2023 PREDICTIONS? We sucked at them

Live. And really our live know, we're not really alive. We're chilly. We're cold from a muddy, Friday cold puddle of Glee, It's the business pants. 2023 prediction gasm review. That's Featuring are the data Queen, Jesse, the money whisper and our analysts whole mattress. I feel like I just want to use car with the way you delivered that I'm hazelnut Rallis. And Today's show our 2023 prediction review show because yeah, Because we everyone needs a prediction review. Show in other words, how did we do last year on our prediction? So not only did we have a 2023 prediction show where we did created, some very intelligent articulate predictions, looking forward to the next year did that, we also each one of our shows, we, we also make predictions so we put it all together and we're gonna present that day to you, Matt. Jesse are we took this so seriously that we even got an intern just for that. Just for this predictions and she her name is Chantal and she magically put them in a spreadsheet and even color-coded yeah, she did. Whether they're, whether there were green for correct, I don't see a lot of green know, read read. Yellow. If she was unsure, plenty of yellow purple. If it was a joke and she's mostly looking at you, I think she thinks you're a joke, that's the there are so many layers to some of Matt's predictions that it can't be anything other than a joke. It's not, it's why she ultimately called them a joke, you're a joke. So that's what we did. So we're each going to go one by one and we're good. We're basically I there's just too many predictions to go over. I mean there's I think there's literally 112 predictions. So we're just gonna Go and tell you the audience. What our best. Let's start with best prediction we're gonna. Let's let's so I want to know, everyone's best prediction right off the bat, right? Ready? We're gonna do best predictions. My prediction is that I still hate that music. Now we're never getting rid of it. Best predictions. Let's start with Ari's best prediction because are he's got only energy. How does what pick the best prediction out of so many crap? This going to be said, are you rewarded this one? And I'm gonna tell you my prediction not of what should have happened or could it still happened? But What? I predicted that already happened. That's right. Because what listeners I know you remember this? I predicted at the beginning of the year that there was going to be a female Boomerang CEO, right? Boomerang CEO. Okay. Somebody that leaves and then comes back. Yeah. Usually a male, that's why this prediction was like, yeah, well, because there's a reason for that because it's usually a founder of the company, right? And are there female Founders in the world? I mean, Bumble, are there any Well, turns out? Personally, not that 3 days before we put the, we did the show, Katrina leaked the founder of Stitch fix announced. Well, first of all, she stepped down a CEO in April 2021, and then she announced a couple days before a show that she was coming back as interim CEO. That's right, and 20%. The workforce is going to be laid off. You now that prediction. Thank you. This is almost as good as like, alcoholic drinks by still there. No, she's not, she's still there. Step down June. She's an art database. So, our database is that two years ago, you made the prediction that coke would release an alcoholic beverage. Yes. And they had already done. Matt you go next. What's your best prediction? Oh my best prediction. My best prediction was I have two here and I'm curious, which one of which one you think is the best? One, one prediction was from a show I think in April, where I said, or March that Twitter's new CEO, this is right. After they announced Lindy Aquinas the new CEO. I predicted Twitter's new CEO hat would have less than 5% influence over Twitter. So that was pretty number one, that's pretty, that's pretty awesome disputing. That that's, that's not, that's true. That's not very clear, voyant prediction, but it's accurate green by Shontelle. Know, I think it was marked, not sure Sean Paul because Here. There's but she's right though because we don't actually measure Twitter. We don't, they're not a publicly traded company. We don't measure her influence but I think you're right. Matt, I think it would hover around 5% probably be slightly less, but I, she has no, because she has no real background, right? She's never well, she's been on a board of a publicly traded company. She's not connected. Never been a name executive. I was right. The money, the methodology. The free flow analytics uses to just discover influence on the board includes their resume. You know whether they've been a CEO before, she's in no on that. Whether they're, like, Highly Educated. I'm sure she is, but we're there. She's just status on the board whether or not they have a lot of shares their Insight, they're not, she's not, she's got nothing, he's got nothing, there's not even a board. What she did Matt, She interviewed him as part of either a conference or a TV show, and he liked her tough questioning. That's Yeah, that's how she that's how he I do. Like that, that was the only criteria considering the amount of tough questions he gets from everybody else. And but I think the second one was the better one which