Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the Starbucks rebuild isn't going as planned. Should they trade for Giannis?
Then, honey, I shrunk the economy. U.S. GDP contracted in the first quarter of the year. It's Thursday, May 1st. Let's ride.
Good morning on the first day of May. And honestly, pound for pound, it might be the best month of the year. The Kentucky Derby is coming up on Saturday. Mother's Day is a couple Sundays from now. The NBA and NHL playoffs get really good. Then later in the month, Universal Epic Universe will become the first major park to open in Orlando in 26 years.
The French Open and PGA Championship take place for tennis and golf lovers.
I think you forgot the best part, though, Neil. You can say the Justin Timberlake line, It's gonna be May. That's my favorite part. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, I was in the morning brew kitchen yesterday, and I have to tell you, I had to throw some bows to get some Planet Oat.
You're telling me. I was looking in the fridge for the Planet Oat oat milk creamer to pour in my cup of joe, and I found it sitting empty in the counter. Yeesh, that might have been me. Toby.
Neil, listen, planted oat is just so good, flavor-packed and delicious. I finished off the brown sugar cookie oat milk creamer, and my iced coffee has never tasted so good.
