Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You still there? You there? You there? I I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. Let's do it fast. Live from a very happy humidity. Happy humidity. Is that it's an all-new, terrific Tuesday edition of Business Pants joined by analyst hole, Matt Muscarty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On today's Revolution of Smiles called July 14th, 2026, the very special speed round with categories good game. I hate those two words. Wha w what does that mean? You'll find out. This is this is what happened? I didn't like that. Scared me. I'll get to our sponsor. Our show today is being sponsored by FreeFloat Analytics and FreeFloat Analytics.com, the only platform measuring board power connections and performance for free. Now I heard that you're you might be using the new beta platform in a presentation tomorrow. If it works. it just it just faded out. It's what Ew I've been talking about this. There are these scenario models on there that are they're expanded. There's like two thousand scenarios. Yeah, there's like two thousand like well, I should say there are there are a couple hundred scenarios in which there are like two thousand six hundred data points to determine w how the scenarios are gonna it's nuts. I don't know who's doing this, but they have a lot of time on their hands. Wait, seriously? Wow. Is that true? Do they have a lot of time on their hands? No. Alright. do I just get jump into the game? No. No, it's not true. Yeah, what is the game? What am I doing? This is the good game and I just decided to I'm gonna I'm gonna put them all into neat categories because people are really stupid and they need to kinda they need to follow rules, right? And then we're just gonna go fast. Like I if look, if you wanna take a break and talk about something, that's up to you. You are the arbiter of truth, but I'm giving you full permission there's a lot of headlines. We're we're covering the whole world. So I can just whip out a score, no context. These are all headlines from the month of July 2026. Right. You can just if you just want to move on, you can give a score. You can say you can say a a quick one liner or two. You don't have to go into depth. It's just a pure. No. I'm giving you the the the right to just speed the speed around the whole game. Because instead of whittling it down, I was like, you know what? There's a lot to cover. Let's just cover it all and see what happens. Ready? Yeah. So. Are you t are you telling me to be quiet? All right, let's do this. The way it works is I find a head a headline that makes me feel good and then Matt gives it a score zero to ten. All right. We're gonna start with a category called fun headlines. I dispel that notion is really what I do. It just this is just purely headlines that you found fun. Okay. Am I rating the funness or the goodness? What a game. What a what a game. Fun. Yeah, and there's only two of them. Doesn't matter. Well, they make me feel good. They made me feel good. They made me feel good. This is the good game. No, not fun. They made me feel good. This one just because, you know, I it's I think it's the right way to wrap up this whole story and and forgive for that for the American audience that doesn't read anymore, forgive me if you don't get the analogy, but I don't like care. First headline Tesla stock is waiting for Godot. I like that's good. Right? that that is very literary. Who is that? Is that Beckett? Is that like a it's a b it's a play, right? Yeah, Beckett, yeah. It's waiting for someone who never shows up. Yeah. I I think it's the right way to I like that. But is it I th I feel like it missed a trick here 'cause Musk is waiting for good like Elon Musk is the one. Like it's not Yeah, could you could say that Muskie is Godot. You could say that. But but I would say I would say his promises are Godot. Yeah, there we go. I lo I like mine better already. I I I would just go straight up, Musk is Godot. Right? He's frozen again. There we go. Am I back offline? No, I probably am online. This is the thing that's happening. Well that's weird. How long do we think I'll be back though? I don't know what's going on. I don't understand is it your computer or is it could you hotspot it? I I no, it's not my computer. It's my it's it's like w I have w I I I I do and I don't. the c I connecting the the hot spot. All right, let's let's see how far we get. Do you have hotspot? Okay. I mean we could Okay. I mean we could do it tomorrow, but why would it work tomorrow? I don't understand. I don't I well I because I'll fix things. That's what I do. I fix things. That's all I do. Put fires out. All right. T Tesla stock is waiting for Godot. But Musk is really Godot and Musk or we're waiting for Musk. I I'm I'm gonna g I'm gonna give that a a seven. It's fine. Okay, so where are we? Where do you want to start? Give me a score. Okay, let's the other the the other part on the headline is Jim Kramer sa says this quote Zuckerberg's not a bozo, you can quote me on that, end quote. No, he's incorrect. I'm gonna I'm gonna give that a he That's that is a funny