Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, McDonald's is bringing back the snack wrap, but this time around, it's got some competition.
Then Dollar General is not just surviving, but thriving in the face of economic uncertainty. It's Wednesday, June 4th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
What a time was had at MBD Trivia last night here in New York City. Thanks to the more than 100 of you who came and played along. I feel like so many memories and friendships were made just in the span of two hours. There was this guy who drove in from Fairfield, Connecticut just to hang. The father-daughter duo who was visiting all the way from Arizona.
And the time everyone loudly booed Toby for one of his Toby's Trends questions. Just super cool to see the community you've created around this podcast.
I think you're confusing those boos with the abject despair, your diabolical Neil's numbers category instilled in everyone. But yes, we certainly want to do more trivia going forward and appreciate everyone who came out. Maybe some virtual Zoom trivias in our future too, so all you outside the city can show us how smart you are. And also, maybe boo my questions.
And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads.
Neil, you ever order food at a restaurant and get the completely wrong description? I once asked for some medium pad thai and ended up getting it super hot with peppers all over. Man, I was sweating.
