| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, October 20th. 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. Well, here we are with everyone's favorite business news show. Jack, our stories are so good today. Should we just get into it? For our first story, F1 should rebrand to iraicing because Apple just snagged the TV |
| 0:24.9 | rights to Formula One. Apple is paying $700 million for F1 because this is a fashion statement. |
| 0:32.1 | For our second story, it's the hottest selling fruit in America right now. Dates. |
| 0:37.0 | America is date maxing right now, |
| 0:39.9 | and they're getting an assist, shockingly, from climate change. And our third and final story is |
| 0:45.3 | Ramp. It's a $23 billion startup selling business credit cards and expense management. But Ramp just |
| 0:51.6 | hired a cast member from the office as CFO, and their blog is a must read. It's not Dwight Shrewd. No, no, no. But we'll explain more. If you know, you know. But yet he's, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Wow, what a mix of stories to start the week. Love the pre-Hollary Halloween week, Jack. We hope you had a fun night or two this past weekend. |

| 1:20.8 | Bit of an oxymoron, but story for another pot. In the meantime, the biggest question we must all be asking is, how much did you tip? |
| 1:28.6 | The bigger question, which city has the best tippers? |
| 1:32.2 | Okay, Jack, even bigger question, which city has the worst tippers? |
| 1:36.3 | Because yet he's tipping has become one of the most controversial topics in this economy. |
| 1:41.4 | Yeah, because in this economy, tipflation, oh, you are tip feeling it right now. |
| 1:46.1 | There was tip creep early in 2020, 2021, then we had tip fatigue in 2022, 2023. |
| 1:51.6 | Trump's big campaign proposal last year, no taxes on the tips. |
| 1:55.9 | But back to the question, which city has the top tippers? |
| 1:58.7 | And Jack, the answer, please. Denver, Colorado. Yeah, it's |
| 2:02.3 | Denver. The average tip is a mile high, 21.2% over in Denver. The second top tippers is Austin, |
| 2:08.6 | Texas at 21.1% tips. Then you got Seattle, Miami, Houston, rounding out the top five with an average |
