First one axie, Infinity. Players can earn real money by playing the game hugely popular in the Philippines. I like the Philippines.

I don't know what I do with a funky jungle gym in a face and decentral land company is like Southern bees and Samsung are building virtual replicas of their real life headquarters and stores while some smaller mini games and quests exists. They're often glitchy. I went to the Samsung store in decentraland. You did. Yeah. Turns out. It's his boring as the Samsung store in the real life. Roblox the season gaming platform, enables people to interact, build and play together, the central ownership and commercialization has led to the exploitation of creators, many of whom are certainly starting a little young, Oh, I'm only going to Roblox if I get an invite to one of those sex parties in Roblox, the sandbox featuring the recreation of Snoop Dogg's mansion and Partnerships with the Smurfs the Care Bears and The Walking Dead cross marketing baby.

I've done with terrible. Yeah. That was the best game you've ever made up. All right. Can we get out of there? Thank you. Yeah, we can move on. Move on back to our nuggets. Oh! Let's go to our stakeholders rule category. We have two stick holders little headlines first in our There are two Staten Island Amazon warehouses. So it's the dirty Circle of Life. Staten Island, used to be known for its 2200 acre fresh kills landfill. Now it's known for Distributing the trash that will eventually end up in a new landfill along the week. I like that. Oh, I try, I did a lot of wordsmithing with that one. I couldn't get it anywhere. I liked it. Here's the headline Amazon workers. Begin boating, on Union. Another Staten Island facility. I like the idea that Ireland is the circular economy. They the first thing you used to House the trash for those of us who lived in the New York City in the, in the in the Arts. Yeah, it was the dump. Yeah. But now they're yeah. They're now they're creating the field that goes in the landfill, I guess. Well now they're important. The Future Track into the warehouse where they send out the future trash before it comes back to them. I wish I would rename the products like Phil. Like future Warehouse is future trash bill done. All right and in our oh in our populace math time headline of the week Goldman Sachs scraps free lunch marking and of pandemic office perk. All right. Oh okay. So it's Its populace math time. All right. This is a lot of games today. So Goldman Sachs is scrapping, its free lunch, right? So I did the math for everybody. Feel free to dial that down a little lower. If you it's a little loud, all right. Go massage getting rid of his lunch perks so I can salted the website. The infatuation.com, and it's very heavy piece called the best places to eat in the financial district. So I picked the restaurant called Zillow. What? It's, it's one of the hands down. Best Italian sandwich shops in Manhattan. Oh, sandwiches the sandwiches are simple. But man with extremely high quality ingredients, they're all so huge. So I bought I bought a Milano. Up for 5090 features. Salamis smoked mozzarella, artichoke roasted Peppers, I got a Canada Dry, Ginger Ale for 175. I got Joe's. Barbecue chips for 290 total with tax and fees, 23 dollars, and 36 Cents. So let's be extra generous and round up to 25 dollars. Let's do the populist math Goldman Sachs is 43,900 global employees 52% from the Americas, that's 22,828 American employees. Let's figure about four weeks vacation, which seems a little bit low, but whatever, that's five days a week. That's 240 days of lunch Matt. So that's 22,828 times 240 days times. 25 dollars that equals 136 million dollars. 100 let's say 137 million dollars rounding up. But Matt, where are we going to find 137 million dollars? Well, this year from home. I'll tell you where they're gonna find 137 million dollars to keep this free lunch in place, the top five Goldman Sachs NEOS including DJ diesel earned an extra 155 million dollars in 2021. That's right there. They collectively got 155 million dollars more in 2021 than 2020. That's not their total that just the more the excess they got. So we did it. We found it already and we have 18 million dollars left over. So we keep the free lunch, they get chips, they can still have their, their extreme salaries from last year with an act 18 million dollars, a little extra. I did it. I want, I do have to insist that we discuss team dollar and ninety cents, which is Elon Musk planning a, like a hostile takeover of pasillos. Because that's quite the sandwich. Well, let's wrap up the show we have by that sandwich. Can you believe? This is what I do all morning. I don't know. This is the best analysis I've ever heard. In my life.

My name is Jake. Welcome to my snotty covid. Honda Russian Roulette four wheel drive headline of the week, Uber and Lyft and mask requirements for Riders and drivers. But I don't why why all I'm gonna say is the reason why I'm like like throwing in the towel today early is because like 95 people at my kids preschool got covid simultaneously.

CNN plus streaming service will shut down weeks after its start. Actually this is the smartest thing you've ever said because I don't know why people don't listen to this show. Like we got this because probably because we put zero money in the marketing and we don't know. And knows we exist but the fact is we have been bringing All of the news that you would get on CNN Plus for free, for two straight years, we're still running. We're still doing this. Why? I don't know why you need CNN. Plus, you just need business, one last Twitter update.
