The Best One Yet - 🕵️ “Keep your robe on” — Airbnb’s security camera ban. LEGO’s Harry Potter overload. $10k of 1st-time homebuyers.

Airbnb’s banned indoor security cameras from airbnbs worldwide (good for guests, bad for creeps) — But it reveals the Platform Paradox: It’s hard to make both guests and hosts happy.

LEGO only announces earnings once per year — Turns out 2023 was the worst year for toys in 15 years, so LEGO is leaning on Harry Potter obscurity.

And the White House just revealed a plan to ignite the housing market that we call “The Empty Nester Nudge” — If you’re buying or selling a starter home, you could get $10,000.

The Best One Yet - 🛩️ “If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going” — Boeing’s original sin 27 years ago. Panera’s initial panini offering. Covid’s 4th birthday.

🗽TBOY Live NYC 🍎— Tickets on sale Thursdays here: https://citywinery.com/new-york-city/events/tboy-pod-cs3z0i


It’s the 4th birthday of Covid, so we’re looking at all the way’s the economy’s changed — Cruises are up, Zoom is down, and you live 2x as far from work.

Just before Panera does another IPO (Initial Public Offering), the sandwich chain is loosening their food standards — Because IPOs are like financial Ozempic.

And Boeing airplanes caused another scary close call in the skies yesterday — And all of Boeing's safety issues can be traced back to one big biz decision.

The Best One Yet - 🍌 “This Pod is Bananas” — Bananas’ inflation-eater. TikTok’s ban vote. Women’s worldwide job record.

There is 1 product that has defied inflation more than any other: The Banana — Bananas have remained the most affordable fruit in America for 3 reasons, and 1 of them is turning brown (literally).

TikTok’s worst week ever: Congress is voting on whether to force TikTok to split from China — But the surprise on the ballot this election year may be Gen Z TikTokers.

And the percentage of women working just hit an all-time high *worldwide* — And it all comes down to one key: Childcare.


Plus, for your consideration, we present… TBOY Awards. “And the TBOY goes to…”

The Best One Yet - BONUS 💤 “Stock Market Snooze Pod” — We read Amazon’s 1st shareholder letter from 1997… to put you to sleep 😴

Since we all lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Savings this weekend, we whipped up a special podcast to help you fall asleep: We read the first shareholder letter from Amazon’s 1997 annual report. Of all the corporate reports out there, this one is fascinating — Jeff Bezos illustrates the master plan that he would spend the next 25 years executing on. But it’s still a corporate report, so you’ll drift off somewhere between the 4th and 7th time Bezos mentions “relentless customer focus.” This is the first ever… Stock Market Snooze Pod: The Sleepiest One Yet.

The Best One Yet - 🎷“Invest in Ja Rule” — Jukebox’s song stocks. Rivian’s DINK-mobile. Walmart’s early bird super delivery.

JKBX is letting retail investors own a piece of their favorite songs, like Beyonce’s “Halo” — Because the SEC just approved Wall Street’s publicly-traded jukebox.

Rivian just unveiled a compact electric SUV, the R2, and surprised us with the R3 and R3X as well  — Because the future of electric cars depends on creating “The DINK-Mobile.”

And Walmart just launched what we call “Early Bird Super Delivery”: 1-hour delivery if you order before 6am — Because great businesses don’t look at what will change, they look at what *won’t* change.


And look out for a special bonus pod this weekend: The Snooze Pod (The Sleepiest One Yet).

The Best One Yet - 🧑‍🍳 “No tables for 6+” — Restaurants’ Group Dinner ban. Sam vs. Elon: The Toxic Bromance. Foot Locker’s Nike obsession.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman were once the low-key bromance of tech — But now they’re in a brutal legal fight over OpenAI and the future of artificial intelligence.

Foot Locker’s in love with Nike: 60% of its sales are of things with a swoosh – But Foot Locker’s stock fell 30% yesterday because Nike’s just not that into you.

And restaurants just revealed the 1 type of table they hate the most: Party of 6 — Nanoeconomics shows why many restaurants are not allowing parties of 6 or more.


Plus, Miami Beach is trying to break up with spring breakers. No bienvenidos, Will Smith.

The Best One Yet - ⏳ “Love those Sand Worms” — Dune’s IMAX surge. Whole Foods’ 1st bodega. The government’s #FedTech hiring spree.

Dune: Part 2 just brought in $182M at the box office on opening weekend, but the winner was IMAX — Because regular theaters are in trouble, premium theaters ain’t.

Whole Foods Market its 1st ever Bodega — Because the idea can be right even if the execution is wrong.

And while tech companies continue layoffs, 1 company is hiring: The Government — We call it FedTech… and to hire up, they’re paying up.


Plus, a massive helium deposit was found 2,200 feet under Minnesota — It’s #2 in the periodic table, but #1 in our hearts.

The Best One Yet - 🎂🇮🇳 “Plus-one (Billion)” — The company behind India’s epic wedding. Apple’s $2B Spotify penalty. Caitlin Clark’s basketball payday.

CEOs of Meta, Disney, and Microsoft attended the wedding of Asia’s richest family: The Ambani’s — Behind it all is Reliance Industries, India’s biggest company.

Apple was just fined $2B by the European Union for anti-competitive drama with Spotify — The shocker? The App Store in question is the only part of Apple that’s growing.

And Iowa’s basketball star Caitlin Clark has set the all-time scoring record for women and men — But we’re looking at her NIL deals and thinking: she’s already pro.


Plus, it’s Jack’s birthday, so we’ve got a poll going in his honor about a surprise in Birkenstock’s earnings report:
