This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, November 18th. 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, can we tell you why you look especially fantastic today? Because you're wearing T-boy merch. That's right, our T-Boy holiday merch store.
It just opened, the merch just dropped, and we're in the hat right now, Jack. We got a new T-Boy hoodie, a new sweatsuit, a new hat, a new tote bag, and all our best catchphrases in a sticker pack. The store is only open for a few more days before we cut off the pre-order. It's all on tboypod.com slash shop. You can buy it right now. The link to the store is in the episode description.
So besties, pause the pod, order some merch, and in the meantime, Jack... We've got three fantastic stories for today's show. What do we got, man? For our first story, did you know that no U.S. president has ever been an only child? We did not know that, so we jumped in T-boy style. Well, millennials are forming more only child families than ever.
So Jack and I got the wild data on the only child economy. For our second story, last week, Donald Trump announced his first cabinet picks, and each appointment moved the stock market. So we're breaking down Trump's cabinet ripple effects on the economy. And our third and final story is Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. Netflix just streamed their first live boxing match ever.
Netflix is pioneering a new sports business model, and we call it DTA, direct to athlete. If you know, you know. Whoa! But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I am so happy with this mix. Nobody's doing this mix. I love the mix, Jack. Yetis, if you're over 60, we know what you did yesterday. Because besties, you're probably hungover from a weekend of drinking at your kid's college.
Admit it. According to the Wall Street Journal, the number of parents partying on student campuses is way up. It's an all-time hijack. Fall weekend is the new parent party weekend. Every October or November, college students invite their folks to visit for parents weekend.
They watch a football game, you got a sorority brunch, and then one of the parents pulls you out of the dining hall and into a very expensive restaurant. Fire and ice at Middlebury. If you know, you know. But lately, parents aren't checking out the classes, the campus, or the quad, are they, Jack? Parents are pounding the punch in the frat house like it's 1982. Mom's doing jello shots.
Dad's hitting the beer pong at 10 a.m. Nick, who's next up on the flip cup table? Mrs. Thompson, you called dibs. You're off. Actually, Nick, Baker's dad bought the keg, so he has dibs all night. Okay, Baker's dad's on it. Yetis, the trendy new college drink this fall? No joke. What is it called, Jack? Strawberry dad-caritas and mamaritas. Pass the parental Palomas. I'm going to need six of them.
But Yetis, if a parent says to put the drink on their tab, are they referring to tuition? Jack, I don't think that's a write-off, is it, man? No, it's not. So Yetis, fall weekend college festivities, they've never looked older. And you don't have to worry about checking IDs this weekend either. Let us know if your parents partook in the festivities. We got a poll going on Spotify.
