Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, carnage on Wall Street as stocks plummeted to their worst day this year. Recession fears are real.
Then who is Mark Carney, the banker turned prime minister of Canada? It's Tuesday, March 11th. Let's ride.
Five years ago, March 11th, 2020, is a day none of us will soon forget because it was when you realized, oh, this pandemic thing is really going to shut down the world, isn't it? On that day five years ago, the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic. The NBA suspended its season after jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus, leading to mass confusion in the arena.
And Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson posted a photo on Instagram sharing that they got COVID-19 while in Australia. Toby, that evening is absolutely seared into my memory. Hard to believe it's been five whole years.
And we're going to take a deeper dive into it with a Toby's trend later in the show. But I'll add my own personal anecdote as well. Neil, you interviewed me for a job at the Morning Brew offices in Fidei in late February of 2020. And that turned out to be the last time I set foot in a Morning Brew office until we started this podcast three years later.
I'm sure lots of people graduating around that time had a similar experience. Hey, grab your computer. We're going to work from home for a little bit, which turned into a week, which turned into a month, which turned into a lot longer. But you are right. Absolutely seared in a lot of people's memories. Now a word from our sponsor, Invesco QQQ.
I hate to be that guy, but I am training for another marathon. You have always been that guy, Toby. Are you doing anything differently this time around? I'm trying to remember the big picture this time and not go too hard on any one day.
