Opening Banter & Thankfulness from the Tech World

(00:00–04:34)

• Nick and Jack open by unveiling their quirky Yeti plush, their annual holiday gift for listeners.
• The duo looks back on an industry event at NASDAQ, noting a collaborative, thankful vibe among tech leaders like Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Sam Altman (OpenAI), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), and Mark Zuckerberg (Meta).
• In a round of “what are you thankful for?” leaders thank each other in a chain reaction showing the web of dependencies in the AI world.
  • Memorable Quote:
    • “Jensen Huang kicked it off. He said that Nvidia is thankful for Sam Altman, because ChatGPT buys so many chips.” (01:50, Jack)
  • Nick and Jack note: The AI industry is like a “big white elephant gift giving party” with tech giants all supporting (and relying on) one another.
• The hosts carry the thankfulness tradition to their own friendship and working relationship, expressing deep gratitude for each other and their audience.
  • Memorable Quote:
    • “Nick, you’re basically my fourth Kramer brother.” (03:09, Jack)
    • “Jack, on the T boy content side, I'm so thankful about how you're like just a defender of the credibility. You're always double triple checking. And honestly, at this point, we barely use ChatGPT for research because you found so many errors with it.” (03:41, Nick)
• Quick tease: Special interview with Jim Cramer coming up tomorrow.

Story #1: Green Wednesday—Cannabis’ Thanksgiving Surge

(07:25–11:31)

• Main Point: The day before Thanksgiving, now dubbed "Green Wednesday," is the second-biggest sales day for legal cannabis in the US, rivaling 4/20.
  • Memorable Quote:
    • “The day before Thanksgiving is actually the second biggest sales day of the year for legal cannabis.” (08:03, Jack)
• “Green Wednesday” has become a new tradition:
  • Instead of wine, many Thanksgiving hosts now bring or serve cannabis (“box of Maui Wowie”), reflecting a wider trend: California Sober—substituting alcohol with weed.
  • Alcohol consumption is at an all-time low due to health concerns, weight-loss drugs (Ozempic), and Gen Z's disinterest in drinking.
  • Stat: “51% of Americans now substitute cannabis for alcohol at least weekly.” (09:35, Jack)
• Underlying Reason: Stress at Thanksgiving brings generations together—cannabis is now a relaxing, unifying alternative.
• Takeaway:
  • “The Thanksgiving dinner table can be your ultimate focus group.” (10:32, Nick)
  • Thanksgiving is a unique moment for sharing new ideas, sampling experiences, and word-of-mouth.
  • Actionable Insight: If you want something to go viral next year, try to make it part of the Thanksgiving table conversation this year.

Story #2: Wicked 2 & the Rise of the PG Economy

(11:50–16:26)

• Main Point: Wicked Part 2 is crushing it at the box office ($150M+ opening), alongside movies like Zootopia 2 and Minecraft—all rated PG.
• Insight: For the second consecutive year, PG movies are the biggest box office earners.
  • “PG is at an all-time high. It's never been a more popular film genre. PG stands for profits, guaranteed.” (13:04, Jack)
• Historical Context:
  • This formula—animated, family-friendly movies that appeal to parents and children—was cemented with Toy Story’s release in 1995 and then scaled by other studios (e.g., Shrek, Inside Out, Minions).
  • “Toy Story created a new formula. They targeted parents and kids.” (13:54, Nick)
• Why Now?
  • Superhero fatigue has set in, pushing families back to safer content.
  • Financial logic: Families buy more tickets per outing, generate more buzz and repeat viewings, and use movies as affordable, reliable childcare and bonding entertainment.
  • “A PG family is gonna buy three to five tickets ... whereas a dink couple is gonna go to an R rated movie and just buy two tickets with no dress up.” (14:23, Nick)
• Deeper Reason: Millennial parents are overwhelmed by traditional and modern pressures; PG movies offer an easy, guilt-free escape for the whole family.
  • Referenced: Vivek Murthy's “Parents Need Help” NYT op-ed; podcast of the same title.
  • “Nearly half of millennial parents today feel overwhelmed on most days.” (15:19, Jack)
  • “PG movies are a place where you can both watch a screen guilt free for two hours and just relax.” (15:50, Nick)
• Takeaway:
  • “The parents need help and PG Movies are here to provide it.” (15:04, Jack)

