This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, Saviche Wednesday, October 1st, and today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Jack, I'm checking the calendar here. First day of the fourth quarter. You know what that means, my friend. Three months left to complete your New Year's resolution. Remember the one you made back in January? Yeah, no pressure, besties. Just Jack and Nick reminding you. But this isn't about your New Year's resolution. These last three months is your New Year's redemption. Couldn't have said a better, Jack. Three stories for today's Tea Boy. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, DoorDash just unveiled their first food delivery robot. It's called Dot, and it reminds us of a puppy. Because this robot proves the most underrated advantage in business. Cuteness. For our second story, as of this recording, the United States was on track for a federal government shutdown starting today. So Jack and I will tell you what to expect using hummus bowls and soybeans.

And our third and final story.

0:59.3

Why did Etsy's arts and craft stock jump 16% on Monday?

1:03.4

Why, Jack?

hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, what a mix of stories. Love the mix for Citi Wednesday, Jack.

1:17.9

Happy Q4 to all who celebrate. Thank you, Jack. Today, it's the first day of the final quarter of the

1:24.8

year. Congratulations. The next three months of the fiscal year,

1:28.3

they're going to be fantastic. Every CEO is popping champagne and celebrating today. You earned it.

1:33.5

But as you know, Yetis, we have a T-boy tradition. On the first day of the new quarter, we share

1:38.4

some publicly traded poetry. Some highly profitable poetry, Jack. Now, I'm actually not prepared. You go first.

1:45.7

I got two poems for you here, Jack. One of them is a limerick about the Spotify CEO.

1:51.8

Okay, the other one I kind of made inspired by you. It's about one of the stocks that you own.

1:57.0

All right, just kick it off. Here we go. Our heart revs for you at every turn.

2:02.1

Engines of history, oh, do we yearn. From Model T to Mustang's roar, you built our country's

2:07.5

factory floor. But Ford, oh, Ford, we speak to thee. Your stock still trade so stubbornly.

2:14.7

I know, because Jack still owns your shares, and he's the one who really cares.

2:19.6

Yes. You promise EVs in every fleet, but the margins sputter on the street. Detroit's proud

2:25.7

son, Blue Oval Strong, we've held your ticker all along. Yes, a lot of debt may stall your pace
