did I even show up? Right? But anything over a hundred, I'm like, all right, I'm in it. I was competing. It was fun. I think that first game was under a hunt, like, well under 100. Braden crushed me. You know, fellas, 16, he's just stomping people. And bowling, it's. It's one of those things where it's like, you either have that kind of young, dumb luck situation, or maybe gym class is helping because this is. This is an activity they do in gym. They. They bowl. You know, they have, like, the bowling week, and they bust out the pins and balls and carpet and start bowling in the gym. Like, that's. That's a thing. Maybe that. Maybe that helps. I've never really thought about how that one week of, you know, a theme in. In gym class could actually help develop you as a multi. Multi dimensional, like, athlete. But if I really start to think back to me when I was that age, boy, I felt like I could compete in just about anything. Like, you put me in front of it. I understood the rules. I could go now. Shoot, I'm probably risking a hospital stay. So physically, it's a little different. And then mentally, it's one of those things where everything needs to happen just a little bit slower for me so that I can kind of gain my pace with it. And then after that, man, yeah, it's still too much for me, But I think if I had that one week of gym class with that theme every week now, I think that would be helpful. I really do. We need, like, that for adults. Like, where can we go as an adult? And every week it's just a different theme to just to keep us. Keep us engaged, you know, keep us in the game. We need we. This. Did I just invent gym class for adults? Like, we. We need this. It's not just a. Oh, on Tuesdays I play pickleball. No, it should be, yeah, this Tuesday's pickleball, but the next Tuesday's bowling, and then the Tuesday after that we're going to play a little volleyball. And then the Tuesday after that, yeah, it's dodgeball. And it's going to be awesome. Like, we need, we need this, we need this kind of structure and where can we find this as an adult? Like, if this is out there already, someone needs to tell me, Johnny, if, if somebody's on this already, tell me because otherwise this is all I'm going to think about. This is all I'm gonna think about because I feel like it's going to help me be a better multi dimensional athlete at my age. Like, because it obviously helps. Kids are doing it and it's working. It's working. And they're, they're, they're growing up to beat us. I got a 16 year old who's growing up able to beat me in many activities now. And I'm giving full credit to the school system, I really am. They're doing wonders there because I, I mean, honestly, I was beating him in everything his whole life and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden it's changing a little bit. And the only thing I can think of difference wise is that he's getting this extra work in at the, at school and I'm, I'm just not. So that's. We're gonna need to figure this out. Johnny. We'll get there. We will get. Today's episode is brought to you by Distribution Center Comedy. Have you ever thought, man, I'd love to laugh my ass off while also watching industrial grade logistics happen in real time? Well, now you can. At Distribution Center Comedy, they've combined two American traditions. Stand up comedy and moving massive amounts of boxed inventory under impossible deadlines. Why waste your evening at some boring comedy club when you can enjoy premium entertainment while a man named Rick aggressively scans barcodes behind you. At Distribution Center Comedy, every show is an experience. Watch top tier comedians perform while employees fulfill same day shipping orders just feet away. Laugh at edgy observational humor while Karen from Shipping screams who moved pallet 7B. That's atmosphere, that's immersion, that's art. And the best part, audience participation. Get selected at random to help unload a truck during the headliner set. Nothing builds community like manually sorting novelty coffee mugs while a comic bombs through a divorce joke. Upcoming events include open mic and open doc night where first time comics perform while first time forklift operators learn through trial and error. How about Laughing Loud Thursdays two drink minimum, three box minimum. And their newest premium event, Killing it in aisle nine, where comedians battle hecklers and inventory discrepancies at the same time. I went there last week and halfway through a guy's bit about online dating, a pallet of air fryers tipped over. Funniest physical comedy I've seen all year.

Hello hello, this is Malcolm Glebel from Smart talks with IBM. Today. We're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari hp.
Jeremy Odom
Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.
Malcolm Glebel
I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tifosi the Ferrari superfans. In the digital age.
Jeremy Odom
Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.
Malcolm Glebel
You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space. I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.
