This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, September 10th, and today's pod is the best one yet, and this is a T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Yeti stocks are down because oil prices are up. But we've got good news for you. Tickets are still available for our San Francisco live show. Two weeks from yesterday, Wednesday, September 23rd. Grab your tickets while you still can. Can't wait to see you then. We got a link in the show notes. But we also have three fantastic stories for the coolest show on capitalism. Jack, what do we got in today's Tea Boy? For our first story, open sesame. After more than six years of development, Apple has a foldable phone. The $2,000 iPhone Duo.
It is Tim Cook's gift to his new CEO. For our second story, it's Christian Dior. Because they're not just a fashion brand anymore. They're now a spa, a yoga studio, and a massage chain. But Christian Dior's spas have one particular focus. Rich moms on maternity leave. And our third and final story. OpenAI solved an unsolvable math question by upstreaming a human. Oh boy, when you upload something to AI Yetis, will AI use your work against you? But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, what a mix of stories. Best mix for the new Friday Jack. The NFL's first football game ever played in Australia is tonight, the Rams versus the 49ers. Which is also the longest distance ever traveled for a professional football game.
What is the new Apple iFold and why is it a lesson in product launches?
But tonight's football game is actually a grand experiment in how to handle jet lag. Because the two teams are both traveling from California. But they have two very different strategies for dealing with the time zone difference. Jack, let's sprinkle on some context. There is no tire like jet lag tired, is there, man? It's the biggest debate in every time zone spanning trip you've ever taken. How to handle the jet lag. Honey, should we sleep on the plane or not sleep at all? Or nap when we arrive, but then stay up through the rest of the night like it was a regular day? Answer, none of the above. But for tonight's game, the San Francisco 49ers flew to Australia one week early. It's a 17-hour time difference, so they got seven days to acclimate.
Oh, but the Los Angeles Rams did the opposite, right, Jack? They flew in just one day before the game. You see, the Rams' strategy is to avoid jet lag altogether by never adjusting at all. So they're playing their first game of the season in Australia, but they're doing it on California time. And get this, the Rams, yeah, they've ignored time zones and defied jet lag before, haven't they, man? In London last year, the Rams also showed up just 24 hours before kickoff. How did they do in that game, Jack? It was great. They won 35-7, although it was the Jaguars. And then they immediately flew home. They didn't have time to take pictures of Big Ben. That's how quick it was. So, besties, let us know which method you think is better for managing jet lag.
The 49er strategy of basically moving there. Or the Ram strategy of just showing up, doing the thing, and getting out of there. One week there or one day there. Who you got? Let us know in the comments. Vegas left, East Canes on three. Vegas left, East Canes on three. Hut, hut. Let's enter three stories.
Ha!
15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in a dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50%, that's a fat tip. T-Boy City on your at list. If you know, you know, cause we ready to go. We can't wait no more, so just start the show. For
our first story,
Apple just unveiled the Duo, their first foldable iPhone for $2,000. We call it the iFold. Apple's Duo is really, though, a $2,000 inheritance from Tim Cook to John Ternes. Oh, yeah. While Jack and I were flying back from Texas yesterday in the plane, we were watching the Wednesday product event that started without a bang. Yeah, because John Ternes took the stage for the first time as Apple CEO, but it actually wasn't a stage.
