In today's episode, we talk about Elon Musk taking a 9.2% stake in TWTR and also joining the board. Shein is taking over e-commerce at all age levels. Kanye drops out of Coachella. Founders vs public opinion discussion and finally we talk about OnlyFans going public via SPAC.   

In true Elon Musk fashion, the first thing he did when joining the board was start trolling the CEO on the app.   

Shein is taking over e-commerce at every age demographic and the only thing clear is that America loves fast fashion...oh and our politicians don't care that China owns this company and all the data it collects.   

Kanye drops out of Coachella 3 weeks before it starts and they are absolutely panicking to fill that headlining spot.   

A ton of TV shows lately have been portraying founders vs boards and the public opinion lately so we decided to pop in and give our 2 cents.   

Finally, we get into OnlyFans planning to go public via SPAC and a possible sighting of Cathie Woods of Ark Invest on the platform.

In this episode, we cover Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Oscars and the fallout from the incident. Wall street halts trading of GME and AMC again due to volatility but is that the full story? Meta paid a GOP firm to malign Tik Tok but that seemed to have backfired in the public eyes at least. Popular play to earn crypto game Axie Infinity was hacked for $625 million. On the lighter side of the cryptocurrency scene, Crypto.com will be the title sponsor for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. We close out the discussion with housing news which was headlined by soaring interests rates. This has caused housing/rent prices to cool down a bit but finding a home is still near impossible with inventory being as low as it is all across the country.

In this episode, we cover Nike pulling out of Foot Locker, Nikola stock somehow going up, the possible acquisition of Polo Ralph Lauren by LVMH, March Madness viewership, and a whole lot more! 

Nike pulled all of its inventory from Foot Locker stores across the country which caused Foot Locker stock to plummet 35%. 

The fraud of a company Nikola saw a surge in the stock price in after-hours trading which was caused by projected revenue numbers in the 90-150 million dollar range. 

LVMH is eyeing the purchase of Polo Ralph Lauren which is an American staple in the menswear space.

March Madness is poised for a massive bump in viewership after being down the past couple of years due to a global issue that we will not name in fear of being demonetized.

In this episode, we dive into the latest news in tech which leads us down a rabbit hole of Metaverse sexual assault, Pelotons potential buyout,  Chanel CEO making major changes to the company and we then dive into the disaster that is the ports/shipping situation here in the US.   

The metaverse has had a ton of complaints recently due to a string of virtual assaults taking place which is caused by the haptic suits people are wearing coupled with the VR headsets.   

Peloton has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately which is why we discuss potential buyers of the failing company which have been rumored to be Amazon and Nike respectively.   

Chanel hired a new CEO Leena Nair following trends with a lot of big brands nowadays when hiring an Indian CEO with plenty of executive experience. She immediately took a stand to make the brand more exclusive and harder to obtain.   

The final topic we discuss is the absolute dumpster fire that is the port/shipping issues taking place right now. We touch on unions and automation as well as how legislation from politicians could possibly help the worsening situation.

I will leave the explanation to Lucas but to keep it short it is a caffeinated protein bar.
