Business Pants – 2022-05-20

Live. From the crust Ali Hilton, Gardens Inn Downtown Finland, it's yet another data Queen free edition of business pants. Friday, featuring all of the Queen's favorite people and Larkin. Matt, the overlord I'm moist and all the wrong places. It's our Friday show. Emma is not feeling well. Matt is really angry and I'm I just said not feeling. Well, it could be physical. No secret. Let's do it. Let's, let's just get to it. We're doing our Friday. Wrap up show. I cover story that we covers the good least the week. I'm feeling for Ari, Mac covers asked holiest of the week, which is gonna be good because he was like, stop, everything hurts really shot out of a cannon. and, Emma chiming in with the most irritating. A story that we could just get to it because you two both look like you don't want. Yeah, it's do it. Okay. Yes, timer's up go, Damien go first through the week. This is a ESG. Another corporate governance. JP Morgan investors and Jamie Diamond. A rare rebuke with this approach. I can't read that headline. I hate the way. That's right. JP Morgan shareholder said no. to to Jamie dimon CEO, but I look in the long run. Does it make a big difference? It's not even a binding vote. No, but it's still kind of cool. I think that all the shareholders at his own company were like, f your pay. That's the first story that we Number two, sorry to both of you sort of everybody, but all things must get still. I was thinking about it earlier instead of avoiding the topic, maybe we should just treat topics here. Like, you know, number one songs, like when I was a kid, I remember, Police. Every Breath You Take that was like number one for, like 14 weeks straight when I was a child. So why can't you Elon Musk be on my story that we ever? He's in the news constantly? So he's my second big story that weak and I'll focus on the ESG part of of musk in the news and that is that the S&P 500, ESG index had the audacity to drop test Tesla from his index and everyone's yelling and complaining about it and Matt. My life. Now, the third big story that we can forty. Is this the Buffalo mesh shooting racist attack in Buffalo, which happened to also be live streamed on Twitch. And there's a article in the times today. I believe about the enduring afterlife of a mass shootings live stream online. I think they're referring to the one in New Zealand, but these things just they can't get rid of them. They cannot scrape these, these things away, not only that. But there's also another story that this shooting this is not a Bloomberg that the shooter laid out the attack. Plans on another social media app called Discord for months. Supposedly so yeah, this is what's going on in your social media platforms, and the fourth, big story that week is one that Emma pulled today, That I just wanted to make a note of because it's just so kind of outrageous and crazy. To me, this is at a meta we don't talk about Facebook met a lot in the last few months but this one is about the woman's right to her own body essentially that's what I'll call it but meta is telling workers. They cannot discuss abortion at work in groups of more than five like-minded people and I opened up the article and this is This is real, like they're actually telling people that there's a limit to how much they can discuss things, well, abortion, I don't even really follow this. I, it's just so outlandish that I want to include it here in case anybody wanted to talk about it. So that's those are my four stories that week. That's already exists. This is I, I can't This is why I'm, like, I just this week. I felt angry all week. Yeah, I don't, unlike otherwise, yeah, it's about to say how's that different? This week was particularly cute though and you know what? It's not cute. The problem is it's all been about musk again. Well, you're making it all about monster, give you four things that weren't about us. But I want him to go away like I can't I mean I think the story of the week has to be dimash shoot a great. Um I really like I don't think there's another way around that. It's another mass shooting that was another one that was organized on social media in advance, and then live streamed on social media in advance and radicalized. Like, you don't forget and radicalized on social media. And, and it's a young white male with access to weapons, taking it out on a marginalized community of some kind again, right? In this case, black people grocery shop of all things, that's what it came down to, and yet, The air is just constantly sucked out of my life. By a billionaire Diaper Baby complaining all day long. You have billion? What are we complaining about you? Why are you complaining so much? You complain about everything we talked about this. It's just exactly. I don't know who I was talking to one of you, but he is now. Transformed himself. The world's richest man ostensibly. The world's most known famous CEO at this point. I mean, I think after Steve Jobs, I guess Zuckerberg, but whatever. He's, he's the richest man. The most, the most famous whatever he is. Now, converted himself into a victim. He's he's now a victim? Yes, against everything really, I mean, really, he's, his victimhood is spreading. Now it's like to admit. It's pretty impressive. How, how well he