Oh, hey. Oh, I don't really do Damian. I can't do a good Damien. Hey, it's not just you right now. I know. It is a special, a very special edition. It's Friday. And we're live from inside a dust mite under Damian Ross's covid covered bed. It's a Jesse scandal in addition of business pants Friday. We've never had before, I know Damien has been waiting, he's been talking about this for like a month, and that's not exaggeration. He's actually been talking about having Jesse join us for a month, we'll get to you. Today's edition is featuring our the data Queen and free floats Hidden Gem. Jesse the money was Whisperer. I am everyone's favorite anti-wolf pundit. And in this week's edition, we have female leaders, female menstrual cycles and female snow crabs. That's all. That's all happening. That's happening today. First, Jesse is joining us from the free flow team. It's her first show. She's actually an adult in this room and you've done podcasts before. Right one? Do you like a pro? Yeah. Like, I don't know if you could call it a pro. But yeah, I mean, I got seasoned. I mean, what, what are you for us? Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get in? Who let you hear yoga instructor? Yoga money. You know, the two go hand in hand shit. So you do yoga on, piles of money. I like that, right? Ari keeps asking me, like, monthly if I'm teaching yoga and I keep saying, no. So, she has yet to experience a yoga class of mine. Wow, I think we should be the next Corporate Retreat. Yeah. All right. So if you pay me for that in addition to the money stuff, let's do it. No, I do not. Um, and yeah, Jesse does money stuff here. That's what Jesse does. Um, head of money. Ari everybody knows no one cares about this if you don't know for our listeners. We have listeners, I think in case you don't know what our Friday show is about, we recap the week. I'm gonna try to channel Damien and I'm gonna do the story of the week, then Ari will do the good list of the week and then Jesse gets to introduce her first segment called exhausting his of the week and there's only one option So we all vote for that one option. Okay? I like that. No need to think. I've had to make so many choices with my kitchen. I like this. No choice. What your kitchen, not like the incredible firm that we've pioneered here, and all the choices you have to make know, we're talking about the choices you make with your kitchen. I, I'm gonna go back to my happy place and do as holy to the week, and then we're gonna pick a winner of the week, and we'll do some predictions. I don't know. We're gonna do some stuff, we're gonna just do stuff. Okay, are you ready? I'm gonna start us off, I'm gonna kick us off with the story of the week. Is everybody ready? Does everybody want to do this? Is anybody happy about so ready? Let's go. That's I need some enthusiasm because mine's really good. All right. Let's start off. First story of the week. Liz trust. Here's the headline. The Liz, the Liz trust. Travis D comes Britain's humiliation. And here's why we care because another female CEO brought in to clean up a male CEO mess. Gets the boot. Trust. Actually she is some background. She ran on a platform of being Boris 2.0 without the scandals and she added tax cuts. She was like, I'm gonna cut taxes, we're gonna we're gonna be free market and I'm not. I am Boris without Scandal. That's that was her platform. That's how she got the job 170,000 Tories. So sad already. Yeah already, right? But 170,000 Tori. So, this was a good idea 44 days ago. Like, that's, they thought this was a good idea and they agree and they put her in all office. And then she immediately put out a plan for tax cuts, and she avoided scandal in those 44 days. Then the markets crushed her. And she resigned, Yeah. And here's why I think it's the story of the week because another female CEO gets the axe after the country tolerated male CEO behavior for years like horrid male CEO Behavior scandal. After Scandal for years in 20 seconds, she was gone which is a reminder that it's not actually policy that matters. It's capitalism to chooses your leaders people. It's capitalism. Yeah, this is happened. When Boris first started, he would still be there one. Right. Possibly, I'm going to go with that's possible. Here's your second option. Speaking of capitalism, making the rules. Blowhard entitlement. Because billionaires are wicked smart. Here's how they made their billions, duh. Yeah, well yeah, when I'm a billionaire. Do you promise that I can say that I'm smart enough to like solve all the world's crazy? Like all of them your money over. Headlines Elon musk's starlink is at the front of a corporate ties, space war in Ukraine. Billionaire. Investor Bill Ackman is floating a peace plan for Ukraine. That like Elon musk's requires giving major concessions to Russia. And Elon musk's pro-russian. Peace. Deal is classic