thing that he need he needs to confirm. Like just so you guys know. But I like that he has to say that out loud though. He he had to say he's not a bozo. I just think it's funny. Yeah, it's like when Trump you know Trump is constantly confirming these cognitive abilities of his, these tests he takes. Yeah, yeah. And every time he goes and gets a physical it's the it's the it's the greatest physical ever had. It's worrisome. Who talks about that stuff all the time? Nobody. Nobody ever talks about stuff like that. So what do you give the Kramer? I I I give that a five. All right, so staying let's stay with Zuck sucking. Meta employees burned two hundred and twenty one million dollars in AI tokens in one month. whose tokens? Don't they have their own AI? D right, that's one question. I just like that they're burning Zuck's money. That's Zuck's money. I hope I hope they do it forever. I was very confused. I know it is it is just his money. I this this is great because it sh it suggests that A, they're not using their own service. they're buying somebody else's service, and and B, that like they are actually burning Zuck's money. Two hundred and twenty million in a month. That's it's over a billion dollars. They lost eight billion on the metaverse, didn't they? Wasn't that the number? Or was it eighty? No. That's lot. Yeah. Maybe that's why they're firing people. Too many tokens. Could have been eighty billion. I'm gonna give that a ten. I love everything about that. And then staying with Zuck Mark Mark Zuckerberg said AI Gent AI agent tech is advancing more slowly than expected in an internal town hall. Just for him. That's very specific. Well he exp Right, I guess it's you're right. He thought it'd be better. He thought he was smarter than this. It must kill him that anthropic and open eye, Gemini, they're all they're all way ahead of him. He's I ca I I struggle with this because he's actually like i the what makes him br what made him brilliant is his ability to break every rule and not apologize like just keep going, right? Like it's not his technical capabilities that made him brilliant. He like even in the social network they made him look like he was a some super genius. Mm-hmm. Well, okay, but he was like coding simplified things twenty five years ago or whatever, twenty years ago. No, he stole an idea from the Winklevoss twins. He bought Instagram. He bought Instagram. He bought WhatsApp. He bought Oculus Rift. Yeah, not a very complicated idea, but a but an interesting one, I suppose. Yeah. He he c threads was created as a response to Twitter, right? Yeah. Twitter. He he copied Twitter entirely internally. So far, explain to me what his innovations have been. His innovation, the innovations he's tried have been metaverse, AI. Notice how far away we are. I I did think for a little while that th this concept of meta was gonna be in our lives forever, it is s is so gone. It's no, it's a all AI all the time. It's so not there and me somebody asked Jim Krazer Jim Kramer if Zuckerberg's a bozo or not. We kinda need a r I didn't He's not a bozo. He's not a bozo. Give me a score on this one that it's he Mark can't figure stuff out. I I'm gonna give this a seven 'cause that's it's good that Mark actually I'm gonna give it a nine, 'cause that's really good that Mark can't figure something out. All right, stick with the theme. F this is fighting back against big data middle school bro bullies. We're s people fighting back. Japan enacts social media law requiring flagging of AI content in elections. G they actually enacted. The enact is the key word there. That's a that's a ten. Okay. I heard some young people on the bus yesterday you know, kind of questioning each other back and forth, like, n no, this is AI, right? Yeah, it's gotta be AI. And I was just like, we're already here. Like we don't we don't know what's real. Yeah. law school bans laptops and phones as AI cheating scandal grows. This is University of Chicago, that's a s pretty significant university, yeah. Yeah. we're already here. Nobody knows. We don't know what's real. It's already gone, yeah. It's a big law school, isn't it? That's that's good. well it was a Brown professor that that told k students that that they couldn't like they had to come into class to write down on paper to take the exam and they all failed. Like fifty percent of them got got worse grades. I I love this. It's a ten. It's all tens. You was stop it. Just stop it. Just go back to papers and calculators. Take the exam. