🚽 “Houston, we’re rich” — SpaceX’s janitor millionaires. Greed World Cup. Pizza Hut’s 1996-ification. +The M.A.N.G.O.S.

0:28This is Nick. fall. Wilder, we are so pumped for you. The pod son, the first one to graduate from preschool. But Jack, we got three fantastic stories to hit before the celebration. What do we got on the T-boy? For our first story, more than 4 ,400 current and past SpaceX employees will become millionaires tomorrow, including a$28 an hour welder. Jack and I will explain the math of the equity. For our second story, the World Cup kicks off today in Mexico, but in America, the ticket prices are up 40X. Because to stop ticket scalpers, FIFA became a ticket scalper. And our third and final story, one Pizza Hut manager has gone rogue and renovated the whole store like it's 1986.

1:09It's not a rebrand, it's a pre-brand. That's what we're calling it. But that pre-brand may have saved the Pizza Hut chain. Pizza the Hut. But yet is before you hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, you know, you know, love the mix on today's pod. No one else is doing that mix. Wall Street isn't just about numbers, it's also about words. Because there is nothing the stock market loves more than a good old-fashioned acronym. And we just invented a new one, mangoes. The mangoes. But first, Jack, how about we sprinkle on a little context? In 2013, our buddy Jim Cramer coined the term FANG, as in the four FANG stocks.

1:43Yeah, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. FANG. Then Apple started blowing up, so they added another A to that acronym. F-double-A-N-G. Five tech companies defining the era with one catchy phrase. But then, Nick, Netflix started falling and Microsoft started rising and Facebook and Google both changed their corporate names. So then we had the mama stocks. M-A-M-A. Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet. But then Tesla surged and NVIDIA became the most valuable company in the world. So then we got another new acronym, the Batman stocks. Batman. Broadcom, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, NVIDIA.

2:20Okay, but then Jack paused the pod because over the last three years, they've defied acronyms. We needed three full words to describe the biggest companies on Earth. The Magnificent Seven. The seven biggest tech companies on Earth. But besties today, on the eve of SpaceX and two other record-setting IPOs, we present the first stock market AI acronym. Say hello to the mangoes. Microsoft, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX. Ah, the mangoes. Mangos, they're the most consumed fruit in the world, we should point out. And mangoes will soon be the most owned stocks in the world, too. They're sweet, they're sour, they're super juicy AI companies, the mangoes.

2:59You already bought mangoes at the market. Now you're buying them at the stock market. Jack, peel open that mango and let's hit our free story. Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the 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.

5:58We know what will happen to SpaceX stock on Friday because we studied tsunamis. All right, Yetis, whip open those real estate listings because the newest luxury housing market in America, it's Brownsville, Texas? What's in Brownsville? Not a beach, not a ski resort, not a Jack Nicklaus-designed premium golf course. No, no, no. But it is home of SpaceX employee housing, right, Jack? And 4 ,400 former and current SpaceX employees are going to become millionaires tomorrow, according to Hill.com, a San Francisco-based investment platform. Oh, and of those 4 ,400, 400 are expected to earn over 100 million bucks on this IPO.

6:37Because for years, SpaceX has paid their employees below market wages and salaries. They gave equity instead, which could have been worth nada if those rockets didn't work. But like we've said, equity is exciting. Getting rich requires taking a risk. So now it's not just engineers with PhD coding skills who are going to get rich on this SpaceX IPO tomorrow. Even the cafeteria workers, some of them are about to become millionaires. No joke, a SpaceX janitor is about to buy a second home for their third yacht. And we have an example to prove it. It's Juan Hernandez, a Mexican immigrant who's also an employee at SpaceX.

7:11He lives down in Brownsville. And in 2015, this welder heard of a contracting gig at some Texas company, so he took the job for$28 an hour. That company was SpaceX, which eventually offered him a full-time job at a below-market salary. Okay, it was below-market salary, Jack, but it did come with that$10 ,000 in equity that would vest over five years, according to the fine print. Now, let's talk some equity math here. In 2015, SpaceX was private, but its private stock was worth about$6 per share back in 2015. Okay, but Jack, now SpaceX is going public. Where is that price today? Its IPO tomorrow will be priced at$135 a share.

