🍰“AI’s 5-Layer Cake” — Nvidia’s epic explainer. LEGO’s verb’ing. Nio’s battery-swap cars. +End of Athleisure

This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, so much. Wednesday, March 11. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a tea bowl. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Live show DC two night final, like, six tickets are available. That's it. We added 20 tickets last second. Snag yours. The link's in the episode description. Oh, by the way, besties, we're recording from the stage where we're going to actually do the show. So head to toe. Tonight, showtime is at 07:30. Doors open at 06:30. As for stock markets, well, they climbed again on Tuesday as oil prices fell. Markets remain soothed by the president's comments on Monday that the war on Iran will soon end. And, Jack, I am soothed by your voice as you share with us the three fantastic stories for today's show. For our first story, how did LEGO just have their best year ever during a trade war? How? By launching two new LEGO sets every day. Because LEGO learned a lesson from college second story, China's electric car company, Nio, is so advanced, they don't charge batteries, they swap them. True story, because Nio is now 10 times bigger than Rivian and 100 times crazier than test. And our third and final story. NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, just wrote a rare blog post about how you should understand AI. Here's what he said. AI is like a five layer cake. So Jack and I are taking a bite out of each and every layer to share it with you. But yet, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories Dude, what a mix for the venue with a live show, Jack. Nick, what is the millennial uniform? I'm not seeing Brooks Brothers and J. Crew. I'm seeing Vuori and a hint of aloe. It's athleisure. It is. The default wardrobe for berries, brunch, or getting on an airplane. And we see you, besties, Lulu leggings with the Athleta hoodie, and maybe, just maybe, an outdoor voice of sweat wicking tea. But here's the plot twist. Fabletics, Kate Hudson's athleisure brand, is pivoting to denim. I'm sorry. Pause the pod jacket. A workout wear brand is launching jeans? Yes. And this may signal the end of the athleisure trend. Turn your stretchy loins. Because denim growth is accelerating, but athleisure growth is decelerating. You see, Eddie's customers just ain't Netflix and chilling like they used to. And you can see it in Lululemon stock price. Oh, yeah. Lulu is down 67% in two years. I'm feeling it right now in Lululemon stock prices. Stop clothes are out. Hard ones are in. Comfort is cold. Carhartt is hot. And we don't think Fabletics is the last athleisure brand that's gonna be slipping into something less comfortable. Jack, could Lululemon maybe collab with Levi's? Nike Skims could pivot to Nike Stiffs. Jack and I also think aloe should just acquire JNCO. That JNCO. You know what …
