This is Nick. This is Jan. This is Snacks daily. This Thursday on Krippah 24.

Nick, we have an all-star lineup of three stories. This is the best Snacks daily we've ever done what we got.

0:11.7

First one is Six Flags. It just finished the most important earnings corner of the season, aka vacation season.

0:18.8

We're looking at your summer roller coaster moves and how Six Flags did really jive off them.

Second story is Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg just hit up Capitol Hill and got hated on by politicians and talked about crypto.

1:19.9

Yes, who else was at Portland State University in 1971?

1:22.7

Turns out it was Phil Knight who has a pretty critical role in the growth of Nike.

1:26.0

Well, he was a college runner at University of Oregon. Then became an accounting professor at PSU.
