Ep 875🍪 “Utah’s Cookie King” — Crumbl’s cookie recipe. Lululemon’s fanny packs. Microsoft’s bigness lawsuit.

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?

Ep 873🏴‍☠️ “That’s huuuuge shrinkage” — Walmart’s $2.5B theft. Fanatics’ Yankees strategy. AutoZone’s grandma car.

We just calculated that Walmart lost $2.5B this year from shoplifting. The sports apparel brand Fanatics just hit a $31B valuation because it’s borrowing the business model of the New York Yankees. And AutoZone’s stock just hit an all-time high because America’s cars are acting like America’s grandmas.$AZO $WMTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 872🤖 “A robot wrote today’s episode” — OpenAI’s chatbot brain. Hot Pockets’ smeals. Slack’s rich vs. king.

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?

Ep 871🍸 “Cocktail of the Year” — Espresso Martini’s gateway drink. College Football’s playoff penalty. Owen Corning’s coziest stock.

Orders for the Espresso Martini quadrupled in 2022, because it’s the ultimate gateway drink for the cocktail curious. College Football’s tripling the size of the playoffs, but it’s facing an ancient growth risk: Dilution. And just as it gets too cold, Owens Corning is a pure-play cozy stock.$PRNDY $OCFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 870⌚ “Rolex or Folex?” — Rolex’s used Rolexes. The B-21 Bomber’s anti-war plane. Netflix’s preview club.

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.

It’s our last pod until Monday, November 28th, so we’re looking at The Return of the Jedi in real life — 3 years ago, Disney’s Bob Iger quit, now he’s back as CEO. Breakfast icon Denny’s just launched a bottomless breakfast blouse that broke Black Friday: A $6 t-shirt worth 1,000 pancakes. And your wallet is smaller than last year, but thanks to jobs, experts think you’ll spend more on the holidays than last year (spoiler: It’s a “Santa Splurge”).$DIS $DENN $WMT $AMZN $SPYFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Starbucks’ busiest day of the year was yesterday’s “Red Cup Day”, because holidays beat habits.

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 832BONUS #1 🔥 The Inventor of Virality: Jonah Peretti, Buzzfeed Founder & CEO

In our first TBOY interview, we chat with the Founder and CEO of Buzzfeed, Jonah Peretti. Buzzfeed was the first media company built on virality, harnessing the power of the internet to scale humor, joy, news… and a listicle on which Disney princess you are. But before Buzzfeed went public for $1.5B in 2021, Buzzfeed really began when Jonah was a student and turned a sneaker email with Nike into the 1st viral sensation. So we’re whipping up the Takeaways with Jonah on why something goes viral, what it says about our own psychology, the meaning of humor, Millennials vs Gen Z, what would surprise us about Buzzfeed, how the media industry is like a musical concert — and how he’d host a dinner sitting between Mark Zuckerberg and Rupert Murdoch.Learn more about your ad choices.
