0:00.0	This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, January 28th. And today's pod is the best one yet.
0:08.7	This is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Well, stocks fell big yesterday, Jack. You know why? Your stock market birthday winning streak is over. Well, it's not my birthday week anymore, so it's not my
0:21.2	fault. I can't blame me. I had stocks going up for a full week, man. Well, our first story is why stocks fell.
0:26.6	Yes, it is, Jack. Three fantastic stories for today's pod. What do we got on the T-boy?

1:24.5	And inside is the product we're covering in this week's episode. I got three
1:28.8	clues and you have to guess the iconic product. Bring it on, Jack. What do we got?
1:32.5	Clue number one. This product was initially made for Thai truck drivers. Oh, was it spicy?
1:37.5	Maybe something for your back? Maybe help so? Long rides. Decent gas. But now,
1:41.6	clue number two, it's a drink, but it's better known for extreme sports.
1:46.2	Definitely spicy. It's got to be spicy. No, it's not spicy. One's here. Clue number three,