7:48Okay, so that's 22 and a half times more than it was worth in 2015. So Juan's$10 ,000 of SpaceX stock that he was granted back in 2015, it is now appreciated to be worth$225 ,000. Okay, but Jack, over the years, SpaceX then gave him the option to forego even more salary in return for even more stock. And guess what? He said yes. So his SpaceX stock is worth$880 ,000 now based on the IPO price of$135. Besties for a decade, Juan's been tight on cash. Where the IPO would happen would not happen, nobody knew. But that anxiety has transformed into excitement because it's going to happen. Juan took a risk and it paid off.

8:29So not quite a millionaire yet, but he's definitely going to play around in one of those 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf courses. Yeah, he's going to celebrate the wins tomorrow. Okay, but Jack, pause the pod because for all the SpaceX winners, we also got some losers that are pretty interesting. In a surprising place. Have you noticed that tech stocks have been dropping all month? Jack, I'm checking the scoreboard here. Amazon down 5%, Nvidia down 6%, Meta's dropped 8 % in 30 days. The Nasdaq index that tracks all the tech stocks is down 7 % in June so far. Okay, but it's not just those guys. What about the crypto cold plunge we're experiencing?

9:02Bitcoin is down 25 % in the last month, and it's off by 50 % from its all-time high. Then the Bitcoin is feeling it besties. All of these risky assets are falling, and Jack and I think it's connected to SpaceX. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at SpaceX? We know what will happen to tomorrow's IPO because of tsunamis. Look, Yetis, unlike George Costanza, Jack and I are not marine biologists, but we did read a fascinating book about the ocean. Before a tsunami makes landfall, the tide of the ocean is pulled out into the deep. Hours before a tidal wave, the water actually pulls back so that fish and sand are suddenly exposed.

9:43The fish are like flapping on the sand, wondering what's going on. It's a crazy tell of a tsunami, and then it returns as that one big wave. We think what we're seeing in the stock market right now is a tsunami-like drawback in anticipation of this IPO. Because Nasdaq's down 7%, Bitcoin's dropped 25 % this month, investors are selling out of risky assets. One explanation is that they're doing it to raise cash to buy SpaceX stock. There's only so much money in the market, Nick. People are entering out their left pocket to fill their right pocket. Oh, and we can see that buying appetite in the order request.

10:15$250 billion of order requests for SpaceX stock. SpaceX is issuing$75 billion of fresh shares tomorrow. Bloomberg reports there are orders for$250 billion worth. So add it up, besties. If SpaceX is a tsunami about to hit Wall Street shores, then the recent sell-off is water that will power it. We don't know what'll happen tomorrow when SpaceX stock starts trading. But looking at the winners and losers, we see financial signs of a tidal wave. For our second story, World Cup Business Preview. Ticket prices are up 5x since the last World Cup. They're up 40x since the last U.S. World Cup. FIFA defeated ticket scalpers, but in doing so, it became one.

10:58What a villain origin story there, Jack. But first, can someone please go wake up that redhead Alexei Lalas? Lalas, you're on air! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, take your four-year hibernation's over. We need you to explain football to Americans. Every four years, we bring out one former professional American soccer player to teach everyone in America what a handball is. Because tonight, actually at three o 'clock today, Mexico takes on South Africa in Estadio Azteca. Ah, the loudest soccer stadium in all the world. This stadium was engineered to hit 132 decibels at the field level. So if this game goes to penalty kicks, a referee could go deaf, no joke.

11:37And this stadium's got history. In 1970, Pele won the World Cup final at this stadium. Jack, 1986, Diego Maradona won the World Cup final there. This is a concrete fortress of football. Of football. Now, this is the 2026 World Cup, hosted by not just Mexico, but also the United States and Canada. It's also going to be the sixth and final World Cup for our buddies Messi and Ronaldo. Fox paid half a billion dollars to have the exclusive broadcast rights of all 104 games here in the States. So you're going to have to ask your dad for his FuboTV password if you want to watch this thing. Before your brothers do.

12:09And shocker, the 2026 World Cup, it's going to be the biggest gambling event in human history. Yeah, there's a 98 ,000 % chance somebody flops. In the first two minutes of play from both teams. Oh, and advertisers, they're going to have to get creative this time, Jack. Because this isn't American football where there's a commercial break every two plays. There's 45 straight minutes with no commercial opportunity in soccer. But besties, we should run out for the final match at MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey. We will make this football game feel like American football. with the first ever World Cup halftime show, Super Bowl style.

