This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Thursday, the new Friday, May 22nd. And today's pod is the best one yet, and this is a T-boy. The top three pop business news stories you need to know today. Yetis, I'm flying to France tonight, and Jack is somehow squeezing one more day of skiing in in New England. How is that possible? It's gonna snow this weekend, which is absurd.
I'm not planning to ski, but who knows? Maybe I'll stand on skis. As they say in France, Jack. Not possible. But three stories for today's show. Jack, what do we got on the pod? For our first story, just in time for Memorial Day weekend, we're predicting the drink of the summer. We use three trend spotting techniques to forecast the drink everyone's going to be drinking starting tomorrow.
For our second story, Warby Parker and Google just hooked up to create AI glasses. Okay, but Jack, OpenAI and the guy who designed the iPhone are also hooking up to create AI glasses. It's like love is blind for smart glasses. Yeah, it is, and we'll explain it all. And our third and final story.
There's a new best-selling car in America, and you're definitely going to see it on the roads this weekend. Jack and I will explain the RAV4 revolution because the RAV4 is going full hybrid, baby. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories. Love the mix today, Jack.
Memorial Day isn't just a celebration of veterans or a three-day weekend or the artificial start of summer. No, no, no, no, no. Memorial Day is also the biggest economic moment. For one industry. The car wash. The car wash. Get this. The Friday of Memorial Day is the biggest day of the year for washing cars.
Tomorrow, more Americans will spend more money washing cars than any other day of the year. That carburetor is getting cleaned up. Your chassis is going to look classy, Nick. Hey, exhibit, don't pimp my ride. Just wash the wheels. It's all I need, man. According to the small business startup Womply, car wash sales jumped 49% on Friday before Memorial Day.
We repeat, car washes are 49% more filled starting this time tomorrow than on any typical day. And the reason? It's that this is the weekend for road trips. You're hitting the road, baby. And if you're going to sit in the Hamptons traffic for five hours, you better look sharp doing it. This Bronco hasn't moved, but baby, do I look good in it, Jack?
So if I know you like I think I do, you're going to get the signature elite wash tomorrow with undercarriage glaze and the full wax job. You do know me because this has been the little known secret for years in the car wash industry. Tomorrow is their Super Bowl.
So, yetis, if your Lincoln is getting loofahed, if your Beamer is getting bedazzled, if your Kia is getting cleansed, then you're part of the Memorial Day weekend car wash rush. Hey, exhibit, you missed a spot, man. Nick, I love the places that do the hand toweling, the hand drying at the end. That's a tip-worthy service that you're paying for right there.
