🎙️ “Our Advice for TBPN” — Sam Altman’s pod deal. Artemis’ moon-mining. Nuuly’s fashion statement. +UberDriver Flag Football

0:01This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Tuesday T-Boy, Tuesday, April 7th. 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. Jack, I'm no Ringling brother, but I'm pretty sure after the show is the after party. Am I right? So we're in New York City. Our live show is tomorrow. After the show? Yes. Nick and I are going out to the bars to hang out with you. We always do. We always see you. We're going to L 'Express on Park Avenue, just a couple blocks from Irving Plaza. You can get like a 10 p.m. burger at that place. I think it's open 24 hours.

0:30I think there's a few tickets left. There are like six tickets left. There might be none, but if you're free Wednesday night at 7 o 'clock, we want to see you. Grab tickets. Link in episode description. And we're sold out. Jack, three fantastic stories for today's pod. What have we got in the TV? For our first story, NASA's Artemis II just went around the dark side of the moon. Yeah. Seriously, real thing. True story, but another startup just raised$60 million to put sunglasses on the sun. For our second story, Urban Outfitters' rental business Newly just hit half a billion bucks in sales. Wow.

1:02It's twice as big as Rent the Runway. Newly, they got you to stop canceling by making canceling easier. And our third and final story is Sam Altman. He wants robots to pay your taxes so you can take Fridays off. It's a real headline. And we also have advice for TVPN, OpenAI's newly acquired podcast. Yes, we do, Jack. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Oh, what a mix of stories. Love the mix in the big city, Jack. College basketball is over. Hockey playoffs haven't begun yet. Baseball, it's barely even started. So the most important sport in the world right now? Flag football.

1:38It's flag football, isn't it, Jack? And get this. Tom Brady just lost a flag football game to his Uber driver. That's right. A bunch of amateurs beat our best pro players. Wasn't even close. Here's the context. To drive hype for the newest Olympic sport, flag football, an exhibition game happened last month in Los Angeles. In lovely Los Angeles. The NFL's best versus our actual Team USA flag football players. And here's the deal. Tom Brady captained the NFL team and had a glitterati of current NFLers. But instead of shoulder pads, those NFL players had flags around their waists. Now, when this new Olympic sport was added, Yetis, we assumed it would be all NFLers.

2:13The NFL even clarified Travis Kelsey could play for Team USA. It doesn't conflict with the NFL schedule. Okay, but here's the problem. The Tom Brady-led team just got their butts a whoop-a-doodle-doo. It was a real-life plot of the dodgeball movie. It happened in real life. It was like the average Joe's beating Globo Jim. And here's the best part. The amateur flag football coach was a gym teacher in Miami. Jack, the amateur flag football quarterback is a 5 '7", 140-pounder working multiple jobs to support his flag football career. This guy's a part-time Uber driver, part-time landscaper. He's a part-time baggage handler at the airport when he's not doing all the other part-time stuff.

2:50And he's the best flag football quarterback this country has. Now yet, to sprinkle on even more context, Jack and I played on the same flag football team after college, naturally. And the championship team's quarterback was a 50-year-old dude with a huge beer belly. And he outplayed every single ex-D1 athlete on our team. What we're trying to say is flag football is simply a different sport than contact football. So now the 2028 U.S. flag football team probably won't even have any pros on it. Tried out last month. Seriously, he's not making the cut. Besties do need any more motivation today than that.

3:22An Uber driver just took Tom Brady down in quarterbacking. Who cares about your quarterback rating? That's a 4.98 Uber rating, baby. Jack on Sidon Three Stars. 15 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. 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.

3:58Start the show. Start the show. First, a quick word from our sponsor.

4:08Monarch. Yeah, it is. Happy tax season to all those who celebrate. It's like March madness, but it's April madness.

