This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy. Tuesday, November 26th. 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. Yeah, it is. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, stocks are up. But if you celebrate Thanksgiving, then stocks are down. I feel like we need to address this.
Everyone has one friend who's mispronouncing Thanksgiving, right? No. What are you talking about? You know the Thanksgiving people? The Thanksgiving people? Not Thanksgiving people. The Thanksgiving people. They're emphasizing the thanks? We have to stop ignoring it. What are you doing for Thanksgiving, by the way? Where are you going to be?
I'm headed down to the chalet at the mountains right at Triggerbush. They're opening up the resort, so I'm going to get my first runs in. I hope you get some good snowing, Jack. Nick, we're going to have a fire going the whole time. What about you? In New York City right now, and everyone here looks beautiful.
Then we're heading to Nantucket, and I heard the president's going to be there, so the aerospace is locked down. TSA might not even let you on the island. Or should I say, Secret Service. In the meantime, Yetis, we are so thankful for you that we whipped up three fantastic stories. What do we got, Jack?
For our first story, 25 years ago, Martha Stewart took her company public to become the first ever self-made American woman billionaire. And this year, Netflix did a documentary on Martha Stewart, and we watched it all weekend long. And we found the best business advice that she gave in prison. In prison. Second story, what do we got, Jack?
For our second story, stocks jumped to fresh all-time highs Monday on news that Scott Besant will run Treasury. Wall Street loves this guy, and it's all thanks to his 3-3-3-3-3-3 policy. And our third and final story. Thanksgiving is the day when rich people get together with family and talk about money.
So Jack and I got the best money topics for you to share with your family because we know exactly what you should talk about. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories, Jack, and nobody is doing that mix of stories this week. Love this mix. Today, the latest episode of our new show dropped, and it's all about Jacuzzi.
Jacuzzi, because the Jacuzzi hot tub is actually the wildest story we had ever heard. Get this. Jacuzzi was invented by seven brothers. Seven Italian immigrant brothers in California. Oh, and Jack, their name wasn't even Jacuzzi until Ellis Island when it got misspelled. The elder Jacuzzi actually started the company by building airplanes.
But then began a series of business pivots beginning with airplanes. Pivot! They pivoted from propellers to pools to create the first ever hot tub. And they did it to save their two-year-old son's life. No joke, true story. It's an emotional, touching story.
