Oh look, our reasons chair. Yeah, I'm back live from Disney plus studios in East Florida. Texas, it's a Thursday quiz show Thursday here at business pants. Are you you've joined a quiz you scared? Should you be scared? No, I'm excited. Joined as always by Emma quizmaster lurking and Matt data queen mascardi. I'm the guy I'm the guy today. You are Welcome Ari. It's nice. It's nice to see my playing against you today. You are, do we have some gonna do you want to should we have a wager? What's the wager? We never, okay. Always Well let's plan on fulfilling it this time. Emily ideas. What does the winner get? I always. I mean Matt is seeping into my brain right now because Matt's idea is always a piece of yourself. No, Matt, crop tops constantly, but I feel away from merch as a prize because I was born. How about some coffee? Oh me, a coffee when this. Okay, how do I do that? Oh, like like venmo. Yeah, you venmo Ari for Friday, coffee. Okay, or you order it from Starbucks, and it hasn't even order it for me, and I'll pick it up. That's all I like that. Second idea. Or you have you only go to Starbucks? Do you actually or do you actually go to a normal store? Do you only gonna Starbucks? I don't go anywhere. You don't go anywhere but I will go wherever you want to. I think there's a place in Hartford called I've been there. Rebel dog. Yeah. Okay excellent. A lot of that will trip with my commute but that's totally well you for baking company instead. Okay, all right, all right, and today we've decided I'm winning. Today's banana and crusted balloon of ESG shaped nuggets called June 23rd 2022. A big fat fun quiz from the ever lovable. I'm a lurking except a little less lovable with that ratty, Alabama sweatshirt. You can be upset about my Alabama sweatshirt, all you want. I'm just never gonna stop wearing it. It is my favorite. So is, do you want to reveal? Why is there a secret? Is it like a bet like a bestie, gave it to you? Like, what's going on? This was my mom's sweatshirt that she was gifted by someone else. Okay. That's a boring story. I liked it. But like my friend, a friend from college. If you can't see the back, but she free handed a drying on the back. So there's like a big And drawing on the back of this sweatshirt too, which is also why I love it. I was kind of hoping for like a girlfriend or boyfriend who like after breaking up with you on their way to moving to Portugal like left. You with this Alabama, something romantic. I returned. I he wouldn't have it if it was. Yeah. No. No. You don't know, I don't know. I'm too like, this is that person? Yeah, you're gonna draw a line, straight down. I returned a sweatshirt. I think I left it on his doorstep, a box. That aside. Anyway, that's not what the people are here for. They're here for quiz time, they are. Yeah, I was just listening to The great Matt mascardi is on another podcast this week, the sustainability story from the from. Is it out? Is it so you can get it out? You can get anywhere. It's, I think that the CFA, puts it out, my very own at mascardi is on there. And I gotta tell you, the parts that I found most wonderful was when the two of them, just sort of talked to each other, like human beings. That's So Stories. Living in the village. I like that part. I know that's always the part. You like we should link it on LinkedIn. Somebody absolutely do that. She's talking to you Emma. Yeah, that's a job for sure. I just got a signed a job and that's completely correct. Okay, we're done with this. Now we're heading into it. Are we ready? Yeah. No, I'm moving this along. You can be very distracting. So Let's go, right? Your first one. Okay, we are starting with an Amazon headline Roundup. so, I'm just gonna give you some headlines and some contacts and it will become very apparent to you. You need to turn the volume down or I going to lose my mind. Where am I? That's much better. So it will become very apparent to you when the quiz portion comes into play. Are we ready? Okay, I'm ready. Okay. Amazon headline. Roundup number one. Amazon unveiled, an autonomous robot, that won't quit like its human Workforce. What? That's not. What kind of a headline is that, exactly. So Amazon is concerned that it's going to run out of people to work in its warehouses within two years. This consider that is a serious because we talked about that and it's an internal one because this information is coming from an internal report that Amazon did that they then actually turned around and discredited by saying that it doesn't represent the actual situation. So okay, all internal research is done by the smartest people at your company. I'm sometimes you're you're dope and idiots. Do the internal research on like here I just I need a more cohesive answer from like this is C, not making any sense to me. So I have two questions. Sure, one to fix my confusion and one to confuse. You one is Amazon gaslighting us about their labor. Predicament. Yes, or no. Yes. Is this like one of those weird quiz genuinely asked, but we are keeping score, right? