A lot of times, big economic forces show up in our lives in small ways.
Four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.
Small but important ways. From tech billionaires to the bond market to, yeah, banana pudding. If it's happening in business, our new podcast is on it. I'm Max Chastin.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, and welcome to The Short Stuff. I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and it's just us. No Dave, no Jerry, no nothing. But we are here, and being tourists walking through the Australian bush right now, we need to be careful of drop bears.
That's right, because, you know, if you're especially a tourist, or maybe a foreign soldier, you're walking around the outback... Look up because if you walk under a tree, a drop bear might drop down, knock you on the head, and eat your head.
Yeah, might bite your skull open with its molars, might use its fangs to bite your neck, and you're dead. You're dead when a drop bear drops on you because they can get fairly big. I saw about the size of leopards. Leopards average something like 6 feet long, 7 feet long, weighing between 100 to 200 pounds. This is a big animal.
The thing that makes it so crazy is that it looks a lot like a koala except with orange wiry hair.