has dug himself into his victim whole like he is someone who is so victim opposite to what a victim actually is. And he somehow it's like, yeah, victim and did successfully. Yeah, you're right. And it's from the Trump Playbook. It's weird to see these men who assert this dominant or this pretend dominance and confidence also playing a victim car. Like it doesn't gel. Yeah. And here's the worst part. He laid out this week on Twitter. Like this is like 24 or 36 hours ago that he was gonna become. He's now Our Republican, he used to be a Democrat yadda, yadda, yadda. ESG is a scam and it's meme after meme about how Tesla gets knocked off and when when and no evidence, never any facts, never any data know nothing. He asked the SEC to investigate Twitter for the Bots, after calling them bastards and useless and terrible. And he lays out this thing that says, you know, basically I'm a conservative now, watch the political attacks began. Knowing 12 hours later, businesses inside, or breaks a story about how he sexually harassed a flight attendant on his private jet trip. He offered her a horse for a sexual massage and exposed himself to her knowing full well that that was coming. Their response was we have a response for this. It would have just we like we just needed more time and and he's laid out this. This. Oh, by the way, it's this is gonna be a political attack. I can't. I can't get over like the, the constant whining. Like they're like people who work at your plant who you made work during covid, like who you're forcing them in, you telling them, they cannot unionize. You got fined for it, you discriminate against them and you're whining. Maybe what? I need to swaddle Matt, I want to really maybe it's the sound machine and but maybe it's depressed that we're covering or maybe it's the business press and the ESG press in general like that, they They treat him. Well, they They don't take a stand. I don't know. They don't, they don't, they've taught us about that. Okay, this Behavior fetishizing? Yeah, we fetishize billion because the reality is, Jeff Bezos, was out tweeting this week at like, billionaires are like, very clearly, especially class were rules, do not apply to them and we absolutely defend. Of course we have, don't we have to realize the same time? I know you guys do realize, but I have to remind myself to all these things. Bloomberg, Business inside are all the time even you know, S&P Global msci, they're all businesses. So so they're they're whatever they're doing. Whether they're selling an ESG index or they're selling the news. It's all meant. Just to increase revenue on their end so they don't really care. Click the effect, right? So we're maybe we're asking them to care, but that's not really what they're there for this. This is, this is the problem, I think with corporations being beholden, just to shareholders and not to their stakeholders because it just creates this mess. I guess, I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to say, I think I threw out a regularly wasn't the story of the week and yet. Yeah. And yet, I mean, how much sucks at I get? But I hate it, but in our world and Emma, maybe I should, we should be blaming Emma here because when you go through our headline, yeah, and there is just a lot of musk in there, so she's tagging. Yeah, Emma. Yeah. You're both. You're both voting a story of the week as the, the live streamed mesh shooting in Buffalo. Oh that was yeah, concocted on on social media, played out on social. Media and created his brain on social media. So that's can you please make something good? Yes oh awesome. Okay moving on. I got three stories here. This is, I'm Channel. I'm, I'm kind of channeling Ari here. I forget our, She's Always A Bad Thing, me, I don't care about. All right, go to go, to Italy you dope. All right, here we go here. Good thing. I didn't call her a bald dope. Now. Listen, here are the three good list. Oh, Number one, US soccer, and top players agreed to guarantee equal pay. Okay, that's hard on that one, that's hard to crap on that. Although yeah, I won't say anything that had to be such a enduring struggle to get. There is still don't just enjoy it number two, I don't know. I just had to include this because I like it made me feel because it is something it is good somehow. It's all so terrible actually when you dig into it. But let's just start with the fun, high level high level. Here's a headline, Wingstop. Is seeing meaningful deflation in chicken wings. So the, the price of chicken wings. Last year was three dollars and 22 cents a pound. And today it's a dollar 63 a pound. So that's good for the challenge. I like Emma is completely done so I really tried to figure out a couple elements of this story. Yeah. Like one I understand that this comment is coming from WingStop. The Wingstop CEO but I can you, I guess you can just sell chicken wings on mass, but I'm thinking about like, what happens to the other parts of the chicken like, oh, thank you, thank you for mentioning that. Here's the part that blew my mind. This is how simple I am. I guess I just don't understand life enough. I'm just not that bright. Here's the reason Emma is because there's such a high demand for breast meat, right? Yeah. That all the companies are producing and this is