There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hi and welcome to the short stuff.

I'm Josh.

Chuck's here too.

Jerry's hanging around out there just kind of loitering, smoking cigarettes,

with her leather jacket on being a bad kid.

And smoke.

This makes a stuff you should know.

Don't ruin the illusion, Chuck.

I know.

So this is about water towers and we need to shout out a very special person.

This is not only from our old House of Works website that we used to write for, but the

very founder, his name is Marshall Brain.

That's a real name.

That's his real name and he created House of Works so many years ago.

And technically is why we have a job doing what we do today.