Story #3: Warren Buffett’s Last Thanksgiving Letter

(18:19–23:28)

• Main Point: Warren Buffett has published his last Thanksgiving letter as Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO, ahead of his retirement at 95, effective year-end.
  • “This year has been a farewell tour for the prophet of profits.” (18:57, Jack)
• Highlights from the Letter:
  • Felt like a "public will and testament": Buffett reveals his fortune will go to his children, expresses humility and gratitude, especially for Omaha’s community and institutions.
  • Warned boards to watch for dementia in executives and urged action for the company's greater good.
    • “He actually told boards to look out for signs of dementia and Alzheimer's in elderly executives like himself.” (19:52, Jack)
  • Emphasized "luck" (used the word 12 times) and appreciation for long-term values and simple living—he’s lived in the same house since 1958.
  • Denounced greed and hereditary “look at me” wealth; promoted high moral integrity and the Golden Rule.
    • “The cleaning lady is as much as a human as the chairman is, as Warren Buffett just put it.” (21:34, Nick)
  • NO mention of trendy topics: Tech, crypto, or AI.
    • “How many times did Warren Buffett mention AI in his final letter to shareholders? Zero.” (22:07, Jack)
• Takeaway:
  • “He barely mentioned the new CEO, but the whole letter was about him.” (22:21, Jack)
  • “Character matters.” Warren’s parting message is that what sets Berkshire (and his successor Greg Abel) up for continued success isn’t just smarts—it’s moral character, integrity, and dependability.
    • “It takes character. And that's what Warren's last CEO letter was really all about.” (23:28, Nick)

Quick News Bites

(24:15–25:38)

• Google and Tech Thankfulness:
  • Google is surging in the market, up 12% since Jim Cramer quoted the podcast’s takeaway on CNBC.
• Turkey Price Drop:
  • Turkey prices fell 14% due to a record harvest of turkey feed (corn, soybeans) and decreased demand from China.
• Charmin’s Mega Thanksgiving Toilet Paper:
  • Charmin rolled out a 1700-sheet, monument-sized “Thanksgiving toilet paper,” requiring a special holder.
  • “This is once again proof that just when you think you've fully innovated any product, apparently there's just a little more innovation you can squeeze out of that thing, Jack.” (25:38, Nick)

---

Fun Fact: Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

(25:40–26:22)

• The only non-political, non-sports most-watched TV event every year is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
• The original parade featured live animals from Central Park Zoo—inflatable balloons weren’t introduced until 1927.

---

Notable Quotes

• “Thanksgiving is the ultimate word of mouth moment. It's when ideas are shared and plans are hatched.” (10:36, Nick)
• “PG is at an all time high. It's never been a more popular film genre. PG stands for profits, guaranteed.” (13:04, Jack)
• “Choose your heroes very carefully and then emulate them. You'll never be perfect, but you can always be better.” (21:45, Jack quoting Buffett)
• “Kindness is costless, but also priceless.” (21:46, Nick quoting Buffett)

Transcript

[A]

This is Nick.

[B]

This is Jack.

[A]

It's Tuesday, t boy. Tuesday, November 25th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T Boy.

[B]

The top three pop business news stories you need to know today.

[A]

Besties, if you haven't seen it yet, we just dropped our annual T Boy holiday gift. What do we got, Jack?

[B]

And this year, it's a yeti plush stuffed doll for the Yetis. I got one right here.

[A]

We call it an economic support animal. I'm hugging it. It's highly huggable. I gotta point out, you can squeeze this thing if your stocks drop or your portfolio falls.

[B]

So go now. Before we run [e-mail] shop, we dropped a link in the episode description.

[A]

It's like a Labu boo dupe. It is beautiful. It is such a great gift. But, Jack, we got three fantastic stories for today's T Boy. What do we got on the show?

[B]

For our first story, there's a more than 50% chance that cannabis is coming to your Thanksgiving dinner this year because.

[A]

Thanksgiving Eve is now the number two sales day of the year for legal weed. And Jack and I will tell you how green Wednesday came to be.

[B]

For our second story, Wicked Part 2 just dominated the box box office with a $150 million haul.

[A]

But the real story that Jack and I found, it's the rise of the PG economy.

[B]

And our third and final story. Warren Buffett recently published his very last Thanksgiving letter as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

[A]

So we ripped open the envelope, and we'll tell you what's inside.

