Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, how did everyone manage to survive the upside-down plane crash in Toronto?
Then a move over, Michael Jordan. Kim Kardashian is Nike's newest partner. It's Wednesday, February 19th. Let's ride.
Remember that asteroid they found that has a very small chance of hitting Earth seven years from now? That very small chance is now a small chance. Yesterday, NASA upgraded the probability of a collision by 2032 to 3.1%, or 1 in 32, up from just 1% in January. It's the highest probability given to an asteroid strike since 2004. If If this thing does impact Earth, still a remote possibility.
It could wipe out a city. The asteroid would make impact at 38,000 miles per hour with the equivalent of around 8 million tons of TNT or about 500 times the power of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. 3.1%, Toby, it keeps climbing.
Geez, Neil, get the heart rates going early in the morning just to put that 3% in perspective. If we were playing poker, Earth currently has aces, the asteroid has the 4-5 of spades, and the flop is ace, 8-9, no spades. So yes, technically... A 6 and a 7 could come out next to give the Asteroid a backdoor straight, but more than likely the set of aces is going to win.
That being said, Tom Brady and the Patriots did come back from 28-3 down when the Falcons had a 99.8% chance of winning based on ESPN's win probability chart. Leicester City did win the Premier League at 5,000-1 odds, which is a 0.02% chance. So, stranger things have happened. Now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads.
I was cooking dinner last night, Neil, and I got a little high on my own supply. I thought I could make a coconut rice curry soup without really looking at the recipe. Let me guess. Your broth to rice ratio was way off. Yes. I put way too much rice in. It sucked. everything up and I was left with more of a pilaf dish than an actual brothy soup. Almost made me want to throw it away and start again.
