This chapter covers the resolution of a dispute between Spectrum and Disney, a $5.6 billion merger between J.M. Smucker and Hostess, and Elon Musk's motivations and ambitions spanning across various industries. The acquisition deal between Smucker and Hostess is analyzed for its potential benefits and concerns regarding conflicting product synergies. Musk's perception of himself as a pivotal figure in history, his affinity for chaos, and his restless nature are discussed, along with his consideration of taking over Twitter and his fascination with war strategy games.
Episode 145: Neal and Toby discuss the huge shifts in the packaged foods industry with the latest Smucker's acquisition of Hostess Brands. Will this mean a PB&J Twinkie?? Next, the juiciest parts of Elon Musk's biography that paint a more complicated person than we thought. Plus, North Korea's Kim Jong Un's obsession with an armor-plated bulletproof train that has an interior of a cruise ship. Then, a 'budget Ozempic' that might not be as miraculous as the real one. Finally, two releases that are equally important and market-changing: the iPhone 15 and a Catan Cookbook.
