The Best One Yet - 🐑 “MUGGs” — Man Uggs are surging. Ozempic’s inventor’s dilemma. The Fed’s Debbie Downer. Reese’s + Oreos.

Uggs’ sales are surging thanks to men… And it’s not the only brand pulling off a gender pivot.

Novo Nordisk stock is down 65%... because “inventing” something doesn’t mean “winning” it.

The Federal Reserve made its interest rate decision… no change. We explain the Debbie Downer decision.

Reese’s & Oreos just teamed up despite being rivals… Enemies with benefits

The Best One Yet - ⛳ “He’s a 10 but…” — Tea’s red flag dating app. Quince’s $4.5B cashmere. Our 1st Transcontinental Railroad. Happy Gilmore’s cameo strategy.

The #1 dating app right now also has the #1 drama… because Tea lets you rate dudes.

The biggest deal of 2025? An $85B railroad deal… but it’s actually the 1st transcontinental train.

Fashion brand Quince hit $4.5B for cashmere & caviar… but it’s really America’s Shein.

The Best One Yet - 🎙️ “LIVE Interview with Slate’s CEO 🛻 Chris Barman’s EV Disruptor”

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.

Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate’s not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it’s also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).

So in today’s interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it’s possible to build and sell a car for $25. She’ll tell us the craziest idea they *didn’t* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump’s EV moves.

The Best One Yet - 🎙️ “Chicago LIVE Show” — Uno’s casino strategy. Amazon’s AI eavesdropper. Tour de France’s $150M surprise.

Live… from Chicago… it’s The Best One Yet!

We performed our show in front of a live studio audience of Besties & Yetis at Chicago’s famous Vic Theater. Some extra razzle dazzle & sprinkle dinkle — but our usual daily Takeaways you know & love.

#1: Michael Jordan’s mansion is now on Airbnb ($17K/night)… but can it boost the stock?

#2: Mattel’s Uno card game is expanding into movies & theme parks… by borrowing a strategy from Duolingo.

#3: Amazon just acquired an AI listening device to be your personal assistant… can it make the iPhone a dumb phone?

#4: The Tour de France ends this weekend… and the $150M event is the wildest outlier in the business of sports.

The Best One Yet - 💫 “Viva La Profits” — Coldplay’s record-breaking tour. Coke’s Mexican Coke. Cetaphil’s AI skin hack.

Coldplay is now the #2 highest-grossing concert tour ever… their concerts manufacture virality.

Coca-Cola is launching coke w/ cane sugar instead of corn syrup… it could be “Luxury Coke”

Cetaphil has given their website a makeover… because chatbots read websites, not people.

As Shark Week goes full hammerhead, sharks are at all time highs…

The Best One Yet - 🍔 “Supercharge me” — Tesla’s drive-in movie diner. YKK’s zipper monopoly. WNBA’s salary drama.

Tesla just opened something completely wild: a drive-in movie theater diner / charging station… run by robots.

About ½ of all zippers are made by 1 company: YKK… it’s the most international brand on earth.

WNBA All-Stars wore pay-protest t-shirts on the court… so we’re breaking down the salary negotiation.

Plus, the untold origin story of the most valuable franchise in history… Pokemon.

The Best One Yet - 🔥 “Hot People Only” — Secret Influencer apps. Colbert’s Last Show. Crypto Week’s Roman Empire.

There’s a secret app for influencers to get anything for free… and now we know about it.

The reason the Late Show industry is getting canceled? Partly business, partly politics… and partly podcasts.

“Crypto Week” passed America’s 1st three Bitcoin laws… and it reminds us of Julius Caesar.

The newest trend in coffee… is serving it in giant plastic buckets.
