This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesdays of VK Wednesday, December 4th. 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. Well, Jack, to quote Karen Smith, on Wednesdays, we do wear pink. Looking good over there. Yeah, you too, man. You too.
For those watching on YouTube right now, Jack wearing slam and salmon, I'm wearing slam and salmon, and we're feeling fantastic.
We also got three fantastic stories.
Great point. Great point. Jack, what do we got on today's T-Boys? What's on the pod? For our first story, Jaguar, the 100-year-old British car company, has controversially burned down their brand. But Jack and I are asking the big question. Did Jaguar burn down its brand or did it actually light it up? For our second story, we're looking at male nurses.
Because the number of male nurses in America has tripled in the past 20 years. And this is actually a double win for the future American workforce. And our third and final story. Bravo and Netflix reality TV show host Ryan Serhant is known for million-dollar real estate listing. But can an influencer launch a real estate app? But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories.
Fantastic mix of stories. No one else is doing this mix. The week after Thanksgiving, every family has to face an existential holiday question. It's actually an existential argument. When to buy the Christmas tree. Do you buy immediately and get as many days of merry as possible? Oh. A whole month of mistletoe and ornaments not too shabby. Or do you buy later when it's closer to the festivities?
I'm kind of still eating Thanksgiving leftovers. It doesn't feel like Christmas tea drop and shine. It turns out, Yetis, there's another key variable you have to consider when timing your Christmas tree purchase. And what is that, Jack? The price. Price, get this, besties. According to the payments company Square, the price of a Christmas tree declines every single day. until Christmas.
Hear us out. The most expensive day to buy a Christmas tree is the most ironic day for something to be expensive. Turns out the average price on Black Friday last year was 112 bucks a tree. Black Friday is the most expensive day to get a Christmas tree. Black Friday, great for shopping deals, bad for spruce deals. So if you go straight from turkey to tinsel, you're paying the most for your tree.
But after that, the price of that pine is dropping 2% every single day.