[B]

But yetis. Before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa.

[A]

What a mix of stories. I'm still hugging this little yeti doll. Jack. I can't let go of this guy.

[B]

I love him. Last week, we were at NASDAQ's headquarters. It's a stock exchange in New York.

[A]

City notable for tech companies, Times Square, IPOs, big billboards. It is the center of the business world.

[B]

But we got the chance to rub elbows with a bunch of big tech AI business leaders.

[A]

And since it's Thanksgiving week, we went around the conference room and we said what we're thankful for.

[B]

Jensen Huang kicked it off. He said that Nvidia is thankful for Sam Altman Because ChatGPT buys so many chips.

[A]

Okay, but then Sam Altman said he's thankful for Jensen Huang because Nvidia invested in ChatGPT.

[B]

But Jensen is also thankful for Satya Nadella because Microsoft gives office space. Sam Altman in OpenAI.

[A]

Okay, but Satya said Microsoft is thankful for Sam Altman for taking his investment money.

[B]

But then Sam Altman said he's thankful for Amazon, Microsoft and Google for all their cloud computing.

[A]

Okay, but then Amazon, Microsoft and Google said they're thankful for Zuck for buying all their cloud.

[B]

But then Apple said they're thankful for Amazon, Microsoft, meta, Nvidia and ChatGPT.

[A]

But then Tim Cook didn't even say why he was thankful for all of them. Ah, we just went around the table.

[B]

The idea is the AI industry is looking like one big white elephant gift giving party.

[A]

Every big tech company is up in each other's presence these days.

[B]

So they're all super thankful that together, as long as they're in this together, AI bubble will not pop.

[A]

And honestly, we're all thankful for that too.

[B]

Yeah, I hope this kumbaya continues.

[A]

Keep it going, guys.

[B]

But besties, we do also love the tradition of going around the dinner table and each saying what they're thankful for.

[A]

All right, so Jack, why don't you kick it off for us on the show?

[B]

All right, I'll kick it off with the table sticks, the family, the friends.

[A]

The health, all the good stuff. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

But Nick, you're basically my fourth Kramer brother.

[A]

The meat and potatoes. Thank you.

[B]

Thank you, Jack. And you know, I tell you more than just about anyone in this world except Alex, my wife. You have some fantastic advice on the serious stuff, but you're best at the not serious stuff. Like when I randomly say the weird situation I found myself in this weekend, you'll have some hilarious comment to make. And man, it's just so much fun.

[A]

Being around you, dude. Because football players are soft, guys. You need that extra attention.

[B]

Jack, no football player has ever been critiqued that their sport is soft until Nick did to me.

[A]

Okay, well, Jack, Jack, Jack, on like the T boy content side. I'm so thankful about how you're like just a defender of the credibility. You're always double triple checking. And honestly, at this point, we barely use ChatGPT for research because you found so many errors with it.

[B]

Dude, I'm a big information integrity guy. I demand the best for the besties in the Eddies.

[A]

Also, Yetis, he's got a memory. Jack can remember what takeaway we whipped up on 14th of December in 1983.

[B]

Encyclopedia Britannica's got nothing on me.

[A]

But also, Jack, we have just been through so much together running this company for over a decade and we can just take on anything at this point. So I'm excited because next year we get to do this again together, like we always do. It's amazing.

[B]

Me too, man. And of course, Nick and I are dearly thankful for you, the Yetis and the Besties. Happy Thanksgiving. We are pumped to pie with you today.

[A]

Thank you. We are honored to get to do this with you every day. Oh, and tomorrow we're gonna drop a special episode. It's our interview with Jim Cramer that we did at NASDAQ last week.

[B]

But as we head into Thanksgiving, let's hear our three best stories yet, because.

[A]

These are a total teapot.

[C]

Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea that caused a cultural stor. Norm is 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 Liz if you low you know cause we read to go we can't wait no more so just start the show Start the show.

[A]

First, a quick word from our sponsor.

[B]

I recently got a booking request from somebody who said I'm a 75 year old professor from Michigan. Me and my academic pals are having a ski trip. I love your place.

[A]

Lovely. So what'd you say back? You write back to the guy?

[B]

I responded that I went to the University of Michigan for two graduate degrees. Nick. It turns out he did too. In fact, we worked in the same econ department when I was a TA there.

[A]

It's a match made in platform history.

