| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, March 24th. And today's part is the best one yet this is a T-boy. The top three pop business stores you need to know today. All right, we got a quotable. President Trump told the world he's now, quote, very intent on making a deal with Iran. Markets loved the flip in the tone from the president, from saber rattling a couple days ago to peace-seeking today. And you know Jack's and my formula. Oil prices go down, stock prices go up, today's pot. It's the best one yet. By the way, it is March 24th. Yeah. Sorry about the freak out yesterday morning with our date error. Jack and I calendared our mixed-ups, or we mixed up our calendars. |
| 0:40.4 | In the meantime, Jack, three fantastic stories for the best mix in business. |
| 0:43.6 | What do we got? |
| 0:44.1 | For our first story, Larry Fink is the biggest money manager in the world. |
| 0:49.3 | He oversees $14 trillion. |
| 0:52.1 | With a capital T, but he says the safest investment strategy is also the riskiest. |
| 0:57.5 | For our second story, how is BabyList selling $500 million of baby gear when millennials aren't |
| 1:03.3 | having many babies? Well, to find out, we're looking at BabyList's new store, which doubles |
| 1:07.6 | as an influencer studio. And our third and final story is Walmart. |
| 1:12.5 | It's making all of its price tags digital by the end of this year. |
| 1:16.6 | Um, surge pricing in Isle 6? |
| 1:18.9 | Uh, we're going to take away here. |
| 1:20.7 | With companies optimizing prices, we've got a field guide on how to avoid them. |
| 1:25.2 | But yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa! Love the mix. Honestly, fantastic mix today, Jack. The most viral luxury skin care right now that you need to know about, it's actually made of kelp. Get this, though, it's kelp that listen to music. First of all, kelp, it's like the grass of the ocean, right, Nick? Basically like |
| 1:44.5 | kale, but it's enjoyed by the little mermaid. So this brand is called Creme de la Mere, and it's |
| 1:49.1 | the hottest skin cream from Jennifer Lopez to Chris Hemsworth. But this skin cream secret ingredient |
| 1:54.1 | is a 24-7 DJ who plays music to it. Here's the context. La Mere was invented by a crazy surfer dude out in California who |
| 2:02.8 | loved kelp until the company got acquired by Estee Lauder. The key ingredient, Miracle Broth, |
| 2:08.1 | which has been marinating in the sea kelp. But for some reason, this $400 jar of miracle broth |
| 2:15.0 | wasn't working after that Estee Laudel closed. So Estee Lotto went back in the |
| 2:19.7 | books and checked the OG recipe and what did they find, Jack? They found a missing ingredient. It was |
| 2:25.0 | music. Music, you play the sound of the ocean into the tank to turbocharge that kelp baby. |
