This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Friday, the real Friday, January 17th. And today's pod is the best one yet. This is a tea boy. By the way, my mouth feels so roomy. I was going to say. Like the wisdom tooth's out. I got all this room for my tongue and my teeth. You didn't need that tooth. I feel fantastic. By the way, Jack, celebrate the wins.
Our new show was just named New and Noteworthy on Apple. There you go.
I know.
If you go to Apple Podcasts, right on the front page, you're going to see the best idea yet. Oh, so cool to see that promotion. Celebrate the wins. Jack, three stories for today's T-boy, though. What do we got on the pod? For our first story, TikTok is scheduled to shut down on Sunday. Yeah. We repeat, TikTok is going dark in two days.
So Jack and I will tell you what to expect on Sunday morning when you instinctively try to open that app. For our second story, for the first time in a generation, whiskey sales are falling in America. The great bourbon booms become the great bourbon bubble bust. But Nick and I have a solution for Jack Daniels. We do, we do, we do. We call it Whiskey World.
For our third and final story, language is changing across America, and you can see it in business. In fact, you can see it specifically in Andoril, a drone startup that just made a huge announcement. But yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. No one else is doing that mix. Love the mix of stories, Jack.
Nick, as a former Olive Garden waiter, can I share the worst part of working at a restaurant? Jack, you were the wine salesman of the month. I would love to hear the worst part of your olive garden job. Rolling silverware. Oh, that doesn't sound fun. You needed to stack up a knife, a spoon, and a fork, and then wrap it up in a napkin so it looks elegant.
And you couldn't leave your shift until you do that 50 times. Sounds like a torturous Jenga. But over at Chick-fil-A, Jack, what is the most hated part of the job? Squeezing lemons. That's right. Lemonade. Yetis, at Chick-fil-A, the thing employees hate the most is the lemonade. Because squeezing lemons gets citrus all over you.
You burn your hands, you sting your eyes, you smell like lemon pledge. And if there's a crack in your finger or if you have a cut, if lemon gets in there, Don't even start, but get this, Yetis. Chick-fil-A has an elegant new solution. Robots that will squeeze the lemons for you. That's right.