5:14Lisa Mattress. Yeah, it is. Jack and I have this theory. The S &P 500 would be up to 10 ,000 points if every investor slept on a Lisa mattress. We have zero scientific evidence to back that up. We don't have any. But we do have personal experience. Because Jack and I just recently upgraded our old mattresses to Lisa's. And the snooze, it is real. Our portfolios are up since we've been getting eight hours of sleep on a Lisa. Just saying. It's not financial advice, but it kind of is. is Wall Street. You got to listen to us here. Lisa has you take a two-minute sleep quiz to find your perfect bed.

5:45And it's made in the USA and it's backed by, get this, a 120-night sleep trial. And for those of you who worship the New York Times Wirecutter, yeah, Lisa's their top pick. I worship the Wirecutter, Nick, and that's why the Lisa I got recently is actually the second Lisa I have in my home.

6:29For our first story, NASA's Artemis II space mission just went around the dark side of the moon. And now there's a space race for crazy space startups like sunglasses for the sun. We repeat, Ray-Bans on Mother Sun. But first, yetis. Okay, Jack, can you sprinkle on some context? Can you tell them about the video you just showed me on the taxi ride down to the studio? You didn't see this? I hadn't seen this. There's an airplane that had a perfect view of the Artemis II space launch from Cape Canaveral, floor. I'm already stressed. And somebody recorded a video on their iPhone. It's incredible. The rocket ship is blasting off and you see it go from earth up into outer space from the window of your airplane.

7:11We've reached our cruising altitude and yes, that is a rocket ship on the right side of the aircraft. This is motivation to always choose the window seat, not the aisle. But yesterday, the four person crew aboard the NASA rocket broke a record by traveling 252 ,760 miles from earth. That is so far away, and it breaks the record set by Apollo 13. Yeah, they broke Tom Hanks' record. And Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon. They also lost radio connection for 40 minutes on a Monday. Because of a Pink Floyd situation. Yeah, it is. Yesterday, NASA's spaceship went around the backside of the moon, which is the dark side of the moon.

7:45Same as the album. Real thing, by the way. The dark side of the moon. Actual in existence. So, when the moon goes around planet Earth, it doesn't spin. So, we're constantly looking at the same face of the moon. And we're on the same orbit as the moon. It's like the dark side of the moon. It isn't actually dark. The sun sees it sometimes, but we never do. It's basically the butt of the moon. But we saw it yesterday, thanks to NASA. And it looks fantastic. It actually looked a lot like the other side of the moon. No moon judging over here, Jack. But stocks and publicly traded space companies, they soared last week on this and other space news.

8:16Well, SpaceX filed to IPO. True. And NASA packed its bags and went back to the moon for the first time in 50 years. Remember, this is just Artemis II. Artemis III, we're actually going to land there. In Artemis 4, we're going to build a moon station. Yeah, just like Disney, a lot of sequels coming. But what Jack and I found fascinating, what caught our attention in particular was... A startup doing the opposite of what Ryan Gosling is doing at your local movie theater right now. A startup is Stardust Solutions, and they're developing an aerosol that can mimic a meteor strike. Because what happened to the dinosaurs?

8:47Why don't you tell us, Jack? A meteor hit planet Earth 60 million years ago and created an unbelievably large dust cloud that blocked the sun from hitting the surface of the Earth. Yeah, it was that dust cloud that basically froze all the T-Rexes. But instead of blocking the sun, Stardust wants to just shade the sun a tiny little bit. Yeah, just a bit. You know, instead of wiping out plants and dinosaurs, Stardust wants to chill the Earth a tad. It's basically a venture-backed gigantic sunglasses shade for the Earth to block the sun's rays. Yeah, they're using dust clouds like a thermostat for the sun to cool down the temps and slow, maybe reverse, a little bit of climate change.

9:23Stardust business model? To play God by changing the temperature of the planet. Yeah, as you can imagine, spoiler, highly controversial. Like, what parts of planet Earth are going to get shaded by these aerosols? How much are going to get shaded to what— And what happens if something goes wrong? Who's going to fix it? What is the sunblock lobby going to say about all of this, Jack? Either way, venture capital just plowed$60 million into Stardust, the business that sounds like a climate change Hail Mary. Speaking of Hail Marys, Jack, isn't this startup also the plot of the new movie Hail Mary? No spoilers here, but Ryan Gosling in the Hail Mary Project movie is on a mission to do the opposite.

