Chapter 1: What is Trump's economic scorecard for his second term?
It's kind of like when you give yourself your own nickname and you try to, like, get other people to do it.
and the 2019 movie adaptation of Cats.
Like, if I'm watching the dancing and I'm noticing the feet aren't touching the ground, there's something wrong with the movie.

For our third and final story, if you have a company email, Yetis, then you're getting an AI surprise this week. Google and Microsoft are both adding their AI assistant into everyone's company email. Surprise! Is it for free? Costco would like a word. Yetis, a strange thing happened to our entire T-boy team last week.
On Friday, we were all going through our morning email and we got pop-ups from Google. They told us that AI was in our inbox.
They're like, hey Nick, hey Jack, can Google Gemini AI help you with your email today? They're like, please, let me summarize your email thread. Let me prioritize your unread emails. Let me help you. Hey, Nick and Jack, please let me craft an email for you to get Jeff Bezos on your podcast. So that's what I asked Nick.
Did you upgrade our Google email account, dude? And then I said, no, Jack. And that's when I asked Jack, how much are we paying for our Google Gmail accounts and this AI new thing? What's going on, man? The answer is neither. Because Google added AI to our T-boy corporate Google account without us asking. In fact, this is going to happen to all of you.
Everyone with a corporate Gmail account is going to get this AI surprise. By the way, Nick gave it a shot. He let it craft an email to get Jeff Bezos on the show. Fingers crossed, fingers crossed. Honestly, in the meantime, this kind of feels like Clippy. You know what I mean, Jack?

Chapter 5: What role does AI play in Gmail's strategy?
We don't know what data they used because this is a chatbot and it's never been hugged, but yetis, those are the best huggers. So yetis, if you got a buddy near you, give him a hug right now.
And while you're holding him for 20 seconds, whisper into their ear.
H-Y-H-T-B-O-I. H-Y-H-T-B-O-I.
Have you had the best on yet?
By the way, yetis, before you go, remember to check out our weekly show, The Best Idea Yet, because we just dropped a brand new episode today.

You're going to love the story, so check out The Best Idea Yet.
And before we go, a happy birthday to Sol Olinstein, turning 30-30 in New York City. And Jack, get this. What? Sol is doing a senior citizen-themed bar crawl across Manhattan because he's turning 30. Senior citizen, huh? I'm joining you tomorrow, Sol. And Max and Kara in San Francisco just welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Kara last week, and she's a tea girl. Congratulations.
And happy birthday to Mira Ashwin. He's turning 14, a proud Swifty in Ridgewood, New Jersey. on the way to school and crushing it in school. And Thomas Tawasterna, the bestie Tawa referred him to this podcast. And we should have a national tell a buddy day about T-boy. Thanks to Thomas. Happy birthday, Tommy. Happy birthday to Lacey Matney in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
And we heard you have a profit puppy named Polly Puck. And Lulu Bacon, the best name we've ever said on this podcast, just turned 10 years old in Alameda, California. Happy birthday, Lulu Bacon.

The owner of the reclaimed motel is going to have a baby in the next week or two. Happy early B-Day. And a big shout out to Trevor Yeager, who's been listening to T-Boy all the time on a four mile walk. T-Boy's been their top pod for two straight years. Trevor, love that walk you're doing in Florida every day. Pumped to be there with you.
