👄 “Call Her Rich” — Alex Cooper’s $500M pod. Paramount’s Late Fees. Candy Crush’s infinite game. +LA Lakers Midlife Crisis

Author: Nick & Jack Studios August 13, 2026 Duration: 22:00

Unwell raised $$ at a $500M valuation
 but Alex Cooper’s business model is still unwritten.

Paramount might not close its Warner Bros acquisition
 which would result in the biggest late fee of all time.

Candy Crush is 15 years old and still has 81 million users
 because you can never win it.

Plus, the LA Lakers just sold for a record $12.5B - more than any team in any sport anywhere.

About Us: The daily pop-biz news show making today’s top stories your business. Formerly known as Robinhood Snacks, The Best One Yet is hosted by Jack Crivici-Kramer & Nick Martell.




Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.


Each weekday, Nick Martell and Jack Crivici-Kramer deliver The Best One Yet, a concise and cleverly packaged look at the business world. This twenty-minute podcast from Nick & Jack Studios distills the day's essential financial and corporate news into three key stories, offering analysis that’s both insightful and surprisingly digestible. The tone is upbeat and designed to cut through the noise, providing listeners with a shot of context and conversation starters that feel more like a chat with well-informed friends than a dry news report. It’s the kind of briefing you can absorb during your morning routine, leaving you feeling informed and ready for the day ahead rather than overwhelmed. While the format is focused on business and news, the approach is broadly appealing, unpacking complex market moves, tech innovations, and consumer trends with clarity and a touch of wit. Having previously created “Snacks Daily,” the hosts continue their independent podcast with the same energy, now fully steering their own ship. For anyone seeking a efficient, engaging way to stay current without getting bogged down, this podcast consistently aims to be the best part of your daily information diet.
