This is Nick. This is Jack. It's Wednesday, poke Wednesday. I'm sorry, ceviche Wednesday, January 8th. 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. The stock market just had its first bad day of 2025. The S&P fell 1.3%. The NASDAQ fell 2%. No clear reason why, but apparently it's not going to be a perfect year, Jack. We're not going to get that win streak we were hoping for. No, the streak is over. But still, we got three fantastic stories for today's show, Jack. What do we got? For our first story, Zuck just announced the biggest policy change in years. Instagram and Facebook are done fact checking because Meta has gone MAGA. We'll explain. For our second story, alcohol stocks. They're down big after the Surgeon General said that alcohol causes cancer. Besties, your next bottle of Jack Daniels could come with a warning label. Big one. And our third and final story, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's brand new indoor golf league debuted last night on ESPN. But this golf league is not designed for greens. This golf league is designed for screens. For Shooter McGee. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Fantastic mix of stories. Love the mix today, Jack. We have some great news. If your news resolution was to look hotter this year. Yeah, because the first big beauty trend in 2025 is egg whites. Bad news if you're a vegan, just to be clear. Yeah, spoiler alert. Because egg white face masks are back, baby. Actually, the egg white face mask dates back to the early Italian Renaissance. Women used to paint their faces with egg white liquid in order to achieve a paler look on their face. Well, thanks to TikTok, egg white facial is back, baby. And it's the fastest growing beauty trend in the market. That's right. Gen Z is trading out CeraVe for chicken eggs. Yetis, here's the news. Videos mentioning egg white skincare have surged 1.5 million percent in just the last quarter. What we're saying is that we're wearing egg whites for 15 minutes to look 15 years younger. Jack, you want a 43 step skincare routine? Did you add this to this thing yet? This is 44. Alex and I tried out the egg white omelet. Sorry, the egg white face mask. Dude, you paint it on your face. It eventually gets crusty and you sort of peel it off. And along with the egg that you're peeling off, you're peeling away imperfection and impurities. So Jack, you got a frittata facial. No, I got a fried egg face mask. Hey waiter, just put the Eggs Benedict on my brow. And that's it. You can walk away. Here's the best part. In this economy, egg whites are both a facial cleanser and a dinner. Because first you do the facial and then you eat the eggs. Exfoliate, activate, scramble. So Jack, it's kind of like Dr. Seuss always taught us, isn't it, man? I like egg whites on my chin. I like egg whites on my grin. Sam, I am. I feel hotter wherever eggs have been. Besties, let's hit our three stories. Two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50%, that's a fat tip. T-Boy City on your at list. If you know, you know, cause we ready to go. We can't wait no more, so just start the show.

Yetis, this year, we both flew somewhere for Christmas. Jack went to the Bahamas, I went over to Hawaii. We celebrated the wins. We did. But only I hosted my place on Airbnb. Must be nice. While I was gone. Besties, there are millions of Airbnb hosts, but Jack, he's the best one yet, and the ratings show it. There are millions more who've never thought about becoming an Airbnb host, but who should? Because if you got a house or an apartment, that is an asset. So don't let that asset go to waste when you're not using it. You can make a buck or two by hosting Holiday Travelers. It's an accessible side hustle. Okay, who you got this year? Who's coming to town, Jack? Well, Leslie and six guests stayed at my place the first week of vacation. They sound nice. Shannon and six other guests stayed the second week of vacation. Oh, by the way, Shannon, Jack put cookie dough in the freezer. I wish you told her that before. She could have wrote that in her review. And she'd give you six stars. Yetis, you can host your entire space or just your extra space. I've loved being an Airbnb host. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host. For our first story, Mark Zuckerberg just made Meta Go Maga. Zuck is ending fact-checking on Instagram and Facebook. So we're covering the history and the end of fact-checking. Oh, yeah, it is. Your Uncle Andy's Facebook post, the one about aliens abducting his neighbor's cow, is going to face a big change.
