Good morning, BrewDaily Show. I'm Neil Freiman and I'm Toby Howell. On

today's Pod Birkenstock waited almost 250 years to go public and judging by

its first trading day, maybe it should have waited a little bit longer. Then the

M&A market is finally coming back to life after the biggest oil deal in 20

Neil, yesterday we asked you all to tag us on social media and show us where

you listen to the pod for a chance to win a morning BrewDaily mug. And boy, did

you all come through. We got literally hundreds of responses across Instagram and

Twitter. One person even emailed us a picture because she's off social media

so shout out to them. MBD listeners do not mess around. No, the thing that stood

out to me from seeing all these pictures roll in is that we have so many

listeners with dogs or at least so many listeners with dogs of people who

like to take pictures of their dogs. Almost half the shots we were tagged in had

little pups. Also just a quick shout out to our international listeners too. We

had responses from Spain, China, Japan, South Africa, and more. So thank you to

everyone who snapped a pick for us and gave us a tag. We will be picking the mug

winners on Friday's show. So if you haven't had time to enter yet, send us a

picture of where you listen to the show then tag us at MBDaily Show on both

Twitter and Instagram. That's at MBDaily Show. Before we jump into the news, a

quick shout out to our sponsor Yahoo Finance for making this show possible. Yeah,

Yahoo is really the most trusted place to get financial information on the

internet today. The best part is you can snag real-time updates on both desktop
