This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, Sarique Wednesday, December 3rd, and 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. But first, congratulations to everyone just named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list yesterday. Nick and I were on the list. Yeah, it was eight years ago. We turned 30. Well, we're 37 now, so yeah, eight years ago. It was an honor. Now, if you are on the Forbes 30 under 30 list, there is a 50% chance you become successful. And a 50% chance you go to jail. Yeah, yeah, the odds are not in your favor. All right, dude, the humble brags over. Let's move on to the show. Everyone on the list this year, try not to commit a financial felony. Jack, three stories for today's team boy. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, Costco just took on the biggest risk in business today. It has sued President Donald Trump. It's Costco's Kirkland versus Trump's tariffs in a battle in federal court.

0:57.1

For our second story, Estée Lauder just invented an AI chatbot that sells you twice as much perfume as you otherwise would have bought.

1:05.6

Besties, this is huge. This perfume bot is the first AI with an R-O-I.

1:10.5

And our third and final story.

1:12.5

Michael Dell is giving $6 billion directly to 25 million American kids.

1:18.3

I'd press my Cheching button, but I can't find a check.

1:20.9

Every American child nine years or younger is about to get a brokerage account with a whole bunch of mullah.

1:26.1

But yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories,

1:28.7

fantastic mix of stories for the T-Boy Wednesday, Jack.

1:32.9

As hyped to the last couple days, we have an announcement today.

1:36.8

Oh, there's a gift we've been working on for months.

1:39.4

We wrapped it up and we are ready to open it.

1:41.8

Here it is.

1:42.4

Our very first live podcast tour nationwide in

1:48.2

26. The T-Boy Live podcast tour nationwide. Next year, Besties, we're calling it our IPO tour.

1:57.5

Now, we should sprinkle on some context. We've done live shows before in San Francisco,

2:02.2

New York, Seattle, and Chicago. They're fantastic. They feel like rock shows of business news.

2:07.0

The vibes are at an all-time high every single time. But Jack and I noticed that the Gettys were

2:12.2

flying in to see our one-off shows. From all across the country, in fact, some of you flew in from

2:17.4

different countries to see us at past live shows. So next year, we are going to reduce your travel time by coming closer to you. Yeah, we'll come to you this time. Seven cities throughout the year, you can see us perform a live podcast, interview a guest live, and much more. Hey, we did a T-Boy earnings report live in Chicago. That was wild.

2:34.5

Took questions from the audience.

2:35.5

I think we're going to do that at each show. But Jack, I got to ask, well, I already know the answer. But why are we calling at the IPO tour? Because it's our in-person offering. I-P-O. And today, besties, we're announcing our first four cities. Austin, Texas on February 25th. Arlington, Virginia on March 11th.