[B]

Man, this guy hasn't arrived yet. But I love these personal connections I've made as a host on Airbnb.

[A]

And Besties, we've told you that your place is probably perfect for someone else to stay at as well.

[B]

We haven't told you about the wonderful human interactions you can have as an Airbnb host like mine with this 75 year old PhD who loves the Michigan Wolverines as much as I do.

[A]

Yeah, it just feels good knowing that while you're making money, someone else is enjoying your place too. And you got a connection.

[B]

Hosting on Airbnb can provide you with another income stream and another source of life satisfaction.

[A]

Whether you're a Wolverine or a Buckeye Besties. No joke. Jack's very satisfied.

[B]

Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how [e-mail] host this show is brought to you by BetterHelp Yetis.

[A]

You know what time of year it is? It ain't engagement season. It's postponement season.

[B]

Not like postponing your wedding. We're just talking about postponing a social event. Yeah.

[A]

Like days getting shorter, airs getting colder. You're taking a rain check.

[B]

Winter is coming. It's the time of the year that people start to get disconnected from friends.

[A]

Okay. But then when you do finally meet up with your buddy Tim, Timmy and your friends, it's exactly what you needed. And you think, why didn't I do this sooner?

[B]

And for us, that's what starting therapy was like.

[A]

That's right. Jack and I are in way better control of our feelings. We know ourselves much better today than we did five years ago in our pre therapy era.

[B]

Well over 5 million people worldwide have chosen BetterHelp to start therapy with over 30,000 therapists on that single platform.

[A]

Jack, you can't postpone those numbers this month.

[B]

Don't wait to reach out. Whether you're checking in on a friend or reaching out to a therapist yourself, BetterHelp makes it easier to take that first step.

[A]

And our listeners, you. You get 10% off your first [e-mail] tboy that's BetterHelp.

[B]

H E L P.com tboy.

[A]

For our first story on Thanksgiving, cannabis is replacing alcohol in many American homes, and it's led to a new holiday called Green Wednesday.

[B]

But this story finishes with a lesson that every entrepreneur should know.

[A]

This Thursday. Oh, we're all feeling that stress, Jack. You got to pick it out, you got to wrap it. What are you going to do with it? The Thanksgiving host gift.

[B]

Wait a second. I'm not that stressed out about it. Should I be?

[A]

Are you hosting?

[B]

I am hosting.

[A]

Okay. Okay. Mostly. Nice. Well, the default tends to be a bottle of wine these days. Right.

[B]

But more Americans are trading out cabernet for cannabis instead.

[A]

Get this. The day before Thanksgiving is actually the second biggest sales day of the year for legal cannabis.

[B]

Only $4 beats it.

[A]

Yeah, it's like the 420 of the fall. It's called Green Wednesday. Instead of Black Friday, you now have Green Wednesday.

[B]

Although I prefer Thanksgiving because sales are up 97% on Green Wednesday compared to a typical Wednesday.

[A]

That's right. The hot new host gift, if you still can't figure it out, is a box of Maui Wowie on Thanksgiving eve.

[B]

You're not hosting your high school reunion with buddies at the bar. You're hitting the local dispensary for proper Thanksgiving celebration with your family.

[A]

Now that it's legal besties. This happens to fit nicely with the trend Jack and I have been covering for a few years now.

[B]

Less alcohol, more cannabis, or as it's.

[A]

Known in the Golden State, California Sober.

[B]

California Sober. When you go from beers to buds, from pinot to pot, from negronis to weed gummies.

[A]

Because if you look at the data here, the decreases in alcohol consumption are offset 1 to 1 by 8 increases in cannabis consumption.

[B]

The graph looks like an X. Yeah.

[A]

There are a couple key reasons here. The first of which is that alcohol consumption is at its lowest level ever on health fears.

[B]

Remember that CDC study last year that tied alcohol to cancer?

[A]

Yeah, not pretty. The second reason is that weight loss drugs are at their highest level ever.

[B]

And nothing crushes your cocktail cravings like Ozempic. The third reason that Gen Z is just not into alcohol.

[A]

So illegal cannabis has officially entered the alcohol chat.

[B]

You can have a gummy with your turkey and stuffing and avoid the hangover.

[A]

In fact, Bloomberg just did a survey from September that found that 51% of Americans now substitute cannabis for alcohol at least weekly.

