Many employees can't afford a hefty medical bill that pops up out of the blue. But it happens. And employees who are financially stressed are, understandably, more likely to be distracted at work, costing their employers greatly in lost productivity. Luckily, AFLAQ plans help with out-of-pocket expenses not covered by health insurance and can be offered at no direct cost to businesses. Learn more at aflac.com slash morningbredaily.

Woo. Yeah, I have no idea what will happen. I know. I'm scared. get a lot of shit wrong. Yeah, I don't really know a lot of stuff if I'm being honest. The point is to be entertaining. But feel free to like banter,

make jokes or like comment on questions, but... Just give you guys free content. I'm not looking at it like that, but... Good morning, Bird Daily show. I'm Neil Fryman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, an MBD game show. We'll quiz, comedians, and you in a President's Day trivia contest.

It's Monday, February 16, Let's ride. Happy President's Day. Hope you are enjoying the first three-day weekend of the year, if you have today off. Because of the federal holiday, today's episode is going to be a little different than usual. It's a game show. We asked three of our very funny friends from Around Morning Brew to come on the podcast and answer trivia questions. MBD's first game show that aired last Christmas was a big hit, so we decided to run it back.

This is the type of game show where you should play along. be that person muttering to yourself in a car or on the train, answering questions under your breath. You've listened to MBD. Let's see if you're smarter than a brew employee. Thinking caps on, lock in, and let's play some trivia after a quick word from our sponsor. Toby, are you trying to make gains this year?

Yes, I am going to bench 225 this year. I will make it happen. What do you bench now? There's no need to ask such hurtful and rude questions, Neil. Well, to help you on your road to 225, you could always try Flavs cities all in one pro, protein smoothies. They come in all sorts of flavors like peppermint shamrock, banana bread, brownie batter, and more. They have 25 grams of protein, only real ingredients, 10 grams of

Joining us on the show today are three of the fiercest competitors we could find around the office. They'll play four rounds of trivia, and the person with the most points at the end will win the grand prize of Toby, what is our prize? It's cake. I'm going to bake a cake and bring it to the office to present to the winner. I hope none of you have any dairy allergies. Also, you get to pick out the kind of cake if you win. All right, let's quickly get to know our contestants. First up is Molly Liebergall, a fantastic writer for the Morning Brew newsletter. Molly, what is the movie you have rewatched the most times?

Oh, God. Um, hotel for dogs. Hotel for dogs. Hotel for dogs. All right. Next is Meg Banowitz, who makes hilarious videos

for Morning Brew's social media. Meg, what song do you have completely memorized? Okay, you guys switched up the question. I was prepared to answer Molly. Um,

the happy birthday song. Seems like a cop out, but you have to remember the name, so I do like that. Finally, Dan Toomey, the star of the Good Work YouTube channel is here. Dan,

I once went to one of your comedy shows where you describe yourself as a porcelain doll come to life. What is your skincare routine? Well, first off, I want to say thank you for having me. I would not have done this competition had I known that was the prize we were working for. But my skincare routine, I got nothing. I just towel it. Gosh, dang it.

Just slap a towel on that thing, and I'm good to go. That's more than me and Toby, I think. Okay, let's move on to round one, which is news from 2026. If you get the question correct, you'll get one point. If you get the question wrong, the next player in line can steal your question by answering it correctly. If none of you got the question right, we'll call your parents to come pick you up. Okay, question one is to Molly. Molly, who did President Trump select to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve?

Wouldn't it be fun if it was Vivek? It would be fun. That is not correct. Dan, do you know? I believe that's a man by the name of Kevin Warsh. Kevin Worse, the Worshing machine, as we're calling them. I also just want to say thank you Neil and Toby for dressing up for this podcast.

You're welcome. It is mostly an audio product, so that's good commentary. Dan, we have a scoreboard. I forgot to mention that, so you do get a point. It is Kevin Warsh. You're up to a flying start. Kevin Warsh. Question two, not Kevin two, question two,

does this go to Dan? Okay, Dan, in a major speech at Davos, which world leader said the middle powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu. I'm going to toss that to a guy. We went to college together. He's a good friend of mine, so I hate to put him on blast here.

I think that's Mark Carney of Canada. Mark Carney is right. Dan's off to, again, a flying start. He texted me after the speech, and I gave him some pointers on it. Mark Carney is about 30 to 40 years older than Dan, so I don't understand the timeline there, but I'm glad that you're close friends. All right, question three to Meg. Name the two teams Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosenoff play for in heated rivalry.

