Ep 895🦚 “Group buying, aka ‘Flocking’” — Temu’s #1 shopping app. Uber’s custom car. Pantene’s price pushback.
The #1 app in America right now? It’s Temu — Because it’s pioneered the new trend of group shopping, or what we call “Flocking”. Uber is working with carmakers to design the first-ever ride-hail car. And P&G’s earnings show a potential inflection point in the fight against inflation: Us consumers are saying “no” to higher prices. $PDD $UBER $PGFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 894📼 “The Boomer Tech Founder” — Netflix’s CEO exit. Canned Tuna’s turnaround. Morgan Stanley vs Goldman.
This week’s TBOY Quiz: https://go.tboypod.comNetflix’s co-founder is unlike every other tech founder — and yesterday the self-disrupting legend of a CEO stepped down. Millennials killed canned tuna fish, but now canned tuna startups are thriving. And we just saw the biggest flip in finance in years: Morgan Stanley is gold, Goldman Sachs is silver. $NFLX $MS $GSFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodListen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5RllMBgvDnTau8nnsCUdse?si=7189762d4a9f4a7f&nd=1Or listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1386234384?ign-itscg=30200&ign-itsct=lt_pWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 893🚫 “Kappa Kappa TikTok” — TikTok’s university ban. Party City’s balloon bankruptcy. Debt Ceiling drama.
If you go to college at the University of Texas or Auburn University, then you can’t TikTok – because it just got banned on campus wifi. Party City is filing for bankruptcy because balloons are its Keystone Product (but Helium is the Keystone Crusher). And you’re going to see a lot of chatter about the Debt Ceiling Drama today… because the Debt Ceiling Expires… today.$PRTY $META $SPYFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 892🍷 “This better include a pre-nup” — Tinder’s $500/mo plan. China’s population problem. Mill’s trash innovation.
Match has a dating app problem: Half of its core Millennial users are married — So its solution is $500/month for Tinder++. For the first time in 60 years, China’s population fell last year, which transforms its economy from inevitable to unenviable. And Mill launched the newest Silicon Valley-backed smart home product… but it’s your trash.$MTCH $GOOGFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

California’s In-N-Out burger is finally expanding East of the Mississippi, so we jumped into the strategy behind the most-profitable patty in the big burger biz. Everyone’s talking TikTok and Instagram, but the real social media success story? It’s LinkedIn. And JPMorgan Chase embarrassingly spent $175M… on a fake startup.$JPM $MCD $CMG $MSFTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Apple’s biggest new thing since the iPhone is reportedly launching this spring: Get ready for… iHeadset. Sephora is ending its Influencer makeup brand with Addison Rae because TikTok is magnificent for discovery but miserable for loyalty. And Goldman Sachs is cutting 3,200 employees, but that explains why your banker buddy Brad got such a big bonus. $AAPL $GS $LVMUYFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 888🍆 “$746 to eat duck brains?” — Noma’s restaurant disruption. Rolls-Royce’s pimp my ride. Microsoft’s infinity stones.
Noma was crowned #1 restaurant in the world 5 times, but shockingly just announced it’s shutting because the fine dining business model is broken. For the first time ever, the average Rolls-Royce car sold for over $500K — because they’re not selling cars… they’re selling art.

For the 1st time in a decade, Barnes & Noble is adding stores… and doing it by taking over shuttered Amazon stores. Lululemon plummeted 10% because its fanny packs on sale — which means it’s facing the Discounting Death Spiral of Death. And the entire gig economy from DoorDash to Uber just got upgraded because they’re all Downturn Divas.$LULU $DASH $UBER $LYFTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 886🥤 “The Switzerland of soda” — Dr Pepper’s mystery strategy. Delta’s free wifi wager. Your job’s sneaky non-compete.
Millennials are killing soda, except for one brand: Dr Pepper. Delta just launched free high-speed wifi in the air — it’s not a perk, it’s a signal. And when you got hired, we bet you signed a Non-Compete Agreement even if you didn’t realize it — Now the FTC is trying to kill noncompetes. $KDP $DAL $YUMFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

The Lion King Musical just had the best week of ticket sales in the history of Broadway — So we’re looking at the economics of the Broadway show. Craft Beer is the only area of alcohol whose sales shrank last year because you’ve got IPA flavor fatigue. And Bed Bath & Beyond stock just plummeted to under $2… so you better use that gift card fast.Take the TBOY Quiz: go.tboypod.comHow well do you know this week’s Takeaways?

