About this episode

Amazon just launched a new shopping TV show… and it’s a Shark Tank knockoff.

The Olive Garden’s stock surged 10%... because it’s done a 180 on delivery with Uber.

And we found a social network that immediately gets you 1 million followers… who are all bots.

Plus, the hottest new place to meet singles? The Weekend Run Club is the new Tinder.