9:57Yeah, he's making the sun hotter, but it's basically the same idea. One business trying to do stuff in the atmosphere to save planet Earth. And Gosling is always involved. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over in this crazy space go-to-the-moon moment? The next addressable market is lunar infrastructure. aka Luna Structure. So Yeti's a classmate of mine from business school, Philip Johnston. His startup just hit a$1 billion valuation to put data centers in space. Exhibit B, the top class at Stanford everyone wants to take right now is on AI infrastructure, and space is a key part of that infrastructure.

10:35Oh Jack, how about in the stock market? We covered intuitive machines last year. They handle cargo and logistics designed for moon applications. And the stock is up 30 % in the last week because it just won a$180 million NASA contract for the next legs of the Artemis mission. Besties, the key for all these businesses is not satellites or space tourism like we've all been seeing for years, right? It's to build infrastructure for mining, warehousing, shipping, and energy production on the moon and in outer space. Uh, Jack, a special kind of helium that costs$2 million a pound here on Earth? That stuff's abundant up on the moon.

11:08And it can be used for nuclear fusion reactors. Besties energy, resources on the moon, and sunglasses in outer space, that can save the earth. And it's driving a whole new industry. Not infrastructure. Lunastructure. For our second story, Urban Outfitters rental business, Newly, has nearly half a million users spending half a billion bucks right now. Newly beat Rent the Runway by making it easier to cancel. I feel like that's a question mark situation. But yet he's Urban Outfitters. It's Abercrombie and Fitch, but instead of cologne, they're selling candles. They're selling$68 vintage tees. Your dad has a dozen of them in the basement.

11:48I know I'm in an anthropology because I'm picking up Molly, a sweet treat gift kind of a thing. And the person next to me is shazamming the playlist in the store. Urban Outfitters, publicly traded company. They also own anthropology and free people. And Urban Outfitters business has never been better. Talk to me, Jack. Revenues rose 11 % last year for this Philly-based fashion company. Record profits and the stock rose 43%. Urban Outfitters is now worth$6 billion. Let's sprinkle on some context. That's half as valuable as The Gap, but twice as big as American Eagle. And it's the same size as one lift.

12:19But the most interesting part of Urban isn't what they're selling, it's what they're renting. That's right, because Besties Urban Outfitters clothing rental business, Newly, is now a half a billion dollar brand. Newly. Too used for some reason. I still haven't figured out why. but it's the business that's a new species of business. It's a new species because Jack and I have noticed this is the rare profitable loss leader. Profit puppy meets lost llama. That's like a centaur. It's half profits, half losses. You never see this. Because when Nuuly rents you clothes, you actually end up buying clothes too.

12:52All right, follow us on this one, Yetis. For about a hundred bucks a month, you get six to eight new items and then send them back at the end of the month in a bag or a shipping container. It's basically a duffel bag. Now, Jack, for this shake of, like, editorial integrity, can you please give a full disclosure? The reason I know is because my wife is a power user. I think she's the power user. It's a straightforward millennial business model of renting a wardrobe. But Newly's numbers, thanks to Jack's wife, Alex, are anything but straightforward these days. They just hit$567 million in annual Newly rental sales.

13:23That is nearly twice as much more than Rent the Runway. And Newly now has 420 ,000 active monthly users. Which is more than twice as much as Rent the Runway. Rent the Runway invented the clothing rental business model, but Newly is running away with it. They're hockey-sticking right now up and to the right. And the wildest part? Renting of clothing doesn't cannibalize Urban Outfitters' sales of clothing. On the contrary, Jack, it's growing Urban Outfitters' sales. Because sales of Urban and its sister brands have only accelerated once Newly became an offering. It's like Newly is driving an anthropology pop these days.