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow, I'm it's my best game ever. One of my best games ever. disable autoplay and infinite scroll or risk massive fines. EU tells Meta. Wow, we're on a roll here. Meta found to breach EU laws with addictive Instagram Facebook designs. Love it. Ten. found to have breached the laws and actually pay or accountable for the breach of the laws are two different things. So I'll give it a seven because somewhere in between. All right. California versus Elon Musk, Tesla snubbed as new EV incentives boost Rivian and Lucid. Yeah, I covered this one on fr on Friday. I I I love the nuance of this, which is like they literally just set price cutoffs that were below what Teslas are and said, We will cover this and below. And then they basically said, or if you're headquartered in our state, then we'll cover you we'll give you subsidies. And t Musk very famously said. Yeah, you did. I think it's a thirty five hundred dollar rebate. Mm-hmm. Right. I l I hate California. F them and I love it. It's a ten. I'm feeling good, even though the internet doesn't work. New anti Elon ETFs allow investors to avoid Tesla and SpaceX. I didn't know those existed. I might have to invest in one of them. I don't think that's necessarily good. I think that's that is because all they're doing it isn't this reversing stupidity, and my rule about that is it's an automatic five. The indexes added it like fast and they shouldn't have it's a private company, the the whole dual class thing. I'm I'm now beefing with Jeffrey Sonnenfeld about dual class shares. I I I Well yeah. Okay. So why you're here? Yeah no, this I don't know. This is they shouldn't have. As you should. I wonder what Jeff would think of of the indexes just destroying their playbook. I well the but he didn't he didn't mention it in his article. I'm gonna give this a five 'cause it's reversing stupidity. Fast tracking. Right, he didn't know. social media's big tobacco moment, meta faces one point four trillion dollar fine for allegedly fueling teen suicide and addiction. Love the headline, but it's a clickbaity headline. I'm giving it a six, but they're never gonna pay one point four trillion. Well remember this is this is thirty three states in this suit. Okay. Google loses fight over a record five billion dollar EU antitrust fine. It they're never ever in the history of ever going to pay that. I like that. I like that when Google loses a fight. that that's an eight. EU proposal to curb miners' access to social media coming later this year. Okay. Alright. Let's keep this going with fighting back. State this is now stakeholders fighting back. Just a bunch of stakeholders fighting back. This one surprised me. Paramount. I didn't know this was becoming so large and might actually end this merger, possibly. Paramount No, no, no. Wake me up when it's here. That's a five. And Warner Brothers discovery hit with lawsuit from twelve states, including California, to block the merger. This is guy this is this could happen, it looks like. It's I I it's not gonna happen. This this is nice in theory, but it's not gonna happen. It's I'll give it a t a four. Okay. All right. New York Attorney General Sues three others over forever chemicals. It's gonna be fun when the like the Department of Justice gives them immunity for everything or something. I I'm gonna give this a six 'cause I I like that somebody's doing something right. New York City becomes first in the US to ban deceptive subscription practices. Like junk fees and all that. Is that it's yeah, but is that like my Netflix is a deceptive subscription practice? Like what is that? Well, if you look in the billing, I don't know about Netflix. I was looking at my Verizon bill. I think that would probably qualify. And I think Netflix is pretty clear, right? It's just a price, is it not? Yeah, but I feel like everybody's subscription service i should be banned. I don't think we should subscribe to stuff. Like I I I mean, isn't it like it's like it's it's enough. It's we it's actually far w it was way better when we had cable television. You just had the fucking thing on your computer or on your T V. Yeah, I b that I agree with. That I agree with. Enough already. Yeah. Or you could just not get cable and very easily watch T V if you didn't want to pay for it. Yeah. With bunny ears, yeah. Like and and y you could you could get enough events that you didn't care. Like I'm gonna give this s a six 'cause I l they're doing something, but still. And still get like real events, like real sports and real news. Yeah. That's true. PBS. John Deere farm equipment owners have right to repair, FTC says. Just an important clarification this was brought up by the Biden administration, and the Trump administration gets to take credit for it. Yeah, because they're it's some kinda you know, farmers are associated with like Christianity and it's some kind of a weird it's a it's a weird relationship there. So now everyone's gonna be like, Trump won us, you know, the right to repair that we've been asking for. But Biden's FTC, like Lena Khan, like was the one who said this is not okay and brought the lawsuit in the first place. so I like it. Seven. Right. Wow, we're flying. Well this I mean this is we've never had such an efficient good game. let's move on to speaking of fighting back, women to the rescue. This is a whole category. Okay. Yeah. the first one is Judge rules Trump's one point eight billion dollar IRS deal invalid, then calls lawsuit an attempt to manipulate the courts. I only mention this because every headline I see you with a judge, it's Judge Kathleen Williams of the US district court in Miami. Yeah. I it's incredible. It really is incredible. the judge? Of course it is. Yeah. I'm gonna give that a