Ep 989👮🤐 “123456” — Netflix’s password crackdown win. Stocks’ 1-year highs. AM Radio’s Tesla problem.
The Netflix Password-Mooching Crackdown just began… and we just got the numbers on whether it’s working. Out of nowhere, stocks just hit their highest level in a year — We’re officially in a Bull Market (and it’s thanks to 8 specific stocks). And AM Radio was killed by Tesla and electric cars, but Ford is bringing it back — Because of the zombies in “The Last Of Us.” $SPY $NFLX $TSLA Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 988🏠🚗 “Uber vs Airbnb” — The Sharing Showdown. Photoshop’s artificial reality. Lionel Messi’s soccer equity.
Uber just launched an “airbnb for cars” feature in the app — because Uber may be the biggest threat to Airbnb (and vice versa). Adobe’s photoshop is letting AI create images out of thin air — because artificial intelligence can lead to an artificial reality. And Lionel Messi just turned down a reported $1B to play in Saudi Arabia — He’s playing in Miami instead, because upside beats stability. $UBER $ABNB $ADBE Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 987🟠 “The Sky is Orange” — NYC’s wildfire insurance. Beauty’s perfume parity. CNN’s reality TV.
New York City is experiencing smoky air due to fires, and that’s got us thinking about 1 industry: Insurance. Because wildfires in California have made it uninsurable. Cologne and perfume sales are up 60% from before the pandemic, and the surge is coming from men (#Dudefumes). And CNN’s CEO is out after a really awkward interview, a bad article, and a gym workout. $BBWI $COTY $WBD $ALL Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 986⛳️ “Just tap it in” — Golf’s money marriage. Vita Coco’s coconut surge. Coinbase’s big lawsuit.
The PGA Tour is merging with LIV Golf, because those Saudi pockets are just too deep. A top-performing IPO from 2021? It’s Vita Coco — The stock has doubled because coconut water is in 10% of American fridges. Coinbase’s stock fell 20% the past 2 days because it’s trying to obey the laws of crypto… but there are no laws of crypto. $COCO $COIN $BTC Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 985😎 “iPhone… for your Face” — Apple’s new iGoggles. Hot Wheels’ inflation-proof toy. Bud Light’s buy-cott.
The Vision Pro headset is Apple’s biggest product since the iPhone — but does it pass “The Ugly Rule”? We found a 4th inflation-proof product… and it’s the top-selling toy on earth: Hot Wheels cars. And we just got the numbers on the Bud Light boycott — It’s not just a boycott, it’s a buy-cott. 0:00- Intro 3:26 - Apple Vision Pro 10:36 - Bud Light Backlash 14:29 - Hotwheels 19:41 - Takeaways 20:32 - Best Fact Yet 21:33 - Shoutouts $AAPL $BUD $TAP $MAT Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 982🦾 “Paper menu, please!” — QR Codes’ failure. Delta’s greenwashing lawsuit. Elon’s Chinese feast.
Restaurants replaced physical menus with QR Codes during the pandemic, but now their use is plummeting — Because this innovation is not solving a problem. America’s two most important businessmen were in China to pursue profits — but with profits, comes peace. And Delta Airlines was supposed to be the 1st carbon neutral airline, but it just got sued for greenwashing. $YELP $DAL $TSLA $JPM Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 981👑 “We analyze Waystar Royco” — Succession’s fictional reality. The Debt Ceiling deal. Casinos’ Blackjack tweak.
Even in fiction, there are real business takeaways — So we jumped in TBOY-style to Succession’s Waystar Royco (FYI no spoilers). The President and Speaker reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling — short term crisis avoided, but long term damage done. And Las Vegas casinos just had their most profitable year for gambling ever thanks to one sneaky move: Tweaking Blackjack to create scarcity.$LVS $WYNN $CZR Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 980🍜 “Gastrodiplomacy 101” — Korea’s kimchi capitalism. Gmail’s blue checkmark. Clear’s looooong line challenge.
Fourteen years ago, South Korea’s government made a strategic decision that would change the future of its economy: Encourage Koreans living abroad to open Korean restaurants… aka “Gastrodiplomacy.” Notice something new in your inbox? Gmail has zucked Twitter’s blue checkmark. And since you finished the 3-day weekend in traffic or on the tarmac, we’ve got to look at Clear Secure — Because Clear’s greatest challenge is its own success.$ME $GOOG $METARecorded at Spotify Studios LA Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 979🏓 “Snitcher’s hotline” — Airbnb’s anti-party escalation. Twitter’s Fox News dupe. Abercrombie’s mullet surge.
Airbnb permanently banned parties last year, but it’s cracking down even more this Memorial Day Weekend with a snitcher’s hotline. Elon’s got a new plan to turn around Twitter — become Fox News 2.0. And Abercrombie & Fitch’s stock just surged 30% thanks to what we call “The Mullet Phenomenon.” Recorded at Spotify Studios LA Our weekly news quiz: go.tboypod.com$ABNB $ANF $AE Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 978🤖 “AI’s brain cells” — Nvidia’s chip surge. Cava’s hummus IPO. Google & Uber’s robo-taxi.
The 6th most valuable company on earth? It’s Nvidia — because not all computer chips are equal. We finally have an IPO this year: It’s Cava, the Chipotle of Mediterranean food, and it’s covering the suburbs in hummus. And Google and Uber just teamed up on a self-driving robo-taxi… so we think Tesla should acquire Lyft.

