What are the top business stories of the day?
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, ceviche Wednesday, December 18th, 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. Yeti is one reason we lost our voices last week. What was it, Jack? The Knicks game in J.G. Mellon. Also, we were preparing bonus podcasts for the holidays for you, the besties out there. True.
We're about to take a couple weeks of vacation, but we have six bonus episodes we have prepared. And one of them that we prepared is the best one yet of the best ones yet. But we need your help to create that special episode. Yes, we do. We need you to tell us your favorite T-Boy stories of 2024. Was it the can of babes? Was it the Costco Kirkland condos? Was it our live show in New York? Maybe.
Maybe. It was a cookie crisp. Cookie crisp. My voice is back, baby. Oh, yes, it is. So we just posted on Instagram and we would like you to comment with your picks of best stories at T-Boy Pod. Help us pick the best mix yet on Instagram by telling us your favorite T-Boy story of the year. But in the meantime, today's show is the best one we've ever done. Jack, three stories for today's show.
What do we got on the pod? For our first story, sorry, Barbie, but Mattel's top toy this year is Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels, their sales are up 14% because Hot Wheels pumped the brakes on inflation. For our second story, for the first time ever, a stegosaurus is going public today. That's right. True story. A dino IPO.
So Jack and I jumped into the dinosaur stock that was 250 million years in the making, or billion. It's million, I think. It is million. We can round up on that. For our third and final story, Broadcom just passed a $1 trillion valuation. It's the eighth American big tech company to hit that trillion dollar milestone. So Jack and I need to discuss the new acronym on Wall Street. Here it is.
Batman. The Batman stocks. It's a real thing. And Batman stocks. It's happening. This is Jack. I own one Batman stock and I wish I owned all eight. It's hard not to be bullish on Batman, Jack. But yet it is before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix for Ceviche Wednesday. Love the mix. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. But Jack, is that open fire burning with chestnut tree wood?
Because yetis, you may not realize it, but every flame of every fire differs depending on the wood that's being burned. The flame, the shape, the aroma, the crackle, those are the variables of classic firewood. Those are the fire fundamentals because not all fires are created equal. And it turns out there's always money in the fire shed. Get this, Yetis.
Startups are now selling different types of firewoods to give you a different fire effect in your fireplace. That's why we love capitalism. You can even make a market out of a fireplace, Jet. So naturally, Nick and I dove in T-boy style to the fancy firewood industry. Hardwoods like oak, they burn slower. But softwoods like pine, they burn quicker.
Cherrywood burns quieter, while sprucewood burns louder. If you're cooking a romantic meal for two, applewood is going to waft out scents of apple. Now, Jack, if you're hosting a party for 12, then hickorywood is going to smell like nostalgia. This is Jack. I just bought a cord of firewood for $350. I think it was a good deal, but I actually don't know what kind of wood it was. This is Nick.
