Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy. Tuesday, November 19th. And today's pod, out of all the pods we've ever done, is the best one yet. It's a T-Boy. Here's the top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Jack, everybody is staring at me. I know. I know. Because I'm wearing head-to-toe T-Boy merch. The sweatsuit looks amazing. People keep touching me.
They're not touching you. Yeah, they're touching it because it's puff print. They're touching my chest. It's crazy. Yetis, we're actually giving away a full set of our new holiday merch. You could win an entire kit for free of our T-Boy merch outfit. This thing's wild. Just go to our Instagram at tboypod to learn more. The best merch we've ever done. Jack, three stories for today's pod.
What do we got on the T-Boy?
For our first story, YouTube just passed a major milestone. YouTube is now number one in podcasting with 31% of the market.
Besties, if you don't get your pods on YouTube, the reason is your age. And we'll explain more. For our second story, it's Dippin' Dots. The self-proclaimed ice cream of the future just had its second scientific breakthrough. Because Dippin' Dots solved the biggest problem, the coldest problem, in the freezer.
And our third and final story is Northwestern University. They're building a stadium, a football stadium, with a strange business twist.
Get this. This is the most expensive stadium in college sports history. But it's also the smallest stadium in college sports. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories. Jack, love the mix for T-Boy Tuesday. Nick and I are not in your closet, but we know what's in your closet. Everyone, all of you, each single one of us, except for me, has a pair of jeans.
And odds are the jeans you own are Levi's jeans. Because Levi Strauss Incorporated invented the blue jeans. Yetis, we just dropped the sixth episode of our new weekly show, The Best Idea Yet. The Best Idea Yet. The untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with. And this week's episode is all about Levi's jeans. Specifically, the OG 501 version.
And Jack, why are we focusing specifically on the Levi's 501s? Because they're the most popular jeans ever created. But yetis, these blue jeans, the Levi's 501s, they actually have the most unfashionable history you could ever imagine. Because the 501s were invented during the gold rush in the 1870s for gold miners.
