This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday, the real Friday, January 10th, 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. You know, Jack, we didn't talk about this, but it's planuary. We got to start planning, man, for the whole year. I know. You look a little stressed about it right now.
Well, what I didn't mention on the pod the other day is that I'm pretty exhausted from my vacation. I know, but we'll plan it all out. We got to plan out the vacations, the meetings. I already planned a colonoscopy. I'll tell you that later. Oh, yeah. Long story for another pod. Jack, three stories for today's pod. What do we got on the team, boy?
For our first story, it's the Los Angeles Wildfires. They're on pace to set record amounts of fire damage. But one fire app has become the number one app in the whole app store because it's saving lives. For our second story, we're looking at Rolls-Royce's newest product. Wild. A $1 million completely custom car built from scratch.
Rolls Royce, they're borrowing a business strategy from Pablo Picasso. And our third and final story. Yetis, holidays are over, but returns aren't. Get this, 17% of Christmas gifts are getting returned. So we found a solution to returns, the Achilles heel of e-commerce. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. I mean, no one else is doing that mix of stories. Love today's mix, Jack.
January, it's got a lot of highlights, including maybe your planuaries. It does. Yeah, January, you got New Year's, snow days, planuary, my birthday's coming up. There we go. But the biggest event in January is definitely Dating Sunday. Dating Sunday, not an official holiday. Yet. Because it should be. The data shows that this coming Sunday is the biggest day of the year for dating apps.
So yetis pop on some perfume, crush a little cologne, maybe toss that ax in the trash. Here's the deal. Sundays are generally the busiest day of the week for dating apps. On Sundays, you sit on a couch and you scroll through who looks cute. But Sundays in January are the busiest of busy. Get this. According to Tinder, Sundays in January get 18% more engagement than any other Sunday.
Because you're trying to get busy. And so you're swiping surges 70% higher. Sundays in January, it's the start of a data palooza. You're swiping on Sunday, so maybe you'd be whining on Wednesday. But Jack, the best part of swiping Sundays in January? Swipers are kinder. Yeah, the average DM gets a response 19.4 minutes faster on Sundays in January. There's also less ghosting this time of the year.
And the reason for this January Sunday phenomenon in dating, what is it, Jack? It's a combination of New Year's resolutions and Valentine's Day coming up. But we think it's because you look fantastic over there. Trust us, you have never looked better. So, besties, go Tinder your grinder. Go bumble your hinge. Or post up at a coffee shop in real life. Mormon-only dating app?
Sure, if that's your thing. Do it, because the greatest economic force in Q1 of this year and every year? The second Sunday in January. I think this date's gonna go really well, Jack. If I'm lucky, we'll hit our three stories.
