0:00Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the moment you've all been waiting for. Please welcome your hosts, Nick and Jim!
0:39Starting the show.
0:48This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, June 4th, and today's live show from L.A.
1:04is the best one yet.
1:11It's the T-Boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. This is the IPO tour. Our in-person offering. T-Boy live from lovely Los Angeles.
1:28Jack, we got three fantastic stories today. What's on the pod? For our first story, SpaceX is going public next week, but they already broke every rule in the book to make it happen. Because SpaceX's IPO is inspired by one song from the Rolling Stones. For our second story, the NBA Finals began last night. The Knicks versus the Spurs. The Knicks will make 20 million bucks for every home game, but they made one big business mistake. And our third and final story, Why is Dua Lipa hooking up with Google Maps? Because Google Maps is the future of social media. But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories, who here loves that mix?
2:13I was actually kind of nervous there wouldn't be a good mix today. Never. There is a framework we love that explains fashion. It's called the quadrants. You see, America's four top cities are explained by two different variables. Comfort and fashionability. And those two variables make four quadrants. As in, New York City is fashionable but uncomfortable. High heels, they look great, but they're not fun to wear. San Francisco is comfortable but unfashionable. All bird shoes, not a vibe. Washington, D.C. is uncomfortable and unfashionable. That's the worst quadrant of all. The only one who likes wearing Brooks Brothers is a Brooks Brothers lobbyist.
2:57But Los Angeles, Los Angeles, you are comfortable and fashionable.
3:07The best of both worlds. Your sweatpants have been tailored to your hairless bodies. Because lovely Los Angeles has created a wellness and beauty economy unlike any other. And Nick and I got the receipts. You see, the Erewhon grocery store just launched a$15 ,000 a year VIP club true story. It includes an in-store nutritionalist who will guide you to the peptides which are in aisle six. The number of Pilates studios in Los Angeles just hit an all-time high of 562. We double counted. Reformers per capita is now an official statistic at the LA Fed. Oh, and matcha scalping, that is now a recognized profession in LA.
3:48Yeah, you want to keep your matcha dealer close, because that secondary market is hot. Even the sponsor of our live show tonight is a non-alcoholic beer brand, because this is L.A. It's Beer-O, the non-alcoholic beer you can sip right through that infrared face mask. Speaking of dermatology, Jack, the average med spa in L.A. makes$2 million a year in annual sales. That's half of the average in and out, but it's more than the average Burger King. Lip filler, it's the L.A. Whopper. we actually squeezed in a 15 minute bro talks appointment between breakfast with our agents and our cold pluggers and we did it at Christopher Nolan's Nanny's ADU add it all up Yetis in LA is the only place where you can spend 23 bucks on a smoothie and spend$15 ,000 to skip the smoothie line Jack that is fashionable and that is comfortable although that's neither financial nor advisable Yetis there is nothing quite like a Los Angeles Glow Economy.
4:46Nick, should we hit the three stories? Well, Jack, first I've got to move our car because we're double parked. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have to valet. Check all the signs. But then let's hit our three stories. Oh, hang on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I toss you a cold one? Please, Jack.
5:02Lot of rehearsal went into that. So, funny story about Nick and me with these live shows. Yes. The worst thing that could happen is that one of us gets sick or loses our voice. we really that would be like a nightmare yeah so what Jack and I started doing is for our New York live show we went sober like three weeks before we did not touch a drink couldn't afford to get sick same with this one I haven't had a sip of alcohol in two weeks that's what we did it's not just the sickness thing we also you know we gotta prepare for the show we gotta be productive in the mornings no grogginess no hangovers then here's the problem we also have to celebrate the wins like we did team dinner last night and we gotta get everyone together in LA and we wanna have fun our lawyers are literally working on trademarking celebrate the win so what do we do guys hurry up we grab a beer out which is the wonderful sponsor of tonight's show how awesome is this how cool is this we were already doing this this is a premium non-alcoholic beer that I have absolutely love it I drink it basically every day it's a gold can so like every time we're hosting a party people are like what are you holding we're like it's celebration in a can man now Tom Holland yeah Spider-Man he drinks it I'm sorry he owns it and is a co-founder of this brand it's a true story so Jack and I really, really do love stocking the T-Boy Studio with this stuff.
