Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Amazon is removing support for old Kindles. Can it not e-read the room? Then Google just changed search forever.
It's Wednesday, May 20th. Let's ride.
Good morning and happy Wednesday. Two more days until the long weekend, we got this. So you've heard of girl dinner, but do you know about boy kibble? It's the new food trend taking over social media, the Wall Street Journal reported. Essentially, it's super customizable bowl slop, typically anchored by ground beef and rice as a base than any veggies and sauce combos you wanna throw on top.
It's often accompanied on the side by another big trend on social media, cucumber salad. Gen Z boys are the primary consumers of boy kibble, but plenty of women have embraced it too. Toby, what's this obsession with a dish that looks like something you'd feed your dog?
I'm just going to tell you, my fiance is going out of town for her bachelorette today in a bowl of lightly seasoned beef and rice is calling my name in the future. Here's my contribution to the boy kibble discourse. If you put a runny egg on it and any sort of herb, it's okay.
White rice and beef, kind of sad, kind of boring, but white rice, beef, an egg, and some green onions, you're nearly to a bulgogi bowl at that point. But the reason why I'm team boy kibble and the reason why so many people are team boy kibble is it's efficient. You don't have to think about things. It is budget friendly. It's macro-friendly as well.
It's very easy to know what you're eating when you just reduce the amount of ingredients. So I am Team Boy Kibble for life and will be indulging at a later date this week. And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads. Neil, did you ever invest in something that just didn't live up to the hype? Yes, a young writer slash social media account manager.

Chapter 2: How is Google transforming its search experience with AI?
And they did that very well. So that's why people are really clinging onto them and have a soft spot for these old Kindles.
I love that people are turning off Wi-Fi and putting it permanently in airplane mode because if it ever connects, then it will update to the new thing. So they're putting it in the back of their closet. They're saying never connect to Wi-Fi going forward just to keep the Eden that they currently have within their e-reader world.
If I'm Amazon, though, you've got to know that people have intense, intense feelings towards their Kindle. So just from a PR perspective, yes, maybe it will take some more resources to support this functionality. But in terms of your most passionate readership base, they're definitely Kindle owners.
We all know someone who just like really, really loves their Kindle, maybe even a little bit too much. So interesting PR play from Amazon, but from a business perspective, you can see why they're doing it. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and come back with a story about Pizza Hut right after this.
Toby, how's your bone density these days? Well, according to my doctor, it's not very good. That's not how air quotes work, but maybe you should try FlavCity's all-in-one protein smoothies.