You must get both teams. Oh, I know one is the metros. Metros is correct. Shane Hollander plays for the Montreal Metro's. And the other one's Boston. Raiders. Correct. You actually got there.

By the way, it is the TV adaptation we're talking about because it is different in the books. Meg. Which all of us have ever read. What's it in the books? I don't remember. I have not read the books, but they're slightly different. That was well done, Meg. I didn't think people would get that.

Yeah. All right. Question four. What band did Alex Honnold say he primarily listened to during his climb of Taipei 101? This is back to Molly, by the way. Metallica? Not Metallica. No.

Dan, you may steal. Can I get a hint? No. I have never heard of this band. Can you give a hint, Neil? No. I mean, we should have given a hit to Molly if you were going to give one. Correct?

This sounds like your fault, my mind. I feel like I'm improving the game. Toby may not have heard of this band, but others have. Toby, oh, no. Toby hasn't heard of many bands. Someone might use this word to describe you. Or me who are going to give. It's all right.

It's white men, the band. All right, Meg, I think this is going to you. I'll go ACDC, but I don't have a real guy. Wait, can I guess? Yes. Audio slave. No, that's what Mark Zuckerberg was listening to when coding Facebook. Damn it.

All right, the answer is tool. Oh, yes. So no one gets that, and we're all losers because of it. Okay, here, this question is for Dan. What airline did Elon Musk threaten to buy after he and the CEO started beefing? Toby, did you just call me a tool in the last question? But I called myself a tool, too, see? So, like, it's kind of like that comedy thing.

You don't punch up. You punch sideways. All right. All right, I'm sorry. We're having simply too much fun, Neil. What was the question? The question is, what airline did Elon Musk threaten to buy after he and the CEO started beefing? I believe that's Ryanair.

Correct. Dan, three points. I'm so proud of you. I feel like you're rooting for him. Well, I don't know. I like people to do well. Just a couple of tools punching sideways. That's us.

All right. Question six. This is to Meg. Name a best supporting actor nominee in the upcoming Academy Awards. I was, I'm not saying Jesse Plymonds but I was, I think he should have been nominated but I know it's not him. You are correct in all of that.

It is not him. So, okay, point for me. We're not going to choose that answer. No, that does that count. All right, three seconds. All right, we're going to go to Molly. It's okay, yeah. Fun police kneel.

Is there, is one of them an animal? Is one of them literally like a dog or cat? I don't believe so. Okay, maybe that was like a fake tweet. That was Shrek. I'm giving some hints out. what pictures have been nominated for best picture and then maybe go back from there? Thank you, Toby.

Folly, think of a movie. Start right there. I would start with a movie. Toby's just trying to punch sideways right now. You got to let the man punch sideways. It says right. All right, I think we got to move to Dan for the steel. No, not Mr. Wonderful.

I was just proud of you for saying a movie right there. Thank you. Dan. Neil, I'm going to name Benicio del Toro. That is correct. For one battle after another. Well done, Dan. Question seven, who are we on, Neil?

Yeah, we're back to Molly. All right. Question seven, Rome installed a two euro fee for tourists, hoping to get close to what attraction? The Coliseum? Correct. I'm doing so, correct? Not correct.

Sorry. It's a long game. It's a long game. I'm doing so bad. You did get a monument, so that's good. I don't be. I know. Sorry.

I'm punching sideways. You're punching down. I'm punching down, sorry. Dan, our leader with four points, it is on to you. It's either the fountain that I can't name. I don't know the name of the fountain. I'm pretty sure it's the fountain. But I'll say, are the Spanish steps there?

Is it the Spanish steps? Which one are you going on? Spanish steps. The fountain that can't be named or the Spanish steps, which may or may not be in Rome. Well, I don't know the name of the, would you count the name of the fountain if I said that? We'll count it if you just say fountain.

But are you saying fountain or steps? Are you kidding me? You're going to count it? We're absolutely not going to count that, by the way. You cannot say fountain. That's like saying rope or building. So Fountain does not count. I just overruled that.

Sorry. Okay. Spanish steps. Okay, perfect. Wrong. Okay. Guys, I feel like we've... Meg knows.

I think Meg knows. Can I go? It's my turn. It's your turn. Call me Lizzie McGuire because I'm at the Trevi Fountain. Trevi Fountain. There we go. Correct.

I don't think, I mean, Jeopardy rules. They would never accept the Fountain. Fair, that's fair. Yeah, we are totally Jeopardy rules here. Neil, Neil, what is Fountain? As the only person who's actually been on Jeopardy in this recording. All right. Brag.

