About this episode

Google’s Chrome Browser is used by 61% of us… but now Google may be forced to split it off.

Jersey Mike’s sandwich chain was just acquired for $8B… but it’s really an education company.

The #1 non-tech stock of 2024? Walmart… It’s winning on rich families with six-figure incomes.

Plus, can a banana duct-taped to a wall sell for $1.5M?... The art market decides today (so take our Spotify poll).