12:45Madonna, Shakira, BTS, they'll be performing live. But Nick, I am handing you a yellow card right now. Oh boy, what's up? Because guess what percent of us Americans are somewhat interested or very interested in watching a World Cup match this year, according to YouGov. It is with the numbers, coach. Just 29 % of us are interested in watching a game. Interest is nil, a little bit of footy fatigue. Now, it's not just the surveys. We got the receipts to prove it. Or lack of receipts, Jack. Yeah, because there are still tickets available to the U.S. opening match on Friday in Los Angeles. Now, besties, this ain't about the sport of soccer.

13:19This appears to be about the business of soccer. Because this isn't the World Cup. This is the greed World Cup. It is, with planets aligning for FIFA's unprecedented money grab, and the fans are feeling it. Nick, I'm going to open up the history textbook here. Please whip it out. The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup was 1994, and the average ticket price that year was$25. bucks. What's the average ticket price to this World Cup, Nick? Jack, that's going to cost you, oh my God, a thousand dollars a ticket. A thousand dollars. Now, the last World Cup four years ago in Qatar was the most expensive ever by far, but this one beats it by 5x.

13:56And this one beats our 94 World Cup by 40x. We repeat, this World Cup is 40 times more expensive to watch than the last time we hosted in 1994. But Jack, I got to point out, this is America. Did you see our willingness to pay for the Ares tour a couple of years ago? FIFA sure did. But FIFA didn't just react to that by setting record high ticket prices. FIFA has brazenly sought ways to make extra money, and it all began in September with a crypto scam. Yes, last September, they seized on ticket anxiety when FIFA sold the right-to-buy token for hundreds of dollars each. Buying one right-to-buy token from FIFA guaranteed you the opportunity to buy a real ticket to a TBD match for probably $1 ,000.

14:40So you're paying hundreds just to pay for the right to spend another thousand when the tickets actually go on sale. It was a totally worthless token and a bunch of people fell for it. Okay. Then in April, the tickets did actually go on sale. And FIFA wanted to price out the scalpers. So they set a price so high that scalpers wouldn't think they could turn a profit on it. they set prices at a thousand bucks a ticket. And it wasn't just the high price, then came the feeocracy. Despite the high prices, reselling is still rampant for this World Cup. And FIFA only lets it happen on their official platform, where they take a 30 % fee.

15:12A fee fee. Jack, could you sprinkle on even more context for us on FIFA? FIFA is corrupt. And it's not just Nick and I saying that, it's the FBI saying that. Because in 2015, the FBI indicted nine FIFA officials for racketeering conspiracy and corruption. But last year, the White House paused enforcement of America's anti-bribery laws, which was basically a wink-wink to FIFA to go ahead and do your bribery stuff this World Cup. So now FIFA stands to make$9 billion in profit on these games, and they say they're going to put it into promoting soccer across the globe. But FIFA bribes like Neymar flops.

15:46We promise we will pivot from ticket price frustration to soccer excitement. But first, Jack, can you whip up our takeaway?

15:58You can't beat scalpers by becoming them. Besties, FIFA set ticket prices extraordinarily high for a reason that we actually agree with. It was to beat ticket scalpers. Sophisticated scalpers these days use bots to buy up all the tickets online before real humans can, and then they resell them for a profit. They take a bunch of revenue and have nothing to do with the performance. So if FIFA sold soccer tickets at an everyman price, scalpers would just jack up that price, which would be bad for FIFA and bad for us. So this World Cup, FIFA tried to predict what prices would resell for if scalpers got their hands on them and then just made it that price in the primary market.

16:34They set the price really high. But here's the problem, Jack. That means the high-priced ticket hate usually reserved for scalpers was not being directed at FIFA. There is a lesson here for musicians, sporting events, and anyone trying to sell tickets right now. Basically, you can't beat scalpers by becoming a scalper. Now, other countries have solved this problem, Nick. There are anti-scalping laws. It's quite simple, actually. The UK and France, they forbid ticket sales above the face value. Germany and Netherlands put names on tickets, like airline tickets do, to limit scalping. Oh, and the state of Maine, here in America, just passed a law limiting resale to 10 % above the face value.

