Devin Emery is our president, and our show is a production of Morning Brew.

Good morning, Brew Daily Show.

I'm Neil Freiman.

And I'm Toby Howell.

Today, SpaceX is going public in the biggest ever IPO.

Will it soar to the stars or blow up on the launch pad?

Let's say I pluck you up like a ladybug and drop you in a house or a museum or a supermarket or any other enclosed space and told you to start walking around.

Which direction do you think you'd go first?

Well, a new study found that almost always you'll start walking left first.

Researchers in Spain have concluded that humanity has a baffling, unexplained tendency for counterclockwise motion.

Doesn't matter where you're from, your background, how old you are, whether you're right hand dominant or right eye dominant, people just have this innate left turn bias, which is surprising given our most famous strutter, Derek Zoolander, said he was not an ambi-turner and ever since he was a baby, he couldn't turn left.

Tell me, what is going on?

Why are we, besides Zoolander, seemingly programmed to go counterclockwise?

Neither do I.

But it's true that the researchers are like, yeah, we literally have no idea why this is happening.

We know that tracks go counterclockwise.

A number of things in our lives go counterclockwise.

But still, it's completely unexplained.

Maybe your liver explanation has a little legs to it.

Mine was the grocery store explanation.
