Live. Oh tired today live from 10 room 10:07 at the mascardi luxury suites in downtown United States. Tano 7. It's a smells like Matt is on vacation again. AF edition of business pants, Friday. Featuring Ari the data Queen. I'm me, America's America's favorite root beer, coaster, and this week's episode We're forced to talk about Elon Musk again, New York City uses, its Noggin and more even more Florida related stuff so much at a Florida. How's it going? All right. Let's do it ready to it? I'm fully. How are you feeling? Are you announcing your sicknesses all week? So I feel like the audience deserves? Yeah. Thanks for that. I used, am I not supposed to reveal that? I didn't say you actually had covid. I don't mind. Okay, 2.5 years later. People, I got covid. Garona. Still testing positive. I tested positive yesterday. I guess I'll retest today, I don't know this proves your dedication to the world because even maybe with a positive test of covid you're still showing up to the Friday show. But all over. The Moon. Yeah. And all so because I'm like desperately in need for someone to join the show. With me. It's been a lonely week. It's been a week full of Elon. So yeah, here I am. Let's get to it. So we'll do the story of the week. That's me. Ari will cover the good list of the week and then I will very briefly channel. Matt, I'm not gonna go into how angry he is about things because I don't, I don't, I just don't feel that way, but I'm gonna very, very briefly Channel as holy is the week and that's strongly about anything. Yeah, I get angry, but I don't just mean strong anger. I mean, strong any type of emotion. What do you think? I'm emotionless. I don't think you get that emotional about anything as much as Matt gets angry about the church world. All right. Let's come on. Let's get to it. Tell me the story of the week. Oh, you want some very good that's for you. If you missed it, I don't know how you could have missed it. We'll start with Elon Musk. There's a lot going on in the Elon Musk world. We started off. With this incredibly insipid Twitter poll, did you see his Twitter poll about the war, the Russian, the war Russian war, in Ukraine? Yeah, yeah this in felt very Pro Russia. So much that the Kremlin praise Elon Musk and almost everybody in Ukraine, including all the way up to the president ridiculed Elon Musk for this. Did you asked her? Did I take the poll? Yeah, no, I don't know if you remember, I don't know why you would care. But back, when Elon Musk threatened to buy Twitter, I actually deactivated my account, because I've said, many times Twitter, depresses me, every time I go in there and I needed a reason to quit it, and that became my reason. So, yeah, I don't do Twitter anymore. Yes. So the ambassador to Ukrainian ambassador to Germany even went as far as to tell to tell Elon Musk the richest man in the world to fuck off. Those are the actual words they use fuck off. So that's the world. We live in Ari. So that's where the week started. But then hours later. Elon Musk told Twitter that he suddenly willing to buy the company at the original 44 billion dollar deal after months of trying to get out of it. Like all the anyone can figure out is that he realized that he lost and he didn't want to go through the court case and he just gave him. Do you think the poll was just part of this whole ploy? Assigning logic to this man doesn't work anymore for me. I I asked like a he reminds me of like some of my friends in Middle School just asking out. Yeah, they just sort of Acts irrationally. I mean, you know, I if I was a misogynist and he was a woman, I would label him as being Overly emotional and irrational but I'm not, but I'm none of those things. So I'll label him as overly emotional. I don't know, I don't have to tell you, I don't know. so what happens now, he's saying he's gonna do The OG deal. He just Twitter, just go through with it. This is everybody can say, okay, let's do it. So the court case has been paused, the judge has given them an extra three weeks to work out the deal. I've heard some Rumblings that Twitter is not completely satisfied with something, but I I think they're just kind of working out the details. It sounds like it would just go through as planned. I'm sure they'll be more curveballs. I won't be, I can't be this easy but maybe it can be, I don't know. I here's the thing. That scares me the most maybe, you know, something about this. Elon Musk is saying that buying Twitter. Now, will accelerate the creation of his long discussed everything app called X. He's trying to create and everything app. Which is has a scary name of X how he feelings about this. So this is an app that you go into and you can choose to integrate every Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, tiktok everything, maybe