| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, May 5th. And today's part is the best one yet this is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. All right, Jack, you remember the taco trade, right? Yeah, yeah. Trump always chickens out. But have you heard about the nacho trade? I think I did actually. What's it stand for? Not a chance Hormuz opens. That's the nacho trade. That's not what I was thinking. Yeah, the stocks fell. The shots were fired in the Strait of Hormuz. Not a good situation. Yeah, the U.S.'s project freedom was intended to guide ships through the strait, but instead the Iranians opened fire yesterday. So oil rose, stocks, and yet today's podcast is the best one we've ever done. |
| 0:40.5 | Jack, three fantastic stories for today's show. |
| 0:42.5 | What did we got on the T-boy? |
| 0:43.5 | For our first story, what happens when the king of meme stocks tries to acquire eBay? |
| 0:47.9 | Well, we just found out, and it happened yesterday. |
| 0:50.9 | For our second story, Kellogg is bringing toys back to your cereal boxes for the first time in almost 20 years. |
| 0:56.2 | Because even sugary cereal needs a little carrot. |
| 0:59.1 | And our third and final story. |
| 1:00.8 | A firm you've never even heard of just had the best quarter in Wall Street history. |
| 1:05.2 | It's called Jane Street. |
| 1:06.6 | Jane Street. |
| 1:07.6 | It's the nerdiest company ever. |
| 1:09.5 | And we got their secret job interview questions. But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Jack, how many M&Ms do you have to fit in a 747 airplane? We'll get to that in a bit. I guess we'll get to that in a bit. Yet he's, today is Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday. So Jack and I were talking, we thought we'd share one of our favorite financial theories for just such an occasion. Guac is always extra. |
| 1:31.1 | Ah, |
| 1:31.5 | guan, Tuesday. So Jack and I were talking, we thought we'd share one of our favorite financial theories |
| 1:28.1 | for just such an occasion. Gwok is always extra. Ah, Gwok is always extra. Translation, Jack. |
| 1:33.6 | In economics, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But here's the wild twist yeties. While |
| 1:37.7 | Gwok is always extra, right now, it's less extra than ever. We got a trade war, a real war in Iran. |
| 1:43.5 | Prices of everything have been popping for five years. And yet the iconic avocado that has bankrupted our Venmo account is down. And it's according to Fed data. Avocado prices are lower today than they were 10 years ago. Get this, the average avocado over Kroger, it's under one buck. Small avocados, they're 45 cents at H.E.B. Chipotle is still charged in $2.95, but everywhere else, it is cheaper. The avocado has gone from Ferrari prices to Ford's. Yeah, it's got from Aramae's prices to mayonnaise prices. And the reason is down in Mexico, we had the best avocado harvest since the Mayans. |
| 2:18.9 | Yeah, those Mayans. You see, we had the perfect amount of rain, the perfect amount of sun. |
| 2:22.4 | 2026, the weather has been avocado idyllic. |
| 2:25.3 | And longer term, Mexico has been doubling down on millennials' favorite fruit by changing fields from whatever was there before to avocado trees today. |
