The Best One Yet - 🤝 “The #1 trick to get hired” — Job Referrals’ Renaissance. The Gap’s Anne Hathaway comeback. The wildest Air Conditioner stock.

For TBOY Hotline Ep 3: Email your wedding/finance questions to nickandjack@tboypod.com

Due to AI-written resumes, there’s a Networking Renaissance — The data shows that the #1 way to get hired is to have a referral within the company.

The Gap’s stock has surged 240% in the past year — And it’s all thanks to Anne Hathaway, the dessert chef from The Bear, and a former Mattel exec who oversaw Barbie.

And a heat wave hit Miami last week, and hits the American West this week — So we’re looking at the air conditioner brand that wins whether the weather it’s hot or cold.

Plus, we’re flying to LA this week to record our 3rd ever “TBOY Hotline” episode — The theme? Wedding finances… so send us your wedding money questions at nickandjack@tboypod.com

People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may soon have a new treatment option: MDMA, the chemical found in ecstasy. In August, the Food and Drug Administration plans to decide whether MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD will be approved for market based on years of research. But serious allegations of research misconduct may derail the approval timeline.

NPR science reporter Will Stone talks to host Emily Kwong about the clinical trials on MDMA-assisted therapy research and a recent report questioning the validity of the results.

The Daily Signal - Battle for Senate GOP Leader: Rick Scott Aims to Shake Up Status Quo

For the past 18 years, Senate Republicans have had one leader: Mitch McConnell took the job in 2006 and has retained it ever since. But with his decision to step down from the post after November’s elections, there are three Republicans vying to replace him.


One of them is Sen. Rick Scott of Florida. He was first elected to the Senate in 2018 and ran against McConnell two years ago.


He’s now competing with Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota to win the support of his Senate Republican colleagues.


The Daily Signal invited all three senators to discuss their plans, and Scott was the first to accept our request.

Slate Books - Care & Feeding: How Moms Became Our Social Safety Net

On this episode: Zak sits down with Jessica Calarco, whose new book – Holding It Together – is out tomorrow. The two walk through the ways in which women, and especially mothers, replace a social safety net in the United States… and, more importantly, why it doesn’t have to be this way.


We also dole out a round of recommendations – and for our Slate Plus listeners, we continue Zak and Jessica’s conversation and ask Jamilah and Elizabeth what they think their unpaid labor is holding together. 


Elizabeth recommends: Brain Inflamed
