Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, May 20th. 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. I mean, Jack, I'm feeling the vibes. You're looking the vibes. Should we just hit this bad boy? I'm on it. All right, today's T-Boy. What do we got on the show? Three stories, Jack.
For our first story, Sesame Street has been saved by Netflix. Why is Netflix adding Sesame Street? Well, because when you're first, you gotta think like you're last. For our second story, America's credit rating was just downgraded. We're officially no longer a AAA country. So Jack and I will tell you how the economy gets punished for bringing home bad grades.
And our third and final story is the fastest growing startup right now. It's a startup to wind down other startups. Yeah, it's actually a whole new industry we discovered. Funeral homes for startups. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, what a mix of stories, Jack. Love the mix. Nick and I did a thing. We invented a game. A new game. Here's the game. Here's the game.
Here's the game. It's called Flavor or Faker LaCroix Edition. Basically, is this a real LaCroix flavor or a fake flavor? Because, Yetis, when it comes to LaCroix sparkling water, Jack is a LaCroix connoisseur, a LaCroix sommelier, if you will. So, Jack, why don't you ask me the questions for flavor or faker? May I interest you in a can of coconut cola LaCroix? Okay, coconut cola.
That smells like sunscreen. I'm going to say this is a real flavor. That's correct. It is real. How about basil bellini? All right. Basil bellini. That tastes like pesto. I'm going to say that's a fake flavor. Correct. Okay. Beach plum. I'm going to go fake on that because I'm pretty sure you can't grow plums in the sand on a beach, Jack.
That's incorrect. What? So apparently you can grow plums on the beach.
We've got a lot to learn. How about this? Would you like a can of hint of hummus, LaCroix? Hint of hummus? You know what? I'm going to say real because I think everybody likes garlic. Yeah, it's their Middle Eastern play. Nope. False.
All right, Nick. Sunshine.
Real or fake? That's it. Sunshine. That's all you're going to give me? Sunshine. Is that a real LaCroix flavor? It makes so little sense. It makes too much sense. I'm going to say real LaCroix flavor. It is real. What does sunshine taste like? Apparently zero calories, Jack. How about this? Last one. Essence of everything bagel, LaCroix.
