Show Notes
The NY Knicks make $20M each Finals home game… but wasted $420k on Free Tees.
SpaceX’s IPO breaks so many rules, it’s inspired by a Rolling Stones song… Take it or leave it.
Why did Dua Lipa partner with Google Maps?... Because Maps is the future of social networks.
Plus, it’s LA’s glow-conomy… The highest per-capita-pilates studios in the country.
And it’s all liiiiiive from lovely Los Angeles with another Sold Out show.
