The Best One Yet - 🪿 “$900 for pre-dirtied shoes” — Golden Goose’s sneaker IPO. Summer Movies’ 4D theater trend. Elon’s biggest fundraise ever.

Would you pay $900 for a pair of new sneakers that were already dirty? Golden Goose is selling that, branding it “pre-distressed” — And they’re about to IPO at a $3B valuation.

Hollywood had its worst summer opening weekend at the box office since 1995 — But the “theater of the summer” is gonna be big: 4D movie theaters that you can smell, taste, and even feel.

And Elon Musk just raised $6B for his startup, X.ai, to build the “Gigafactory of Compute” — He flexed his biggest competitive advantage: Fundraising.

Plus, Google’s AI just told people to put “glue” on their pizza — Because when it comes to Artificial Intelligence, AI is what it eats… and Google’s AI is consuming strange content.

Amanda Knox joins Ravi to discuss her riveting piece in The Atlantic, “What If He Actually Did It?” In the article, she writes about her support of Jens Söring, a man who spent 33 years in prison for a double homicide he insists he didn’t commit, and how she began to reexamine her advocacy for his innocence.

Consider This from NPR - Closing arguments for Trump’s trial have been made. What now?

Nearly two dozen witnesses and 21 days of court later, Donald Trump's New York hush money trial is coming to a close.

Twelve New Yorkers have been listening to witnesses like adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen.

Today, those jurors heard closing arguments, first from the defense, and then the prosecution. Now, they have to determine whether Trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged affair with Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

What final impressions did the closing arguments leave, and what could that mean for Donald Trump?
