Three stories, three minutes, let’s go.

Today I’m talking about what happens when everything gets a little cheaper, a little sadder, and a lot more ridiculous.

Cord-cutters are now cutting back on streaming costs, which is funny because the whole point of streaming was supposed to be saving money in the first place. Then there’s 7-Eleven, closing hundreds of stores while trying to become more of a food destination, which feels ambitious for a place most people visit only after better plans have failed. And then there are cruise weddings, which somehow take the inconvenience of a destination wedding and combine it with the low-grade panic of being trapped on a floating buffet.

Listen to the audio above.
