This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy, Tuesday, March 10th. 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. Oh, baby. Arriving today in lovely D.C. I got a red eye right after this recording, Jack. I know. But we have one question for you before tomorrow's live show in Arlington, Virginia. And here it is. Do you have the best fact yet about our nation's capital? If you do, and you're coming to our live show tomorrow, fill out the form in this episode description. Yeah, you want to tell them why, Jack, this is a good surprise. We want to bring you up on stage to deliver it yourself. My check, my check, you are going to give the best fact yet to the live show. Do we have any more tickets available, Nick? We got like a few more tickets available, so this is like last chances, baby. Okay, it's a total last chance situation. In the meantime, though, Jack and I whipped up three fantastic pop-biz stories for today's pod. Jack, what do we got on the show? For our first story, Live Nation and Ticketmaster just settled the most controversial case in music since Beethoven's 9th.

Which means Live Nation could become the next Google.

For our second story, JFK Jr. So hot right now.

So hot right now. So is Calvin Klein, the brand he and his wife loved.

Caroline Beset Kennedy is given Calvin Klein a gift that their marketing team could only dream for.

And our third and final story, it's The Crude Awakening, Part 2.

Oil prices popped up to 117 a barrel yesterday before plummeting to 85.

Meanwhile, one freaky word from the 1970s just entered the economic chat, and what is it, Jack? Stagglation. I thought it was Bellbott. All right, we'll go with Stagflation. But yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, love the mix of stories for the T-Boy Tuesday, Jack. Shakespeare once asked, what's in a name?

Well, one stock just asked, what's in my name?

Because beyond meat, the very struggling plant-based meat business just changed its name officially.

And Jack and I would like to speak to a manager, please.

Because Beyond Meat is now Beyond the Plant Protein Company. I'm sorry, Jack, that's not a name. That's a sentence. We literally had to put a comma in there for it to make sense. Besties, the only company we could find with a longer name was, what was it, Jack? Michael Scott Paper Company. Beyond Meat. They just went from two words to five. It's not a sentence. It's actually a paragraph. Beyond meat, you went too beyond.

Might want to stay within next time.

Now, in the branding, we should point out that Beyond Meat is just going to call themselves

Beyond.

So marketing-wise, they're pulling a Justin Timberlake and dropping the the.

But on Wall Street, they dropped the meat and then added the plant-based protein company

to the name. No, just plant protein company. So basically they're trying to capitalize on the protein maxing trend. Which their product was already doing, but now they're making it super duper clear. Yeah, full disclosure, still a shareholder here or so whatever, guys, if it works, roll with it. But if you could rename Beyond Meat, if you were in charge, what would you call it? Oh, that's our question for T-Boy Tuesday.

What would you name Beyond Meat if you named it from scratch?

Again, extra bonus points if you used the word within.

Drop it in the comments. Jack and I went to three stories.

Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm.
