Ladies and gentlemen, besties and yetis, the moment you've all been waiting for, it's Nick and Jack! the new Friday, March 12th, and today's live show from D.C. The best one yet. The top T-Boy! The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. This is the IPO tour. Our in-person offering. Hey, know what that means, Jack?

Jack, our three fantastic stories for today's show, what do we got for the Eddies? For our first story, we're in the middle of a slop-bowl recession, but one fast casual chain is crushing it right now. It's Kava. Kava is so confident. It just launched a secret society, an invite-only falafel clothes. For our second story, the war in Iran continues to be the driving force of the global stock market. And the leading actor?

From Top Gun to Tehran, it's the F-35 fighter jet. And our third and final story. For decades, malls have been in decline, but the shopping mall is making a comeback. Gen Z! You're driving a mall renaissance. Because the most important year in modern history was 2006. But Nick, why are we doing a business show in Washington, D.C.? I hear you, Jack, because this city doesn't do GPUs and ROI. It does NSA and FBI.

But pause the pod. We would actually argue that D.C. is the ultimate innovation hub of the United States. Jack and I would say that D.C. is the capital of venture capital. And yes, we cleared those numbers with the C.C. The internet? It was a 1960s Pentagon funded project. GPS incubated by the military during the Cold War. Siri's first funding round came from Uncle Sam.

Waymo, born at DARPA, a government-funded self-driving competition. And Google Earth was started with CIA money. Not a conspiracy theory. Not a conspiracy theory. It's a paycheck. Even the Nintendo Wii control that your mom is still using to do her workouts. Yeah. That motion sensing tech was

actually invented for NASA. Your memory foam mattress. Also NASA. Silly putty. A wartime whoopsie. Can we go meta on this neck? Please, Jack. And we don't mean Zuck meta.

We mean meta meta. Because D.C. is the real Silicon Valley. D.C. created Silicon Valley. When the computer chip industry launched in California, first customer, Pentagon. Well, we're not done yet. The microwave oven. The Jeep pour by Ford.

Dut tape. If this town wasn't funded by everyone else's tax dollars, we'd call everyone else freeloaders. The CIA actually has a venture capital firm. It's called InQTel. They've invested into 800 startups across 35 U.S. states.

But if one of their startups doesn't work out, they disappear. They get disappeared. The U.S. Patent Office, it's the OGA16Z. And Ben Franklin, he's the beta version of Steve Jobs. No Washington, no Andrescent. No lobbyists, no Horwitz. Yeties of D.C., whether you're working in public service,

the private sector, or a public-private partnership. The Minaj Api. Thank you for making the business world possible. Thank you for making it a profit puppy. Our economy's biggest strength, our democracy. And right now, Jack, we're in the heart of this thing. It is fantastic to be whipping up the best one yet live for you right here just outside D.C. The real capital of capital.

All right, we're not going to be at the desks the whole time. No, no, no, no, no. So the cherry blossoms haven't arrived yet. But the besties and Yetis have. Yes. This is huge. Jack and I even got lobbied by a real lobbyist on the way to this venue. Washington, D.C., its best athlete is actually a Russian.

And its wizards don't know magic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. That is true, Jack. Although, we should say DMV. Because technically, D.C., Maryland, Virginia. Maryland does crab cakes. And Virginia does crab bakes. And D.C. does think tanks.

Exactly. That's what it is. So Jack and I were preparing this show, actually, and we were doing it inside of a coffee shop that was inside of a spin studio that was inside of a sweet cream. But to sprinkle on some logistics, Yetis, if you're just listening to the show

on your podcast app or YouTube right now, you should know we're live in Arlington Draft House just outside D.C. Anyone here from this side of the river? How many of you are from the other side of the river? the other side of the river. We're going to hear from out of states. Wow.

What kind of states we talk? New York. There we go. Florida. Are we going to... Texas? Okay. I was going to say time zones, but...

Wait, did you go to the Austin show? Oh, you know, the Austin show. Just throwing this out there. Anyone from another country out here? Bolivia. Hey! So, Yeties, you should...

