Summary
“No Buy 2025” is like “Dry January”… But instead of no alcohol, it’s no shopping.
Spotify hit all-time high after its 1st full-year profit… because it found musical monopoly.
Chick-fil-A’s drive-thru is #1 thanks to military-like precision... Drones, game-tape, & champagne.
Plus, the Philadelphia Eagles linemen are the largest in history… and the most profitable.

| 0:12.9 | stories you need to know today. And Jack, I have my second piano lesson later this afternoon |

| 1:23.1 | But Yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories, wild mix today. |
| 1:29.3 | The biggest part of the Super Bowl this Sunday is not the chicken wings. |
