| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday the real Friday, April 17th. And today's pot is the best one yet. This is a D-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. I'm sorry, Jack, breaking news. Allbirds just launched a crypto coin. Of course they did. Wait, more breaking news. Don't tell me you bought the stock. |
| 0:21.5 | Allbirds just launched a spiked seltzer. What's next? They just merged with Laboubu. Couldn't make this up. Jack, couldn't make this kind of stuff up. Nick, birds aren't real. Don't you know that? I forgot about that. Jack, three fantastic stories for today's Dey Boy. What do we got in the best show in business? |

| 0:38.3 | For our first story, Saudi Arabia's huge bet on golf is reportedly over. |
| 0:42.7 | This is Live Golf's last season. |
| 0:44.8 | Yeti, sometimes you see a business and you just got to yell. |
| 0:48.2 | Four! |
| 0:49.1 | For our second story, storage units. |
| 0:51.8 | Storage units have become the severed snape of real estate. You love |
| 0:55.4 | them and you hate them. And now storage units and data centers are getting banned. And our third |
| 1:01.3 | and final story, it's QVC. They invented shoppertainment, but now they're going bankrupt. This is |
| 1:06.5 | the B-School case study on QVC, and it ends with a Netflix DVD. But yet, he, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, it's like we said, heading into the weekend with the best mix we've ever done. Love it, Jack. The hottest job on Wall Street right now isn't an analyst or managing director or even senior VP of T&TM and A says? No, no, no, no, no. The highest job on Wall Street is Coffee Tester. |
| 1:29.2 | That's professional coffee taster. |

But in order to ensure coffee quality, the market demands that those beans be vetted for quality. Aha, and that is where these pro-coffee snobs come into our story. It's like Seal Team 6 for lattes. Jack, it's like Delta Force for decaf. It's the Skull and Bone Society for sipping beans at Dunkin' Because besties, they're making sure that these Great A. Arabica beans ain't TEMU beans for you. And given the amount of money at stake in the coffee bean market, this secretive team is locked up on the eighth floor of the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 2:17.8 | Raiden Machiatos like their job depends on it. |