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, this is this part of the quiz, this part of the scoring, Maybe Because I know with Ari I know that Emma tries to trick us with these questions. I'm just just warning you. Yeah. And she knows how my mind works better than yours and then she tricks me hard know. But anyway I'm pretty simple man. Too, you saying yes just to make the game fun. I'll say no. What? That doesn't make any sense. Of course, thank you, our gas lighting, guys. See what Emma says. No, this is a problem. They're working towards fixing it. They got caught with this or somebody leaked or something and then they're like, just kidding. That's not a real problem. Yeah, yeah I think that's it and I mostly needed this for my own validation because the answer is yes in my mind, but I wanted to hear you say yes. So that I felt good about my thoughts about it 100%. Oh, one of us I said, okay. Yeah. Well you got it. Yes, you have it big. Yes, thank you. By the way, the robot is essentially a Roomba like it really is like a round flat thing on jealous now cuz I kind of want a Roomba. Yeah, I know you, but it's a Roomba that can carry heavy things around a warehouse, like it can sort of get underneath like a forklift with a bunch of packages on it and move it around the warehouse. I don't know what we're talking about anymore, okay, this is this is this thing that goes underneath other things is gonna replace all the workforce Amazon carry Yes. Okay hypothetically. Yes. So that they can focus. By the way on more rewarding work was the phrase and this will this also replace people in the c-suite, the executives, what do they call it? The S Suite, what are they called, Amazon? Yeah, the s team I think is the s team gonna be a bunch of roombas. If only, that's what I'm only for. Okay? Okay, so thank you for helping me with my confusion question. Number two is, what do you think? Given that answer? What do you think is the average? 10 year of an Amazon warehouse employee? Oh, eight months. Wow, okay. I see, I thought my original answer was gonna be low, so I don't feel so bad about now. I'll just say 2.3 years. Wow. I'm floored by Ari right now. Who got it? Exactly. Oh no I did not look at anything. Yeah. I just totally rigged. Only eight months eight months that must be 50%. Turnover rate, which is double the industry standard. It must be terrible. It must be terrible. A terrible job. I'm assuming. Yeah. So given that piece of information, I would imagine that they really are gaslighting us. Like that's a that was what convinced me because that's a problem. Yeah, eight months. That's it. Don't people say well, that's crazy to me. It. The bigger problem is that R is cheating because how the hell is she? How the hell is she guess it? Exactly, eight months. Absolutely no idea how she got that. I'm not even done an Editor to know where the doc is. I'm not looking at. Okay. All right. Doc we talk about the loading docket Amazon. Let's see how well Ari can do again. Okay, come on Ari. Let's see it. All right, number two, boy, Amazon. CEO tells IT staff. It is still committed to diversity after a management shake-up left it with no top black Executives. Yeah. Not great Gaslight. Here's a little tidbit of the email that Andy jassy sent. Though we've made substantial progress in higher level 8, and level 10 black leaders in the last two years. Who knows what that means. I have like what's it did? They not do skip right over level 9. Not there, not there. Sorry. Okay, continue. It's not lost on any of us that we are losing two of our most, senior black leaders change, sometimes brings about other changes and it's often challenging to navigate some of these shifts. But I am, as I know the rest of Team s is committed to continuing to hire and develop black senior leaders as well as leaders in other underrepresented segments. We have a lot of meaningful leadership roles at the company and we're working hard to become as diverse and inclusive. As we desire, I would like to firstly call out once sentence in particular which is change sometimes brings about other changes Yeah, that's the whole thing. I think with change changes stuff, so there's that. And now for a quick round of numbers, don't lie, you lying liar, which is what I'm calling this segment, wait numbers, don't lie, you lying liar, like it okay. Yeah, all right, number one, as of December 2021. What percentage of people in senior leader positions were white at Amazon or in general, Uh, at Amazon, yes. Are you want to go first? I mean, you made me look. So yeah, I'll go with. Yeah, I understand what it means. What percentage means, somewhere 100%. Yeah, 0.7. Okay. 85.7 85.7. So this includes this is just white, right? We're not talking about black versus white here, know what percentage of people and Senior leader positions at Amazon. I think you're pretty good. I'm gonna say you're pretty close. All right, I'm gonna go a little bit lower. I'll say 70%. All right, Damian is closer the actual number. Is 66.4%. So I'm not as high as you think. Yeah. Not as bad as you think. All right. Because there are tech companies so they probably have a lot of Asian people. Yeah, we don't know what I'm sure what that means, but there are a lot of Asian people in the world. So is that what you're All right, you know like they're more dominant in the workforce. Oh yeah absolutely. Number two, what percentage of field and customer employees aka the lowest level jobs at Amazon are white. We'll start with Ari this time. Yeah. Okay, lowest level are white. I'm gonna go with customer employees. Uh, 23% because June 23rd. Wow. Okay, that's a I like the way I replace these games that's a little bit lower than I would have guessed. I was gonna say somewhere around 35 to 40. Where I like to say we're both wrong know. Ari is correct. I buzzed you. You. What's the what's the what is money? Six point. Six percent. She was almost dead. Wow. That's incredible. Okay, so how what percentage are senior leaders 70? 