13:56So, Newly, think of it not as a clothing rental business. It's a clothing trial business. Yes, yeah. Like, Jack, you didn't rent that floral print unitard. You were just testing the floral print unitard. Sounds offensive, but it's not. With Newly Yetis, Urban Outfitters has turned your home into a dressing room and charges you for it. Charges you for it. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at Newly and Anthropology? If you run a subscription business, turn the exit sign into a welcome mat. Eddies, look, the wildest part of Urban Outfitters' business here is that they embraced cancellations.

14:33They made canceling your subscription easier. Which is the opposite of every other subscription business. Total opposite, Jeff. They add friction. They make it really hard to cancel. You gotta email the manager or call between 9 and 5. You gotta wait 30 days and maybe pay some termination fee. Gyms, phone plans, Netflix subscriptions thrive on friction. You forget or you give up. But Nuuly has made canceling very easy. It's one click on the website or the app. As their CEO put it, he intentionally built Nuuly for users to be fluid. And he added a simple pause feature. The result? 58 % of Nuuly users paused instead of canceling.

15:08I mean, if it's the same thing, what's the difference? So there's still customers, Jack. Oh, and you're more likely to re-up your account if it is paused, not canceled. Full, full disclosure, Alex paused her Nuuly for like two years. But she just recently got back on board. It was really easy to reactivate her account. That's what we're talking about. That's exactly what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about, yeah. So, newly created this gray area that kept customers in the green. It lost them for a season, but not forever. Cancellation friction is like locking the door on your customer.

15:36Yeah, it is, Jack. Once they escape, they're going to run away forever. But easy cancellation. That's like your friends who are always there for you, like even if you haven't called in a while. Just call them back. They'll welcome you right back. Hey, Timmy, how you doing? Yeah, you pick up where you left off. It's a rare, surprise, counterintuitive strategy. To stop you from canceling, they made canceling easy. Now, a quick word from our sponsor. NetSuite by Oracle. Yetis, this is AI Nick. That's kind of my R2D2 voice. Just kidding. It's you and Nick and you and Jack. We probably want to know how to make AI work for you.

Let's talk vocab. It reminds us of our brand word, brighter, because drive has two meanings. That's right. And for the podcast Drive, hosted by Ford CEO Jim Farley, those two meanings are very on-brand.

17:18Jim Farley, cousin of Chris Farley, by the way, he talks to celebrities about what they drive and what drives them. You see, if you like cars or competition, you're going to love every episode of this podcast show. I just listened to the interview with Chris Hoy. Sorry, Sir Chris Hoy. That's right, because Chris Hoy is an Olympic cyclist, a BMX biker, and a race car driver. And a knight of the British Empire. Yeah, this man knows how to drive things. Oh, and he keeps driving even with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Learning how Chris gets better every day was inspiring, even as his body gets worse every day with cancer.

17:49I mean, honestly, we love the guy. You got to hear this episode. Nick, you know I've owned Ford stock forever. This is the day I met you, Jack. I like seeing that their CEO is getting diverse experiences by talking to people like a night cyclist cancer survivor named Chris Hoy. So to listen to Drive with Jim Farley, just search for Drive with Jim Farley in your podcast app. That's Drive with Jim Farley. Vroom, vroom. For our third and final story, Sam Altman just told the government how to tax his company and how to redistribute his wealth. OpenAI wants to replace income taxes with an AI tax. Interesting.

18:25And institute a four-day work week. Plus, since a bunch of you have sent us DMs, we'll tell you what we think about the TBPN podcast deal. But first yet is, quick reminder. Sprinkle on the context. A little over two years ago, Sam Altman got fired from OpenAI for not telling the truth to his board. Yeah, but then, Jack, Sam got rehired a week later because his not-truth-telling really good for business. His embellishing has been really great for the value. So, when Sam issued a 13-page industrial policy for the intelligence age, our first thought was to take it with a grain of salt. Sam salt. Sammy salt, yeah.

18:59Our second thought, Sam must be tired of Anthropics CEO Dario getting all the attention as being the adult in the room. Yeah, you see, Dario's written a dozen safety papers already, so Sam just wrote his very first tax law. Now that is some thought leadership. So Jack and I read it, and we re-read it. And this isn't just a rewriting of American tax law, is it, Jack? This is a whole new social contract for the AI age. And honestly, we're glad Sam whipped this thing up. Because right now our AI policy is no policy, and we obviously need something on the books here. So Jack, let's pause the pod. But what exactly is in Sam's wild, master American plan for the future of this country?

