There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hey and welcome to the short stuff I'm Josh.

There's Chuck.

There's other Josh who's basically fast becoming, he's gunning at Jerry's heels.

I would say Chuck, wouldn't you agree?

Well, I think at the very least he's the new Frank the Chair.

For sure.

He may soon be the new bird, the bobbing bird.

Oh, that's right.

At any rate, we're glad Josh is here.

We need almost two inanimate objects.

We just ate up about a third of our time.

We're going to have to remove the ending from this one, okay?

Yeah, this one is interesting because I read the original New York Times piece from 1905

or whatever.

Lala.
