Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Sam Altman called Elon Musk not a happy person. Let's go inside the billionaire battle over the future of AI.
Then the publishing world is locked in a heated debate over those little blurbs you see on the back of books. It's Wednesday, February 12th. Let's ride.
The Super Bowl wasn't the only contest that everyone you know is talking about this week. The Westminster Dog Show was held last night, and best in show went to a giant schnauzer named Monty. It's the most prestigious prize in the U.S. dog show world, where dogs are judged according to how closely they match the ideal for their breed.
Monty's owner and handler could barely hold back tears on the podium. Puppy did the damn thing, and I'm so proud of him, she said. Having been named the top dog, Monty will now be retiring from competition. Toby, what did you accomplish when you were five years old?
Absolutely nothing compared to Monty. This was Monty's third time in a row representing the working group classification of dogs. Screw the Chiefs dynasty. I'm all in on the Monty dynasty. Hopefully it kicks off a new era for the working group, though. This was its first win since 2004. You also got a feel for Bourbon the Whippet, who is a runner up for the third time at the competition.
And get this, the nine and a half year old Came out of retirement just days before the competition, so what a performance out of Bourbon. Other finalists did include the crowd favorite, Neil, the Bichon Frise representing the non-sporting group. Neil, never heard of a dog called Neil.
That is also the first time I've heard of a dog named Neil, and I feel bad for that dog, to be honest.
