Welcome to the Virge Cast, the flagship podcast of the Economic Theory of David Busters.

I'm a friend David Pierce and I am currently on my way to a new bagel shop, which in my life at this point in my life counts as a huge life event.

See, when I move somewhere new, I immediately go on a grand quest for three things.

A really great cup of coffee, a really great deli sandwich, and a really great bagel. In New York, I found all three of those things. New York's good like that. In San Francisco, I found the first two, but never really found a bagel that I loved. and now that I'm in the DC area, coffee was easy to find,

found a good daily sandwich, but it's been like four years and I still haven't found the bagel.

But this new place just opened like a week ago in my neighborhood.

Everybody says it's great.

I've been burned before, but I'm going to go try that because that is my job. This is my quest. I will find a great bagel.

Anyway, we have an awesome show coming up for you today. We're going to do two things.

First, we're going to talk about this app Flip, which is like if you took the

Tik-Tok shop and the shopping stuff in Instagram and the shopping stuff in

Pinterest and just sort of smushed it all together into a social media app that is nothing but shopping and it's kind of working.

We're going to get to the bottom of what's going on and why this thing is so successful.

Then we're going to talk about the Fuji Film X 106,

which is the successor to the camera

that the internet has spent the last, like three years,

totally obsessed with.

It's beautiful, it's cool, It takes neat photos.

People are very excited about it.

We're going to figure out if this is really worth the upgrade.

All that's coming up in just a sec,

but first, I have to go spend what I can only assume
