| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday. September 18th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. |
| 0:12.6 | Yet is yesterday, Jack and I did a story on how the treadmill is the most popular workout in America. Jack, do you notice the DMs? Based on the DMs, every one of our listeners is on a treadmill right now. By the way, Jack and I make every one of our stories four and a half minutes. So after each story, just turn up the incline by 0.5 and you should be good for the day. Did any of the DMs sympathize with me having fallen on the treadmill? Jack doesn't run on the treadmill. The treadmill runs on Jack. |
| 0:38.5 | Jack, three stories for today's team boy. What do we got to the pod? For our first story, |
| 0:43.1 | Shark Ninja, this home appliance stock has more than tripled in the last two years. Because |
| 0:48.5 | Shark Ninja doesn't care about celebrities, cool people, or Gwyneth Baldrow. They care about |
| 0:53.6 | the grassroots. For our second |
| 0:56.3 | story, it's the Fed. They just made their biggest announcement of the year. The Fed finally cut |
| 1:01.2 | interest rates for this economy. Because the most important magic in your life isn't Harry Potter, |
| 1:06.6 | its interest rates. And our third and final story is the biggest comeback product of 2025. |
| 1:12.2 | To the landline telephone. Landline! Millennial parents are bringing back the landline, but not for them, |
| 1:18.2 | it's for the kids. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, fantastic mix of |
| 1:23.8 | stories. And yes, this is your cue to increase the treadmill by 0.5 on the incline. |
| 1:28.3 | The first rule of sushi club, don't talk about sushi club. I'm sorry, Jack, what the heck |
| 1:33.3 | is sushi club? It's a real thing. It's kind of a big deal, actually. Nike just collabed with |
| 1:38.7 | no boot, the fancy sushi chain for a new brand called Sushi Club. That's right, Eddie, Sushi Club, a fashion concept that combined sneakers with thinly |
| 1:47.8 | sliced pieces of fish. |
| 1:49.8 | Not an onion that line. |
| 1:51.1 | This is a true story. |
| 1:51.9 | It's a collab involving a sneaker brand and a sashimi brand. |
| 1:55.7 | Jack and I'll serve up some context here. |
| 1:57.8 | You see, Nobu is the Louis Vu ton of sushi, charging 50 bucks per a spike |
| 2:02.0 | of that sea urchin. No, we did a story recently on Nobu, because they've expanded to hotels |
