This is our best one, yeah. Yeah, it is Jack. Did you go to space this weekend? No, still on the wait list.

0:20.0

First story, Jack. What do we got? Facebook is about to report their quarterly earnings. Yeah, but Mark Zuckerberg just gave a pretty huge interview.

0:28.0

This is wild. Facebook's new thing is an app. It's the metaverse for our second story, Kimberly Clark, probably manufactured the toilet paper on your roll. Right.

Introducing Horders, Almanac week 71. Yep, Jack and I been keeping track of all the things we're run out of because of the pandemic. For example, we ran out of fireworks.
