This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, May 15th. And today's pod is the best one yet, and this is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Uh, yetis, we got a little surprise for you at the end of the show. Is someone gonna call in, Jack? We're gonna get our first ever live call-in. Hmm. Pretty exciting. 1-800-T-BOY-POD.
But Jack, three stories for today's T-Boy Fantastic Show. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, Airbnb has finally become an everything app. Because you can now Airbnb not just a house, you can Airbnb your hairstylist, a HIIT workout, or even a hibachi shift. For our second story, Boeing just received its biggest order ever. Qatar Airways is buying 210 Boeing jets.
One way to think about the current Middle East dealapalooza, this is like the NBA draft. And our third and final story is eToro. It's the first big IPO of the year, and the stock surged 40% yesterday. Because Kim Kardashian could be a stock trading influencer. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa, what a kickoff to the show. Love the mix today, Jack.
When it comes to pets, puppies get all the attention in this economy. Puppy. P-U-P-P-Y. People ultimately prioritize puppies. Yeah. Yeah, they do. But there's one pandemic pet whose sales are still surging. Here's a hint. It's green, it's cold, and it will take care of the fruit flies in your kitchen. Lizards. Yeah, lizards.
But yet it is during the pandemic, Americans began to appreciate the exotic power of these little dinosaurs. And since COVID-19. Sales have accelerated for reptiles like a gecko's tongue. Why? Basically TikTok and Instagram. Geckos owned the algorithm for some reason. The result today, 4 million American households own a reptile or an amphibian. That is an all-time high.
That's more than one out of every 100 U.S. households. has a reptile inside. According to Bloomberg Yeti's, food and supplies only for reptiles and amphibians are up 60% since 2019. That's faster growth than for cats, and your cat hates you. But what's the wildest part about this trend, Jack? The biggest reptile trend is luxury reptiles. That's right.
One man in Colorado breeds geckos for special looking features like stripes and bright colors. People are paying 50 grand for a designer gecko from this guy. That toad cost more than a Birkin bag. So yetis, remember this takeaway. Jack, what's our takeaway about reptiles? Nothing scales.
like scales jack let's hit our three stories 15 years before this song two boys from the northeast met in the dorm they had an idea to cause a cultural storm it's the best one yet but the best is a norm jack nick that's it i don't even think they need to practice 50 that's a fat tip t-boy city on your at list if you know you know because we're ready to go we can't wait no more so just start the show
First, a quick word from our sponsor. For our first story, Airbnb launched a complete app redesign. Get ready for massages, hairstylists, and hibachi chefs. But here's the big question. Is Airbnb becoming the everything app or is it having a midlife crisis? Yeti is Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb. He got more press on Tuesday than any non-scandal CEO in history.