an obvious like i i it i I'm gonna give it an an eight, but cause it was so obvious. The only bulwark against like a total corrupt administration at this point is like five women judges, isn't it? Isn't that the the the whole wall protecting us? That's it. I know, but still Yeah, I think you're right. Thirty five percent of women are now on the SBI boards of directors. It's a Swiss performance index. And and also they're claiming that on those boards where there aren't are not enough women, they're the the fem the nomination committee chairs are vo being voted against at a rate of twenty five percent. Twenty twenty five percent no votes. I only care about the influence numbers, FreeFlow Analytics influence numbers. Cause we FreeFlow found that like in places that mandated women on boards, like in France and in Denmark and Norway and Sweden, they had the largest power gaps where women were on the board at higher rates and had less committee role, you know, like n less leadership roles, less equity, all the things were less. So it was like Welcome to the board, women. Now sit and listen to your male owners, is is how it read. So I'm gonna give this a five until more research is done. Well, speaking of which women reach record share of Finnish company porn's in Finland, thirty seven percent. Yeah, they had a super high power gap, so I'm gonna give that a five. All of Scandinavia. They were the worst power gaps in the in the world. All of Scandinavia, right, has a high influence gap? the the women who covered this earlier this week, I think. The women who wouldn't let climate data disappear, these are three women, Rebecca Lindsay, Anna Eshelman, Mary Lindsay, who they they recreated the the the government's site on climate data. They completely recreated and saved all the data. Right? I this is a 10, and it's I like I have for two reasons. First of all, somebody did it, and it had to be done, and y you knew it was gonna get done, and of course it was three women who did it. And number two is I have deep empathy o for this, right? Like, cause I feel like our entire company is built on recreating data that we find in somebody left in a gutter somewhere. Like I feel like Yeah, 'cause e e even in the world of BSG and ESG data where I mean these people rely on this data to kind of, you know, formulate their quote unquote opinions on things, the the d the data disappears year year over year. There there's no there's no way of accessing it going going back historically. I don't I don't understand that. I I don't get that. Yeah. I remember I r remember back at the mothership at MSCI when we were like building ESG ratings that we had people I had people reach out to me and ask me like, we wanna like I at one point when we started FreeFloat a right after MSCI, there was a group that reached out to me and said, We wanna recreate the MSCI ratings, but we wanna do it like algorithmically. We don't you know and I said, Good fucking luck. 'Cause what we did was literally hand collect bullshit from companies all over the world. And you can't do that another way. There wasn't another way, and there isn't still another way, 'cause it's so non standardized. And they ended up like basically just trying to like guess. They just had math guesses at what the rating would be. it I I love that these women did it. It's it's a ten. Yeah. Well, I remember at the mothership when when my company, the GMI ratings, was bought by MSCI and some of us were a little bit like, like really? We're we're losing our independence. they said, No, no, no, no. It's gonna for you nerdy loser researchers they're talking about me, of course. there's there's great there's great news ahead. you know, there's gonna be fruitful fields lie ahead. We're gonna ha you're gonna have access to to new data set to all the historical data, it's all it's Yeah, yeah. That's you specifically. You're gonna it's it's gonna be so easy for you to manipulate it and make your reports and have these all these insights. I was like, Okay, well I guess that's cool, but that never happened. Didn't even come close. We Yeah, we lost data, w we we we we shipped out the we fired the the local data collectors. There was no underst we we s we sent it overseas where there was a lack of understanding of of governance in general, but anyway, those are other points. No, of course it didn't happen. Not only did it did it not happen, the opposite happened. They they lost data. You had no historical access. Let's get back to being happy. stakeholders rule category. That's an old fashioned one. Just stakeholders w you know, winning. Yeah, power workers independence day strike wins pensions in Pennsylvania. This is the publicly traded utility in Philadelphia. They won their pensions back, I guess. This straight up, it's good, yeah. Did they they lost their pensions? The they ha they were losing things. They also won the right to have lifetime health care, in retirement. So they they won some things. They won some good things. You you look confused. Well, okay, I that I might have misspoke there. I don't know. I but my sense is that these days most strikes unfortunately