About this episode

Diet Coke always targeted women
 but now it’s the drink of Hustle Bros & the White House.

The top tennis players sued the grand slam tournaments
 but pro sports is a monopoly.

BYD just announced the Holy Grail of Electric Cars
 Zero to fully-charged in 5-minutes.

Plus, the Oregon Ducks basketball team just set a record
 a 26,700-mile road trip.
