Summary

Warby Parker is the OG disrupter, cutting out the middle man of retail — now it’s launching its 2nd everproduct line: “Scout” contacts. Microsoft was threatened by Slack, so it launched a rival/knockoff messaging service called Teams — we just learned it’s got 20M users. And Home Depot usually just rides a strong housing market to strong profits, but it botched one part of the business that relies on Home Depot alone.Learn more about your ad choices.

This is Nick. This is Jack. And this is Snacks daily. It is Wednesday, November 20th.

0:06.8

We're bringing the best one. Yeah. This is the best Snacks daily we have ever done. Jack, can you

0:11.5

hit me with the three stories? Alright, we got three awesome stories. The first, the housing market is

0:15.2

up, but Home Depot stock is down. We're looking at how they botched like a DIY situation with their

0:21.2

own e-commerce set. Shouldn't do, do it yourself website building. Second story, Jack, what do we

0:26.6

got? Microsoft suddenly mentioned that it's Slack competitor, which is called Teams, is way

the Warby Parker of Warby Parker. It's actually the unicorn of unicorns. And Warby Parker just

launched its second product, not eyeglasses. They're calling it scout and their contact lenses.

1:20.0

And it turns out Gemini just made its first acquisition. And it turns out that Gemini didn't just

1:24.4

make its first acquisition. It made a very unique acquisition. You can't make this up. We couldn't
