[SPEAKER_B] Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neal Freyman.

[SPEAKER_A] And I'm Toby Howell.

[SPEAKER_B] Today, the Supreme Court protects Fed independence. For now.

[SPEAKER_A] Then Nike miscalculated America's World Cup fever and it's running out of jerseys. It's Tuesday, June 30th. Let's ride. Good morning.

[SPEAKER_B] Well, you made it. Today is the last day of the first half of 2026. Time to hit the locker room, throw some ice on some of the problem areas, and make a game plan to start the third quarter with a bang. Toby, I honestly don't remember my New Year's resolutions, so that means I haven't failed to live up to them.

[SPEAKER_A] I mean, we often ask each other, was it a fast week or a slow week? Now I'm asking you, fast half or slow half, Neal?

[SPEAKER_B] I think it was a fast half of the year. I mean, it always is, but I forget who won the Super Bowl.

[SPEAKER_A] I would say it's lightning fast. It's the saying, the days are long, but the years are short. I am definitely starting to feel that. Looking forward to what the next half of the year brings.
