[SPEAKER_02] This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday, The Real Friday, May 1st, and today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. I'm sorry, check notes. Stocks just finished their best month in six years. Can we double check that? Start of April, we were in the doldrums from the Warner On. End of April, stocks were at an all-time high ignoring the Warner On. S&P 500 jumped 11% last month and Jack's got his son's first T-Ball game tonight, baby.

[SPEAKER_02] You better get in a ready position, kids. I want to see some hustle out there. Three fantastic stories for today's pod. Best in the business. What do we got, Jack? For our first story, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend. It's filled with big hats, big drinks, and big bedding. Except one surprise guest won't be there. Prediction markets. And based on the data we just saw, that's a good thing for your wallet. Yeah, we got you back on this one. For our second story, Amazon's newest thing is AI-generated podcasts. Wow. Fake hosts talk about real products.

[SPEAKER_02] Besties, this represents a new thing every business will be tempted by. It's a slop-per-tunity. And our third and final story, no one in Gen Z drinks alcohol anymore, except, apparently, Kardashian fans. Kendall Jenner's 818 tequila is defying sobriety and just got an investment from big alcohol. But yet is before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, what a mix of stories. Hey, Walder, pod son, you gotta step into that.

[SPEAKER_02] But yet is if you smell something strange this weekend, it could be Ozempic breath. The surprise side effect of GLP-1s is apparently nausea, dry mouth, and burping. Along with a bad case of bad breath. And the surprise side effect of this surprise side effect? What is it, Nick? Jack, it's Ozempic users chewing more gum. You're going from Wagovi to Wrigley. You're going from Manjaro to Mentos. If you're on GLP-1s, you stopped eating real fruit, you started chewing juicy fruit.

[SPEAKER_02] It turns out no one enjoys this bad Ozempic breath, except for Hershey. Because Hershey's, in addition to chocolate, owns a half a dozen chewing gum brands. And their icebreaker sales, they're up 8% last quarter. The iconic Minty Gum is now Hershey's third best brand. Besties' TikTok sales are at all-time highs. Altoids are in overdrive right now. Ozempic breath is driving us away from Doritos towards Dentine Ice. Now, yeah, it's Jack, and I call this a piggybacked product. Don't we, Jack? Chewing gum isn't the trend.

[SPEAKER_02] It's just piggybacking off the trend. So, Novo Nordisk, if you're listening, and we know you're listening, it is time for you to acquire Trident. Four out of five dentists recommend the deal. Bubbly Bubbly Jack, let's hear our three stories.
