| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, Teenboy, Tuesday, March 31st. |
| 0:06.0 | Since today's pod is the best one yet, this is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. |
| 0:12.0 | I mean, the big news, you want the honors, Jack? The featured guest of our show next week in New York City is the former host of Million Dollar Listing on Bravo. |
| 0:20.0 | The current host of owning Manhattan on Netflix. He's published three best-selling books, launched an education course, and a venture capital alarm. If you're interested in real estate, entrepreneurship, or being a silver fox, because he's the maestro on marketing sultan of selling regional real estate. Who is it, Jack? Ryan Sirhant, the CEO, TV host, and real estate titan of New York. |
| 0:39.4 | That's right, that's the guest for our New York City live show. |
| 0:43.2 | And yes, he's charging us a 6% non-negotiable fee. |
| 0:47.5 | Grab your final tickets while they last today, and Jack, what do you say we hit the show? |
| 0:52.0 | For our first story, it's wild. |
| 0:55.5 | The same amount of time has passed between Austin Powers and the 1960s as Austin Powers and today. And yet, in the last |
| 1:01.5 | 30 years since the Austin Powers movie, things don't look that different. So we'll explain what |
| 1:06.9 | we're calling the innovation plateau. Uh-huh. And we're doing it through Mike Myers quotes. Yeah, baby. |
| 1:12.7 | For our second story, put oil on the back burner because the war in Iran is now messing with |
| 1:17.2 | aluminum. Basties, hold on to your lacroes because aluminum is actually America's favorite |
| 1:22.0 | metal. And our third and final story, Louis Vuitton just parked a 100 foot tall cruise ship |
| 1:27.0 | in downtown Shanghai on land because it's a store. |
| 1:30.9 | It's a store. Experiential retail is out. Landmark retail is in. |
| 1:36.4 | But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Shall we shag the stories now, Jake? |
| 1:40.6 | We're going to shag them later. What's going on, Matt? Call up George Clooney and Matt Damon. Stat. Yeah, because we got a plot for the next Ocean's 11 sequel sequel. Because |
| 1:49.1 | the two wildest heists of the year just happened within 24 hours of each other. We're talking |
| 1:54.3 | 400,000 kick-cat bars stolen. And a half dozen impressionist paintings stolen. All stolen in just three minutes without a single trace. Was it the same guys? Different guys? Don't know. Got to wait till the Hulu documentary. But in the meantime, Jack, let's dive in D-Boy style. Let's start with the dessert, please. Kit Kat just confirmed that 413,000 Kit Kat bars were stolen from a truck in Europe. Yet he's had it's 12 tons of cocoa. That is M-I-A right now. Police are waiting for the thieves to have a sugar crash. Don't call the cops, by the way. Call Willie Wonk if you see them. And yet hours later, another heist in the same country happened in Italy. Italy, $10 million of impressionist paintings were taken from an Italian museum. These still lives are actually on the go right now. Heck, it's like that Louvice from last year, but the robbers have better taste now. So, Yetis, if you see an original Monet on eBay today, make a buy now offer. Oh, because that Matisse, it is timeless. It seems we're in the middle of a stealing surge. Yes, we are, yet it is. Inflation, it's causing some sticky fingers out there. Last week, $50,000 of walnuts were stolen in the Bronx. $18 million of maple syrup was stolen out of Canada. $100 million of precious crown jewels were stolen in Paris last year. Jack added it all up, Kit Katz, Monets, Walnuts, maple syrup, |
| 3:08.6 | crown jewels? Somewhere out there, one guy's living his best life. Besties, in this economy, |
| 3:14.5 | theft inflation, it is real. Hotest trade of 2026. It's a truck, a museum, and a five-minute |