Moving on. Question number eight. This one is to, Dan. A social media trend encourage people to post memories from 2016. So here's a question about that year. In a speech, then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton mentioned what mobile game, that generated a frenzy that summer. First off, I was not alive in this year, so this is unfair.

Second off, I believe she told us all to Pokemon go to the polls. Correct. Well done, Dan. Pokemon Go to the fountain. Dan, killing it. I'm proud of you. All right. Last question in this category to Meg.

In which Super Bowl ad, did Guy Fierry contrast being just a guy versus being Guy Fieri, we're looking for the brand. All those words are new to me. Also, what is this category called? This is news. This is just stuff that's happened of late. Do you remember seeing Guy Fieri? I actually don't remember seeing that,

and I did watch the Super Bowl. Bragg. Can I say, thank you. I'm going to just say hymns. That would actually, that's a pretty good guess because his name is Guy. That is incorrect, unfortunately. And Molly, I will give you a hint if you want.

Can you give me a hint and can you also repeat the question one more time? The question is, in which Super Bowl ad did Guy Fieri contrast being just a guy versus being Guy Fieri? We're looking for the brand. Okay. So the brand was obviously trying to be like relatable, just a guy. But it's also Guy Fiery. And I'm guessing it's not food because that would be too on the nose.

I'm going to say like rocket mortgage. It's a good guess. Good guess. not correct unfortunately Dan gets the opportunity to see Toby I believe that was Palantir Technologies it is not Palantir Technologies

thank you for giving the government name though it's Bosch Bosch what do they do I don't think of them they make like dishwashers apparently really badass dishwashers all right after the first round we have Molly

in third with zero points Dan in first with five points and Meg in second Why did I go first to third? But second is Meg. Favorite to least favorite? With two points. So I think things can only go up from here.

This is round two we're on to now. Is this harder or is it just like they're separated? It's punching sideways. It's at the same level of difficulty, but in a different category. Yes, this category is the Winter Olympics, which entered their second full week in northern Italy today. I hope you brushed up on your curling knowledge, then brushed again and again, furiously brushing until your knowledge settles nicely into the button.

A little curling joke for you guys. Some rules before, same rules as before. If you answer correctly, you'll get one point. If you get the question wrong, the next player in line can steal your question. Who's up, Neil? Let's start with Molly again. All right, we're back to Molly.

Question one. This country made its debut at the Winter Olympics in 1988, later inspiring a movie. Hmm Russia Hockey Russia Not Russia

Nope Dan do you know I believe that was Jamaica in the movie Cool Runnings Dan I knew it Toby's so proud of you

I get so happy when people get the questions Right okay Okay this one is again to Dan Because he got the steal What is the fastest of all winter Olympic sports Where competitors can hit

Top Speeds of over 90 miles per hour Believe that is curling kidding kidding I'm joking we don't allow that I'm gonna give this to skeleton not skeleton not skeleton Meg do you know is it the luge it is the luge it is the luge it is the luge skeleton is face first and slightly slower

because of just aerodynamic principles luge is faster feet first okay and it seems very uncomfortable honestly Jerry Seinfeld is a great joke about it where he goes, it's like Bob Sled, but there's no sled. It's just Bob. Great joke, Jerry. Question number three, who are we on to?

Meg. Meg. Where did the 1980 miracle on ice in which the American men's hockey team defeated the Soviets take place? I feel like I should know this, which is the tough part. It's kind of a niche city and niche fact to know. All right, Meg's out. Molly, any idea?

Pittsburgh. Kind of directionally right? I don't know. Dan? Am I allowed to Google? That is a great question, no. Is it Park City, Utah? It is not Park City.

Can we just keep naming cities? That has hosted an Olympics. The answer is Lake Placid, New York. Oh, well, who lives there? Very few people. I'm kidding. I love Lake Placid is gorgeous. Should we give a point tomorrow? She got closest with Pittsburgh?

Please. Which as he has never helped. Pittsburgh is not a winner a little game master. He was actively trying to change the rules. Well, Neil did try to give Fountain out. I didn't think that was. I think Fountain was much closer to the right answer than Pittsburgh is to Lake Placin. I'm just trying to think everyone listening to that would probably.

I just want to write something in Molly's column. This is for you. He holds the record for the most Winter Olympic medals won by an American accomplished across three games between 2002. and 2010. Sean White? Not Sean White. I'm sorry.