I feel sick. Even thinking it like this, but this is what's true. They're producing more chickens. I mean, they're basically making more chickens. So, therefore, there's a lot of extra Wings Around I mean, really can you really really I want you to think about this like isn't it think I'm nuts that really is. I mean, they're creating more chickens because it's a high demand for breast meat and they cut the breast off. They put it in a chicken, they put it in a sandwich. But now you have two Wings there, what do with the wings? You like the problem, actually my undertone to this is to me. First of all, I love the absurdity of it. Oh, it's supplying to man in action. But is that the meat industry has already admitted that they fabricated the supply problem during covid? Yeah. Right we we had that story yesterday. And they fabricate that supply problem to increase the prices and maintain profitability because people go crazy and they buy a lot and now the prices are coming down my underlying reading of this is basically that like it's not deflation it's that this is where it should have been except if they didn't pump up the price during covid. That's basically how I read that to see how this is good anymore. Yeah, I know. It's really not good. I just, I, I want to wedge it. It's gonna Jason. You just want to talk about. I just felt like it seemed positive, like, you know, the price of something went down. I don't know. I just I liked it. The more I looked into I wanted to talk about it. I could see Ari chuckling, I can see Ari eating a lot of chicken wings for some reason so that's why I added it. No Chipotle third Chipotle, that's her thing. Chipotle the third good leader of the week. I don't know if you guys will agree on this one. I still think it's a pretty profound decision even though I'm sure you'll both crap on it. Mcdonnell's says it will sell its Russia and business. After previously pausing operations due to Ukraine worth. Oh there's just completely already crept on, I know, but yeah. Have already crapped on this. I think you crept on it less Emma, right? But I still think it's a pretty seismic, I think it's pretty amazing from. We're always talking about or maybe I'm always talking about just you stakeholders, stakeholders rule you know, running corporations that not just about the shareholder. Not just about the board about just about the management not just about the ownership, but about all the stakeholders. This seems to be a really a major story in that realm. I know it's a little complicated, I get it. But still, as a stakeholder win, it's just seems like a pretty profound moment that they're completely selling all of their operations and a very big country, but I don't know you guys. I know go ahead crap this this damage, super simple. Again, I think there's no yeah it's 100% soccer players. Well I agree with you soccer player. I don't know why you have a discussion in the conversation about the stakeholder. Win at McDonald's but fine fine I agree. Do you wanna holder is McDonald's? Fighting conversation is you inviting us? You had crapping all over this wouldn't we be thrilled if we lost all this disgusting fast food here in our I mean it hasn't isn't fast food almost directly tied to the increase in obesity. I mean, that in like all that weird. Good story. You did the other good story. You did is Wings. Stop a fast food chicken wings. Make you. They're so little, they, you know, how you make a chicken wing, you cover it in butter? That's hot sauce. That's it actually. All right. So the good list story that weak by far. Is that the US soccer? Yes. Guaranteeing equal pay first if its kind anywhere in the world. Yeah, something good. Coming out of America, you go. All right, that's it. The worst part about this is now it's my turn. Yep. All right. So I guess it's my turn and bracelet. I'm gonna move quickly because I can't take too much of this anger. I was just gonna come out. All right. There are three as holiest of the week this week. First up I'll see the timer going. I'm waiting for go. Bald is worse than the c word. That is correct a UK judge. A ruling. It was an employee harassment situation and which judge said the word bald is a sexual designation as in a designation associated with a gender and therefore you a worker was discriminated against when he was called a quote bald c word and no one cared about the sea word part of that. Because the person who was called a bold seaward, actually called the person who called them, that a bunch of c words, right? Like so they called each other, the Sea World. But the Bold part was the one that really got everyone going. And if you want in a while, There's a very smart lawyer behind this. She did an excellent job. She went through the case law, I read all the case law. I literally became a barrister this morning in your own head. She read all the case law and she realized while she's sitting in that courtroom or that tribunal that the presiding people were a bald judge and two bald tribunal members. That's right. Three bald men or two of which I can confirm or bald one. I read was bald somewhere but I haven't seen a picture of. So I'm going to say at least two bald men. All white men presiding over the world. I don't know if that's true. What one of them