Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the Dow is in its longest losing streak since 1978. So why aren't more people panicking?
Then Taco Bell is loco for pollo. It's adding a surprise new chicken dish to its menu this week. It's Wednesday, December 18th. Let's ride.
Got a fun thought starter for you all this morning. Maybe it'll help you come to a deeper understanding of what makes you, you. So someone on Twitter posed the question, what are your personal foundational texts? You know, the books you keep coming back to, the ones that most represent your values and interests, and you can't fathom having a personal library without them.
Toby, the people want to know, what are your foundational texts?
As part of this prompt, there was the question of these are books you revisit multiple times throughout your life, that you've read multiple times. And by that definition, the only foundational texts that I've read multiple times are mostly sci-fi or fantasy novels. The Eragon series growing up, I read multiple times.
World War Z by Max Brook is a book that I've read is a book I've read three times. The Red Rising series. Most of these were books that I did read as a kid. Then you revisit as an adult. There's something just very cathartic about that. But, you know, if we expand the definition beyond just books you've read multiple times, what are your foundational texts?
Yeah, when I was thinking about this prompt, I was thinking the one that like most values, most represents me as a person and the one that is just like a base layer for me. And I think when I was a kid, I would just look over the Atlas all the time. So I'm going with Atlas as my foundational text. I could just stare for maps at hours. I loved memorizing all of the countries of the world.
So we're going with Atlas. If I had to pick a book with a little more words than maybe Bill Bryson's A Walk in the That's pretty solid. So travel, humor, all those all those themes, I think, represent me as a person.