everything, maybe maybe your iPhone, I don't know that. You have an iPhone. I'm guessing you have an iPhone. Maybe your phone will have one app and it'll be X. I don't, this is, I don't. I don't think this will go out with anyone, people have different personalities and they kind of treat each one of those things differently. Putting it all into one, I don't see that working but then again I have not the richest person on Well, one thing Elon Musk has done very well over the last few months is really polarized himself. He seems now be the people on the right. Conservatives Libertarians trumpies. DeSantis people really seem to like him. People on the left are starting to hate him including now all of Ukraine. So, you know, in the Kremlin Praises you. It's very awkward. So the everything at probably won't be used by everybody. So, was what I'm guessing because again, his his very, let's call it risky. CEO behavior is starting to, I think, come back to, this is gonna be the next app for Donald Trump. That's what you're saying. Well, that's the thing. That scares me the most, if you want to get into the political discussion, is that this opens the door, of course, for Donald Trump to return to the Twitter platform. Yeah, so get ready for that fun. Another reason I'm glad to have quit Twitter, that's the first story of the week is everything. Elon Musk. Number two, President Biden has done some fun things this week. I should say, meanwhile, someone still trying to do things despite people not really liking Biden. I still don't really understand that. I like him just enough. I got no, I like him. I like him. And because he does things that we've always sort of wanted, and he doesn't really seem to get much praise for it. Here's one thing he did this week parting, thousands of people with federal marijuana conviction and trying to get states to do the same thing. So basically said he said in the statement that no one should be in jail, just for for using or possessing marijuana. So again, he's I'm not seeing a ton of praise for this but it's courage states to Same as if the red states are going to do this true but he's the president, he's in the federal government, he can't tell the states what to do so, but still, this is something that people have been begging for for a long time. And yet again he's not really gonna get much praise for this for some reason because he's old I guess I don't know. That's why people hate him because he's old, I don't really understand any of it. He also wait, I have a question. Yeah. Why didn't he do this two years ago? I'm not. This is great. This is, I don't know, I'm just wondering right? Because it's a presidential part and he could have done this while on the toilet year ago. You know, here's the thing I don't understand about Paul's, and here's my guess, is that maybe they take some time to create the pulses. Maybe they kind of, listen around to make sure that people won't be too angry. Maybe they, they released them one by one and it helps them during election cycle, right? Because politics is more than just Paola sea. And more than just enacting laws, it's about power and staying in power and winning elections. And so this seems like a great play for young people, right before an election. I would think guess. So. All right. Yeah. I don't know. The other thing, the White House did is that they are talking about. They proposing a new Bill of Rights to protect Americans from AI harms. Oh, you're about this? No. And AI. Bill of Rights? Yeah. Is it by AI? That's yeah, that's a great question. The blueprint is a set of non-binding guidelines. Unfortunately non-binding guidelines like the bill, right? I know or suggestions providing a national value statement in a toolkit to help lawmakers and businesses build the proposed protections into policy and products. But again I will say this, something else that we've been screaming about complaining about for a long time, is that finally, at least pushing it in the right direction. Like we're waiting, we're waiting for our politicians to do something about the social media, and the eye, and the meta, and the socks. And so, at least he's getting something started. I'll give him some credit for that. Yeah, this is cool. This is Cool. Maybe there'll be a constitution. To point out now. Finally, the third big story. The week is one for us. This is the ESG, Wok data, kind of category. And that's it. This is a depressing one. This is at a Morning Star. Average CEO pay is now 399 times more than a typical worker's wage. Actually our new sponsor s gauge Wednesday, Paul Hodgson from s gauge. He's actually a compensation expert has been for decades CEO compensation expert. He looked into the five highest paid CEOs, and looked into some of the background in this. So