[B]

I need to repeat that. In September, Bloomberg did a survey and found that a majority of us substitute cannabis for alcohol at least weekly. So instead of pounding a beer, you're smoking a joint.

[A]

But besties. The key reason why the California sober trend has led to this Green Wednesday surge.

[B]

It's Thanksgiving stress.

[A]

Yeah, the stress your uncle is triggered by your cousin and your sister wore a political pin. And your inner child is coming out at the Thanksgiving table with that kind.

[B]

Of dinner table awkwardness. Boomers, zoomers, they're all uniting over some relaxing edibles. Just chill, man. It's all good.

[A]

It's intergenerational. Grandma chilled out because she had a microdose in one sec, Jack, Grandpa fell in the mashed potatoes. I don't think that's the tryptophan, man. I don't think it is. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over in Green Wednesday? California Sober Cannabis Ification.

[B]

The Thanksgiving dinner table can be your ultimate focus group.

[A]

Because besties Thanksgiving is the ultimate word of mouth moment. It's when ideas are shared and plans are hatched.

[B]

No holiday drives, more referrals, sampling, or taste testing than Thanksgiving does.

[A]

Okay, think about it. Here's how Jack and I want you to picture this. People are traveling from all across the country to get to one specific place.

[B]

And then they have to sit for an intimate group dinner where they're forced to talk with each other.

[A]

And they are expected to bring a gift or share what they are thankful.

[B]

Based on that description. Yes, Jack, Thanksgiving is like one nationwide business convention with forced networking.

[A]

It's a cross pollination of ideas mixing and mingling of the masses like no other time.

[B]

And that tradition of the Thanksgiving captive dinner table audience is why Green Wednesday has become such a big thing.

[A]

Your cousin Timmy brought it up last year. Now everyone's talking about it this year.

[B]

Green Wednesday.

[A]

Green Wednesday.

[B]

Green Wednesday.

[A]

So besties, if you want to drive sales for next year, your goal should be to become a topic at Thanksgiving dinner this year. Figure out how to make it happen for our second story. Wicked 2 was number one at the box office on the same weekend that Toy story celebrated its 30th anniversary.

[B]

The common thread. They're both rated PG and they're both crushing it.

[A]

It's the PG economy. Full disclosure, by the way, we have not yet seen Wicked 2, so no spoiler concerns in today's business story.

[B]

Except for this one. Wicked 2 may not be a lock for the number the first of box office movie of 2025.

[A]

And now besties, the Witches did have a massive opening weekend just a few days ago.

[B]

150 million in North America, 226 million globally.

[A]

Apparently Elphaba just bought a broom made by Bugatti.

[B]

But Disney may steal its Thunder as Zootopia 2 debuts tomorrow in theaters.

[A]

So it's kind of shocking, but prediction markets think it's toss up for who will be the top grossing movie of 2025.

[B]

Wicked 2, which had an epic opening weekend. Minecraft, which had an epic summer. Or Zootopia 2, which might steal the whole holiday season.

[A]

But Jack, let's pause the pod for a second. Are you noticing a Trend here?

[B]

Yetis Wicked 2, Minecraft and Zootopia 2.

[A]

Okay, no violence, no kissing, no four letter words.

[B]

All three of those movies are PG.

[A]

But besties, this is a big deal because this will be a second year in a row. The first two times ever that PG movies have taken the biggest share of the box office.

[B]

PG is at an all time high. It's never been a more popular film genre. PG stands for profits, guaranteed.

[A]

Jack, did you hear the hit song in Wicked 2 this time around?

[B]

What was it?

[A]

It goes like this. Exactly.

[B]

You got me.

[A]

But besties, here's what Jack and I find fascinating. The modern formula for kid friendly blockbusters that parents love too. It was actually set 30 years ago.

[B]

Exactly 30 years ago. November 22, 1995. What movie hit the box office on that day? Jack?

[A]

Only because I did the research with you. I'm gonna say Toy Story. The first ever computer animated movie.

[B]

The first Internet era movie.

[A]

Yeah, really. Toy Story was Pixar created By George Lucas, acquired by Steve Jobs. And eventually Pixar was sold to Disney.

[B]

I read a whole book about Pixar. It's an unbelievable story if you want to read it.

[A]

And here's the key insight. Toy Story created a new formula.

[B]

They targeted parents and kids with animated movies. They entertained the kids, they cracked up the parents with jokes the kids didn't understand.

