This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, January 27th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This one, it's a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. But Jack, how was the hot tub? I can tell you've been... Spent a lot of time there over the last 48 hours. Sure. I told you we had a mad day on Saturday, a mortgage appreciation day.
You're not allowed to do any house chores or any work on your house. Just enjoy the house like it's a vacation house. Well, your hands are still pruney. I can see them from here, Jack. In the meantime, three stories for today's show. What do we got on the pod, man? For our first story, the maker of Ozempic just unveiled an even more powerful weight loss drug.
If you shop online too much or scroll Instagram too much, the new cure may be Ozempic. For our second story, it's Kidz Bop. They've been making kids' versions of adult music for 25 years. Cardi B for babies. Kidz Bop. Their real innovation? It's the re-creator economy. And our third and final story. One week into the Trump presidency, CNN is overhauling its entire business.
We're going to tell you why CNN is having plastic problems. media surgery. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, fantastic mix of stories. There's no better mix. I love the mix check. To quote Beyonce, all the single ladies, all the single ladies. Because guess who's driving the housing market right now, Yetis? That's kind of a leading question.
Single ladies.
According to Sotheby's International, the biggest new buyers of luxury real estate are single women. Jack, to quote Diana Ross, it's my house and I live here. According to the data, women were the sole owners of 20% of American homes in 2024. That is twice the percentage from just 30 years ago. And those solo ladies that are owning homes are also the fastest growing segment of luxury real estate.
A villa in Italia owned by a single lady. The mansion in Mallorca, unmarried woman. Jack's ski chalet just outside of Chamonix. It's owned by Charlotte. Yeah. And yeah, she's single. But here's the fascinating twist, yetis. It is single ladies on both sides of the age spectrum that are snapping up all this real estate. That's right. It's both boomers and millennials.
Because on the one hand, older women are living longer than their husbands, so they're buying a new home. the other hand, young working women are putting off marriage and treating themselves to a brand new home instead. And this combination has driven an unprecedented pop in the housing market. We call it the single lady home surge.
It's all proof that you don't need a man, you just need a mortgage. And again, Jack, just to quote Beyonce, I got a gloss on my lips and a man on my hips. Sorry, I don't have another Diana Ross quote. But I got a condo in Cabo. You