stay tuned next week. He's gonna do the numbers 6 through 10. He's looking at the highest paid CEOs in their compensation packages. More data about this re is that disparity between CEO and worker, pay is even more staggering America's low wage companies. So at 300 low wage companies, CEOs made an average of 670 times more than their workers. I don't get that divide like that just makes me feel extra depressed. And finally, a bit of tidbit for you because you're the data Queen for some reason again. So this study looked at the 300 highest paid CEOs. Their data is saying that the CEO pay is now 399 times more than the typical workers wage. But for some reason they excluded Elon Musk from this, Because he is an extreme outlier after he exercised 24 billion dollars in stock options last year. So this number doesn't even is that when he hit a Target, that nobody thought he was gonna hit. Or is that? Yes, it's like a market cap, share, price Target and maybe, you know, something about this. I get it's an outlier. But why would you exclude it? I don't understand this that's behind because if you include it it's gonna skew your number so much that. So what people who are trying to poke holes at your message, are going to have a very easy way in Well then this is my excluding this person. You make that three 99 more real and harder to. Yes argue. I don't agree. I think it's part of the same pile of CEO cash. Well I don't think what happened. With Elon 2021 is enormous, is it? It's not they again they're calling extreme outlier but you know one thing we've learned about CEO pay, is that everything is a precedent like every year that it goes up means that some other company is going to figure out how to make it. Its CEO pay go up and then it all goes up because up every year year after year after year that just keep copying each other. So you I think you're going to probably see other CEOs eventually with extreme outlier people. Is the 300 low wage companies? Made on average 670 times more than their workers. Look at that. Like 300 low-wage companies, that's crazy. Is there like a fully complex when your company is a lot of low-wage workers? I guess it's a pretty overt statement that they don't think that those low wage workers have any power really and that can get away with. Yeah. Get away with abusing them, right, is it? I can't even believe there are 300 low wage companies. Why don't we need low wage companies to begin with? I don't, these are probably the workers that whose livelihoods are being subsidized by the government because even though they have jobs, they can't cover all their costs. So these CEOs should get the crap tax out of them. Thank you. You know why don't we get rid of low wage companies have living wage companies. All right? Those are your three stories. Are you everything? Elon, Musk. Biden doing some things and the ever-escalating disparity and CEO to worker pay. So you really only vote, you get to decide, did anybody predict? Or maybe you did Damian that elon's gonna come back and be like, I'll take it. I have to look back at our predictions. We know, we never look back at our predictions. I think it's time. I'm going to call this. Maybe, listen to me. Um Biden. You know about time. That's good, that's great. I like it. Um, the CEO pay is bananas but I think I'm gonna go Sadly with Elon, I think you got it. I mean, I know Elon Musk seems just like a celebrity soap opera at this point but he is the CEO of Tesla's. You have SpaceX, he's the richest man in the world. I mean, from our perspective re he's very important in our world, right? So yeah. Yeah, so we have to talk about him. We're not just talking about him because he's celebrity, we have to talk about him because yeah, he's a big part of our boards paper metrics. So childish, you know, like he was gonna lose and he's like, oh, take it. Sorry if you. Want to be extra pissed off today for some reason and you haven't looked into his stupid, Twitter poll about Ukraine. Go look at those stories. It'll really irritate you. All right, that's it. That's the story of the week. Elon Musk. Buying Twitter pissing off Ukraine. Let's go to Ari good leader of the week. Come on, I got you. What do you got? Are all right, here we go. Apple will have to switch to USB C chargers for iPhones from 2024 after EU vote. But is this the beginning of the end for the core drawer? The EU is coming after your cord drawer. So thank you. The EU Parliament approved, new rules, that require Universal port for Alex Electronics. Who hates, you know, Universal anything more than Apple does like since its Inception. Yeah, it's like their um we have a thing here. we ever thinking here in Portland, Maine, where you have to buy your own, you have to buy trash bags from the city of Portland, this