The Curve The Curve

To kick things off this week, we're discussing weekend indulgences and the psychology behind restaurant bread servings. Then it's all about the wild world of meme stocks, focusing on the infamous Roaring Kitty and his impact on GameStop's stock price. We also touch on the complexities of insider trading and market manipulation, and explore the concept of investing in commodities like gold. And to wrap it up, we've got news about the introduction of new banknotes featuring a rather youthful looking King Charles in the UK.

Get ready for The Curve Weekly LIVE next week!

Coming to you live from our makeshift studio (hence Soph's slightly echo-y mic), Vic's got the latest on Birkenstock, that skyrocketed 60% since it's IPO in October, and the rough ride Doc Martens has had since their 2021 IPO. We dive into Golden Goose's upcoming IPO in Italy and the juicy twist involving their biggest shareholder – the same group that struggled with Doc Martens. Should we be worried? Soph's got news from her old stomping grounds, Sony Music, which is eyeing Queen's music catalogue for a cool $1 billion. And let's chat about Walmart! Did you know their store managers are raking it in thanks to huge incentives? Lastly, some exciting news from Mexico, who might be electing their first female prime minister, winner!

Why does talking about sex and money make everyone feel SO uncomfortable? They both quite literally make the world go around. And just like talking about your salary can help you get a pay rise, talking about sex can help you experience so much more confidence and pleasure. Today we are chatting with the amazing Emma-Louise Boynton, who is the brilliant mind behind ‘Sex Talks.’ She talks openly about her experience with sex therapy, shares her incredibly insightful perspective on sex work, and speaks to the unbelievable nuances that you might never have thought of when it comes to these two things we can't live without. Insightful and liberating. One for the girlies who in the wise words of todays podcast guest... "want to be really rich and f**k loads".

Resources mentioned in this episode: Come as You Are (book), Kama (app), Sex Power Money (book), Keily Blair, OnlyFans (article), Inside the reality TV to OnlyFans pipeline (article), Bad Sex: Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution (book)

Soph is back from The Podcast Show 2024 (think Comic Con but for audio nerds), and she’s got stories galore including a major fangirl moment with the incredible Elizabeth Day. Spoiler: Soph got super emotional, then pitched Elizabeth via email. Guess what? She got a reply right away (but was it really from Elizabeth?). In stock market news, the software company, Nvidia is absolutely slaying in the AI game, with their revenue skyrocketing 300% in just three months. All hail Jensen Huang, their genius founder who's now worth a cool $90 billion. And we spill the tea on the latest Live Nation and Ticketmaster drama. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour ticket sales broke the site, causing a huge fuss. Now, the U.S. government is stepping in and forcing Live Nation and Ticketmaster to split up for being too anti-competitive. Bye-bye, monopoly!