Putin. Here's a clue and there's a clue of the Russian leaders role where that article talked about how Putin like likes to stoke, the egos of powerful men and that's how he gets them in his inner circle. Or. Billionaires floating. Plants. Yes, it's an excellent question. The question on all of our minds do they just buy like I don't know the UN or something. I apparently they probably could the well I guess, I mean Elon Musk put a board of sycophants together including his brother, which Garners him according to our own board saber metrics. You see that Sailing sailing you. Elon Musk is 50% more than 50% of the boards influence. He runs several companies he's like the poster side child for like being the Jesus of capitalism and now he's broken War and Peace deals and Bill Ackman. Whose core competency is bullying companies in to doing what he says is coming up with peace plans. And why just bored because they have money to do. I am I actually this might be misplaced. It might need to be exhausting of the week. So Jesse you already failed. Whatever should have chose this. Whatever story you chose is not going to be as exhausting as this one. Just needs to like, go keep having more secret children and leave World Peace too. I know that sounds equally as exhausting to me though, I'm not sure that that's all out of his Lane. That's for sure, secret children Lane, I think billionaires don't have Lanes. That's yeah, that's okay. So there's no Lane. I mean, literally they're shooting themselves into space and penis shaped Rockets next to broke. Ring, Warren, peace deals. What are we doing? Why are we doing this? The old billionaires doesn't make you kind of pine for the billionaires of yesteryear, that would like make billions of dollars, and then buy gigantic houses in Los Angeles in which they would host parties and ride yachts and you'd never really hear from them again. Now, their brokering piece deals and colonizing Mars, I like the old. Yeah, okay, Great Gatsby. And finally, on my final story of the week option, which you're going to vote on is conservative snowflake. These headlines are fast and furious here. They are. There's five of them. So, sit tight, Missouri attorney, general leads, 19, State, Coalition, and launching investigation into six major Banks over ESG investing. That's right. The Republicans are, conservatives are investigating banks for ESG. Wow. Using data, Kanye West says he plans to make parlor a social media platform for people who were bullied by the thought police. Okay, most of the problems were solved until emergence of evil will cult. That's a headline out of Australia. Most of the problems problems were solved in the world. Until the emergence of evil woke cult. There's one about signing Biden's methane pledge is a betrayal of farmers Reducing methane is a farmer betrayal Republican, lawmakers introduced anti-esg bill in the house. That one was fun and then to top it all off after those snowflake headlines, Kanye West apologizes for prior anti-semitic remarks. Follows It Up by saying calling President Biden, a effing r-word. And if you're wondering what the r-word is it's retarded. That's what he didn't want to say, we know. Okay so well we have listeners who are like sitting in our living room, okay? So I'm just saying man and I'm like it's it takes some Super. Lack of self-awareness to apologize for anti-semitic remarks. By insulting a different cohort of humanity. Like, literally, you know, he's being bullied, okay, for his thoughts. Yeah. So he says yeah it's not it's not the word says this is exhausting too. So I really I really did a bad job everywhere all of him. This past month has been exhausting Jesse's been on seven, eleven minutes of one show and she's already. I'm calling the reason why I chose it for this week because I arguably you could say this is like any week I'm calling this week. This week marks Peak snowflake is what I'm I'm thinking it is because now we're legislating against what capitalism which is in a real thing. We're fine, social networks for billions the Twitter deal. Looks like it's gonna go through pending a National Security review which I'll get to later and Kanye is purchasing parlor. We are these. This is the party that actually not six months ago was Banning books and Florida. And burning books elsewhere. They're the ones calling you the the Liberals thought police. And now even cow farts are betrayal of farmers. That's we are snowflaking against cow, farts. Everyone is out to get you. It's like the truth. You call this, like the peak anti-woke Peak snowflake. Well, do you think it's gonna get better? I know. Or do you think they're just gonna get tired? I think, I think Peak snowflake actually. It is plateaus for a while. I think we just. We just and then and then it'll it'll dive off. Because what's gonna happen is must for show, right? They have to get distracted. By