is the anti-woke vote Target that when they're voting, their proxies they target powerful women on boards. They target them to vote them out. Yeah. In fact, the data suggested we made that prediction in 20 for the 2023 prediction show like for the for the year. And we ran a show in. I want to say may where we look through all of strive asset Management's votes to date and they were voting against women at a two-to-one ratio versus men. Well, we're all quibble with you is that we don't know that they were targeting powerful woman, right? Just anywhere. Well, right. Just all the way. Yeah, well that's true. So striving against They do explicitly say that they don't say anything. Hey they're loading against anyone. That's shocking, that's cool. They vote. I just I guess that's why they actually they do vote against all CEOs on boards for the most part. I mean almost uniformly and they vote against all pay packages. They like always vote against pay and enough to talk about stripe Jesse. Before we get to the only real good prediction which was mine. What I actually did have any predictions that came true so, The whole year no green, no green. She was like already true. Like there were like chewins so they're not really even worth noting. So I just picked my favorite. It's not true. I just picked my favorite. And it's, that Taylor, Swift initiates, an anti-muslim and together with her 50s, they get muscles. Most most is sort of, on the process of canceling himself, so that's an accurate, not fast. That's true. What was that an actual prediction that you made or you saying that? No, I made that. Oh, you made that, you know, around her tour and all of that like whatever. But Jesse will say, this is pre her infatuation with like a football player, so I don't know. I think it went everywhere. She started dating. Yeah. But in football player, maybe maybe we thought she'd do something good to them on board a football player. And we've got a whole new Democratic of mousquetaires. That's true. Actually, you're right. You're right. This is why I predicted that that she was gonna run for president and he was gonna be the first. First man, All American first, man. Yeah, the first first, man? All right, my prediction, I think the only come on this is the only real good prediction. I drum roll for this. I predicted as part of our 2023 prediction show that the lack of board level cybersecurity expertise, with finally catch up to the corporate world. And there would be several public companies essentially attacked I went on to maybe be a bit grandiose with this, but but the heart of it is true, especially a Clorox which was so badly by a Cyber attack in August that it disrupted their all of their operations and it led to massive a massive quarterly loss. It really Clorox hard now and then now Going on right now. BF Corporation is also been hit by VF. They owned such things as Vans Vans sneakers. They're hit by a Cyber attack, it's affecting their operations. The one thing I will say though is that nobody seems to care the Clorox shareholders didn't vote against anybody. They don't care that the company was attacked and that they had nothing in place to fix it. I think the view of these cyber attacks is that its not their fault. It's magical. It's like, magic, fairy. It's like, isn't now. It's just like, oh, it's just like an earthquake, you know, like that attribution theory where, if something good happens. Yep, you did it. But when something bad happens, it's somebody else's fault. That sounds like my daughter. she says that about everything in our house, Yeah, but but that was the closest prediction and since we started with the best predictions of 2023 that we made as a group and only one of them was mediocre. It's all downhill, it only gets worse. Can I tell you? My can I tell you, my runner-up for my best prediction. My real best prediction which is still happening is that I said, I actually predicted that I was gonna keep saying and keep telling people that I'm going to see the Barbie movie, but I'll never will. And, and I realized I saw, I just saw this. That's still happening. Yeah. Last week like, oh, yeah, I still want to see it. I actually like Greta Gerwig, a lot. I see a lot of Greta go work films, so I'm like, I'm gonna see this but I just still haven't. So I love my breasts. Really get behind a prediction that you make about yourself. I'm not gonna eat any cheese this year. Like I had a lot of cheese. Let's move on. What do you want to do next? What you do worse prediction of the year now since we did best let's do worse, everything else. Everything know there's because the next two categories are could have actually happened and should have actually happened. Those are fun. I'll go first. I was gonna have Jesse. I'll get mine out of the way cuz mine's mine's boring. So I want to get my other way. I basically I several times over the year. