Summary
“The Puerto Rico Song” might be the song of the summer… but it’s from $5B AI startup, Suno.
Salt & Straw is on sale for $200M… after inventing more ice cream flavors than anyone.
We have it all wrong - AI isn’t taking jobs from young college grads... It’s actually work from home.
Plus, it’s SpaceX IPO week, so we found a wild stat… What % of Elon’s promises come true?

| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, June 8th. And today's pod is the best one you add to this is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Fesies, we're still glowing from the LA live show. Jack bought a bronzer. That's why, by the way. Another reason why we're glowing is we got one heck of a jobs report, Jack. On Friday, we learned that 172,000 new jobs were created in May. That's good news, but markets took it as bad news because it means the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. The NASDAQ fell 4% Friday, the worst day on the market since April of 2025. What a setup to a wild week. Jack, you are glowing, by the way. I like what you |
| 0:38.9 | did with the Bro-Tox. I plead HIPAA. No comment is a comment, but Jack, three fantastic stories |
| 0:45.3 | for the most interesting show and business. What do we got? For our first story, we might have the |
| 0:49.0 | song of the summer already, but it's created by AI. The Puerto Rico song. It was made by an AI prompt, but the creator |
| 0:55.9 | won't share it. For our second story, salt and straw has created 900 flavors, and now it wants |
| 1:01.7 | to sell them all. But who will buy a bug-flavored pastrami ice cream for $200 million? We'll tell you |
| 1:07.5 | who we think. And our third and final story, a lot of college kids are graduating and not finding jobs right now. We thought it was because of AI, but it might be a work from home hangover. We got the numbers. But Yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix to come back to. Love the mix, Jack. We were just in Los Angeles for our live show, amazing week, and next we fly to New York. |
| 1:27.7 | Because New York is having its biggest week since the Statue of Liberty. |
| 1:32.1 | The New York Knicks are in the finals, and they host their first game at Madison Square Garden tonight. |
| 1:37.0 | The Knicks are generated half a billion bucks in basketball money for the city right now. |
| 1:40.7 | On Saturday, MetLife Stadium across the river in New Jersey host their first World |
| 1:44.6 | Cup game. And that New York Jersey Stadium's hosting the finals of the World Cup as well. |
| 1:49.1 | But on Friday, we get the most intense, insane day in Wall Street history. You're going to |
| 1:54.7 | want a carboload for this. The SpaceX IPO, the biggest IPO ever by almost 3x. |
| 2:01.6 | They're raising $75 billion, which is almost three times as much as the number two IPO. |
| 2:06.6 | It's basically the first IPO that's too big to fail. |
| 2:08.6 | Elon's stated goal for this company is to colonize Mars with a million humans, |
| 2:13.6 | but bestie's funny thing about the SpaceX IPO Jack and I noticed over the weekend. |
| 2:18.1 | The New York Times reviewed all of Elon's goals for the last 15 years, all 6002 times that Elon |
| 2:23.9 | publicly stated a goal for one of his companies. And then they counted how many times he |
| 2:28.0 | hit it on time, how many times he delivered but not on time, and how many times he didn't |
| 2:32.4 | deliver at all. So, Busties, how often do you think Elon delivered fully on time for his goals? What percentage of the time does Elon do the thing he says he's going to do? Yes. By the deadline, he says he's going to do it. Exactly. What is Elon's real success rate? That's our T-Boy trivia for today. The answer is at the end of the pod. So in the meantime, drop your guesses in the comments. We're going to eat them up. |
