🔱 “HomerAI” — The Odyssey’s $2,000 dupe. Venmo’s secret suitor. Adult Happy Meals. +Messi’s meandering

0:28This is Nick. Let's record by the salty water. Great lady all week. So, Bessies, if you know who shucks the best oyster over here, send it our way for the weekend. And, Nick, my goal for this week is to read Moby Dick. I'm not going to finish it. There's no way I finish it. We may have to extend the trip. In the meantime, we got three fantastic stories for the funnest place in finance. Yeah, what do we got on today's pod? For our first story, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opened last night. It's the biggest movie of the year. It cost$250 million to make. But another Odyssey also premiered last night.

0:59but that one only cost$2 ,000. For our second story, PayPal got an acquisition offer from a startup. The owner of Venmo is up for sale. But we think there's another surprise suitor here, and that suitor is SpaceX. And our third and final story is$27 for a burger, fries, a cocktail, and a dice roll. Besties, that is the adult happy meal, and we bet you'll probably see one at a restaurant this weekend. Daddy needs a seven. I need this meal to be free, baby. Come on, sevens. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories. Perfect mix to go into a weekend. Celebrate the wins.

1:33The World Cup final is set for this Sunday in Not MetLife Stadium. Spain versus Argentina. La Rioja versus la Albiceleste. That's the most exotic thing you've ever said on the show. Take away! What do we got, Jack? No, Shakira is doing a Super Bowl-style halftime show for 30 minutes, by the way. No translator needed. Both teams speak Spanish. But it's not just the World Cup final. It's the final World Cup final for Lionel Messi, we think. But there's one weird thing that you'll notice while watching Messi this weekend. Why is this dude walking and standing around so much? Why is he not moving at all?

2:09Actually, Jack, the best soccer player on earth walks and stands more than he runs. Get this. According to a New York Times calculation, Messi walks for 63 % of the soccer game. Against England, Messi stood still for 25 % of the game. What is this, baseball? He's walking around the soccer pitch like a grandma who hasn't had her morning mate jack. 9 % of the games he jogs, and only 4 % of the World Cup games has he been running. Messi ain't moving. Now, you may be thinking, hey, he's a striker. Why run when the ball's on the whole other side of the pitch? Yeah, Mbappe and Holland, they do a lot of walking, too.

2:46Uh, yeah, but Messi walks more. He walks way more. Lionel Messi walks twice as much as the average World Cup footballer this year. That's right, Messi walks 63 % of the time, the number two walker in this World Cup, 10 percentage points behind that. And there is kind of a brilliant strategy here. Yes, there is, Jack. Messi strategically strolls to save his energy. He only sprints when a goal-scoring opportunity presents itself. He's like an alligator, most of the time doing nothing. But when there's an opportunity, that man is fierce. And Jack and I are thinking there is a career lesson here to Messi's mid-game meandering.

3:19Don't waste your resources going 100%, 100 % of the time. Best. He's had it all up and Messi scored eight goals in this World Cup. And yet he spent the vast majority of it trotting around like a turtle. So Jack, what's your takeaway for work? Don't bend it like Becca. Manage it like Messi. Never get up from your desk. Lollygag like Leonardo. Jack, let's do that three stories.

3:53Even 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.

4:07Start the show. First, a quick word from our sponsor.

6:28For our first story, Christopher Nolan's$250 million Odyssey premiered in theaters just last night. But the bigger story is that the same movie just got made by one guy for just$2 ,000. Ah, Yeti's The Odyssey. The epic story of a hungover dude on a boy's trip just trying to get home. Before his wife leaves him for some other dude who's trying to go to his home. Sounds like one-third of the bachelor party's out there. But that new movie, it isn't just epic. So are the numbers. The budget for this film is Christopher Nolan's largest ever. $250 million. Opening night IMAX tickets, they went for as much as$1 ,500 on eBay.

7:06So much cash being made by this film, I hope Homer gets some residual checks. Yeah, but Jack, the real hero right now, it isn't Achilles, it's IMAX. Because IMAX stock, which Christopher Nolan's obsessed with, is up 150 % in the last two years. Near an all-time high. Besties, this is the first ever movie that's been filmed entirely on 70mm IMAX film. Which means a lot if you're a film major. Even Zeus is impressed by that stat, Jack. But each IMAX camera actually weighs 300 pounds. Oh boy. It costs$1 million. Lift with your legs, not your back, and you're going to need a check. They hum so loudly, they had to invent a new version for the Odyssey.