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm like stupidly idealistic. Several times over the year, I suggested a woman or a person of color would take over a company and I had several specific examples, I had John Kim PayPal, Rachel Glaser. I predicted to be the CFO at Disney. I predicted a woman taking over came incorporation AMC. Now that I was very fixated on thinking that I was gonna find the right women to take over these kind of none of it remotely AFC. That was a good. That was a good one too. I tried already about it. Does seem we are. I will say as patterns go, we are very bad at predicting, like, who's going to replace CEOs? We've done it really badly because nobody else. That's true. We don't, that's true. We don't know enough of their friends, Jesse. What was yours, okay. so, It is my worst. But it's a totally wrong. So here is personal for you. This is personal for me. So I predicted that Birkenstock would be the next, all birds or Doc Marten. And their IP, they would IPO strong and then the stock would take six months later. Can I just say I still like this predictions, specific? Yeah. Wow. No worse. Part of it. I actually tried to seriously predict. So I have to face off props for that they can still take. So part of it is just a joke by Sean has not been proven yet. However, she say about this, she gave me this fact, berkenstock IPO opening day performance ranks as the sixth worst of 95 IPOs to have raised over a billion. Oh was strong is incorrect and that it would take it's actually up 28% Far. But kudos to Chantelle, for actually, giving you the know I know during out the reality. Well, I'm gonna tell you something, I'm gonna tell you something about that. What Chantelle did there? She told me later that she just made that. Well, it works in my favor for picking this, as my worst, Jesse. I think this is actually, I'm gonna disagree with you. I think this is a I know you got it backwards. Yeah, that's a great game. I think this is a, who cares? Good prediction and it lets it lets our intern shine with this great data. I mean, I don't care about that. I care about it being a good prediction is a good prediction the stock. So technically it's wrong. And are you need to go next? Because you really you guys hear me out. I have three for my worst predictions. So, go ahead. What am I predictions? Was that second prime day was gonna be canceled. Your prediction again, why did you thinking that? Prime day was shocked less. Yeah. Yeah to be honest we're like let's all be in this together and you were like degrowth mindset. Yes, exactly. Which I think everybody needs to come. You know, anyway that did not happen. This second October Prime day, outpaced last year's event and it's set up shopping for the holiday season, which that setting up shopping for the holiday season keeps getting earlier and earlier, So we're not just November now we're in October. Yeah and it was such a it was such a success way to go. Every day is Christmas in America. My second worst prediction was that Bill Ackman was gonna take over Twitter and then whoa and then make a public again and fire Elon Musk and shut down anti-Semitism and he would that's a fascinating one. Only did you predict this before he said that he was liked Elon whatever before he trained. Right? Exactly. That's pretty fascinating. You, you did kind of get the Bromance right, sort of you had Bill hating Elon you got something right? I got two names. You like that. so I was just so bad, who could have predicted that all the, the people that supposed people who who fight anti-Semitism would all cozy up to Eli all the cynics, get a predicted this Even the ADL itself, CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League. Even he still uses the platform. I don't understand that, I don't get it. And my last horse prediction was about Bed Bath and Beyond, and they had declare bankruptcy. And I, you know, I post a question, will they be a Sears or a Best Buy? So Sears, you know, we'll see to exist. Pretty much. Oh, will they be a Best Buy fondue way to still exist and turns out? The answer is neither really Overstock IP closed. All, their all their stores. It's still exists online. However, Bye Bye. Baby. Which is, which was part of Bed Bath & Beyond, it was spun off and reopened. So maybe neither books, I don't know. You get half credit for this. That's come on. Are these aren't that was one? That wasn't that bad, that's how that's I feel like you're kind of silently. Just by these reactions so bad about myself all day yesterday. I will say though that whether Sears or Best Buy is gonna buy Bed Bath & Beyond as one of your most they're going to buy it it was just gonna turn out, take it over. I don't know what we're apparently you don't shop at Bed Bath & Beyond like art. You don't you don't know me that world, mine were pretty, obviously bad. Um, more so than even Ari's all the I will say Aries. Weren't that none of mine had already come true before, right? So that Advantage I all my metaverse predictions were horrible. What were the one that stood out was the first metaverse Airline is launched with no cancelation guaranteed and low back Chantels Insurance about that. That one was. You label was a joke that one was labeled as he Be a real thing, but there were a couple of metaverse predictions most of which had to do with like metaverse, real estate or metaverse. Whatever. And the metaverse died. A horrible, horrible death in the wake of open AI dead. It's just, yeah, sure. Gone. It's not good. But I will point out that like as the metaverse predictions died, meta renamed itself from Facebook to meta platforms, can we also say that that was the worst branding move of 2022? Now, I just, I just don't think