Business Pants – 2022-08-19

Live from room, 819 at the mascardi Hotel and Resorts in downtown Connecticut. It's a hungry AF edition of business pants Friday featuring the entire crew of freefloat Legends are the data, Queen Emma, the lurker Matt, the musk etc etc in this week's episode shouting and other things, we are gonna shout for sure. No doubt that I don't want to be the musk, do I have to be the musk? You wear shirts that say, be like us. Well, those are like controversial. I'm not angry this week. I still some spending time down this Rabbit Hole, so if anybody was listening to show you yesterday, the anti woke Rabbit Hole. I'm still in it. I don't want to talk about that anymore before we get, okay. This is the Friday show. Wrap up the week story of the week as holy is the week. What else? We got good list of the week irritating. So the week before we get going, I want to announce the first publicly traded company that I think is a ESG pun. And that is stakeholders. I already forgot the name. Stakeholders. Stakeholders? What's it called its day? Colder's Holdings. Stakeholder Foods limited. Okay. There you go. And it's spelled s t e a k holder, so like the bioprinted steak. So I think we've done it. I think we won. I think ESG can retire itself. I think we're there over. You ready? All right, let's just quit the show. Then go. We are doing that. How dare you? Emma. Here we go store the week. Come on. Do it. He's saying, come on like let's all kind of gave me the same. Yeah. They're already gave you one. Yeah, I like that. Okay, here we go. Oh, well, like that. Okay. I've separated mine. A four different categories. I got woke capitalist Wars. I got old-fashioned news. Heinous founder, cult Bros. How many headlines is this? And I have I have some dystopia headlines. I know I this is what I do. Just leave me alone. Here we go. First, in our vote capitalist Wars. Let's go to Florida. A federal judge yesterday blocked. A key provision of Florida's. Stop woke Act. This is, this is called the individual, the individual freedoms Act Great names. Did everyone go to the George W? Bush School of diplomacy. Is that what happened here? It's just a bunch of nonsense, but nonsense freedoms, Freedom fries. This the individual freedoms act prohibits employees in the state from forcing workers to attend diversity training. That would make them feel uncomfortable or guilty about their race because of historical events. Yeah, I like the guild. How did I end up being a black studies? Minor? I mean I don't understand I don't feel guilty or uncomfortable. It just I don't understand that. What am I don't understand? I mean I'm always uncomfortable. You should you should feel guilty I don't even know. Anyway, All so banned from this great to Santa's law. And he talked of advantages or disadvantages based on race. Florida argues that by limiting. These discussions is actually protecting speech overall. I don't know what's happening. Don't say anything and that's how protect your speech. It that's what's going on in Florida, right? I guess like this is the same thing as don't say. It's the same Theory. It's bizarre, it's Insanity. Here's what the judge Mark Warner said, he said the law was something you might find in an alternate universe. Here's the quote in the popular television series, stranger things, the upside down describes a parallel Dimension, containing a distorted version of our world. Now, like the heroin and stranger things. This court is once again asked to pull Florida back from the upside down. Wow, he looks like total this belief. I'm, I can't believe he referenced stranger things. Hey, it works for me, it works. Yeah, it is hard to believe, isn't it? We know what he does when he goes home. Now, we know That's the first one. The second part of my what couple is worth Jamie dimon is Neil Young again. He's defending woke capitalism saying Society is worse off if we don't lift up everybody, Okay, it wasn't, you know, he wasn't defending woke capitalism. Okay. He also said, we need to burn as much oil and gas as we can. Well, there's different parts of world capitalism. He seems to be very much on the S part of it, the social part of it. No, this is an extension of what was said in the world economic Forum in 2018-19, when the Business Roundtable came out, that stakeholder, capitalism thing, that whole thing. Was about keeping pitchforks away from billionaires, that's all that was about income inequality. So large, Jamie diamonds. Worried that literally, if we don't quote, you know, lift up everybody. Basically, everybody's going to kill the Jamie Diamonds the wrong Wiggly. The many shotguns that they went and bought and they are 15, right? He's not wrong, but that self-preservation. That's not woke capitalism. He's not offending. What? Capitalism? He's basically saying. Hey guys, we Millionaires and billionaires, we really need to make sure that we're not so far away from them that they kill us. That's all that's about. And finally, what capitalists were different opinion? Here is Whole Foods CEO, who's actually stepping down soon in the fall, John Mackey, he says. Socialists are taking over in the US and young people in Liberal cities. I thought they're all liberal young people and liberal cities. Don't seem like they want to work. He's also said that he's feeling Freer to express his opinions. Now that he's stepping down, but isn't he known for expressing his opinions? I don't really understand this part of it. He said something in 2009 about Obamacare and how it was fascist and then he said, now he's saying the board muzzled me since 2009 and now I'm gonna really tell you what. I think just like the world is waiting for what John Mackey has to say. Just shut up. I mean I I will say this, I have a Whole Foods here in my city. I got all the favorites including including Trader, Joe's Trader, Joe's those cold? Yeah, and the locals, you know, the henna for the shows, the reason why that they don't want to seem like the they don't want to work. Their John is because it's hopeful. This is just sad and Solace. Everyone's just sad and Solace. So it's Maybe it's your fault. Because when I go to Trader Joe's They're God damn happy all the time. It's weird. Like they're just chipper constantly, so maybe it's John, Mackey, maybe it's his fault. Nobody wants to Las a Whole Foods in our town and that I don't go to