🌭 “The world’s cheapest wiener” — Costco’s hot dog strategy. SpaceX’s 1st yacht. HBO’s ad-pology.

The price of everything is going up… except for the $1.50 Costco Hot Dog & Soda combo (because the co-founder will kill the CEO if it’s a penny more). HBO just made one of the biggest changes in TV ad history: Commercials you won’t hate. And SpaceX just launched wifi for yachts because it’s building Invisible Infrastructure. $COST $WBD $TSLA Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

😈 “Radio$#@&k” — RadioShack’s vulgar strategy. Virgin Galactic’s mothership. The end of online returns.

RadioShack went bankrupt 7 years ago, but its Twitter account has never been more alive. Virgin Galactic figured out how to financially get you into space: The Mothership. And if you try to return that turtleneck to Target, they don’t want it back — just keep it.

🧸 “40-year-old Lego master” — The Kidult toy economy. The Amazon GrubHub sweetener. The major questions doctrine.

The fastest growing segment in toys… is grownups (we’re talking middle-aged fans of Legos, scooters, and dolls). Amazon just invested in GrubHub to add food delivery to Prime because nothing’s stickier than a few sweeteners. And last week the Supreme Court reached one decision that affects every industry in the US: “The Major Questions Doctrine.” $MAT $HAS $JTKWY $AMZN Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

🍽️ “It's a Tesla restaurant AND theater” — Tesla’s 1st diner/theater. Minions’ viral movie. Slutty Vegan’s $100M bun.

What if we told you that Tesla was opening a drive-thru restaurant with a drive-in movie theater? They just filed a permit for one in LA. The Minions movie set box office records thanks to roaming gangs of teenage boys in suits. And Slutty Vegan hit a $100M valuation for an aggressively plant-based burger because if everyone likes you, nobody loves you. $TSLA $CMCSA Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

🍉 “HarryStyles+” — Apple’s concert strategy. College Sports’ super leagues. BlockFi’s 99% drop.

Apple just launched a concert series with Mary J Blige and Harry Styles because in a Recession, Subscription is the Prescription. LA’s 2 top universities joined the Big 10, because college football has become a TV show. And BlockFi lost up to 99% of its value in 3 months (and Harry Styles explains this one, too), because the crypto winter is the riskiest of risky. $BTC $AAPL Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod...

🥃 “An $816,748 gin-vestment” — Rare Whiskey’s record shot. Period Apps’ privacy power. TikTok’s new king.

The most expensive bottles of whiskey ever were just sold in an airport, because where there’s Inflation, there’s gin-vestment opportunities. After Roe v Wade was overturned last week, one part of the digital economy saw a surge: Period-tracking apps. And after 3 years on her throne, Charli D’Amelio was just replaced as Queen of TikTok… just as TikTok shared its internal numbers with us. $STZ $META $GOOG Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Yout...

🥳 “Party Pooper with a Purpose” — Airbnb’s canceled party. Olive Garden’s unlimited hiring breadstick. Rivian’s Adventure Network.

Bad news for keg stands: Airbnb just permanently banned parties at airbnbs, because it’s down with a little friction. The Olive Garden just hit pre-pandemic hiring levels because The Great Resignation is becoming The Great Reversation. And Rivian just launched an electric truck charging network, but there’s 1 catch… you must love 14-mile out-and-back hikes. $RIVN $DRI $ABNB Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?...

Shocker: La-Z-Boy jumped 11% on a record quarter because it borrowed a lesson from Ancient Greek mythology.

💀 “I speak to dead people” — Alexa’s dead grandma mode. Little Caesars' NFL pizza. Juul’s vape-ocalyps

The newest feature from Alexa impersonates the voice of your dead relatives (Yetis, we need to talk about the Jeff Goldblum Principle). Little Caesars just became another “Official Pizza” of the NFL, because “Official” anything is the ultimate Profit Puppy.

Remember yesterday when Kellogg told us that cereal is dead? Well, startup Magic Spoon just raised $85M… for Millennial cereal.

🍿 “Snacks ate everything” — Kellogg’s disowns cereal. Chanel’s V-VIP store. Instagram’s TikTok zucking.

We looked at our instagram feed over the weekend, and we found TikTok (all our friends’ posts were gone).

🌴 “Welcome to Amazon Resort” — Amazon’s luxe influencers. The Warriors’ software championship. Elon’s tweet-and-greet.

The Warriors won the NBA Finals, but the real MVP was a shot-tracking startup called NOAH.

Netflix is so desperate for Season 2 of Squid Game to be a success… that it’s turning the horror show into a reality TV show. Lego is finally building its 1st factory in the US because kids want that toy now (except if they change their minds. Or don’t. Then change again).

Major League Soccer just became the first pro sports league to jump 100% from cable to streaming — and it’s doing it with Apple. Miso Robotics’ greatest invention isn’t a $500M burger-flipping robot… it’s an army of newsletter-reading Fan-vestors.

Google has built an AI chatbot that’s so good, one engineer thinks it feels emotions… like a 7-year-old human. Jack Daniels and Coke is the most ordered I-don’t-know-what-else-to-order drink at the bar, so Coca-Cola is canning its 4th alcohol.

Nestle sees America is consuming record amounts of coffee, so it’s piggybacking with record coffee creamer sales — and making it sweet. Palantir’s CEO did what no other CEO has: visited the President of Ukraine in wartime Liev.

Instead of posting to Instagram, the Jonas Brothers will now text you their best pics and vids (for a price), because creators want to go direct-to-consumer, too. Top Gun went full Maverik and destroyed box office records because viewers decided it was worth going to theater for.