it's over. I just think it was hyped too soon. I guess I also made and this one is the one that hurts the most. I made a whole bunch of predictions about proxy voting. Okay. Like what? Here. Three that I made anyone was gonna get a vote against me. Yeah, basically free flows, new proxy driven show. Proxy countdown would be a massive hit so far not true. So so far still have time. It's new. Yeah, yeah, it's no but I predicted that. Thanks to a massive. Yeah. Massive is the problem. I don't think I'm ever gonna get to that home. I predicted that thanks to FTX due diligence actually becomes a thing again, a trend. Yeah, like it's trendy to do due diligence. And governance is cool again. Yeah. But due diligence on Twitter said, no, but if you can just Escape go, if you scapegoat the kid with wild hair, then, nobody cares. Well, that's what it's kind of like a Cyber attack. It's an active God from the wild-haired. I I totally underestimated the casual and difference. We have to, you know, governance corporate governance, basically white bro, Founders like just throwing money at losers. Like Professor or how much is how about anyone connected to Stanford? It's fine. Well, I just, I think after this prediction is a bit home's, Sam, bankman, freeze. After this prediction, that Marc Andreessen announced the largest in a Horowitz investment ever in Adam Neumann, right? Like, so, apparently, I was totally wrong, like, 10 minutes after I made the prediction and one of my big predictions for the year. Was that a director would get Voted out based entirely on the carbon emissions associated with them. Like I thought we'd have our first Wishful thinker based on our data, not based on our data specifically but we have that data. But based on the idea of these are high emitting directors, we are going to vote them out on a car, a carbon vote. Yeah, that's crazy. Yes. How close that one was? Yeah, it's fun and totally wrong like zero but what percentage of directors get voted out of public companies, what is it? Zero point two percent. So, here are the numbers for you. People don't predict that someone's gonna get voted out because you have a 0.2% chance of being correct, that's the real numbers. So those were my worst predictions. Are we ready for things that should have happened in 2023? You ready? I mean, sure. Have a good one. We're gonna start with our you started. Get the energy back up. Come on. Hey later. I predicted bnpl to be banned, banned by whom by regulatory bodies. Yes. Strong and like Carl under the 95 overpass. No more. Now pay later. No, I still think they should be banned. You know, because people are like, oh, it's just like a credit card. So now our credit cards gonna be banned. A first of all, they're not like a credit card. They are These people are just they are worse because they're just, I've never done. I've never done. Allow her to have a strong man conversation with someone who's not here. I don't know anybody. I don't know anyone who's ever said. Oh baby. Just like a credit card, like, are you Here. Well I I care about the fact that it should not be a thing, right? However I just don't use it until everyone briefly Ari. Why is it worth an incredible? Because there's no you know, credit run. It just targets people who are vulnerable like financially vulnerable. There's no credit, check on them. So younger people are using buy now pay later to buy things that they can't afford and the fees and everything associated with it is so their fees. I didn't realize if you miss a payment they come at you. I'm a predatory lending but it's like the oldest form of predatory lending. It's effectively like yeah. It's effectively like you know, you know, the short-term loans that you could get your paycheck loans like before you get your paycheck, you get a payday loan. You're out dating yourself, but this is the same. Well I'm sorry. You're not just dating yourself. So buy now pay later is called layaway for 50 years and then it comes back and it's called buy now pay later. And when you had to drive to Kmart to put your things on layaway, it's that hurdle that is now. So easy at your fingertips. That is going to describe no idea what this layaway jumped the shark shark. Can we move on from this? Oh this is she said it should have happened. It should have been banned and I agree with you. It's like wrong. It's it's actually highly likely to get regulated but not banned but but regulated get rid of credit cards for. All right, who asked Jesse, what should have happened in staying? I chose that Ree and I should have made three sales at Greenfield so, He? And first of all, you're supposed to project strength and confidence and like, like we are hugely successful Corporation. You never project that we missed three sales. Oh, you're saying on the podcast? Yeah, on the podcast. You, you're, you're still doing it wrong, you notice, it's not working for you. It's okay. Because we're not actually recording. This is going out into the world, but we did underestimate as a company, no matter how much data and how good you are. Because we have been uniformly, told that what we have is amazing like amazing and I'm not kidding everyone. We've shown it to is said this is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Coming out of governance coming out. Yes, she is the