You sounded so confident. I really thought I had that one. Yeah. Dan? It's a man. It's a man. Is this Apollo Ono? Yes.

I don't know why I giggle every time Dan gets one, but good job, Dan. I was between Sean White and Apollo Ona. Well, because let it be known, can we say this? Going into this, no one had any confidence in Dan and everyone, I was hearing that people had confidence in me, which I think is really, that. That's where I'm asking up. That was a little misplaced. It's a long game, Molly.

Can I give Molly a half a point for saying Sean White, which eliminated that guess for Dan? Would you have said John White? I actually, I'm all, I actually would have, I was going to go with Apollo. Oh, no, I'm not going to lie. So that's like three points. I actually have full confidence.

Molly can come back later this game. There's a lot more to go. I like it. All right. Question six, this is for Dan? Yeah. No, it's question five. Question five also for Dan.

Which North American? City hosted the Winter Olympics in 2010. In 2010, North American City, I believe that was Vancouver. God, damn is killing it. That is correct. So good at it. It's very good. And he has, do you notice the cadence? He goes, I do

believe. He commits to his process. He is a font of knowledge. I'm plugged in currently. Question six to Meg. Which European country has won more Winter Olympics Medals than any other, and it's not particularly close? It's not particularly close to Russia.

It's not Russia I just I'm going quick now okay Molly my head going let's go Norway yes let's go let's go the comeback has started thank goodness finally question seven

there are only three bobsled tracks in the entirety of North America name one of those places whose question is this Molly again yeah I have to name the name of the bob sled track well just the city that it's in name one of them one of them and Molly I would say use

the test to take the test. What does that mean? Use the test to take the test. Molly, just use the test to take the test. Use the question being asked of me. Maybe even a previous question. Lake Placid. Yes.

Let's go. Let's go. She's coming on like Anton. Back on the board. Wait, what's Meg at? Meg's at three. You're at two, so you're sniffing. You know how like your dad pushes you to be better

and your mom just wants to see you do well? Exactly. And Toby right now. The other two, Bob sled tracks, because I know you're curious is Park City and the final one is up in Canada at Whistler. Thank you, new. Question 8.

Dan, biathlon is an event that combines which two sports. Skiing and shooting. Yes, Dan. The perfect race. Did you like that, Cadence? That was, yeah, he nailed that one. Okay, Meg, final question of this category. The movie I-Tanya follows the career

of Tanya Harding and her connection to the 1994 assault of which rival figure skater. Guys, come on. You, it's like you, I'm thinking, oh, I know Tanya Harding. I'm familiar with her. And then I have to name another woman. They're often spoken about in the same.

I know. And would you believe I don't know her name? I'm going to say Sarah. Jessica. Jessica. Parker. Parker. Incorrect.

Sorry. Molly? I know. I can't remember her name, but I do. No, I can't. I can't remember her name, but I know she says that thing where she's like, why me? But I don't know her name. Correct.

So that should count for something. It counts for nothing. I'm not being the fun dad anymore. Dan, anything? I believe it was Apollo-owned. Incorrect. The answer is Nancy Kerrigan. Nancy Kerrigan.

That's my second name. Okay. That's the end of the second round. Toby, what's the scoreboard looking like? The scoreboard is looking. I want you to jump around. go in order. All right. Well, it's tough to jump around. In second, is Meg with three. Meg did not make up much ground there. In third is Molly with two. And then Dan has nine. He's like Norway out

there. He is like Norway. I want to say Dan is from the most wintry place. I am from a wintry place. It's unfair that I had to go through Winter Olympics when I'm when I'm from the south. So you're from Texas. Dan is from Massachusetts. Yep. Well, Doc, Dan is from. I'm from, I'm from Connecticut. Connecticut. Somewhere in Connecticut. We'll dock to 10 six points. I like that.

February is the season of yearning, so let's see how down bad you guys are with this next category, which is love odes. So listen closely. We'll give you a sweet nothing, someone said in a song, a poem, a DM, a letter, etc.

And you have to tell us who said it and then who they said it to. For instance, if I said, But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? That would be Romeo. That would be Drake to Kendrick. That would be Romeo to Juliet. So same rules as before.

You get one point for the speaker and one point for the love interest they're talking to. A lot of points on the table. A lot of points on it. I believe that one was Neil to Toby. Frog to Toad. All right, question one. Tomali.