[A]

Then other studios like dreamworks scaled that formula with movies like Shrek and then.

[B]

Zooton, Utopia, Inside out, the Minions, and next Summer, Toy Story 5.

[A]

So today we're now seeing a surge in PG films, partially because we've hit superhero saturation.

[B]

20 year olds are bored of another Marvel movie.

[A]

But also from a financial perspective. There are benefits because a PG family is gonna buy three to five tickets to a movie and then dress up to get really excited about it, maybe.

[B]

See it twice, which creates some buzz. Whereas a dink couple is gonna go to an R rated movie and just buy two tickets with no dress up.

[A]

So today, add it all up, and today every movie theater wants at least one PG film every single weekend.

[B]

It's become the cornerstone strategy of all of Hollywood and all of cinema.

[A]

But Yetis, there's also a deeper reason why PG's share of the box office has nearly doubled since the 2000 teens. And the reason is our takeaway. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies watching PG movies?

[B]

The parents need help and PG Movies are here to provide it.

[A]

Yetis, former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy published an op ed last year called Parents Need Help.

[B]

Therapist recommended. I listen to a podcast of the same title from the New York Times last year.

[A]

Yeah, I remember when you told me that, Jack. And both cite data that nearly half of millennial parents today feel overwhelmed on most days.

[B]

Now, there's the traditional pressures of parenting, like having enough money, keeping the kids safe and getting enough sleep. But there's also modern pressures of parenting.

[A]

Unique to this generation, like limiting screen time, mental health issues and extra money. Stress of not being able to afford a mortgage despite both parents working two corporate jobs.

[B]

Parents needing help from our experience is a big reason that PG movies are winning right now.

[A]

Right? Because PG movies are a place where you can both watch a screen guilt free for two hours and just relax.

[B]

Your kid's not gonna run away or hit anybody. And two movie tickets plus a a box of popcorn is like half the price of a babysitter.

[A]

Plus, the content targets a 6 year old and a 46 year old to.

[B]

Both laugh and have a bonding moment from A sequel that you remember watching the original as a kid.

[A]

So Basti's the reason Hollywood has become a PG economy and nearly doubled its share of the North American box office.

[B]

Because the parents need help. PG movies are here for it.

[A]

Now a quick word from our sponsor.

Now, Jack, my mom does not use most of the products we promote. She's not building a website. She's not downloading a stock trading app.

[B]

No, she's not.

[A]

But she did call me this weekend and here's what she said. She said, I need to know the promo code for your collagen peptide sponsor because I just bought more of it.

[B]

It was Vital proteins and their no sugar added collagen peptide products are delicious, especially the new 30 gram Prote.

[A]

Now, I don't know if my mom's into the taste or the health benefits or she's trying to get jacked. But she's got healthy hair, skin, nails and joints right now.

[B]

Dude, I'd say it's all of them.

[A]

So yetis.

[A]

For our third and final story, Warren Buffett published his final Thanksgiving letter as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

[B]

There was patriotism, grace, and foxiness, but also a hidden endorsement of the next CEO.

[A]

And there's one key word he said zero times now. Yetis. FDR did fireside chats. Kendrick Lamar did diss tracks.

[B]

Warren Buffett does Thanksgiving letters, and he just wrote his final one as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

[A]

Warren Buffett, the CEO of the longest lasting stock market winner, is retiring this year on 1231 on New Year's Eve.

[B]

So this year has been a farewell tour for the prophet of profits and now besties.

[A]

Dozens of you asked us to break down this very final letter of war. And so Jack and I jumped in t boy style. And that's exactly what we did for you.

[B]

We read the whole thing. It was addressed to shareholders, but really, it talked at first about his children, who are 72, 70, and 67.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Warren Buffett is a great grandfather, in case you were curious.

[B]

He's 95 years old. And this final letter felt a bit like a public will and Testament for his $160 billion fortune, because he opens.

[A]

It up by publicly sharing his money plans for when he passes away.

[B]

His kids are getting the estate.

[A]

By the way, he's owned the same house since 1958, so those kids may want to renovate it if they ever come across it.

[B]

And he's lived in that Same House since 1958. Becoming a billionaire did not change where he lived.

[A]

But unlike most billionaires, Warren Buffett will not dictate where his $160 billion fortune will go.

