This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, January 16th, 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. Oh, yeah, and he's full disclosure, but Jack is podcasting today without a key asset, his teeth. I got my last wisdom tooth pulled this morning. Can you believe it? Taking like two decades.
It's like you get a wisdom teeth pulled every four years that I've known you. It's like they're harvesting them. What's going on over there? I know, but it was just five hours ago. I'm actually recording under the influence of Novocaine. Besties, Jack has been applying gauze all day like he's on Grey's Anatomy. It's wild to watch. It was my last wisdom tooth.
It was already impacted, so it was a pretty easy pull. I'm not going to get you a push present because you didn't have a baby, Jack. I'm going to get you a pull present, a teeth pull present.
Yeah, it is. I posted a post-pull video on Instagram with my cheek all swollen. We want to hear your comments. How did I do?
Jack and I, we did some voice warm-ups. He sounded normal, so today's pod is the best one yet. Jack, three stories for today's show. What do we got, man? Four are first stories. From Pop-Tarts to Peeps, the most controversial artificial food coloring was just banned by the FDA. Red 3's been banned in food, so we're looking at the Great American Business Paradox.
For our second story, JPMorgan Chase just had its best quarter in over 200 years. With record profits and a record stock price, we think it's time to kill the most hated fee in banking. And our third and final story, there's a hot new side hustle that's earning some people $30,000 a year. job referrals. Get this, referring strangers to your company is a brand new moneymaker.
But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Three wild stories. Love the mix today, Jack. I taste a tiny bit of blood in my mouth. I think I need some more gas. No, that's iron. I think it's good for you, Jack. You should keep rowing. Keep the tapes rolling. We're going to pivot to the most controversial question in business right now. Here it is.
Are women Instacart shoppers better than men Instacart shoppers? Bigger question. Should you be able to choose the Instacart shopper by their gender? Yetis, this is the most viral debate raging on TikTok right now. It is. It's about Instacart shoppers. Yeah. Like, why are the male shoppers so bad at buying groceries? It's a thing.
One female Instacart customer ordered herb butter on the Instacart app. But her male shopper delivered canola oil butter instead. Another female Instacart customer wanted to make hamburgers tonight. But her male shopper delivered beef chuck instead of ground beef. Yetis, there is a cultural stereotype that men struggle with grocery shopping. Honey, is that a white scallion or a white onion?
