Is that baby being born music? That is that what miles heard the same music? Every single you can get Miles Davis or something? No, I we don't have the rights to Miles Davis live from your well, really, it's an echo chamber at this point from your anti-esg walk-in closet. It's a business pants Friday show here, at July 21st, Lane Studios, featuring all your favorites miles set our way, the data prints. Oh, the data prints, that's an inside joke. Jesse, the money was for and BM man, Matt mascardi. Keep my new name. You are gonna go with this report member but it's also bowel movement. So we're not sure how much using BS. Jesse, we can't use that joke. Yeah, I thought it was like body mass like that. Now, that's way more muscular than I am. So he would be the BM man. The that bar is real low. Even miles Satterwhite is more pumped up than I said. Yeah, I think Miles might be beefier than. Wow, wow. Oh no. Today's weekly wrap-up. Black Rock drinks anti-esg oil. Chubby babies. According to Jesse at least Tesla Rants and deep fake pledges data and dating profiles. Oh what is that? I don't even know what that is. This is very exciting. Can we just get right to it today? Yeah, let's go quickly because this Echo is making me crazy. Yeah, let's do it. Today. I danced store the week. I can go pretty quickly. We've covered all these stores already this week. Big story for nerdy. Yes, she had lines. In no particular order, Tesla board to return 735 million dollars in stock awards, to end a lawsuit over. Wait, what are they doing? Yeah. Why are they doing? You know, the winners of that lawsuit are the investors who voted in the directors, who passed as usual, that's true, but more on that later, Matt. You're covering this story, right? Yeah, boo. BlackRock names. Saudi aramco, CEO Amin Nasser to board in a, yeah, maybe in a win for the anti-esg movement. There are claiming a win. Yeah, they should. I would blame a win for that. I love a good theater piece. Yeah. Okay. This whole thing is stupid. What? Like they already had an oil guy on the board. Yeah. But they had but people don't like spend time researching this stuff like we do. They just react argue people don't read anything. Yeah. They react with recent news, not to mention that 51% of the board influences held by the three black rock insiders. So, does it matter who they named to the board? They could have named, you know, the new CEO of Public Square notion that nobody difference. Nobody in the ESG industry, ever considered Black Rock to be a woke ESG entity in the first place. No, not to mention the fact that every investor is gonna get a 97% for vote on that election anyway. Like, it doesn't make fucking difference. What are we talking about? Number three, big story the week, Elizabeth Warren, urges the SEC to investigate Tesla over Twitter ties and corporate governance issues. And then a few days later, Elon musk's subpoenas Elizabeth Warren days after she called for Tesla investigation. So there that Elon always playing games, what a big fucking diaper always and the fourth big story. Is the most depressing one to me. But this this is kind of like, I, I put this in the, like, the failing up. Horrible owner, CEO category. I don't even know what you call this. This is not technically for a publicly traded company, but I wanted to add this story the NFL. National Football League finds Dan Schneider 60 million dollars over sexual harassment allegation. And for his failure to actually Report and share Revenue. If the other teams like you supposed to they find him a record, find mirror minute after a unanimous approval of him, selling his team for six billion dollars. Honey. What the time joke, the timing NFL, the timing of that fine is horrendous. It's just no no but tell me why. Oh let's start with that story, why? Because he's out of like he once he's no longer an owner. Yeah. It's like the other owners feel cool to find him, right? Like and there are so they didn't find him. The worst part about this whole story is they didn't find him for the sexual harassment. Okay, they find him because he hid revenues from the NFL. So, in fact, even worse there, I was reading that the Mary Jo White's report, which is now out, which they waited, until after he was gone former chair of the SEC Mary Jo White, right? Her investigation. The thing that she found was effectively like outright fraud by the group and there's, there's a potential criminal prosecution embedded in what she found. No criminal prosecution for years and years of sexual harassment. That's not even on the table. That's not even on the table. The timing of this is terrible. It makes like it's like it makes a joke out of the sexual harassment that was going on. No one cares about the sexual harassment, like they couldn't get out for that. But wasn't that one of the key reasons why he is being kicked out of the league? No. Am I wrong? That's the I think that's actually the when you read Mary Jo White, it's like a 30 pages. It's a really long report when you read the report. The it becomes more obvious that it wasn't about the sexual harassment. The reason why he in the ass it was because he was a pain in the ass and he hid money from them. That was it? They basically were like