7:44So when you add it up, besties, this Odyssey movie, it is like a 172-minute ad for Hollywood's OG tech company, IMAX. And despite IMAX costing twice as much as regular movie tickets, record numbers are leaving the couch in their living room to check out a film on IMAX. So while the rest of Hollywood is burning like Troy right now, IMAX is the Odysseus of the industry. And investors are being lured right now like a siren call. Penelope, she's bullish on this one. But besties, pause the pod because this is what Jack and I find fascinating about the new Odyssey. Christopher Nolan's movie isn't the only Odyssey in town this weekend.

8:20We found another Odyssey debuting at the same time, but instead of a$250 million budget, it's a$2 ,000 budget? The film is called Odysseus, The Fall, and it's made by one man and one computer, and that computer is AI. This AI Odyssey alt film, it's actually by Ash Kusha, an award-winning Tribeca Film Fest director. Mr. Kusha made a name for himself with a documentary this year about the Iranian government's crackdown on protesters in January. Jack, why is that an interesting detail to the story? Well, there's no footage of the unrest because the government shut off the internet and took people's phones.

8:54So he created the footage with AI. And that's why Hollywood wasn't mad that he used so much AI. And then he parlayed that fame into a production company that uses AI for this Odyssey movie. We watched the trailer. The script's not going to win an Oscar, Nick, and the vibe looks more video game. Yeah, for this new AI Odyssey, the burning Trojan horse, it's giving Grand Theft Auto 6, Jack. But if we didn't know the context behind this AI story, we would have seen the trailer and thought, oh, yeah, okay, this is a new two-hour Hollywood studio feature film. I mean, Jack, this Odyssey didn't need to hire Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, or her hubby.

9:29And it didn't need to drop a million bucks for each of the 300-pound IMAX cameras. Each of those cameras, by the way, probably have their own talent agent. So let's say this full-length AI film, it's only 1 % as good as the real Christopher Nolan version. But if it only cost 0.0008 % of the Christopher Nolan version, which it does, then maybe the math works? So Jack, tell us a tale, a tale of a takeaway for our buddies going to watch the Odyssey. To understand real ROI, study Homer. Yetis, there's one story in Homer's, oh by the way, spoilers on this one. It's like a 3 ,000 year old tale, so spoilers, they're coming.

10:10There is one story in Homer's Odyssey that's actually about the greatest ROI, the greatest return on investment in history. Calypso offers Odysseus immortality on one condition. He stays with her instead of going home. What an ROI, Jack. Odysseus could just hang out with Calypso. The cost is not going home, but he gets to live forever. Odysseus turns that deal down. He turns the deal down to go home to his family instead because he can't abandon Tom Holland. Well, besties, that story, it reminds us of these two Odyssey movies. The AI one is definitely going to have a higher ROI potential than the Nolan one.

10:47Because the cost was so small for the AI one. But the real Christopher Nolan film, it's the only one that could deserve the descriptor of epic. We've said that a truism of modern media is that the higher the production cost, the lower the financial returns are going to be. But in reality, it's not just about the financial return. It's not just about the ROI. It's about the impact, the influence, and the legacy. So to understand real ROI, study Homer. For our second story, PayPal reportedly got a$53 billion acquisition offer, but PayPal and Venmo have lost their mojo. Here's how PayPal failed and why SpaceX could be the eventual buyer.

11:27Yeti is checking the weather here and been a record year for deals. M &A is ATH-ing right now, Jack. They're at all-time highs. So Stripe, the privately owned payment processor, offered$53 billion for PayPal, according to multiple reports. Jack, this is like the student challenging the master. Because PayPal is the Mr. Miyagi. I think PayPal invented fintech. Yeah, it's the Mr. Miyagi of fintech. PayPal was founded in 1998, before the dot-com crash. Basically middle-aged right now. Definitely gray hairs on that beard. While Stripe was founded by Ireland's Collison brothers, who were just 8 and 10 years old back then.

12:04PayPal has been publicly traded twice and owned by Elon Musk and eBay at separate parts. Meanwhile, Stripe is still technically a startup, albeit one of the most valuable startups in the entire world. But PayPal stock is down 80 % from its all-time high it reached five years ago. Why is that, Jack? Pandemic was the biggest opportunity ever for digital payments, but PayPal missed that opportunity. And yet still, PayPal stock popped 25 % this week on hope that Stripe will send them a Venmo for 53 billion bucks. No, we say Venmo because PayPal owns Venmo. And if you want to know what's wrong with PayPal, then you gotta look at Venmo.