We’ve got 1 week and 1 day left until the US defaults on its debt, so it’s time to talk about the craziest option left: The Trillion-Dollar Coin. Professional Bull Riding is creating 8 cowboy-powered teams — Because Wall Street is bullish on bulls (literally). And Peloton just completely changed its entire look, brand, and business model… it wasn’t a makeover, it was plastic surgery $PTON $EDR $SPY Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Everyone’s talking about China and India, but the real economic story right now is… Japan. BMW’s newest product? It’s an electric yacht, because smart marketing is all about re-anchoring.

Ep 974🫶 “We’re official” — Bumble’s relationship acquisition. TikTok’s Montana ban. Capital One’s Warren Buffett.
Bumble’s newest acquisition isn’t a dating app, it’s a relationship app — because Bumble’s tired of being one-and-done. TikTok just got banned in Montana, but can Montana really ban TikTok? And Warren Buffett just put $1B on a credit card — Literally. Warren’s betting on Capital One stock.This week’s quiz: go.tboypod.com $BMBL $COF $AMEXWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 973🫙 “The Avicii of Aioli” — Heinz’s sandbox strategy. AI’s nuclear agency. Target’s growing shrinkage.
Heinz’s newest product isn’t a sauce, it’s a make-your-own condiment freestyle machine — Because you should treat your customers like kids in a sandbox. The creator of ChatGPT just told Congress that AI is a nuclear technology… that should be regulated like nuclear. And Target just revealed that it’ll lose $1B this year on Shrinkage — which is corporate speak for theft — but the root of the problem isn’t what you think.$KHC $TGT $TJXWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

One new startup will give you a free big-screen TV… for free — Because they don’t want your money, they want your data. Lego’s newest toy is for people ages 18 and up, because Lego’s new favorite customer is adults. And Home Depot’s stock just dragged down the stock market, but that’s actually a good thing.$HD $MAT $HASWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Nintendo just launched the latest Zelda video game — we crunched the numbers to learn that it will make more money than the last 3 Star Wars movies… combined. Vice Media is filing for bankruptcy because social media success doesn’t equal business success. And a new survey reveals that job satisfaction just hit a 35-year high in America — Because after “The Great Resignation” comes “The Big Stay.” $NTDOY $DIS $BZFDWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 970🧑🎤👩🎤 “T-Swift vs. Bey” — The $1B Concert Battle. Twitter’s new CEO. Death of the free ecommerce return.
For years, we’ve all been enjoying free returns on online orders, until now — Because returns are the Achilles Heel of ecommerce. Beyonce and Taylor Swift are both on track for the first ever $1B concert tour, but they are getting there in different ways. And Twitter has a new CEO — the question is will Elon let her do her job. $AMZN $LYV $CMCSAWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Since 1 out of 3 couples registered for wedding gifts on Bed Bath & Beyond, Etsy is jumping into BB&B’s bankruptcy void. We crunched the numbers on the electric truck company Rivian: It’s only got 2 years of cash left in the tank. And Google just unveiled its first ever foldable phone… but it costs more than a computer… and they won’t call it a phone.$ETSY $RIVN $GOOGWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Wendy’s just got hooked up with a Google AI robot that will take your order at the drive-thru window — and it’s programmed to upsell you. Planet Fitness is letting high schoolers workout for free this summer, because the free sample will lead to $72M/year in actual sales. And the White House is proposing new rules to force airlines to compensate you when they cancel a flight — aka “The Apology Fee” — Because this summer will be the riskiest travel season ever.$GOOG $PLNT $DAL $UAL $JBLU $WENWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 966👙👙 “#Dupe” — Lululemon’s knockoff embrace. Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky. Warren Buffett’s succession.
Lululemon just had a “Dupe Swap”: You show up with a knockoff, walk out with the real thing. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey just ripped on Twitter and launched a rival: Bluesky — because right now we’re all Social Media nomads. And Warren Buffett just hosted the biggest weekend in finance of the year, but the only word on everyone’s mind was… succession.$LULU $BRK.A $METAWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Adidas first thought that ending Kanye’s Yeezy line would cost it $250M, but turns out it was $800M… cause when you live by the Influencer, you die by the Influencer. Shopify just announced it’s giving up on its biggest dream, but Wall Street rewarded it for quitting. And Michelle Obama’s first startup is kids snacks and drinks — because the biggest thing in food right now is small. $ADDYY $SHOP $KWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 964👑 “We crunched the coronation cash” - England’s Royal ROI. Airbnb’s room strategy. Band-Aid’s IPO.
The coronation of King Charles the III is tomorrow in London — but you didn’t realize the royal family is Royalty Incorporated (worth $21B). Airbnb’s always let you book private rooms (not just entire homes), but it’s doubling down on affordable options because that’s core to its identity. And Band-Aid Brands is part of the biggest IPO of 2023: Kenvue — It’s worth $40B, because branding is a powerful drug.