6:16We have it backstage. It's in the green room. It's with us when we're recording every day. This is how we celebrate the wins on a Friday, but also on a Monday. Also, if you want to cheers us with these things, Bureau will be available at the after party that they're sponsoring. Nick and I are heading over there right after the show. It's at Shim Sham. About a mile away, I think? Five minute drive? Everyone's going to be driving, we assume. So enjoy the Bureau tonight You can drive home after because it's non-alc And we'll be having it like we do all the time in the show Now let's hit our first story Thank you Bureau And thank you L the Yetis and Bettys for being here
7:00Bureau premium non-alcoholic beer Alright Yetis, 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. Yeah, I actually first saw it at my grocery store. Delicious tastes like a celebration. Feels fantastic and looks legit.
7:32More 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. Trust us, we've done it. Only beer we know that actually upgrades the scene like a promotion. So, Bastis, if there's a win you're celebrating every day, Bureau is the non-alcoholic brew brand you gotta bring.

8:49For our first story, SpaceX's IPO is next Friday, but we now have the price, the size, and the rules that are being broken. This IPO has one rule and one rule only, and it's a line from the Rolling Stones. All right, Jack, full name here. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation. They moved their headquarters to Texas in 2024 when Elon turned cowboy. But the original facility of SpaceX that builds the rockets, where is that exactly? One rocket road, Hawthorne, California. That's right. We jumped in T-boy style. The rockets launched from Texas, but they're built in California, baby, still today.
9:29The Falcon 9, the Falcon Heavy, the Starship Raptor engines, all made in California. Yeah, they're going back to Cali. And actually, if you want to see the factory, Jack, can you just give us the turn-by-turn directions? From here? Yeah, please. You just take the 110 south, skip the 105 entirely, and just cut over on Western or take the 110 all the way down. Ignore what Google Maps tells you. Look, besties, it's only 13 miles, but it's going to take you 17 hours with traffic. Now, the SpaceX IPO is scheduled for next Friday. The details, many of them got finalized yesterday. Okay, but this is what Jack and I found fascinating as we prep today's story.
10:06Every detail in the SpaceX IPO breaks the rules. Starting with the fees. The fee fees, yeah. Investment banks usually take 4 % to 7 % of the issuance amount for the work that they do in the process of an IPO. We know because we used to do that. For huge IPOs, 1%, a little bit less. But SpaceX's banks, they're getting pushed down. They're getting squeezed to 0.75 % according to Bloomberg. So on a nearly$2 trillion IPO, 0.75%, that is still a ton of money, Jack. We're talking like$75 million of fees for the banks, for the 21 banks to all divvy out. But throw it on the whiteboard, that is one rule broken like a young meta world piece.
10:46Okay, rule number two that's being broken. SpaceX employees, they're stealing that trick in their negotiations with their future wealth managers. The early SpaceX employees kind of unionized here and they're soon to be rich. So they're telling wealth managers to cut their fees in half from 1 % to 0.5%. Rule number three being broken. The Nasdaq Exchange recently changed a rule to fast-track SpaceX to get into the Nasdaq 100 index. That's right. 15 days after this IPO, any retirement fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 is going to have to buy SpaceX stock. And finally, the New York Times reported that any bank, law firm, or auditor that wants to work with SpaceX...
11:23Well, you got to pay for a company-wide Grok subscription from XAI, owned by Elon, part of SpaceX. No joke. And finally, the initial price that next Friday we'll be able to pay to buy SpaceX stock. I assume it's$420,$420. I thought it'd be that too. Yeah, it's not. $135. You see, investment banks usually offer their shares in a range of prices before an IPO. Because they're not sure what the market's going to tolerate in terms of what they'll pay. But Elon's like, look, it's my rules here. It's one price. It's$135. Now, all of this is not standard. All of this breaks the norms. But Elon says that his company is not standard.
11:58He is offering investors a piece of two monopolies and a chance to colonize Mars and or the moon. SpaceX has a monopoly in rocket launches and Starlink is the monopoly of space connectivity. But SpaceX also now includes a very, very, very unprofitable AI business. About that. So if SpaceX's IPO succeeds and they sell 555 million shares next Friday at$135 per share. Okay, I'm rounding the nine, adding the two and canceling over. That would make Elon the world's first trillionaire officially. But if he doesn't succeed, Jack, and he can't sell all the stock, Nick, it could be the pop of the whole AI bubble in seven days.
