[SPEAKER_B] Good Morning Brew Daily Show.

[SPEAKER_C] I'm Raymond Lu.

[SPEAKER_D] And I'm Kaila Lopez.

[SPEAKER_B] Today, Meta wants to sell its AI agent to businesses, but will anybody buy?

[SPEAKER_D] Then, a fiery firing at 60 Minutes ripples across the media industry. It's Thursday, June 4th.

[SPEAKER_E] Let's ride.

[SPEAKER_B] Good morning, everybody. As you can tell, Neal and Toby aren't here today.

[SPEAKER_C] They are having fun fun at Toby's bachelor party.

[SPEAKER_B] But today I'm super excited to have Kaila guest hosting on the pod. You may know her from co-hosting alongside Kyle Hagge from Per My Last Email. Kaila, how does it feel waking up super early to talk?

[SPEAKER_D] That's part of why a whopping total of 6 million businesses use Sage globally across 150+ countries.

[SPEAKER_D] Things just keep getting worse for CBS after firing 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, and their damage control is, well, not doing much. Here's where we are. Yesterday, the day after 37-year CBS veteran Scott Pelley was fired, editor-in-chief of CBS News Barry Weiss addressed staff, saying the firing came down to a breakdown of, quote, trust and mutual respect, and that leadership had tried to find a way back with Pelley before parting ways. But Pelley fired back almost immediately in a statement refuting the network's and Weiss's version of events. He said the word firing came up in the first 15 seconds of the meeting, that executives were openly hosti...