because I don't want to pay 5.99 for a can of chickpeas rather than 99 Cents when they're the same chickpeas harvested in the same way, just one says Whole Foods on it. This is Matt's segment called what's the deal with airplane food. All right. Come on. Moving on. An old fashioned news, Walmart CVS, Walgreens, or order to pay a total of 650 million dollars over their failure to properly monitor, opioid prescriptions, just in one State and Ohio. You know, I don't, that's a good question. Overall Bloomberg is reporting that the total cost could be 22 billion dollars for these drug companies. I don't know why not considering CVS alone made 292 billion in Revenue last year. Seems. Yeah I didn't think the old-fashioned news. Make a dent. So moving on Haynes founder. Cult Bros this section. First we got. Oh, Adam Neumann back in the news. Here's the headline. If you fuck up in the biggest ways you can be redeemed, Silicon Valley, just handed 350 million dollars to the guy who crashed wework. So they're essentially giving Adam Neumann money again that Mark in driesen over at Andreessen Horowitz. They're giving him money for his new apartment management company flow, which is an idea that he already created wework. I think it was called we live, and really, it's just, it's just culty. I stated a we live. It was crazy. Yeah. How did it go? It was honestly really nice because I got to leave. It wasn't trapped there. I just paid the money there and left. I forget the name. There's a rival to this. That I don't know if we reported on but you tagged it. I'm a there's a rival company does exact same thing. And and there is a shit show of complaints and allegations of Just harassment. All kinds of bad things going on in these weird culty. Shared Living Spaces, they don't so good. Anyway, that's what happens when you fail big, I guess Anderson. What is andreesen Horowitz? Bills you out. Here's a one founder connected to the startup accelerator. Why combinator here's what here's their quote on the one hand, it is comforting to know that if you fuck up in the biggest ways you can be redeemed, if you were already white dude, who was incredibly on the other hand, I am not a white dude with existing wealth and connection. So I am saddened. That's wow. Okay. Okay. Moving on the next heinous founder kuldeep, bro, in the news is an old favorite to this show. This is a sad, it's a sad ending to a to a guy that I trumpeted constantly and I thought I loved, and this might be the what, the New York Times might be calling the grossest green wash ever. I mean, those are my words, the grossest greenwash ever. But I'm paraphrasing their story gravity payments, CEO, Dan price. Who gained Fame? After paying all employees, at least, 70,000 dollars is just resigned to fight. What he calls false accusation of a salt, he faces a slew of sexual assault location from many women, including his ex-wife alleging that he used social media to launder. His public Persona and avoid reproach. This is according to the New York Times. So he Agreed. The times is reporting that prices internet, same helped enable a pattern of abuse involving alleged rape and choking and multiple women. Yeah. so what it sounds like the New York Times is saying, is that they he used this 70,000 dollar, Salary to greenwash his his horrible heinous Behavior to full idiots, like me, because I because I love them and a lot of people love them quite frankly. Yeah. What's sad is that like paying somebody 70k is so rare that the people that do do it they have this Shield right that he used. Good point like good point. Yeah, it said that if you recognize a systemic flaw, you can do a simple correction and then get away with choking women for a decade after Yeah, so he he's resigning and he's, of course, he's singing It's all boldness. The only reason why he's resigning is the fight this full-time. He's not going anywhere but yeah, nobody believes that. So Fall From Grace unfortunately, another horrible founder, bro. And then finally, in this category, this is a big horrible category. In the heinous founder cult Bros is the the meme Lord. Ryan Cohen. He's the He's the, he's the founder of chewy. Right. Sits on the he's a chair at GameStop. So this is a weird story. So two days ago, I guess he revealed his huge stake in Bed Bath & Beyond the stock price surged. And now today, they're reporting that he got rid of all of it. He's he dumped all of his shares A pocketing 68 million dollars in profit causing the stock to Crater as so as when he announced his huge position two days ago, all the meme stock followers, rushed in. Because that's what happens when the meme Lord says a thing. And now he's out suddenly the stock at Bed Bath Beyond is is crashing. And I think this this post I saw on Reddit sums. It up the best thing. This, that his Twitter, his tweet from June, there's saying it aged like milk. Here's his Ryan Cohen's tweet from June, I'm sick of seeing failed Executives. Make millions in risk-free compensation, while shareholders are left, holding the bag. Yeah, I don't even know why he needed to tweet that. I don't know why. Like you just you the whole meme stock thing was like to fight the what your Wall Street overlords and then you elected a different Overlord. He did the same thing that the wall with the founder, like surprised that. Yeah, he's not like a literal scruffy skater, dude. He's the founder of chewy and the chair Game Stop. I mean, before the meme stock thing Bed Bath & Beyond was trading at six dollars a share, I don't like the the company has nothing to do with this. The whole thing was the joke. And the joke's on you idiots, who followed the meme Lord. That's where the that's that you're the joke. Congratulations now. You're right on it. And then finally my last category is in is dystopia. I like to I like to wrap up or just opioid. This is all just dope. Yeah. What was not dying. Okay, well first ambient Airbnb is launching a Tech Tool to prevent users from booking properties for parties. I just wanted to do this because I want to see for triggered. Emma. The tools used in algorithm I like I just like saying algorithm around you, the tools you use an algorithm that Flags potentially high-risk reservation's. I love this high-risk reservation. So I like lucky people is that by looking at user characteristics, like history of positive reviews, length of time, the