Summary
One stock defies politics: Axon… They found unity (reducing deaths) in a divisive topic (policing).
Coca-Cola’s holiday commercial is here, and it’s AI-generated… headlines show hate, but data shows love.
The publicly traded stock is Beta… they do electric airplanes, but the real business is Charge Cubes.
Plus, the cool new business is waiting (literally)... waiting on line for you (aka “Line Dudes”)

| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, Sanjee, Wednesday, November 5th, and today's pod. It's the best one yet. This is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Basties, the New York mayoral election just drew its highest voter turnout since 2001. Jack, that year, what else was happening? That's the year that Mike Bloomberg replaced Rudy Giuliani as the mayor of New York City. |
| 0:24.6 | Now, yiddies, we don't have the results as of this recording, but we will provide coverage |
| 0:28.7 | on the economic and business consequences of the elections in tomorrow's pod. |
| 0:32.8 | But we do have three fantastic pop business news stories. |
| 0:36.9 | I mean, these are so good. |
| 0:38.3 | Jack, what do we got on the pod? |
| 0:40.3 | For our first story, Coca-Cola's new holiday commercial, it's got Christmas critters, a big red Santa, but it's all AI. |
| 0:47.3 | The headline in the comments say we hate AI art, but the data says we actually don't. |
| 0:52.3 | For our second story, on this day after election day, one stock defies politics. |
| 0:58.0 | It's Axon, the maker of tasers. |
| 1:00.2 | Because Axon figured out how to make a device of business bipartisan. |
| 1:04.4 | And our third and final story is the newest Wall Street IPO. |
| 1:08.0 | It's an electric airplane called Beta. |
| 1:10.8 | Electric plane? A plane that you plug in. But beta's real secret, it's making money on |
| 1:15.7 | electric airplanes, even if you don't buy one of theirs. |
| 1:18.7 | Cha-chang button. Okay. Oh, yeah, all right, I got the button right here. All right, you get the |
| 1:22.6 | button today. Well, that's the one time you could pass it. That was satisfied. |
| 1:26.8 | That was good. But Yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories. Love the mix on the pod jack. The odds are, statistically speaking, with a 99% degree of confidence, you are in line right now. That's right. Basties, you are sitting standing waiting somewhere on a line. Because if something is hard to get, I want to get it. |
| 1:44.8 | And you're willing to stand in line to get that thing. |
| 1:47.8 | The most active thing you can do right now is doing nothing in a line. |
| 1:50.7 | Which leads to the newest industry, line waiters. |
| 1:53.8 | Yep. |
