| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday. February 5th in today's pot is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. |
| 0:09.3 | The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. |
| 0:12.8 | Basties, welcome to the Super Bowl of Business. I mean, Jack, the mix is so good today. So we jump right into it, man. |
| 0:18.3 | For our first story, Instacart's Super Bowl hat with Ben Stiller and Benson Boone, |
| 0:23.2 | has already gone viral. |

| 1:16.7 | Facebook. Here's the question. Are the San Francisco 49ers getting injured because of Silicon Valley |
| 1:22.3 | data centers? Here's the evidence. Twelve years ago, the 49ers moved south to Levi Stadium right near San Jose. |
| 1:29.2 | And that newish stadium also happens to be next to a newish electrical station. |
| 1:33.4 | And recent data shows a higher magnetic field around the football field as a result of that electrical substation. |
