It's the only ESG adjacent game, show ever made. Business pants. Thursday. That's a convoluted copyrighting right there. Yeah, it's almost like somebody didn't read their own writing before they started featuring BS man. Matt mascardi and Jesse the money Whisperer. Whoo. Yeah. We're doing a game show. What is the game show? Oh, do we have anything to plug for maybe early next week? We do look, let's play. Can we just briefly plug, Jesse, Jesse plug your your new social media Adventure.

Well, can I just say Your Enthusiasm is bowling me over last week. It was, it was better. I don't know what happens. Literally like go to Instagram, sign up and watch. I wasn't prepared. Why isn't on LinkedIn myself? Put it on our LinkedIn. I I will, I wanted to write the blogs before I accompanied it when I put LinkedIn and what do you buying this way? What is baby cribs? Because we're honoring Ari, the data Queen because she has her baby shower this weekend. Gave her a crib. You actually giving her a crib know generous, I'm not old crib. It was missing a part two. She is using your old crib, but I was like, I had baby products on the mind and a crib is one of those things that most people spend a lot of time and money thinking about getting so I wanted to evaluate and it just so happened. And I found some really juicy stuff on what my favorite brand is. I didn't know they were publicly owned. I thought they were privately held minding their own business in Norway. Just making cute sustainable stuff, they're not. No, no. Oh, they're not. That is a better. That's a more lively introduction to the series. But what I was thinking that we were selling, was bored saber metrics like the giant platform that we've been building for two years? Well this is it comes out compliment Monday because it teaches people how I how we use it because I used I directly used the date and I'm teaching people like, okay, when I am looking to find this, this is what I look for in our data. Look how look how nice that is. So there we go. That's why the series started Damian's volume. Just turned off. What just happened? You just muted yourself. We use the controversies batting average in the platform. Last week to learn some stuff about Procter, Gamble, director's, didn't we? Yeah, that's amazing work by both of you. All right, now, since You're so you're both so riveting and boring at the same time. Let's do, what are we doing a game show? We're doing a, the world's stupidest. But best fill in the blank. ESG news quiz, come on. This week, I'm just replacing the name of the company with the word blank and you guys are going to guess what the company is and then maybe we'll talk about. Are you ready for this? I'm obviously going to lose but I don't know what's going on. I was too busy. That's in response to Jesse losing. Let's start off with the boring one. Oh good, the boring company soon to hit our platform. Okay. Here's the here's the prompt blank. Prices IPO at 22 dollars per share above stated range. Here's new company IPO and soon to hit her left Forum. What's the company? Blank, what notes just so, you know, all the IPOs you're a big stock market, no idea what ipoa. I'm trying to look around for things like look at things and be like that. Yeah no for your clothes it is four letters. Does end in? Ah oh Well, now you just gave him a huge hint. Nobody Knows the answer to this. I don't know the answer to this. I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say the EPA. Letters. Yeah it's kava kava founded in to get that I found in 2006 opened its first location 2011. Now operates more than 260 restaurants I never heard of kava. Do you have one Connecticut know there's one in Boston. How was this in ESG? Bonus question, I'm getting to it bonus question pre-ipo. Okay. How many female directors and it's 17 years of operation did kava need to screw in a lightbulb and in its hummus refrigerator oh that's dominating zero. It didn't need any female directors, Jesse. Four. I'm gonna give this one to Max. Yeah, the answer is one just one that was just one but, you know, it's okay because Jesse is, you know, women don't go to restaurants, they don't, they don't make the decisions about spending in their families. They don't even like hummus. 17 years of operation. One one sad lady, Karen cocoa. She must have been so lonely, how much would just like she had Just like the most IPO and companies, they are now adding another woman because that's what they do. You find somebody else they found another one now. All right. Moving on. Okay. Blank, CEO. This is the CEO of what company blank, CEO pay sores, despite not good enough verdict. That's the headline. Again, you're not gonna guess this. Exxon Mobil know. They would be good enough. They gave their lots to share BuyBacks. It's gonna be somebody like Let's see, not good enough. It's gonna be like Walmart or something like that. Something like mediocre performer of this past year. I'm gonna give you both a loss on that one again. This is an impossible quiz which is why I like it. It's a Vodafone boss. That was not even relevant. Yes was voted. And the only reason why I picked this story is because the, the writer said that Nick Reed trousered precisely five million dollars because it's a British writer. He trousers the money. I just trousers, I just like that. So here's what happened. And here's the other reason why I picked this