Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the gigantic economic stakes of the Harvard versus White House feud.
Then Chinese TikTokers are slinging luxury goods directly from factory floors, but are $6 yoga pants legit? It's Thursday, April 17th. Let's ride.
Tap, tap. Is this thing on? Can you hear me? Okay, just checking because yesterday was a different story. Spotify suffered a widespread outage from about 6.20 a.m. Eastern to nearly noon, frustrating all of us who wanted to listen to podcasts or our day list in the morning. I'll say it, Toby. I was pretty much useless without my obsessed Pink Pilates princess early morning jams.
It was very funny to see all the Spotify listeners come over to YouTube. It was like two different MBD tribes making contact for the first time. And it was mostly peaceful. Some said, hey, it's kind of nice over here. I think I'll stay. So that was a nice byproduct of the outage. It's also two different commenting cultures I've noticed. There's this core group of YouTube listeners who...
Just want to be the first one to post a comment in the morning. So it's always just first, second, third. Ah, nice try. And then over on Spotify, there's this core group of listeners who just comment on audio quality a lot, which makes sense because it's an audio platform. Apple Podcasts, no idea what's going on over there because there's no comment section at all. But we love you all equally.
Thank you for listening no matter what platform you do it on. Sorry again for the outage. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, I was playing kickball over the weekend, classic rec league tilt, and it hit me just how important it is to have that one player who can do it all.
The mythical utility player they can pitch, catch, sprint to first without pulling a hammy.