If you're listening, what you're going to get tonight. Our three fantastic stories that you know and love, plus the takeaways, but performed live. And tomorrow, you will hear the interview with our special surprise guest. And if you're here in person, you're going to get some special sprinkle dinkle and razzled ass. That's right. For example, we got a little T-boy insider trivia inspired by insider trading. We're also going to do our T-boy quarterly earnings report for Q4 with an investor Q&A to follow. And spoiler, the surprise guest, it's Keros. wisher. Case wish herself. She's here tonight. But before the night is over, we need several of you

to come up on stage and help us whip up the takeaways. We do, Jack. Yes, we do. Although this is the IPO tour, Jack, so we also got to ring the bell. We have an opening bell, we have a closing bell. I already did the opening bell. That's true. Should I do it again? You should. Just check. You got to double check these things, right? That works. It works. Oh, and one of you is going home with the T-boy IPO bell tonight. I see those hands. Hang on to that for a second. But Jack, we've got three fantastic stories for today's show. I think we did promise that. I believe we did.

Yes, we did. We did. We did. We did. So, Yeties and besties. Introduce yourself to your fellow Yeti or Bestie next to you. Say hello for the next 15 seconds, and Jack and I will whip up your first story. For our first story. I'm sorry. Am I reading this right? is Kava crushing it right now? Because in a world where Slop Bowls are struggling, Kava is financially dominating.

So Kava launched a falafel club because where there's mystery, there's margin. Oh, it's a secret falafel club. But full disclosure, before we start the story, the term slop balls, we don't really like it. I've never liked it. It's an offensive term. It feels a little bit like fast, casual, bigotry. I think Burger King planted that in the media.

Yeah, what are we saying instead? Yes, Bulls, because when you're at Koppel, You say yes to everything they said. Yeah, it's a true story. And Jack does. Well, one city happens to be queen of the Slop Bowl power salad heap, and it is Washington, D.C., the capital, a kale. Because get this, both Kava and Sweet Green were founded in here.

Yes, they were. But in this economy, fast casual is being squeezed like a lemon egg. Like an organic Meyer lemon, Jack. Sweet green stock, it's down 90% from its all-time high. Chipotle shareholders down 50%. And the reason, believe it or not, is AI. Because the white collar workforce is anxiety maxing. They're cutting back on their $19 lunch grain ball. Okay, but there is one wild exception to the slop bowl recession. And it's

Kava. 21% jump in Q4 revenue. A 21% profit margin. I'm sorry, Jack, toss some paprika on that popularity. His Mediterranean chain is quietly crushing it right now. And Jack and I were fascinated in particular that their profitability at Kava is, twice that of their fellow peer, Sweet Green. So we jumped in Teaboy style to find out why. Turns out hummus bowls are simply more efficient to produce than salads are. Yeah. Hummus, it can be made in one central kitchen and salads,

and they gotta be made on site. Hummus also has really long shelf life, whereas Sweet Green's arugula is very high maintenance. Oh. It spoils in like two days. Oh, yeah. So, Kava. They made a 21% of profit for each dollar of sales,

and Sweet Green is making just 10% percent. percent profit on each dollar of sales. Which is why stock of Kava is up 80% since November. Okay, but Bessie's, this is what we find fascinating. The real Kava surprise is something we shouldn't even be talking about right now. A secret club. In the Kava earnings call last week, the CEO referenced the word Oasis twice. And not the band Oasis, by the way.

A secret Kava club called Oasis, if you know, you know. Now, it's the first time the CEO acknowledged this new loyalty tier that's so, No exclusive, it's by invitation only. Now, as we all know, the first rule of falafel club is you don't talk about falafel club. Which is why there was no press release, no PR, no advertising. Just some obscure screenshots posted on social media by some confused Kava customers. Okay, on Reddit, there were a handful of Kava crazies who were humble bragging that they got the call.

Hint. And this is a hint as to like what the call is about. That screenshot we saw on Reddit. The Oasis member had 48,000. loyalty points from carbon. Can you sprinkle on some context, please? That requires nearly 300 Kava bowls to be eaten in one year. Wow.

Which is more than five bowls per week. It's like the rewarding frequent flyers with the falafels. And according to the CEO, this summer oasis, it's gonna get you access to secret events if you've been chosen by the company. Okay, but there are no deeds. We don't even know. It seems to be basically Amex's black card, but for Muamara. Yeah, you need Kava to open an airport lounge next, please.

Now, Kava's... You would love... that. Now, Kava's loyalty program is already generating one-third of total revenues. True. But the super secret version could drive even more loyalty as a percentage of sales. Hold on to your pretty pita. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at Kava? Where there is mystery, there is margin.

