Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freeman and I'm Toby Howell.

On today's pod, Hollywood is at a standstill now that the actors are joining the writers

on strike and will take you aboard the icon of the seas, the largest cruise ship in

the world.

Then we'll dig into the inflation report that dropped yesterday to find out if we can

afford eggs again before tossing a quick 15 minutes on the calendar to check in and

circle back on how Shopify's effort to end pointless meetings forever is going.

Neil, it's Thursday, July 13th. Let's ride.

Neil, there have been many of Neil and not Toby shows so far this year, but tomorrow

you're leaving me for the first time in MBD history.

Yes, I'm going to Portland for the weekend for a bachelor party for my dear friend and

I cannot. Portland Maine.

I forgot that there's two.

Portland Maine, the OG Portland. So I'm going to be missing the show. I'm super excited

to hear you and not Toby. I don't know if he's going to switch his name to not Neil.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that.

It's just going to be not Toby, but you lived in Portland Maine for a year, which is

kind of random.

It is random. My review of the city is it's almost exactly what you'd expect.

It has fantastic lobster rolls, a very underrated dining scene.

It's pretty much just like a hidden gem that it's in a city on the, on the come up.

So that's what I tell people. Like is it an absolutely delightful place? Beautiful in

...