kind of, like a It's kind of like, a covert. Tax like a garbage tax. And that's what that's how I always thought about Apple and their court and their Chargers and the courts, right? Because it's kind of like a secret extra secret, way to make you keep paying Like an apple tax for all your stupid Apple products, right? Yeah, it's Because I live in a house where half of people use Androids and we can't even, we can't even share and it's absolutely ridiculous. I mean I like to match you can't mix and match and and we're joking about it, but it's hundreds of dollars, it's hundreds of dollars, right? And it's not only that they're brand, it's part of their brand, they're exclusive Club at school, right? It's like, oh sorry, it's true. But the rules that the, you Parliament approved, explicitly say that manufacturers must do away with proprietary ports, like the lightning port, And this covers, you know, phones tablets, but also things like cameras speakers, all your small and mid-sized electronic devices. I think computers are next, but they're not there yet. However, some tech journalists already talking that you know this is been a thing that the EU has been talking about for a couple years and they predict that Apple will Switch to usb-c at the last possible minute and they will make money from the dongles. They will sell, like the little adapters until that point. No, from that point on, they will make so much money from the accessories, the adapters, right. Because it's this little tiny thing that cost 50 cents that they will sell for 30 dollars that they're apples store, right? So they will wait till the last minute to switch in order to maximize their accessory selling. But In the end. At least we'll have you Universal USB seized for everything. So this is good, I'm good until we get records all the same and then everything's just one giant electromagnetic charging thing and then this rule doesn't even matter anyway but for the time being it's great. I agree with that. I do agree. I think the one thing to look back at many years from now, when we're all gone is The one thing to laugh at us for our generation are is that the amount of courts? They're gonna be like, what was wrong with these people? That what, why could they figure this out? Because it's true. Not only have chords over my house, but I have like boxes of them in my basement. Yeah. Right. Right. Are you gonna go down there and look for one you're probably gonna go to, you know, the store and get a new one because you're never gonna be able to find one anyway. Number two, number here, New York City to use vacant newsstands as hubs for food. Delivery workers. I love this one, I love. So we've heard, you know about it all the stories about Food delivery workers. How overworked underpaid, you know, tip based. Nobody tips them. Assault, all the terrible things. However, Something about this specific gig work that doesn't get mentioned, is that when they get a break, they didn't really have anywhere to go whenever they where could they go? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So their employed, you know, by doordash and Uber Eats and whatever other company. But it's not like there's a central location for them to hang out or I don't know. Do anything during their business hours. So, New York City, the first in the country, There are 65,000 delivery workers in the city and they're called Delicious, By the way, because it runs deliveries, okay? So great. And there's a space, vacant newsstands, and other vacant. Things that are not. Being used that they have found a way that to give a new life and food. Delivery workers in theory, would be able to go there. Get a break charge, their e-bikes charge their phones. If it was 2024 that only one kind of charger, Well, a good news is that these these new hubs will have both Chargers all right. Great. It's the first tree, they're gonna spend a million dollars doing this. It's already in the budget and only a million. Well that's all it takes you stands. Yeah it's incredible. It's like only a million dollars and you're providing all this for 65,000 over overworked delivery status. Yeah. I, you know, they should tax doordash and whatever Uber Eats to get masseuse in there, something make it I'm a fan of that, too. All right, I can be, I Can Dream a girl can dream. Okay. All right, number three. Number three. America's first solar power town with a hurricane success. Story. Yeah, was hurricane story. Knows last week hurricane Ian 4 million people in Florida lost power except there is this town called Babcock Ranch. Babcock Ranch. It's a town in. Southwest Florida. Yep. And this is a town that was planned and built, right? So I love it. It wasn't you know, here in New England you have all these towns are already existed