Ep 963🥩 “I’ll try the Tucson T-Bone” — Olive Garden’s steak strategy. Debt Ceiling drama. Ford’s Tesla trick.
The Olive Garden’s parent company is spending $715M to buy Ruth’s Chris steakhouse because there are only 2 reasons to do a deal: to diversify or to double-down. The biggest financial story for the next month is the Debt Ceiling, so we’re jumping in TBOY-style to what the drama means. And Ford just revealed the funky framework of the car industry: Pickup trucks are the venture capitalists of electric cars.$RUTH $DRI $F $TSLAWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

We just saw the first stock market victim of AI: Chegg’s online tutoring stock plummeted 48% because students aren’t using tutors… they’re using ChatGPT. Uber just had its best day on Wall Street ever, so we need to stop comparing it to Lyft (fyi: Uber is now worth 20X Lyfts). And one struggling German soccer team found a unique strategy to fix its half-empty stadium problem: Free tickets.$CHGG $UBER $LYFTWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

The final episode of the Late Late Show with James Corden just aired because the business model of the late night talk show isn’t working. J.P. Morgan just acquired First Republic Bank, because the government needed it to. And the fastest-growing soda in the US is a soda that hates soda… Olipop soda.Vote for the best onesie yet: https://forms.gle/9auDWyBjpHBP15jg8$PARA $JPM $FRB $PEP $KOWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Las Vegas has pulled off an epic pivot: From sin city to family fiestas. First Republic Bank’s stock has plummeted 99%, and all the options to handle the crisis are bad.

The number of Americans playing chess has shockingly doubled in just 6 months — and it’s all because of one website’s wild strategy. Meta surged 14% after its earnings because tech has a new favorite “word du jour.” And sports apparel giant Fanatics has 90M users, but it’s making a major pivot before its IPO: From t-shirts to sports bets.$META $GOOG $MSFTTake our weekly pop-biz pop-quiz at go.tboypod.com Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Remember when we told you 2 out of 3 acquisitions fail? Well we found one that didn’t: Insinkerator and Whirlpool. Chipotle stock just hit an all-time high because they raised prices on your burrito… but you ate it anyway (we call it “Love-flation”). And Microsoft was about to make the biggest deal in its entire history for video games… but then someone pulled the power cord.$WHR $CMG $MSFT $ATVIWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Have you gotten more interested in interest lately? It’s not just you. A record number of Americans are moving around their money because they’re chasing yield (and it’s probably worth it). Tiffany’s jewelry is reopening its flagship store in NYC after 4 years — but it’s not a store… it’s a museum. And we found an economic crystal ball: It’s Packaging Corp — Because before you something can be bought, it must be packaged.$PKG $UPS $FDX $LVMUY $FRBWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Robotaxes have taken over San Francisco’s streets, but the real winner here could be Elon’s Tesla. Before it got disrupted, Bed Bath & Beyond was disrupting with 1 marketing strategy that it went all-in on. And sales of Coca-Cola’s drinks are all up, except for 1 particular beverage… because ⅔ of acquisitions fail.$BBBY $KO $GOOG $TSLAWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

The newest Billion-Dollar Brand? It will be Goldfish Crackers… because Goldfish uses “The Wingman Strategy.” We noticed Spotify hasn’t been looking like Spotify so far this year — and that’s ok. And Ikea is making its biggest investment ever, putting $2B into 17 new US locations — So we’re comparing Ikea to Wayfair.$CPB $SPOT $WWant merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Ep 947⚽ “Ryan Reynolds FC” – Wrexham’s soccer contentification. Tesla’s MegaBatteries. National Parks’ small fees.
Actor Ryan Reynolds acquired a Welsh soccer club that’s now winning — The story’s worthy of a documentary (oh wait, there already is one).

Ep 945🧢 “Merch Monday” — Aesop’s profit shampoo. Levi’s denim drama. The Pope’s fancy AI.
L’Oreal acquired Aesop, the Australian soap and shampoo company, for $2.5B because they sell the most profitable physical thing we’ve ever seen. Levi’s stock dropped 15% in one day last week because when the economy drops, so do your jeans.

The real winner of March Madness was the NCAA women — They smashed viewership records because story is king. And JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon just shared his economic wisdom in an annual letter, but we’re focused on the less he taught his daughter.$AAPL $JPM $BACFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Forget the “FAANG” stocks of Wall Street — What’s driving stocks today are the “JAM” stocks: Just Apple & Microsoft.

Major League Baseball has 10x as many games as the NFL, but half the revenue — so it just made three rule changes to fix “The Boring Problem.” Tomorrow, Twitter is yanking away blue check marks from all its legacy famous people, but can Elon go from “free” to “fee?” And we got an update on the Egg-flation Situation: Egg prices have popped so much that one company’s profits surged 700%.Play the weekly TBOY Quiz: https://go.tboypod.com/Can you go 5 out of 5 on this week’s pop-biz news stories?$CALMLearn more about your ad choices.
