Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, pray for Disney adults after the company announced it was building a new theme park in a surprising location.
Then a single sentence uttered by an Apple exec shaved $150 billion off of Google's market cap. It's Thursday, May 8th. Let's ride.
It is a very special day for me and everyone else who is 5'8". May 8th, 5'8", is our height day. So happy height day to all the just below average kings celebrating today, including Zac Efron, Ed Sheeran, Eminem, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Holland.
What a crew. Neil, I could have sworn, at least according to your dating profile, that your height day isn't until tomorrow, though. Funny how that works. But must be the shoes you're wearing today. Anyways, my height day isn't for a while. Cannot wait for July 9th, everyone.
And now a word from our sponsor, Planet O. Neil, remember that game everyone would play in middle school where you'd plan your life out? Dream job, dream house, dream partner.
Oh yeah, though I was very locked in on the dream house part. I wanted a skylight, obviously, a secret door behind a bookcase, and a fridge that never runs out of food. I had very elevated taste.
Now the fridge part is intriguing. Imagine opening the door and always seeing a gleaming carton of planted oats sitting there. Rich, creamy, smooth, like the oat milk version of heated floors.
