How did CEO Killer merchandise go viral?
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, more Americans are falling behind on basic skills. Is it TikTok's fault?
Then you really can buy anything on Amazon. It's now selling cars. It's Wednesday, December 11th. Let's ride.
Earlier this week, Time Magazine released the shortlist for its Person of the Year, who will be announced tomorrow. So I want to play a little quiz with you all. Toby, you can participate too. I'm going to give you a list of six names. Five are finalists for Time's Person of the Year, and one is not a finalist. Try to guess which one is the imposter I included on the list. Here we go.
Oh, my gosh.
They all seem that my initial thought was Caitlin Clark, because maybe she's just not quite big enough. But my other thought was Mark Zuckerberg, because I don't know, other than come on our podcast, what really big thing did he do this year? But tell us what is the correct answer?
What are the results of Javier Milei's presidency in Argentina?
The correct answer is Caitlin Clark is the imposter. Oh, wait. So Mark Zuckerberg is shortlisted for Times Person of the Year, but I agree with you. I'm not exactly sure what he did except, you know, get a makeover a little bit. Caitlin Clark did win Times Athlete of the Year yesterday. So she is going home with some hardware, but she is not up for Person of the Year. Who do you think is going to win Person of the Year?
That was sneaky, Neil. I think, wait, is Elon Musk on the shortlist? Yeah. Okay, so he might go back to back. Oh, no, he didn't win it last year. So I think probably Elon Musk. He's pretty dang influential.
You know who else is influential? Donald Trump. He is by far the odds-on favorite to win this thing tomorrow morning.
How can you buy a car on Amazon now?
Fair enough. Now a word from our sponsor, Sage.
Neil, in your eyes, what makes a successful CFO? For me, a successful CFO is one I never have to think about because they are off doing successful CFO things beyond my comprehension.
They are a little like magicians in that way, but they're not actually magic. They're real people who need real tools to drive growth across their businesses.
Instead of a magic wand, finance pros need Sage. The days of not knowing how to do a VLOOKUP are over. Use Sage to cut accounting time and grow your business faster.

What does the decline in American adult literacy mean?

On Monday, Luigi Maggioni was charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And just hours later, online stores were flooded with merch that sported his name and likeness alongside phrases like, in this house, Luigi Maggioni is a hero. T-shirts, coffee mugs, stickers, you name it, people were selling it. Wired found nearly 100 listings featuring Mangione's name or image on Etsy alone, and over 800 results come up if you search for deny, defend, depose, the three words that were etched into the bullet shell casings at the scene of the murder last week. It's been one of the stories within the story of the assassination, how different parts of the internet have reacted and in some cases embraced Mangione. The McDonald's that Mangione was spotted at in Altoona, Pennsylvania, it's been review-bombed with hundreds of people flooding the restaurant's Google page with negative reviews calling the workers rats and snitches.