19:36A robot tax, a public wealth fund, and a four-day workweek. Well, I feel like we could come up with movie plots for all of those, but let's start with the robot tax. Sam believes that AI will do most computer work pretty soon, and eventually physical work, too, with robots. So Sam proposes shifting the tax burden from tax on workers, who will get displaced, to a new tax on automated labor. Basically, tax on the bots. Hey, Amazon, congrats on replacing that warehouse worker with a robot, but now you have to pay a robot tax to replace that worker's income tax. And Jack, Sam is also saying, Hey, Amazon, if you do keep that worker, you're going to get a tax credit.

20:12The second key feature of OpenAI's tax plan is a public wealth fund. Basically make the government an owner of AI ventures, just like the government in Saudi Arabia is an owner in oil ventures. Saudi Arabia doesn't just pump a lot of oil. The government, and therefore the people, own the oil wells. It could be the same idea here in the States, but with AI. Like, hey, AI might take your job, but you own it. So here is your AI dividend check, American worker. The third key to this open AI tax plan is a four-day work week. Yep, a policy to incentivize companies to shorten the hours down from 40 a week to 32.

20:45To ensure that AI benefits our quality of life, instead of just making us work more and more and more and be more productive. Although, Sam, we know you're listening. If you really want to make this shine, you got to rebrand Friday to AI Day. Everyone's getting a three-day work week courtesy of Chachy Petit and their AI buddies. He couldn't spell Friday without AI anyway. I think he can actually. No, you can't. Where are we on that one, Claude? But Sam's goal at the end of the day, what is it, Jack? Ensure that the broad public benefits from AI, not just the owners who own the LLMs. But Jack, Sam's side goal?

21:16What about that? Improve AI's popularity among the public and appear like an AI thought leader to help his fundraising. Well, perfect timing, Jack, because Sam is already acting on that side goal. Because he just bought his favorite podcast. A little insulted we're second favorite, but we'll roll with it. Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at OpenAI? TBPN shouldn't cover OpenAI news. Look, Yetis, last week, OpenAI announced it was acquiring Sam Allman's favorite tech podcast, TBPN. A very similar deal happened to us in 2019. Yeah, Robinhood acquired our media startup and we worked there for three plus years.

21:52Tech company acquiring a media company. Now, TBPN, the tech podcast, says they will operate with editorial independence, and Sam wants TBPN to cover OpenAI news as hard as ever. But we know that's not going to happen because of the lawyers. Yep, we've been there. Every press release that OpenAI puts out, every tweet, every Instagram post, legally, is a statement that could be used against OpenAI in court. And it's the same with every podcast episode. So anything TBPN publishes about OpenAI will have to go through legal review before airing, which creates an editorial chilling effect. And that's why when we launched at Robinhood after that deal, we claimed editorial independence right off the start as well.

22:32But with one key exception. We said we wouldn't cover Robinhood news. And that's the key. We didn't pretend we could remain unbiased in covering Robinhood news because the conflict of interest was just like too obvious. And even if we ignored the conflict of interest, the lawyers wouldn't have let us cover Robin Hood. Yeah, legal on the phone. Just like we don't think they'll let TVPN cover OpenAI. And that's why TVPN, we suggest you do the same. Avoid becoming a legally sanitized version of OpenAI's PR team. You should just never cover OpenAI news. Congratulations on the epic sale. But to save the show, cut the cord on OpenAI news coverage.

23:11Jack, could you whip up the takeaways for us for T-Boy Tuesday? Not just SpaceX and NASA's Artemis. Stardust is developing aerosols to shade the sun's rays. The next addressable market, it's lunar infrastructure, a.k.a. lunastructure. For our second story, Nuuly isn't just driving rental revenues. It's driving sales of Urban's clothing, too. Nuuly's success make it easy to cancel instead of hard. And our third and final story, OpenAI published a proposal to rewrite America's tax code with AI at the center. And they acquired TVPN, which, from our experience, we suggest they don't cover open AI news.