might be Jamaican we I we can't track down his identity. We the third one. We can't figure out. He's not Jamaican. Oh, he's worked with Jamaica because, no, that's not like a spike. Doesn't rub off that you just put on. So, the reason why this to me is as holy is to the week is for 10,000 years, we've discriminated against women, people of color, everything under the sun, that is not a white male. And now, white people have figured out how to subvert those discrimination laws to their own men to call white men. A Baldwin white man is now suddenly discriminated, against when someone when they're, when two people are yelling at each other, and they call each other. See words, we don't care. Number two, remember number two. Can I I just want to lose point on two things like about the story. One of the judge in this was named judge brain. He was and to the the Bears, the Bears there for. Yeah, for the plaintiffs her name is Miss church house. I love England, I love England. Every single person involved in this sounds like they came out of a Harry Potter. Yeah, it's really unique in that way. Number two, Asshole of the week is section 230. What Communications Act. Here's why? We have a buffalo shooting. That can get live streamed and twitch is not accountable for it. Well, yeah. And again, add that radicalized on social media and his play plans, laid out on Discord. All, you know I'm saying, like, you could, you could, no one is responsible know, because those are the platforms. They are protected, no one is responsible. I will say free float media. Our show yesterday was locked by YouTube. Why? Because they, they algorithmically tagged it as spam and deceptive practices. Now, I a filed the, you know, something to The Ether saying, like what we don't sell anything like yeah and wonder who he spamming. We have three viewers. We are like, people that come on. I don't I didn't understand any of it because the show is substantially the same as the 900. Other shows, we have on YouTube and yet we were locked out, but I can live stream killing black people. If I wanted to just this is pretty A sex trouble. Actually when you when you, when you make that kind of comparison. Yeah. So section 230 needs to go away. It needs to be dead. What else you go? It's it is the asshole protecting Mark, Zuckerberg, it protects all Twitter, Snapchat, every one of these fools. And then number three, I'm just gonna say Tesla Elon Musk and I'm not going to talk anymore about it, but at this point Tesla is the ultimate. Yes I yes that's what that yes it is. It's it's like this is the corporate greenwash, right? Because it is just because it's still a stupid car and don't get me started about how ridiculous car ownership is in this country. Like no, I'm sorry. But but to the roads and highways sucks, our families owned too many cars. So don't even get me going that. Ah you're right. It is the ultimate. I hit. This company is the ultimate Greenwich because just because you make a car that's better than that car. You can screw up everything else you can you can win again workers you can you can yeah on everything you can have your stupid brother on the board in a cowboy hat like Ridiculous. Thank you. We are arguing that because you make like a well-designed like an eco-efficient product that you can destroy anything else you want and that would be congratulations. And we should Elon Musk because where I live Tesla, has officially become the status symbol of assholes like everybody, literally hates people. Now, I don't know if this is the same, all parts of the country but now, it's like a direct indication that you're a big fat, a hole, not a ball, they holding it. I've been calling it. The Eco Hummer. Yes. Remember like yeah, that was like it. That was like the status symbol. So those are my three idea. What is worse than sea word section, 230 Tesla. The ultimate greenwash. I said this earlier today and I think I am going to stick by it because it is so crazy to me. But I'm going with the balding, I Oh, this is a tough one. I don't know, there's just something about fact that People who are qualified to make judicial decisions for a government regulated. Body of people decided that they thought that being a white bald man was something was a marginalized Community where you can use a protected, a protect, I actually call it a, like a protected individual. Can I just say that? I will say that these employees tribunals in the UK. There's, there's a three-person panel essentially, it's like it's arbitration. It gets a binding arbitration agreement. Only one is a judge and two are members from the community. We don't know if there's a decision, we don't know those parts of it, right? We don't maybe the judge that was nonsense but the other two people, I that part, I don't know. It doesn't make the doesn't make it any less annoying. I'm just saying it. I will say this, I would love to forward this around. I might put it on social media, just for fun. If you read the full decision, First of all, it's 43 Pages. It's a 43-page Turner like I was just going I loved it. It was fantastic because they're actually was a long discussion in there about. They called him an old bald c word and they they actually spent time to decide whether he was actually called an old bald