are reversing like a cruel stupidity from above. That's my sense. Yeah, okay, maybe you're right. Yeah, I yeah, I I give it a five. I don't know what to make w when you win your pension back, I don't know. What is that? That's true. So five by rule for me. Yeah. Fortune five hundred Lando Lakes. that's a why does it have to be in the headline? Why is that why do we care? Lando Lakes Because it's not publicly traded, so nobody everyone's like, What is that? No. No it I I Beth Ford is 'cause she's the CEO of Landle Lakes. She's everywhere. She's on every board and every non profit. it's not? I thought it was in our database. Lando Lakes Yeah, go. Okay. That's true. She is. Lando Lakes is letting workers choose what days and times they work. and the flex jobs are getting more applicants, blah, blah, blah. But I I thought that was interesting for a Fortune 500 company. Letting workers choose what days and times they work. I mean the let's operate under the just the assumption that everybody who's working at a major corporation is an adult. And let's operate well on a second assumption, which is that most people want to be good and successful. No nobody like goes to work is like, I really want to suck at this job. Like everybody would like to be good. When you allow people to be adults Yeah. Yes. Yeah. and you motivate them to be good, it doesn't fucking matter when they come in, if they come in, how many hours, like like set it It kinda doesn't unfortunately. Not with de but you're talking about mostly desk jobs, right? 'Cause I obviously it would be different manufacturing or factories or right? Yeah, well, 'cause you gotta be in a physical space, but if come on, like this is great. Like this is them letting be adults. I'm gonna give it a seven. mostly because I'm glad it I'm glad it's happening. But I wish other companies would treat their employees like adults. Jamie Diamond called his employees like lazy. Didn't Brian Moynihan Brian Moynihan said if you don't show up on time to a meeting, you're selfish. That's what he said. Like, well, who are these fuckers? With a team, probably. Yeah. Well Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, I don't know. Well, they're Brian Moynihan and Jamie Diamond. You it's funny you mentioned Beth Fork, 'cause when I first read that headline, I thought, Well, this is a win for w working women. Absolutely. Women we know how much they take care of at home, but then you reminded me that the the CEO of Lana Lakes is a woman, like which is pretty rare. So I don't know if there's a you know, causation there, but the next one, he earns thirty three dollars an hour as a Costco cashier. Now he's a millionaire. This is one of those click baity headlines, but I thought, you know what? I I I now shop at Costco. I don't know if you've ever been to Costco, ever shopped at Costco. Yeah. I I don't go to Target anymore. I only go to Costco. And I the one thing I will say is well two things I'll say. That some of the nicest people I've ever dealt with as a customer, helpful, happy, polite, whatever, but the cashiers specifically are so damn good at their jobs. I mean, they get me out I I it's like seconds. I I I barely have time to say anything. And I just think I just picked this one because you know, a dignified wage For an American worker. I it just it's unusual, that's all I'm gonna say. I don't see this very often. Well, they've they write it like I can't believe someone from Costco is a millionaire. Like but but the fact the fact is that's a being a millionaire or having a million dollars is like i if you wa ever want to retire, you can't retire for less than a million dollars, right? Like like you're you're between the cost of health care and the cost of living, you know, like if you retire at sixty five and you live twenty more years I know, that's the yes, that's what you're supposed to click on, yeah. Do the math. Like a million dollars actually doesn't get you that far. So this is this this actually means that you have to pay a living wage for people to retire and live in dignity. That's it. I'm gonna give it a a six. Yeah, it's a lot. Well and and beyond that I would say that what Costco at least is recognizing is that they would they really if if you didn't have these great workers who were so good at their jobs, i i the company would suffer. If they were like dopey, they didn't they didn't know how to help you, they didn't know where things were, they didn't care, they gave it Yeah, of course it would. Like th no one goes to th Have you ever tried to ask a person at Target where something is? They look they look like they simultaneously wanna murder you and don't know. Yeah, they they stare at you kinda blankly. Yeah. Yeah. And you don't get that at Costco ever. the last one in this category, stakeholders rule, is this one's for me. This is b always I've said this for years. Why don't they just do this? Chief sustainability officers, new pitch to CEOs. Climate action isn't about morals, it's about money. See, I right? I think this is how they should be fooling all the CEOs. Like they're like, okay, let's let's just try to make some