Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, ceviche Wednesday, February 12th, 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, grab me a napkin, because yetis, we just visited Ben & Jerry's flagship store. We jumped in T-boy style. We went to the original scoop shop yesterday to promote our episode of The Best Idea Yet.
Yeah, we did a whole episode on Ben & Jerry's. You got the fish food in a cone, right? There you went. Yeah, I got fish food in the car. And we went like a man on the street interview style.
Yeah, we did.
Everyone we asked trivia questions about Ben & Jerry's, they knew the answers. They did, they did. Vermonters know their company. I was a little surprised you didn't get hot fudge, Jack. Man, we don't do that here. We let the ice cream do the talking.
No, no, more is more, Jack.
Yeah, it is. Three fantastic stories for today's show. Jack, what do we got on the pod? For our first story, Coca-Cola's biggest acquisition ever, milk. Coca-Cola bought Fairlife Milk for seven billion dollars. Why is milk their fastest growing product? Because they stole an idea from cocktails. For our second story. If you give your Ferrari a custom paint job, you can never buy one again.
Ferrari has a blacklist and Justin Bieber is on it. And our third and final story, Doge has stopped all work at the CFPB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Well, Jack and I worked at banks back when the CFPB was invented, so we can explain what the heck is going on. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories. A hot fudge covered mix of stories, Jack.
Hold the fudge. But Yetis, warning to all lovers out there. We are 48 hours away from Valentine's Day. Yes, we are. It's probably too late to buy flowers or even make your own chocolate. But instead, we have a solution. Write a poem. A poem to inspire you. Jack and I have actually written a poem about a company that we love. It's a tradition we started last year. We call it publicly traded poetry.
Here we go.