guest has been on Airbnb length at the trip distance to the listing weekend versus Weekday among many others. This Is How They smell out, party ears. Okay. You mean weekday parties are not that common. Yeah there's never been a weekday party in the summer. Never happens. What about inside? So, that's what's happening at Airbnb over at Amazon. They're, they're turning. They're taking the security footage from The Ring doorbell cameras and they're turning it into a reality show. oh, there's an article that says that people expect to spend at least four hours a day in the metaverse, which translates to probably 14 hours or your waking hours. No, yes, I'm not no not gonna do it. No, no, no. Like, what are we doing? Those are Those are four choices. I'm just some weird. Dystopia, Tech stories. All the heinous founder cult Bros drug companies. Find and then the what capitalists Wars? Anyone went away in. Honestly, and we still have assholes week and irritating. I know, I know I was thinking that Some of you probably will cover these again. So we get them out of the way at the top. Yeah. We're not gonna talk about them much. It's definitely for me, it's definitely not the old-fashioned news. Like literally that was a headline for four seconds, and then it disappeared. I just wanted to show people what, what corporate news used to be like, I'm pretty sure it's the, I want to. I wish it was the anti-woke movement, but that's something that like only four people care about and that's true. No one else you don't think? Yeah, I think this DeSantis stuff. I think it's caught the national attention. No, not just people. It has, I mean, yes, she is CRT for this election cycle but but, but they're not talking about ESG in this case. This is a judge basically trying to point out that you enforcing. This law is impossible and stupid and the Jamie Diamond stuff. Only we care about what that blowhard says, John Mackey talking. It's just gonna get like 40 seconds on a Fox News cycle where it's like head of organic, you know, company says socialist taking over, right? Like it's meant to be like a leftist troll but there's not really owning a cycle but the tech bro. Like the Bro, thing the founders, bro, week that Dan price, I don't care about Ryan Cohen. He's he's part of the joke but that to me feels like it. That's it. That's like all the assholes to me. That is what Rose Tech Bros being horrible. Yeah. Didn't you report last week? Down with the founder, boys. Founder boys are out. Well. One founder boys back, unfortunately. Now he wants just to tell you how to live. Yeah, he's he changed the Wii. The Wii thing into flow because now he's got flow is the name of the org that injuries and just funded and flow. Carbon is his other startup that does like carbon nfts. So flow. Yeah, we float. I'm gonna go with the cult Bros as well. Mostly because I also read that the amount of money that Adam Neumann just raised was more than All female Founders have raised this year. That's their biggest check ever. And Jason horror was his biggest. Check ever is to this failed. Culty nightmare of a person, the biggest check ever. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure everybody's gonna use Dan price. It's like, see we can't do. We like we can't do good things. I don't know, they're just gonna use it like, This, what are you? Give people a living wage. Everybody turns into him. I don't know. I think, I mean you're you're kind of joking because you're having a I think you're right. It's the same effect when a female CEO Leaves a company like they're not going to have a female CEO for another 490 years. They're gonna just put everything like see, it doesn't work. We can't try that again. All that nonsense. As much as I would love to be contrary, it's my favorite thing. I just can't get myself there today. I am going to agree with Thing 1 and 2 with the Colts Tech Bros. Which yeah thing am I too? Obviously obviously. Yeah unfortunately. I I would have to agree with all you story of the week is the return of all just heinous founder cult, bro, stories. All Right. Moving On. Ari cheers up Goodluck of the week. Come on. All right, well, we're not starting at two hot here, but this is the headline that I read this week muscled out of the market. Sorry. Matt cover, your ears. I think this is a pun Dodge is retiring the charger and the Challenger cars. And they're opting for more eco-friendly options. Oh, why can't they make those a girlfriend like can't they make him electric? Can they make cars less scary now right? I always thought like those are mean looking cars and like, I don't like price car. Thank you, very agree, with that. But anyway, I am just happy that those cars are no longer gonna be manufactured starting next year, I believe. Was their tremendous outcry from all of New Jersey? Like I feel like I know somehow this is gonna get spun into like anti-wolf stuff. It is Santa he's Course, this is an anti-world. This is a woke move. And immediately I expect to see like, you know, we're not even selling muscle cars because America. So we liberals hate America. Well, I'll be honest with you. I, when you talked about the charger and the Challenger, it's the same, it's the same effect with when I think about, like, I don't actually know what Trump supporter living in this city. Like I don't know if I don't know, a charger and challenge, I can't even picture it what, okay, I just see Subarus and like, police and No, I just can't. I live in a I live in a woke bubble. I don't know. I don't know, Challengers and Chargers around the police station and see what you see. Okay, police cars and they probably have super up here. Okay, you'll spot one. All right. Now back number two. Women are killing it this week. Yeah, I know. dad with his bro stuff but Last week was down with the boy Founders, which a little bit revived this week, but this week up with qualified women, I noticed a lot of stories this week about women. And here are three that I picked Yahoo appointed, Jen. Rubio CEO co-founder of away to its board directors. What Yahoo was still? Yeah. Yahoo is still a company good for you. Turn it around. Yeah, we try. Yeah, and our news. Yeah. Good for you. Jen Rubio. Christina Spade. She's the current CFO and CEO of AMC and she is now set to become the next CEO. Is there a MC like Mad Men, the movie, the network? Yeah, AMC