Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, one more day until July 4th. How much do you know about the United States?
We'll test our coworkers and you in this special holiday trivia episode. It's Friday, July 3rd. Let's ride. Let's ride.
Good morning on July 4th Eve when I hope you aren't working and are staying cool in this brutal heat. To ease you into the Independence holiday weekend, we've recorded another Morning Brew Daily game show. We asked three of our very funny friends from around the office to come on the podcast and answer a bunch of trivia questions. And today's trivia has a special theme, America at 250 years old.
Neil always says I give out way too many hints, but I say I just like to see people succeed. And now a word from our sponsor, Ultra Running. Toby, how is your toe room? Neil, you think I have money for a whole room dedicated to toes?
Toby, I mean in your shoes. What would a toe room even look like? We don't need to get into that.
What's important here is that most running shoes are narrow at the toe, but Altra has more room for your toes so they can spread out and your feet can stay in a natural position. The Altra Fit is designed to give you room for your toes for comfort, balance, and strength. Altra actually makes shoes shaped like feet. What a concept.

Joining us on the show today are three of the fiercest competitors we could find around the office. They'll play five rounds of trivia and the person with the most points at the end will win the grand prize of Toby. What is our prize?
So I did not clear this prize with Neil, but our prize is Neil will post a story of you on his Instagram saying you're the smartest person he's ever met, even smarter than himself. So play hard, everybody.
Yeah, this is news to me. That is big. All of my five followers will be able to see that. So if you're not following me yet, this is a good opportunity to follow me for that picture. Let's quickly get to know our contestants who may or may not be take a picture with me later and be the smartest person I know. First up is Henrik Blix.
What trivia questions are asked to test knowledge of America?
Wow. What's up? Nothing. Let me do that again. First up is Henrik Blix, senior branded video producer. Henrik, who is your celebrity lookalike?
I've gotten Macaulay Culkin a decent amount. Do you think that's accurate? I think it's fair, yeah. I don't love it, but I think it's fair.
Nothing like an audio product doing lookalikes as their introduction.
If you're listening to this, just imagine somebody who looks like Macaulay Culkin all growed up.
All right, up next, it's Ethan McCarthy, social video producer. Ethan, who's your celebrity lookalike?
Something I've been getting a lot recently is the white half of Logic.
I see that, unfortunately.
I do see that. Okay, finally is our, hey, this is exciting, our very own Olivia Lake, associate producer on Morning Brew Daily. Olivia, I guess let's go three for three. Who is your celebrity lookalike?
Uh, recently, I guess with the world cup happening, I've been getting, what's his name? I forget his name.
Erling Holland.
Erling Holland. Erling Holland.
