For others interested, it's Ep 359. Should America Be Run by … Trader Joe’s? from Nov 28 2018
And for people wondering why this is relevant, Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi Nord.

(American stores with the Aldi brand are owned by Aldi Süd. Nord [North] and Süd [South] are separate entities owned by brothers, and they voluntarily avoid competing with each other geographically in Europe. The easiest way to tell them apart is with their distinctive logos.)
