This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, February 17. 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. All right, Warren Buffett. We know you're listening. How many times you see Wuthering Heights this weekend, man? What? Pretty sure you didn't go to that rom-com, man. Are you kidding? Or is it not a rom-com? I'm actually not even sure. Heathcliff is absolutely a Berkshire shareholder. Jack, three fantastic stories for today's pod, and what do we got on the team boy? For our first story, an unwanted star of these Winter Olympics is the constant buzzing of the drones. But China just won the gold medal for drones.

For our second story, the stock market fell last week, and the NASDAQ is off 6% from its all-time high.

But besties, did you realize our stock market is getting laughed internationally? This is the Carmen

San Diego trade. And our third and final story, Allbirds, sadly announced they're closing

all of their Allbirds stores. But Jack and I came up with an idea for their turnaround plan,

and it is ugly. Literally. But Yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. It's ugly on

purpose. Don't worry. We'll explain. Jack, love the mix of stories, man. Nick, I still have snow crusted on my beard. I know. I was skiing that much this weekend. And that's a good vibe. Besties, welcome back from the ski-kend, the three-day skiing weekend. Because you either skied down the mountain or you watched Olympians ski down the mountain. You know who you are and you know what you did. Great news if you're a skier.

It turns out the best thing you can do to get promoted right now is to ski.

Skiing, wild article from the Wall Street Journal, the secret edge of the office rock star

skier.

Now to sprinkle on some context, more companies than ever are doing corporate ski trips right now.

You see, with more hybrid work, CFOs are proven off sites at ski resorts to foster the bonding. Appre is a right off. Another round of hot

chocolates, make it three. Which leads to the surprise workplace advantage, being a good skier.

Yeah, the coolest dude at the office is the one who knows the backballs of Brack. And the most

righteous babe is the one who rips on her blizzards. Besties, they are both now candidates for what Jack and I call the double black bonus. Because there's no better way to impress your boss than take them to get first tracks. Or busting out some backpack bruskees on the gondola. I know you did that, Jack. That's a total me move. Because the reality of getting ahead at work, it's not just your performance. It's also a popularity contest. Now, golf has long been the place where deals get done and promotions get made. But skiing is the new golf. So Basties, earn your turns. Literally. Oh, let's hit this one. Three that nine six hours. Okay. That's not how skeers talk, Nick. I know I went surfing.

It's a good. Oh, let's hit this one. Three that's exactly. Okay. That's not how Skeers talk, Nick.

I know I went surfing.

Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm.

They had an idea that caused a cultural storm.

It's the best one yet, but the best is a norm.

Jack Nick, that's it.

I don't even think they need to practice.
