This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, Saviche Wednesday, February 18th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy.

Here's the top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Jack, whip out the calendars. We got one week to the live show down in Austin, Texas. Tomorrow, what are we going to share, man?

Well, last week we asked you for your travel recommendations. Basically, where should we have dinner and where should we work out? Nick, we got

14 different barbecues recommended to us. 14. Apparently Franklin's is in, Salt Lake is out,

and there's someplace run by an Egyptian dude. That's the best barbecue in the state.

So tomorrow we'll announce the one workout and one restaurant. We're from your recommendations. And the Yetis and besties who submitted them, yeah, we're inviting you to join us. We're bringing a plus one. But Jack, we've got three fantastic stories for today's tea boy. What do we got on today's show? For our first story, it's Norway. They're number one in the metal count and number one in gold so far,

despite having a population of Minnesota. Because Norway's youth sports strategy is actually

a business strategy. For our second story, why is Budweiser stock at a six-year high

despite falling alcohol consumption? Because Wall Street thinks Gen Z sobriety is a fad.

And our third and final story, Apple is finally

cashing on the category they invented. This category. Video podcasts are coming to Apple, so we'll tell you what took him so long. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Hey, Siri, what took you so long? The series not going to get it right, Nick,

and that's actually part of our story. But happy Lunar New Year to all those who celebrate,

which is two billion humans. Lunar New Year, largest migration of humans on Earth,

the biggest spending holiday of the year. Goodbye year of the snake. 2026 is the year of the horse. Besties, the next 15 days

of festivities are for our four-legged zodiac friend, the horse. But here's the strange thing. Across

China, the most popular image to celebrate Lunar New Year is Draco Malfoy. I'm sorry, Jack,

that's Draco Malfoy? Yes, Nick, that Draco Malfoy. That's right, the Bleach Blonde, Snake-Tong, Slithoran, Slitheran student from Harry Potter. The evil Nepo Baby of the Wizarding World is also a symbol of celebration for the Chinese New Year right now. Get this, Draco Malfoy's face is painted on doors. Kids are dressing up as Draco right now in school.

There are offices in China waving 10-foot banners of Draco's smug face.

But why? Why is the official mascot of New Year a horse, but the unofficial one is Draco Malfoy?

Well, here's why. It all comes down to one word, and Jack, could you please

translate Malfoy for us? Malfoy sounds like Mandarin for fortune and horse. That's right,

fortune and horse in Mandarin Chinese. Total coincidence of translation right here. Call it
