Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Fryman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Chipotle will open its first locations in Mexico. What could go wrong?
Then in the wake of the Pope's death, people are taking to prediction markets to bet on the outcome of the upcoming conclave. It's Tuesday, April 22nd. Let's ride.
Good morning and happy Earth Day, which takes place every April 22nd to raise awareness around environmental protection. To me, it's an opportunity to reflect on just how many things had to go right for us to be living here. The Earth happens to be located in a remote section of the Milky Way galaxy, which means fewer threats, like a huge star devouring us. As for the star nearby, the Sun,
We have a key magnetic field that deflects its deadly flares. We have a moon that stabilizes the climate, a bodyguard in Jupiter that redirects asteroids and comets from smashing into us, and an active plate tectonic system that produces volcanoes whose eruptions may have led to the first instances of life. And if all that doesn't make us the best planet around, we also have unlimited breadsticks.
Also, just for some more perspective on this Tuesday morning, if Earth's four and a half billion year history was squeezed into a 24 hour clock, humans, you, me, Neil, your neighbor, Paul, everyone you ever know or have known showed up at 11.59, 59 p.m. So remember, we're guests who just got here. So take your shoes off, compliment the decor, and let's try not to leave a mess.
And now a word from our sponsor, Planet O. Neil, have you ever noticed how the right lighting can make a room feel totally different?
Oh, big time. Flip on a warm lamp and suddenly your sad little studio apartment feels like a cozy reading nook.