23:46But besties, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today. First, Trump accounts have chosen a brokerage. The Bank of New York and Robinhood, come on up, you're getting the rose. Starting this 4th of July, babies born in Trump's second term get$1 ,000 automatically put into the account for the stock market. Which is awkward because Jack and I have kids on either side of that deadline. But Bank of New York Mellon will handle the back end. Robinhood would build a new app for it, including design and customer service. This is Wall Street's new golden ticket yetis. Bank of New York Mountain and Robinhood, they get to manage the next generation's moolah.

24:18For our second story, Cetrini Research sent an analyst to the Strait of Hormuz. A real business trip. To see if ships are going through it. Okay, can I fly business class for this one? This hedge fund wanted to see for themselves if ships are going through with oil or not. Yes, they sent an analyst to like, just go do this. And what he found? 15 ships a day are passing. Way less than usual, but that's not zero. It's a meaningful data point. Hedge funds, they'll do anything to make money, even send someone into a war zone. Hopefully he or she is getting a bonus. And finally, the latest inflation is getting serious pushback.

24:50Grade inflation. That's right, Harvard is trying to cap the number of A's it gives out, and students are freaking out at the lunch table. Because remember, 60 % of grades at Harvard are A's. So who cares if you're a straight A student when 60 % of students are straight A students? It is honestly more impressive to be a straight B student at Harvard. So faculty are voting later this week on whether to set a quota for the maximum number of A's, which might cause a revolt. And you've got to work for that B+. Now time for the best fact yet. This one sent in by Isaac Holt from lovely West Jordan, Utah.

25:22Push and play. Hey, Nick and Jack. My name is Isaac, and I'm all about paddle. I'm a young entrepreneur opening a paddle facility in Utah this spring, so trust me when I say this sport is the real deal. Fun fact for you, paddle originated in Mexico in the 1970s and has since become the fastest growing sport in the world. In Spanish, it's pronounced padel with that accent. And here in America, we want to honor that, so we call it paddle. Our facility is called Paddle Park. It's going to be the best paddle facility in Utah. Come check us out. See what the hype's all about. It's the coolest community sport in the world.

25:53I mean, 10 years ago, you couldn't raise money as a startup unless you were wearing all birds and going to SoulCycle. Now, you better be wearing on sneakers and playing paddle. How do you pronounce it? How do you pronounce it? But Al, because if you know, you know. Yetis, you're looking fantastic today. Jack, you were glowing right off that flight, my friend. Thank you, man. Thank you. All right, so we did something special. Because the show was sold out last week, we released a few new tickets. We literally squeezed a few seats into one of those. I think we have a dozen comped tickets. Nick and I don't have enough friends here, so we're opening them up for you to buy.

26:24Yeah, so my mom, you know, my aunt. There are only so many family members you can bring. So it's our special tickets, the VIPs. We release them. We want you to grab them before they're gone. It's going to be our best show yet, hands down. In the meantime, Jack, we've got a reservation at Pasquale Jones. We've got some pizza to eat, my friend. Let's get out of here.

26:43And before we go, a happy birthday to legendary Eddie, Bodhi Batarai, turning 12, taking his first ever train ride from Boston to New York City to see our live show. Whoa! And Jack, I should point out, this is not easy for someone in a wheelchair, but our live show is accessible, so we are so, so pumped that Bodhi's making it down and wearing a Slammin' Salmon bow tie for it. Happy birthday to Joaquin Aguilar, turning 11 in Encinitas, California, popping wheelies and acing spelling tests. And Avery Kennis over in Berlin, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, is having a sleep under party with all her buddies.

27:15The other Berlin. And happy birthday to Elise and Emotho Villarreal, a couple with the same birthday in Napa, California. Oh, no one could ever know. And Susie Lee is starting a new role as a senior manager in Minneapolis and celebrating with a chai latte. Congratulations to KV on Barry, who just finished midterms at MIT.
