This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, Saviche, Wednesday, December 17th. 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. Whoa, Jack, the dreidel rally? Not looking good. We're halfway through Hanukkah. Stocks are down, man. Yeah, I think we're jinxed it. I think we shouldn't have mentioned the Dreadle rally at all. Yeah, stocks been down for two straight days while you've been lighting those candles, but we are still close to an all-time stock market high. Market Toff. See what I did there? I do see what you did there. Jack, three stories for today's show. What do we got in the deep white? For our first story, the most popular gift in America for the holidays, a gift card.

Gift cards, even though 20% of that gift card

is going straight to Starbucks's profits. For our second story, Zillow is being zucked by Google,

so the stock dropped by 10% on Monday. But Jack and I have a wild idea to renovate Zillow's business, inspired by a pro wrestler.

Name your price.

What pro wrestler is that?

You're going to hear about the pro wrestler.

And our third and final story, the White House just launched the U.S. Tech Force.

1,000 techies will get paid up to 200 grand a year to work for the government.

And we think this tech force is the new resume flex. Yes, we do. But Yetis, before we hit that

wonderful mix of stories. What? A mix of stories for Cevice Wednesday, Jack? No one else

are doing this mix. To quote the legendary British Yeti, Oscar Wild, life imitates art.

Like how Saturday Night Live did a skit about Uber Eats Rapped over the weekend.

And then Uber actually launched Uber Eats Rapped this week.

No joke, the comedy show, joke that Uber should give a year in review on food delivery, Spotify style.

Like you're in the top 99% of chicken

nugget eaters worldwide. Yeah, like your culinary taste is like a 50-year-old couch potato. Or even

worse, you spent 24 grand this year on Uber Eats. But 48 hours after that SNL skit, Uber

launched that joke, but for real. It's called Uber. Uber. And according to Nick's Uber wrapped, he ate 13 Bond Me sandwiches this year. I'm more of a DoorDash guy. I'm a Bun Me guy. I'm a Bun Me guy. What can I say? So, Jack and I decided to whip up some other surprise companies that we think should do a year in review. Jack, kick us off. I'd love to see a Gmail wrapped. Yeah, like you forgot to attach 26 attachments, Jack. Or Tinder wrapped. Three quarters of your dates are holding a trout in their profile pick. That's a huge fish. How about therapy wrapped, Nick? You brought up your mother 463 times this year, my friend. That's some little T trauma right there. But Jack, what about a Microsoft Teams wrapped?? 90% of your pings were passive-aggressive. No, you don't have to do it. It's fine. Yeah, could you just do the thing you promise me you do? I will just circle back next year. Festi's happy rap season to all those who celebrate. Let's enter three stories. Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm.

They had an idea to cause a cultural storm.

It's the best one yet, but the best is an norm.

Jack Nick, that's it.
