Ep 845👟 “De-Yeezying Round 2” — Adidas’ Kanye breakup. Weber Grills’ BBQ deal. YouTube’s short Shorts.
After 9 years of marriage, Adidas is breaking up with Kanye — and that’ll cost it $250M in unsold sandals. Weber Grills surged 30% because they may get acquired by that annoying guy at your backyard BBQ. And all that Google wanted to talk about in its latest earnings was short Shorts.$ADDYY $WEBR $HA $AMZN $GOOGFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 844🤘 “What gives you wings?” — RedBull founder’s legacy. Uber’s epic ad. Joyspun’s underwear strategy.
The Founder of Red Bull passed away, but he left us with the most powerful marketing strategy of our lifetimes. If you’re riding in an Uber today, you may notice something completely new while you wait for that Camry: Ads within Uber. And at a record time for underwear startups, Joyspun just launched — Except it’s already owned by Walmart and it’s already worn by 20% of American women.$UBER $PEP $WMTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 843⚓️ “Biggest cruise ship, biggest mortgage” — Carnival's 11% boat interest. Hermes’ supremium fashion. BMW’s battery belt.
Royal Caribbean is building the largest cruise ship in the history of the world, but the more interesting story is how they paid for the gigantic vessel. Apparently there’s a waitlist for $10,000 belts… because French fashion brand Hermes is in a different economy. And BMW’s next product isn’t a car — It’s part of the Battery Belt across America.$CCL $RCL $HESAY $BMWYYFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 842🤠 “If the jeans fit, you must commit” — Wrangler’s Yellowstone face. Elon vs Bezos. Britain’s financial firing.
Tesla just had its most awkward earnings call ever, but the real story here is Elon Musk vs Jeff Bezos. British Prime Minister Liz Truss just resigned, losing to a head of cabbage — the reason? “It’s the Economy, stupid.” And Wrangler has a new marketing plan to sell you jeans, from watching Yellowstone to listening to jazz. $KTB $TSLA $AMZNFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

If it feels like your rent is rising more than it should, it may have something to do with the startup Yieldstar. Krispy Kreme is now making donuts for McDonald’s — and it reveals a delicious quirk of Krispy’s business model. And what’s better: The Netflix episode deluge or the HBO episode drip?$DNUT $NFLX $ZFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

The #1 app in the App Store over the weekend? It’s Gas, an app to give you constant compliments. Airbnb’s newest investment fund is for building insane houses shaped like potatoes, the Flintstones, and Pink Floyd albums.

Ep 839🐟 “Revenge of the Funa Sandwich” — Subway’s resurrection. Ye’s Parler acquisition. China’s 5-yr plan.
Subway, the world’s largest sandwich chain, was sinking on a fake tuna controversy — So it threw the kitchen sink at the problem. After getting his Twitter account frozen, Kanye is now acquiring Parler… so now 5 men control our 5 speech platforms. And China just re-upped President Xi for another 5 years, so we’re looking at whether its economy will beat America’s. $TWTR $META $MCDFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 838🎮 “Playstation on Wheels” — Sony’s 1st car. Krogertson’s $25B grocery run. Cathie Wood’s lost Ark.
The 1st tech company to release a car will *not* be Apple — It’s Sony. Cathie Wood’s legendary ARK fund just hit a major milestone that screams “Do Less.” And Kroger and Albertsons are merging into a mega grocery store for $25B, but the real story here is Walmart.$SONY $HMC $KR $WMT $ARKKFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Tom Brady. Brené Brown. A multi-billion-dollar hedge fund. They all have bought professional Pickleball teams — but we’re getting FOMO vibes. TripActions just hit a $9B valuation because business travel is getting regulated.

We’re jumping in TBOY style to the most important chain in the country right now: Spirit Halloween — they make $600M in 2 months (scary). Delta just invested millions in a flying airport taxi called Joby, because first impressions are worth it. And TikTok’s job website reveals that they’re about to take on… Amazon.$TGT $HD $DAL $JOBY $AMZNFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 834😶 “The Great De-Yeezy-ing” — Kanye’s Insta-exit. Netflix’s movie theater. Ben Bernanke’s Nobel Prize.
In 72 hours, Kanye West said enough stuff to get blocked by social media — but the Ye drama really reveals Elon’s future for Twitter. Netflix just announced their biggest movie of the year will debut… in theaters? (*checks notes*) Physical movie theaters. And the award for Nobel Prize in Economics goes to: Ben Bernanke and his beard — For an essay in 1983 that saved us in 2008.$NFLX $AMC $META $TWTR $SPOT $AAPLFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Weed stocks just had their best day in 3 years because President Biden loosened the financial handcuffs.

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.

Ep 831🏅 “The Drive-Thru Awards” — Chick-Fil-A’s happy meal. Peloton’s death threat. The Housing Market’s new winner.
Drive-Thru lanes are now a whopping ⅔ of all fast food orders, and we just got the report on who’s #1 and who’s dead last. The Housing Market just made a change we’ve never seen before: It’s no longer a Seller’s Market… but it’s not a Buyer’s Market either… it’s No Man’s Land. And Peloton’s CEO just said something we haven’t heard a CEO say — The company has 6 months. *6 months*.