Tomali. Seems like me. Oh, whoops. I already messed that up. Seems to me that you and me We make our own luck New heights of manhood I ain't got a knock on wood

Who is that Who said that and who they say it too? Is this normally in a song? Correct Can you sing it? No Are you sure? A lot of these will be songs

And we will not be singing them Okay seems to me Adam Lambert, I don't know That is incorrect Dan I believe that was MGK to Marjorie Taylor Green. Incorrect. Good guess.

Not really. Okay, I have two thoughts. I'm going to go with Sabrina Carpenter. Nope, that is incorrect. Toby. So there's a few, there's a few context clues here. One of them is New Heights. Yeah, that was my second guess.

I'll give it to Meg. Come on. We didn't give a hint. We didn't give a hint. Why is New Heights Taylor Swift? Her, Travis Kelsey did a podcast called New Heights. I'm giving you one point for that.

She name dropped his podcast. It's Taylor Swift on her most recent album. It's a song called Wood. Yeah, I'm glad we're focusing on this because we shouldn't really focus on the other lyrics. What's going through this woman? New Heights of Manhood. No idea. All right.

Question two, Neil. To Dan, you're my downfall. You're my muse. My worst distraction. My rhythm and blutes. I've never heard those words before, Nail. You almost certainly have. You haven't been loved.

You're my downfall. Somebody says out on a first date. You're my downfall. You're my muse. What was the rest of it? My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues. Is that not also Taylor Swift? It is not Meg for the steel.

Is this Katie Perry? No, it is not Katie Perry. Molly? I can, I can, like, hear the song in my head. I know. I thought. Rihanna Grande. It is not.

It is All of Me by John Legends. Oh. To Chrissy Teigen. I was thinking Katie Barry E.T. And I was just singing it

in the E.T. Rhythm. Imagine if you're my downfall, you're my muse, my worst distraction. My rhythm and blues wasn't E.T. It'd be perfect.

All right. Question at three. This is to Meg. It's a song called E. Yeah. Home in three days. Don't wash. Wait.

This was most. certain he Neil to Toby yeah oh my gosh I actually can like I I'm no kind of an internet culture meme yeah and it's I know it's a TV showroom movie incorrect no no words it's an old guy it's a really really old guy and I can't remember who um uh we're on to Bali I can't think of a single old English guy's name but I know he's actually not English he is French same thing um and he's He's dead. I'm going to pass it on to Dan. This is an old dead French man?

Yes. I will, is this Jewish? Historically. Historically dead. No, important, significant. A historically significant, important dead French man. Yes. This is not, is this Serge Gainsbourg?

No. He's dead and French. It is Napoleon to his wife, Josephine. Oh, I thought we were doing songs. No. These are, these are. In the instructions, Toby said, song, DM, or letter.

Yeah, et cetera. This was a DM. This was a DM. Okay, question four to Molly. How many points have been scored this round? I gave Meg one point. I can't remember why, but she did all right. Oh, she said Taylor Swift as her second guest.

Okay, Molly. And lastly, I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Timothy Schell and I? Two. Kylie Jenner.

Hey, there was no. That's a two-pointer right there. That's two points. That is two points. Fuck go, Molly. Am I, am I ahead of Meg now? You're tied with Meg because I gave Meg kind of a, you know. Oh yeah, because you gave her that gimmee for nothing. I gave her a gimmie. Was that also a DM? No, that was during the club. No, critics, critics choice. Oh, critics choice. Yeah. Question five to Dan. You know the world can see us in a way that's different than who we are. I'm going to say This is Ariana Grande

To SpongeBob The man who plays SpongeBob Incorrect I like that Meg This is either Troy to Gabriela Or Gabriela to Troy From high school musical

Troy to Gabriela You know the world can see I thought we weren't gonna sing Oh sorry sorry Something about high school You were in high school musical Let him say

I was in high school musical I played Ryan Not Troy Is that who's with Sharpay That's the brother. That's her brother. That's her brother. Did you wear the hat? Did you wear the little hat?

He always wears? Yes, I did. I had a full repertoire of golf hat. Question six, this one's to Meg. It is truly unreal how effing hot you are, like it blows my mind. This is Adam Levine of Maroon 5 to woman in her Instagram DMs.

I'll allow it, yes. You should not know the model name. It's Summerstrow, if anyone was curious. But yes, this is Adam Levine's cheating scandal. There was a bevy of DMs to choose from. But Meg, another two points, and you are flying right now. How close am I to Dan?

