This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, December 16th. 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. You know, Jack, the Dow is down again.
I'm looking at seven straight days of declines. Worst streak for the Dow in four years, man.
Although we should point out the stock market index is still up 3.8% since the election. Funny you should say that. You know what else is up? Yeah. Our voices, baby. We're healthy again, Yetis. We're feeling good. We're recovering our voices for you. Thanks for your patience on Friday. Our vocal cords limped through the podcast, didn't they?
Although, Jack, I should point out, a lot of people said we sounded sultry. And one person said we were like leather chocolate and Cuban cigars in a podcast. Another said it was refreshing to hear a Friday hangover podcast. Someone thought you were Batman. And I want to point out, you and Batman have never been in the room at the same time. I've noticed that. Well, it's good to be happy again.
Jack, you are sounding fantastic. Pumped to pod with you, P2P. Let's hit our three stories. What do we got? For our first story, the only American luxury brand winning right now is Ralph Lauren. Because Ralph Lauren has replaced their polo logo with the teddy bear. For our second story, it's Hot Ones. The show where celebrities drown in hot sauce drenched chicken wings while trying to interview.
That show just sold for $82 million. Hot Ones, it proves that YouTube shows are as big as cable shows. And our third and final story is Marriott Hotels. They just made a huge bet on glamping. Marriott, they just bought a glamping chain because the mountains are calling and I must invest. Glamping. Nick's favorite. There was an incident. There was an incident. Story for another pod.
But yet, before you had that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories to kick off the week, man. Nick and I are paging it open to Hoarder's Almanac Week 249.
Oh, the Hoarder's Almanac. Things were running out in this economy. Jack and I have been keeping track for you.
This week, we are running out of the corporate office holiday party. The office party. The corporate party. The end of year comp celebration. All of it. is disappearing. The one where Carol from accounting over shares inside info, she definitely shouldn't have shared. Yeah, and Frank from finance is over serving the jungle juice. Here's the news.