c word or just a bald, it really does. And they eliminate old from the evidence so that they can't use that characteristics. Well, that's what they did. They had it they had in order to make the case that he's a protected characteristic because of sex they had to just the person they had to focus on one of them and the evidence suggested that old may not have been said they were not sure so they got rid of old and focused by bald. Yeah it was this awesome, right? The reality that we pointed out before and that the case in the case pointed out that women also bold and also struggled, yes, struggle with like thinning hair. And in fact, and they quote, they quoted as president, the case of a woman who was discriminated, a female like Trisha who's discriminated against when she came to work in. Someone said, hiya big tits, that that's what they said to her. I will say and They said it's the same that those two things are the same having known a few women who have struggled with thinning hair and in about baldness is what I like there's there's struggle might be worse than a man, struggle to go but only because men going bald. Is really not that out of its normalized. It's accepted. It's like yeah. Men go bald women and that's what happened. That's what throws me about our entire lives. Yeah yeah. That's what throws me about this one. Like because I like women's struggle greatly with this and and in fact yeah I think it is profoundly in the world. Can be bald their entire lives and have no problem, being billionaires Bezos and you are and Lloyd blank, fine. And you're probably, I think he's cheating his timer system. I think he just like he thinks that, oh, you're trying to vote in your your filibustering. Emma, Emma. I'm already voted. I guess I have to agree with you as much, because I gotta be honest with you, like my anger. is much more squarely in the Elon Camp because I think because of the disproportionate amount of power he yields, but, We do talk about him a lot. And this story is, especially appalling that there. And I think it's hard to believe from sex. Yeah, yeah. For the asshole is like, Categorization, I think that considering that the document reads like a particularly salacious Twitter thread that's sort of what put it over the top for me. In terms of it being the asshole is because I was like, wow, just reading tweet after tweet after tweet, but it's a court document which is crazy. Yeah. And to me the, the Mis understanding of why we needed to create sexual harassment Paul in the first place, like it's it's that's what bugging me is. Like they don't they don't tracing the history of why these why this legislation had to come about in the first place. So just like jumping on the bandwagon of that something that you yourself perpetrated and I don't get me going. Yeah, I'll just agree with you. Here we go. Go, I can't, I can't even, I can't even moving on. Oh, Amazon, Emma, Emma knows how to play this better than we do. Come on. I know I was the best one of my weaker. Yeah, because I know you not feeling, you know, not feeling. So I'm just, you know. Yeah. All right, here we go. Non-covid number one. This one is going to throw you for a bit of a loop. I think so irritating. It to the week. Number one, Starbucks is very unhappy about all the customers ordering drinks under the name Union strong. So this is not fit under my usual definition of irritating. It, but this is, I've decided that it's going to be a new take, because I'm in support of this irritation. It's Starbucks who's irritated? It's the Starbucks customers who are doing the irritating. However, it is such excellent trolling that I wanted to include it because I think that they deserve some praise, their irritating Behavior. This might be good as well. Why you're why? This is not oh I see what you're saying. You're I okay. Yeah, Starbucks is irritated irritated by their know but you're irritated by them being irritated. No, actually I just love how irritating their being but they are being here. I don't know how to worry about, let's all right. Number two, Meta. I took this one from Damien and I know that Damian already used this one, but I think it is much better under my Katarina. So I just Told employees that they can't discuss abortion. At work in groups of more than five people what? What the fuck? I'm sorry. Sorry for my language for my variable what to see what the fuck. They weren't to put a little bit more color on it. Um, they're not allowed to talk about it, over their internal messaging system so you can only talk about any abortion-related topics in person, but they can either discuss it with a single trusted colleague, in a private setting or a listening session with up to five like-minded people. Eliciting, way a listening session. Yes wait listen like-minded. Yeah, the whole thing is you can yeah, you have to, I guess, you have to be agreement on the issue if you're going to discuss. Do you have to like be like, hey Paul. What do you do? You do you? You're okay with abortion, right? All right, let's go into the room and now we can talk about it. Like you, do you have to do that first? It's what it would seem like. This is kind of just, hey, Emma, this is horrible. Yeah, I can't think of a more maddening. Like this is one of the most