We'll get to that at the end of the round. I don't want to spoil it forever. When I said Adam Lambert earlier, I meant Adam Levine. We know. We know where you're headed. Because I knew this was coming. Okay, question seven, this is back to Molly. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody,

you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. Harry to Sally. Yes. Oh, a two-pointer. Another two-pointer. Do you say you haven't seen that? Wow. Okay, Dan, question number eight.

I don't like these. Just wait. Just wait. Okay, this one's for you. I am 100% a cannibal. Oh, unfortunately. This is a bad one to only know this one, but I believe that was Army Hammer. That's a DM to another woman.

To you, right? In his phone. The Army Hammered to me last week. Right. That is correct. We, again, will not hold you accountable for knowing the, actual person, but that was to an accuser who goes by Effie. Dan, we'll give you two points for that.

Thank you. You did know that one. It would have been bad if I was like, Army Hammer to Effie. Question nine. To Meg, this is our year. We can never forget this, Tiger. Oh, this is Elizabeth Holmes to, I'm forgetting his last name. Is it Sunny Balwantri?

It is. No, I said that wrong. It's Balwani. We will give it to Elizabeth Holmes to Sunny Balwani. Elizabeth Holmes being the founder of Theranos. Meg, what a category for you. Yep. I will give the scores now because that is the end of

the love odes category. In third place, we still have Molly with six now, though. I remember the days when you had. I'm consistent. In second place is Meg with 10 double digits. And in first place is Dan with 11. Thank God you knew the panel.

6, 10, 11, this is a final category that we're about to head to, and it's going to be worth six points. This last round is called Survivor, but instead of starving you on a remote island, we're going to ask you about American presidents, because it is

President's Day after all. Here's how it's going to work. We want each of you to name a president until you can't anymore. We'll go down the line. You name a president, you stay in. If you can't name one, you are eliminated. And the winner of this round is going to get six points. Molly, let's start again with you.

The goal is to just name a president. Obama. Okay. Good start. Is it my turn? Yep. Donald Trump. Okay.

Joe Biden. Yep. Taft. Oh, no. We went all the way to Taft. We have a list. Sorry, I'm just keeping track. We're jumping around.

Yeah. Dan. George W. Bush. Okay. George. Is it George H.W. Bush or just George Bush? Don't look at me for the answer. H.W.

H.W. H. Eisenhower. Okay. Bill Clinton. Polk. Polk. We're going back to 1845 to 1849.

Molly? Nixon. Ronald Reagan. JFK. JFK. Washington. George? Yes.

Okay. Tricky Dick Richard Nixon. I said Nixon. Whoa. Is that elimination? No, no. I said Nixon right before you said Reagan. Oh, okay.

Wait, but I can keep going. Yeah. That was fine. Don't do it again. Look at how many more seconds he now has to think of one. From now on, if you do repeat, you are out. Wow. Well, so pay attention.

Okay. You guys are playing favorites. It's okay. That's okay. I know. We should eliminate him, honestly. But he did really want to say tricky dick. And it got laughs.

Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter, R.I.P. Abraham Lincoln. Wouldn't expect Polk to come before Lincoln, but I'm glad we got through in the end. Truman. Franklin Pierce Franklin That's why you keep in the back pocket

Sorry, I'm getting I'm getting nervous on my president Knowledge if I'm being honest Adams John Adams Okay Whoa Neil I know

We just gave that to her Roosevelt I mean again we should probably Which one? Yeah FDR Okay Has somebody said Calvin Coolidge.

No one has said Calvin Coolidge. Calvin Coolidge who owned a bunch of weird animals. What? Like what? He had like a hippo. Cool. Dan's going Pierce Coolidge. It's crazy. Meg.

Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson is correct. He was the seventh one. You know, I wish I could remember. I was trying to go in order. I know. I don't know the order. So you know what you're at a time. I think I'm out.

Really? Five, four, three. The other Roosevelt. Oh, yes, we got it. The other Roosevelt. Just in the nick of time. Does she have to name it? No, if we're going Jeffrey rules.

repeating Nixon, I stay in for that. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. He's the one in Night of the Museum, right? Daniel Toomey. Correct. William Henry Harrison. What shortest serving president in our nation's history? RIP to the goat.

James Madison. Molly? Molly's still in. And on that note, and with that, I'm out. The third Roosevelt. No way. All right, Molly is out. It's just down to Dan and Meg.

Jefferson. Jefferson. Whoa, actually crazy. Thomas Jefferson. TJ. Okay, I'm afraid this one has been said, but I didn't hear it, so I'll say it. And if I'm out, that's okay. Grover Cleveland.

