| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, so we're here Wednesday, June 3rd. And today's part is the best one. Yeah, this is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. That is. We just landed in lovely Los Angeles. We already hit Great White for lunch. Then the Beethoven for dinner. And Jack, since we're in L.A. We each had to pay 12 bucks for turmeric wellness shots on ice. Immunity live show week. It's a right off, baby. I'll be at Muscle Beach tomorrow morning. I like that for you. Before the show. Okay, I'll be at Erwan spending more of our company money, Jack. And if you see two dudes playing pickup volleyball at 7 a.m., get us out of there. We're going to hurt ourselves. Or it may be us prepping for the live podcast show tonight. We are pumped to be here, but Jack, we got three fantastic stories for today's pod. For our first story, it's official. Steph Curry has ended his sneaker-free agency. But it's with a Chinese brand that you've never heard of. For our second story, Google just asked for the biggest check in business history and got it. |
| 0:56.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:57.1 | $80 billion. |
| 0:58.8 | We call this the OPO. |
| 1:01.2 | An old public offering. |
| 1:02.7 | It's a new thing. |
| 1:03.4 | And our third and final story. |
| 1:04.8 | The 28th hotel brand launched by Hilton is actually a glorified college dorm room. |
| 1:09.7 | That's right. |
| 1:10.2 | Hilton's new hotel chain is inspired by old school with Will Farrell. Nick and I should know, because we met in a college dorm room. You're my boy, Blue! But yet he's, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories, most interesting mix in business, Jack. Pelvis implants. Okay. A meat slicer. An ankle monitor not on someone's ankle anymore. Jack, I don't know what pelvic implants are, but have you been in L.A. too long? One signed Patrick Mahomes jersey. Two wedding dresses. Three pounds of blue raspberry gushers. I'm going to have to pause the pod. What are you getting at exactly, Jack? of that was left in the backseat of an Uber in the last year. Yeah, it is. Jack and I just landed |
| 1:48.0 | it. I'm going to have to pause the pod. What are you getting at exactly, Jack? All of that was left in the backseat of an Uber in the last year. Yeah, it is. Jack and I just landed at L-A-X and we called a cab. |
| 1:50.5 | But we did not leave our podcast equipment behind. But according to Uber, one person left 420 donuts in a |
| 1:57.1 | cab last year. And that person was hungry enough to file an official lost and found report. Get this, 2017. Someone left the live lobster in a cab last year. And that person was hungry enough to file an official lost and found report. |
| 2:01.7 | Get this, 2017, someone left a live lobster in an Uber. |
| 2:05.3 | In 2018, someone left divorce papers in an Uber. |
| 2:08.8 | But this year, someone left a 75 gallon fish tank in an Uber X. |
| 2:13.5 | Uber didn't clarify if there were fish in that tank. |
| 2:15.6 | But this is all according to Uber's 2026 lost and Found Report. For 10 years, Uber has been keeping track because you have not been keeping track. And yes, cell phones, wallets, and luggage are the three most commonly forgotten things. But one of you, yes, one of you left a package of live butterflies in the backseat. How relatable. But Jack and I dove and teaboyced out to the data. |
| 2:35.9 | Jack, what's the most forgetful place in America? New York City. Yeah, makes sense. New Yorkers are in a rush. What about the most forgetful day of the week? Sundays. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that ride of shame is a blur. Wallets were most lost on Mondays. While bags were most lost on Thursdays. |
| 2:49.6 | The day with the most forgotten stuff in all of the last 12 months? |
| 2:53.3 | This one's a shocker. |
| 2:54.4 | July 6th. Jack, why was July 17th the most forgetful day of the year in America losing stuff in an Uber? I think the All-Star game, Major League Baseball All-Star game? Drop your theory in the comments. It's not Fourth of July weekend. Or conspiracy theories in the comments. We actually do have a conspiracy. I think a certain Lady Gaga had something to do it.