the sexual harassments real bad. But you how dare you hide money from me, right? Like the, how dare you was? Well, other thing, looping back to our first story. Could this be an instant if he did commit fraud, will the NFL try to come after some of the six billion dollars? No, Okay, they're just gonna they're gonna wash their hands of him. They're gonna wash their hands. You're going to walk away with it done with five point nine. You just actually harass women with somewhere else somewhere because Jesse's still can have 5.94 billion dollars of. Oh, yeah, that's what I thought. This drives me. The NFL drives me crazy just but if they addressed it, that means they would its systemic. So that means they would have to address it everywhere. Yeah. There's no way they're gonna do it if anything, there's no way. Yeah. If anything, they're using that as a little extra like, and here's another reason why we hate him, right? The fraud is what we really hate, but just so, you know, like this guy's kind of a jerk even though we've known, if I feel like yours, I feel like it's the flip. They said, the reason why we hate him is all the sexual harassment. How terribly is to women? Oh, and by the way, the Frog all so is there and the reason why they actually kick him out, is the Frog, and not the sexual harassment. So they use and again using, like, they're basically using women. Who are victims of sexual harassment as a marketing. Yes, done as a PR stuff because not to mention it's the it's the biggest failing upwards check golden. Parachute Severance payment I've ever seen. I mean, six, we need a fell off hot list because I think Adam Neumann gives him a run for his mom. And then there was Donald Sterling in the NBA who abhorrent racist to own the LA Clippers. He was forced to sell and also got billions of dollars. So there you go. So does Tiffany Johnston get anything out of this? No, that's a good question. Does that is that in the report mad? Does it outline where that money is going to 60 million dollars? No, it doesn't know. No. The 16 million dollars is. The report is totally separate. The report was what they gave to the NFL, okay? The 60 million that goes to, that the NFL determines what happens with it. I'm sure some portion of it goes to charity to help women in battered women's shelters. So get for the pink and NFL helmets during. Yeah, they get one extra day, right? Yeah. Not the actual root cause of why it's but no. This this is This was in the running for asshole the week, but I was the four big stories of the week. Go ahead, place your vote and if you if your brother is in the room and he wants to vote too, go ahead, let him have. All right, let me round him up and we'll get a story from my brother. If he wants to weigh in Tesla board to return 735 million, BlackRock naming Saudi aramco, CEO to the board. Elizabeth Warren investigating Tesla over Twitter ties and then musk immediately subpoenaing. Elizabeth Warren, just for fun. And and NFL finds Dan Schneider 60 million over sexual harassment quote unquote. But actually The Hiding of money from the NFL after his six billion dollars saves the same day like mere seconds. After 6 billion dollar sales million, getting imagine that wiring transaction he calls up like Bank of America and he's like as soon as the six billion clears my account, can you wire 60 million of that the NFL or even worse? That can you wire point one percent of it? All right, what's your vote? My vote. Mine has to be the NFL because I don't think anybody's, I don't think anybody's talking about at the way that we are. People are gonna read the headlines and be like, oh, good, glad he's getting some repercussions, but he's not, he's not. I have one of my friends is a, is a fan of the team and he is just elated the guys gone. I mean, I don't I don't think he cares about all this. He just everybody hated him for decades should care, you should care. Well, that's that's how that's how that's like the enabling Factor here, right? Like even the fans are they're only happy their Joy is. He's not here. Yeah which is like not the point if I had to vote. I'm going to go with Tesla board or turning the 735 million. I want I'm voting that because not only later will the there be assholes involved in that. But it's also you have to credit it as being the largest Club back of director pay in history. Well that's as we covered yesterday. What board? We're looking at that made Southwest Airlines. There's like 15 members in aggregate. They only make one million dollars per year. So how do they even, how did these characters even managed to find 7 million to pay themselves? And in the disclosure of the clawback, the communications between Tesla board member Gervin and general counsel of Tesla? Gervin was complaining that he wasn't getting enough like they managed to pull back seven or 135 million. One of the guys was like I didn't get paid enough. Wait, how long do they have? Like, I'd imagine that they'd have used some of Money. Do they have a lot of it is options, so they break it. The club Act is actually a majority of it as options back, but some of the National Stock. Yeah, someone's cash. And is this, which means we're split. Let's see if my brother has a vote from the from the production booth. The vote is Tesla. Yeah, right. That is the correct answer. So, I was gonna go with that, but it's not just lose anything. It's just so the right answer the obvious right into the one, you didn't pick. Yeah, we're going with Tesla. Is the right thing. The NFL is the right. And you know why? This is a great, you know why? This is a great, big deal for our company too. Is because it covers like 37 people in our database. It's the best. So we had to figure out a way to like Mark them. We gotta give him the devil's sign on the, on their profile. Like I don't know. Is that anti-christian? Is that Pro Christian? So satanic. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. No, no. What we can do we can give him a pink ribbon. Well here comes from all of us. Week in honor of Ari's absence to I guess is doing more important things. We all contributed a good, Leah Story the week and then we'll quickly vote and get rid of this category. Yeah, mine was easy. I just picked miles Ryan. Satterwhite to the chubby seven-pound, 8 oz data, eight data prints. Why is 7 pounds eight ounces of considered chubby? That seems like a pretty good, you know. Very good weight. It's a good. It's a good way, but when you see the picture, yeah, he's got lots of cheeks. She also said, he hasn't lost a lot because he's feeding like crazy, he's only lost three hours with people who work up here in Maine. Maybe you can share those pictures with me. I Went to your wife. My wife didn't share them with me, though, she doesn't feel you. So just just to fill everyone in Ari, did have a baby. It did, he is healthy the day, Queen had her baby. She is healthy, the baby is healthy, and the baby's name is Myles. Ryan said, I'm just gonna call that good list the week. He was born, July, 18th, everybody, they go home today so everything's so see them today. So we're there any other empty house. Give up that plan. There are other goodly as listed here and I'm thinking to myself, aren't these lame? Like why are we doing them? Let's go to the other good list. Okay. Yeah, we're still skip them. That's it, miles are win. Miles gets the wind. Nothing else. Good health matters. Next week we'll play the category again which means is the week which is good because I'm gonna need the extra time to rant buildings here. Great God. All right. Number one asshole the week. So Public Square. Oh which we've now talked about a few times when you smack via backed itself if you just throwing chanting. And here is that line, USA chance breakout on Wall Street as anti woke company goes public. You USA led by Donald Trump Junior. I mean, he started the chanting, I, well, I mean, they make itself. They make it sound, like, it was like a, like eczema, like So they're all standing in the audience. Everyone starts chanting USA. And the take is here, that Wall Street loves the anti-walk. If you listen to it. It looks like everyone's chanting. In fact, they, they record Squawk on the street live during the open. And Jim Cramer is trying to talk about like, you know, fed rules and in the background, you just hear you say you say, but I do have a follow-up to the story. Yeah, number one, follow-up is The the stock is down, 12% as so. Wall Street does not love the answer NASDAQ much. Is this NASDAQ in New York, Stock Exchange? NASDAQ NASDAQ should be investigated and for being anti woke, right? Because the clearly is that they'll be happy when it falls lower than all birds 95%. It's got a long way to drop before it gets there. Um, but number two, the anti-woke hate democracy. Christian values, hate democracy, surprise here is the voting rights of Public Square upon the closing of the transaction. Michael Seifert, Public Square founder, and CEO will retain majority voting rights and continue to drive public squares Mission. I've never seen this version of dual class shares. I this, this drove me. This is why the an asshole. This drove me fucking crazy when I'm reading about how patriotic they are and the bad, the backbone of America. He tweeted out Corporate America and the ESG driven Capital markets, have ignored the voice of the people for far too long. This is, this is a tweet from Michael Seifert, ignored, the voice of the people far too long, Main Street needs representation on Wall Street. That's what we're doing. Ditch activist corporations. Let's build the parallel economy apparently. The parallel economy includes Class, C shares. Okay that are worth. This is a quote from the filing that are worth quote a number of votes. Equal to the number of Class A shares issued an outstanding at the time. Any votes taken, plus 100, he gave himself and he is the only holder of Class C shares. He gave himself one dude. 50.1% of the vote, no matter how many shares they put out, he just his shares. So it's not 10 to 1 voting rights, he gave himself literally all your voting rights plus 100. Every time that's like what children do in playgrounds like infinity plus 100. Like I guess he's saying, is he calling regular people Main Street? People calling them cheater, somebody calling them. Well, I'm just struck by the people. I'm just struck by the fact that he's tweeting about markets, have ignored, the voice of the people while giving