Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Trump wants to scrap New York City's congestion pricing plan, but can he?
Then Apple added a new cheap iPhone to its lineup, but it's what's under the hood that has investors excited. It's Thursday, February 20th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
Good morning. If it were 2009, our Facebook wall would be pouring in with messages from randos because it is our birthday. Morning Brew Daily is turning to today. On our first episode way back in 2023, some topics we covered were meta charging for verification, Biden taking a train trip and ice cover on the Great Lakes, a real scintillating debut from your boys.
Thank you so much to all the OGs who've been listening since that first episode and to everyone who has hopped on the bandwagon since. It is a real privilege to be able to do this for two years now. And Toby, I'm pretty excited about being two. Lots of key milestones to hit. We should be able to say at least two words together. Walk up a few stairs without help and eat from a spoon.
Time flies when you're saying let's ride. I will spare you all my rendition of happy birthday. Instead, just pass along how thankful Neil and I and the whole team is for you guys. From the literal day one-ers who comment on every YouTube video to our brand new listeners, you all are what make MBD MBD. Now let's go and party.
And by party, I mean tell you about today's sponsor, which is LinkedIn Ads. Neil and I were golfing the other day. Yes, in February. And we saw this guy on the range.
He was just firing balls out left and right. Wouldn't even stop to aim. Just swing, swing, swing, swing. Made the whole round a disaster because he wouldn't even look at where he was hitting the ball on the course. It was ready, fire, aim. It's the exact wrong way to golf and the exact wrong way to run ad campaigns.