[B]

It's up to his kids. And now that he's 95, he is self aware about himself and his age. Yes, and he actually told boards to look out for signs of dementia and Alzheimer's in elderly executives like himself.

[A]

It was a surprising paragraph in the letter, but he said if CEOs and directors notice it in him or others, they should take action for the benefit of the company.

[B]

And Warren, being the legend that he is, this could set a precedent in the corporate community.

[A]

But, Jack, enough about age. Come on, man. We got so much more in this.

[B]

Letter about the warm and fuzzy parts.

[A]

Oh, the rest of the letter, Jack, it felt like a Pepperidge Farm commercial. It was so warm and bubbly.

[B]

Well, Warren said the word luck or lucky 12 times. After all, this is a Thanksgiving letter.

[A]

He focused on Omaha, the location of that house that he's lived in for 67 years.

[B]

He expressed gratitude for the doctors in Omaha who have saved his life three separate times.

[A]

And he expressed gratitude for the Schools in Omaha that raised five generations of Buffets.

[B]

And he concluded that if Berkshire Hathaway was somewhere else besides Omaha, it wouldn't be as profitable or as large as it is today.

[A]

Yeah, like the bubbles of Silicon Valley or the fads of Wall Street. Maybe those would have become Warren Buffett's weaknesses if he lived in one of those places.

[B]

Instead, he preferred being in the geographic center of the United States. Nebraska.

[A]

Then Warren went on to spend several pages writing about the character of people he'd grown up with and the people he'd worked with.

[B]

Yeah, for example, he's not a fan of greed.

[A]

Not a fan of greed.

[B]

Twice in this letter, he looked down at dynastic, or look at me, wealth and the people who tried to attain it.

[A]

Not a Gucci guy.

[B]

He also glorified the golden rule, which I learned in kindergarten and still think.

[A]

I agree with Warren.

[B]

This is like the one rule.

[A]

The cleaning lady is as much as a human as the chairman is, as Warren Buffett just put it.

[B]

And his parting advice, choose your heroes very carefully and then emulate them. You'll never be perfect, but you can always be better.

[A]

Another quote we loved. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. Kindness is costless, but also priceless.

[B]

Now, that's what he did say, right? It's also interesting what he did not say.

[A]

Yeah, jack, he mentioned zero trends. Like no tech, no crypto. No. 6, 7. How many times did Warren Buffett mention AI in his final letter to shareholders?

[B]

Zero.

[A]

None.

[B]

And honestly, it was pretty refreshing not reading artificial intelligence.

[A]

Yeah, because every other CEO is contractually obligated to mention it 32 times. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddy Warren Buffett on his final Thanksgiving letter?

[B]

He barely mentioned the new CEO, but the whole letter was about him.

[A]

Now, yetis, I asked Jack GPT, which is my name for Jack. Just the human being Jack. But I asked Jack to summarize Warren Buffett's letter in two words. And Jack said, character matters because Warren.

[B]

Spent the first two pages talking about people with high moral integrity who he admired. He glorified hard work, curiosity, and dependability in this life.

[A]

The real message here, character is what I care about most. And you can trust. Greg Abel, his hand picked successor to lead, Berkshire Hathaway.

[B]

Warren's track record is insane. 20% average stock market gains for 60 years. That's twice as good as the S&P 500.

[A]

Jack, Warren's inheritor, this guy, Greg Abel. He must oversee a $300 billion stock portfolio $300 billion in cash, and run 189 different companies.

[B]

To manage that empire and beat the stock market like war, it takes more than brains, experience, and execution. And I don't think living in the Same House for 60 years is going to help Greg either.

[A]

It takes character. And that's what Warren's last CEO letter was really all about. Jack, could you whip up the takeaways for us for T Boy? Tuesday.

[B]

Green Wednesday tomorrow is the second biggest cannabis sales day of the year.

[A]

Why has it become so big? Well, because the Thanksgiving table is the ultimate marketing focus group.

[B]

For our second story, Wicked 2 is battling it out with two other PG movies for the top box office movie of 2025.

[A]

Because we're in the PG economy, the parents need help, and PG movies are here to provide it.

[B]

And our third and final story. Warren Buffett's last Thanksgiving letter to shareholders were graceful final words for this CEO.

[A]

It was all about character. A meat and potatoes, subtle endorsement of Greg Abel, his Berkshire Hathaway successor.

