What is the significance of Black Friday sales this year?
Good morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, what are BRICS countries and why do they want to move off the U.S.
dollar? Then Black Friday shopping numbers are in and it looks like we all needed a little retail therapy this year. It's Monday, December 2nd. Let's ride.
We are so back. Welcome, everyone, to the best stretch of the year, that time between Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the lights, holiday markets, nutmeg smells, and music. And speaking of music, I just want to say good luck to everyone participating in Whamageddon. If you haven't heard of this, it's an annual challenge in which players try to avoid hearing Last Christmas by Wham!
Why did Australia ban social media for kids under 16?
from December 1st, yesterday, through Christmas Eve. Toby, this seems impossible.
It seems impossible, but let's get into some specifics. There is an official Wham-A-Get in sight, and it lays out some rules you need to follow. The first two are just the objective of the game, and then two, the time frame of the game, as you mentioned, December 1st through the 24th. But the third rule is the most important. You are allowed to listen to covers and remixes, so it only applies to the original version of Last Christmas by Wham that will make you lose. And Neil, I know you have done some digging into the best covers of this song. What are some different versions people could listen to to get their last Christmas fix without losing the game?
Yeah, to be honest, they don't hold a candle to the original. But if you need to listen to this song but still want to compete in the challenge, there are plenty of covers out there by Jimmy Eat World, Hilary Duff, Carly Rae Jepsen, and the cast of Glee. There's also one by Taylor Swift.
What are the implications of Trump's tariffs on BRICS nations?
Oh, my gosh. I already lost this year's Ram again in challenge by just going to a department store. So definitely avoid the Nordstrom's in the Macy's of the world if you want to win. Now a word from our sponsor, Yahoo Finance.
Neil, how was the long weekend? Oh, you know, full of interesting side dishes and family time and some good dinner table conversations.
How are coffee prices affecting consumers?
Same here, but those dinner table convos can get a little dicey around this time of year. Luckily, I have a pretty finance-focused family, so a lot of our conversations revolved around the market. I'd love to hear a Howell family market breakdown. Honestly, it was mostly just, so is NVIDIA going to go up forever? But while I'm not the guy to give financial advice, I did recommend that they all check out Yahoo Finance. It's got way more information than I could ever dole out over a side of mashed potatoes.
from experts. Talking about Yahoo Finance over Thanksgiving meals. Now that is a company man right there.
What is the latest update on banana art?
Hey, Yahoo is what I use, so I want the fam to be armed with the best data possible as well.
That's just being considerate. If you want to be like Toby's family, which who wouldn't, head to YahooFinance.com today.
