| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday the new Friday. December 4th. 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, Yettys, thank you for all the love for our live tour launch yesterday. Austin, Texas, Washington, D.C., New York, New York, and Los Angeles. |
| 0:21.2 | Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Oh, mark your calendars. Tickets on sale tomorrow. We got a link in this episode description to grab them. Next spring, we're going to announce the rest of the IPO tour, and it's going to be legendary. Okay, but in the meantime, Jack, we've got three fantastic stories for today's show. What do we got on the T-Boy? For our first story, |
| 0:37.7 | Sam Alman just sent a company-wide code red emergency at OpenAI. So we'll explain how the AI |
| 0:43.5 | is starting to look like a Mario Kart race. For our second story, American Eagle stock surged |
| 0:48.6 | 15% yesterday, thanks to Sidney, Travis Kelsey, and Martha Stewart. But the real reason American Eagle is soaring? |
| 0:55.8 | It's hashtag not AI. |
| 0:58.2 | And our third and final story, if you live in San Francisco, Austin, Atlanta, or Phoenix, |
| 1:03.2 | have you noticed that the robotaxies have started driving more aggressively? |
| 1:06.8 | Uh, yeah, Waymo just confirmed it's true. |
| 1:09.3 | A software update that Jack and I call crazy New York City taxi mode. But Yeties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. |
| 1:17.3 | Whoa, I'm walking here. Where you going, Waymo? Your Instagram is probably still flooded by your friend's Spotify screenshots. That's right, a happy Spotify rap season to all those who celebrate. |
| 1:28.8 | Spotify rap told me that my music taste is that of a 76 year old. Jack, Spotify |
| 1:33.4 | Rap told me that I'm in the top 1% of listeners for both Baby Shark and Sabrina Carpenter. |
| 1:38.3 | Okay, so Spotify thinks I'm very old and you're ridiculously young. Yeah, we got to speak to a manager. |
| 1:44.0 | But Yeties, did you know |
| 1:45.0 | that when Spotify Rapp launched back in 2015, it was actually an intern's idea? And now every media |
| 1:51.1 | CEO has stolen that intern's idea. YouTube, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Strava, they all do |
| 1:57.3 | their own version of year-in-re review. Basically, Spotify wrapped got sucked. |
| 2:01.8 | So, right now, we're going to do the same. |
| 2:04.2 | Yeah, let's do it. |
| 2:04.7 | The best one yet's Wall Street wrapped. |
| 2:07.2 | Yes, it's our year in review of the pop biz headlines. |
