What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, June 18th, and today's pod is the best one yet, and this is a tea boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Oh, yeah, we got a special sweet treat coming for you in tomorrow's pod. We'll get to that in a minute, Nick. But in the meantime, Jack, we've got three fantastic stories for the most interesting show in business. What do we got on today's pod? For our first story, Toy Story 5 debuts this weekend, and it explains the entire movie industry right now. Because the best way to understand Hollywood is that it's obsessed with hand-me-downs. For our second story, SpaceX has turned into Elon Musk's $2 trillion ATM. An ATM, his next move, sell SpaceX to buy Tesla.
And our third and final story, we just interviewed Ben, as in Ben of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. That Ben, the full interview publishes tomorrow on how they started, how Ben can't smell, the craziest acquisition of all time, and why now he's trying to buy it all back. But today we're giving you a five minute taste of that episode. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, what a mix of stories to send you off to Italy. Love the mix, Jack. For the first time in history, you can't get drunk in Boston tonight. Because besties, Boston has run out of beer. Emergency edition of Hoarder's Almanac, week 325. Oh, we repeat, Boston is at a bruise. True story.
What existential question does Toy Story 5 raise about Hollywood?
According to the NBC local Boston affiliate... Boston bars did four times as much beer sales last weekend as a normal weekend. Get this, one bar just did three times as much as St. Paddy's Day just on Sunday night. The kegs are kicked, the Guinness is gone. Sammy Adams, nowhere to be seen. The culprit, by the way, not the barstool bros of Beantown. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's actually the Scottish soccer hooligans. Sip it up all that with brewskis. Because Scotland is in the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.
How has SpaceX become Elon Musk's $2 trillion ATM?
And it appears the entire population of Scotland is here to watch. And to imbibe. All of Scotland's group matches are down in Gillette Stadium. Just outside, actually pretty far outside Boston. Gillette Stadium's like an hour. And you're going to hit traffic, so leave now. So all the ancestors of Sean Connery have made their pilgrimage to Beantown. Yeah, and after Team Scotland beat Team Haiti, they hit the bars like Braveheart. On the home front, by the way, Scotland declared the day after the opening match a bank holiday so that people could sleep in afterwards.
What insights does Ben Cohen share about Ben & Jerry's?
But in Boston, the Scots ain't sleeping in. They're drinking out. Forget the Boston Tea Party. This is the Boston Beer Party. Literally. Although we're shocked Massachusetts doesn't have a strategic ale reserve, right, Jack? But don't worry, Boston. Reinforcements are coming. One if by land, two if by sea. Let's hit our three-story snake. Hey, Darlene, toss some Baileys in my Dunkin' Coolado. I don't want two pumps of hazelnut. 15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in a dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50%, that's a fat tip. T-Boy City on your at list. If you know, you know, cause we ready to go.
We can't wait no more, so just start the show.