Johnny Yojayo
When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology and digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

of the things we want to talk about today, and honestly I felt it was kind of interesting and it's something that is not necessarily discussed a lot anymore, but it's still happening. Like this is still something that is a frustration for a lot of people. But maybe it's just because with the invention of, you know, the smartphone and every retailer has their own specific apps now, so maybe you can, you could search and find different things a little faster. People are starting to catch up to that because that is actually a pretty smart move. Maybe, maybe that's why. Maybe I'm just out of the game. Maybe I've just been out of the game too long that I don't even know that it's still a hot topic. But something I came up in the Q, Q and A that we didn't discuss last week was, you know, why, why grocery stores? Everyone knows I'm a 20 plus year vet of the old grocery store industry and why do grocery stores constantly move everything? Like that's a question that comes up often. Well, they're not. And I'm gonna answer it. I mean I'm gonna get into it here a little bit on the hows and whys and really the business aspect of it. But the thing is, grocery stores aren't always moving things. Here's the thing. For example, if you go into Target right now and you go into the back of the store generally right after the grocery section. So right after dairy you're going to run right into their like seasonal section, right? And what's in seasonal right now? Well, we're gonna have outdoor bubbles and water toys and water guns and like all this stuff that. And then it goes right into patio furniture and patio decorations and grilling and then tons of grilling stuff, right? Then some seasonal candies, blah blah blah blah. What? What are we gonna have there next? Well then right after that we're going to be rolling right into back to school. Then what's after that? Halloween. So it's just, all right, what's the next thing this thing comes up? People coming in, people coming in. July, you're always moving stuff. Why, why is this? Why, why do we have pencils back here now? Well, the pencils, the pencils are always there in the pencil aisle in your normal office supply section. But then we're gonna have this section that's gonna have the in and out seasonal goods. So that's one thing. People, people think that you should just always have this stuff. Like just leave it alone, only, only on the day or something. That's stupid. Then people will come in and they'll say, I saw this item online. The person that I follow on TikTok says that it's really popular. Where's this item? And it's a new item, right? That's how they get, that's how the, the brands get you hooked right away to want to try it because they get the influencers and celebrities to talk about it right from the get. So that way you're talking about it and the, you, the stores want to add this new item because they don't want to add it. You can't, can't just add every new item that comes through. Trust me, there's a lot of new items, thousands of new items every week. You can't just be adding all the new items but the new items that you are gonna carry. What do you think happens? Well, you got to take something out. You can't just be adding items, right? Unless it's a limited time offer and you can put it on some kind of display. You gotta have shelf space for it. So you gotta, you gotta start moving things around. Well then what happens when section like let's, for example, let's say pickles suddenly became a diet trend, okay? And this, Johnny, I know you tried this. You, you actually tried pickles as your diet trend, what, a couple years ago and all, all you ended up with was the nastiest farts of your life. So I don't recommend, I'm not, I'm not a doctor, I'm not giving health advice here. I'm just giving an example. Let's say pickles became a diet trend. So now the four foot section of pickles, eight foot section of pickles, whatever, whatever you got there and all of its variety suddenly had to be doubled and in some cases tripled because of the trend. There's all these different kinds and everybody wants this and that, you know, they want this special willy nilly pickle because I saw on TikTok that I can lose 37 and a half pounds in three weeks if I eat a willy nilly nickel pickle every four hours. So, like, now I've got to have all these pickles. So now I've got to expand my pickle set. Well, the pickle sets right in there in the mix of the condiments, right? So the pickle set's always right next to, you know, ketchups and mustards and mayo and, you know, salad dressing. Like, it's in that range. And in some cases, it's got to be somewhere near the bread aisle because it just all goes together. So now in order to find room for this new pickle set, you've got to start digging in to. All right, well, what section can be moved so that I can expand the pickles and go from there? And then it's a puzzle, man. It's just a puzzle, baby. And that's, to me, the fun part of the grocery store is the puzzle. And it's easy. When you're week to week doing the puzzle with, like, displays and whatnot, like, that's easy. That's. To me, I do that my sleep sometimes. I did. But when you're looking at your everyday set, it takes a little more thought. There's just, there's a lot of analytics to it. But the point is it doesn't always move the grocery store. It's not just moving things around just to mess with the consumer. No, there's. There's real life factors. And this pickle thing is a great example because having to find extra space for willy nilly pickles for that diet trend, like, this is real. This is real stuff that's happening and it's happening on a daily basis. And if it's not pickles, it's. It's this, you know, it's this blue shade of mustard that now if you, if you put mustard on a little dab on everything that you eat for four and a half weeks, like, you'll gain. You'll gain a minute on your mile. Like, you're gonna cut a minute off your mile. Like, there's, there's all these different trends and different things that will catch on on TikTok that you're like, oh, and I gotta carry this because it's sales. Like, you need sales. So what I was getting at with, you know, maybe people aren't complaining anymore because of smartphones. Like, now it's like, all right, well, I can look up the Target app and I can look the map up of that store on the app and I can find what I'm looking for. You know, if I suddenly don't know where Willy nilly pickles are, I can look it up on the app. And just about every store has got this. Got this option now. So maybe, I don't know, maybe people are catching on. Maybe people catching on that they've got the map in their pocket. I don't know. I was at a landscaping store a couple weeks ago and they had the map of the whole operation right there on the grocery, like on the cart. And I thought that was genius. And I was like, man, grocery guy Jeremy from 10 years ago. Yeah, 10 years ago, maybe, maybe longer. 10 years ago, though, for sure. Would have thought this is the coolest thing and I'm gonna put these maps on all my grocery carts. Like I a hundred percent would have saw that, took a picture, went back and said, this needs to happen now. A hundred percent non grocery guy Jeremy now goes, oh, that's cool. But I have it on my smartphone. There you go. Rather use my phone, but it's right there. So I don't know, maybe people aren't as. Maybe I'm way off. Maybe people are still complaining, but it certainly doesn't feel like people complain about that stuff as much anymore. At least from what I'm seeing online. I don't know. My algorithm's probably less grocery guy related things now than it used to be. Now it's more like, what are the best karaoke, like 80s karaoke songs? Like, that's, that's what I need in my algorithm right now. I can't hold back My survivor to me like, like, okay, Journey, Don't Stop Believing is probably an all time 80s karaoke song. But I can't hold back. It's sneaky good. It is sneaky good, Johnny. I don't know. Make of this, man. Did we solve the world's problems today? It's always good when you come to your comedy. We're like, you know, the Theo Vaughn or Joe Rogan on election, like an election cycle. We're just solving the world's problems one comedy podcast at a time. All right? Jesus.