Now, yes, we've told you before where there's mystery, there is margin. We may stick it on a hat pretty soon. For instance, wine, perfume. The mystery behind the label is what gets us customers to pay more. And Kava's mystery tier is a new twist on that because it keeps the criteria to get into the club a mystery. Just like an airline, the existing loyalty program is clear. For Kava, spend $200 bucks, you hit the first level of loyalty. But by keeping the finishing line unknown, you may need to spend endlessly just to get that oasis invite.

You don't know where the finish line is. So even if you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner falafas, there's no guarantee you'll get the call. So, unlike any other chain, to add it all up, Kava is capitalizing on demand to unleash a profit puppy. A secret invite only loyalty club. And that's a reminder that where there's mystery, there's margin. For our second story. For the eighth straight day, the war in Iran is the story driving the entire stock market and the economy. But what's driving the war in Iran? It's actually America's F-35s. Look, Yadis, we're going to start by sprinkling on some context. The big news today, as it's been for the last two weeks covered on the show, it's the war in Iran. You can't escape it.

Oil and stock markets have been pretty chill this week, believing the president's claim that the war is almost over. But to make sure, 32 countries just announced yesterday the biggest ever release in oil reserves. 400 million barrels are going to be released by those 32 countries. That would be twice as big as the emergency release that happened when Russia invaded Ukraine. Speaking of Russia, Jack, Russia happens to be a huge winner of this war. The U.S. unsanctioned Russian oil last week. The EU badly needs it, and the price that Russia can sell oil has nearly doubled in just two weeks. Meanwhile, we've got cargo ships getting attacked, and we're talking about underwater mines in the Strait of Horn moves.

Serious stuff that poses big risks to human health, of course, but also U.S. and global economies. As we've said before, oil seeps into everything, and this is a key story here in D.C. in particular. But what Nick and I find fascinating about this story is the main character of this war, because it's the F-35. The F-35, the flying workhorse of America's air power. The U.S. Marines, Air Force, and Navy each owned their own fleet of F-35 Lightning 2s. Jack, if I could put this in Lord of the Rings terms, this would be the one plane to rule them all. And it's not just the United States. There are 17 allied nations that have bought F-35s.

This is NATO's number one machine. Jack, could you sprinkle on some financial context for us, please? $80 million each to purchase. plus $40,000 more poor hour flown. And the U.S. already has 630 F-35s with 1,800 more on order. Best ease. When this plane is retired in the year 2080, the F-35 will have been the most expensive weapon in world history, $2 trillion. To quote Dr. Evil, $2 trillion.

That's like Napoleon's impress. Now, that is a bigger expense than the Apollo. program. And it costs more than like all 12 of the Fast and the Furious movies. Now, that huge prize tag has led to a lot of criticism, wondering if we can spend the money better, including from Elon Musk. Plus, you got geopolitics causing some countries like the Swiss to cancel their F-35 orders. But put all that aside, because right now the F-35 is America's key weapon. In the air on Wall Street and in culture, actually. Yeah, funny thing is, you probably picture the F-35 when you think of Tom, Cruz, and Top Gun, right? Like that, look, that's what he's

That's what I assumed. That's what it looked like. But it's actually not. No. The big reason the F-35 is not on the cast of characters and Top Gun is that the F-35 is a single-seat aircraft. Yeah, so you wouldn't have had room for goose if they'd had the F-35 in Tom Cruise's movie. The plot required a two-seat aircraft. Also fascinating is that the F-35 is actually a rare frenemy product because it's made by three different rivals. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, B-A-E systems. They all co-produce co-parent, really, the F-35.

And Jack, they all have huge headquarters right here in the DMV area, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, just outside the Pentagon. So, honestly, if a lobbyist from one of those companies doesn't buy us a drink after this, I'm going to be disappointed. Because they're everywhere. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for all our buddies, curious about the F-35? Old industries die slow.

Now, yet he's... Elon Musk has tweeted that manned fighter jets are obsolete, which, by the way, is actually basically the plot of Top Gun 2. And last week, we did tell you about Iran's $35,000 drones. That's like one 10,000th the price of an F-35. And shooting those drones down has cost us billions of dollars already. But we have also covered Anthropics beef with the Department of War. How Anthropic refuses to let women's be fully autonomous.

