On this week’s show: hair product company Olaplex is going public and Inuit bought Mailchimp for $12 billion dollars. Our hosts are anxious/excited about the tax law changes coming up. The scam of the week is that the capital gains tax is going up from 20% to 25%, but the changes are retroactively effective as of Monday! WTF! AJ has no kind words for Allbirds wearers and answers a listener mail question about credit cards. Shane pays tribute to comedian Norm Macdonald.