12:37Jim Cramer said yesterday he was nervous about that. Okay, but to boil down Elon's pitch to us in five words, Jack and I turned into a takeaway and reminded us of a song from 1978. Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies waiting for next week's SpaceX IPO? This is a take it or leave it IPO. Rolling Stone song. Yetis, Elon, he gets very annoyed when people ask him critical questions about his businesses. He said a bunch of times with great annoyance, if you don't believe in the future of Tesla, you shouldn't own the stock. And that is what he's saying to everyone about everything about this IPO?
13:09So he's telling law firms, investment banks, and the stock exchange$135 a share. Take it or leave it. Everyone is taking it, though, because the size of the IPO is so large, there's just too much money to be made. Well, when you say everyone, you mean the banks, the auditors, the accountants, and the law firms, right? But will investors take it? That's the huge question. That could define the whole stock market situation right now. And we'll know in one week and one day and the weeks and months after. On Friday and in the weeks and months afterwards, we'll see how SpaceX trades. His rules, his company, his vision, his price for SpaceX.
13:43It's a take it or a leave it IPO. There we go.
13:51Now a quick word from our sponsor. HIMS. Yetis, we've been keeping a list of weight control plans that Jack has launched and announced on this podcast. The first was to be January. I went vegan, but just for the month of January. Jack, remember Only Cones Day? Like he pledged to only eat ice cream if it was eaten in a cone? Yeah. Also, who says honey is not cool with vegan? What's the deal with that? Well, apparently the bees. The latest, don't eat food off his kids' plates. Each one of those, what did he say, mild success for you, Jack? Yeah, I've done it all when it comes to weight loss, but so haven't we all.
14:22Achieving weight loss goals is another story. Okay, but Jack hasn't tried yet Weight Loss by HIMSS, designed to support you in losing the weight and keeping it off.

16:26Fan-flation? One New York Knicks fan just spent$279 ,000 to purchase just two seats. Okay, in the meantime, the cheapest seats to the first game in San Antonio? $700. Okay, the cheapest tickets to the first game at Madison Square Garden? $5 ,000. We figured Angelinos could relate to this. Game one of the NBA Finals happening as we record right now. The San Antonio Spurs versus the New York Knicks. Okay, same matchup as 1999, the last time the Knicks were in it, Jack. Jack, even the pigeons of New York are pumped right now. And the Tim Duncan of this Spurs team? Wemby. Yeah, Victor Wembenyama. Yeah, who is 7 '4", as of this recording.
17:10It's only going up. The New York Knicks, they are chasing their first championship in 53 years. The operation here is undoing the curse of Patrick Ewing. And we see it in the numbers. Madison Square Garden stock. which owns both the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. It's up 30 % to an all-time high since these playoffs began. Spike Lee has exploded twice, actually, by our account. Now, the Knicks make$4 million of revenue per regular season game, but that changes in the playoffs. And what happens in the playoffs, Jack? They make twice as much revenue, three times as much, four times as much, or five times as much, depending on the series.
17:47So, the ownership of the Knicks wants this to go to Game 7, and why is that? Not for the excitement, for the revenue. They want as many home games as possible because they make$20 million of revenue per home game. The funny thing, Eddie, Jack and I jumped in T-boy style. We noticed there's one place that the Knicks have lost, and ironically, it's a free T-shirt. Now, to sprinkle on some context. Please, Jack. The most commonly accepted sports marketing gimmick is the free T-giveaway. Ah, the free T-giveaway, a financial trick shot, as we'd call it. Yeah. The t-shirt bazooka, it gets the people going.
18:24Each of those tees, it costs like three bucks to make, but it is caught in gold to the fans. That's why every team, including the New York Knicks, have draped a free t-shirt on every seat of the arena for each game of the playoffs. By our math, that is 20 ,000 t-shirts given away for free per game. So for the Knicks, they've had seven home games so far this playoffs. and if you say each shirt costs$3, this marketing move of free shirts for everyone who attends has cost$420 ,000 so far. Now, every team does it. Oklahoma City, every fan wears their blue shirt. In Cleveland, the Cavs fans did a whiteout.
18:58Everyone wore the white shirt. But at the Knicks games, and I suspect something would happen at Lakers games too. Yeah, we do. No one's wearing those free shirts. Nobody. They were left under the seats like an empty Coke can. The simple reason? I was expecting someone to say something bad about New Yorkers. It's culture. Yeah. It's culture. Yeah. And New Yorkers prioritize fashion. They don't want to blend in. Even though their fashion is uncomfortable. The New York Times interviewed New York fans who said, we're from all different backgrounds. I made my own orange sequined jacket for the game.