17:09These anti-scalping laws let you cut out the scalpers without having to jack up the prices that the scalpers are known for. So besties of artists want to beat scalpers but not become scalpers. The solution is the anti-scalping law. Now let's get excited for some soccer. Now, a quick word from our sponsor.

For our third and final story, Pizza Hut sales are surging in one specific location, stores that look like 1984. This isn't a rebranding. This is a pre-branding. Oh, we will tell you all about it. But besties, Jack and I got to ask you a question. Well, Jack, actually, were you food motivated as a child? They tell parents not to bribe kids with food, but who hasn't accepted a pack of Skittles in return for putting on that college shirt for Easter. Who amongst us has not done so? Besties Pizza Hut, they've been known for doing this since 1984.

20:13Pizza Hut launched the famous Book It program nationwide that year. Back then, the son of Pizza Hut's president, he actually struggled to read books at the time. So the head of this pizza chain launched a literacy program for kids just like his own. Book It, the plan was simple. Encourage kids to set reading challenges and then, you know, reward them with carbs. James and the giant peach turns into James earning a giant pizza. But now this concept has been digitized in the Book It app for the digital age. This literacy program, which again, Pizza Hut created, now has 14 million students at 37 ,000 participating schools.

20:45What we're saying, besties, is for 42 years, Pizza Hut pioneered one of the most successful stealth marketing programs in history. A pizza chain convinced schools and parents that the right reward for reading a book was a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza. Oh, and what a profit, Puppy Jack. Jack, families come in to redeem that free pie for the kid, but they celebrate with a$100 tab for the rest of them. So Book It this year launched June 1st. It lasts through August 31st. Fun summer initiative, but you can't build a pizza business just on that. Good point, Jack, because Pizza Hut sales were down 3 % last quarter, and they've fallen for ninth grade quarters, no matter how much R.L.

21:21Stine kid reads. We actually covered the Book It program last summer, and a lot of you commented on the episode that you're Book It alums, actually. This is what Jack and I find fascinating. This story is bringing you back to the 80s and 90s right now. When you read books as part of the Book It program and got a pizza as a reward. And that phenomenon is what's really saving Pizza Hut's business. Do you remember that trivia question, who buys the most kale of any company or person in the world? Love that trivia question. What's the answer, Jack? Probably not true anymore, but it was Pizza Hut. The salad bar was a bed of kale underneath, remember?

21:55Back in the 80s and 90s, 14 ,000 pounds a year of kale wasn't for eating, it was for salad bar holding. Well, Pizza Hut's bringing back that 80s and 90s restaurant design with something they call Pizza Hut classic. We're talking Pizza Hut locations that have a Pac-Man, a salad bar. They've got the red cups made out of plastic. And they've got those stained glass Pizza Hut lamps hanging over the booths. Like they were made in Venice. Besties, this isn't a rebranding. This is a concept Jack and I call pre-branding. It's bringing the brand back to an earlier version of itself, from soup to nuts. So Pizza Hut now has 155 locations with this retro design.

22:32And they're recognizable from the street because of that classic red roof architecture. But Pizza Hut has 80 more coming because, as the New York Times discovered, business is up at the throwback huts. They're the top-selling locations, Nick. Adults come for the nostalgia and they stay for the pasta. But it ain't just physical, it's also digital, right Jack? Nick and I checked out Pizza Hut's Instagram page. we'd say about half of the posts lean into this retro part, but half of it are modern. What we discovered is that the retro posts are the ones getting all the engagement. The comments are dripping with nostalgic longing.

23:04The good times when you paid attention at dinner to the people you were with instead of your phone. But besties, the wildest part about Pizza Hut's pre-branding, it's that it wasn't corporate's idea. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at Pizza the Hut? Nothing tastes as profitable as a slice of humble pie. Now, Basties, it would have been an easy expected idea for corporate to come out and say, Hey, let's do nostalgia, guys. That's what McDonald's is doing. That's what Pizza Hut's doing. That's what Doritos is doing. That's what Mountain Dew is doing. But the retro moves that Pizza Hut is doubling down on right now were actually the idea of a dishwasher.

