Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, how Spirit Airlines went from industry disruptor to Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Then who is Brendan Carr, Trump's new pick to lead the FCC? It's Tuesday, November 19th. Let's ride.
Good morning. It is great to be back here in the studio with you, Toby, and with you, our wonderful listeners. Anyone tuning in from Utqiagvik, Alaska? If so, I do not envy your next two months. In this city, 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the sun set yesterday at 127 local time, and it won't rise again until January 22nd.
For 64 days, residents there will be living in what's known as polar night. Makes you feel a little bit better about the sun setting at 430 here in the evening hours.
But here's something to remember. Over the course of the year, Utqiagvik will actually experience the exact same amount of daylight as any other place on Earth. So if we fast forward to May 11th, 2025, the sun will rise in Utqiagvik and it won't set until August 19th. So there is a life lesson in there somewhere, even though you might go through periods of extended darkness or extended sunshine.
It all evens out in the end. Now, a word from our sponsor, Yahoo Finance.