12:39Venmo. It was founded in 2009 by a couple of University of Pennsylvania students at a jazz show when they were chatting about frozen yogurt and said, hey, can I just pay you with my phone? Okay, that sounds like the punchline of millennial entrepreneur joke, but it's actually a true story. That's how Venmo started. And that's how Venmo became the second app to become a verb right after Uber did. So once Venmoing became socially acceptable to put in the dictionary, PayPal swooped in and bought the company in 2013. Now, the reason millennials don't carry cash anymore, it goes back to Venmo. Venmo was the first social feed for your finances.

13:11And it made the wallet obsolete because Jack could always Venmo Nick 25 bucks for a burrito emoji. Venmo's cultural brand equity, it got so big, it really should be in the Millennial Hall of Fame. But if your recent date went Dutch and tried to split the bill with you last night, they didn't use Venmo, did they? No, because we got the receipts and what kind of numbers we see in Jack. There's 150 million Zelle users, which is twice as many as Venmo users right now. And Zelle did$1 trillion in volume last year, which is more than twice as much as Venmo did. Venmo used to control 80 % of the peer-to-peer payments market back in 2021.

13:44Today, they do less than half of the market. So Jack, what is one core challenge facing Venmo these days? Friction. Venmo is a separate app you have to download and connect to a bank account. Zelle is built into everyone's bank account. Okay, but what's the other awkward issue we should also mention? I mean, PayPal management. They didn't capitalize on Venmo's mojo after acquiring it. And Cash App won the love of Gen Z just as Venmo's marketing team missed the post-millennial moment. PayPal could have turned Venmo into a brokerage like Robinhood. I mean, Jackie could have been sending our buddy Timmy Apple stock for his birthday.

14:15Not too shabby. But PayPal got too big, too bureaucratic, was focused on too many things at the same time. It messed with Venmo's mojo. It modeled it. And while Venmo was failing, so was the rest of PayPal. According to former PayPal president David Marcus, PayPal's recent leadership weren't product people, they were finance people. They lost the digital checkout market to Apple Pay and Google Pay. So Jack, it actually was two burritos. Can you make that two burritos, please? You didn't wait for two burritos. I gotta point that out. What's the takeaway for our buddies over at Venmo? Cue the poop emojis because Elon might swoop in and buy back PayPal.

14:51Yeah, yet he's Wall Street analysts think that PayPal Will not accept Stripe's offer The price was simply too low But the fact that the offer happened Puts PayPal in the market It could solicit offers from others Like Elon Musk And we think SpaceX could step in and acquire PayPal For a few reasons First, Elon has pledged to make X a super app Remember after he acquired Twitter? He said it would become so much more than Twitter It'd become a super app? Right Well, payments was core to the other stuff beyond Twitter but that hasn't happened yet. I mean, Jack, making your X handle, your Venmo handle, that'd be huge.

15:24Second, SpaceX's IPO gave the company $100 billion in fresh cash. Or SpaceX could buy PayPal with a bunch of SpaceX stock. Think about it. Elon is personally worth a trillion dollars. PayPal would cost 5 % of his net worth. But finally, and wildest of all, is that Elon co-founded PayPal. Yeah, remember the OG PayPal mafia? A bunch of South African entrepreneurs. That was Elon's first entrepreneur and went, Besties, this emotional founder would find emotional appeal in buying back his baby. And now that PayPal is officially on the sale rack, it's gotten Elon's attention. So Elon may swoop in with a Venmo request and buy back PayPal.

16:02Now a quick word from our sponsor. NetSuite. Yeah, it is. NetSuite is the corporate control panel for business. Has been since 1998. They probably use this on Star Wars. This pre.com software suite, though, it remains the market leader. But Nick, what is next? I got no idea, Jack. You tell me what's next. Well, they say every day your business is late for AI, you fall two days behind. I didn't know they said that. Now I'm stressed, Jack. That's an incredibly stressful thing. We're all anxiety maxing.

18:16For our third and final story, with every economic odds stacked against them, restaurants have a brand new solution, the adult happy meal. Burgers, fries, and a boozy surprise for 25 bucks. There's no toy, but the adult happy meal still makes you feel like a kid. Yetis whip out the Google Maps two blocks from Washington Square Park right in the heart of Greenwich Village is a steak easy called Antson. Yeah, the restaurant calls itself a steak easy, not a speakeasy. But the business isn't easy right now. Because even though New York City is doing better than ever right now, Antson's is not looking handsome these days.

18:51Because restaurant prices are up 24 % since 2022, compared to a 19 % increase in wages. So eating out eats out a bigger chunk of a New Yorker's paycheck these days. The burger, it's eating you. It's and me, which is why visits to restaurants are down in 15 of the last 16 months, according to the National Restaurant Association. You're trading out Nobu for Trader Joe's. But what do diners need instead, Jack? What could lure them back? They need a happy place, Nick. So, Anson is offering a burger, fries, and a cocktail for 25 bucks. Bonus, instead of the toy, this adult happy meal includes a game of chance.

