This is Nick. This is Jack and this is snacks daily welcome back. It is Monday, November 22nd.

Big week. The leaves are falling. The snacks are up. There we go. I could smell the turkey already. Jack, I just got off the flight to New York City. I got to tell you, Jack, there is a national shortage of bin space. It is official overhead bin space for running out of this.

Did they make you check it? I finagled a situation. Let's just leave it at that. This is the best one yet though. Today's pod. The captain's closet is high quality real quick.

I'm just gonna push it over here for our first story. Peckco just revealed the future of flagship stores. If they're serving puppy ice cream, then it's not just a store. For our second story, two nuclear power startups just got $2.5 billion of free government money. The future of nuclear isn't big a wedding cake nuclear. It's small cupcake nuclear. You always mentioned cupcakes for our third and final story. All US adults are now clear to get their vaccine booster.

But here's the big question. Who gets the vaccine recipe. But before we hit that wonderful mix, they stole our recipe. It's Harder's Almanac week 88 week 88 Jack and I have been keeping track of things were run out of because the pandemic last year. It was Harder's Almanac week like 35. Yeah, it was brutal. And fix giving had a shortage of people at your table. Yeah, Uncle Sean stayed up stayed and cousin Lindsay was dining from her dorm room. But this year, it's a shortage of turkey. Yeah.

Not enough birds to bodies. That's the ratio. Snackers according to the US Department of Agriculture. Turkey production this year is down 24% compared to last year. If so, fact of Turkey prices, they're up 20% compared to last year. Record high. Do more butterball.

Turkey's are quitting their day jobs like it's the great resignation. And it's not just a shortage of Turkey's. No, no, no, no, it's not turkeys are in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's right. Many farmers are saying that they raised the same number of turkeys last year. It's not their fault. But here's the problem. Those birds are lost in a supply chain limbo. They don't even know where they are.

Apparently, there's protein packed trains backed up between like Chicago and chat new gusome. So that bird should be on your table, but it's actually stuck in Tallahassee. But Nick, no turkey, no cry in your situation. Yeah, full disclosure. My mom's going with a roast pork this year. She's really switching things up on us. We actually didn't have a say. If there's no turkey, there's always some roast beast somewhere.

I'm this close to chasing after a pigeon on the street. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over the entire United States? It's as good a year as ever to be thankful for whatever you do have this Thanksgiving. Even if it's a half portion of faux turkey substitute. Happy Thanksgiving week, everybody. Let's hit our three thankful stories.

By the way, we're only doing three pods this week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, still T-bori.

For our first story, petco stock plummeted last week. It was rough, but petco's newest star is the next evolution in our favorite retail take away. Okay, first of all, I guess Jack technically we can't say petco anymore. It's not petco.

They renamed themselves to petco health and wellness company. It's important that pets have a bark life balance. You got to have that on their website. They immediately showed the CEO and the show the CEO's dog whose name is yummy and who was recently promoted to CDO, chief dog office.

This feels like a nepotistic red flag like SEC. Can you guys get on this? Someone should look into this. Now last week, the stock plummeted by 15% after they've reported earnings petco enjoyed at six to eight quarter of double digit growth, but you know, analysts have high expectations. It wasn't enough. They wanted more well adopt a polluza, which started when I adopted river last March. It is slowing down who rescued whom the highlight of the earnings report that really got mixed my attention is the new flag show.

New flagship store in so how district New York City interestingly this new flagship. It's not a petco store when you're looking at this. It's actually called ready, which is petco's high end in house dog.

And ready's flagship store. This is just a difficult flagship store. This store, this store is universal studios in a store. It's like a so how's. But you have to have four legs to get it.

It's actually equinox if equinox was dedicated to worshiping last the whole store. It's not about customers. It's about customers pets. Exactly. Your golden doodle. They're going to just get pampered here beyond ways they could even believe they have a fashion station for

the new onsite monogramming of the fancy dog codes that they have for sale. And then when your dogs finish getting their coat, maybe they walk over to the their words, a nutrition station for custom supplements for that cock up smoothies with organic bison probably.

But you know, we know not all dogs are the salty kind. They do want some sweets. So this store has what they call a treatery where they're serving whipped cream cookies for dogs for when rivers feeling indulge.

And then of course there's an Insta wall their words so that you can snap some Insta worthy picks. Showing off that monogrammed fancy dog jacket that you buy by the way, Jack, we almost forgot the best part. If you call an advance, you can speak to a dog concierge.

Come on. No seriously, they have a concierge. You're like walks you through the whole process, plans out the whole day of activities for your dog. I'm a human being. I've never got that kind of customer service.

Yeah, the only thing you're getting there is a human is like free Wi-Fi. Now, Nick and I saw this and we're like, it's not a flagship. It's an amusement park for pet dogs.

This is an amusement park and you could spend your entire Saturday there. So Jack, what is the takeaway for our buddies over at pet dogs? Every brand needs an amusement park flagship store.