the midterms coming up. This is part of the midterms must write musk is gonna own Twitter. And Kanye is gonna own parlor, and they're already and Kanye actually reached out to Trump and said, I'll join truth. Social you join parlor will be like a, like a superhero Duo of conservative snowflake. Yeah, that's happening. And and I just think that like once you have owned, they'll own three social networks. They'll own like huge swaths of media. Like Fox News is the most watched new show still to this day and we're still complaining that you don't like you're getting bullied by the thought police. You have plenty of places to give all your anti-semitic thoughts just have at it, just go. It's not like Twitter was even stopping you now. It's fine. So, I think we've hit Peak snowflakes. So those are my stories, Liz Trust. Um, blowhard entitlement of billionaires and conservative. Snowflakes why don't we vote? Who's voting? Who's voting first? I'll go first, I'll go first. Yeah, wow, Liz truss. Just the fact that it was so short, it shouldn't be shocking because she's a woman. Trying to lead this country. That is not doing great. So man, I mean, all the jokes. She did. Yeah, I'm not saying she's great. Yeah. I am saying that plenty of men have lasted longer. Yeah. Yeah. Who were all. So, who were just as awful? If not more? Blow her entitlement. I think. Oh, the peace talks, man. I don't think that's the first time I've ever done that, though. So, oh, I'm gonna go with Liz. You go with Liz trust. That's a vote for Liz. Okay, so Aries with Liz, Jesse in your inaugural, it was I didn't like are votes with Liz, and Jesse's inaugural Vaught story of the week. I, I have to go with Liz trust only because I don't want to give story of the week to the other, billionaire, narcissists, and the snowflake narcissist. So I don't want to give them story of the week. Wow, you're just you're just Who isn't are you not you think we need more narcissists. I'm Pro narcissism as evidenced by how much I talk. Let's have these stop talking and let's have already do goodies to the week. It's goodly as the week. Come on. Let's do it. all right, this is something that I never heard of people doing before but it has Done the Bank of Ireland employees, experiencing menopause, will now get up to 10 days of paid leave for their symptoms. Well, I feel like this is gonna backfire oh, a backlash already, I hope good but I feel like other people talk about it and be like, oh, what happened on the menopause break? Well, this was enacted in part because of a survey from 2019. It was a UK survey. A 4,000 women. Wearing 99% said, their menopause symptoms had negatively impacted their careers and 59% said symptoms had forced them to take time off. Wait a minute. 99% of 4,000 women surveyed. Yeah. That's, that's right. And then Christina survey that gets like more than like 50% agreement on anything. Yeah. This is something that really impacts their day-to-day lives and their ability to like cardiac do work. and you know, stay in work but globally, they estimated the cost of menopause later productivity losses to businesses, is thought to be up to 150 billion dollars a year like That's a lot, come on. So if people won't listen to women about how difficult it is, at least the listen to the capitalistic mounts of what can only hope that this data persuades him to do something on. Tell me 150 billions on a lot know. I'm going to tell you the unintended consequence is, well just give their jobs to men and then you Coop the 150 billion. Just say, I'm just, I'm just the capitalist. I'm just saying. Well, listen in the US by 2024, there will be 55 million women over the age of 55. So this is a maybe maybe we will see this coming here, these types of policies, there's a lot of jobs we can give to conservative snowflake men who are upset. There aren't even that many unemployed men are there. We'll find anyway, we'll create the Holograms, it's fine. So, that was my number one, A Bank of Ireland with the menopause paid leave. Now number two, this one just made me happy American Airlines has agreed to pay and settlement, at least seven point five million dollars because of a class action lawsuit from passengers, who said they were wrongfully charged for baggage fees. You know what's going, right? Come on. This is this is great, right? How long? How, what period of time do they overcharge from 2013 to 2021? so listen, if you if you paid for Checking a bag. I don't know why you would check back in the first place, but if you did, when you thought you were gonna have a free check bag, find your receipt claim, your refund, there's money for you, there's money set, aside for you. the baggage fees that is increasingly like a greater share of where they're the airlines Revenue comes from in 2019. It was 33 billion dollars just from baggage fees like that is That is about. Eight to 