19:28You roll two dices, and if you get a seven, the meal is free, and the whole restaurant goes nuts. They stole that idea from Din Tai Fung. Come on, snake eyes. Now, it's not just and sun, though. The entree side and drink bundle deals, they're up 21 % for nice restaurants across the country compared to last year. So Jack and I will break down why from both the consumer and business side, the adult happy meal is happening. And we'll do it well. We'll do it well. Actually, we'll do it medium well, Jack. We'll do medium well. Now, for the consumer, the adult happy meal is a predictably priced night out.

19:58I mean, Jack, you thought the date night would be 60 bucks, but then one app, one dessert, at one state food and hospitality tax later. I'm looking at$148 and a tip. On the other hand, the adult Happy Meal is 25 bucks per adult. Everything's included. Okay, second benefit for the consumer, it's also curated. Restaurants usually include their signature entree and a signature cocktail in the adult Happy Meal deal. So no choice paralysis, besties. You both get the special. You're not stuck between tuna or duck and you don't have to ask the waiter, give me another five minutes. And finally, it's a marketing win for all.

20:31Because the restaurant usually has a rule or a gimmick included in the deal. Some of those actually include toys, just like a McDonald's Happy Meal. Others make it a secret menu. They limit the adult Happy Meal only to those in the know who ask for it. Ah, the cool kids club. But either way, you'll post your adult Happy Meal on Instagram, so you get the clout and the business gets the cred. Now, the adult Happy Meal can backfire. Oh, good point, Jack. The table might have spent$200, but walks out spending$100 because, wow, that was such a good deal. They didn't need to tell me about that deal.

20:57I mean, as a former wine salesman of the month over at Olive Garden, Jack, Jack, I can imagine that stresses you out. It really does, Nick. But whatever gimmick the restaurant employs, it can earn outsized goodwill from these cash-strapped diners. Get this. Bloomberg, who first reported the story, found one dude who visited that Anson restaurant 25 times. He appreciates the adult Happy Meal that much, Nick. Service up. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at the adult Happy Meal? Staff always wash their hands, and the menu never discounts. Yeti's, the key to survival and hospitality, it's to avoid the dreaded D word.

21:33And that D word is discounting. Chili's does discounts. Right. And no restaurant wants to get into a price war against Chili's. But at the same time, Jack, restaurants can't ignore the macro trends of consumers feeling squeezed right now. And that's what the adult Happy Meal really is. Right. It gives consumers an effective discount without technically lowering any prices on the menu. Now, besties, we have seen bundling in the wireless industry for years, right? like free Netflix if you subscribe to T-Mobile. Both Netflix and T-Mobile are effectively discounting their products in a bundle, but technically keeping the prices high.

22:05And we've seen menu innovations, limited time offers, tossing in certain things just for free. All of those are ways that restaurants can keep pinched customers coming in while avoiding the discounting death spiral. Oh, the discounting death spiral of death. Besties, staff, they always wash their hands. And the menu never discounts. Jack, could you whip up the takeaways to send us into the weekend? Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey competes this weekend in theaters with Odysseus, an AI version of the same film. And the AI version, it might have a better ROI, but like Homer, Chris Nolan ain't worried about it.

22:40For our second story, with its stock down 80 % from all-time highs, PayPal is for sale, which means Venmo is too. And SpaceX could be the surprise suitor because of Elon. And our third and final story is the adult Happy Meal. They're popping up across menus across the country. An entree, a side, a cocktail, and a surprise for 25 bucks. Because staff always must wash hands, and menus must never discount. But besties, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today. First, Netflix earnings. Thumbs up, thumbs down. What are they going to be? Everyone thought they'd be bad, and they were.

23:15Well, the earnings were pretty good. They had membership growth, higher pricing, more advertising, more revenue, more profits. Okay, that's like saying the acting was good, but the plot was bad, Jack. I see the nuance. Well, the stock fell 8%, Nick, after announcing they would share less info about user engagement going forward. Why do companies stop sharing data, Jack? Because that data is turning negative, Nick. Spoiler, for the first time ever, people are watching less Netflix. Second, a new perk from United Airlines. You can pay to not sit next to anybody. Yeah, you want a window seat with nobody in the middle?

23:45Ah, you can now pay for that and not have to worry about them. Yeah, it's these new middle seats where there's just a tray. So the guy in the aisle and the guy in the window, avoid small talk with the person next to them because there's no one next to them. Ah, the middle seat. It's turned into a psychological and financial chess piece for the airline industry. So you can pay 300 bucks to ensure nobody's next to you. And finally, the newest Chinese law. Well, it's to stop you from falling in love with your chatbot. China introduced the most intense regulation of AI yet, focused on relationships.

