Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway after making a lot of people a lot of money.
Why is Warren Buffett retiring and who will succeed him?
Then Elon Musk's rocket base in South Texas has gotten so big, it's officially become its own city. It's Monday, May 5th. Let's ride.
Good morning and happy Cinco de Mayo. When you're out sipping a spicy margarita later, do not tell anyone it's Mexico's Independence Day. That's in September. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the defeat of French forces by the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 and is mostly celebrated now in the United States by people of Mexican descent honoring their heritage. Of course, beer companies have a lot to do with its popularity. In the 1980s, they began to leverage Cinco de Mayo in marketing campaigns, turning it into an unofficial national drinking holiday.
Yeah, now Mexico accounts for about 30% of all global beer exports and ships more than double the amount of beer as any other country. And of course, a lot of that beer ends up across the border. 97% end up in the United States. And Modelo is the top selling beer in America, not the top Mexican imported beer, the top beer in America where it's been since it surpassed Bud Light back in 2023. So and now a word from our sponsor, Plant It Out. Neil, you ever watch one of those cooking shows where they take a plain old dish and somehow turn it into something magnificent?
Don't I ever. I've seen them drizzle a balsamic reduction over a grilled cheese and boom, I could see myself at a fine dining establishment.
Well, that's what Planet Oat does for your morning coffee or your cereal or whatever you're sipping, slurping, or blending. It's not just oat milk. It's an upgrade to your life.
Rich, creamy, smooth. It brings Michelin star vibes to your entire morning.
And if you're looking for something without the sugar, the unsweetened version has zero grams, but still tastes like it's a cheat day.
Plus vitamins A and D, calcium. It almost is the balsamic drizzle of the oat milk world.
Would not recommend putting it on your grilled cheese, though. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Inside Omaha's CHI Health Center on Saturday, tens of thousands of Warren Buffett fans hung on his every word for hours of a Q&A until they heard the ones they had dreaded the most. He's stepping down. The 94-year-old Buffett stunned the business world when he closed out Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders meeting by revealing he would leave his CEO role by the end of the year tomorrow. It even came as a surprise to his hand-picked successor, Greg Abel, who wasn't told of the announcement beforehand. After Buffett's mic drop, the silent crowd erupted into a delirious minutes-long standing ovation. To say it was well-deserved is the understatement of the century. Buffett is the most famous investor in the world, having inspired millions across the globe with his philosophy of patience and seeking out value.
It was how he transformed a struggling textile company in 1965 into a $1.1 trillion conglomerate that spans 189 operating businesses such as Geico, Duracell, and Fruit of the Loom, and dozens of stock holdings including Coca-Cola and Apple. What happens next? Buffett said he'd, quote, still hang around and could conceivably be useful in a few cases.
