Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, sales of the Bible are skyrocketing this year. Why is everyone curling up with two Corinthians?

Then TikTok shop had a Black Friday to remember. Is it actually a threat to dethrone Amazon? It's Tuesday, December 3rd. Let's ride. Your favorite suit.

Super Sub Kyle and the co-host of his podcast, Kayla, are hopping on MBD to talk about the hottest workplace trends they've identified on their show, per my last email. One segment their listeners love is called Am I the A-Hole, where people submit workplace questions for them to break down.
Toby Howell 1:40
If you've ever left a meeting and thought to yourself, did he just say that? Or maybe you've had a tense one-on-one with your boss that made a promotion feel even further away. Those are perfect fodder for the Am I an A-Hole situation. segment.
Neal Freiman 1:53

But MBD is not the only one with a video feed. Yahoo Finance also has a video tab you should check out.

It's a really good change of pace if you want to catch up on some market news without having to actually sit down and read the headlines.
Toby Howell 2:45
And rumor has it that hair and makeup actually shows up for Yahoo Finance's video team, so it's got that going for it.

If you want to see what sort of multimedia Yahoo Finance has to offer, just head to yahoofinance.com and click on the videos tab. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger was brought in three years ago to restore the struggling chipmaker to its former glory. But like Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, his veteran savvy didn't quite translate. Gelsinger retired as CEO yesterday after failing to see his turnaround plan through, leaving Intel in perhaps worse shape than when he began. By all accounts, this was a either-you-quit-or-we-fire-you situation. According to Bloomberg, Gelsinger was hauled in before the board last week to describe how he was planning to narrow the gap with Nvidia, the chipmaker that sprinted past Intel in the past several years. They apparently didn't like what they heard and gave Gelsinger the choice of retiring or being removed.
Toby Howell 3:40
investors that have been beaten down by Intel's cratering share price were happy about the move. They sent Intel stock up about 4% on the day, showing how they lost confidence in Gelsinger. Still, the company has lost about half of its value this year, and it's lost all of its reputation as America's chip-making champion on the world stage. So, Neil, what went so wrong here, and was it entirely on Gelsinger?
Neal Freiman 4:03
Look, he definitely inherited a company that was already feeling a bit creaky, way behind the eight ball. And that was due to decisions made by his predecessors that proved disastrous in hindsight. In one of those moves back in 2005, Intel turned down an opportunity to make the processor for the iPhone. Intel was a PC chip-making giant. They dominated the market for PC computer processors.
