Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Argentina's president is caught in a scandal after promoting a meme coin that collapsed.
Then another 30 under 30 alum is set to stand trial today. Turns out fake it till you make it isn't always the best advice. It's Tuesday, February 18th. Let's ride.
Welcome back to the short week. Hope you had a relaxing weekend. Look, there are a lot of things to worry about in this world, but maybe getting attacked by a shark is not one of them. According to a new report from the Florida Museum of Natural History, 2024 was a quote, exceptionally calm year for shark bites.
There were only 47 unprovoked attacks around the world last year, down 22 from the previous year and far below the 10 year average of 70. Toby, I think it's time. I'm ready to watch Jaws again.
My question here, though, is where are these attacks taking place? Because there still were attacks worldwide. Last year, there were 28 confirmed bites in the United States. That accounted for 60% of the worldwide total. And half of those attacks took place in my home state of Florida. Florida had a total of 14 bites. And of those, eight occurred in Volusia County, which is on the East Coast.
It's that Daytona Beach area. It's known as the shark attack capital of the world. So even though bites were down, there still were a few off the coast of Florida. All this being said, less instances of people being shark bait hoo-ha-ha worldwide, and that's a good thing. Now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads. Hope you all listening had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Neil, I was out to dinner on Friday and saw this couple eating, and you could just tell it wasn't going anywhere. That's painful. Get all dressed up, go out to eat. But if the spark isn't there, what's the point? If you aren't right for each other, going on a Valentine's date is just a waste of time and money. It's a lot like marketing to the wrong customers.