maddening moments in the history. For me with people that were getting closer to taking away, you know, women's rights in this way. Well, it is. It is Outlandishly horrifying that a woman. Can't go to work and discuss this with her colleagues. Like yeah. And what makes this is not like this is like a but this is like I I I'm like I'm a little lost for words. This is like a handmaid's tale times, a thousand like they can't even discuss it. And I think that the thing that really pushed it over the edge for me, in terms of it being labeled the irritating, IST is because this is coming from like Mr. Free Speech. You know, this is and Sheryl. Sandberg is one of the, the most vocal proponents so far of actually seeming to give a shit about this. So, I don't my notes on this story. In particular are exactly. That Zuckerberg is a Libertarian about speech speech on his platform, but you go work at his company. He's like, please don't discuss in groups of more than. Yeah. Which is a random number. And, and also, you better off, she's not there and their CEO Express like a bit of outrage about this. So it's not like, it's not like they've been quite and I and I Gave her a little bit of credit for that because we need to discuss our outrage over this. This is, this is Horrifying, I find this horrifying, right? Because, look, I've, I've had a job before, I know, now, like, you would think so, but your employable, a lot of the people who go to these jobs. Like, this is really a these, that your work colleagues. Especially for people who don't have families, they're an important part of their lives. Like a lot of people, they're so Community. They're social networks start and and at work and I'm not, I'm not crapping on that, that's totally fine. But, but to, to say, you can't talk to these, it's horrifying. This is horrifying or fine. All right, I think that was gonna win. Oh, I don't plan next. So I'm so angry. This is I'm so I'm just pissed. All right. And number three, why Tim Cook says College grads should prioritize personal value in their careers leading, a company. And a good life are not the same thing, so what? Let me counter this for a second, how to do your Tim Cook, didn't you? Crossing his own head to cook, didn't you? Come on? Okay, the reason that this is the third one is because let's I'll put myself in the shoes of someone that he's talking to right now. I I'm a college grad of now two years ago, but I'm I'm thinking about prioritizing my values, right? I want to work for a company that supports women doesn't use slave. Labor doesn't Foster an abusive work environment makes effort to mitigate climate change donate to politicians that align with their company values. I can't, I can't it's not possible. And if I wanted to work for Apple like three of those things would automatically be off the list. It is you work for free flow? This is the closest I can get. And we're just so preachy. It's so annoying. It's so hypocritical. Shut up Tim. Maybe this is just me. And the only one who finds his irritating, but I think it's, I love it. Yes, you are. I love it. Emma. I like your ears. I love that. You still do carry this torch again, Tim Cook. I don't again like Not gonna, you know what, I'm not gonna disagree with you. But to me, it's like the way, the reason why I make fun of this is because it's all relative like compared to the to the other monsters in this space in corporate, the corporate world. I, I just, I can't Target. Yeah, but I'm with you. I'm not gonna disagree with, you know. I'm not wait when you juxtapose when the story follows a Mark Zuckerberg story, it's true. You awkwardly. Emma. Yeah, it's impossible for you to get behind. I understand. Not only because I understand when you say apple and, and Facebook or Zuckerberg in the same kind of breadth or same like bucket. I think Apple's the one who's undermining Zuckerberg, it cost him 14 billion dollars this business. I love it. Like a political choice. I don't care if it's in anything Choice. It's the only the only company to slow Facebook down. So far has been Apple, that to me, is fantastic, I think so. I, I don't know, this is an easy vote for me, some of the thing I don't understand what is that. Quote, me leading a company in a good life are not saying, don't make a ton of sense. Billionaire, why I have to admit, it's just whining because the version of his article. I saw I actually appreciated because you know, prioritizing your personal value is Should be important, you know? So you don't end up like, working for idiots, like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg or but then I but gaming almost. Yeah, exactly. But then, I don't know what he's talking about. Leading a company in a good anyway. Okay, go ahead. Oh, I think we're ready to go. I think it's clearly an obvious one. I, yeah, it's, it's, it's Zuckerberg saying, don't talk to each other? Yeah, yeah, no, no, don't be Zuckerberg. Yeah. But don't talk about what? No. Don't leave about the abortion. Yeah, don't do not talk about. Do not. I mean, why don't you just say hey Zuck? Why don't you just say don't have a opinions about female, you know, Health rights. Just just say that. What is he making? More fruit of yourself. What isn't even? Make it even more pointing. So that women can't