| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Tuesday, January 20th, and today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. |
| 0:09.3 | The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Jack, can I just say that since we |
| 0:13.7 | interviewed the elf CEO, you're glowing. Yeah, it looked like you're 18 again over there, man. |
| 0:18.7 | Well, I haven't put into practice the personalized skincare routine he prescribed for me. Yeah, he's reading to tell you this, but the Elf CEO introduced Jack to the Fountain of Youth. I'm still waiting for the products. He claims he shipped to me in the mail. But in the meantime, we've got three fantastic pop business stories for today's show. Jack, what do we got on the pod? |
| 0:37.8 | For our first story, Spotify is popping prices again. Many of you listeners will have to pay |
| 0:42.4 | Spotify $1 more per month starting next month. And Spotify stock is all-time high in because of it. |
| 0:48.8 | But their next big opportunity, it's actually in fitness. For our second story, the newest hire at the Gap is a new CEO, chief entertainment officer. |

| 1:07.2 | BYOP. |
| 1:07.9 | Bring your own power. |
| 1:09.0 | And the winner of the BYOP trend, it's G.E. Vernova, which has a four-year |
| 1:13.9 | wait list for their power products. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. |
| 1:18.6 | Oh, the mix. Love the mix to kick off the four-day week. The year 2016 went viral last week. |
| 1:26.1 | 2016, everyone's posting picks of themselves back from 2016 10 years ago. |
| 1:30.4 | The jeans were skinnier, the avocados were toastier, and Rihanna found love in hopeless places. |
| 1:35.7 | Because 10 years ago, life was less crazy, wasn't it? |
| 1:39.8 | And 2016 was kind of the last year of normalcy, if you think about it. |
| 1:43.3 | But what about the business world of |
| 1:45.0 | 2016? Let's dive in T-boy style, Jack. Back in 2016, the S&P 500 was at 2,000 points. Today, it's at |
| 1:52.9 | 7,000 points. Wow. Stocks have tripled, more than tripled in 10 years. Okay, back in 2016, |