himself will not like, oh well, that's been working, not the not the, he's talking about the regular people who won't own shares in his stock, I guess. Oh, that's it. Those are the people, the idiots. Okay. Why are you on his side? I don't know. I just love it. I just love that they're building a parallel economy while listing their shares on the New York Stock Exchange like that New York Stock Exchange. It even works. But does this mean we're gonna get access to data? Absolutely. Yeah, they'll fight all the data terrible. They are. It's honestly giving yourself all like writing in a filing all the class, they shares plus 100 is the biggest fucking I've never said, never seen that before. So, that's number one. Number two and this is like, you know, this is like The filler and a album filler asshole right now, it's climbing changes. Climate change is side, hustle. Okay, what's that here? The headlines on climate change. We've read all about the Heat and the stuff, right? But here's the other stuff. Tornado tears through Pfizer's. New North Carolina sight, threatening crucial drug supplies. Okay. Well, we We didn't take into account, forget the heat now, tornadoes are eating our drugs, drugs, like weight loss drugs because I don't know how crucial, apparently these were like probably like blockers that they use in hospitals for every surgery. In other words about shortages, it might be us investigating. Why Delta passengers were kept on a plane in extreme heat. Okay, Delta and its Infinite Wisdom took a plane pulled out sat on the tarmac for three hours with no air conditioner on in Las Vegas. Where the heat is 110 degrees, what are you doing in Las Vegas anyway? Oh maybe people were leaving Las Vegas so that's they were trying to get out there so I'm not sure that that's better but they were leaving I mean I keep looking at the heat in like Phoenix and Las Vegas and I keep wondering to myself. Why are people moving to deserts in the first place? Like what? Because it's cool at night. But where did you like planing that and public policy? Where have they allow these cities to become cities in the first place? Well, I love that the first settlers in the desert were like, let's stop here. There's no water. There's no vegetation. Well, there was a gambling. There was there a slot machines. There was it when they that's the side of a mountain somewhere? Just playing Blackjack. And they were like, there it is. Let's settle there. Here's another headline. Extreme weather caused Georgia to run out of peaches. Oh, I like the peach state. I can't eat them. Don't care. Imagine oh, why can't you eat them? Don't forget. Oh, get over here. Oh, are you? And I love Monster Millennials you. Well, it's like the juxtaposition of Delta passengers flying from Las Vegas to Georgia. Get on a plane sit on the tarmac for three hours. They were passing out. They had to bring the plane back and To refresh and then they finally get to Atlanta. And there's not a peach to be seen. Oh, they were flying things, right? Yeah. They were flying to Atlanta. Not a peach anywhere. And then finally, the final headline, here is Big Banks. Don't need to drop clients amid. Climate risk push Regulators say, was that, that means Regulators are telling the big banks that they don't need to stop taking on clients who suck for climate risk, like oil and gas companies. Regulators are then so climate change is side hustle. What none of these are these are just sort of like this is Evergreen asshole. The week though, this is a car and this is more like Jesse's category. That's why I said this is like filler materials. Like this whole, yeah, this is the buffer. Before I get to number three, oh the test number three asshole. The week is Tesla. Investors. Oh, not Tesla. Tesla, investors Trek. Are you tricked? Ya know because you already because you are because I preface is and it's all written in front of you in the production we're not reading along. Gotcha. Um, Tesla board returns 735 million in stock awards to end suit, overpay packages at 735 million actually goes back to Tesla itself The Entity because they built the shareholders out of it. It was a derivative suit. Here are some of the shareholders that are basically not entitled to that money, because it doesn't go back to them. But benefit from that money, Vanguard 6.6% of Tesla, BlackRock 3.6 ssga, State Street, 3.2 geode 1.6. There's a bunch of them effectively the top. It looks like the top 10 have about 20% of Tesla, all institutional shareholders, all massively for us. They all need to be using our data to vote better, because they're voting terribly, they should, and then they're mad about their own voting. Here's the data, this is why I'm so angry at Tesla investors, the average vote for these directors, During the period of the lawsuit, which is 2018 to 2022 was 80% Was the average vote. Now, that is incredibly low. Yes, that's actually, that's something right, terribly low? Yeah, except that 80% voted for them 80% still. That's my only real question. Like maybe you can make an argument others. Why do they keep voting? What background does he have? He's a Brooklyn cowboy background as he was born in the same uterus, I don't know. That's his background. Why is that