Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, why Elon Musk sold one of his companies to Elon Musk.
Then we'll recap the wobbly first quarter Wall Street has had to kick off the year. It's Monday, March 31st. Let's ride.
What a difference 200 miles makes. On Saturday, New York City was in full-on summer mode as temperatures reached 80 degrees. But just above I-95, the weather could not have been any different. On the same day, people living in Boston were hit with freezing rain and temps in the mid-30s. That 45-degree temperature gap between Boston and New York City isn't just good material for small talk.
It's history. Meteorologists said it was the widest temperature difference between the two cities on record. Meanwhile, in Connecticut, they couldn't decide which side to take per usual.
I mean, it was snowing briefly in Boston. Meanwhile, you and me, Neil, we were golfing in short sleeves. The farmer's stands were coming out in droves. Really drives home what they say about Boston, though. New York prices, Chicago weather, Scranton culture.
Oh, you're doing Boston dirty. Now a word from our new sponsor, Tax Act. Toby, you look a little pale today. What is going on?
Well, first of all, Neil, it's been winter, so I'm not exactly sun-kissed. But also, it's tax season. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous.
