The Best One Yet - 💀 “I talk to famous dead people” — Chat(bot) with anyone. Israel’s startup threat. Carnival’s IOU cruise.

What if you could chat with Abe Lincoln, Super Mario, and Nikki Minaj? The latest $1B AI startup lets you have conversations with famous people… alive or dead, fictional or non-fictional. Israel erupted in protests because of the government’s moves on the Supreme Court — And that could kill Israel’s innovation power. And Carnival Cruises just enjoyed its best quarter of bookings ever, so why’s its stock at a record low? $CCL $NCLH $GOOG Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 👑 “Queen of the Rental Romper” — Urban Outfitters’ rental win. Apple’s movie theater. Ford’s dating profile.

Urban Outfitters is one of the few fashion stocks actually up right now and it’s thanks to one thing: Rental Rompers. Apple’s next big thing? Spending $1B every year on blockbuster movies for movie theaters. And Ford just updated its dating profile: It’s got an electric surprise. $URBN $AAPL $F Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 🔥 “Too Lit to Prohibit” — TikTok’s judgment day. PetCo’s peak puppy. Cash App’s rap battle.

TikTok’s CEO just tried to convince Congress that it’s all good, but our elected representatives seemed to disagree — so the question remains: Is TikTok too lit to prohibit?

The Best One Yet - 🍸 “Hot Martini Summer” — White Claw’s vodka pivot. The Fed’s 2 monsters. Amazon’s MIA moment.

White Claw already disrupted beer with spiked seltzer… now it’s disrupting both with its own vodka. The Fed just made its biggest policy decision of the year as it fights 2 monsters with 1 weapon: Inflation and a bank crisis. And Amazon’s moves with Panera Bread look nice, but it’s not making any moves in AI — because Amazon is best when it plays like John Stockton of the Utah Jazz. $SAM $AMZN $SPY Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 🍍 “Squeeze that pineapple” — Dole’s fruit problem. Netflix’s on-ramp. Hoka’s Rudy stock.

Dole’s in the fruit business faces a fundamental problem: 1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4 — They’re all the same banana, Chaquito or Dole. Netflix just hit 1M subscribers of its ad-supported version, because it built an on-ramp for password moochers. And the fastest-growing shoe brand right now isn’t Nike or Allbirds — it’s Hoka, the Rudy of athletic stocks. $DECK $DOLE $ONON $NFLX Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 🇫🇷 “Emily not in Paris” — France’s retirement ruckus. Microsoft’s AI coworker. Rolls-Royce’s literal moonshot.

Protests, fires, and trash flood the streets of Paris because the retirement age in France was raised to 64 — it’s not just about economics, it’s about national identity. Rolls-Royce is developing a moonshot (literally): A nuclear reactor for the moon. And if you work with Google or Microsoft software, then you’re about to get a new AI coworker. $RYCEY $GOOG $MSFT Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 💍 “A Dearth of I Dos” — Zales’ fiancée shortage. Bank Bailout Glossary. Disney’s digital babysitter.

2022 was The Year of the Wedding, but 2023 has a proposal problem — and that’s a problem for the jewelry industry. Three US banks are beating up the financial system globally, but in 3 different ways: Silicon Valley Bank got rescued, Credit Suisse got a bailout, and First Republic got an intervention. And Disney upped the price of Disney+ by $3/month and we all paid it — because it’s not just a media company, it’s a digital on-demand babysitter. $SIG $DIS $FRB $CS $SIVB Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 🤠 “iTed iLasso” — Apple’s marketing nirvana. Air Fryer vs Instapot. TikTok’s American ban.

Apple just dropped Season 3 of Ted Lasso and achieved “marketing nirvana” — Because the real star was FaceTime. Nestle warns that there’s a war breaking out in kitchens across America: Air Fryers vs Instant Pots. And TikTok was just told by the US government that it must sell itself or be banned from America… again (and we’re super extra serious this time).

The Best One Yet - 👟🏀 “Air Money” — Michael Jordan’s sneaker record. SVB’s Smokey the Bear. Ryan Reynolds’ T-Mobile triumph.

Michael Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals sneakers are expected to sell for a record price at auction — But MJ’s slam dunks also reflect a fundamental rule of finance. While Silicon Valley Bank has fallen, one winner has emerged… and it involves Smokey the Bear. And actor Ryan Reynolds just sold his wireless startup to T-Mobile because T-Mobile is sultry right now. $NKE $ADDYY $SIVB $BAC $CS $TMUS $VZ $T Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

The Best One Yet - 🏦 “Mo Money Mo Problems” — Silicon Valley Bank’s Notorious BIG. Chick-Fil-A’s steaknife. Allbirds’ fashion quadrant.

The entire Silicon Valley Bank drama can be explained by Biggie Smalls’ “Mo Money Mo Problems” — but so far the system’s working. Chick-Fil-A is spending $1B to expand beyond the US, but it’s going to need “The Steaknife Strategy.” And for the first time ever, Allbirds just saw its shoe sales fall — because it tried to be LA in SF. $SIVB $FRB $BIRD $MCD $SBUX Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?