24:15The rules require AI companies to recognize if someone's getting a little too close with their chatbot and step in to stop the thing. Yeah, because China knows they need to grow their population. And last I checked, chatbots can't have babies. Now time for the best fact yet. This one sent in by Mike and Kara from lovely New York City. Because the U.S. House voted last week to make daylight saving permanent. We'd have to stop changing clocks. If the Senate approves, you will never have to change your oven clock again, Jack. The time would be the time. But there's one industry that would benefit most with permanent daylight savings.

24:51And that winner is golf. Because the golf industry would get a lot of extra money from evening tee times if our days went longer. If the clock keeps the sun out longer, you end up playing longer and maybe do a couple extra games. So the biggest lobby for permanent daylight savings? The golf lobby, which is a real thing. Yeah, the industry could make nearly a billion dollars in additional revenue with more twilight rounds out there. That's according to the Journal of Economic Behavior. because remember the downside to permanent daylight savings, really dark mornings in the winter. No one's playing golf at 7 a.m.

25:20In Vermont, Nick, it wouldn't get light until like 9 a.m. in December. In the Arctic, no one even plays golf. Letties, you look fantastic going into the weekend. Remember to celebrate the winds. Jack, you are glowing over there. Can't wait to see you soon. That was such a good redirect because I thought you were going to say in the Arctic, the sun doesn't even come up. Honestly, I just was trying to roll with it. Bessies, if you haven't yet, drop down for Five Star Friday to give us five stars. That helps us grow the show. Nick and I will be live from Nantucket next week with our families for a T-boy nude tradition.

25:50In the meantime, Jack, Venmo me three burritos. Always a fan of Venmo and we'll see you on Monday's show.

26:00And before we go, a happy birthday to Zanonis Grubb, the boss babe with a new home, a new job, and the best birthday yet down in Brooklyn. Happy birthday to Sally Thompson and Jennifer Lord, and sisters from Baltimore turning 58 and 63. And Carly Conan, happy birthday down in Salt Lake City, celebrating with some sweets. Happy 51st birthday to Katie Hanners in Tennessee. William Parrish, enjoy the 36th down in Florida. Happy 31st birthday to John Fidel in Philadelphia, who listens to T-Boy every day. And Caroline Jills McLaughlin is turning 31 on the Upper East Side. And a quick correction. Yesterday, we said that Selena Gomez was Gen Z.

26:32She's definitely millennial. Thank you, Ash Andrew, for the fact check. And Brad and Angel Cohane, we see your 21st anniversary. Keep celebrating the wins down in Florida. And happy 51st wedding anniversary to Barat and Sheila Shaw in lovely Los Angeles. And Brad has given a shout out to Alex A., who turned him into a Yeti in San Francisco. Thanks, guys. Congratulations to Dan Jensen in Salt Lake City. His family opened the first domestic franchise of the New York City Magnolia Bakery. Utah, they just can't get enough banana pudding out there, Jack. And to anyone else celebrating something today, make it a T-boy.

27:04Celebrate the wins.

27:08This is Jack. I own stock of Netflix. Nick and I both own stock of Apple. And I own one share of SpaceX. And Nick owns more than one. Biro Premium Non-Alcoholic Beer. All right, yet he's a little behind the scenes here. Before our New York City live show back in April, Jack and I went sober for two weeks. True story. Couldn't risk getting sick. I didn't want to be groggy. I couldn't afford a hangover. It was New York, baby. Okay, but Jack, celebrating the wins is what we do. And so for our live shows, we crack open something special. So we drank Biro, the premium non-alcoholic beer brand co-founded by Tom Holland.

27:41Yeah, I actually first saw it at my grocery store. Delicious tastes like a celebration, feels fantastic, and looks legit. More on the looks in a sec. And if it's good enough for the actor who played Spider-Man, it's good enough for us. You see, it pairs well with a pickleball game, a profitable earnings report, or with the best podcast. So Yetis, if you want to celebrate the wins with all the taste of a premium lager or IPA, but none of the alcohol. There's no better choice than Bureau. Okay, pause the pod. Did we mention the can is straight up gold? This thing will stand out at every one of your next parties.

28:12Trust us, we've done it. Only beer we know that actually upgrades the scene like a promotion. So, Basties, if there's a win you're celebrating every day, Bureau is the non-alcoholic brew brand you gotta bring. So, use code T-Boy for 20 % off your first order at BureauBrewing.com.