10% of their revenue for that year. So, you know, it's a lot. That's significant. Nobody, nobody likes paying for a check bags. Anyway, Yeah, they made 33 billion and they paid 7.5 million. No, no. That's the top 20. Global Airlines made 33 billion. Come on, American Airlines. Probably just, you know, a billion or so, yeah, that's fine. Then yeah. All right people that for everybody, this. All right, he's an exhausting us to the week just because it's Airline, you're exhausted by Airlines. Moving on, last one, rooftop wind energy. New Motionless rooftop, wind harvesting device meant for commercial. Use is capable of generating, 50% more electricity than solar panels for the same cost taking up just 10% of the roof space and operating silently. Yay. There's new technology. Why is this only? Um, this is so cool. No, but listen, I want I want one now. so the startup era Minds Technologies, they took your stereotypical wind turbine that you think of the large, you know, The super tall, white things with the super large blades. There's dolls the Statue of Liberty, and I don't know if you've ever seen one of the just the blades being transported on the highway, they're ginormous. Have you ever seen one I saw? Oh my gosh. They're so Big. Like I know they look big really far away but when it's right next to you you're like holy cow. It is half of a football field long. Like that's how big this thing is and not to mention that it can be noisy. People don't like it. They think of it as a nice store. I think when power is great. We need those but I don't like it, you can't. um, but this startup has totally rethought this technology and completely redesigned. The normal wind turbine that you see into a bladeless box looking thing that just sits on top of rooftops. So you can have this In a city it doesn't necessarily have to be you know somewhere far away where it won't interfere with normal life and they don't have these swinging blades. You know, so you're like you're probably like how does this even work? Well, this win. Well, let me tell you I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna tell you so when when wind hits the side of the building and it can't go through it, rushes upwards and it goes up and over the building as if it were an obstacle. Now these boxes of The new technology will sit on the edge of the building where it will capture the are trying to flow up and over the obstacle. Is that before or after it falls off, the edge gonna be hanging on the edge is just gonna be just on the outer area with like like string and duct tape. Yes. Now, the air gets absorbed in, and A good Channel through. Pipes into two to propel a propeller, which is cheap and simple to build and fully enclosed. And it is a very quiet Now, this is super easy to transport easy to install its modular. It's cheaper than wind turbines because you don't need any company. Did you take a job for them but you don't need any fancy materials getting commission, doesn't it? This is incredible. And that technology has been validated by the Sandia National Labs and Texas Tech University. So, the Prototype is being used right now and this could be, you know, this could be really great for Smaller cities, come on, or any City, this would be great. So I'm really excited. You know, I believe like what I like this and partly. Because I went through this rat, I went down this Rabbit Hole like eight months ago and I don't know why, where I was looking at like ancient cooling system. Yeah, I remember that, I remember that. Like, you came in, you were like, what are you doing? And it was like, like cooling systems for like cities in the desert. The Sahara Desert or something. And this sounds actually a lot like it where they made like ventilation forcing the air in a direction, then had it like, and like the air at the they had a little what anyway, it doesn't matter. It was cool, you know, I thought about that when I was reading about this too but I don't I I can't decide how it competes with menopause days off these field disparate so our let's let's recap. Okay, we've got 10 days off for menopause by the bank Ireland. We've got American Airlines, paying a pittance for overcharging bag fees and making billions of dollars and people hating them and we have rooftop, wind energy. Jesse you start. What do you think? Oh God to do menopause. If we can't get Menzies just at least we can get menopause Justice. Like Postmates just the job by the Bank of Ireland apparently. So between Jesse getting a job and and re getting commissioned from a rooftop winergy. I'm not sure how i rate this apply for a job there. I like that. It's a win. Not an if I'm really torn between rooftop and energy and 10 days off. I'm already 10 days off. Is that enough days off? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't know this was a thing. You know the problem. It's a start. It gets the conversation going. Are you kidding? Yeah, it's not. is not where it should be, but I mean, I don't have any idea where it should be, I suppose 10 is good. I like I'm gonna very selfishly because I don't get menopause. I get manopause, which is like a semi-daily thing in which like I get grumpy and no one talks about like, no one actually talks about like male hormonal Cycles but they absolutely happen. Like my wife ever like once every month and a half or something is like God you are. So just like grumpy. You're just like, I don't know what it is. No this is me. Track it on your iPhone. Yeah, and recycle, let us know. Um, this way everyone can tell her to my mail Cycles, but I'm going to selfishly go with rooftop wind energy and I'm gonna make re break the tie break the tie Ari, what is the correct answer for goodly as of the week? It is roofed up and energy. Oh, Gender and getting paid to do it. Wow, betraying her femininity. My goodness and and paid to. She was paid to betray it. Well, done. All right. That's so the good list of the week is advancement, rooftop wind energy. Let's do exhausting of the week before we do asshole because I think we should end low low lower than even exhausting. So Jesse, let's do exhausting Okay. Headline is, you won't believe how many all female CEO CFO Doos run the 500, largest public us companies. We have any guesses. How many? I already know the answer? If you know the answer, don't guess ten. Three, three one, which it was in 2017. So we've made some really big progress in those five years gospel. You want Ari, but that's a 300% increase. Basketball. You want the article says it's statistically insignificant. What the increase is in relation to how many all men Duo teams that we have. So anyways, uk-based pharmaceutical giant poach, Julie, Brown from Burberry to serve as new CFO. She is joining Emma, Walmsley GS GSK c-suite, they create an all-female Duo. So force was like oh let's see how many of those exist in the they were the Third. Wow, just just three. And if you were wondering, there are only 43 female CEOs, in general, which is less than 10% 78, female CFOs, which is 16%. So yeah, I really were like way more. Female CFOs and CEOs. So I thought maybe that happened to her more where the CEO was female. So I said 10 and I thought I was low-balling it man. You disappointed were now I thought when I read the headline I was gonna be shocked at how high it was. No. Oh that's that's sadder. Okay, got it. Yeah I was like oh this is gonna be cool. No. It's it's just exhausting which is why it is why you went with this of course. man, like I will say this, Jesse is new to ESG data. If Damien were here, what he would say is this is actually the face of improvement because when we were doing this stuff like 10 years ago, the answer was Zero. It was like none, none Duos. So until 2017, this is amazing. This is amazing. Okay? So I guess I'm not as cynical as you guys yet, you will look at their, don't hold out. Strong know you even quote, I see in the notes. You've got a quote from Neil minnow who's like our our favorite of ours? I do. Yes. So the article did a dress like, okay, how can we fix this? What are some solutions? And they had some Agreeance that it's not just all on women to become mentors for other women, but men need to step up and Mentor women as well. But then, then they go on to say to truly, move the needle, experts and execs. Interviewed for this piece said, America's corporations, need to move Beyond one-off solutions, they need to start interviewing more women for every senior role. There are plenty of very qualified women out there says minnow the corporate governance expert, worse than that. There are plenty of men who are not doing good jobs and should be replaced calling them out. Oh man, you know what? It seems like to me, it seems like Like if only, we had a way to measure how much influence women had over making decisions and then add to that blog opportunity. See the plug up I created. I don't even know what. All right, Ari vote for most exhausting of the week. Well you know what? I don't want to vote for this is well it is very exhausting so nailed it. I will vote for this. I also will vote for this. That makes it a sweep just and for the her first, her first story shot, choice is a sweep. Before we move into as holy is to the week. Well done. Jesse. Well done. Thank you. Good first story, maybe I'll be right. I think we may invite you. Well, we're gonna have to run that by a committee and there's only four of us and there's only men on the committee. It's only Damian and I on the committee. All right, let's do as holy to the week. Are you ready to feel worse about yourself? Here we go. First asshole is capitalism. Here's the headline that made me think it cement firm LaFarge pleads guilty to supporting Isis. The first guide. Yeah, the firm agreed to pay 