I'm going to go with, oh my God, it's the Ponzi scheme.

**Toby Howell** (0:31)
You better get it now because now the steel is.

**Ethan McCarthy** (0:34)
Well, that still doesn't help me. Please get it. I don't remember.

**Henrik Blix** (0:37)
Oh my God. I can't believe I'm forgetting this.
Hang on. Nobody steal.

**Toby Howell** (0:42)
Oh my gosh.

**Neal Freyman** (0:44)
Good Morning Brew Daily show. I'm Neal Freyman.

**Toby Howell** (0:47)
And I'm Toby Howell.

**Neal Freyman** (0:48)
Today, one more day until July 4th. How much do you know about the United States?

**Toby Howell** (0:53)
We'll test our co-workers and you in this special holiday trivia episode. It's Friday, July 3rd. Let's ride.

**Neal Freyman** (1:06)
Good morning on July 4th, Eve, when I hope you aren't working and are staying cool in this brutal heat. To ease you into the Independence holiday weekend, we've recorded another Morning Brew Daily game show. We asked three of our very funny friends from around the office to come on the podcast and answer a bunch of trivia questions. And today's trivia has a special theme, America at 250 years old.

**Toby Howell** (1:29)
Neal always says I give out way too many hints, but I say, I just like to see people succeed. And now a word from our sponsor, Ultra Running.

**Neal Freyman** (1:39)
Toby, how is your toe room?

**Toby Howell** (1:41)
Neal, you think I have money for a whole room dedicated to toes?

**Neal Freyman** (1:44)
Toby, I mean in your shoes, what would a toe room even look like?

**Toby Howell** (1:49)
We don't need to get into that. What's important here is that most running shoes are narrow at the toe, but Ultra has more room for your toes, so they can spread out and your feet can stay in a natural position. The Ultra Fit is designed to give you room for your toes for comfort, balance and strength.

**Neal Freyman** (2:05)
Ultra actually makes shoes shaped like feet. What a concept.

Joining us on the show today are three of the fiercest competitors we could find around the office. They'll play five rounds of trivia and the person with the most points at the end will win the grand prize of Toby. What is our prize?

**Toby Howell** (2:35)
So I did not clear this prize with Neal, but our prize is Neal will post a story of you on his Instagram saying, you're the smartest person he's ever met, even smarter than himself. So play hard, everybody.

**Neal Freyman** (2:47)
This is news to me. That is big. All of my five followers will be able to see that. So if you're not following me yet, this is a good opportunity to follow me for that picture. Let's quickly get to know our contestants who may or may not be take a picture with me later and be the smartest person I know. First up is Henrik Blix.
Wow.

**Henrik Blix** (3:06)
What's up?

**Neal Freyman** (3:07)
Nothing.
First up is Henrik Blix, senior branded video producer. Henrik, who is your celebrity lookalike?

**Henrik Blix** (3:17)
I've gotten Macaulay Culkin.

**Neal Freyman** (3:19)
Do you think that's accurate?

**Henrik Blix** (3:21)
I think it's fair, yeah. I don't love it, but I think it's fair.

**Toby Howell** (3:25)
Nothing like an audio product doing lookalikes as their introduction.

**Henrik Blix** (3:29)
If you're listening to this, just imagine somebody who looks like Macaulay Culkin all growed up.

**Toby Howell** (3:36)
Up next, it's Ethan McCarthy, social video producer. Ethan, who's your celebrity lookalike?

**Ethan McCarthy** (3:41)
Something I've been getting a lot recently is the white half of logic.

**Neal Freyman** (3:48)
I see that.

**Toby Howell** (3:49)
Unfortunately.

**Ethan McCarthy** (3:50)
I do see that.

**Toby Howell** (3:50)
Unfortunately, very accurate.

**Neal Freyman** (3:52)
Finally is our, hey, this is exciting, our very own Olivia Lake, associate producer on Morning Brew Daily. Olivia, I guess let's go through your three. Who is your celebrity lookalike?

**Olivia Lake** (4:04)
Recently, I guess with the World Cup happening, I've been getting, what's his name? I forget his name. Erling Haaland. Erling Haaland, Erling Haaland. I guess when I'm not wearing makeup.
