| 0:00.8 | This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, September 15th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This. Oh, it's a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Now, Yetis, Jack and I got a message from the heart we want to share with you in a moment. But in the meantime, we've left up three fantastic stories to start your week. |
| 0:21.0 | I mean, Jack, no one else is covering these. I love the mix. What do we got in today's pod? |
| 0:25.3 | For our first story, Allo Yoga just launched a handbag, and it cost $3,600. |
| 0:32.1 | But Jack, Aldi, the grocery store, also just launched a handbag. But this one is free. It's a tale of two handbags |
| 0:40.2 | and it explains the whole economy. Yes, it does, baby. For our second story, the number one topic on |
| 0:45.9 | Wall Street this week, all week, yes, is going to be the Fed. And what will the Fed decide this Wednesday? |
| 0:51.0 | It's all about stagflation, when the economy is on fire and is flooding at the same time. |
| 0:58.0 | And our third and final story is Pinterest. |
| 1:01.3 | Their stock is up this year, thanks to 179 million men. |
| 1:06.3 | Honey, check out that Cadillac I just pinned on my page. |
| 1:10.1 | It's the return of the pin dude. Creatine, pin it, baby. But yet is, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, I love the mix of stories today, Jack. Over the weekend, Nick and I read some of your DMs. We both felt a weight, and we wanted to share that weight with you. You know, personally, Basties, my hands have been full. You know, it's our first week back at work with my second baby at home. So I feel like I've been in turbo mode, like 110% at home helping out Molly and Selena and Maxi. And then 110% when I'm in the studio with Jack working on the pod. So I just, I haven't really had much time to reflect. |
| 1:45.3 | But over the weekend, I did have some time to reflect. |
| 1:48.5 | And seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated, that was horrifying last week. |
| 1:54.1 | He's a young dad. |
| 1:55.6 | He's a man who put himself out there in hard conversations. |
| 2:00.2 | And in doing that, he got murdered in broad daylight. |
| 2:04.1 | Regardless of what you think of his politics. And in the spirit of openness, we didn't agree with |
| 2:08.9 | this politics. But no one deserves that. And as a couple of guys who speak to microphones for a living, |
| 2:16.3 | we can tell you, that's not what this country is |
| 2:18.3 | about either. Now, Bessie's, Jack and I, when we make decisions on what we're going to cover |
| 2:23.8 | on the show and how we're going to do it and how we're going to say it, there is an element |
| 2:27.4 | of a lot of people thinking, hey, stay in your guys lane. But we hope we're not just talking |