Grover. Has not been said. Oh, no way. Two terms. I was really hoping. Oh, no. Yeah, he's the double. gosh. I like watching this imagining that you guys are like drafting fantasy. Wait, is this

where I lose? This is bad. Oh no. Oh God. Did we say Eisenhower? Yes. Eisenhower has been said. Does Meg have to say one for the full points? Yeah, that's the issue. If not, we'll give you a half point. Oh, I know. Can I say it? Yes. Roblo Reagan. Already said. Already said it. Oh. So what happens now? They both get three? I think we should have them split. Because it was the same, you know, in the same round. Okay. So three points. If they had just been swapped, then Meg would have gone out

first before Dan and would have been the same time. True. So you will split three points. Wait, who, name some people that we were missing. Yeah, so you're missing the two most recent ones that you're missing is Ford and Johnson. Oh my God. Oh, yeah. And then maybe some other. Go from, just go from the beginning. Yeah, maybe some ones. I would say maybe you got

like half. It's huge actually. LBJ. One that you also. God, Ulysses Grant. This is embarrassing. We're just going to rip through him. Monroe, Quincy Adams, Van Buren, Tyler, Taylor, Philmore, Buchanan,

Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Garfield, Chester Arthur. Yeah, there was a Netflix show about him. Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, and Herbert. This is actually bad. I should know.

I should know. Can I tell you? I feel good about myself. I feel pretty good about you, too. Yeah, you guys did pretty good. Yeah, you did really well. You got about half of all the presidents. All right, Toby, what is the final score here? The final score is Molly, unfortunately, with six. Meg with 13 and Dan with 14.

So Dan built an early lead and held on for dear life. He really did. Really, yeah, at the end. So, Dan, what kind of cake are you thinking? Whoa, don't call the cake. You mean to tell me I'm rewarded with Toby cake? Toby cake. You're going to get some Toby.

You look so happy. Man, whatever. Toby, are you good at baking? Yeah, Toby, how often you wash in those hands? Yeah. I'm good at baking. Toby's easily not washing the hand. My oven in my apartment, slightly underpowered, so you might get something a little raw.

Will the... No problem. You know what I'll do? I'll take a cookie cake. Give me a good Toby cookie cake. All right. So you just have to make a big cook. I have a skillet.

Okay. Yeah, perfect. Yeah. But we're not done yet. Yeah, we're not done yet, actually. We're going to move on to a listener's choice portion of our show, which will be a draft. What are we drafting apps? Like apps on your phone.

So your task is to build the best home screen possible. This will be a snake draft, which means our leader, Dan will go first. Second place, Meg makes her pick. Then third, Molly. And once we get to Molly, she goes again before it snakes back in the opposite direction. and if you guys have any questions, we'll kind of usher you through it. You guys know how they work.

You're drafting a team of four, and this is where all the listeners get to play. We want you to weigh in on whose home screen is the best. YouTube comments, Spotify comments, send an email to Morningbrewdaily at Morningbrew.com. You will be the arbitrator of the apps and will announce who accrued the most votes on our most votes on our Instagram voins.

And then the final wrinkle to this app draft, Neil and I are playing as well. We will take up the last two spots in the draft. So, Neil, you can get fourth and I'll go out the turn. So without further ado, Dan, you are pick number one, who are you taken at number one overall? My first app I'm going to take. Are these things that are already on our phone? It just can be any app.

Okay. The first app I'm going to take is eye gun. That's your number one overall pick? Which is an app. I don't know if you're familiar with it, but it's an app where you can put a gun sound on your phone. and that's number one generational talent that will be my number one I'm loading it right now the LeBron James oh gosh um you can do it all right while you're doing that yeah Meg you are on the clock perfect um I'm gonna go ahead and grab the settings app okay what do you like most about the

settings app I mean everything's in there my name's in there and if I forget that I can go and like switch my screen up. I can see what apps are tracking my location currently and sending that information to the government. It's kind of the app of all apps. Interesting. It is the perfect app. This is an interesting draft class so far.

Molly. In the first round, eye gun and settings. Yeah. Molly? Please take us to something else. I'm going to take one that's almost a combination of the two. Find my friends. That could be number one overall. How many people do you have on Find My Friends? Let's see.

And call out their locations for us, please. I'll say their names and their locations. Yeah, I have, I'm going to just, I'm going to say two dozen, maybe. That's a good. That's a healthy map. A lot of these are years, years and years old. Okay.

