The Best One Yet - 🐶 “Who gets the dog?” — Pet Prenups are trending. The US Open’s economics. Ikea’s used marketplace.

The US Open is selling $12M worth of just one cocktail… because tennis found a new business model.

Ikea just launched an official used furniture biz… to beat Facebook Marketplace.

The newest trend in relationships is Pet Prenups… because you need to “Cover Your Assets.”

Plus, the newest streaming service is from Chick-fil-A… but what should we name it? (Poultry+).

Chapo Trap House - 862 – The Donkey Show feat. Dave Weigel & Ettingermentum (8/26/24)

The Chapo 2024 Elections team returns to the pod to look at the state of the presidential race post-Democratic National Convention. Kamala’s positioning in the election remains strong, but what does her convention performance tell us about a potential Harris administration? Is the Trump GOP really bungling this? Exactly how shitty is JD Vance as a VP pick, and is Tim Walz committing Dog Fraud? And just how much can the Democrats cover their ears and pretend Gaza doesn’t exist after the convention? All this and more discussed in today’s ‘sode.

The Indicator from Planet Money - A food fight over free school lunch

The ascendance of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has made the topic of free school lunch a political flashpoint. Over the past several years, several states—including Walz's home state of Minnesota—have created free school lunch programs, to the dismay of some House Republicans who believe government subsidies should go only to needy students.

Today on the show, we break down the economics of school lunch and explore whether universal programs are more effective than targeted programs.

The Gist - Releasing Robot You Into The World

Today on show, a two-part conversation with Evan Ratliff, cofounder of The Atavist Magazine and now host of the Shell Game podcast about how he created an AI version of his voice, hooked it up to a chatbot, and allowed it to speak on his behalf to friends, family, and even telemarketers. Well, especially telemarketers. Also on the show, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined forces with Donald Trump, though, as is typical with RFK Jr's actions, it's hard to tell how or why.
