This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, October 30th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. The top three pop-is-this news stories you need to know today. All right, Jack, I got one more costume to add to our business-themed costume list. You ready for this one? Yes. Robocop Brian Chesky. I'm not following. You know the story to yesterday on how, like, they're cracking out of parties over at Airbnb? Oh, yeah, the AI party police. Because Brian Chesky's like Liam Neeson and Taken. If you host a party in Halloween, he will find you and he will kill you. His particular set of skills is an algorithm. He's a Jack dude. I wouldn't mess with them at all, Jack.

But three fantastic stories for today's show.

What have we got for the T-boy?

For our first story,

Nvidia just became the first company ever to pass a $5 trillion valuation.

Because Nvidia's AI computer chips aren't like railroad tracks.

They're like flower bouquets. And we'll explain.

For our second story, it's Fruitist, a startup that invented jumbo blueberries the size of golf balls.

Yeah, true story. Now, Fruitist is getting big Wall Street money because their blueberries have made character energy.

And our third and final story. President Trump is meeting President

she today to talk trade, but we want to talk Shark Tank. Because if you want to understand the

trade war, you just have to watch this season of Shark Tank. But Yetis, before we hit that

wonderful mix of stories. And for that reason, I'd like to hear our three stories. Shocker,

every new story this week is about the

record high prices of candy. Chocolate prices have doubled in 2024. They're up another 29%

so far this year. The 100 grand bar cost 250 grand now. Jack, even gummy bears saw a 15% price

pop in the last year. And there's no chocolate. No chocolate. Sugar inflation. It's not

sweet for anyone, including dentists. But consumers have found a clever solution to this year's

candy conundrum. It's called the candy salad. The candy salad. In this economy,

candy salads are the new TikTok trick-or-treat trick. Kind of like a fruit salad, but not fruit.

Candies in there. Yeah, you basically take 12 different candy bags. You open them up and you pour them into a salad bowl. That's a candy salad. Your base can be Twix's and Reese's cups. That's a solid foundation, Jack. And then your toppings can be M&Ms, Hershey's Kisses, and Baby Ruths. I like it. It's a well-balanced selection.

What about some nerd clusters bedazzled on top?