Network, good for you, Christina Spade. And what CFO and she's the current CFO and CEO. Is that a thing? Yeah. I don't think I've said before, is it a real company? I mean that's seems like the easiest higher ever. You basically are like, there's a woman on her Chef. Who does all the things like? What was the CEO doing? Wow. all I gotta say Ari. We we've looked at a lot of companies and proxies over the years. We cover, how many thousands of companies do we cover 9000? I don't think I've ever seen it. Combined CFO CEO. Well, She is both. I do wonder if she gets an upgraded office and if she has to move, And she just got, she got to the company. Two years ago, I believe as c o o first, then became CFO and CEO. And now she's leaving those posts to be the CEO of The Giver, like, a sunroof or something. Something good double while she was both CFO and CEO and no, it's a good question. Yeah. All right, and last of my women are killing it, and incredible health and online job, matching platform that focuses on nursing 80 million dollars in their recent series B funding round, reaching a valuation of 1.65 million dollars. Yes. And obviously, the reason why this is here is because this newest unicorn is co-founded and led by Dr. Eman abused. And she joins the ranks of super rare. Black female founders of a unicorn. Nice. You know what? That it better news Ari. It's that company is even valued more than Adam Newman's. Terrible new company, higher valuation. That's something that it's like, something that you will take it, maybe they can tackle teachers, next, they got nursing because there's a big, you know, I know it's not what we cover here. Exactly. But what the hell is a job matching platform. Oh yeah. like it's like it's like zipper recruiter you go sign up for a job but this is kind of Nursing and it matches know just it's monster.com that one's that one sounded sort of self like maybe he was something interesting. It's just another job site got it. Keep going already. Or Damien's. Dumb question. All right you can talk about this one. If you want adapt or die far, more thrives by growing gluten-free, green needing, no water during drought. This is what for from France if that's waste anyone's vote. and, The Story Goes. What doesn't need irrigation requires. No pesticides. And needs only a third of the fertilizer of wheat. It's a grain called sorghum. I don't know how it's pronounced. Yeah, sort of that. Yes, sorghum. Wait sorghum. It doesn't need water. Yeah, water, I'm no, it doesn't need irrigation. Oh, So for everything water needs, what the headlines? Says needing no water. So During that kind of. Okay. Got it. I really don't. We may all be, you know. Eating this green because the whole world is going. I'm fine with it, I I don't have any whatever the grain I'm okay with really, who cares? Just give me a grain. Anyway. There's not much out there. You have a. Does anybody have a vote? I do. Go ahead, Emma. I'm gonna do whatever I'm does. Today, I'm going women. I like, I like this. Come on irrigation lists grain, but I feel like, I don't know enough about it yet, in order to make a good judgment and I feel like women doing stuff is always a safe bet. So, that's where I'm at. I'm with you, Matt. What do you have? So now I have a pointless vote. Well I'm I would I would have eliminated the muscle cars anyway because On the back of the reports that they were retiring the muscle cars. They are also releasing, or they plan on releasing in an electric version of the muscle cars. Yeah. Still gonna be scared when I see them. That's true. Here's a quote Dodge says it's future. Electric muscle car will be super loud. They're actually are adding in like shaking this to the car and a super loud engine. Like they have to like because the electric cars make no sound and in order to make the muscle ear, they are there literally turning on like audio, the piping in fake audio. I saw a terrible movie about this very thing, not too long ago. Like a 282 a.m. Queen Latifah was in it. The guy from swingers, I don't remember his name, Kevin James. And they were, they were they were building a an e, like muscle car. And I remember Kevin James's job was to get the sound right. Like, when you floored it to get that muscle sound, right? Yeah, this is actually and they do that horrible, horrible movie. Oh my God, horrible movie. Horrible idea solution after we get, I watched the whole thing. I love. I had lots of snacks down great. I'm gonna, I'm, I would not agree with women killing it, mostly because like the Adam Neumann proves that no matter how much women kill it men still get more. And so I'm going with sorghum, I'm going with, I'm going like it weird grain, requiring little water and go with that. And yet women are killing it wins. Moving on as holy as the week. Matt come on. What do you got? All right trails from before. There's just retreads, which means we don't spend a lot of time on it. I Bros are the assholes of the week periods. So now you're just gonna vote. Yes. Holy Week. So so we're not doing like a several stories. We're just picking a bro. All right, for the Bros. The first bro, this is very broad. This is the best sound effect we've ever had the first, bro. You're you can choose is Mark andreson himself of Andreessen Horowitz. This is what I spent a lot of time this this morning, Marc Andreessen. There were 84 companies that injuries and Horowitz did see or series a round investments in 2022 so far. And this is using pre-ta, shout out to frequent 89% of the CEOs, were male, the nine, women who were CEOs actually had on average to wait an extra year to get the money. So they founded their company 2019 and all the boys on average found their company 2020. And they get this, they get the money, you know, the data tells you this. It tells you how long the wait is before they get the actual cash. Well, I did that analysis. There are only using their nine. They're only nine female CEOs that he invested in and they all have his firm invested in. Yep, and they waited longer Yeah, and 88% of the money obviously, went to the male CEOs. The average amount was actually spread pretty equally. It was like 50 million to, or 55 million to 56 million, something like that. So, average amount was roughly the same. They just don't get any women because apparently there's only nine women in 2022 or CEOs that can get funded. So