This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Tuesday, T-Boy. Tuesday, May 6th. 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. Yetis, in case you missed it yesterday, mark your calendars. We announced our next city for the T-Boy live show. What do we got, Jack? On July 23rd, Nick and I are going to record this podcast live. Oh, yeah.
From the Vic Theater in Chicago. Oh. Oh boy, 1,000 seats. There you go, Jack. There you go. Tickets drop tomorrow. Follow us at T-Boy Pod on Instagram for the link.
If you're not in Chicago, fly into Chicago and pull off some logistics.
You're going to love this live show. But Jack, three stories for today's pod. What do we got on the T-Boy? For our first story, Hollywood was just terrified. Oh boy. All movies must now be made in America or else pay a 100% tax. So we are turning our spotlight on the first ever digital tariff, the Tom Hanks tariff. For our second story, Skechers was just acquired for $9 billion.
Skechers is the third biggest shoe brand on earth. And why is that, Jack? There are more retired athletes than there are athletes. What are we going to do with cleats? Honestly, what are we going to do with cleats? I haven't bought cleats since I was 21 years old. Skechers is the only shoe company that gets that. Third and final story. What do we got, Jack?
Over the weekend, Warren Buffett announced that he is retiring from Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year. So Jack and I found the secret sauce to the world's greatest investor. Get this. It's not calculations. It's culture. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa, what a mix of stories, Jack.
