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?
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.
