About this episode

Live… from Chicago… it’s The Best One Yet!


We performed our show in front of a live studio audience of Besties & Yetis at Chicago’s famous Vic Theater. Some extra razzle dazzle & sprinkle dinkle — but our usual daily Takeaways you know & love.


#1: Michael Jordan’s mansion is now on Airbnb ($17K/night)… but can it boost the stock?


#2: Mattel’s Uno card game is expanding into movies & theme parks… by borrowing a strategy from Duolingo.


#3: Amazon just acquired an AI listening device to be your personal assistant… can it make the iPhone a dumb phone?


#4: The Tour de France ends this weekend… and the $150M event is the wildest outlier in the business of sports.
