Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, sailing across the Pacific, you're probably going to beat Google Maps' ETA because there's no traffic.
Then 60 Minutes spent a few of its minutes calling out its corporate owner as tensions rise ahead of a multi-billion dollar merger. It's Tuesday, April 29th. Let's ride.
Toby, welcome back. We need to hear all about London and running the marathon. First of all, how sore are you?
I will tell you what, a seven-hour transatlantic flight post-marathon leads to soreness levels I have never experienced. But the experience itself, awesome. I ran... the New York Marathon last year, and the fans in London might be even rowdier, maybe because they are a couple pints deep by that point, more so than their American counterparts. Also, way more costumed runners.
I saw a guy dressed as Big Ben, Wonder Woman, a shark, the king, the queen, and I was in a corral with a guy wearing a full three-piece Peaky Blinders-esque suit, and all he said to me was, gonna be a hot one out there. He beat me, by the way. He passed me at like mile 22. I was like, oh no. But yes, great time. Loved every step, even if I didn't run it as fast as I wanted to.
On that note of competition, though, I do hear that MBD is up for a little award.
We are, which is pretty cool. We are a finalist in the business podcast category of the Shorty Awards, which is like the Oscars, but a little more prestigious.
Neil is right. They are kind of like the Oscars, but for digital and social media content and brands. I didn't win a medal over in London, but you can help us and our whole team win some hardware by heading to vote at the link in the podcast description. Voting closes tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, not London time, Eastern Standard.
So send this to your friends, your family, to your shorty, and let's go win MBD a shorty award. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, you ever use one of those pens that just glides across the page?
