Dude, my preference is Tush. If you want to go with Tushy, it might be funny if we do both. Well, I think that Tushy is the lower priced model, Jack. This is Nick. This is Jack. Welcome back. It is Monday, January 6th, and today's predictions pod is the best one yet. This is a T-boy. Our top three pop business wishes for 2025.
Well, Jack, I got to say, you're looking fantastic because you are a whole lot tanner over there than two weeks ago. I'm back from Bahamas slash Florida. Nick, you're back from Hawaii. Do people get tan in Hawaii? They do, and I ate more spam than I usually do. I thought pineapples were in Hawaii, not spam. It's a smoothie obsession you've got.
Yetis, this is our first pod of 2025, and it is already... the best pod of 2025. Because this is our predictions pod, our three big business wishes for 2025. Jack and I have spent hours at the crystal ball. Jack, what are our three predictions for this year? For our first wish, Disney will acquire Spirit Airlines out of bankruptcy and rebrand it Disney Air.
Disney, they already dominate hospitality on land and on sea. Why not in the sky? For our second wish, Apple will launch a smart toilet. This will be Apple's eye tush. An Apple smart toilet. Yetis, after we tell you why Apple should create a smart toilet. You're going to be shocked they haven't done this yet, honestly. And our third and final wish. Home Depot should begin selling homes.
Jack and I got a bold plan for Home Depot to fix the housing market with actual homes. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. than this. No one's wishing for this. Yeti's the number two rule of prediction podcasts. What is it, Nick? Jack, here's what it is. We got to check ourselves from last year's predictions.
So we're dusting off the old whiteboard and we're looking at how we did in last year's predictions. Jack, I'm looking at the numbers right now and last year's predictions went... we were one-ish for three. One-ish, basically one for three. Now, we should point out, we call these wishes because we wish they would happen. And we think that they could happen.
Because there's serious business merit behind each of these wishes we have in this episode. And Jack and I discuss, debate, analyze, and finance each one of these wishes before we prepare them for this podcast. So think of them more as wishes than predictions. but yeah. All right, so Jack, let's walk through them. How'd we do last year? One-ish for three. What did we do?
We wished that Robinhood would merge with Twitter. And that didn't happen. Something very different happened to Twitter, while Robinhood had a major rebound on its own. But overall, the two companies did nothing together, so that wish was wrong. Now, our second prediction, we wished that Taylor Swift would launch her own ticketing service in 2024. It's me. Hi, Ticketmaster. I'm your problem.
It's me. We would have called it Swiftix. And she could have disrupted the feeocracy by ending outrageous ticket fees. Like the fee fee. But Taylor, she was too busy. So she didn't have time to launch a business. And that wish was wrong. 0 for 2. Okay, our third prediction. We wished that Trader Joe's would launch a streaming service. We did. Call it TJTV+. And Jack, that one...