company is because, hey, it showcases our data because Nick Reed stepped down from Vodafone. One of the reasons may be Matt is because he had a 500 earnings batting average in yet a 351 TSR batting average so nicely done. Can't get you. Yeah, wasn't coming through for shareholders and this is a glass Cliff alert because Margarita De La Valle. Took over for the company. At the end of April after Nick Reed abruptly left. So again, shit, show we got a glass. Cliff, there's a chance. She's gone by October like that. You heard it here first? Moving on. America's new best-selling beer blank. Is also an lgbtq Champion so which is the beer company that overtook. But he know this, anybody know this I thought it was Course, yeah. Molson Coors would have. It's not, it's not most important. I'll tell you to beer made by marketed by the Mexican company. Yes. Yeah. It's the one that makes like Medela. And yes, it's exactly. Yes, Modelo. Especial, Especial. Yes, nice done, America. Yeah, thank you, America. So the border to Mexico's and right. This is called Warriors, right? We don't want them in the country, but we like their beer. We don't like our beer anymore, but there are also lgbtq plus, we don't have any thoughts, there's no where to turn. There's no, where do you stop drinking beer? That could be helpful for us. Wow, wow. That would be like this is woke up. There could be some clarity that they all just turned a whiskey. I'll get way worse. So Coors Light also, up Miller Lite. Also, up, you guys talked about that. So here's the Here's the takeaway from this article. From who cares? Where it's from The takeaway is but if anti-lgbtq activists think they were successful in making their point, they may be sorry to learn constellation brands has shown its support for lgbtq rights. Even more than a one. That's yeah. And so has Molson Coors the maker of Coors Light. So look, yeah. Let the fact is Molson Coors hasn't had the same problems. Bud, Light has, and the only places that have had the biggest problems are the ones that support trans rights. That's a step too far. That is when we crossed the barrier like, because it Target it was the bathing suit with the tuck and at Bud Light, it was one can given to a trans person that was it. That was so Pride Flags to its pride flag but those are like seems to be like the Lesser offense, that's the kind of like I won't boycott you forever. I'm just, I'm just gonna yell at you at a Twitter, like, Cracker Barrel. Hasn't sunken of the ocean and we haven't heard that like Chick-fil-A it, you know that boycott does not seem to well taste taking up space, right? So he's sandwiches there but but light seems to have stayed stuck with it because of the trans thing and it was the fourth biggest issue facing GOP voters. According to last pull really trade. What if we did a trade, Matt? What if lgbtq what if they traded the T to the NAACP? They can give and ability CP has too many A's. They give an a over to lgbtq right. Maybe we can like, work something out. I think they get rid of the T. I think we're fine, right? Yeah. Then it's just LGB. Hey you. Ah, yeah. That would be way better. I think we worked it out. There you go. Next one. The CEO at blank credits, corporate do. Good tourism for the company's turnaround. quickly saying that efforts to reduce carbon and build diversity of help this bottom line, which companies CEO saying this other woke company. I give you. Yeah, go ahead. I got this. I was going to say Target. Oh, he did say well he already did that a few weeks ago that was right. Brian Cornell said that at Target. It's on Ah, you got the right first letter. This one's for you. Jesse do you know who Josh Silverman is Jesse? It's familiar, but I can't place them. He is the CEO at Etsy. Oh, you both wrong? I mean, Etsy is kind of like an obvious. They were, I love you to say that. Let me tell you what our data says about Josh Silverman, he's a Hall of Famer. I'm kind of surprised you as male, to be honest. Yeah, batting batting 782 overall with a 948 averaging carbons. So, our data reflects what Josh Shipman say? You know what, though they do? Carbon offsets does that? Is that factored in? No. I mean they're not a higher mitter. Like anytime you check out, you can there's like a box and it's like offset your carpet. But that's you offset setting, but the company may be doing something else to reduce carbon anyway. Good for Etsy for saying the obvious about itself. Next one, in our horrible quiz for June 15th, 2023 blank. Ordered to pay 25 million dollars, to ex manager, who claimed she was fired because she was white. Oh, Starbucks Starbucks is correct. Oh, you both saw this one? I don't really want to talk about this. I don't know. Even if I want to talk about this story. Oh, I mean look, I read the actual complaint, I don't. Yeah, I did too. I just thought it was not entertaining know. It was. That's why it was. I mean I don't understand the ruling at all. I like it just seems like a lot of circumstantial stuff and it's gonna get appealed and get it'll get appealed down 25 million dollars. Yeah, it does sound like, she should not have been fired. I sure from the complaint, right. But the amount of money seems large although that said they were telling her to do with thing, the thing was not against the law that they were telling her to do. And she did not like it. So she said she wouldn't do it. Like they