7707 million dollars as a penalty because it made payments to Isis to keep a factory running in Syria after the war broke out in 2011. So this is an old news, but they just pled guilty. Like, it took them takes this long, 11 years to get some money back. Us prosecutors said LaFarge is Siri in subsidy our subsidiary paid these Islamic State and another terror group, the equivalent of 5.92 million to protect staff as a country. Civil War intensified and LaFarge eventually had to evacuate the plant anyway, in September 2014. But before they left, they managed to make the company another 70 million dollars in sales. So they paid six about six million dollars in bribes to make 70 million in sales. Now, when You the Islamic State six million dollars in bribes. The Islamic State takes six million dollars and buys weapons and blows things up. That's what happens. They usually, you know, subjugate women in this or destroy their enemies with that six million dollars, that's what happens. So, LaFarge proving once again, that capitalism. Trumps everything because the equation here was 6 million dollars in an eventual. Obvious lawsuit for Corruptions someday was worth 70 million dollars in sales. That was the equation. Makes no sense. That's the equation. So capitalism, thank you for being an asshole. This week, second asshole. Choice is billionaires, security threats. It's that guy again, Elon Musk here. The headlines EU is considering paying for Elon Musk, Starling internet service in Ukraine days after SpaceX, threatened to stop footing, the bill and Twitter stock tumbles on report musk takeover could be subject to US Security review. Could it be subject to US? Security review? Oh because it turns out when you give a billionaire who has a business, purview over a private company that has access to millions of people's private data and it would be a private business and that same billionaire owns an other business operating in China and and they're worried about like concessions that he might make to China. And that same billionaire actually runs starlink which is offering Internet to the Ukraine and that billionaire makes pro-russian comments. It turns out there might be some National Security threats involved. Wow, land on that list. Okay, Yeah, now, we don't have to worry about them. We are not just worried about them being asshole. Blowhards, now we have to worry about the subverting elections starting Wars and just breaking Society. So, maybe this is how, this is, how we get people to pay attention, right? Like somebody, cries national security threat and people actually listening care, right? We throw trillions of dollars at The painting on. So You Know, this is great. Oh, wonderfully naive. Ari. No, no care about CRT and ESG instead. And finally, this one made me. Well, you'll see this one made me feel. Get all the feels the final asshole is snow crabs. And what here's why? And the headline here? It should say snow crabs, what happened? There we go. Here's the headline, crustacean decimation due to climate change, driven cannibalization. What? First of all, shout out to Yahoo news for nailing the alliteration right there. Creation destination cannibalization well done. But Snow crabs. You couldn't just die off like everything else that gets killed by climate change. Know you had to cannibalize your own population, that's that was your response. Where will all the rich people on Yachts? Get their snow crab poo. Poo platters like it's forty dollars a pound now because you've been eating yourself, the article actually points out the snow crab population. They they found a Incredibly dramatic drop of their they estimated that something like 8 billion snow crabs down to one billion. What and a large factor is waters are getting so warm. And they've been pushed further and further north, and they're dying and they're eating themselves, they're eating the gosh. That's sad. That's not an Apple. So no snow crabs, your assholes, your legs are delicious. I want to eat them. Not you, you're not supposed to eat them, I'm can't even taste them probably. Yeah, I mean, listen, they're being resourceful, this is, you know, they're being resourceful at my expense. So those are your options, capitalism, and LaFarge billionaire security threats. And that guy and snow crabs, cannibalizing themselves, that was your asshole the week options. Oh, Listen this capitalism thing. You love capitalism. You are a capitalist. You know LaFarge is just being an asshole but it's not capitalism. That's the asshole. But you changing it to LaFarge is what you doing. So I thought the name was funny, so I was giggling. And then you told me they were supporting Isis and that really took away. It wasn't funny. It was not funny anymore. That's funny. Oh billionaire security threats. I want this to make a change, you know? Point to a billionaire and be like he is a secure