What’s the quick intro and vibe for today’s episode?
This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, September 28th. 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. Oh, San Francisco, you looked fantastic last week. So our live show on Wednesday night ended at 9:45 local time. It was a long one. Nick and I did not leave the theater until 11:30 because we spent all that time giving You hugs. We were over the hug quota. Yeah. We actually stayed, we stay to hang out with you until the theater kicks us out, which they politely did, by the way. And I feel like a father right now because I went through the photography the next morning and I posted at T-BoyPod on Instagram a carousel of photos that I am just ridiculously proud of with you, Nick.
Honestly, this is the best photos we've ever taken. Oh, and Jack, do you see what I'm wearing right now? Do you see what this is? Oh, yeah. So, one fan of the show, 3D printed. These like epic bling necklaces, which Nick is displaying on YouTube and Apple video right now. Straight up wrapper necklaces with T-Boy on them. I'm wearing it right now. It's such a fun time. Nick and I got to the after party just before the bar closed. It was so much fun hanging out with you. But in the meantime, Yetis, in addition to that live show, we've got three fantastic stories for today's T-Boy. Jack, what do we got in a regular programming? For our first story. 25,000 people are on the wait list for Neko's body scanner, which was invented by the Spotify founder.
Because the coolest club in New York is actually a $7 billion body scanning machine. For our second story, last week Meta launched a cuddly little AI charm and a new business model. Because Zuck found his version of Apple's app tax and a new fashion to go with it. And our third and final story: Estee Lauder's hottest brand is Lalapo. If this If the podcast smelled like Lalava, you'd be romantically attracted to it. Yes, but Lalavo's most successful scent is the one they threw in the garbage. But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories. Love the mix on the Monday back, Jack. Marijuana. Cuban cigars. Not FDA approved Korean skin creams. Besties, those are the top smuggled items into the United States.
But there's a new topper of that list. French, full fat. Butter. Not possible. French butter has become such a specific status souvenir that American tourists are turning their suitcases into makeshift refrigerators. It's the great butter bootleg. It's a full fat flight, you hope doesn't become messy margarine jack. No Nick, I'm gonna spread on some context right now. Spread it on real smooth. At 82% fat, French butter is even fatter than Vermont butter. Brand like Lemunia. Apparently, cabot is not the cream of the crop anymore. No, no, no, no, no. Those are the Mount Rushmore butters. And with American travel to Europe at all-time highs, French butter sales are also now at all-time highs. French butter is selling so fast it's melting.
According to the journal, some French butter is selling for twenty dollars a stick over in Paris. And one French store now sells three bars of butter every single minute. They know their client, don't they, Jack? American tourists. So that store set up vacuum machines to seal your butter before your flight. And here's how you smuggle it home: you freeze the butter the night before in that vacuum-sealed package. And pro tip: you sandwich that frozen butter between two ice packs and then sandwich that to be a little bit more than the floor. Close. Barely all that insulation keeps it cold for the light of the flight. But then you gotta check your luggage and pray, Jack. Che. Pray that your butter arrives home without caramelizing the entire suitcase.
Or the Department of Homeland Security doesn't throw you in jail. So to all the eddies right now, deep freezing the suitcases at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