60 to dropping down to what 26.6? Wow, that's crazy thing. About those stats, the comparison comfortable drop. Yeah, comfortable drop. All right, and for a bonus for each category, for both senior leader positions, and for field and customer positions. What percentage of them are women? Oh, first. Yeah, I'll go. I'll go staring into the abyss. Oh, she'll go. She'll go. For the senior leadership, I'm gonna say 20% women and for the other the lower the lowest paying jobs. I'm gonna go with 60% women. Okay, Damien. I mean, that sounds pretty good to me. I'll, I would say, let's be optimistic and say, 25% senior leader of I, I but I think that number is maybe too high for the lower level job, they'll say, 50 about that 50. Wow, Damian is almost exactly correct. Emma. I'm uncomfortable with the way you reward or punish us. Could you we both give an answer and then you you buzz last time, you buzz me? Yeah, it's happening. It's the last person. It's based on you want to know what medicine, strategy, what's going on your head? I'm reacting to the last person to give me an answer. So the last person to give me an answer was wrong. You get buzzed the last person to answer me was right, so confused. All right, so what what's the actual answer? The actual answers 25% and 50%. You were right on the wow. Okay, so we are we've both cheated so far in this test so we should feel proud. Oh yeah. No, that was kind of crazy. Yeah, well I, we do do this for a living, so at a certain point, we should be able to guess pretty closely to these things right? Yeah I was pretty good. Eight months was amazing about. I really good that. Answer. It was the craziest thing I've ever heard. All right, let's move it along and go to the last part of the Amazon headline, Roundup. Sure. All right. So, Here's your headline. Yeah, Amazon demonstrates. Alexa mimicking, the voice of a deceased relative. Oh yeah, we don't love it. Do we senior vice president and head scientist for the Alexa team, gave a presentation at an Amazon sponsored conference, the demonstrated Alexa's ability to mimic any voice based off of one minute of audio of their voice. So they can take that one minute and expand it into any word in whatever language that person. Okay? Hypothetically, and they gave a demonstration of this. The link is kind of the clip is kind of scary. I highly recommend going and watching it. It is exactly as dystopian as you would think. But on a scale of one to 10, how scared of this are you You know this schools along with another headline that I grabbed early today which is that their their working on AI that that for call centers where they're changing the accent from the. So if someone is saying in, you know, Spain or India, or whatever they're gonna change it, so that sound American. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Wow, I'm confused by this, I don't know. I don't know why because people are so xenophobic and racist that they have to hear a certain type of voice I suppose. Well, not this like you mean pitch. Like I mean the matching to a voice one. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like, it'll sound exactly what is a helpful application? I don't know. So I know seems dumb, I need a number. Oh, how are you? Here's my question, seven, that's how afraid you are. My question, is this? Is that you know how they're supposed to be a heaven? Um, sure what happens, if you've if you've you've gotten married in your, your first spouse Maybe. Maybe dies, tragically. Then you remarry after considerable grieving, period, right? Yeah. You remarried. Yep. And you know they're both important loves of your life. Yeah. What happens in heaven. How do you share the time? What do you hang out with? You are getting so off topic, I feel good. In this technology help with, this is what I'm saying, like Okay. Yeah, because it's just I don't know that that's weird. Is that ethical? This technology help with? That is what I'm saying? Could yeah. Why is it a seven? Is because I'm scared of all the grandmas, including my grandma is gonna get a call from supposedly me one day, my voice asking for help and she's gonna have a heart attack and die. Also, you're for the Deep fake Ari's, just popping up and being weird about afraid of Okay. Yeah, I don't know how scared of this technology. Um I'm scared of most of the technology so all like scammers already so annoying. Oh, cameras with this. Solid