This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Thursday, the new Friday, February 20th. 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. And yeties, we have to finish quickly because Nick has an appointment after this recording. Don't you, Nick? I got a piano lesson guilty as charged. Was it your New Year's resolution to get back on the piano?
Ah. My New Year's resolution was to learn a Beatles song by the end of the year. I got you, Jack. Really? Yeah, it was. It is. Do you have one in mind? I had one yesterday, but I can't remember it, Jack. I think the song is yesterday, but well done. If you know, you know. Three stories today. T-Boy Jack, what do we got on today's pod? For our first story, tonight's NHL hockey game is the U.S.
All-Stars versus Canada's All-Stars. But this hockey game is also an economic battle and a lesson on storytelling. For our second story, get this. Meta is building the biggest undersea internet cable ever. True story. It's 31,000 miles long. Because to quote Ariel, the future of AI is under the sea. Okay, I love that, but that was Sebastian, not Ariel. Pretty sure it was Ariel.
Gender third and final story. What's the deal with med spas? What's going on with med spas? America has 10,000 medical spas. Medical spas, Botox, lip filler, butt plumpers. They are surging right now. So we got the numbers on Botox bars. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, fantastic mix of stories, Jack. Scientists have discovered the happiest time of the year.
They have pinpointed the hour, the minute, and the moment every single year that you are your happiest on average. And the happiest time of the year. Yes, Jack? Is at 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 15th. All right, mark your calendars. We'll explain. Researchers at the University College of London tracked 50,000 adult women. And they found that those women are happiest, right, when they wake up.
Irrespective of the day. True. All of us wake up in a good mood. It's a universal truth. It turns out 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. is the magical mental time when all of us are happiest. It's great news. It is. Now, unfortunately, happiness dips until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Then at 4 o'clock, you have a snack, you're done with work, and you get a little bit of a happiness boost.
And then your least happy point in the day, on average, is midnight. Turns out the later you are up, the less happy you are. But Yeti's certain mornings during the week are happier than other mornings are. Friday mornings are happier than Monday mornings. And certain mornings during the year are happier than other times, too. Summer mornings are happier than winter mornings.
Therefore, the happiest moment of the year, Nick? Jack, it would be 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 15th. So yetis, if you just woke up, you just grabbed a coffee and you're on the way to work. You look fantastic. You must be so happy over there. But if you're listening to us right before bed, cheer up. Tomorrow morning is going to be a better day. Trust us. It'll be better in seven hours.
And right now, take a second to set your alarm for 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 15th. Trust us. We dove into the data. And that is the best moment yet. Although, what's wrong with these 50,000 women? I love the moment right before bed. Like you're about to enjoy eight hours of sleep in like fluffy down comfort. Faux down, Jack. Faux down.
