Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, now's a good time to get back in touch with your friends in finance. They're about to be rolling in end-of-year bonuses.
Ben, Saudi Arabia's megacity in the desert, Neom, just lost its CEO and could be in trouble. It's Wednesday, November 13th. Let's ride.
I've got some really exciting news to share. It's a project a bunch of us have been working on for months. Morning Brew is releasing a book, a crossword puzzle book, in fact. As brew readers know, several days of the week, we publish a crossword at the end of our daily newsletter. and it's consistently among the most popular pieces of content anywhere across the company.
We've been blessed to have two crossword constructors, Jack and Mary, who make these fun, inventive puzzles you can't find anywhere else. So we decided to compile 101 of those crosswords, along with some never-before-seen ones, into a physical book. If you have a crossword lover in your family, I can't think of a better gift for the holidays. I'm gonna buy 10 myself for all the puzzlers in my life.
This book is awesome. One thing you didn't call out is that Neil, you are the editor of this book. And one fun feature is that you did every puzzle in the book. I can attest. I saw you scribbling away and recorded your time. So there is a little thing on each page that shows Neil's time.
So if you're competitive and you want to see if your crossword medal can stand up to Neil's crossword medal, try and beat them. If you are competitive and you want to get in on this and take on Neil, you can pre-order the book at shop.morningbrew.com. Again, the holidays are coming up. This is such an easy gift.
