| 0:12.6 | Oh, boy, we got a problem, Jack. Yesterday's pod was so good. How are we going to make today's pod better? |
| 0:18.4 | I felt so good leaving the studio yesterday. I know you mean. I know you mean. I didn't listen to the episode because, like, I have finite time and I don't love listening to myself. Well, that's awkward, Jack. I listened twice this morning for us. We got three fantastic stories on today's DeVoy. What do we got in the show, Jack? For our first story, Elon Musk just executed the biggest corporate acquisition ever. |
| 0:38.9 | Asterisk, setting up the biggest IPO ever this summer. Because SpaceX now owns XAI. And when an |
| 0:44.6 | IPO's ticker symbol, what are we thinking, Jack? Triple X. For our second story, Pepsi just blinked. |
| 0:52.7 | They're actually cutting the prices on their Doritos and all of their |
| 0:55.4 | snacks by 15%. Because PepsiCo is inspired by Greek mythology. And our third and final story, |
| 1:02.3 | at this year's Super Bowl, one company put chips in every football, end zone pylon, and every |
| 1:07.9 | shoulder pad. Zebra technology, they are powering the moneyball effect of the |

| 1:47.0 | guys. That's right. Elder millennial men are piling into the minivan. Literally, just like they |
| 1:53.7 | used to when they were kids. The new soccer mom? It's a millennial dad. If you don't believe us, |
| 1:58.8 | well, the data just rolled up in a Honda Odyssey right |