Ep 884🚢 “I live on a cruise ship” — Storyline’s cruise condos. Tylenol’s cough cocktail. Roku’s binge TV.
You can buy a condo on Storylines’ new cruise ship — because it’s a floating town for full-time residents to live in… forever. Johnson & Johnson is loving this extra heavy cold, cough, and flu season — its Tylenol sales are powering its 60-year dividend dynasty. And Roku just launched its Roku TV, becoming the first end-to-end binge company.$ROKU $JNJ $CCLFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

McDonald’s just opened its first ever robot restaurant… and it will forever kill the “soggy fry problem.” Google just issued a “Code Red” warning about its most important product (when Google goes Code Red, we pay attention). And Tesla dropped 12% to start the year, and we can trace the fall back to a strange email we got from Tesla on December 23rd.$MCD $TSLA $GOOGFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 879🎁 “Never ever pay $9.99” — The 99 shopping rule. Avatar’s $2B tickets. Taco Bell’s french fry strategy.
Macy’s first priced something $0.99 in 1880 in a catalog, now every retailer does — but that means they’ve rounded the price up, not down. Avatar 2 is Disney’s blockbuster of the year, but it’s probably not gonna make any money. And Taco Bell is adding french fries and breakfast in a head-on attack on McDonalds, which means we have a food fight coming. $DIS $YUM $MCD $MFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

More Americans skied last year than ever before — and Vail Resorts’ just told us its favorite kind of skier. Apple’s AirTag is supposed to track products… but they’re being used to stalk people too. Which shows the need for a Chief Evil Officer. And FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas, so we finally know his crimes (allegedly).$MTN $AAPL $BTCFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 876👙 “White Lotus season” — HBO’s Sunday stretch. Wetzel’s Pretzel’s year. Kia’s logo confusion.
The final episode of The White Lotus just happened, and it perfectly demonstrates HBO’s drip strategy. The top-selling food category this year? Snacks. But the top-performing food within that food category? Pretzels. And did ya notice a new car company called “KN”? That’s actually “Kia” and it was the biggest and strangest rebrand of 2022.$WBD $NFLX $HSY $M $KRWFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Utah is America’s biggest sweettooth, which is one reason it’s home to Crumbl — the fastest-growing restaurant chain in the country. Lululemon trails only Nike in apparel, because investors want to play with Profit Puppies, not run with Revenue Rabbits. And Microsoft spent $69B to play a video game, but was just told to go to its room.$LULU $MSFTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 874🦢 “Ugliest product ever” — Dyson’s cancellation headset. Campbell’s Madden strategy. Amazon’s TikTok zucking.
Amazon’s newest product is a TikTok-style video shopping feed, but it’s not to compete with TikTok - it’s to compete with itself. Campbell Soup stock is up 30% this year thanks to Chunky Soup’s Madden strategy. And Dyson just revealed an air-filtering headset with noise cancellation, but it violates the fundamental rule of product design: You can make an ugly product, but you can’t make the person ugly.$CPB $AMZN $AAPLFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

And AutoZone’s stock just hit an all-time high because America’s cars are acting like America’s grandmas.$AZO $WMTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence chatbot that you can ask any question and it will give a human answer… so we asked it to write today’s TBOY episode. The hottest-growing food right now is “smeals” (snackable meals) — Smeals are a case study in “Category Design.” And Salesforce just lost another key executive (the founder of Slack) because CEO Marc Benioff can be rich or king (but you can never be both). $SJM $CRMFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

College Football’s tripling the size of the playoffs, but it’s facing an ancient growth risk: Dilution.

Rolex is launching its own certified pre-owned Rolex business because the trend is your friend. Northrop Grumman just unveiled the most expensive bomber plane in history, but it may end up being the cheapest, if you think about it. And feedback is a gift, so Netflix is expanding its not-so-secret Preview Club (no, we didn’t get invited either). $MOV $NFLX $AMZN $NOCFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Budweiser’s beer was banned last second at the World Cup, so it’s giving the beer away to the winning country. The China protests are a threat to Apple more than any other company — Because China is home to iPhone City. And 400 Macy’s stores are now implanted with a tiny Toys ‘R’ Us store because Macy’s is the new mall.$BUD $M $AAPLFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Taylor Swift’s concert tickets just broke TicketMaster — but the debacle also shows how TicketMaster’s monopoly frustrates everyone with fees. Tom Ford’s fashion house just sold for $2.8B to Estee Lauder because they like the smell of him. And the solution to the housing crisis? It may be the Airbnb Co-Founder’s startup for mini-homes designed to be built in backyards.$LYV $ABNB $ELFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 859🧙♂️ “Killing the magic… of Magic” — Hasbro: The Gathering. Twitter’s fake Mario. Alexa’s nightmare dream.