is Tosca musk somewhere being like what the fuck why she's riding like soft core pornography or something? Yeah, wrong with it, but she's just as qualified to be in the board at this point. She came out of the same woman, so back black Vanguard, actually voted for every direction. Of course, which means the whole the largest shareholder outside of Elon Musk in Tesla voted for every single directed They think it's cool and they're going to benefit from this black rock voted four. Kimball the Lesser musk, they've voted for him. I don't understand got the green light every single time he comes up. Okay, so here's my rant. For 20 years, John, Chavez and Jim mcritchie. These people have been building up shareholder rights every single year, they're called gadflies. They're trying to make everything one share. One vote. They're trying to like make sure there's no special meetings that you know, that the company can call that you can't call they've been fighting so that you can hire the stewards of your capital and keep them accountable for decades at this point and somehow in 2023 when we're trying to sell free float, analytics data that shows the power and performance. Every director in the entire world, we have the data that they can use to make decisions about their stewards. What I got told by a number of people was Voting against directors is two aggressive. Aggressive, what is the point of a g? Why do we have a g in ESG? If you're not going to vote against directors, that's 98% of the vote. Why have the G? Why do governance looks like really voting against anything is to aggressive because what do they really vote against? They don't know. Yeah, they don't vote against, they don't vote for the Cheryl. They're proposals most of the time. If you're not going to vote against the director's and you're just going to wait to sue them after something terrible happens. Why bother just get rid of G have no shareholder, rights, and just resort to losses later. They should. They should Lobby to get rid of the whole voting process anyway because it sounds like you're worth it. It's a bird, it's non-binding in this country. Anyway, even the directors, when you vote them out don't have to listen to you. What is aggressive about voting, someone else that you hired to do a job and they did it badly and paid themselves too much and they don't have to listen to you. After you vote them out, not to mention, what is aggressive. I've never heard that and when in discussing democracies in general, I've never heard that by voting for one candidate. You're voting against the other candidates, how it works, just making a choice. The fact that we are going to be bombarded forever with headlines like this, why Tesla investors should care about Elon musk's multiplying Ventures, really? CNBC Like you know what? You can do about that, you can vote get investors. Don't have to like carefully monitor the situation of how many companies Elon Musk is the CEO of your, his boss vote, him out of the company that you can. That's it done. We're done. All right, so that's my rounds of the week assholes of the week include Public Square. USA chance at hating democracy. Climate change is side, hustle, and Tesla investors. What am I going first? Well, Damian seems like he's reading Tesla investors. Yes, that is the correct answer. I mean I I'm trying to make this interesting We can go to the production Booth where my brother's sitting waiting to give us a vote. You know, I I'll look I'll let Christopher have some say because just because I I like the way. I like how you called Michael Seifer? A permit dictator, I've never seen class. I've never seen voting shares like this. So I really for going just for pure asshole of the week, I think it's got to be the CEO of Public Square. Michael Seifert. All right. So Damien's at CEO Public Square Jessie's at Tesla investors, the vote goes to the booth. The booth says He's going. Yes, Square. that's it for us all the week, which leaves us with Everybody's sleepiest category. Believe me. Just see if you met Michael Seifert. You would think he's an asshole. I do. I do I do. I think you're right just pounding around with Donald Trump Junior. Right, I'm right. That's the way that's usually the way that works. Oh, do we have any any soccer women's soccer fans? We do? Yeah, okay I went to World Cup in US soccer. You did in France. It was what was wonderful experience of course in France. Yeah France. Okay, in order of FIFA, starting women. Okay. Here's the headline. Women's soccer players, were promised at least 30,000 dollars to play in this year's World Cup. Now, FIFA is backtracking on it. Oh, nicely done. I mean, Gianni Infantino is reneging on a commitment. He made in June to distribute a portion of the World Cup prize money, directly to players. We know why he's renewing like what this is. Such bad Optics. Like, what's the point? I don't think he had the authority to even make that claim, or that problem, that they can, they can scrape together. He said, it's up to the The individual teams. So like they get the money and then they give them out to the clubs and the clubs have to just so like I think they just yeah, he just went way over his authority and say that money by 