What do you get when you mix a passion for collecting bugs with an obsession for video games? For Satoshi Tajiri, the answer is the world's largest media franchise (over $92 billion revenue — more than Star Wars and Harry Potter combined). Tajiri dreamed up a new kind of video game: one built not just on battling monsters, but trading them. What followed was a full-blown cultural takeover with TV shows, trading cards (global market value $6 billion), more video games, and so much merch. Find out how Pikachu got his spark, why there was fierce debate over America’s cuteness threshold, how Pokémon Go took over your smartphone — and why Pokémon (our MOST requested episode to date) is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.

Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate’s not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it’s also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).

So in today’s interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it’s possible to build and sell a car for $25. She’ll tell us the craziest idea they *didn’t* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump’s EV moves.

Live… from Chicago… it’s The Best One Yet!

We performed our show in front of a live studio audience of Besties & Yetis at Chicago’s famous Vic Theater. Some extra razzle dazzle & sprinkle dinkle — but our usual daily Takeaways you know & love.

#1: Michael Jordan’s mansion is now on Airbnb ($17K/night)… but can it boost the stock?

#2: Mattel’s Uno card game is expanding into movies & theme parks… by borrowing a strategy from Duolingo.

#3: Amazon just acquired an AI listening device to be your personal assistant… can it make the iPhone a dumb phone?

#4: The Tour de France ends this weekend… and the $150M event is the wildest outlier in the business of sports.
