This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, March 27th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. Here's the top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Stocks are down, but T-Boy's up, and we whipped up, honestly, three best stories we've ever done. Jack, what's on today's show?

0:18.9

For our first story, Saratoga Water has more attention

0:22.3

than forever right now after it went accidentally viral. Here's the playbook on what a brand should do

0:28.1

if it goes viral by mistake. Speaking of mistakes, for our second story, it's Signalgate. That was

0:35.6

the story of the day again yesterday, as the scandal escalated

0:38.9

with more screenshots. So Jack and I looked at Signal itself, and we're reminded of a wise thing

0:44.5

our IT director once told us. And our third and final story is Sesame Street. Sesame Street is in

0:51.1

1:10.4

Here's the tea. Yep. Seven years ago,

1:12.5

Netflix Green Lake Carl Rinch to direct a new TV series. Carl Rinch said he needed $11 million

1:18.2

bucks to finish that TV series. So Carl invited Netflix executives over to his home to tell

1:24.5

them that he was over budget. So Netflix wired this director $11 million

1:28.8

to finish the filming on that film. But seven years later, he didn't finish the filming, did he, Nick?

1:34.6

No, he didn't, Jack, and why is that? That Netflix sci-fi series still isn't streaming either,

1:39.2

is it, Nick? No, it is not, and why is that, Jack? Because the director spent all $11 million personally on gambling, crypto, and five Rolls Royces.

1:49.0

Oh, we got the receipts. Literally, we have the receipts.

1:53.0

Because Netflix has pressed charges.
