Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, President Trump said Jerome Powell's termination can't come soon enough. But can he fire the Fed chair?

Then Netflix is looking like the calm within the tariff storm. It just reported some tasty first quarter earnings. It's Friday, April 18th. Let's ride.

Good Friday morning everyone, and I mean that literally because today is Good Friday. That means the markets are closed for the holiday and many of you are looking ahead to the Easter weekend. If there's one thing clouding Easter celebrations this year, it's the price of eggs, which are up about 60% compared to a year ago. Some companies are offering less budget busting alternatives.

Jet puffed marshmallows released a color dying kit as a festive mess free twist on egg decoration for two bucks. which includes six colors, decorating pens, and of course, a 24-ounce bag of marshmallows. Toby, what would you draw on a marshmallow?

95.031 - 117.672 Toby Howell

I would draw an impression of the roof of my mouth because I am eating those things, Neil. Definitely a two-to-one ratios of marshmallows decorated to marshmallows consumed. but this trend of finding ways to have some Easter fun without eggs is a fun one. Some moms at a Facebook group were dying potatoes in passing them off as eggs. Not as delicious, but also cost effective.

118.112 - 139.965 Toby Howell

Also rocks, literal rocks, definitely not as fun to eat as marshmallows, but still most of the appeal of dying eggs is just the tradition of it and that you do it with your family. So as long as you keep that going, it doesn't matter if it's actually an egg or a rock or a marshmallow. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, you know how some actors just own every scene they're in?

140.125 - 145.986 Neal Freiman

Oh yeah, it doesn't matter if it's a rom-com or a courtroom drama. They walk on screen and boom, you're just locked in.
