Good Morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Fryman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, if you want to learn a lot in a short amount of time, this is the podcast episode for you.

0:09.7

It's a special holiday show featuring the smooth-talking, fact-dropping Phil Andrews of Maxonomics. It's Monday, January 20th. Let's ride.

0:41.8

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday that has many of you home from work. It's also inauguration day where Donald Trump will be sworn in as the next president of the United States. And to cap it all off, the college football championship game is tonight between Ohio State and Notre Dame, a ton going on.

0:43.8

A ton going on.

0:45.6

That's a great way to describe this episode that we taped ahead of the holiday.

0:49.2

We talked to Phil Andrews, who is the man behind the Maxonomics brand for Morning Brew.

And if you want to know what you're doing, check out Yahoo Finance.

1:36.0

Toby and I have been reading Yahoo Finance literally for years now.

1:39.4

It helps us stay up to date so we can prepare for this show every day.

1:42.8

But it's also a great resource for

1:45.0

normal non-newspeople who just want to learn more about the market and keep a finger on the

pulse of what's going on. If you're interested in trying out Yahoo Finance for yourself,