eight. Solid eight. Yeah, you're both correct. I'll give you both a point for that because you're if it was above a six then you were both right? Yeah. The Deep fake thing is the scariest part. Imagine if I, you know also old people get sorry that was amazing, not the best way for racing it but you know people who have Dementia or people who are just like aging, you know struggle with this. This is a known thing and imagine them hearing a familiar voice on the other side of the phone like asking for money asking for help asking for you know you know it was yeah it was whatever our parents and cynical I didn't even think of it that way. You're right though cuz I was just how weird would it be the Like, what if you're in a household, and you think about three ways in heaven? Know, well, I am, but I'm also thinking about like, what if not everyone in your house? Even liked your grandfather and now he's suddenly like talking to you all the time, and it's just like creepy and he's supposed to be dead and I don't know what's going on. Yeah, I think it also like messes up, you know, the death grieving process. Like there's something very I don't know unnatural about being able to have a conversation with someone who is dead, just like this conversation. Very exactly, exactly. All right, you guys, both got that one. Great. Okay. Moving on to our next segment. Yay. Okay. Who's winning by the way right now? Ari's winning. This is all right. Our next segment is called the lurking narcissist quiz your job is to guess why you think I want to talk about the headlines, I present to you. This section can be completed as a team if you so wish my teammate, I don't have a team here. All right. Where's your dog? A number one, oatmeal bowls that count? Yeah, number one, number one, A Bitcoin billionaire. Sam bankman freed. Oh yeah battled crypto. Firms blockfi and Voyager. Oh What? Oh boy. Okay, so why does she I think the reason? Why? Well, first of all crypto, second of all billionaire. Well, actually, first of all is Bales out. You're just saying, you're just saying words and nouns. Well, I okay, so you just, so you're saying the reason why I want to talk about it is because it talks about crypto billionaires and Bales out. That's an answer. I mean, I'm I think you're close to right. I would think though that she's annoyed that of all things on our Green Planet that, why would this idiot want to bail out those other idiots? Like why idiots are bailing out idiots? Like, how did what happened? How did Emma went to sleep and woke up? And this is what's happening. That's what, that's why I think she picked this one. You guys, you totally missed, okay? oh, No, for those image. Yeah. Those who know, you know, that I have a thing. Yeah. And people in battle one, like I think they just made their own mess. Yeah, battle Matt would have gotten that, sorry man. I know that um the other thing I wanted to mention really quickly was that the other amusing thing that does not have to do with the use of the word in battled, is he tweeted salmon for freed tweeted, all of this stuff about him bailing out these companies and I just wanted to read a couple highlights for you today. He he said today, we're injecting 250 million into block and partnering with them so they can navigate the market from a position of strength. Blockfi has a careful risk management and great leadership. So they successfully removed counterparties preemptively. We take our duty to series. We take our duty seriously to protect the digital asset ecosystem and its customers. I just don't understand that all sounded like an excuse for them going on under. Like I just don't know any other way to interpret it. Yes, it sounds like their Rickman is poor. Yeah, if they're struggling and they need a bailout. Isn't that not the definition of a bailout? You need help. Two crypto to fail. Yeah, exactly. All right, I'm really disappointed. That neither of you got the embattled one but I'll get over it too. Actually. Number two, Meta and Microsoft team up to create. Metaverse, standards, Apple and Google. Sit out. Create metaverse standards standards. What do you mean like Miles Davis? John Coltrane, what does that mean standards like, what? Metaverse standards? I don't even know what that is. Okay, Ari, any any clue what that could be? I know, do you? Why are private companies doing something that the government? Well, that's interesting. Yeah. Oh, you've gone right to the answer? Yeah, that's true. Okay, so why did you pick this quiz? This is a tough one armor because I know you don't like apple or Microsoft. So that was my first instinct. I wonder Apple's sitting out. I know that's why I'm confused like I wonder if you like the fact. Are you do you like this tag team? Like it's a meta and Microsoft versus Apple and Google like I'm gonna say you, you're liking this battle. This That's my answer. Yeah, no honestly my answers extremely simple. I like this headline because I am confused and I have questions. Question number one? Oh yeah. Okay. Apple and Google are both entering the metaverse, why don't they want to be involved? Why is Microsoft working with meta? Don't