Nick & Jack Studios
About this episode

Stocks just reached all-time-highs… and it’s all because of Ned Stark & Game of Thrones.

Crayola is about to hit $1B in annual sales… because its crayons have Main Character Energy.

The biggest podcast deal in years? $125M for Call Her Daddy (Spotify lost, but it really won).

Plus, we’re officially back from vacay… so we whipped up two “lifestyle souvenirs” from our trips to France & Italy