[B]

But besties, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today.

[A]

Well, first, tech stocks actually have a lot to be thankful for. Google continued Soari, and it's carrying the entire market on its back this week.

[B]

The Nasdaq jumped nearly 3% on Monday, but Google jumped 6% last week.

[A]

We said that OpenAI was trying to become Google, but Google already is Google.

[B]

Well, Jim Cramer quoted that takeaway on CNBC and Google stock is up 12% since he did.

[A]

Yeah, we're pretty pumped about that. And second, turkey prices actually came down this year. Yeah, turkey got deflated.

[B]

The surprise reason is that the price of the food that turkeys eat went down this year.

[A]

Apparently, corn and soybeans had their biggest crop harvest ever and China wasn't buying them. So we had a lot of food to give our turkeys and we made a lot of turkeys.

[B]

Yeah, so turkey food was cheaper than ever, which means turkey, the food is cheaper, too. It's down 14% compared to last year.

[A]

And finally, Charmin just released its first ever toilet paper specifically engineered for Thanksgiving because it's huge.

[B]

Yeah, a little bit of potty humor to finish the show.

[A]

1700 sheets of toilet paper. That is 32 times more than the standard roll. It's like 20 threes in this thing.

[B]

It's as long as the Washington Monument when fully rolled out. And it does require a special holder.

[A]

This is once again proof that just when you think you've fully innovated any product, apparently there's just a little more innovation you can squeeze out of that thing, Jack.

[B]

It's Texas sized.

[A]

Now time for the best fact yet. This one sent in by legendary Eddie Savannah Westwood from lovely Orlando, Florida.

[B]

Year in and year out, the only non political, non sports thing that's in the list of most watched things on TV is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[A]

It just crushes the ratings every year. But did you know the original Thanksgiving Day Parade by Macy's actually used live animals from the Central Park Zoo?

[B]

Yeah, Alex the lion, Marty the zebra and Melman the giraffe. They were all in the parade.

[A]

It wasn't until giant helium balloons were introduced in 1927 that the zoo stopped giving lions and tigers and bears to the parade.

[B]

It's safer with balloons too, Jack.

[A]

My mom actually discovered this when she was a balloon handler one year.

[B]

That's the coolest thing your mom.

[A]

We always thought it'd be fun though if they had like the balloons and told her like, mom, what if there was a real lion behind you moving you down, keeping you moving down Central Park West?

[B]

How many adults are there for per balloon?

[A]

Enough just to barely keep those things down. Jack Yetis, you look fantastic. Two days before Thanksgiving. And Jack and I whipped up a special treat for you tomorrow.

[B]

Our interview with Jim Crack. Nick and I share our favorite stock picks with the most legendary stock picker of all time.

[A]

So many interviews, but this was the wildest interview we've ever done.

[B]

And Jim also loudly says, what stocks not to buy? And he almost shook the camera.

[A]

Actually I would say the camera was shaking the entire time, Jim.

[B]

So enjoy your Thanksgiving long weekend. We're going to have our interview with Jim Cramer at the top of the.

[A]

Feed for the whole weekend and then we'll see you back for our usual daily show the following Monday day. Can't wait. And before we go, a Happy birthday to Yeti Amy Anstett Turning 65 years old down in Birmingham, Michigan.

[B]

Happy birthday to Jeff Thomas in Princeton, Texas.

[A]

And Amy's got the best birthday yet in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

[B]

Happy birthday to Devin McLaughlin turning 31 on the upper east side of Manhattan, New York City.

[A]

And Luca Tang is celebrating their second birthday over in Vegas.

[B]

Happy birthday to Malcolm Stewart turning 30 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

[A]

And Mary Zeomic in Oceanside, California's got the best birthday yet. Congratulations, Mary.

[B]

Happy 35th birthday to Will Obrender in Edena, Minnesota.

[A]

And Jack, we got an eight year anniversary to Kyle Revello and Shallie Wynn in Oakland, California. Congrats guys.

[B]

And happy anniversary To Christy and Tim Brown in Avon, Ohio and Ali Sinclair.

[A]

In Honolulu, Hawaii just passed the SIE exam and has got a new job. Bob Feelin Fantastic.

[B]

And to anyone else who's celebrating something today, make it a T boy. Celebrate the wins and Will Obrender if it's a Dinah, Minnesota my apologies.

[A]

This is Jack.