marketing. Yeah, I hate to back Mark, but, you know, that does reflect the actual data. There aren't really, unfortunately there are no famous, it's very low sharp. Unfortunately, these are, these are seed rounds. These are startups. These are founders you telling me, right? These aren't this is not 500. Yeah, it's not the S&P 500, They're Not Elected by Boards. These are women, who start companies, but do you really think? Mark and drewson is going to trust a woman? Do you really think that? No no, I don't. That's nobody here for that, right? He's one of the wacka Bros. Okay, got it. The other whack a bro is Anyone talking about the Finnish PMS party? Yeah. Okay. Boris Johnson literally had drunken parties during covid and like, it wasn't ousted for it and we we're we're questioning a 36 year old woman who saw the dances on God forbid. She danced, Matt God, what did she has any fun? She could be. I don't care if she's like taking hits a mess. I really don't care because the Canadians thought that was cool. When the what was it? The mayor of Toronto was literally do, righting hookers. I'll tell you this. What the reason why they're talking about it because they're they're in love with her. It's just the same thing. It's the same thing with AOC while the right is, why they're obsessed with AOC. They're just they're in love, they're in love. I don't care what the reason is, just stop talking about it. It's not when she goes home. I don't care if she's snorting. Cocaine off a hookers, I don't care what she's doing, she's not doing her the fuk alone. Like it's not like you either. Anyway, okay, so anyone talking about the Finish PMS. Oh we are, we're talking about it. We're, yeah. We're talking about it in the right way. Oh God. I'm right. You're right Wacker, bro. Number three, Mark Zuckerberg. He's easy to whack, but it's really not Mark Zuckerberg. It's the, the Emoji version of himself that he announced in his new metaverse. You tell me what? Tell me. The metaverse idol of himself to himself in Horizon. World The Meta platform metaverse that they unveiled. That looks actually shockingly like a Nintendo Wii Emoji. That's so we haven't progressed 20 years probably those emojis. Yeah there are memojis whatever they're calling them. It looks like a memoji their childlike and delightful. Yeah. But he's clearly crafted. He spent 10 billion dollars. He's a College, Dropout autocrat. If a dual-class fake public company and he's crafted an entire world, dedicated largely to himself. He even the picture of himself, he is he makes the Eiffel Tower look tiny. Like the whole point is really self-aggrandizement so you can whack. I think we should. Yeah, you gotta look at it, it's very good. It's look for Mark Zuckerberg's. Like, like me. Like what? I don't know. What Avatar Mark, Zuckerberg Avatar. And the jokes on Twitter are endless. Like, they're showing pictures. Oh, jeeze video games from like 1997, that looked better. Oh, Jesus. Okay, yeah, that's terrible. So feel free to whack that guy. I will say this so much his credit he looks more human. The Avatar looks more human than mark. Look more loveable. That's that's that's all the metaverse is designed to do. Make Mark Zuckerberg look more like a human, right? Um, here's another Wacker bro, Jamie dimon. Yeah. I'm just gonna say Jamie dimon use. Yeah, like just shut up. You know me, I'm torn. I'm always torn on Jamie Diamond. We're I agree with you meant that he clearly is self-preservation. but, I'm torn. He's the closest to a Centrist, bro. We've got right but via the self-preservation. We still could get policies that actually help people like below the upper classes. I'm just saying it just as an FYI though Jamie dimon is JP Morgan is the largest funder of fossil fuels. Yeah, as Banks. So we're talking about like and it's not like Jamie dimon and and JP Morgan and don't have problems like funding women and like there's a lot of they have problems. All right. So just you can I'm just giving you that option and then finally whack Dan price in his fucking face, feel free to do that. So there are your options. Mark Andrews won the tough. Anyone talking about the Finish PM Mark Zuckerberg, Jamie dimon or Dan price. You got five Wacker, roll options. I'm definitely Torn Between the top and bottom of your list. I think I can like that out of new. That on here because it is not his fault them Mark and treason, gave him money, it's marking. Oh, how dare you should have? How dare you take a shower said, it is his father. Adam you go away know that you, you failed miserably and multiple times. Honestly. And all right. I just shame and just leave us all alone, really atom has no shame. Oh, Emma, you have a bow. I want to hear your voice and you I I am going to go Marc Andreessen. Because he yeah, I know it might be the obvious choice, but I don't know. Just the fact that he, I, I think I have dug very deep into the wework thing. I have consumed, like almost every piece of media out there about it, like I just in the wework wheel and the fact that Mark injuries and thought it, this was a good idea, it is just beyond me. But that being said Dan price, I think was close. I loved the Finish PM one and even Mark, Zuckerberg, particularly pissed me off, even in this moment because he, I just got a notification from Instagram asking, check out the most recent picture from the official Instagram account. So yeah, no, is it of Mark? Zuckerberg's metaverse, avatars. Honestly, hang on. Let's see. Should we see what is it? No it's this it's this oh it's a creepy dog. Really dog. Look that's not that far from the Avatar of Mark. Here's where. Yeah, here's the only problem with your assessment. Emma is that Marc Andreessen is he's, he's just betting on an Elon Musk type of character, right? He's just because he knows that because bedding on it, actually, he is betting, he's betting that Adam Newman is a really good scammer and he can do a really good. That's what he's doing. You just said that, you digested, all of the meteor around Adam Neumann. So, if we took an Emma, lurking who didn't have the, the Andy will faculties that the real Emma has and that Emma lurking my actually say, oh, I know this guy from Hulu, like, I would go live there. I mean there's a lot of stupid people in this country. God bless them. I love them all. I don't hate them. Mark, andreasen is making a very look lovely