this is nick this is jack it's friday the real friday december 13th 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 yet he's unfortunately we left something on the subway what do we leave jack Full disclosure. Our voices. We left our voices on the subway. We're both feeling a little under the weather.
Honestly, we were yelling across the bar at J.G. Mellon to get burgers. And then we were yelling at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks. And then we met Bobby Flay, so we were kind of having a big conversation with Bobby Flay. Yeah, we were also both sucking down cough drops. We both got a throaty situation. And we recorded two podcasts, six hours yesterday.
It's been a hell of a 72 hours, but we might need some social distancing from each other. Honestly, glad I lost the voice. It was so much fun, Jack. We still got a T-boy. Yeah, it is.
Three stories for today's T-boy. What do we got on the pod, Jack?
For our first story, it's chess. Yesterday, a new chess world champion was crowned. But at the same time, the best chess player is disrupting the 1,500-year-old game. For our second story, it's Netflix. Netflix has the most powerful work perk we've ever heard of. True story. Unlimited parental leave for the baby's first year. So Jack and I calculated the ROI on the ultimate work perk.
And our third and final story, Time Magazine just named the CEO of the year. She's the tech CEO who made her stock grow 50 times larger. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix, Jack. I'm going an octave lower. Fantastic. Fantastic mix. The newest fast food chain in America is not Bobby Flay approved.
It is not Taco Bell. It's Taco Bar.
That's right. There is a new bar by Taco Bell. True story. Taco Bell just launched a non-alcoholic bar for Gen Z. They're serving milkshakes, coffees, and dirty sodas. Hey, bartender, I'll take a Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Mocktail. On the rocks. Here's the context, guys. Please, Jack. The name of this new Taco Bell concept store is the Live Moss Cafe.
Now, Jack, they say it's a cafe, but we noticed the whole menu is drinks. Tropical Punch Rockstar Refresca? What's that? That's a dance floor drink, not a breakfast drink. I mean, honestly, Taco Bell's new bar, it's like a Starbucks and a Jamba Juice had a highly caloric baby. That was raised in Cabo San Lucas. So we got to ask, why is Taco Bell trading solids for liquids?
