31 Jan 2025
Episode 509: Neal and Toby discuss the tragic midair collision between an American Airlines passenger plane and a military helicopter, crashing into the Potomac River. After initial efforts from a rescue team, there’ve been no survivors found, making it the deadliest air disaster in the US since 2001. Then, a recent report shows the US economy is stronger than ever, a sharp contrast from across the pond where 20 European countries are stuck in a rut. Plus, Chili’s is the Stock of the Week, and UPS is the Dog of the Week. Meanwhile, the Blue Man Group’s legendary 34-year run in NYC is coming to an end.

Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, everything we know about the deadliest plane crash on U.S. soil in over two decades.
Then the U.S. and Europe's economies are heading in two completely different directions. It's Friday, January 31st. Let's ride.
It is January 31st, the final day of the first month of the year. And congratulations to everyone who successfully completed Dry January. I raise a glass of apple juice to you. Toby, you were doing Dry January. Should I be toasting to you as well?
Well, Neil, I did a slightly wet January, but I have a good excuse. I had a friend visit New York City last weekend. We went to a comedy show that, to put it lightly, was the worst comedy show I have ever seen. And I didn't want to leave, so I did the next best thing, which led to the unfortunate end of my dry January. So do not blame me. Blame a really deadbeat audience in a 6 p.m. start time.
So slightly wet January. Thank you, though. You can still toast me. Now a word from our sponsor, Yahoo Finance. Neil, I've been listening to The Odyssey while I've been working out recently, and I gotta say, it slaps.
I'm sure Homer appreciates your review, Toby.
Two themes have stood out to me. One, characters like Odysseus' wife Penelope take a very long-term view of things, holding out hope over years that Odysseus will return.
