Listen now
Description
Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, & Burger King are all pursuing the same marketing strategy: Pay your tuition — Companies are dishing out scholarships because brands are the new institutions. Ozempic is facing its first ever dupe, a version that costs 85% less — Hims & Hers found a loophole, and are launching a weight-loss business line off it. And The Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy yesterday, so we’re comparing the seafood chain to The Olive Garden — One gave away carbs (and thrived), while the other gave away protein (and died). Plus, Costco is officially hosting birthday parties in aisle 6 — So we want to know which retail chain you’d hit up to host a party. $KO $HIMS $NVO $DRI Watch us on YouTubeGet the Saturday Newsletter: tboypod.com/newsletter  Submit Shoutout Requests Submit The Best Fact YetFollow us: on InstagramAnd connect with us on Nick’s LinkedIn & Jack’s LinkedIn About Us: The daily pop-biz news show making today’s top stories your business. 15 minutes on the 3 biz stories you need, with fresh takes you can pretend you came up with — Pairs perfectly with your morning oatmeal ritual.