19:33Yeah, I have an ego. We're New Yorkers. Not wearing the shirts, it's led by the celebrities. Spike Lee has his famous bomber jackets. It's Ben Stiller wore a vintage Carmelo Anthony T-shirt last game. Dustin Hoffman flew from L.A. and wore what appeared to be a Prada cashmere tank top at a Knicks game. Fashionable and comfortable. When the celeb kiss cam comes up and, like, Chalamet is not kissing the Jenner wearing a blue T-shirt, the fans don't either. So, the New York Knicks, one failure this postseason. What is it, Jack? Wasting$420 ,000 plus enough cotton to clothe a small Midwestern suburb.
20:10So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at the Knicks? To have product market fit, you must study product market misfits. Yeah, the first day of business school, you learn about product market fit. Don't launch a product or a service if there's not a market of willing buyers out there. And how do you know? Well, you start small. You test your product and you see how the people react. So the Knicks, they started big. Like a playoff game instead of a regular season game, giving away free tees for the first time. They also didn't watch how the people reacted. They kept giving away these free t-shirts for six more games, even though nobody wanted them in the first game.
20:47So the way to predict product market fit the way Jack and I see it is to study your customer. Yeah, the Knicks didn't do that either. They didn't test, and they didn't study the customer. They just did what all the other teams did. Basically, if the Knicks free t-shirt was a company, it would be bankrupt by now. They should have spent that$420 ,000 on free pizza, not free t-shirts. So besties, in order for you to get product market fit and launch a successful business, you got to study the product market misfits.
21:22For our third and final story, Dua Lipa just hooked up with Google Maps for travel recommendations. The British pop star is partnering with a map app because Google finally found its social media. Well, first of all, congratulations to the bride and groom. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner got married a mere three days ago. There we go, there we go. Some fans, some fans in the audience. Now, this is a new British power couple. It is, Jack. She is a three-time Grammy winner, and he is the 47 % likely, according to Kalshi, next James Bond. Oh, those two are levitating right now. Dua also owns the masters in publishing rights to all her music, which we thought you'd be interested in.
22:06So she can do whatever she wants, like Houdini. And she also owns her own media company. Service 95. Because she was born in 1995. Service 95 has podcasts, newsletters, book clubs, and travel recommendations. Add it all up, Jack. And Dua Lipa has a$200 million net worth and did it all with a 33rd tooth. True story. Do you guys know this? First Freddie Mercury, now Dua Lipa. If your kid has extra teeth, get that kid vocal lessons. Yeah, yeah. I don't care what the dentist says. Get him an agent. But plot twist. Dua Lipa's first big move after her wedding was not a honeymoon in a mafia. No, it was actually, shockingly, and we can't believe no one else is not covering this, a deal with Google.
22:50Yeah. Specifically, Dua Lipa is the first celebrity endorser of Google Maps. That's right. Dua is pouring her favorite travel recommendations into Google Maps with curated lists. She's going full Carmen Sandiego, dropping pins in London, New York City, must-see Mexico City. And she kicked it off with lovely Los Angeles. Because Dua has a second home in Los Angeles. She does. The famous Tyler House in Studio City, apparently. So Dua's Los Angeles hotspots are now published on Google Maps. Do you guys want to hear them? Everyone hear them? Yeah, for everyone listening, they said yes resoundingly.
23:23There's about a dozen. We're not going to do them all. But we will mention the cookbook market in Larchmont. Yeah, she said she goes every time when she's in L.A. for wine and cheese. And how about Damien in downtown L.A.? Yeah, she says Chef Damien does the best Mexican cooking outside of Mexico. And Remedy Place in West Hollywood? Yeah, she said, this is my recovery spot with the infrared saunas. The ones we mentioned earlier. Yeah, so if you click the list, besties, it opens up Google Maps, and she's dropped pins to her favorite spots with her comments. Now, this is the biggest disruption to the map since Magellan.
23:52Yeah, like longitude, latitude, attitude. dude. It's proof that the internet is entering its curation area. Yeah, because there are too many options, choice paralysis. We've said content is king, but curation is queen. What shocked us is that Gemini wasn't assigned to curate. Yeah, Google, put those GPUs to work, baby. Instead, Google is going with a human being. Google Maps wants Queen Dua to be its first curator. But a pop singer and a digital map teaming up reveals something bigger. And we mean our takeaway. So Jack, Jack, what's the takeaway for all our whaties wondering about Dua Lipa Maps?