2050. But here's, here's the thing, you know? It's not just 30,000. It's the fact that he promised that each player would have been paid according to how far they made it. So if you won those players could have made up to 270,000 Dollars which is so significant, considering the global average of what professional female soccer players make is anybody want to get gas? Global average, global average. I mean the US has got to be the highest because it's like might be the only one with the lead. Yeah. Because of the Equal Pay 25,000 dollars a year. Lower. That's a global average though, right? Okay. 14,000 14,000. Yes. Oh but wait still? What is the globalization? That's live. Audio of the women getting paid. Do you hear it? And so this as you can see, is like a huge step back for the gender closing. The gender pay Gap. It's just a slap in the face in general, they don't make enough money. They're probably bringing in way more money than that. And they're not gonna see any of it. I'm gonna do a little quick populist math for you. Jesse oh, I love populist. Battle Damien does some of the greatest I think. Amen. Actually should start handing out populist math degrees. It'll be in the back of a matchbook. Jesse, I will say this about FIFA president Gianni Infantino, was that, his his, the pay ratio CEO to Female soccer player Parish, there's actually better than the US CEO pay ratio, which is that that's about 399 to one. I think I'm not. Yeah I think yeah some of you know Gianni infantino's pay ratio is 279 to 1, his house 4 million dollars. So yeah, I mean how many teams are there with 32 teams? I don't know about that but I did two teams times 15 players, he could probably just pay them out of his own four million dollars. I did a quick Google search and the Women's World Cup gets more than 150 million in prize, money. Come on, you can pay these players What else? What else? All right. So then I had to throw in one a Connecticut related because who we are it's scary Connecticut police issued 26,000 fake traffic tickets that made them appear busier and racial. Wow. Well, it says did I did anyone have to pay those tickets or they just like, put them in the system so they're traditionally how they figure it out, right? Because they were supposed to be getting this income. Like, I'm so confused. How they thought they were gonna get. There was one officer that logged 1350. Fake tickets and a three-year period. How did you not think that that was gonna be found on it? Probably. But nobody's audit. Imagine him sitting a guy's desk being like works such a grind today. Gotta write out these tickets that nobody got and they make up the racial profile. So this is like what this is like the cops acting like anti-esg folk, right? Because they're intentionally skiing the ESG data in this right now but affirmative action and and it's equality. Now the Supreme Court is told us that we don't need any they didn't have to ask you this because It black people are treated the same as white people write, according to the Supreme Court. So not by the Connecticut police, I guess, I guess. But rest assured that the Connecticut State Police said in a press release that it's working to reduce discrepancies saying, it is deeply committed to ensuring the Integrity of Connecticut's racial profiling data and to maintaining public confidence in the essential Public Safety Services of our Troopers. So they're just, they're just worried about the data itself. The racial profiling data that don't worry about the place that they're offending. I like that the word about the data, that's funny. I like that they're that they basically said they're looking to reduce discrepancies. They didn't say, get rid of discrepancies, two, by the way, they just haven't imagined. They were like we issued 26,000 fake traffic tickets. Next year, we promised to only issue like 3,000 fake well, but just within that story they're really they have proof that they were doing it just to skew the racial profile that they just people. But the majority of these big tickets were white people know big white Asians too. Okay. That is crazy. I mean, that is the Jews. It was conduct an audit conducted by Yukon University of Connecticut data analysts does. I'm gonna say that's more distressing than exhausting, what else? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that. I just had to include it in Connecticut, newest. Okay. And this one's for you. Damien, Republicans want to shred Amtrak funding as a real one forever. Yeah, that is exhausting. You're right. Well, it that's why it's exhausting. Yeah. So they, you know, we are that we can't get from Portland to Hartford. I know. Well, they, they're the reason why we can't because they've been doing this for decades. I mean, and they've won. They've won this battle because they've, they've made Amtrak into a shity company that it is, but this won't just hold expansion. It's also the CEO of Amtrak Stephen Gardner said that it's gonna close down roots that they already have and it's going to radically reduce The meat it's going to reduce good repair work needed to reliably operate our Network. So that's the trains go. Flying off the track, they're gonna reduce the funding for that was just good. This