Morning Brew delivers quick and insightful updates about the business world every day of the week from Wall St. to Silicon Valley.
The wackiest headlines from the week as they would appear in a Classifieds section.
PAW-BLUCIST: From Ripley to Argylle, Hollywood is now obsessed with casting cats—and not even just to make a female character appear reclusive and lonely. Mr. Bigglesworth would be proud.
INFAMOUS ANTIQUE DEALER: The white Ford Bronco O.J. Simpson rode in while puttering down the highway in 1994 is being sold by Simpson’s former agent and two friends of the infamous driver, Al Cowlings. They’re hoping to get $1.5 million from it but would take your best conspiracy theory.
NEED HOCKEY TEAM NAME: Salt Lake City is getting an NHL team next season, but owner Ryan Smith isn’t sure what they’ll be called—“It will be ‘Utah Something,’” he told NHL.com. Washington Football Team walked so the Utah Something could run.
ISO STONED OKTOBERFEST: Bavaria banned smoking weed at the famously drunken beer fest in the fall. It’ll be a challenge for some, because alcohol intoxication can only help you eat so much of a giant pretzel.
CYBERTRUCK JUMPSTART: An owner of a Tesla Cybertruck said his vehicle turned into a giant brick after taking it on a routine visit to the car wash. It started working again after a complete reboot.
HEAVENLY STAIRCASE—USED: Stairway to Heaven will go back to just being a song your dad knows how to play on guitar. A historic staircase on Oahu, known as “The Stairway to Heaven,” will be removed after visitors kept illegally hiking it.
ROYAL JAM: American Riviera Orchard has its first product: fancy, small-batch jam. Meghan Markle is planning to officially launch the brand later this spring, and everyone is too afraid to make fun of it after what happened last time.—MM
