| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, February 12th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. |
| 0:12.7 | One sec, Jack, I think hair and makeup is here. We're less than two weeks until our live show down in Austin, Texas. |
| 0:18.2 | That show is sold out, but you can still buy tickets to our DC show |
| 0:22.2 | on March 11th and our New York City show on April 8th. Basties, we want to see you in person, |
| 0:26.9 | so we got a link to those ticket buying in the episode description today. Perfect date night |

| 1:23.1 | outside of our day jobs in banking. Yeah, 15 years before this song started as a secret side hustle, |
| 1:29.3 | so we got a soft spot for all the side hustlers out there. |
