Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, stocks are tumbling and businesses are scrambling after President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on Liberation Day.
Then the Nintendo Switch 2 was unveiled, and it costs nearly the same as an Xbox. It's Thursday, April 3rd. Let's ride.
So much news to get to today, but first, some random fun facts. Gotta get that brain stretched out in the morning before putting it to work. A few days ago, an ex-user posted, does anyone have any random fun facts about a very niche subject?
And people delivered with great tidbits like, crickets are actually tiny thermometers because their chirp count correlates to the temperature, or the earth actually takes 365 days and six hours to orbit the sun, hence a leap year every four years. Tell me, You got any other fun facts?
Well, first of all, some of these viral answers, you definitely had to fact check. And Community Notes was having a field day. So that's why the first fact I picked came from Encyclopedia Britannica. And they said, October 31st, 2000 was the last time all of humanity was on Earth. Since then, there's always been at least one person in space. So commit that to memory to use at cocktail parties.
And the next one is just more of a tip. And that's from user What's Up Caramel. And her tip was, Barilla Pasta has a Spotify playlist. Each playlist is the exact length of cook time for the varieties of pasta. Press play, drop the noodles, music stops, al dente noodles, which honestly is a very helpful fact and it's way more fun than a kitchen timer.
So yeah, these are just stuff that you can drop. Say you claimed them from Morning Brew Daily or just say that you came up with them yourself, but very good small talk alternatives to saying what's going on with the weather these days. Now, a word from our sponsor, TaxAct. Neil, you ever feel like doing your taxes is like trying to read a foreign language?
