| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. And this is Snacks daily. It is Wednesday midweek November 10th, baby. Looking at the scoreboard, Bitcoin is at a record high |
| 0:09.2 | 67,000 Jack looking at the same scoreboard Ethereum. That's at a record high. Stock markets overall also record high. S&P 500. Snacks are at a record delicious |
| 0:17.5 | This is my favorite pod we've ever done Jack. Today's pod is the best one yet. This is a TVLI first story |
| 0:22.3 | What do we got? Rivian made the first mass market electric pickup truck and goes public as a stock today. |
| 0:28.4 | Pickups and drop offs. That is what Rivian does. Crab kicks and football. For our second story, GE was once the most powerful company on earth and now GE is splitting up. |
| 0:39.5 | The American conglomerate is dead. Long live the tech conglomerate. For our third and final story, PayTM. Great name for like a digital finance company. |
| 0:50.5 | It works on multiple levels and that's clever. PayTM is the biggest IPO in India history. Snackers, it's like Venmo if the US government said paper money was either |
| 1:00.7 | But Snackers, it's not just Wednesday. It's national vanilla cupcake day. National vanilla cupcake day. That one time a year when it's socially acceptable to eat four cupcakes of lunch instead of two. Snackers quick side note here. |
| 1:14.6 | Nick loves cupcakes. I've got one on the side. I got one in the back room. You keep one in the freezer. It's a fruzy cake. You can have it whenever you want. They never go back. |
| 1:23.2 | I'm more of a nice cream guy, but Nick likes to indulge in the chocolate. He lavishes in the red velvet and he munches on the mint chocolate chip. |
| 1:30.5 | But every now and then Jack, I got to say vanilla vanilla cupcakes. They got no love. I understand why the Nala doesn't get it. Except for today. |
| 1:37.8 | Because the most successful vanilla cupcake of all time we've discovered what it is. It's the twinkie. Yeah, the twinkie. Technically the twinkie is a vanilla cupcake recipe. |
| 1:47.5 | But here's what happened. The company behind it hostess. They rolled that recipe and stretched it out into something the size of a small log. Honestly, it was the last time |
| 1:55.8 | I even had a twinkie jam long long time ago. I was like, I mean, you don't eat the twinkie. I feel like the twinkie consumes you. Even if my body were a temple, I wouldn't let that thing get close to me. |
| 2:05.4 | The clock is always extra. Twinkies will never be extra. That's the reality here. Well, guess what? We connected with a smacker who literally oversees Twinkie production here in the US. |
| 2:15.4 | We're talking about Duncan Marshall, legendary snacker down in Kansas, who works at hostess. Now, no one's debating that Twinkies are an all time American classic dessert. It's a legend. |
| 2:25.2 | But Duncan actually debates the statement that a Twinkie can survive the apocalypse. Twinkies a little bit closer to farmers market than you expected. They've got a 45 day shelf life. |
| 2:34.4 | Yeah, a family guy episode told us Twinkies can last in a apocalypse. Peter Griffin was wrong. Also Twinkies. It's owned by publicly traded hostess, which means hostess is a pure play Twinkie stock. Hostess is worth $2.4 billion of Twinkies. |
| 2:48.4 | Yeah, that's one fifth of a lift. And Twinkies get this. They were originally banana flake. But during World War II, we had to ration bananas due to a shortage. So the buddies over at hostess, they switched it to vanilla flavor, which brings us back to national vanilla cupcake. |
| 3:03.4 | Celebrate, respond to by having four pumpkins. Let's hit our three stars. |
| 3:34.4 | For our first story, Rivian, just IPOed huge day, put Ford Tesla and Amazon in a blender and you get yourself a nice tall glass of Rivian. |
| 3:46.4 | Jack, let's get more specific here. Pickups and drop offs pickups and drop offs. That is what Rivian does pick up trucks. Yes, package drop offs. |
