Rise and Shine Kathy’s, new pod just dropped!

So here’s the plan for today- read this pod debrief ➡️ pick up a chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A ➡️ bring it back home ➡️ Click this link and enjoy your food 😋 

No Dee today but that’s okay, cuz Drama’s in studio with Anand leading the way!

The boys catch up on:

• Travis Kelce’s potential retirement plan

• Chick-fil-A’s chokehold on the fast food industry

• Stock Market: up and to the right

• Donald Trump’s competition

• A special interview + gifts from Sneaker Steve!

Travis Kelce is sailing off into the sunset??

It was a BIG weekend in the sports world! NFL playoffs and UFC beatdowns- what a time to be alive! 🔥 

Let’s start with NFL and it’s blockbuster weekend.

If you didn’t know the playoffs are happening rn and every football fan and Swifty were glued to their screens.

• Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs(W)

• Baltimore Ravens(W) vs. Houston Texans

• Detroit Lions(W) vs. Tamps Bay Bucs

• San Fransico 49’ers(W) vs. Greenbay Packers

A weekend full of nail biter games and close calls, but the most attention was on the Chiefs vs Bills- Obviously.

• 2 of NFL’s best QB’s (Mahomes and Allen) going head to head in the playoffs for the 3rd time since 2020

• Taylor Swift screaming at reffs

• Travis Kelce is throwing up ❤️’ s after TD’s

• Jason Kelce is shirtless chugging beers

VIRAL. VIRAL. VIRAL

50 MILLION VIEWERS. This viewership broke the NFL record for a divisional playoff game!

This seems all too perfect. Taylor in the building, Chiefs winning on a missed field goal, Travis Kelce scoring 2 touchdowns. Why does it feel like we all know the script already? Is the NFL trying to send the Chiefs to the Super bowl just for Taylor? This could be the BIGGEST Super Bowl ever!

Drama and Anand discuss the prefect exit for Travis’ career, painting a picture for his retirement. He’s a 2x Super bowl champ, he’s made a f**k ton of money already, 6’5 handsome af and he’s dating the biggest superstar to ever exist. ARE YOU JOKING?

Travis Kelce has won life.

He’s got nothing else to prove… so might as well leave at the peak, right?

Now shifting our focus, from dudes bashing each other with helmets on, to dudes bashing each other without helmets-UFC 297.

It was fight night in Toronto, but bedtime for half of its viewers. The fights were on super late cuz 1AM (Toronto time) seems a bit too late for most.

Main Event:

• Sean Strickland vs. Dricus Du Plessis (W)

The Canadians were loving every bit of the event as the stadium was absolute pandemonium. The crowd engaged in “F**K TRUDEAU” chants too, which honestly… makes sense lol.

Overall a successful weekend for sports lovers.

Chick-f**k-everyone else!

What’s your favourite fast food joint?

Dw, we’ll answer… it’s probably-

Can’t blame ya, that stuff’s amazing- and the data supports it.

Anand shared some numbers- how much sales a franchise does per year (individual restaurants):

• Chick-fil-A: $6.7 million/yr

• Raising Canes: $5.4 million/yr

• Shake Shack: $3.8 million/yr

• McDonald’s: $3.6 million/yr

• Del-Taco: $1.6 million/yr

• Subway: $510,000/yr

Ya…it’s not even close. CFA is crushing the competition, while being closed on Sundays 😭 

Perhaps it’s their simple menu items and immaculate customer service that keeps CFA above the rest. Regardless, the chokehold this franchise has on consumers is commendable and these other franchises need to step their game up.

We’re looking at you Subway…wtf are you doing?? 🤨 

The stock market continues to make no sense

Do you remember when the markets slumped in the beginning of the year? Like the first week the market was in the red, and people were saying “omg, this is the recession” or “we’re f**k’d, the soft landing was BS”

Ya, that was a prank. Cuz markets are absolutely ripping. WE ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!

Funny thing is, interest rates creeped back up to 3% and had 0 affect on the market. Consumer spending continues to rally, unemployment rate is low-it’s the best of times!!

From what it seems, the US economy is 🔥🔥 and it probs wont slow down for another 20 years at this rate. There’s hella money waiting on the sidelines too with the whole Boomer wealth transfer.

We’re fine, everything’s good, no need to worry! We’re all gunna survive 😁 Probably.

Donald Duck vs absolutely no one else!

The Republican candidate race sees another casualty, as Ron Desantis suspends his campaign earlier this week.

Last week we saw Vivek Ramaswamy drop out and pull out the red carpet for Donald Trump. This man really has no competition out here anymore. The only person standing in his way now is Nikki Haley, and who knows how long that’s gunna last.

It’s pretty clear what’s going on here- it’s a Donald glaze fest.

It seems some of these candidates really had no intention of running, they were just placeholders until the man showed up to the race.

Just last week Ron was talking s**t about DT during the caucus and now he’s endorsing him? Make it make sense.

Politics is weird, we all knew that already-but it would be great to see an actual race between candidates that are serious about running. Maybe the “establishment” is too established and it doesn’t even matter anymore.

Anyways, looks like we are getting part 2 of the Biden vs Trump movie. What a s**tty movie- do not recommend 🤮
