This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Friday, the real Friday, December 6th, 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. All right, so I'm recording from home today because we got a tsunami warning in San Francisco. I know. Nick called me yesterday and he said, Jack, a 7.0 earthquake happened off the coast of California.
I had to head to higher ground. I'm recording from a podcast studio at like 900 feet above sea level right now. I'll be honest, I was very worried. I really appreciated how worried you were, Jack. Thanks so much. I texted Nick right away when I saw that the tsunami warning got canceled. But in the meantime, Yetis, the pod must go on, and we have got three fantastic stories before the weekend.
Jack, what's on today's T-Boy? For our first story, Ben the Bitcoin just hit $100,000 for the first time ever. So Jack and I are looking at the one company that owns more Bitcoin than any other. MicroStrategy. For our second story, it's Uber's newest product. What is it, Jack? Uber caroling. Caroling. Uber will now deliver a Christmas tree and Christmas carolers to your door.
But why is Uber really spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear? It's because of Waymo. And our third and final story. A new survey says that the top restaurant men will take their first date to is Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A! But the wildest part? Women love Chick-fil-A as a first date, but on one big financial condition. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories...
No one is doing this mix. I mean, this is an unprecedented. I love this mix, Jack. Great mix. Guinness. Guinness. The dark, creamy beer that tastes like a confused cold coffee. Guinness. You don't drink the Guinness. The Guinness drinks you. We've all got one buddy who's like training for a marathon and the only thing he'll drink is half a Guinness. I can only drink Guinness.
It's half the calories of my life. Well, here's the news. Guinness is cutting off pubs in the United Kingdom. Apparently, they have reached their Guinness limit. Because too many Brits are drinking too much Guinness right now. Bestie's Guinness is limiting its supply on their home island during the holidays in order to make sure there's enough Guinness for the rest of us. So here's the question.
Why is Guinness suddenly so popular in the UK? Well, get this, Jack. The latest trend among Gen Z is taking pics with a pint of Guinness. They're called Ginfluencers. Ginfluencers, real term. And the goal when you drink as a Ginfluencer is to split the G, which is to drink just enough Guinness, like two gulps or so from your pint. So that the beer line splits the G when you put the pint down.
Because it's not just Liam and leprechauns who are drinking Guinness these days. No, this is wild, but sales to women of Guinness are up 24% this year. Kim Kardashian, Olivia Rodrigo, the Princess of Wales, they've all recently posted pics sipping the brown stuff. So Diageo, the go-owner of Guinness, is reportedly limiting sales in the United Kingdom, where ginsanity is particularly strong.
Nick, we may have to add Guinness to the hoarder's almanac. Jack, we may have to add ginfluencers to our word of the year. How about ginsanity? That's the guinning choice.