talk about abortion. How about that? Yeah. Just I mean, pick that. Yeah, just like them. Oh bald. White men can talk about. This is really, I don't think I'm ever gonna get over. This was audacious like it's just a audacious. Agreed. Sorry bolt. My favorite part about this show. Is that it's over and I'm angry. All right. Yeah, let's wrap this up. Anyone who won the week, anyone? Oh wait, I bald men won the week. Oh, you kind of stole, is there a way to say bald? Men didn't win the weak stole, my joke there. I actually had the same thing. I, well, first, I had the wind going to re because she abandoned us and ended up and Italy and Greece, which just seems like a win. Though, now that I'm reading about like, how Italy and green, I'm reading about like how air travels back to pre-pandemic levels and there's there's monkey pox all over. I'm thinking, like I'm actually fine staying right here in Maine, but that's just me. Yeah, watch for the next box people. The next plague is coming. So, my first winner was already. My second was bald, man. Yeah, they finally a win for ball. Fine. At long last bald men can become billionaires and winners. Oh, you gotta win here? Yeah, chicken breasts. Didn't know, they were such hot Commodities. Good for that. Why did it? Why did the chicken breasts win? Like, is it a win to be? Is that, is that part of the chicken? I didn't. They get, I, I not as expensive as they're not winning, if you literally are alive only to provide your breasts for someone to eat that does seem like right training and weird way. Yeah, a few Chick-fil-A predictions. Anyone predictions? I have. Yeah, I predict that. Yeah, billionaires are going to be considered a protect actually of individual, Matt. We soon. There's been, you know, there have been billionaires that have actually complained about this. I mean, they actually have made the complaint that billionaires are picked on, right? Leon cooperman. Yeah, but others. Others have have suggested Superman. Yeah. All I think there's a, there is an unfairly targeted when they get together at Davos and they all sit around and talk to each other. I think they, they feel agree, new victim, and they feel victimized. I think they feel unfairly picked on. And I think that like they're going to make moves to make themselves a protected class even though literally by definition, they're a protected class. Like they get away with everything that they want to get away more and they never have to work again and you either do their families or anybody they want, they could single-handedly, stop climate change, solve world, hunger, like, and yet their fucking complaining. So there are protected class. I got two predictions. Both of them. Equally genius. Number one, it'll be. It will be revealed. It will be revealed that Twitter is responsible for the leak of the musket story. That would be great. Oh, I like that. That'd be great. I think this is prague's play. I think that I don't think he wants Elon Musk to buy the company. I think a lot of other people who are also don't want that, and I think that they're all so trying to subvert the deal and ways that, you know, like just like Elon is doing my second prediction. A cure you stay with me on this one. A cure for male baldness is deemed to be a form of sexual harassment because it implies that bald men need fixing in the first place, right? Wow, you with me? Great, why should we be fixing something? You know, you're with me here, you understand? I love logic. Not only am I with you, I did. Is it wrong that I immediately went into the metaverse and thought will avatars in the metaverse if they cost less when they're bald be harassed, that's just another form. Yeah, wow, a bald man. And real life, having hair in the middle verse is a form of harassment because you the implication is that there's something wrong with how hair, right? You just blew my mind, anything, how many predictions am? I don't know if you can top that. I take my picture lunch. My lunch. Is that a woman is going to go. To court again in the UK. It's in order to claim that men talking to her period when a man talks her at work. That is sexual harassment. And I actually am not predicting this because it's just going to be true. And it's going to be me. It's me, I'm doing it. Wait, wait. Wow. And UK against using that she herself is going to the UK to sue men for talking. Like I don't like the way that sounds. I feel, I don't know that seems like a prediction under her control. So I'm gonna say that. That is the most likely one day. Yes. When you go into the UK, I'd like to go tomorrow. Tomorrow, yeah, sorry. Short. Before we wrap up Emma, what do you eat for lunch? Are you, what is your typical lunch sandwich? You don't want to reveal it. If I had it so my way it would be a smoothie. Leftovers. We had it your way. Whose way is it? Somebody else sad. Oh, you're blenders broke. Oh, I see. You know offense. But I stereotype you with someone who goes out to buy their smoothies, I do. I do that too. Okay. So not a sandwich person. No sandwich person. Wait, what basis? Did you make that assumption? Because that I hear me right now. This is With that, I'm gonna stop talking to Emma. That was business pants for the resistance. Friday Roundup business pants Friday. Goodbye,
