| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, April 30th, and today's pod is the best one, yet this one is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Well, happy National Justin Timberlake Day to all those who celebrate out there. Because today is the last day in April, which means tomorrow it's going to be May. |
| 0:22.7 | Although I'm team Brittany, so this is just so typically May. |
| 0:27.3 | Either way, we are bringing three sexy stories back to the pod. |