Choice. He is saying he's better on, not the idiot, Mark betting on an a hole who was gonna sell and I know it's probably gonna work, it's gonna sell, here's the thing that makes him in the asshole. Yeah, I want to vote my instinct tells me to vote for Mark Andreessen this week, but I, I gotta go. Maybe because I'll let Ari be the Arbiter of Truth here, but I got to go Dan price, because it's fair, because it's just, it's just too, just, it's just too horrible. I mean, just too. I mean what were the allegations choking and rape? I look, I mean, I, I'll go old fashioned asshole on this one. And go damn Bryce. Terrible. I am gonna join you. Yeah. With Dan price. Oh, I just Matt. Who would? Yeah. Who would have you said, Matt? I, I would have said, Dan price is an obvious asshole. Oh, the asshole, we all know. Right. The one says he's amazing and then it goes home. It's gross. Yeah, it's a weird guy. Grosses that long-haired bearded guy who would like he massaged like a freshman year at school. He's like massaging you. Yeah, exactly. Before you even like, know his name. Yeah, yeah. He's just the that he's that gross asshole. Like, and Andresen is a tech, bro. Asshole, I would have gone with the Finish PM actually. Yeah, I really honestly, I, I hate that. I have to read a story about video leaks of her dancing. Do you watch the video? She danced? I don't care listeners. They were stories about Obama fist. Bumping people, I mean you know they do. The media does follow the leaders of countries around like this is kind of what they do. We have been cover Ring like the anti-wolf movement and how the media cannot scratch. One nanometer below the surface and figure out what's going on. This is just that there's nothing more asshole than someone weighing in and saying like how dare she and how. And then she has to get up there and say, I'm a young woman or what I do on my time is what I do. On my time, just leave me alone and then they're like, well, they just ask for a drug test. They wanted to drug test and it's like, are you serious? Let's drug test. Every Finnish Parliament member, every single one of them. Well luckily they're all those are not fucked up. Half the time there's a drug test as a drug test. That's what I want to do. As we've reported many times here, the cabinet is basically all female over there in Finland, so you better get some drug tests that are appropriate for women. Moving on. It didn't matter though. Emma, wrap us up irritating us at the week. What's really getting you this week? Okay. Bye. Not talked about. Yet. Okay, number one, the petrochemical industry is convincing states to deregulate plastic incineration. This one kind of fucked me up this week. I'm not gonna lie, I apologize. This is my French there, but it really this one got me. Um, so I did not know this but there is something called chemical Recycling. And it is a very wide umbrella much of which is kind of fakie, and what the petrochemical industry is sort of lobbying for, is that they want to melt plastic. Basically, they're chemical recycling, involves melting plastic turning that into a toxic oil that is then used as a high polluting fuel, that usually ends up being burned on site or at other ways processors and great. Doesn't it sounds awesome. It's like, it's like, it's kind of like what we learned about rotation, like the highway the cycle of water, all that stuff? Yeah, that's the cycle toxic waste, which is cool. And, which is also the rain, by the way, did you know that we can't drink? That's rainwater anymore. The acidity acid rain, plastic ring. Yeah, and so burning. So for example, just like to give you an idea of how bad the toxic waste is. Yeah, burning this type of fuel, that results from this chemical recycling out. One single chemical recycling, plant released, half a million pounds of hazardous waste into the air, including lead. So there's in, of course, these facilities obviously are in low income areas that are majority people of color and so of course, Wait, yeah. So they want to, why do they want to deregulate? So they just regularly because they don't want to have to meet certain requirements that they are about to have to report on. So they don't want to have to report on air quality. They don't want to have to sound terrible. Yeah, a lot of ways and I didn't even know that chemical recycling was a thing. It sounds like there are a couple of legitimate forms of it but these industries just want to be regulated. So they don't have to report a mental impacts. Isn't how The Terminator died in T2 or was he was like chemically recycle him or something and planting a bad of acid or I don't know what's going on here. Here's the reason why they can do this because they the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA cannot enforce the clean area. So you mean the call Supreme Court the car, the current Supreme Court right which none of them are gonna die or retire. Women haters, they're like 12 years old and they all got appointed by Mitch McConnell. Um, but I do think we should make a suggestion. If they do deregulate it, we should suggest that when they burn it, they should have to burn it in the executives backyard. Like I'll just put like a small fire pit and they constantly are putting plastic in. That's pretty big backyard. That's Unfortunately, they could probably Seven Acres away from their child's ball. I think they should have to do it like with seating arrangements around it. So if they wanted to see if the fireplace to add that, Low rider into the rule. Yeah, put that into the rule. That's what else am I. What else is getting? Never too. Samsung air for jail for bribery parted by South Korea's president. So he can help, quote overcome the economic crisis. Like this. And this is, here's the translation of what I heard from that headline. Something along the lines of, oh, no Executives might not get to increase their salaries by millions of dollars next year. So we need to clear a Billionaire's criminal record like it just doesn't make any sense. I just, you heard, that's what I heard. So this guy say who's economic crisis. So, this guy is, his name is JY, Lee. He is the son of the recently passed Sampson. Chair. And he was in jail for 18 months and has been out on parole for a year for bribery. And this means the fact that he got part in me and said he will officially be able to take