This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, April 7th, 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. Jack, welcome back. How was your weekend, by the way? You're looking so good. I tried to forget what happened on Friday. Breaking news. News, Jack.
The White House just announced new tariffs on Atlantis, the lost undersea civilization of Atlantis. Yetis, all joking aside, last week was the worst week for markets in five years. Poseidon, the Greek god of the ocean, has now put retaliatory tariffs on America. Nick, I said all jokes aside, we'll be here to cover all the news as long as this crisis is happening. But yetis, don't panic.
We have seen and experienced downturns before. Plus, we've got three fantastic stories ready today. Even if Atlantis taxes our seafood. Jack, three fantastic stories for the show. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, the trade war just caused the worst week for the global stock market since the pandemic. Everyone is wondering about a recession, but we're wondering about a pan-cession.
For our second story, Chipotle is actually the biggest buyers of avocados in America. They purchase one out of 20 avos that Americans eat. And Chipotle just finished a seven-year quest for a tariff-free avocado. And our third and final story, Americans now leave work 42 minutes earlier than they used to. We see you. 4.39 p.m. is now the magic number.
But there is one little catch to you leaving work early, and it's explained by peanut butter. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories today. Love the mix, Jack. The hottest new fashion item right now, what is it, Nick? Jack, it's not a handbag, it's not a sundress, and it ain't a cute top either. It's a leather jacket.
Specifically, a tech CEO's leather jacket. The leather jacket worn by Jensen Huang is now its own fashion category. It's like the Earl of Cardigan got a shirt named after him. Well, the CEO of NVIDIA now has a jacket named after him. Steve Jobs had his turtleneck, Zuckerberg had his hoodie. But Jensen only wears one thing, a black leather jacket.
In fact, demand for the Jensen jacket is higher than demand for NVIDIA chips these days. Want proof? Nick and I found 21 different retailers who now sell the Jensen jacket. Jack Victoria now sells a Jensen jacket for 97 bucks. Wilson sells a Jensen jacket for 92 bucks. The product description literally says, be the boss of the fashion world.
Now we should point out, Jensen may be the wealthiest guy who wears this leather jacket. As the largest shareholder of a $2 trillion Nvidia company, Jensen is worth $97 billion. But he's not the first. noteworthy person to rock a black leather jacket. No, let's sprinkle on some context, Jack. I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator. Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront.
And Jack, how about, hey, the Fonz. Arthur Fonzarelli basically invented the black leather jacket. So besties add it all up and we're calling the Jensen leather jacket craze nerdcore. If you can't afford Nvidia chips, if you can't afford Nvidia stock, you may be able to afford in video fashion. Well, let us know if you see a dupe out there. Jack, let's hear our three stories.