for, you know, a couple. Yeah, it's kind of hard. This one was just start plan and built and their focus was on sustainability and renewable energy. So much. So, I mean, this sounds like a joke but they have a tagline and it is life powered by the Sun. It's true. It's true. I guess in this case, right? They take their Florida identity, a little too far. I mean, it's hard to argue with that tagline. I mean, that's pretty much, oh, everything right. The Earth, right? They probably have a town flower and it's a sunflower and you know all the things. Anyway, they were on the path of Ian. And while four wheeling people lost power, this town did not. And some of the steps that we're taking yeah, alright, go them. Some of the steps that we're taking during the planning process where that the streets were designed to minimize flooding. Oh my gosh, The town was built above the storm surge area. The Fieldhouse at the high school doubles as a storm shelter. And this last thing is something I have been advocating for to happen here in Northeast and it is to bury the cables, the electrical cables, the internet cables, think about it. If the state put a ton of money like this is a social Works program right here, that we need, how much money do we spend? Freaking fixing those cables? Every time a tree gets knocked down. Anyway, I like, it just sounds to me that when Florida gets wiped out, this town is going to be an island. Persevere. They will survive. And this is why it's so important for town planning, like City Planning, urban planning. This is, this is your test case, right here. I'm calling this an ESG success story. This is a woke success story. This is the best thing that's come out of Florida and I don't know how they're We're so caught up in fighting each other that it won't happen. There were still thousands of people without power as of Tuesday, like I don't know what county, what city you are. But look to this town and be like how can I retrofit my current town to be more like this town? Because I don't want to be without power for that long. All right, I don't understand Humanity. I don't understand why, why is it more manly and Macho to rely on energy that comes from the earth? And it is the energy that comes from the sun. Like what what's happening? What's the difference? I don't understand anything really? I don't get it. Kudos to this town of 2000. Thank you, arag. A good list of the week, Apple have to switch its charges. Universal Chargers, New York City to use vacant newsstands as hubs for food, delivery workers and ESG success story in Florida. America's First Solar Powered Town doesn't lose power during the hurricane. I mean, these are all great. I like all these actually honestly, which is unusual for me, usually, I can I can easily poke holes in all these first of all, I just applaud the EU. It does sort of constantly try to punch back. Try to punch up, I should say like it's kind of like the biggest stakeholders capitalism addicted at this point and I'm, and I'm thrilled that they trained, but it's steady and it doesn't stop punching. Yeah, slowly I'm kind of amazed at this. I'm amazed that it worked. Amazing was successful, I guess. We'll see. Maybe Apple will try to figure out how to fight it. They have two years left. I have no idea but I'm just amazed at this. And again, it's to me, it's a Shining example of what can happen here with our stakeholders, our shareholders that they too can fight for things like this. The Second Story, I love everything about it. I love, I love when cities states, whatever government I love when they reuse something that has has gone away in a very simple way to help so many people, and it was so cheap too. According to your stats. Yeah. And I also love any programs that pay attention to the hard work and people that basically make our world run because I don't know if you've been to New York recently. I know a lot of our listeners live in New York City, but the city is the pulse of that City essentially is all the hardworking people who are doing things like giving delivering your food, right? So those are the absolutely the people that need to be paid attention to and that to think about not even having a place to take a break, is just Matt. It's like Maddening to me. So, I just love this story from every perspective and the last one, too. I again, like anytime we can find ESG success stories like this. It's kind of like a mic drop moment, right? It's just like, look, this is we're not. This is not about politics for us. This is not about any we're not trying to take away. Anything that makes you feel like a man. It's just like, we're just trying to create solutions for the future here because this is the world we live in. So so anyway, I I like all three stories but I gotta vote for I