1️⃣ “Lyft-off” — Our Lyft stock pick. Japan’s $3.2M lucky tuna. Lego’s smart brick. +Starbucks gift cards

This is Nick. This is Jack. It is Wednesday, ceviche, Wednesday, January 7. 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, I'm wearing Slammin' Salmon today, and we are excited for this pod. Why is that, man? We're pulling a Jim Cramer and sharing one of our three big stock picks for 2026. And now so far in 2026, it seems like just about all stocks are up. Right? The S and P 500 about to hit 7,000 for the first time ever. Not too shabby. It's all time high end, but, Jack, three stories we got in today's t boy. What do we got on the show? For our first story, a man in Japan known as the tuna king just spent a record $3,200,000 on one single tuna fish because this one most expensive fish ever could actually save Japan's economy. For our second story, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Lego just just unveiled their first ever electronic brick. Because to fight the screen, you need a screen. And our third and final story. For the first time ever on this pod, we're doing our portfolio resolutions. Our three stock picks for the new year. And our first first stock pick for 2026, what is it, Jack? It's worth one left. Maybe you know. You know. But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. Woah. What a mix of stories. Love the mix for ceviche Wednesday, Jack. Remember our story just in December, actually, on the economics of gift cards? Yeah. Top story of the year. They are the number one gift of the holiday season, the gift card. The old data is that one out of seven Americans were getting Starbucks gift cards for the holidays. But Starbucks just served us up some new data. In 2025, one out of five Americans received a Starbucks gift card for the holidays. Apparently, America's love language is a Starbucks gift card double digit lattes. Nothing says I latte you like a Starbucks gift card. Oh, and by the way, a record $60,000,000 of them were bought just on Christmas Eve. That is more money spent on Starbucks gift cards in one day than DoorDash, Spotify, or the Gap make in any day. So, Yetis, since half of us got some kind of a gift card over the holidays, we have an assignment. Oh, what is the assignment, Jack? Time to spend those gift cards. According to SCC filings, Target has $1,200,000,000 in unused gift cards out there. Starbucks has $1,800,000,000, and Amazon has $5,400,000,000 of unused gift cards. Sit down, stand up, and besties, this is your reminder to whip open the random drawer that you put all your gift cards in. Happy gift card swiping Wednesday. Yeah. We're trying to make that a fail to all those who celebrate. You know what they say …