My turn, my turn. With the first pick, or with the fourth pick in the app draft, I'm looking down my big board, Google Maps. Google Maps, all right, easy. I mean, just, fine. I'm not taking Apple Maps, but Google Maps. Google Maps. Got to get around.

All right, I'm starting out fast. the turn. I'm going Strava with number, my number one pick, and then calculator. Big numbers guy. When was the last time you used the calculator? Dork. Literally every single day. I'm always doing it. You know, you don't want to know. I run a business. I run a business. Okay. All right. We are back to me. Everything I want is still available. I'm going New York Times games. New York Times games. I do the crossword every day. We have a games department at Morning Bruce. That's a little crazy to take a competitive. editor, Molly, on to you?

I'm going to go Notes app. Notes? Wow. That's the best app. Meg, with settings so far leading the line. I'm going to go the weather app. Oh, that is a good pick.

You go and just chalk up with Apple products. Yeah. Dan, you had a problematic first round pick. I can't wait to hear your second round. Oh, my gun app isn't making sounds. Garage band. He had that waiting to go since last time.

And you get two picks since we're snaking. Are you playing garage band now? I got it. And the flashlight also goes off when you do it. Garage band and health. Health. I like health. Good for tracking.

Because when you open health, the first thing it has for you is a mental health questionnaire. That might just be my phone. but it has a mental health questionnaire. We're checking in one more time. Yeah. All right. We are on to Meg. I am going to go with the camera app.

Oh, wow. I'm getting the essentials now. You are really, the basic building blocks of life. What's the weather? How can I fix this? What's my name? And can I take a picture. Molly.

Factory mode. Yeah. Do I get two? You only get one. Okay. I'm going to go, I'm going to throw it back, Jetpack Joyride. Ooh, that's a good one. That really is good.

That's good. Neil? Mine are so boring compared to these. Well, not, not mex. Sorry, it's the Central's. Uber? Uber. Got to get around.

Neil is just playing games. You got to get around. Okay. I know I'm maybe taking this a little too seriously, but if we're being real. You got Uber, Google Maps, and New York Times games is something people play. Use a lot. All right. My last two, I'm going the Domino's app,

which was a pioneer in its space because of its pizza tracker. And then finally, I'm going with the App Store, which I feel like kind of wins. That's like asking a genie for every single way. And you know what? The genie would win this game. So I'm taking App Store. I don't think you will be rewarded by the list.

That's exclusive of all apps. Calvaculator answer, Toby. Strava calculator Domino's App Store. Neil, your last pick. Spotify? Neal's a corporate shill. He's the only one who did big corporations. Neil's only mentioning brand partners.

I've been sponsored by any of these. I just went with the ones that I use the most. Molly, your picks have had such whimsy. Let's finish it out. Thank you. Let's go with chess.com. Oh, that was on my big board. I love that pick.

I love that pick. Wimcical. Thank you. Meg. generic Meg. No, no, no, no, no. This one's the fun one. Can I get the Jeremy Renner app?

What is the Jeremy Renner app? It's an app where you can talk and discuss your favorite actor, Jeremy Renner. That is a real thing, by the way. Yeah, I actually remember that. The Jeremy Renner app. Dan, started at Eyegun. The last pick was Health, so give me something in the middle, maybe? Yeah, actually, this is an app that I do enjoy quite a bit.

It's called Radio, with, like, six o's. It's an app where it's called the musical time machine and you can go around to different countries and pick a decade and it will play a popular song from that decade from that country.

So like for Brazil, for example. Dan, we can't play. We're going to get yanked off the music. Music or gunshots for that matter. All right, Neil, you want to read out everyone's team? Yeah, I don't, I actually stop taking it. Okay.

I have. I haven't. All right, Dan with the first overall pick. His team is eye gun, garage, band, health, and radio with 5-0s. Meg is Settings, Weather, Camera, and Jeremy Renner app. Molly has Find My Friends, the Notes app, Jetpack Joyride, and Chess.com. Neil with Google Maps, New York Times games, Uber, and Spotify, and Toby with Strava, Calculator, Domino's, and the entire app store. So everyone, please weigh in on who you think won. We'll put these up on Instagram.

We'll put them up on Instagram. What does the winner get? More cake? More cake, actually. More to be cake. God, I can't believe you said cookie cake. I wanted to make some, like, a red velvet or something to challenge me, but cookie cake will do. All right, that is all the time we have.

We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Please remember to vote in YouTube, Spotify, comments on Instagram or via our email Meg, Dan and Molly. Thank you so much for playing. Of course. Thanks for having us. Thank you, boys. See ya.
