This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Tuesday, T-Boy Tuesday, April 8th, 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 man, I picked a bad week for this colonoscopy, Jack. It's Thursday, right? I know. I think the stock market's getting a colonoscopy right now.
Oh, I hope you don't have to liquidate stocks to pay for it, do you? I don't have to liquidate stocks, but I feel like the whole stock market system is getting cleaned out too. It wasn't Liberation Day. It was Liquidation Day. If you know, you know. Jack, three stories for today's show. What do we got on the team, boy?
For our first story, with stocks down 17% from their all-time highs, record numbers are asking, should I buy the dip? So to answer that question, we're going to think of the stock market like a time machine. For our second story, it's Artipop. Artipop just unveiled a $3,800 baby carrier. A baby carrier because the best status symbols are actually status subtles.
And our third and final story, Land Rover and Jaguar are pausing car shipments to the United States because of the tariffs. But Ford is doing the opposite. They're giving everyone the old employee discount. If you need a new car, we'll explain why now is the time. That's right. A value meal SUV. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories.
Whoa, fantastic mix of stories for a T-Boy Tuesday check. Yesterday, we asked you a trivia question. Yes, we did. What candy originally took 27 hours to make each and every one of them? Well, the answer... is Peeps. It's Peeps. Peeps, the little squishy sugar candy that caused your first cavity. You haven't had a cavity though, have you? I've never had a cavity. I've had a lot of Peeps.
I've had a lot of Peeps, Jack. For years, Peeps were actually handmade by a group of old German women in Pennsylvania, Dutch country, taking 27 hours to craft each and every one of them. But here's the wildest part. Peeps were a secret product only known by the locals.
That's right. Peeps were a secret mystery.
But in the last 75 years, they went from mystery backroom artisan projects into the largest marshmallow manufacturer in the world. And nothing owns a particular holiday like Peeps owns Easter. Spring, like they say, Jack. April showers bring Peeps towers. Odds are, statistically speaking, this is the one month of the year you're going to eat a peep.
But Jack and I bet you got no idea how the world's biggest little marshmallow actually came to be. So yetis, check out the latest episode of our weekly show, The Best Idea Yet. The untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with. We'll tell you all about the secret handmade Peeps factory that was employing only German grandmas. And how Peeps growth hacked an entire calendar month.
