All right, well, good morning, Epes.

Thank you everybody for joining me here today.

And most importantly, happy Friday.

Happy December and everybody up there.

Today is, of course, Friday, December 1st.

It is 9.35 a.m.

We're getting started here with the Daily Peel live stream.

Hope everybody's having a great week and is excited for an even better weekend. Markets are off to a typically boring start here this morning, just like the kind of advent all week. Nobody really knows what to do because there's not exactly a whole lot going on. We're still kind of like hangover from the beautiful weekend of consumer spending that we had a couple weeks ago. Now there should be some more solidified data coming out on that stuff to give us a bit of an

indication.

But we did get a much more kind of comprehensive, I would say spending report here today.

Or yesterday we got it.

We'll be talking about it today in the PCE report or the personal consumption and expenditures.

Basically, this is going to be the Fed's favorite inflation reading. Also gives us a little bit of data on consumer spending. But before we dive in here, of course, we are coming at you live from the DailyPio Global Headquarters. Like we said, markets are up relatively flat here today. Now, we didn't get a chance to go live yesterday. I'm sure most of you were just crying in your bedroom,

not seeing us on the live stream. I do apologize for that. It was a busy day over here at the day the field level headquarters. That should be the last day that we miss. This is going to become the regular time going forward. It's going to be right around 9-15 Eastern Times. So all your Californians better get ready to be up nice and early. maybe play it in the back rod while you're shaving in the shower,

doing whatever else where you do

before you go into work. But before we dive into the news of yesterday, we're going to have to go back

to the day prior's edition because one of the absolute most bold, funniest and absolutely

insane business decisions I've ever seen

occur on Thursday here so I do believe we have a video for it instead of me

just telling you about it so if we can go ahead and play that here now let me

see if I got to stop you hope don't advertise you don't want them to advertise? No.

What do you mean?
