Summary
The new trend in fees? The Flake Fee — From restaurants to salons to spin classes, more Americans are getting charged for canceling last second.
We’re in the middle of Netflix is a Joke, the 12 day comedy fest in LA that’s streamed live on Netflix — Netflix is betting on a live streamed comedy fest, because First Movers keep moving.
And Uber & Instacart are rivals, but just moved into each other’s apps — And it’s all to take on DoorDash, because “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
Plus, It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week, so Nick & Jack shoutout some of the greatest ones yet.
