The Best One Yet - 🩱 “85% off Ozempic” — Ozempic’s weight-loss dupe. Burger King’s free-tuition strategy. Red Lobster’s shrimp bankrupt-sea.

Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, & Burger King are all pursuing the same marketing strategy: Pay your tuition — Companies are dishing out scholarships because brands are the new institutions.

Ozempic is facing its first ever dupe, a version that costs 85% less — Hims & Hers found a loophole, and are launching a weight-loss business line off it.

And The Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy yesterday, so we’re comparing the seafood chain to The Olive Garden — One gave away carbs (and thrived), while the other gave away protein (and died).

Plus, Costco is officially hosting birthday parties in aisle 6 — So we want to know which retail chain you’d hit up to host a party.

The Best One Yet - 🐔 “Chicken Finger Financier” — Raising Cane’s secret sauce. Mercedes’ “Alabama Discount”. Copper’s the new gold.

Raising Cane’s has become the fastest growing chicken chain in the country, it’s 10x bigger than Sweetgreen — But their secret sauce is actually an app… that you can’t use.

A Mercedes’ factory voted against unionizing last week, dealing the UAW a blow — But the real story here involves Alabama Football Coach Nick Saban and the “Alabama Discount”.

And Copper prices are beating gold, crypto, and the entire S&P 500 this year — Because new technologies require new minerals.

Plus, New York City has successfully cut its rat population by 14% — So NYC is hosting the first ever rat convention #RatCon.

The Best One Yet - 🫠 “Promotion, Pay Raise, or Taco Tuesday?” — The secret to job satisfaction. Netflix’s NFL Christmas gift. Wayfair’s 1st megastore.

Job satisfaction just hit a record high 62.7% in America, but it also revealed a strange paradox — More Americans prefer company culture than a promotion or pay raise.

Netflix just gave itself the biggest Christmas gift of all: NFL football games for the next 3 Christmases — But Netflix isn’t buying NFL games, they’re renting them.

And Wayfair, the online-only furniture store, is opening their first ever physical store in Wilmette Illinois — Because ecommerce ran into reality.

Plus, it’s National Bike-To-Work Day, but we found a fascinating connection between bikes and airplanes — The inventors of the airplane came from “Big Bike Money.”

The Best One Yet - ❤️ “Elmo the Influencer” — Sesame Street’s Instagram strategy. Uber’s new Costco run. Google is killing Google Search with AI.

Elmo, Big Bird, and Mr. Snuffleupagus are trending on social media because of Sesame Street’s new strategy — Sometimes you’ve got to do things that don’t scale.

Uber just launched its newest form of transportation: A bus — Because public transportation can’t take you to a 10pm concert or a 6am Costco run.

And Google’s new artificial intelligence announcement is actually going to kill Google Search — Because technology can retire an entire industry.

Plus, the hot new place to work these days? It’s not your home or your office… its Disney World — Disney’s become the new productivity coworking space for Millennial techies, lawyers, and finance folks.

The Best One Yet - 🩲 “Kim’s gravitational force” — Skims WNBA win. Made In China’s 100% tariff. Pizza Hut’s burger strategy.

Kim Kardashian’s Skims just announced a WNBA partnership — Because Skims is competing where Victoria’s Secret and Spanx won’t play.

Pizza Hut is launching its first… hamburger — But 30 years ago, McDonald’s tried launching a pizza. And it’s a case study in getting out of your comfort zone.

And the White House just quadrupled tariffs on EVs, batteries, solar panels, and chips from China — Because “Made in China” doesn’t mean cheap anymore.

Plus, Utah is getting its 1st NHL team and fans get to choose the name — What would you name Salt Lake City’s pro hockey team (our money’s on “Yeti”)? Vote here: https://nhlinutah.com/

The Best One Yet - 🏒🏀 “New York Sports, Inc.” — Madison Square Garden’s playoff stock pop. GameStop’s return of the kitty. OpenAI’s ease-of-use.

With the Knicks and Rangers deep in the playoffs for the first time in decades, MSG Sports stock is winning right now — But it suffers from the Diva Discount (we’re talking James Dolan).

Sam Altman and OpenAI just announced their newest AI breakthrough: GPT4o — But this isn’t about how smart it is, it’s about how easy it is to use.

And GameStop’s stock ended the day 74% higher because Roaring Kitty tweeted a meme after 3 years of silence — We’re talking meme stocks again.

Plus, the biggest Solar Storm in 20 years is messing with America’s economy — Tractors can’t navigate for the same reason that brought us the Northern Lights.

The Best One Yet - 🧊 “Buy a North Pole Condo” — 15k acres of Arctic real estate. Warby Parker’s perfection. Chevy Malibu’s extinction.

The world’s most-northern piece of real estate just hit the market for $300M — We predict who will buy Svalbard, and what kind of wild polar park it will become.

Warby Parker’s stock surged 18% last week because of a wild retention stat — 100% of Warby-wearers buy a 2nd pair within 4 years.

And General Motors just announced it’s killing the Chevrolet Malibu, which was GM’s last sedan — turns out, all American sedans are no-more, not just because consumers want huge cars.

Plus, Sriracha is pausing sauce production due to green chili peppers — They think it’s a problem, but we think it’s a missed marketing opportunity.

The Best One Yet - 🇨🇭 “Swiss Army Knifeless” — Victorinox’s blade pivot. Disney & HBO’s Stream Team. The $400 red pineapple.

Victorinox’s legendary Swiss Army Knife faces an existential challenge: knife bans — So it’s offering a knife-less swiss army knife that’s actually more like a steak knife.

Disney and Warner Brothers Discovery are launching a streaming bundle this summer that includes Disney+, Hulu, and Max — People say this is like a cable TV all over again, we show how it’s not. 

And Del Monte Foods has created a ruby red pineapple through cross-breeding that sells for $400 apiece — It’s a “halo product” designed to sell regular products.

Plus, you voted for us to win the webby awards, so we recorded this podcast in pink rompers… and did our first TikTok dance video. Watch on Instagram here or on TikTok here @tboypod

The Best One Yet - 🧴 “Lather me in CeraVe” — Neutrogena’s skincare mistake. The NYT’s Wordle milestone. FTX’s perfect bankruptcy.

Neutrogena has lost its crown as the #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare… and #1 in sales — Because CeraVe did 3 things Neutrogena was too afraid to do.

The New York Times just passed a wild milestone — The NYT has more gaming & cooking subscribers than news subscribers.

And FTX just announced the perfect bankruptcy — All FTX customers are will be repaid in full, despite Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud. We’ll explain how.

Plus, NYC is officially the millionaire capital of the world — 1 out of every 24 New Yorkers is a millionaire (which means there are 3 millionaires on every block in this city).

The Best One Yet - 🫠 “I got charged a Flake Fee” — Cancellation fees’ surge. Uber & Instacart hookup. Netflix’s live comedy fest.

The new trend in fees? The Flake Fee — From restaurants to salons to spin classes, more Americans are getting charged for canceling last second.

We’re in the middle of Netflix is a Joke, the 12 day comedy fest in LA that’s streamed live on Netflix — Netflix is betting on a live streamed comedy fest, because First Movers keep moving.

And Uber & Instacart are rivals, but just moved into each other’s apps — And it’s all to take on DoorDash, because “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”

Plus, It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week, so Nick & Jack shoutout some of the greatest ones yet.
