Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Tesla's traditional car business is losing steam. Only self-driving can save it now.
That Netflix just had its biggest TV debut of all time, and it had nothing to do with the NFL. It's Friday, January 3rd. Let's ride.
It's that time of the year, the very beginning, when everyone is posting what's in and what's out for 2025. Toby, you consider yourself a tastemaker. You even have a segment called Toby's Trends, after all. So what's going to be in this year and what's going to be passe?
All right. In this year is earnestness. Out is aloofness. We are trying hard and taking things seriously in 2025. In, long-distance running. Out, long-distance relationships. Just move already. It's good for the soul. In, pronouncing words incorrectly, oddly enough. So we're giving ourselves some grace. Out is saying it Chipotle or Nvidia. Those two are crossing the line. And then finally, in...
Business news podcast. Absolutely. Out. Being uninformed. I feel like that one speaks for itself. Neil, you don't have a Toby's Trends segment, but do you have an in and out?
I have a few. My first one has to do with running as well. I think running clubs are out. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Too many. Swimming is in. Connections is out. Crosswords are in. I think TikTok is out, whether there's a ban or not. And it's going to be a big year for LinkedIn. So LinkedIn is in. And then my last one is the concept of vibes are out.
There's been too much talk of vibes over the past few years. No one really knows what it means. What's in is going to be data based decision making.
Okay, here's what I want to hear from you guys. Tell us if Toby's in and out are in or out, and then tell us if Neil's in and out are in and out. That might be a little confusing, but give us some feedback here.
All right, like all of you, U.S. states make their own resolutions on New Year's, but those come in the form of new laws. Tens of thousands of new laws went into effect on January 1st across the country, impacting everything from social media use to minimum wages to Taylor Swift tickets.
