We're back! NewZ, FunnieZ + Talking Affiliate Budgets Let's Gooo
Vol. 130 Friday Fun
It’s only been a week since Thanksgiving, but it feels like a year, doesn’t it? Also it’s December, which seems unreasonable. But since we’re all here, let’s do the thing! It’s Friday and that’s good enough for me.
I’ve got a newZ roundup, funnieZ, and talking about affiliate budgets today in ABZs. This is a topic we’ve discussed before, but it comes up all the time in my AZAs and it’s a good time to dust it off again. As brands and agencies head into the new year, budgets are on everyone’s mind. And one of the things that makes affiliate so great is that there is really opportunity for EVERY budget, from a few hundred bucks to thousands monthly. I’m covering it all in today’s paid post! If you’re not already a subscriber, it’s a great day to become one. You’ll get today’s goodies, plus allll the archives.
Ready? Here we goooooo.

In the most online newZ of the week, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy and girlfriend of three years Silvana Mojica have split. The crazy part is he broke up with her and nobody cheated.
Ba da ba ba ba I’m changing it. McDonald’s is making over 50 modifications to improve its burgers. The changes will be rolled out to all US stores by early 2024.
George Santos has been expelled from US House of Representatives today, following an Ethics Committee report that revealed he used campaign funds on x-rated OnlyFans subscriptions and Botox. Jokes. They write themselves.