gotta Vote for This New York City. I like hubs, for food, delivery workers. It's a class of worker that people don't pay enough attention to. So I just, I just like it. Nice. I really have no idea which way you're gonna go. You don't get the vote. Sorry, I don't. Get, what would you? Vote doesn't count. But what would have you voted for? think I would have voted for the poster child of City Planning. Yeah, it's a good one too. It's true. Okay, that's good news of the week. Let's go to as holiest of the week. I'll present three stories from the perspective at Scotty. But again, I'm not gonna not gonna channel the anger. I'm not gonna go into a long-winded, filibuster that Mr. Like I'm just gonna stay quickly, the stories and move on. Here we go. Are Airbnb's, refund policy specifically excludes hurricanes in Florida because they are common enough to be foreseeable. Hell, is that I love this? What are you calling this terrible week? This is great. Are you kidding really like if you're gonna go vacation Florida, that's on you, man. That's that's, that's sick. I'm sorry, but first of all common enough like it's a few, you know, it's like a handful year and this one, Changed directions, really quickly, like, and gained power and strength in, like hours. So Airbnb of no idea what you're talking about. This. Not like you can predict the hurricane, six months in advance. The years, you are cheap and stupid. That's the first one. Second one black rock faces. More ESG. Fallout as Louisiana pulls 794 million dollars. The state treasurer sighted, blatantly anti-fossil fuel policies. I don't want to talk about this. This is the mascardi area, but I wanted to present this because I know he'd presented, but if you want to talk about it go ahead but I've got nothing to say here. You want to talk about it? Whatever Louisiana does we should do the opposite. Okay, yeah, again, this is just become political theater. So I don't ya, I number three, as always the week Norwegian Cruise Line, Cruise drop drops covid, vaccination testing and masking mandate. I got to be honest with you are I haven't traveled in a while. I actually been on a plane covid boat covid. Positive. Only. I know that you have traveled a lot since the pandemic, I have not been on a plane. Since the pandemic started tell me. Like, what is it, like, on planes now? Anyway, what is it like an airports? Do they make you do anything anymore? yeah, you know, when I had to go to Canada for when was Emily thing, I was up, this was Two, three months ago, it was when the US dropped its mask mandate. I was flying back when that happened and I remember, I was in Canada, and they still had mask mandates for the airport and for the airplane. So, everything was normal, you know, just put on your mask, we got in the air and as soon as we landed, like, we weren't even off the plane before we were taking their masks off and then we deep planed in I was in Atlanta Georgia and I got into the airport and felt like a different world. No one was wearing masks. It's like nothing and I was there for four hours being like this, how I get covid. But that was not in fact, how I got covered, right? Did you take a mask off in Atlanta know? I haven't asked on know, at all times. So okay. it's just I find this hard to admit, but I have found myself taking more and more risks recently, and I think it's mostly, this is the part that's hard for me to me. I think it's mostly peer pressure. But nobody's telling you to do or not do something. No, I know. But I This is a way Society worked like sometimes you just don't want to stick out, you don't want anyone to look at you, you don't want to be noticed, you know this but hey I haven't. This is not my husband said and I don't understand. Like I don't care about being noticed or not. I'm just gonna do my thing and just yeah, you got covid and I so far I'm like the only person left who hasn't although I feel because my roommate got covid. Oh sure, whatever. All right, so maybe no Regent Cruise Lines. Not so unusual. I don't know. I included it here because again, I was just channeling. Matt, I thought that would want to yell at them. You're getting riskier and riskier. Why don't you book your trip or Norwegian Cruise Lines? No thank you. Those are the three assholes the week. These didn't really seem to impress you very much already. So I mean the tablet the Airbnb refund policy. It's great. That's not an Asshole. I feel sad for you. That you think that's great. So what would you vote for her or do you want to make up your own? I'm gonna vote for Louisiana because Louisiana got they are the true jerks you know for yeah. State Treasurer sites blatantly anti-fossil fuel policies. Oh my God. Yeah. And as BlackRock pointed out and as Matt pointed out a few weeks back that BlackRock