0:00.0	This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, March 11th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. The top three stories at the intersection of business and pop culture. How's your portfolio looking over there, Greg? Not well, Nick. I just checked and I think one of my stocks is down a million percent. But we still whipped up the best one yet.
0:21.2	Jack, three stories for today's show. What have we got on the pod, man? For our first story,
0:25.4	the stock market fell by the most on Monday since 2022. True. The NASDAQ fell 4% as recession fears are
0:32.2	high. So Jack and I think it's time to share the crazy recession theory. For our second story, you won't believe
0:39.8	what the must-have product is of 12-year-old girls right now. Hand sanitizer. Hand-sanny. Yeti's
0:46.1	Touchland has transformed a health tool into a fashion accessory. And our third and final story,

1:25.2	Kirkland, the private label of Costco, has the most 90s logo font of all time.
1:30.2	And it's also the latest episode of our weekly deep dive show, the best idea yet.
1:35.6	Because honestly, of all the products we've ever covered, New Jersey?
1:39.1	Costco has the most rabid fans.
1:41.8	Absolutely. If Costco's a cult, then Kirkland brand is their Messiah.
1:46.6	Because get this, one out of every four things sold at Costco is Kirkland branded.
1:51.0	Get this. If Kirkland were its own company, it would be bigger than all of Coca-Cola in sales.