Yeah. So the F-35 is far from obsolete. Far from it. It's been described as the invisible fighter that's evading radar and dropping missiles onto all the Iranian targets. In fact, F-35s are shot over 3,000 payloads in just two weeks, and investors, interestingly, have noticed. The stocks of Lockheed Martin, North of Grumman, and B.A.E have each driven at least 25% so far this year, and they're all at all-time highs. And who does that remind us of, Jack? The oil industry reminds us the oil industry. This whole story reminds me of the oil industry.

Totally, totally, totally. Ten years ago, it's seen that oil was on the outs globally with electrification to replace. Okay, but with another Middle East war, Exxons at all-time highs, turns out that oil prediction dead wrong. So it appears to add it all up that Elon was wrong that F-35 jets are obsolete today and we were wrong that oil was on the outs 10 years ago because oil because old industries die slow and sometimes disruption takes a lifetime. Now a quick word from our sponsor. For our third and final story, the most dissed business model is back baby. Shop and malls. They are enjoying a is Gen Z rejects e-commerce. You see, 2006 was peak shopping mall.

And it also happened to be the last year before the iPhone. That combination is what Gen Z wants right now. Besties, exactly 20 years ago, shopping malls held a powerful grip on culture and commerce. Simon Property Group reported in 2006 record sales per square foot of their 295 different shopping malls. Abercrombie, Spencer's, Claire. It was 2006, that was the zenith of the Zara. But then, the financial crisis, smartphones, Amazon, Timo, it triggered a 20-year shopping mall slide. Oh, Forever 21.

Not forever. Shopping malls became literally the sets for zombie movies. But Jack, jump into your buddies 2004 at Honda and get Stacy's mom back on the CD player, man. Because the 20-year rule of nostalgia strikes again. It is 2026, but the food court feels like it's 2006. You smell that, Jack? That's the anti-Anse pretzels. Nature is healing.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that mall rat culture has returned, but surprise, it's being led by Gen Z. Jack, could you sprinkle on the hero stat for us, please? Shoppers between the ages of 18 and 24 years old did 62% of their spending in store last year, physically in person. That is a full 10 percentage points higher than people's. 25 and older. It's like making us millennials look at. But it's fascinating. The first digitally native generation, Gen Z, is being less digital and

asking to be less digital in their shopping. Okay, PAC Sun, which is a store, I was not aware of, but Jack fully explained to me. This kid's never been to a shopping mall. He's born in New York City, raised in the upper-southout. Jack said it's like Madison Avenue, but compacted. They've actually added stores in the last year, which is a big deal if you know It's the first time they've added a store in 18 years. And stock in Simon Property Group, which I mentioned earlier, it has doubled since 2022. We need to let this sink in for a second. Like, pause the pod. The most cliche case of zombie retail is shopping mall. It's now a stock market winner. Nice little Saturday. I'm going to go to Sinebun,

Hollister, maybe the Rainforest Cafe, I don't know if all at time. But Jack, it is not 2006. You will notice that the internet has found a way, though, to seep its way into these mall stores. Yes. Stores and malls must be photogenic with built-in colorful selfie stations and Hollywood-level lighting. And clerks, they're carrying tablets around now to show you what that cute top actually looks like on. Yeah, they're like, don't take, don't take my word for it. Look how this influencer looks in that top, you're concerned. Sebasties. There's a resurrection of the shopping mall. This Leonardo da Vincian Renaissance,

it reflects something much deeper in our economy and in our minds. And it happens to be our takeaway. Yes, it is. So, Jack, what's? the takeaway for our buddies over in the shopping mall Renaissance. Young people want to go to the B-phone era, the era before the iPhone. Yetis, the year 2007. That's when the iPhone came out. The year 2006, that was the last year pre-Iphone and peak mall. And the year 2006 is when Nick and I were 18.

Yeah. We were the last people in this world to have a full childhood without smartphones. And I am so grateful for that. What would you like do? What would I do? I mean, my dad always took us to Barnes & Noble. And I would go into the CD section and, like, test out the CDs with those nice headsets. And my brothers and I would do one earphone each.

And I'd be like, this is epic. Well, Gen Z wants that. They want what Jack just described, because every other generation has had that, but they've been denied that. So teens aren't just flocking back to food courts. That's the very first sign of this trend. Yeah, people are buying iPods so they can listen to music. Just the music. People are buying landline telephones to just make telephone.

And grow in demand for watch parties instead of streaming together at home. That's like now a thing. Gen Z doesn't want remote work. They want to be in the office. They don't want online dating apps. They want to actually meet people and have real relationships. IRL. Speaking of which, Jack, the show The Office has been having its own renaissance thanks to Gen Z.