world's most and we're not natural zero of the people. Everyone's like, it's a little aggressive to vote against directors. Yeah, zero point two percent of direct debt. That's the only number that matters through this whole show in my mind, 0.002 Damian, what was yours? My should have happened is boring but easy I just think with all the craziness going on at Disney's just constant woke battle and I always got activist investors after him and all this nonsense with Bob Iger coming back. I just think Apple should have just bought Disney. Just get it over with Wow, I still feel like I still feel like it's gonna happen. But nothing would save their reputation. Oh, why is that so bad? Why is that? Such a bad prediction? It's not a bad prediction ever. I just think everybody predicted when you know that, right. Oh, they did. That was bad. All right. Well, I just think it's like, I don't, I don't understand why Bogger would come back to a headache, I don't. Well there's there should win The Vision Pro, which I think it's released early 2024, right? Like, is it out now or it's it's just this one that's like that was like really expensive. Yeah. The 4000 dollar one that basically you which will one day probably take over the world, it'll be so far. But once everyone's wearing that thing around like, the the need for like immersive storytelling and like, you know, the it actually will make a lot more sense, but at this point, I don't think Tim Cook wants anything to do with the mess that is Disney and I mean, but it doesn't not make it a more attractive, but doesn't it make the price. But your problem is you're like, does Tim Cook, does Apple want Parks, right? Like what they want, is the IP, they make money, they could sell the parks. I think they want the IP, but, and they want the entertainment parts of it. They Do not want the linear television. They probably would keep ESPN, but no other linear television, and they definitely don't want the park, except for the gamble. It sounds. Horrible ESPN is becoming a ESPN is basically becoming a cesspool of gambling, so I don't even know if Apple would want. That sounds kind of funny, but I'm serious. Yeah, it sounds fun to me. I just love that. I just love how it's like, Steve Jobs left. Apple started Pixar and then he sold the Disney went back to Apple became a trap and then eventually Apple buys Disney come on. It's all yeah. Pixar got Bob by Disney and yeah. All right, so that's my shoulder. Here's my should have happened in 2023 and this really could still happen, but should have happened already. I predicted that conservatives in the US would become the largest purchasers of ESG data and the first quarter of 2023 in order to ban trans black Jews from providing abortions in their states. I that was like the rest of the partially targeted by that, but my prediction was that effectively. If we're going to talk about anti-esg anti-woke, you're gonna make policy and rules against it. You need the data to do it. And the people who sell that data are ESG providers, I thought they'd be the biggest purchasers of ESG. Hey, call us but Matt, but who is they like, who are you even talking like strive and like, but they're just aren't enough, there aren't enough, there isn't the ETF called The God Bless America ETF with the ticker y'all like come on, they they should be buying ESG data in order to do this, that is real. That's really you can buy that. They don't want to do it effectively, that's why. Yeah, it turns out they defined with me. Okay. Don't care at all of its right too many. Let's finish up our prediction review with could still happen. That's got like five days before on topic. No, come on. We got you. Got you started off? Tell him my my could still happen. Okay. So one of my best predictions of all of the 2023 show was that a very morbidly that Warren Buffett. And Charlie Munger The Berkshire, Hathaway Bros would both die. I mean which is not a crazy prediction because they're both really old seven years old. It's my prediction combined eight, my prediction, my prediction was going for the joke, my, the joke. Being that Warren Buffett would die first and then, Charlie Munger would just wouldn't want to live without him and then he would die 10 days later. So I got half the prediction right. Charlie Munger did die a couple of months ago. I predicted 1999. Yeah. So what? And so I'm telling you that, I don't know. I know the world will be sad but Warren Buffett still could die. I mean, it's still happen. My other thing that I predicted that I'm not happy to have predicted, is that Vivek ramaswamy who was running for president on the as a republican, you know, who is getting like 1% of the vote five, my, my prediction was that Donald Trump would pick him as vice president. The Silver Lining to that. No, he was on our show. Yeah, he was a silver lining. I mean, we all have to leave but he was on the show. That's what I mean. He was on the show, those are. Yeah, that's good very much, still happens. All right. What was your could have still happened in 2023? I could. Oh, so Damien now that Charlie's dad there's an open seat at Berkshire Hathaway and I still think that Buffett Warren Buffett's, grandson grandson. Oh, Ali Junior. This Is Howie. Junior is going to slide right in there and the reason they're really is that