0:00.0 | Good morning Brew Daily Show, I'm Neil Freiman. |
0:03.4 | And I'm Toby Howell. |
0:04.4 | Today, Matthew Perry's death from Ketamine highlights the risks of a booming treatment |

0:10.1 | Then Uber is joining the S&P 500 Index. |
0:13.0 | We'll tell you what that means for you in just a bit. |
