  Max Chafkin, how are you?

• 0:03Speaker 00

  I'm good. I'm excited to talk about our new podcast, Everybody's Business.

  Not a fan of the tariffs, then, Stacy?

• 0:16Speaker 01

  Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.

  One of the many questions we'll attempt to answer.