back his board seat and Leadership position. Yep. Right. Because he was banned. Okay. So he's like so the president is just like ripping up, correct order the right. He just like whatever. Yeah whatever. Yeah, otherwise would have had to stay unemployed for four more years. I think there were other stipulations. And in addition to that would have been so hard and he is probably more or less in line for the throne as it were for the chair position of Samsung. So that was great. What so how big is the bride that you have to pay the president to get you out of the bribe that you got went in jail for at least even was sent to jail in the first place? It's, that's true. Yes. That's why you're good at the week. You see the good and everything. We need more stats though about billionaire unemployment rates like nobody's tracking that. They're they're in Dire Straits right now. Would stay in that camp. We need to add a prison indicator to our daily. I love that. Oh, I like that. I think that they managed to stay out of jail, pretty successful. So, and finally number three, this is a double header two headlines here, for, for emphasis, for drama a headline. Number one is the setup to the punch line, which is headline number two headline, number one, Amazon, accuses the FTC of harassing founder, Jeff Bezos, and CEO, Andy jassy, as a part of an investigation into Prime and the second headline if Jeff Bezos, or Amazon Executives, like CEO Andy jassy, used Vanishing messages to discuss. Prime the FTC wants them handed over as it investigates, the company's sign up tactics. Wait, oh, can you hand over Vanishing messages? It would seem as though, that's the issue and the largest company in the world basically used Snapchat to discuss extremely high level company matters and they're like all upset about being harassed or whatever I just and the matters they were just discussing. By the way were basically about non-consensual enrollees in Prime AKA their stealing from people who didn't understand the terms of prime because they purposely made that language confusing and they keep people on their docket when they aren't supposed to whatever and my thought. About this is that they're just butt hurt that Lina Khan ripped them, a new one in her 2017 paper called Amazon's Anti-Trust paradox. so, How about Amazon accusing any harassing Horizon word that word choice harassed. Sorry. Yeah, neither of these fools, listen to our show in which this week tell us we nuggeted this we we the Nugget was like Amazon, accuses FTC of harassing, Jeff Bezos and the juxtaposition was employees in accusing Amazon of harassment and sexual harassment and discrimination. So there's just a lot, it's just a chain of harassment, the only there's just angry because they're being harassed so they harass someone else. It's just that Prime is getting sneakier trying to get you. Oh absolutely. And people signed us back up. What do you mean? Oh because like if you check out and the link to check out if you ever had prime and you quit, crying, you disabled it. It it's not very clear that when you're checking out and you just are choosing to buy for it not as a prime item. Okay. Enrollsy on Prime and you're all checked out and then you get your stuff. It's like well that was a story recently, the in America, it is Doubly difficult to to actually cancel Prime to like in Europe. It's very clear. It's like a one click and in America that it's really hard to figure out how to when we cancel Prime at like it. Yeah, it was like you have to go like five clicks to find where to cancel. And then when you click cancel and push like pops up, six times, like, are you sure you want to cancel you have a 10 here, what will give you will give you this other thing. Like, and you have to, like, click through 19 times and be like, yes, cancel cancel, cancel. And then it says you've temporarily. Oh, it's your Prime. And then you have to like, cancel Prime, but like, it's really amazing. But yeah, those are great. Yeah, I like it. Anyone gonna a true feeling of irritation and want to go get going with here? Anybody feeling hot he's faced says like she's reading something, right? You're one of these four Ari. Oh yeah. You gonna be disappointed. If she doesn't get it right I'll never disappointed are you? Keep thinking I'll quickly go first this chemical recycling. Petroleum yeah, that's just a trigger for me. I just feel triggered. Deregulating plastic incinerate. I'm just, I'm like anything attached to the Supreme Court. I feel very itchy, so I'm gonna go with that one. Yeah. That's our all three of you. Yeah. Oh, that one was easy mostly because we don't care about South Korea and Samsung makes nice phones. So like our television's too, and and washing machines, and we, yeah, and that'll ship. They actually make everything pretty much. They do, they make everything because they thank God for the tables of South Korea, the family owned. I love my Samsung Battleship. I got the b2000, it's one beautiful, and with Amazon. It's, that's more funny than it is irritating. So, all right, to wrap up before we get to our predictions and who won the week. Our story of the week is the return of the heinous Tech, bro, founder cult loser jerks. The goodest story of the week is that women are killing. It at least a few are they? As hell is the week we played a game of whack a bro and unfortunately, former wonderkid Dan price, former stakeholder rules. Hero is the winner because he is a heinous human being with just miss, Marc Andreessen and hit Dan price in his yeah, bro. And irritating us. The week is the petrochemical industry are ticket, guess could be every week. But this week, really what we're mad about I think is the Supreme Court there but also, you know, both of them at the same time. And so Yeah, let's get to it who anyone who won the weekend when I want to start this one off. I don't know how you can say that. Anyone besides Adam Neumann. Well, this week. Whoa, I don't want. Are you just not care about how you feel about it? But he knows he was like he's gonna write like some book. Next about the biggest company even if he crashes. He's not balls again, it won't write a book. Absolutely. Right. That's true. This is a book. The big comeback. How it's exactly like in parks and rec he's anseris character. Does like, like how to fail and does a whole book about failing after failing. So