they have beef is the Forum. So by the way, this is the meta and Microsoft are founding members of what is being called the metaverse standards Forum along with Adobe and Nvidia and potentially, some other companies too. But Apple and Google are not taking part. As we know why do we know why they're not? They haven't said anything that being said they both do have a vested interest in the metaverse in particular because apple and this was actually a headline from today. Tim Cook, gave the strongest indication yet that they are developing augmented reality goggles and that they're going to be entering the metaverse space in Google has already made this pretty clear, so there's not a super obvious reason but I have I have questions. I'm Used why aren't they involved? Why doesn't Microsoft hate meta? Like don't they really clash and guessing they all hate each other, right? I guess the bigger question I have is already alluded to his, why aren't Regulators involved what? We're letting private companies. Create the standard we haven't regulated like we haven't regulated podcasts yet. This is totally unregulated crazy the metaverse. We haven't regulated backs, we haven't regulated all sorts of stuff. The government is way far away from regularly. You find that really irritating? Yeah. Well the speed is created is making it nearly impossible to regulate anything anymore because yeah, everything just happens at night. It's just ridiculous. And the people, the elected people in power, don't know anything about this stuff. Let's be fair. I mean they barely they can barely grasp the government itself like the Constitution or simple. Just listen. So how the hell they gonna understand this? Yeah, not to mention all the money that goes to them to not understanding. Right? Thank you. All right. And lastly, in this segment, we have Starbucks likely to tap board director to fill job as Schultz, exit looms. So I'm gonna give you a little bit of context before you Likely to tap board directory. Even that the use of that language, that I don't even really understand. No tap board directly, they always talk about tapping people. Tapping. What is that tapping? I have no idea that way. Yeah. Okay. Every headline, talking about yeah succession ever. All right. It's a, it's a giant game of seven up. Yeah. All right. I don't even know what. I don't even know what the game 7 Up. Is it sounds great though. And maybe we can play one day, Oh, you would like seven up. Damien it just you wait. Changing your life. All right here, the candidates. One. Mary Dillon, who is the former CEO and chair of Ulta beauty who stepped down this month as chair. She was also the lead of Global Marketing for McDonald's and she's been a Starbucks director since 2006 2016. What are you talking about here? This is, these are internal candidates to do to take over a CEO for Starbucks. And this is, you're making this up. You saw that. No, this is from the article. Howard Schultz, just announced that they were gonna look externally for a CEO higher. So they changing their minds. Is that what you're saying this articles from today? They there's also, so you're getting a little bit ahead of me here, but one of the other candidates that they are, they've been talking about is, of course, Ross, Brewer, who is currently unavailable, considering she is running Wal-Mart at this moment in time, but that is something that Walmart. She's because Walgreens yeah. So there's raspberry or Meridian and finally rich Allison who has been a Starbucks director since 2019 and he was the former CEO of Domino's but he stepped down in April. Yeah, so we have a we have a we have some one from a who used to be a McDonald's. Someone from Dominos and someone from a drugstore? Yeah, she was also well at Ulta for most of her career, I believe, I mean, as we all know, you know, I'm firmly believe at Starbucks should be reclassified as a drugs company. So, maybe Ross, Brewer black woman, right? Yep. Maybe maybe not a bad choice. For we'd have a we'd have a black woman CEO and a black woman chair. There was no way that's ever happened in the S&P 500. Am I right? No, way ever happened. So just saying that sounds exciting. But yeah, and that's all. I just wanted to give you some context now. Okay, answer. As to why you think I wanted to talk about this? Oh, right. Are you go first? I'm so confused. All right, I'll go first. I think Emma. Yeah, wanted to talk about this because why did you talk about this? What did she A because of Holocaust blankets. Like that's just sounds inappropriate and wrong. Part of me wants to say that it it's all she's also irritated by the language tap board director but that's probably just me who's irritated by that maybe I was maybe I was onto something with this combination of black women on the top of a powerful company. Maybe she's all so excited about that. Like I am. But I think they're real answer is. A did I have no idea? That's my answer. Clearly you guys had no idea the answer. We don't know you but we do know. We don't know what's the answer. I just wanted to know who you think that the new CEOs gonna be, that's really it. Yeah but I told