is there really a person? How would, you know, his son? Howard is on the board. Correct? Okay. So there is a Howard. Okay. And that guy has the son named Howard as well. Okay, sounds like Jesse's family but the reason why so I predicted this before I knew I knew about this but now the Charlie munger's dead, the The what do you call it? Succession plan has been in the news again and Berkshire Hathaway has a very strong succession plan, right? They already know like Greg Abel. Exactly. And if something happens to him as well, there is another guy right? But Howard Buffett, senior would become non-executive chair of Berkshire, Hathaway in case Warren Buffett dies. And they said, because the number one priority for him would be to preserve the culture Buffett blood. Yes. So, clearly how we do near is going to get on sometime, but I think he will get on on Charlie. I like that. Not know this, that seems possible not know this, but If Warren Buffett dies. Howard Buffett if he comes non-executive he suddenly is fully independent person on the board. Like well, it's a man, it's a controlled company. So they can do whatever the hell but that's bananas. But it's like being like, you know, like if there's, you know, seven lines of Waltons that run the company when the oldest one dies who founded the company is like all the sudden. They're all independent. Like, how does that work? No, no not executive does not imply non-independent. It just it's just me. Just not. I think they call him independent, though. Well, they really think so. Thank you. They can't. Because last name is Buffett, but they can't. But if there's no other Buffett and I just love that all the people here and play for the succession plan. There are all men because it does have a daughter who is on the board. Is anybody know her name? Oh, Susan name, just like her mom, Susan. Oh, you used to be on the board. Anyway, how he's getting on the board? I think it's gonna take Charlie's. All right, I love it. I love it. Who else? All right, my good life could still happen. I really just wish that she would like wake up. But I talked about, I already know I'm talking about what I want her to quit. The end of the year it's too late. She would have already quit on the eve of the 31st, she's like bye. Yeah, this is oh man. It could still happen, right? Every week, you know, the one, the next story comes up. What do you have going on here? Just look at this party. It's realized I have long. Long could, it could have already been a hero Jessie to your point, right? She had a great. Yeah, this should have happened to. I was basically like it denigrated every possible cohort that exists, everybody. He's even told, he's even told Bob, Iger at Disney to go fuc himself. Like, what would he have to say for her to quit? Do you think like something about her baby? Oh, so yeah. Oh yeah. He'd have to be like, you're a real behold and that would be it. I hope after that, she would leave. I don't know. I don't even know about that. Say we're just having a candid discussion candidates. Well it's one thing. It's one thing I will say I hate about the new Twitter is that since it's a private company. We don't even I would love to see her pay package. Like we don't get to see any of it. We don't know anything about. Oh maybe she has to last a certain amount of time to get. Yeah, just fairly private company. I'm sure whatever he gave her was rude and horrible and mean and stupid just like everything that Elon Musk. Right? Well here, what do you have two? Could still happen. One, I predicted actually that I well, I predicted wrongly that the founder fetish economy was dead. Meaning what meaning that we would no longer fetishized these Founders and then Sam Altman happened like Sam, exactly. And it was a big horrible thing. But I predicted that the founders were all effectively get together and complain about Dei in affirmative action and create a course at Prager University, called crit. Go white Theory. Well, Matt, you're not that wrong. I mean, it didn't Elon Musk just announced that he wants to start a university in Texas. I so I'm 100% correct because all they talk about anymore is out. Dei is destroying everything like with. I don't understand it, but we're really a stone's throw from starting a course of Prager University. So maybe that will. If he does actually start a university in Texas, I'm calling that an absolute win for me. It's already a win in my book. The second one I have here is really my favorite and it's not gonna happen in any way, it should happen. But somebody realizes that on Twitter, That Ruger the firearm manufacturer. Actually has a discrimination harassment policy that does not allow discrimination on the basis of gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation disability. And they get so up in arms that they basically are protecting the Gaze that someone on Twitter starts videos where they shoot the Ruger guns with Smith and Wesson guns. And then someone else on Twitter, realizes that Smith and Wesson has an ESG Charter and ESG committee, that does things like diversity and inclusion. So then they have to blow up all their Smith & Wesson guns, but they have to use a landmine because they're out of weapons. Manufacturers, at that point, only to find out the biggest producer of landmines.
