This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, April 27th. 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. Jack, why don't you just play that stock market a record on repeat? What do we got, man? I think the Dow, NASDAQ and S&P all closed at an all-time high on Friday?

0:21.0

Uh-huh, and that's the 7,000th time we have said that this year. Yeties, we've got three

0:25.4

fantastic stories for today's all-time. Hi, Jack, what do we got in the team boy?

0:29.3

For our first story, Fernando Mendoza was the number one draft pick in the NFL draft last week,

0:35.1

and the Las Vegas Raiders are thrilled. But the real winner is actually LinkedIn.

0:41.0

For our second story, chip stocks are up 18 straight days.

0:45.5

Wow.

0:45.8

Intel just shockingly hit an all-time high.

0:49.2

It's all because of the rule of Ips.

0:50.9

When software dips, chips rip.

0:53.4

And our third and final story, the world's

0:55.5

biggest moves to regulate artificial intelligence are being made by one tiny nation. It's the

1:00.7

Vatican. No joke, the Pope is leading a worldwide AI crusade. I ever heard of him? It's an awesome

1:07.1

story. But yet he's before we hit that wonderful mix. What a mix of stories to kick off the week. No one else doing that mix, Jack. Nick and I have been chronicling the rise of something that is worse than surge pricing. Jack, I believe you're talking about surveillance pricing. Surveillance pricing. When a company stocks you online, uses the data to jack up the price on just you. Yeah, they're like that dude drives a

And it all started back in December with Instacart. We covered it on the pod. Consumer reports

1:38.8

found that different people were seeing different prices for the same stuff on Instacart.

1:42.9

$5 pickle for him, $6 pickle for her and Jack's dropping $750 for a pickle? We don't like it. So we're seeing different prices for the same stuff on Instacart. $5 pickle for him, $6 pickle for her, and Jack's dropping $750 for a pickle? We don't like it. So we're making a personalized pricing burn book to shame these companies. Jack, we got a couple new entries to log from over the weekend, baby. It looks like Uber is now doing personalized surveillance pricing. Get this, one woman was charged different prices depending on which card she was swiping.

2:02.6

And the video has gone viral because when she had her visa card linked, it was a $20 ride.

2:06.9

But then, Jack, when her Amex platinum was linked, it was a $33 ride.
