Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, December 9th. 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. How was the restaurant? Did you guys eat something new on the menu again? Oh, at Electra's? Yeah. Did you get the whole menu? Dude, we're only like halfway through. I told you the babysitters have fallen through.
But this weekend I got steak frites. It was good. Medium rare. Take it any day. Jack, three stories for today's team boy. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, Lululemon stock jumped 19% on Friday, all because of one single word. Newness. Lululemon is obsessed with newness. And so are we now. For our second story, it's Shaboosie's A Bar Song.
That song is tied for the longest streak ever at number one on the music charts. But Chibuzi's greatest hit is really a business lesson on breaking genres. And our third and final story. Google just unveiled its most powerful AI product yet, a weather forecaster. Google just became the world's most powerful weather fortune teller. Hey, Roker, you're up.
But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories to kick off the week. Love the mix, Jack. For four years now, we've heard rumors that TikTok might be getting banned someday. Warning, yetis, that day is January 19th. Because here's the news. On Friday, the U.S. Federal Appeals Court ruled that Congress can ban TikTok. Witches!
huge because Congress already voted to ban TikTok and President Biden, he already signed the ban of TikTok. It's a law that was passed last year. TikTok must sell away from its Chinese ownership by January 19th or the app is banned nationwide. So now that TikTok has lost the appeal, it is final. It is official. TikTok will be banned. So unless something crazy happens, which is possible.
Yeah, it happens. These things happen. On January 19th, the day before the presidential inauguration, there will be no more TikTok in America. We repeat, hashtag the country's most popular app will be blocked. Pour one out for Addison Rae. The only way you're going to be going viral, besties, is in a hospital. But we actually have a big theory about the impact of the TikTok ban.
Jack and I were talking over the weekend and we have got a big, bold, beautiful, bullish theory about the TikTok ban. Here it is. Banning TikTok may actually be the most powerful boost for our economy ever. Let us think about how much time we're all going to get back if TikTok is banned. This could be a huge productivity unlock.
I mean, Jack, you can't drive, you can't work, you can't hammer, you can't sew. You can't even whip up a takeaway while you're scrolling on TikTok. If there's no TikTok, that's good for Netflix's business. And if there's no TikTok, that's good for your boss's business. Because you'll probably finish more TPS reports if TikTok isn't tempting you.
So banning TikTok would be like an economic stimulus program. Hey, Jerry Powell, forget lower interest rates. This TikTok ban, it's an economic boost. So Yetis, unless the Supreme Court intervenes, TikTok will be banned on January 19th. And if stocks hit all-time highs next month, it'll be because of Nick and Jack's TikTok ban boom theory. Let us know what you think in the comments.
