For our first story, the NFL has always wanted a team in London and in Germany, but it can't because of jet lag. Well, one supersonic travel startup could make the NFL the first two continent league. For our second story, The Gap just had its best growth in seven years. And it's all thanks to the milkshake song.

Yeah. Cat's Eye, the Spice Girls of Gen Z, just caused a Gap stock pop. And our third and final story. What if we told you there was a startup selling mystery bags of groceries at a huge discount? And that startup is now worth a billion dollars. Well, guess what?

A Yeti monster doll that kind of looks like a Labubu. I know. The lawyers don't want us to say that, but what the heck, we just said it. Now, we're definitely the only business news show that's selling a plush doll, right? Absolutely, Jack. It's not an emotional support animal. It's an economic support animal.

114.614 - 124.245 Nick Martell

So Jack, how about you say we go full QVC in describing this toy for the besties so they can buy this thing? 16 inches tall, white fur. It's an abominable snowman Yeti little thing.

Chapter 4: What innovative travel solution could benefit the NFL's European expansion?

Chapter 5: What is the business model behind Too Good To Go?

129.374 - 145.041 Nick Martell

So again, why is a business news show making a doll? Well, because in this economy, you need an emotional support toy. Besties, this T-boy Yeti doll is so soft, you can snuggle up to it after a bad earnings report. It's so plush, it makes Peloton stock feel like NVIDIA stock.

145.021 - 167.594 Nick Martell

15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in a dorm.

Chapter 7: How is Gap acting like a record label in its marketing efforts?

192.503 - 210.381 Unknown

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.

215.052 - 242.94 Nick Martell

First, a quick word from our sponsor. Oh, Yetis, check out the calendar.

Chapter 8: How does Too Good To Go help reduce food waste?

242.961 - 259.875 Nick Martell

We are three days away. Thanksgiving, the only holiday with a third helping and a third football game. It's true. It's true. The NFL has three games on Thursday and they have a game on Friday this year. Plus, Saturday has college football's best rivalries, including Florida, Florida State and Ohio State, Michigan.

259.855 - 280.309 Nick Martell

And Jack, you and your three brothers have like a 15-day tournament from what I remember. But besties, this is a business pod. And if there's one thing Jack and I know about the NFL, it's that like Jerry Maguire, they are driven by money. The NFL has already expanded to Monday night, Thursday night, and Friday night. The NFL's next expansion is to Europe. That's right.

0

280.329 - 299.93 Nick Martell

They can't just take over the calendar. They got to take over a new region. So Jack, could you sprinkle on some context for us, please? NFL Europe used to be a thing. It was basically pro football's minor league from 1991 to 2007. But here's the thing. NFL Europe only played games in Europe with European teams. Today, the NFL does play games in Europe.

0

300.33 - 319.714 Nick Martell

Five games have happened in Europe this season, but they've never had a team based in Europe. A team based in Europe that would then play against American teams. But according to the Wall Street Journal, the NFL has always wanted that. They've always wanted to expand from their American teams only to a couple of European teams as well. But they haven't. And the reasons why?

0

319.774 - 341.379 Nick Martell

Well, there are a few, as the French would say, not possible. Hurdle number one to a European NFL team is that that team would have a disadvantage and it would be isolated. Traveling across the Atlantic is taxing on the body and the mind. Your kicker is going to get frozen by the jet lag. So the NFL has said that to expand to Europe, it would only make sense with at least two teams.

341.399 - 357.2 Nick Martell

Almost certainly in London and then probably in Germany. They might want to hold division out there too. Hurdle number two for an NFL European team is the cost. Players would definitely demand relocation bonuses. Because it costs a lot of money and time to move your family to Europe.

357.34 - 375.409 Nick Martell

I mean, even Tom Brady would be homesick for his mom's cooking, so you need to give him that extra compensation so that free agents don't avoid playing on a European team. You don't want the London and German teams to just be bad because players don't want to go over there. Now, hurdle number three, we find the most fascinating. It is the biggest and also the biggest surprise.

375.589 - 395.557 Nick Martell

According to the Wall Street Journal, the big reason we don't have an NFL team in Europe is that it takes too long to travel there. Yeah, it's the travel time. You see, Bessie, football is played on Sundays. So each of the other six days is crucial to recover and prepare because football players are fragile and they need that extra time during the week. One game a week, Jack.

395.617 - 416.576 Nick Martell

Okay, yeah, I played football and like, This is the only criticism I've ever heard about football not being tough. I need six days to get ready for my next big day at work. I don't even know how to respond. You don't even have to, Jack, because football players only take one day off a Tuesday. So if they have to go from Los Angeles to Rome to play a game, that's an 11-hour trip.
