This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Friday, the real Friday, March 28th. 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. Apparently, the only thing we got to do to get five-star reviews as a business news show is Jack to do a cookie crisp in the Cookie Monster voice. Yeah.
I did a nice little crossover between Cookie Monster and Cookie Crest. The people like it, Jack. The people like it. We get a lot of love. But Jack, today's stories, we got three fantastic ones. What is on today's T-Boy? For our first stories, mark your calendars. Breast milk ice cream is due in nine months. Real thing, Frida Baby is launching that wild product, and it's not an April Fool's joke.
For our second story, Robinhood just launched Robinhood Banking, Wealth Management, Overnight Cash Delivery, and Formula One Tickets. But we'll explain how Robinhood is actually the Airbnb of banking. And our third and final story is Car Bloat. Car Bloat. This is the trend of trucks and SUVs getting bigger, taller, and heavier than ever. And it is all part of the Panamax effect.
We want things as huge as possible. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories to end the week... It's a mix of stories. Elmo liked this mix of stories, Jack. Check your mailbox, Yetis. Because the biggest wedding invitation of the year just got sent. You may have been invited to the Jeff Bezos wedding. The Jeff Bezos wedding!
The world's second richest person is hosting his second ever wedding. And the fiance, Lauren Sanchez, is the Emmy-winning journalist. Yeah, invites were just sent out this week. We're very excited. We haven't RSVP'd yet. No, we haven't. But we got the details, and these nuptials are unprecedented. Okay, first, the location, Venice, Italy. At the Amman Hotel, the most expensive hotel in the city.
Which goes for up to $32,000 per night, per suite. So how are the guests going to be getting around those Venetian canals next? Well, Jack, actually, Jeff's $500 million super yacht, the largest yacht in the world, is reportedly the Wedding Water Taxi. I think that's too big for the canals, isn't it? I think the yacht just squeezes in really tight, Jack.
No, we haven't confirmed it, but we assume guests get free one-day luggage shipping. And if your suitcase is lost, there will, of course, be 24-7 customer wedding support. By the way, the bride is going to be wearing her $2 million engagement ring. Although Jack and I did the math on that, and what have we discovered, Jack? That's only 0.00093% of Jeff's net worth. It's like 12 bucks for him.
You could have gotten bigger on those carrots, Jeff. And she'll be wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress. That's de la Renta, not rental dress. Oh, and Lauren's engagement gift? She's actually flying into outer space on Jeff Bezos' own Blue Origin rocket. The wedding will be so big, it's going to need its own fulfillment center. But here's the best part, Jack.
If Lauren doesn't like Jeff, she can just return him in 30 days for free. Free returns if she drops him off at a UPS store or $7.99 for a front porch pickup. Here's the QR code. I don't want him anymore. One quick shopping, one knee dropping.
