Good morning Brue Daley Show.

I'm Neil Fryman.

And I'm Toby Howell.

Today, VPN use is soaring in the UK after a new age verification law went into effect.

It's Tuesday, July 29th. Let's ride. It only took until the last few days

service industry has officially hit the mainstream.

I won't lie, Neil, no idea this was even a drink.

When people were talking about it in the office yesterday, I legitimately thought

brewery, a bartender there called it a bastardized apparel spritz. And it is this sort of

insidery drink, but apparently it's delicious. And now it has a reputation as kind of a no-frills

cocktail that embodies this recession indicator
