| 0:00.0 | This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Wednesday, Saviche Wednesday, January 7th. And today's pod is the best one yet this is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Well, Jack, I'm wearing slamming salmon today and we are excited for this pod. Why is that man? We're pulling a Jim Kramer and sharing one of our three big stock picks for 2026. |
| 0:22.1 | Now, so far in 2026, it seems like just about all stocks are up, right? The S&P 500 about to hit 7,000 for the first time ever. Not too shabby. It's all-time high in, but Jack, three stories we got in today's tea boy. What did we got in the show? For our first story, a man in Japan known as the Tuna King just spent a record $3.2 million on one single tuna fish. Because |
| 0:44.1 | this one most expensive fish ever could actually save Japan's economy. For our second story, |
| 0:50.3 | at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Lego just unveiled their first ever electronic |
| 0:55.2 | brick. Because to fight the screen, you need a screen. And our third and final story. For the first |
| 1:01.2 | time ever on this pod, we're doing our portfolio resolutions, our three stock picks for the new year. |
| 1:07.1 | And our first stock pick for 2026, what is it, Jack? It's worth one left. If you know, |
| 1:12.2 | you know. But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Whoa, what a mix of stories. |
| 1:17.2 | Love the mix for Cevice Wednesday, Jack. Remember our story just in December, actually, on the |
| 1:21.9 | economics of gift cards? Yeah, top story of the year. They are the number one gift of the holiday |
| 1:26.6 | season, the gift card. |
| 1:27.8 | The old data is that one out of seven Americans were getting Starbucks gift cards for the holidays. |
| 1:32.8 | Oh, but Starbucks just served us up some new data. |
| 1:36.8 | In 2025, one out of five Americans received a Starbucks gift card for the holidays. |
| 1:42.5 | Apparently America's love language is a Starbucks |
| 1:44.9 | gift card double digit lattes. Nothing says I latte you like a Starbucks gift card. Oh and by the way, |
| 1:51.5 | a record $60 million of them were bought just on Christmas Eve. That is more money spent on Starbucks |
| 1:57.3 | gift cards in one day than DoorDash Spotify or The Gap Make in any day. |
| 2:03.2 | So, Yeties, since half of us got some kind of a gift card over the holidays, we have an assignment. |
| 2:09.0 | Oh, what is the assignment, Jack? |
| 2:10.7 | Time to spend those gift cards. |
| 2:12.1 | According to SEC filings, Target has $1.2 billion in unused gift cards out there. |
