| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday. January 29th. And today's spot is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. I'm sorry, made a mistake. It's not the best one yet. It's the best one yet because Jack's inflatable vest from yesterday has grown into today's podcast too, hasn't it, Jack? Dude, I did another talk today. And again, I wanted to signal I used to work in my hands, but now I ski all the time. Actually, besties, the reason Jack's wearing a vest is T-Boy is going to the Starbucks Investor Day today. We're seeing the CEO in person. True. Nick, when I had to register, they asked me, what's your favorite Starbucks drink? |
| 0:39.6 | I went super, like, basic and frugal. I said a venty pikes roast with room for cream. Did you say drip coffee? I did. I said drip coffee. Just give me the decaf rap. Jack, three stories for today's Dee Boy, what have we got on the pod? |
| 0:53.1 | For our first story, |
| 0:54.6 | some rich dude announced he's paying the USA Olympic athletes $200,000 each. |
| 0:59.6 | Oh, and J.P. Morgan Bank of America and Nikki Minaj are donating to the Trump investment accounts for kids. |
| 1:06.1 | What we're noticing, billionaires are donating more than ever, but in a very particular way. |
| 1:10.8 | Yes, they are. |
| 1:11.6 | For our second story, Tesla just reported their worst earnings ever by far, and yet the |
| 1:16.6 | stock rose close to an all-time high. |
| 1:18.6 | Because investors think Tesla's like a young avocado tree again. |
| 1:22.6 | And our third and final story. |
| 1:24.6 | Bill Gates' daughter just raised money at a $180 million valuation |
| 1:28.9 | for a self-driving shopping app. Because a dress that's $200 at one store is $80 at another. |
| 1:35.8 | But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. |
| 1:38.6 | Oh my, your best hit my eye. I'm very excited for Starbucks Investor Day, by the way. |
| 1:42.9 | The best thing you can do for your |
| 1:44.8 | career, apparently, it's to be it your fucking over that. We repeat, if you're trying to maximize |
| 1:53.0 | your income or close that deal or snag of promotion, then drop a big old fat. This story is brought |
| 1:59.3 | to us by Yeti Lloyd Brotman, who sent us a study from American |
| 2:02.5 | psychologist on the big benefits of cursing. |
| 2:05.4 | Jackals, Jumpin' Tea Boy style, what was the wild cursing experiment, man? |
| 2:09.1 | Scientists asked 300 people to hold a plank as long as they possibly could. |