23:41Because in 1983, a teenager named Tim Sparks got a summer job doing dishes at the Hut and eventually became a small business owner. That's right. He opened up his own Pizza Hut franchise and in 2019, he decided to make it retro. It wasn't corporate who decided that. It was Tim Sparks, one owner who bought and eventually retrofitted 38 more Pizza Huts in this classic style. The former dishwasher, he took a risk to transform his locations into a retro style, but it worked and then corporate adopted it. Get this man a raise. Now corporate's seen the data and is encouraging other franchisees to jump on Tim's bandwagon as well.

24:15Because the suits were humble enough to take an idea from the dishwasher. Ah, nothing tastes as profitable as humble pie. Jack, could you whip up the takeaways for us for the new Friday? Tomorrow, 4 ,400 SpaceX employees will become millionaires because they took stock instead of cash. And the sell-down this month in tech stocks, it's the tsunami effect for this giant IPO wave. For our second story, FIFA is taking full advantage of every profit opportunity with this World Cup. It's the greed World Cup. Because you can't beat scalpers if you simply become one. And our third and final story, Pizza Hut's comeback is being driven by its retro redesigns, or pre-designs, if you will.

24:56Yeah, the pre-branding, because they had a slice of humble pie served up by the dishwasher. But besties, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today. First, we got the celebrity of economic reports, the inflation report. Prices rose 4.2 % in June. That's up from 3.8 % last month and the highest in over three years. When the war in Iran began, inflation was 2.4%, but oil prices have powered it up to 4.2 now. Unfortunately, it's more proof of what Wall Street doesn't want to hear. The Fed is more likely to increase interest rates right now than to cut them. And second, the trailer just dropped for the new Facebook movie, and it looks like really good.

25:33Jeremy Allen White from The Bear plays a Wall Street Journal reporter. And Jeremy Strong, Kendall from Succession, plays Mark Zuckerberg. And Mickey Madison plays Francis Haugen, the ex-Facebook employee who leaked the infamous Facebook files. Besties, same writer as the OG social network. Bill Burr has a cameo, but Justin Timberlake didn't show. And finally, Peloton has its mojo back? Let's go, baby! Or at least it has money to buy something. Because Peloton just acquired a Pilates reformer brand called Scope. Peloton says that demand for Pilates classes within the Peloton app are up 48 % in the last year.

26:08So Peloton is following the sweat from bikes to treadmills to rowing machines and now Pilates reformers. As shareholders, Nick and I would prefer a dividend check. Now time for the best fact yet. This one sent in by Pablo P. all the way from Spain. Jackson Pollock is the American painter who's famous for kind of just like whipping paint at the canvas, you know? He was like the first artist who realized people would pay more money for that. He just set a personal record too. A Jackson Pollock painting sold for$181 million. Even though you're looking at it and saying, I know, I could have done that, but you didn't do it.

26:42Now, this painting hadn't been seen in 49 years. It was stashed in the living room of some private home. But Jack, the world record for most expensive piece of art ever? Not just from Jackson Pollock, but from anybody? That would be Leonardo da Vinci. A$450 million painting sold in 2017. It was not the Mona Lisa. Yetis, you look fantastic today. Jack, you are glowing as we get ready for this SpaceX IPO. Are you talking about our in-person offering or the SpaceX IPO? I was talking about SpaceX IPO, but also our IPO, the live show. San Francisco is at the Palace of Fine Arts. Boston is at City Winery, right in the city.

27:19Not just outside Boston, inside Boston. Exactly. And in Seattle, we're at the Showbox. Three fantastic venues. And we can't wait to see you live. So grab your tickets. We got the links right here in the episode description. Get them while you can. Nick and I, we'll see you tomorrow. Can't win.

27:38And before we go, a happy birthday to legendary Eddie Gary Adelkoff. One year from his social security check down in Houston. We love getting him a shout out every year. Happy 32nd birthday to Brett Taylor in Northampton, New Hampshire, who's at a Red Sox game right now, just inside Boston. And Paulo Ulloa is turning 34 years old down in Orlando. Happy fifth birthday to Isaac Lowe in Miami, Florida. And Emma Hoffman, an exchange student in Otsego, Minnesota, is returning to Stuttgart, Germany. Hope you had a blast, Emma. And congratulations to Dario for the last day of sixth grade. And to Odin for the last day of fourth grade, both of them in Dearborn, Michigan.

28:14And happy anniversary to Jill and Tony Ion, celebrating in San Francisco. And to anyone else celebrating something today, make it a T-boy. Celebrate the wins.
