  • NPR.

  • This is the Indicator from Planet Money.

  • I'm Waylon Wong.

  • And I'm Adrian Ma.

  • I'm Ricky Mulvey.

  • And you guys, fall is officially here.

  • And so is Indicators of the Week.

  • Are you guys switching to warm beverages?

  • Oh.

  • Bonfires?

  • Scarves?

  • Black coffee and beef jerky.

  • It's the same all year round.

  • The Ricky Mulvey diet.

  • I pulled out a sweatshirt out of the closet for the first time,

  • and I was like, I need to wash this thing first.

  • But then it was very cozy.

  • Nice.

  • Well, we like to be cozy here on Indicators of the Week.

  • I guess that's a bad segue because none of these are very cozy.