you but I I told you I deserve personal credit here. You kind of dude deserve a credit. Honestly once you started talking I was like, oh, right in on something you did but that's not the reason you said that wasn't your answer you naturally picked up on what I wanted to talk about but that's not what you said. All right, you guys sucked at that, let's move on. Yeah. All right, number three, and finally, for today's show, we have to cry about it segment. I'm gonna give you a headline, you're gonna tell me how it makes you feel. And I'm gonna tell you whether you're right or not, that's a situation. All right, yes, ready. All right, headline, number one, Redfin. Executives got bonuses and huge compensation packages on the same day. The company announced major layoffs. How is that legal? Ah, let's hear it. All right. You had a reaction. Let's hear gut punch. It's a gut punch, okay? This is interesting one. So was it just like I mean did you read the announcement is it was it just like part of, were they announcing a bunch of things today? Like as a part of a quarterly filing? Do you know? I don't doesn't matter. I don't know if it matters. Um, my so I have to tell you my reaction to this red fin. Is that Fusion? That's real estate. Yes. I hate everything about real estate. So I'm gonna say my reaction is I hate everything about real estate. That's my reaction. You're welcome. We're both wrong, you're both extremely wrong. The answer really should feel excellent about this headline. Do you want? Do you know why? Yeah, okay, yeah, sure. Because the headline writer did their job perfectly In My Eyes by adding the. How is that legal on the end? Oh, I thought that was and you Had like it's in the document. It is right there. Yeah, Fortune Magazine. I love it. I feel like very infrequently does a headline really capture the essence by reaction to this. Very like yeah. How is that legal? Okay, so thank you for Fortune for that accurate headline. All right, yeah, we should tweet at that person. That's great. Alright, number two, Walmart. Well, now, reimburse employees in some states up to 1000 dollars if they want the help of a doula during childbirth up to 1000 dollars, that's what I'm fixated on because so, we had to help of Doulas. But I'm pretty sure that the whole Midwifery game is much more expensive than 1000 dollars to my memory and it's not like we're not golden crusted people. I mean Ari has heard me talk about my pathetic bathroom and all the horrible things in my life that they make fun of me because I borrow my mom's 2017, Subaru, just to drive to Connecticut. So I'm not a fancy person, but I'm pretty sure we spent way more than a thousand dollars. So I I'm gonna say, Walmart, considering half of your family is in the top 10 of like the richest people in the world and you just bought a stupid football team. Why don't you reimburse the entire amount for childbirth? How about? That's that's my reaction. Yeah. Interesting. I would I I first started thinking about maternity leave and left. Yeah, oh no. She's got So I feel it's quite, I don't know, the cynicism strong here. The cinnamon, I'm gonna give it to both of you. I think, I think that you both hit on the sentiment that I was feeling more or less, which is the fact like, I think that I feel confused for a couple of reasons one. Because like you Damien and you actually have the knowledge to back this up, I assume that hiring a doula was not in a thousand dollar Venture like, there's just no shot that, that is. So that's funny because the headline made me think that it was about 1,000. So I was like, all right, because never interacted with the Doula, like, how would you know, ever? So this is a lot and maybe this says, a lot about the insurance used at Walmart because it means certainly some states are way more Progressive about this than others and certainly some insurance is more Progressive than others but maybe I think Walmart is insinuating here that their insurance sucks, right? I think, I was confused because this is, I think a part of my confusion was the fact that this is a very weird thing to focus on during a PR campaign. It's like, we're not increasing maternity leave benefits, we're not, you know, oh, paying for child care. We're paying up to 1,000 for a doula and they're like, yeah, this is the thing. We're gonna make the news report on and we're gonna look awesome. So I'm confused by that and it's stupid in general. Because if you're gonna give them more benefits, just extend maternity leave pay for child care like pay for education, do something, I don't know. I will say this to the thing just do it. Do the thing, pull back. Some of the clouds from Emma's life is that there was no greater thing than having a midwife, a doula president at your oh brother, the whole birthing process. Even before the I'm just saying these are wonderful people and everyone should use them. They should be, they should be very highly paid professionals blah blah blah. I'm on my soap opera. Yeah I feel like I would need someone Who is not my family member and not my partner who impregnated me to hold my hand while that was happening, you know?