24:29To misquote Justin Timberlake, Google Maps is bringing social back. You see, two years ago, Yetis, Google quietly mentioned that Google Maps has two billion active users. If you live in LA, chances are Google Maps is both your most used and most hated app. No joke. Raise your hand. So everybody. Yeah, but Jack and I think Google Maps is the future of social media and we'll explain. X is now an echo chamber of extremely opinionated people. And TikTok is just videos of strangers, not your friends. And since Instagram copied TikTok, Zucked. Instagram is now also just videos of strangers. So the through line here, Jack, what is it?
25:09All of social media has lost the social part. It's gone anti-social. Meanwhile, the live experience economy of concerts, events, sports, restaurants has never been bigger. So we think Google is quietly sitting on the next great real social network and they're sitting on it in maps. Here's how they could do it. Encourage each Gmail account to pin their favorite spots on Google Maps and have a public profile. What do you think we should call it? What should they call it? Snip. Snip. Yeah. Which is pins backwards. See what we did there. You see, coming to social media. No, I'm coming to Santa Monica.
25:45Where should I go? Check my snips. All my favorite spots are there. I don't want to have to write you an email. Exactly. So Google Maps, it could become social media, like actually be social, encouraging people to go out into the real world in a way no other social media does. And since Google has an email of every reservation at every restaurant, they could make it really easy for you to create a public profile. Google, they finally found their social media. All they needed was Dua Lipa.
26:18But yetis, this pod, as Jack likes to say, pod is for podcast, by the way, Jack. It's short for podcast. The podcast. This pod is not over yet. And why is that, Jack? Because we need two of you to come up here and help us whip up the takeaways and the best fact yet. So if two people could raise their hands for the takeaways, that would be great. And then for the best fact yet is Evan Gramas, who flew in from Fresno, California here. Oh, amazing. Front row. Extremely convenient. Come on up. Guys, a round of applause for everyone helping us rip up these takeaways.
27:06Okay, so we've got three Yetis with us right here. If you could introduce yourselves in your hometown. Evan Fresno. I'm Brendan from Castro Valley, California.
27:18Great. And we're going to get a little help here because our fantastic fans are going to be helping us out, including one more Yeti. Jack, who do we have with you? Otto. Otto! Thank you, Otto.
27:36Okay, so to start, let's whip up the takeaways for today. Our first story, SpaceX is scheduled to IPO next Friday. Elon negotiated to break all the rules of Wall Street. Is IPO pitched in five words? Take it or leave it. Like the stones, our second story. The New York Knicks are winning on the court but wasting$420 ,000 on free tees. To understand product market fit, look at this product market misfit. There we go. And our third and final story. Dua Lipa partnered with Google Maps to publish curated travel recs. Do a style. We're calling it Google Maps is the next social network. Call it SNP. It's pins backward.
28:27Yep. Map fluencers. Map fluencers, baby. And now time for our best fact yet. From Evan Gramis, who flew in from Fresno, California. L.A. has invented many things. Mickey Mouse, the electric guitar, and the scooter valet. But L.A. has also invented sprawl. Get this. Manhattan is nine times more densely populated than Los Angeles. but Los Angeles is so big you could fit 20 Manhattans inside the city limits LA County fits more than 200 Manhattans inside that's why asking your friend from Los Angeles for a ride from LAX is the ultimate test of friendship round of applause for the Yankees and Besties
29:24but we know a lot of you are celebrating wins in the crowd too so it's time to raise your hand if you've got a shout out for the pot we just got engaged who are you guys uh i'm molly rubin and you shouted her out on her birthday on friday as well i'm sam congratulations guys what a kickoff hi my name is jadis i'm from lovely los angeles um i just want to say i've been listening since 2018 and haven't missed an episode. I want to give a shout out to my husband for watching our baby girl, Khalees, so I could be here today. And a shout out to my sister, Heidi, for tagging along. I hope that she's a bestie and yeti now.
30:07Nice. Amazing. We're announcing our IBO initial baby offering for Baby Kyra. Do in September. Do in September. Baby Kyra, by the way, has her own t-shirt right now already. Congrats, guys.