were. So, I don't know, like, if you're a company. What grounds like if I wanted to fire Jesse right now, like go ahead. Okay, like if I had some grounds, right, that makes it easier, right? Yeah. So you're fired. What are the ground coffee? Grounds have fun playing a game with one can show first. I overruled, we're keeping Jesse, I'll find so she's working part of our company. Well, fire in 10 minutes. All right, up, next, anyone, you got anything to say about that? Jesse you you knew the answer you, I just saw the headline, I don't read into it. I did. I mean the number was shocking to me. I was like there's seems like to be a mismatch here. But what's really shocking is that Business Insider rounded Yeah, rounded the number 25.6 million down to 25. That's how that's just wrong. Makes it worse. Yeah, that's third grade rounding. Inside up next blank. This is a good one. Blank complains to FCC that listing all of its monthly fees is too hard. Live Nation, Live Nation, actually has agreed through negotiations with President, Biden two revealed their fees. So that I'm going to give you close but they actually agreed to reveal his, who is saying that they, they can't do it. It's too much, and they have actually filed something that the filing is public. Saying that Master. That's that's who owns Live Nation. Owns Ticketmaster, right? The answer is calm. Comcast Comcast completes the FCC that listing all of its monthly fees is too hard. It's complicated. Keeping track of what we charge everybody for. That's random. Like, it's hard. That's hard to do. We still we managed to do it to get the money, but it's really hard to say it when you ask me for it, you know how your bill goes up like 15 dollars, twenty dollars every year and you don't know why? It's hard, they made up things, it's hard. They said, two aspects of the commission's order. Imposed significant administrative burdens and unnecessary complexity, and complying with the Broadband label requirements. So they that's in a filing their, they can't handle here. You know what else is difficult and hard? Matt. Well, Jesse The voting stock at Comcast? Yeah, that's hard. Because they are so old company. Two shares of voting stock over their Comcast Class, A Class B Class. B, of course, is owned 100% by its CEO and chair. Brian Roberts who just happened to be the son of the of the company's founder being smart, like it's Here's how the votes work. The class A votes, that's for the regular Schmucks. Like you Jesse You're entitled to point, zero, six, seven, nine, seven votes per share. I love the backwards and Brian is entitled to 15 votes per share. That's nice. Easy number Wow. Also, the female power Gap at Comcast is pretty significant 30% women, but is the body count only six percent influence. I mean, that's fine. Yeah, it's still class. That's what it's fine, just because women don't really watch TV, right? So it doesn't really matter. They either watch TV. No, he's the internet. They don't use hummus or the internet. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's get out of here. I got some bonus questions around this area, right? Thank god. Oh yeah, at the end of this quiz, these are just simple. Simple answers here. GrubHub fires delivery driver accused of stealing a customer's blank off her front porch. What are the GrubHub delivery drivers steal? I feel like I actually saw this and it was something like very bizarre. Her milk. It was yeah. I'm gonna say her profile flag. I don't know how to give that to give it to Jesse because the answer is a kitten in cartoons. Kittens drink milk and realize they don't Stole a kitten? Yes. But they put the driver was fired. I don't think that they need to add that to their vetting process. I GrubHub. Are you a kitten stealer? Oh yeah. Have you ever stolen someone's pet in the course of business? Next bonus question. Twitter co-founder, Evan Williams says, Elon musk's purchase of the company made him blank. Furious. Jesse absolutely dead on it. Made him sad. You see that? Oh, Bonus question. Number three this is a company. We used to talk about crushing the bonus question. What happened? During the regular quiz? I don't like. You don't actually have to know anything for these. I'm just yeah, I give you a point for saying whatever. We used to talk about this company a lot. Matt high-tech Pizza Company, Zoom, that raised about 500 million dollars. Saying it could cook a pizza in transit right in the delivery car. This is a day is blank, Easy, Bake Oven, he's bankrupt. I'll just go ahead and give Matt. Yeah, they what they their business model they got 500 million dollars, most of which they got 500 million dollars Bank, we can't get five dollars and they got all this money from SoftBank to put. They had a truck where someone would be driving and someone in the back would be baking a pizza. So probably arrived. It would be hot, and it turns out that driving and making pizza at the same time, it's not only stupid and messy. It's super dangerous because you cannot stand up next to a heated oven, while moving in a vehicle. Like, I mean, what, you know, those guys in the back of that van were high, right? I mean they must be wasted. So confused, like how what was the pitch that they gave to? Five scale ability. Yeah we're gonna throw we're gonna Blitz scale our way through the California Market by giving the freshest Pizza in the freshest way man.