money off of this. How about that? There's There's no fooling. There's a ch you could make money off of this. This is not Yeah. Stop s stop pretending that you're a a data scientist, a climate scientist. Stop just stop and I'm just gonna help you make some money here with this stuff. Chief sustainability officers, what the fuck have you been doing f like before this? Well, you've been you've been what, appealing to you know, like saying like look at these children who are starving in Africa. Well that that's worked a lot for Fortune five hundred CEOs. I'm I'm gonna do I'm gonna give this a five. This is reversing stupidity. Yeah. That might not be the way to get to their hearts, yeah. okay, here we go. two more categories. First one's called idiots losing money. Okay. This is just the headlines. I'm just going with the headlines. Eric Trump has lost six hundred million dollars of daddy's money betting on crypto. I don't think that makes a difference. I don't think he loses money because they just steal it. So I'm gonna give that a five. That's an interesting perspective. And then this is a very simple headline. I I I didn't even dig into it. It's a very quick one. Larry Ellison loses $60 billion. Yeah. I just liked it. All right. Finally, for the good game of July 14th, 2026. We've done a good job here. You've done really well. It's clear that you want to get out of here and do something else. It's very clear. You know, I'm gonna give that a ten for the succinctness of the headline. There's no context, there's no nothing. It's just guy loses sixty billion. I'm worried the internet's gonna go down. I just wanna move. So we're gonna end this one on the speed round of stupid. Okay, five category five headlines. Remember, all of this is real, by the way. I know everyone, the people who listen to our show think, okay, well, they just make everything up and no, nothing's made up. Honda, and again, I just like the headline here. I just Honda recalling more than 325,000 vehicles over potential crash risk. Right? Yeah. That's a selling. Yeah, okay. No, no. We don't make nothing up. Yeah. That seems like a good reason to recall some vehicles. But I I but I can't give that a good headline. I'm gonna give that a five. I mean if we if we're gonna get like, you know, philosophical here, aren't all vehicle isn't there a potential crash risk with all vehicles? Right? Am I wrong? Yeah. Actually like there's a potential crash risk of bicycles and and and motorcycles and I saw somebody with a motorized unicycle today. That's true too. But bice God. But bicyclists, they're not gonna see they're they're not gonna really hurt anything if they crash. I I get more irate these days as people and I I am I almost can't blame the people because we have a new car and we used to have like a what a two thousand eleven Subaru Outback and you couldn't it couldn't really go that fast in the highway. It just started to feel weird, right? Yeah, wobbles, yeah. Now it's it's easy to like accidentally go like ninety. It's because the these these cars are impressive. They're so but they go at such great speeds so easily and if you fuck up, you're gonna kill. I mean they're killing machines. So I don't know. Yeah, we can move on from this topic. They don't need to be that fast, is my point. Yeah Yeah, yeah. Well I mean you could have a bicycle with a lance at the end of it, I s I I I guess. What happened to the 55 mile per hour speed limit? That's that's what I want to say. All right. stup speed round of stupid. What did you give that one? You gave it a five. Costco CEO. This one comes up all the time, but I you know, I just can't say it again. Costco CEO promises the $1.50 hot dog is not going away. The price will not change as long as I'm around. I gave that one a five. I so what I like what I find interesting about this headline is it suggests that they will lose money on every hot dog happily because they know they make the money back elsewhere, right? Yeah. Well, that is part of the pricing model at Costco. 'Cause I I I think they do it with dairy too. They sell it at a loss because they know people will come just for like whatever, milk or eggs or Yeah. duck. And I you know, I've seen these hot dogs. They're pretty big and they're they're pretty impressive looking. And you know what the worst part is? Not only they come with twenty ounces of soda, is For milk, eggs and a hot dog. Right. I don't want that. With a free real fill too. So if you have a horrible diet, this is the best deal ever. But then I think this is people don't need any of this. But I just think it's fun and stupid. So what do you give me give me a score? I'm gonna give this this is Ron Vacras or is this I'm gonna give this a seven. I like I like a man who says a thing and sticks by it no matter how stupid it is. Yes. West Virginia spent three million dollars to create university program to fight woke audiology. One student is enrolled. ten. This is the greatest like th this is correct. Nobody gives a shit about your like anti woke. Yeah. Ooh, good idea. I'd like to meet that student. We should have that student on. It's obviously a guy, right? It's