This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday the real Friday. February 20th. 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, the envelope, please. Yetis, we have chosen the winners for our T-boy itinerary sweepstakes for our Austin live show. Of the 15 barbecue joints you recommended,

we chose one that we're going to on Tuesday night. And of the thousand workouts you suggested,

we selected one for Wednesday morning before the show. We've reached out to the Yetis who recommended

them, and we want you to join us. So check your DMs or check the comment on Spotify.

We got your back.

We can't wait to see you there. But in the meantime, Jack, we got three fantastic stories for today's

pod or what do we got on the T-boy? For our first story, while Nike's been marketing over at the

Milan Olympics, New Balance is selling in record numbers back in Boston. New Balance made nine billion

bucks and it's all thanks to a plate of scrambled eggs.

For our second story, ring camera is a tool for mass surveillance? Get this, Amazon lost

$250 billion this month because of that question and one cute puppy commercial. And our third

and final story. The Wall Street Journal just came out and said that billionaire taxes aren't a political issue. They're an economic one. So Jack and I are jumping in T-boy style to Zuckerberg's taxes because Zuck's taxes are tiny. But yet he's before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa, I mean, what a mix to go into the weekend with no one else doing the mix, Jack. Nick, it's Friday the real Friday. What's the hottest place to go out in New York City? I mean, is it employees only? Is it Feeves? Is it Dorians? Is it Dorsey? Nope. If you bring the right business card, Jack. The coolest bar in NYC is at JPM. Specifically, the bar inside the new $3 billion JPMorgan office tower. The bar in this tower is called Morgans. It's on the 13th floor, but the line to get in goes all the way down to the 10th. We repeat, America's biggest bank is now running its most exclusive bar. It's a true story. It's a British pub theme, and the Guinness in there flows like spreadsheets. But, Jack, if you asked to split the G, they're going to think you're referring to a thousand bucks over there. You bet your card better be platinum. I got fish and chips for the mergers and acquisitions. Bankers and mash for the sales and trading over here. But the problem is that America's biggest bank miscalculated the demand for this bar. Because there are only 55 seats for the building's

10,000 workers. It's like some intern discounted the wrong cocktail cash flow. I mean, some

analyst is definitely going to work till 2 a.m. on this one, Jack. So, J.P. Morgan's internal

office bar is the hardest table in New York. Even if you work at J.B. Morgan, besties, a standard reservation, it's free. But instant reservation? It costs 5% of your tab or 25 bucks, whichever is greater. Remember, this is a bank. Oh, and if you try paying with your city card, they're going to put you in a doggie bag. Oh, Sapphire or bust. You hear what Jamie Diamond said on the last earnings call, Jack. When you're in the club, we're all fam.

Jack, what's hit on three stories. Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea that caused a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is a norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice.

50% that's a fat tip.

Tea Boy City on your at list.

If you know, you know, because we're ready to go.