Billy Elish loves the eyeless. And they interviewed her and asked her why. Because Gen Z is not aware of what that office scene is. Besties, raise your hand if you're in the audience and work in marketing. Okay, so good portion of the audience. Every 10 years or so, marketers pivot their attention to the younger generation of age, right? Well, the digitally-born one is rejecting the algorithmically programmed world that they inherited. And Jack and I don't think iPhones are the problem.

It would be the apps that are built on the iPhone. Some of those are the problem. The ones built to addict and distract us from the real world. And that's why young people want to go back to the B-phone era, 2006, the year before the iPhone. But besties, this pod's not over yet. No, it is not. We would like to invite some of you to come on up here and help us with the takeaways and the best fact yet. Jack and Judith Anteem, can you please tell us what are the takeaways for all our buddies for Thursday, the new Friday? Kava stock is up 80% since November, so it launched a secret mystery club of loyalty.

Because where there's mystery, there is profit margin. The main character of the Iran war is the F-35 fighter jet whose creators are all ATHs. All-time highs. Oh, that was our bad. That's like our internal code right there. It's because old industries die slow and sometimes disruption takes a lifetime. And the final takeaway. Shopping malls are the hottest sector of real estate.

What was once dead is alive again. The zombies are backed because Gen Z wants a taste of the B-phone era, before iPhone. All right. for the best fact yet. This one from our buddy Baumlick, hilarious, from lovely Falls Church, Virginia. You got it, Baumland. All right, get this. The National Cathedral just across the river in Washington, D.C., is strong with the force, the dark side of the force. Because in the 1980s, a 13-year-old named Christopher Rader

entered a national geography competition for children to design new, imaginative gargoyles for the National Cathedral. His submission, it was the dark, it was Dark Vader. And it won. So the Star Wars character got sculpted into limestone on the church. Dark Vader is actually looking down at you as you exit Sunday service. Nice job. It's a true start. We fact checked it. Nice job. I mean, that, guys, we just, I think we met in a few new podcasters here, Jack. Some fresh competition. Guys, thank you so much for joining us on stage.

Let's give it up for our participants. Give it up. Thank you all so much. I hope to see you guys after the show. We'll tell you that. But like we said, this show still is not over yet. As we must end every show, we know there are some birthdays, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, new businesses minted. Someone may have IPOed actually during the IPO tour.

We don't know, but we want to get it on tomorrow's show for everyone. who did not get to be here in person. So, if you could in the audience, please raise your hand. If you've got a shout out, you want to share with everyone in the world, please raise that hand, and we got you. All right, Jack, I got one right here to kick it off. So my name is Tommy Ophalabi, and today is my brother's deadjet birthday. I just want to wish him happy birthday.

So this is here to you, Louise. Happy birthday. Have more welcome to more knee pains and back pains. Nick, I'm right here with Tanya Turner from Atlanta, Georgia. Spoiler, I think we're coming to Atlanta next year. And she is celebrating a birthday. Tomorrow.

Happy birthday. Hi, this is Charlie Zion. I just want to shout out to my wife, Dora, who's at home with our one-month-old. She let me come to this. I assumed I wouldn't be able to go, but she insists that I go since I'm such a fan of the pie. Thank you. The name of the one-month-old? Robbie.

Thank you, Robbie, too, for... Thank for being a good boy tonight, Robbie. Hey, Nick, I'm here with an entrepreneur who just hooked me up with Dad Strength, an IPA for dads, who can't have a little bit of lightweights, let's be honest, and can't have a hangover tomorrow morning. This is awesome.

Can you introduce yourself hometown? Absolutely. I'm Craig. I'm one of the dads of Dad Strength Brewing, and these beers are so you can crush a few without getting crushed. We're based in D.C. Half the alcohol, 2.9% ABV. So you can catch a buzz without catching a hangover. And fewer calories than a Mickelope Ultra.

But we launched a hazy IPA today. 2.9%. You don't like IPAs over there. I brought you a six-back. Well, no, Jack and I know how you can double sales. We need one for moms next. Love the idea. Then it would need to be twice as strong.

Nick, I found the Washington Wizard that does have magic. Thank you very much. Jack, I got a Yeti right here. Hi, my name is Jolie. I'm from Connecticut. and it was just recently my mom's birthday and she did not believe me when I said
