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

On today's pod is Bitcoin finally living up to its promise of digital gold?

Then all the good vibes from Spotify rap are long gone as the company announced another round of layoffs yesterday.

It's Tuesday, December 5th. Let's ride.

Toby, we are hurtling toward the end of 2023 and Time released the finalist for

its person of the year. We're not once to miss an opportunity to turn this into

a betting game, so I've handicapped the possible winners and

you can give me your thoughts. So the finalists are Hollywood strikers she

jian ping Taylor Swift, Sam Altman, Trump prosecutors, Barbie, Vladimir Putin, King Charles the third, and

Jerome Powell.

So I've done my own little sports book here.

King Charles is the long shot at 75 to one. Then Trump

prosecutors Putin and Hollywood strikers at 55 to one. She Jing Ping at 30 to one.

Now we're getting to the contenders Jay Pow at 20 to 1. Now we're getting to the contenders,

J.Pow at 20 to 1, Barbie at 15 to 1,

and I've got a toss up between Taylor Swift and Sam Altman

as the favorites at 8 to 1.

First of all, that would be a heck of a dinner party,

the time pre-Pree of the year nominees.

I'm liking the value of Jerome Powell at 20 to 1.

That's the one that seems like the best value to me,

but it's very, very hard to kind of break it down
