Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy. Tuesday, December 3rd. 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. But first, a happy National Rocky Balboa Day to all those who celebrated. Rocky Fest is happening in Philadelphia right now, where all the city of brotherly love is giving thanks to their fictional native son.
Apparently all the schools in Rittenhouse Square have the day off, Jack. Not too shabby. If I could change, and you could change, everyone could change.
We got three fantastic stories for you, Dad Jack. Three stories. What do we got on the pod, man?
For our first story, Moana 2 just had the biggest Thanksgiving weekend in movie history by a nautical mile. So we'll tell you how Moana strategically beat Frozen. For our second story, it's the fastest growing grocery chain in the country. It's not Trader Joe's, Costco, or Erewhon. It's Aldi. It's Aldi. Aldi became number one by using a German philosophy. And our third and final story.
Remember when people used to set their phone's ringtone to their favorite music? Well, that's having a major comeback right now. Ringtones, they are back because people don't buy products, people buy memories. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories and try to get Nick to do another language accent thing. I don't know, I just do the rocky one. I like the rocky one.
You did the German one too. Yeah, I tried to do both, Jack. Yetis, yesterday we asked you our weekly trivia question. Who is the number one inventor that Steve Jobs looked up to? Who was Steve Jobs' role model? What product did Steve Jobs idolize? The answer is the Polaroid camera. The Polaroid and Edwin Land, the inventor of that Polaroid camera.
Yetis, we just dropped the seventh episode of our weekly show, The Best Idea Yet. The untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with. And this week's episode is the Polaroid camera. Because Polaroid packed an entire darkroom into a single handheld camera. We'll tell you in this wild episode how Edwin Land got the idea for the Polaroid camera after a conversation with his daughter.
Who was three years old. And how Edwin Land took the first selfie ever, like 100 years ago. With a Polaroid camera. And how no matter what OutKast says, you should never, ever, ever, ever, ever... Shake it like a Polaroid picture. So later today, after this episode, check out our new deep dive show, The Best Idea Yet.
Jack and I dropped the link in this episode description because the Polaroid camera is the best idea yet. But Jack, today's T-boy is a fantastic show. We got three wonderful stories. How about we hit the pod, man? Adrian! Let's do it. Yeah, we got it.