actually invests billions and billions of dollars into fossil fuel, the fossil fuel industry. So none of that is actually real, there's no blatantly anti-fossil fuel policies. Going on a black rock, I mean it's unusual for me to to support Black Rock but they actually are one of the biggest owners of fossil fuel industry. So I don't know what Louisiana is talking about, right? They should be supporting them. Yes. All right. Let's finish this show. Let me again, let me wrap up. What we pick Story the week, everything Elon Musk goodly. So the week, New York City adapting. The newsstands into places for delivery workers to chill out and maybe get a bagel. And the asshole is the week is Louisiana for pulling its money out of Black Rock. Who won the week Ari? Who won the week? Oh, I got a good one. So this week the Nobel Prize winners were announced and for chemistry Yeah, people were awarded. This one of them was a woman. And it was for their click chemistry. Chemistry was just so satisfying to read about it and they devised a way to click molecules together like Lego bricks even inside living organisms. Right. So this New way of being able to click these molecules will be used for things, like targeted, Cancer Treatments, where the treatment will be able to click onto the the cell, the specified cell and it's just so cool. And satisfying. Click. Yeah, amazing how? I wonder how quickly we can politicize this and we can turn it. Oh, okay. Your winner of the week was way better than mine are my butt. My butt, the good news is that my winner of the week. Also included the word. Click, no. Seriously, I I have proof of this because I wrote it down before my winner of the week is the clickbait media, because Elon Musk returned this week, I feel like we've had a break from him for at least a month, but they must be thrilled. So many Elon Musk headlines. So, even even headlines about his ex-wife texting him, and oh, I didn't even go into all the texts. I actually did a show on it this week already. But because of the court case, Twitter and they got a hands on all the texts, going on between Elon Musk and all this billionaire and CEO buddies, I didn't even get into that but there was one that they highlighted about his ex-wife saying that you have to defeat woke his I don't know what's going on. It's a mess. That's my winner at the clickbait media. Yeah. Mine was way more. Satisfying. Yeah. Yours was better. Predictions are. Yep. And you know, I'm gonna go back to Elon Musk for this one. But I don't know how he hasn't done this yet. I believe he will get in the business of planning building. Owning towns full of fans. You know, the Babcock Ranch thing. Fans. Like people worship Him, okay and he will steal the tagline life powered by the Sun, but the sun will have a picture of his face inside it, because he is the son. Oh my God. According to him. All right. That's probably the most. I think the covid is opening up a Creator portal in your brain. And covid-19. And, and by the way, I appreciate that. You were wearing a Biden sweatshirt today because it were synergistic. Today we're walking, I only, I like to let my listeners know that I only bought it because it was Harris too. That's okay. It's okay. I mean, I can only see the Biden part in a story about buying, I was gonna feel silly, reading my prediction after your great prediction. But actually again I feel like we're supporting our brains are melted because listen to my prediction now that you've heard yours listen because I already had the one of the most brilliant predictions ever and I listened to my prediction. Again, I'm not just making this up, I wrote this down earlier. Matt does not come back to the company. Ari becomes CEO. Fires me for using slack wrong. Then fires Jesse for using Google Drive wrong and then pre fires 10 graduates from Wharton because they use the Microsoft Excel filter wrong. So there so are you becomes the dictator ruler of free flow with nobody to dictate apparently. Well, you know, you're not going to need to because you'll just control it. If you'll be like Elon, you'll be you picture of your face in the Sun. Play the music. One of you say goodbye to everybody. Oh, alright, goodbye. Now, you do it. You can't just bring this. No, I don't want to buy. Thank you for listening next week. What's happening next week? Will be around more corporate theater, more Paul Hodgson from ska or first sponsor skate, definitely more, Elon, more, Elon, more everything and maybe like, we're finally gonna get Jesse to come on the show. I've been wanting to get Jesse on the show. One of these shows, but she's still doesn't have her equipment set up, but I think that's an excuse. So maybe we can Coercer on. All right, that's it. Bye. Thanks for listening. Anything else? Nope. Bye.
