Full Episode
This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday, T-Boy Tuesday, December 17th. 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, we know what you're thinking. Why is Jack podcasting with Tyra Banks? over here. Well, I am not the America's Top Model Tyra Banks. I'm just wearing our T-Boy merch on the podcast.
Our holiday merch collection shipped yesterday. So if you order T-Boy holiday merch, it'll arrive at your door in a few days. If you didn't order that merch, we have good news for you. We have this merch available to buy right now. That's right. Our essentials collection is still available at tboypod.com slash shop. How does this look, Jack? How do I look like this? Is this good?
Is this a good look for me? You're a tiger. You're a tiger. If you order the hat, Nick will never do a feline impression ever again on the show. Go to tboypod.com slash shop. Jack, three stories for today's show. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, Crumble Cookies is now in all 50 states. Wow. They got the fastest growing food chain thanks to a new business model.
Jack and I call it B to A, business to algorithms. For our second story, there's a drone mystery in the skies above New Jersey that everyone is freaking out. So Jack and I found three drone stocks. That's right, drone stocks. And they're flying too. And our third and final story. For the first time ever, the Waymo RoboTaxi just passed Lyft in the city of San Francisco.
Sit down, stand up, and hail a RoboCab again because Waymo is beating Lyft because money is a moat. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories... I mean, does it get any better than that? Fantastic mix of stories today, Jack. Yesterday, we asked you our weekly T-Boy trivia question. What candy was invented as an anti-cigarette product? What sweet was started to help you stop smoking?
Well, the answer, Yetis, is the Pez. Pez candy. You pop it out of a tiny tube and it was meant to make you stop smoking. That's right. The candy that comes out of Batman's mouth. Yes, it was inspired by smoking. That wild Pez story is the latest episode of our weekly show, The Best Idea Yet. The Best Idea Yet. The untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with.
But Jack, could you sprinkle on some context for our buddies over at Pez? Pez is 100 years old. It is. But they still sell 75 million Pez containers every single day. And the Pez candies, yeah, they still taste like chalk. And yet few know that Pez actually began as an anti-cigarette device. Get this, instead of reaching for a cigarette, Pez wanted to offer you a sweet instead.
They even made a Pez dispenser that looks just like a lighter. Now that I see it, Jack, I can't unsee it. And even fewer know about the Pez Outlaw. The Pez Outlaw, a law-breaking, Pez-loving citizen outlaw who almost took down the entire company. So later today, after this T-Boy episode, check out our weekly deep dive show, The Best Idea Yet. The Best Idea Yet. New episodes drop every Tuesday.
We got a link in the episode description. Because Pez changed candy forever. Even though Pez was never meant to be a candy. So tap the link in our episode description and check out The Best Idea Yet. Because Pez is simply the best idea yet. But today's show, Tyra Banks? Yeah. It looks better than your silhouette. Oh, today's show looks wonderful. Don't do a feline impression.
