| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday, the real Friday, May 8th, and today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. |
| 0:10.0 | The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. I mean, you're at the coolest place in capitalism. Jack, we've got three fantastic stories. Should we just hit the show? |
| 0:18.0 | For our first story, Netflix is a joke. That's Netflix's Comedy Festival, and it has completely taken over Los Angeles for the third time. |
| 0:26.6 | Because the number one profit puppy and media right now is laughter. |
| 0:30.6 | For our second story, Anthropics signed a huge deal to rent compute from SpaceX AI. |
| 0:35.6 | Because the enemy of Elon's enemy is a data center. And our third |
| 0:41.0 | and final story, there's never been a better time to invest in a specialty bottle of bourbon. |
| 0:46.4 | Besties is whiskey, the new Nvidia, or did we just drink too much? But yet he's before we hit that |
| 0:51.4 | wonderful mix of stories. I mean, like we said, best mix in the business. |
| 0:54.3 | I love what we got going today, Jack. |
| 0:55.8 | T-minus 48 hours until the mother of all American holidays. |
| 1:00.0 | Mother's Day, baby, America's Floral Super Bowl. |
| 1:04.0 | Mother's Day, the annual stress test of America's telecommunications industry. |
| 1:08.0 | Always call your mother pasta pod. |
| 1:10.0 | But there is a big |
| 1:11.2 | trend that Jack and I must update you on immediately. Breakfast in bed is dead. Breakfast in bed is dead. |
| 1:17.7 | Besties get this. New data shows that we are in a breakfast in bed recession. The data is from |
| 1:22.2 | open table, so they're biased. They say that only 4% of American moms want breakfast in bed this Sunday. That's right, only 4% of moms are willing to risk the maple syrup on the mattress. Now we know you prepped the pancakes, we know you whipped up the waffle batter already. But a vast majority of moms are paranoid that yogurt is getting on the duvet. Honey, watch out! And this holiday is not about you, it's about her. So you're gonna have to just put that batter away and save it for another day. Okay, but the result of this phenomenon, as breakfast in bed hit all-time lows, Mother's Day brunch out has hit all-time highs. According to Open Table, 12 p.m. on Mother's Day is the most in-demand lunch reservation of the entire year. |
| 2:00.9 | Oh, and when Mama goes out, she goes out big these days. |
| 2:04.8 | She goes huge. |
| 2:05.6 | The check sizes jump 32% on Mother's Day. |