Ep 830🏎️ “The rich don’t retreat” — Ferrari’s recession shield. OPEC’s new American tax. Crocs’ Hey Dude shoes.
Ferrari just unveiled its first SUV, starting at $400K — because Ferrari is “as recession-proof as it gets.” OPEC just cut oil production in order to jack up the price, because we all pay a gas tax to Saudi Arabia. And the fastest-trending shoe in America isn’t Crocs anymore, it’s Hey Dude… so Crocs acquired Hey Dude for $2.5B. $RACE $CROX $XOM $CVXFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 829☠️ “Chug the Nookie Seltzer” — Liquid Death’s $700M water. Elon's Twitter reversal. Credit Suisse’s Lehman moment.
Remember yesterday when we said Elon Musk is always in the news 3 days in a row? Now the Tesla CEO has changed his mind and offered to buy Twitter for his original price of $44B. Liquid Death just hit a $700M valuation for canned water that tastes like an Iron Maiden tattoo (but is it their Macarena Moment?). And Credit Suisse is getting all the attention this week, but for the wrong reason: Investors are getting Lehman Brothers vibes.$TWTR $CS $KOFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 828🤖 “Elon built a robot” — Tesla’s humanoid robot. Kim Kardashian’s crypto fine. InnovaFeed’s insect meat.
The newest product from Tesla isn’t a car… it’s a humanoid robot for your home. Kim Kardashian was just fined $1.2M by the SEC for an Instagram post about crypto because click-bait can create students. And Innovafeed is mass-producing flies… to feed animals… to feed you$BTC $ETH $TSLAFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Ep 827🍭 “What Gen Z Wants (Candy & Cash App)” — The Zillennial Report. Nike’s too-much-Nike problem. Facebook’s death spiral.
We just got the report on what brands Gen Z likes… and the shocker is how it’s the opposite of Millennials (can we still say Zillennials? TBD). Nike shares dropped 10% Friday because it’s got too many Nike shoes — so we’re preparing for a Christmas of discounts. And guess which company is #499 in the S&P 500 this year? It’s Meta. Because Facebook is facing the Death Spiral, but we may have a solution.$NKE $META $SQFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Our TBOY audience survey: https://u0d3uxj78l0.typeform.com/tboypodMcDonald’s (finally) unveiled the Adult Happy Meal because: Nostalgia Never Dies. LEGO is the biggest toy company on earth because it’s figured out how to out-fun Hasbro and Mattel. And Hurricane Ian has caused an estimated $40B of damage, but we think the smallest number is the scariest: Six.$MCD $HAS $MATFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Dude Perfect is a team of YouTube stars online, but they’re now opening the first ever Influencer Amusement Park in real life. And Biogen’s stock gained $11B of value in one day because it’s latest drug is a huge hope for Alzheimer's sufferers.$LYFT $GM $BIIB $GOOGFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Domino’s stock got upgraded on data that “Pizza Fatigue” isn’t real (aka you always eat pizza).

Beyond Meat just sank to an all-time low after a new survey revealed a problem with plant-based meat: You think it’s lying. Investors are literally treating England like an Emerging Market — so the British Pound is the weakest it’s ever been. And Hopper is now the most-downloaded vacation app in the US because its new strategy is to pay you to party in Mykonos.$BKNG $BYND $GBPFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Big Tech is gang-tackling the NFL: First Amazon won Thursday Night Football, now Apple owns the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Camera icon Polaroid just pivoted from cameras to speakers, but the real product it’s selling is an emotion. And Steelcase is #1 in office chairs for your butt, but it needs offices to get fun fast for it to survive.$AAPL $AMZN $SCSFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Is Block, the owner of Cash App, so into Bitcoin that it’s blinded by its own laser eyes?

Millions of Americans’ pandemic secret was those invisible adult retainers — but SmileDirectClub stock has now fallen 95%. Spotify finally launched audiobooks because nothing feels sticker than Charlotte’s Web. And the Fed just raised interest rates by a record amount for a 3rd time in a row, because someone’s gotta blink first.$SDC $SPOT $SPYFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

Peloton finally launched its new rowing machine… for $3,200… because “Health & Wellness” is now “Wealth & Wellness.” Elf Beauty will never change the price of its $3 lipstick because of Costco’s $1.50 hot dog deal. And in a 2-year period, Big Tech acquired 175 companies — because you need both a farm system and free agent signings.$ELF $PTON $AAPL $AMZNFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

If you can’t get a dinner reservation this weekend, it’s because OpenTable just told us restaurant revenge reservations hit their highest level ever.

Apple didn’t invite us to its huge annual product event (again), but it all came down to our Takeaway: while tech is focused on virtual reality, Apple’s focused on real life. Instacart’s newest strategy to get you grocery shopping is celebrity orders, like the pre-filled cart for Lizzo’s fave cherry cobbler. And the most popular work concept right now is Quiet Quitting… but the numbers show it’s not exactly what you think it is.$AAPL $WMTFollow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypodAnd now watch us on YoutubeWant a Shoutout on the pod?

While we were on vacation, we noticed that the #1 beach chair (by far) is made by one company… yet they don’t even make the product: Tommy Bahama.
