Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Tuesday, T-Boy. Tuesday, February 18th. 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. How was Valentine's weekend? You got like a babysitter for three days over the weekend, basically.
We had an epic day date Saturday. Yeah. Skiing Monday. It was a great weekend. Skiing Sunday as well. Oh my God.
Back to back. Jack, you know what I made Molly for Valentine's Day? What'd you make her? Carbonara. You know why? Why? There are eggs in it. You think eggs are the grandest gesture of love? It's bigger than caviar these days. Yeti's three fantastic stories for today's show. Jack, what do we got on the T-boy? For our first story, it's Zelle.
Zelle.
You're not going to believe it, but Zelle is bigger than Venmo and Cash App combined. So we got the details on what the hell is going on with Zelle. For our second story, it's the NBA. Their TV ratings are suffering because there's simply too many three-pointers. Well, guess what? There's a solution to the NBA's three-point problem, and we found it in an Econ 101 textbook.
And our third and final story is Jamie Dimon. Jamie. He went on an expletive-ridden rant about working from home, and we found audio of it.
Yeah, we got the tapes, so we are breaking it down line by line with Nick and Jack play-by-play analysis. But yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a just fantastic mix of stories after a three-day weekend, Jack. Love it. Trivia. Yes. What product got so popular that the owner told us to stop buying it? Besties, what product found its magic material in a toilet bowl cover?
And what product is beloved by both finance bros and granola crunchers alike?
Jack, the answer, please. The Patagonia fleece. The Patagonia fleece.
