[SPEAKER_02] This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, so VJ Wednesday, April 8th, and today's pod is The Best One Yet. This is a TBOY. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Now, Yeti's full disclosure before we kick things off. We are recording this before the 8 p.m. deadline the president set last night for Iran. The deadline was for either a deal or quote-unquote destruction of Iran's civilization. Everyone's watching and we will know more tomorrow. But in the meantime, we have a live show tonight in New York City. We are so freaking excited about it.

[SPEAKER_02] We are so freaking out for hair and makeup, baby. We can't wait to see you at our sold-out show at Irving Plaza. So Jack, the mix for today's pod, what have we got on the TV? For our first story, Netflix just launched an entire gaming app for kids that includes Sesame Street. But Jack and I discovered one wild business mystery. What happened to the 8-foot-tall puppet known as Big Bird? For our second story, the hot new move at restaurants, phone bands. Yep, there's no bigger flex than cutting the invisible cord. And our third and final story, why is an iconic hedge fund trying to buy the biggest music

Yep, no one in New York has wrinkles anymore. Because the hot new trend in between work calls? Yes, Botox in the middle of the workday.

[SPEAKER_02] That's right. The new coffee break in Manhattan is a Botox blitz. Instead of grabbing a double-digit latte at a coffee shop, you're getting a double-lip injection at a med spot. Did you just put a 3 p.m. Botox blitz on my calendar? I'm sorry, I'm booked. I'm getting... Co-workers are bonding over this. And does that make it expensable? I think so. According to Business Insider, coffee break Botoxing is now up 87% in the last year. Which is up infinity percent from the year before because this was never a thing. To boost company morale, you used to do a happy hour, man.

[SPEAKER_02] Or maybe axe throwing with Carol from accounting. But now you're freezing your face with your cubicle neighbor, Carl. A little bit of poison right here, here, and here. Thanks. Botox. It is the new networking, and we haven't even talked about the wildest part yet. It's preventative Botox. Oh, besties, there is no better business model than the word preventative. Preventative hair loss pills. Preventative couples therapy. Toss the word preventative in front of a product, and everyone is now accustomed. I need my cha-chi...