is just in the oil Lobby is because yeah why do we hate them? Because it's the auto and Auto industry in the oil industry. Right? But has anybody ridden like the Northeast Corridor? Railroads, they're actually okay. And they're like you're right, it's fabulous. And when you go to Japan, it's Immaculate in wonderful. There's I would never you never want to travel any other way. So fast, what is the deal? The only problem is that they don't get enough funding to create like high speed quarter because like for instance the route from Portland to Boston it's longer on the train somehow because they have to share Freight tracks. Yeah. Like so Republicans. You definitely won this? Yeah, congratulations. Maybe we need the boring tunnel, we need the boring company to solve this problem. Only, there was a way we could get stuck in traffic underneath the city somewhere, you know, one lane Highway. All right, exhausting us to the week. Players promised 30,000 didn't get that Connecticut. Police issuing 26,000, fake traffic tickets and They, they did commit to reduce that number of fake traffic tickets. I like that Republicans want to shred Amtrak funding basically entirely. This one's easy for me. Go ahead. There's one. Clear exhausting thing. I thought that first but now I have another one. Yeah, go ahead. It's definitely women's soccer players promising that I mean this is like the continuation of the same thing. We see everywhere, the women get 80 cents. The male dollar, the 25 cents. I mean 25 cents the dog that's a male soccer players. Yeah, at least in America. It's women's soccer that has put soccer on the map. Yes, yes, exactly. No soccer here. This is exhausting because it is this keeps going as much as I'd like to think that fake traffic tickets is exhausting or even shredding Amtrak funding. Which to your point is basically a Three decade process women's soccer wins. Oh, I'll let Chris break the tie because I actually go. Amtrak on my boat only because, oh, you're going Amtrak because this this Plays into my other thing, I hate, which is glorifying car. Companies like Tesla, we are so fixated on automobiles. Like I don't know why we kiss Elon musk's butt so much for for inventing, a better car. Like we don't need more cars. No, wait, no, he didn't invent the car was invented like 1970, he's not even a founder of the of the company I found Tesla. He bought it from somebody else, so I am I this, you're right. Jesse. This does get me. Especially. So I'm gonna go because, all right, I would like to come to the Hartford office more often. I'd like to, I would come at least trying to get to The next so Chris he'll have Chris Brown. All right, we're going to the booth. The answer from Chris is women's soccer. There was only one answer. Damien. Fucked it up. I made it more, dramatic. How dare you? It was very dramatic. All right. That means there's so much drama. Come over. Well, That means one to Winners and predictions. I got a governor. Yeah, I gotta guess. My I should have just predicted that Jesse would write down. No winners or predictions. I would have gotten that one, right? That's part of it, but I have a winner. Oh, do your winner. It's very original. You know, Damien wants to do his If they're all the same, we're all. The same. Little blessing and it's already bar in a chair and blessing I have Damien. Who's your winner? I actually two winners, it's it's miles Ryan, Satterwhite, the little baby, the chubby baby and yeah, it's the McDonald's. Director miles white. Yeah, that is my winner miles white, the director, not the baby that just CEO, because I'm going to put up on social after this, the picture of the director and say congratulations to Ari for her recent acquisition, and in the sad or white Barona household, why she liked Miles, She was like subliminally. One of her most influence, I actually I'm a little concerned, she didn't think of it, and then we're going to talk about it a lot and then she's gonna be like, oh no. Now I only we've been at this so long man. That is the first thing I thought. When I saw that, I went right to our platform analytics.com, and I looked up Myles, white. I was like, oh my God, they just named their baby for the second, longest, tenure director at McDonald's. I know and the one who is like, he's the head of the Chicago Mafia. We talked about him many, many times predictions predictions. We really have the same prediction, Matt or Damien. What's your prediction you go? First, my predictions are already quits and maternity leave early. I mean, she's got to be back at least by Labor Day. I mean, she's not gonna she's she's not gonna last the whole leave and my prediction is that Ari quits her maternity leave early and comes back by National Ice Cream Sandwich day, which is a real day. It's August 2nd. I give her to me, you might be right, you might be right. If you can stand up, she's gonna be here and that's where you can go and get all of your board, director power and influence data, and the performance. That's where you can actually get the data to vote your Tesla directors, which I no longer like to say, I like saying BS, that was Chris in the booth. Thanks for being here. We'll be back next week with some more stuff until then good.
