Good morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Yale is doing something even more unthinkable than when they rejected me.
Then Nike partnered with one of the greatest middle distance runners of all time to try and break the women's four minute mile barrier. It's Thursday, April 24th. Let's ride.
Good Thursday morning. We missed a big birthday yesterday. YouTube turned 20 years old. Time sure does fly when you go down the Denver airport conspiracy rabbit hole. On April 23, 2005, the first video was uploaded to YouTube, grainy 19-second footage of a visit to the elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo.
the 20 years since has seen a lot of videos and a lot of growth from lonely island to the evolution of dance to coney 2012 to gangnam style to mr beast now youtube is estimated to be worth about 550 billion dollars as a standalone business more than netflix toby i know it's hard to choose but i have to ask what's your favorite youtube video ever
Well, first, I just want to go down memory lane here because I grew up with YouTube. It was right smack dab in my early days. So remember the OK Go music videos on the treadmills? There's obviously Charlie Bit Me and then Charlie the Unicorn as well. Harry Potter Puppet Pals. As I read through this list, I'm like, what was going into my brain during these formative years?
And then Dude Perfect was a big one, too. They were very early to the YouTube days as well. But those were foundational, and I hope some of our listeners can remember those. But the YouTube video I've probably watched the most, and that is my favorite, is one called Where Dreams Go to Die, Gary Robbins and the Barkley Marathons.
This is an inside look into what is considered the hardest ultramarathon in the world. So anytime I have to do something hard, I watch that YouTube video for a little perspective because nothing is as hard as the Barkley marathons. Do you have a favorite YouTube video in mind?
I mean, recently it's been Rory McIlroy every shot final round at the Masters. I've been watching that one on repeat.
Recency bias, but I think that one is well. Totally recency bias. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, you ever upgrade your phone and immediately start to wonder how you were ever rocking the old one?
