  • 💦 “The Fitness Pod” — Our 3 Best Fitness & Apparel Stories
    Mar 14 2025

    Since it’s Spring Break (or you may just need a break from the insane news cycle), we whipped up 3 of our best pop-biz stories on the fitness industry from the last year:


    #1. Barry’s Bootcamp tries to sell itself for $700M… Because nothing drives cash flow like a cult.


    #2. Vuori is eating Lululemon’s leggings… And it’s now worth twice as much as Under Armour.


    #3. Nike’s stock had its worst day in over 20 years… but Nike’s pain is Adidas’ gain.


    Share this episode with your spotter, your trainer, or your buddy who’s decked out in head-to-toe Alo in Cabo (even though they’re just grabbing coffee).


    We’ll be back with our usual daily show on Monday… just gotta hit the showers first.

  • 🏒 “Hockey Fight” — Canada’s electric weapon. MrBeast’s chocolate surprise. Southwest’s Godfather fee.
    Mar 12 2025

    The US stock market began dropping after losing to Canada in hockey… b/c the trade war is a hockey fight.

    MrBeast’s business is worth $5B… but he makes more money on chocolate than content.

    Southwest just killed its famous “Bags fly free”... and it reminds us of a lesson from The Godfather.

    Plus, Trader Joe’s has the greatest art collection in America (and we can prove it)...

  • 💤 “Snooze Pod” — We read Warren Buffett’s Shareholder Letter (to put you to sleep) 😴
    Mar 8 2025

    Since we all lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Savings tonight, we whipped up a podcast to help you fall asleep: We’re reading Warren Buffett’s Annual Shareholder Letter for Berkshire Hathaway. The world’s most legendary investor, Warren outlines how he makes every financial decision. But it’s still a *shareholder letter*, so you’ll drift off somewhere between the 5th and 9th time Warren mentions “investment thesis.”


    So grab your pajamas and get under the spreadsheets, it’s time to enjoy the 2nd annual… Stock Market Snooze Pod: The Sleepiest One Yet.


    (And here’s the whole letter if you’d like to read along from bed too): https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf

    Mar 7 2025

    Mattel is launching their own version of LEGO bricks… What will win, brand or price?

    Utah will make you show an ID to download Instagram… It’s a Social Media Bouncer (aka “The McLovin Rule”).

    The economics of stuffed crust pizza are wild… so why’d Domino’s take 30 years to make one?

    Plus, we’re dropping a Snooze Pod… We read 1 shareholder letter to help you fall asleep for Daylight Savings.

  • 🧃 “Hold the caffeine” — Four Loko’s return. Europe’s military stocks. Warren Buffett’s fave biz.
    Mar 6 2025

    Four Loko is the #1 malt liquor in America… thanks to the Japanese philosophy of Misogi.

    European stocks are shockingly beating American stocks this year… because Europe’s building a military.

    Warren Buffett just revealed his favorite CEO ever… It’s an RV guy who didn’t have a computer.

    Plus, Monopoly just launched a fintech version of the game (no more cash money)