many times, I don't know Newman Canal. Write that book like he can write the book called failing up. No, it's called everyone buy it, it will be the white bro, version of lean in. It's called fail up. I like that. We fail really problem. We don't vote. These are the only problem is that he's pretty much won every week since since failing up, and getting that billions of dollars to leave after is being relevant and when he back in the spotlight, yeah, and when he wasn't real, it doesn't matter that he was sitting on. Mounts of cash. That's not what he wants. He wanted it. I as the actor my boat. My vote here is just just because for the cheap joke is Jamie Diamond's knee. I like what? Yeah, I like when he was used, I always like when it's flexes and it gets a little dirty on the carpet at a Chase Bank. Yeah. And Midtown. So it's Jamie Jamie's knee back in the news. I like it. Totally I'm going with the finish. I'm Minister, I think that she in the most Prime minister Li Wei told people to shove it up their ass and I like it, you might be right you might be right actually. Yeah. I went totally off the beaten path here and I went with this business inside. Yeah. And Airline passenger says, she was served a bottle of water on a flight instead of the vegan meal. She had ordered I think we've actually jumped I mean we couldn't make that up, that's what that was the week for me, you know. I I don't mean I hate. I hate to go on a tangent here but I will very briefly people. You don't need to eat meals on your stupid. Flights, just maybe you maybe just fast anyway for a few hours. Just take a break from all the trouble with the five year old. This is not about a five year old and plus you can bring a little baggie of Cheerios for your five. I'm sick of all that eating on planes. Emma because they go right to the bathroom. You know, if you time the discussing businessman sitting by you you time that the interval between his gorging and going to the bathroom. It's like it's like 94 seconds. It's disgusting. I don't know why his bottle is moves so quickly. I don't need all this eating on plane just just wow fast do that. I don't want your smile. I don't want any of it. Stop it. This is a week. I love the idea that a woman was like, excuse me. I'm, I got the vegan meal and it's vegan water, whatever you, and they were like, it's, this is vegan. So I just like that that wins. I like that one, too prediction. I have a long-winded one. Yeah, I think that Matt is gonna do a 180 and get an electric muscle car. Instead of whatever, other electric car that you were playing on, getting I want, you could do vegan, Donuts, vegan, Donuts in your electric car, muscle chance. That I want a car that makes noise. I'm looking to avoid people turn the noise off when you want to be respectful to yours. That's that makes it even layer. Like, that's the lamest feature. I've ever heard of? Yeah, I'm gonna go deep conspiracy on my, my prediction after after meeting at a descent is Rogan, presidential nomination party, that's right. Santa will be his vice president. Elon Musk announces his engagement to Alex Jones. These are the two of the hot most high-profile DeSantis fans. Right now are Elon Musk and Alex Jones. So they announced their engagement but then shockingly Elon Musk relocates SpaceX from California to Florida, which prompts Alex Jones to fight the anti-wolf. Don't don't say gay law because nobody puts Alex in a corner. So, you know, it gets really confusing, but you because wow, Alex likes to say stuff and he's not gonna, he's not gonna like relocating to Florida where he can't say talk about his new gay life style. So it's just gonna and that's my prediction. That is a confusing prediction. I have no idea what happened at the end of it already. You have my prediction, is that leader this year? A coffee table book is gonna be published by the title, and Airline passenger, says, dot dot dot. And you're just gonna flip through actually. All right, that's really smart. You should do that. That's a good. That would be good. Bathroom reading all the crazy Airline You could like, what? You know, I like that. I might buy that coffee table. Absolutely. Yeah, my kids would be confused by it. I have two predictions and they're short. One. Is that Airbnb is back in the news four months from now because their party algorithm racists, Lee identifies more black people as potential Partiers. Oh yeah I mean we know that 100% know that's coming. It's really just a matter of time. So I'm saying four months I'm predicting four months is when that happens. Because if you don't take over two, if you don't take a plane like four hours away for your vacation, then you must be a party, right? I'm just like I'm waiting for worlds to collide in which a woman is served. A vegan bottle of water, the airline loses her bag, and then she gets to the Airbnb and they reject her because she's been identified as a party or and she's a black woman. I'm just waiting for the whole thing together. Please need to admit the obvious now, which is, they're just trying to root like black people out of society because every algorithm I did. That's true. Sorry, I guess. Dare you just prediction The other prediction is in California. They passed the first only say gay law as the next move in the auntie, auntie auntie, auntie, anti-walk movement, so you're not allowed to say anything about heterosexuality. They're going to go all the way the opposite direction. Only teach heterosexual or homosexuality in schools which I actually am cool with ironically but I do think it's the next. It's the next shot at Ron DeSantis for. I like this a lot. Use them because I I'm I've always been tired of the very hetero Centric. Question of asking someone, if someone else's gay so maybe we can say like we can in California, you can only say is, he's straight, he's straight, right? it's like, that's true. That's true. That's so it would be, absolutely, yeah, who do you love? So, it's gonna be I like frame. It is only a gay. Where's your man? They're gonna say, are you not gay? That's the question. He's in my new electric Dodge Charger. That's my, those are my two predictions. That's it. Art will come true. We've done it. That was Damian oralis and Emma lurking and already the data. Queen, I met Scotty we are free float media come back next week for whatever it is. We do here goodbye.