gotta be a dude, right? There's no doubt. Olive Garden is bringing back its this one's for you. These last two are for you. The first one because you're Italian, so I thought you'd appreciate this one. Olive Garden is bringing back its $100 unlimited pasta pass after a six year break. I love how specific all that is. What do you think that is? what is an unlimited pasta pass? You think it's like a No. No, I don't Is it like a badge? Do you have to wear on your is like a lanyard, do you wear it around your neck? Like No, I th No, is it's like a membership card, but it's like really thick and made out of metal and you pull it out of your wallet and everyone's impressed. Yeah, you have to pull it out and be like, I have the pasta pass and then they serve you unlimited pasta. And you have to you have to like embarrassingly like pull it out and like show it. And then you And you could come in three times a day? I what do I know the r th I what rules about a pasta vest? Yeah, of course I don't know this. Olive Garden is the furthest thing from Italian food. It's like saying General Sao's chicken is Chinese food. It's not. You're Italian, you don't know this? They have pictures They have pictures of Italy of Italy on the walls, I'm pretty sure. They have breadsticks. isn't that what Rome invented was breadsticks? That's yeah, I I take it back. It is fully Italian. You know what they don't have in Italy, having been there multiple times? They don't have unlimited pasta pass. That's they don't have Olive Garden either. this is a zero. I hope they don't have Olive Garden is my real hope. Give me a score. I just like too, I like six year break. I like that they they they sat on this for six years and they're like, you know what, guys, it's time. Well, in in that case, it probably should be at ten because it's in my speed round of stupid, but that's all right. Finally, let's end the show with this one. This is another one from Matt. This is zero. It should have never it should have never been brought back. Taco Bell makes urgent changes after outbreak of explosive diarrhea. What are the urgent changes? They stop serving food? Well, you know what's an urgent change is is explosive diarrhea. It's a it's a urgent change on your bowel, right? Yeah, well I don't like that change. I well like although although who who goes to Taco Bell? It's like Taco Bell's not Mexican food. Olive Garden's not Italian food, right? No teenagers. No. Well speaking of which I saw that Chipotle is opening its first restaurant in Mexico and I was like, Really? That n I mean, I guess it makes sense when you think about what Chipotle tastes like, but it's a lot better than Taco Bell, let's be fair fair. You could get cheap tacos at like a street vendor in Mexico for, you know, nothing. Almost made it. Almost made it. Almost made it. my god, we almost made it. I knew we'd we'd hang up talking about diarrhoea for too long. Give me a score. That's well, you all right. I'm giving I'm giving this a zero 'cause there's no urgent change that Taco Bell could make that would make it not give you explosive diarrhea. I will say, can I just applaud before we t tune out of here and get and leave I wanna applaud the human body, by the way, for diarrhea, as much as I hate it, it it is one of our best inventions. It's like it y you eat something and it's like, no, no, no, no, no. And it just like gets rid of I think that's cool. Right? I would be better I'd be more okay with it if i it if people actually paid attention when they had it and said, I'm not gonna go back to Taco Bell that they don't do that. So Right. They don't repeat the incident. I know. They don't do that. They don't seem to care. They don't seem to care. Yeah, it's actually it's a fair point you made because when I was younger there was a lot more explosive diarrhea. But now that I'm like a little wiser, it like doesn't happen 'cause I don't eat crap anymore. I I eat normal food. No, I don't. All right. let's let's look at the score. how do you always get the same score? I don't understand. I I thought we had something going. 'Cause you don't go to McDonald's and Taco Bell and Chipotle and yeah, yeah, you don't. It's a six six point seven. Actually, if you do the actual math, it's a six point six six. That's the actual math. Yeah. I thought we had something going, but it kinda it went downhill. All right, yeah. All right, go ahead. That's pretty good. that's that's less good. That feels Satany. That's all we got. That was our speed round, mostly because of my internet. That's Hazelnut, Rollis, Damien to his friends. I am your analyst, Holomat Muscard. We are free float. Come back on are we doing a proxy countdown this week? I I think we're skipping a proxy countdown this week. We're in summer session, but we'll have something for you next week. I think we should do the whole show on scenario modeling. and then on Friday we'll wrap up the week. Until then, good bye. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. I don't think we I think we're skipping. We'll do it next week. maybe we can do scenario modeling maybe next week. That would be awesome, yeah.