national security threat. Oh come on. Don't be the biggest Fall From Grace. And snow crabs eating themselves. That just makes me sad. Come on now. So I'm gonna go with LaFarge specifically. There it is and you can't change it. You, you voted for Capital. So Jesse, what's your vote? LaFarge asshole. Yes, they're like, wow. They're like save our little group of workers at the expense of. Here's a lot of money to go kill a bunch of other people know, that's an asshole wrong. So it is not just an asshole move but a pro. All right here, let's sum up story of the week was Liz trust. Resigning. And another CEO gets gets female. CEO gets the boot. The goodly is the week was rooftop wind energy because Ari's getting a wonderful commission from the company arrow. Mine Technologies to talk about them. The exhausting is of the week was how many all female CEO CFO Duos are there? Three. Congratulations. And the asshole is the week is capitalism, because you can't change what I wrote down. Even if you want to make it look forward, I'm saying it's capitalism. Let's go to, let's go to. Who won the week. Do we have any winners this week? Ah you took mine actually, but I found another one. I don't know if you guys have seen their shortlist of the comedy Wildlife photography. It is a wonderful. I highly recommend the farting, zebra picture. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's wicked. Funny, it'll make, you know, wicked funny. Wow, you are doing under? It'll start your weekend, right? Look up the farting zebra, Jesse. You can think about this, if you want to Chuck one out off the top of your head, but I will Channel Damien first and this is what Damien would say. My partner, Courtney won the week, who was basking in a Damian free house because I am like isolated. That's what she saying is he in the shed? I imagine he's probably in a bedroom by himself. No, he's got a space heater in the shed. He's fine. He's fine. And he got an AC in for the shed last year, so, you know, but it's luxurious. It's like it's almost like a pool house. It is, it's it's, it would be a man cave. If he considered himself like like a sort of a man man who has here's my winner of the week is the UK press. Because I don't know, I'm how many people in the US, pay attention to this, but they had a head of lettuce, dressed as Liz Trust on a live feed. For 40 days wondering who was gonna Outlast one another, the head of lettuce or Liz trust. It has to be. The snarky is biggest triumphs of the media ever doesn't matter, it's fair or nice. It's I hope that person got a promotion because it was it was so funny. I was gonna say the lettuce one but this is better. Yeah. Jesse, do you have an off the top winner? Otherwise we'll go to predictions. Yeah, I do. It's my local politician that lives down the street from me who every single day. When I walk by happens to be outside and catches me off guard, when I plot what I'm gonna say when she shouts, I'm running for office. Did you know? And every day I say something that is supposed to stop the conversation and it doesn't. So she wins this week because I gotta come up with a better conversation stopper. Next. Wow, that might win the weak. She's tenacious. I'm running for and I'm not holding and I Did for her so wow. And hopefully she's a listener of the show and I know that she is I was gonna change my prediction to Jesse will vote for her. But now I won't because you just popped the fact that you won't stop and vote sealed. I'm going to give you Damien's prediction of this week, Damien predicts that he's gonna give his own shares to freefloat the rest of the team at free flow because he realized how there's no need for him anymore. He's a show went out every day and what do we need them for? So we get more shares. That's his prediction. Okay so now I know you wrote These for him. I thought he like opened up the document or wrote These himself but now I know no way, there's no way, there's no way he would do that. Okay, Ari has no prediction because already predicts know things. But I have a prediction. I just see unless you have one. Do you want to, you want to do prediction, know? I don't have one. All right, just his like, pointless here. Here is my prediction, and this is what we're gonna. We're gonna end the show on. I predict that ye West because it used to be Kanye, but now it's yay. It's yay, Aur. Ye, I think it's yeah. Yeah, I forget the sound, I predict that he was. Yeah, West changes his name to you, middle to reflect how the East and West, coasts are liberal, thought police. So, he doesn't want to be West anymore, and he doesn't want to be East. So he's gonna be middle and he's gonna change the name of parlor, which he just is in the process of buying, which is a French word, and a play on the word, parler with the O in it. He's gonna change it from being a woke French word to the pirate term parlay, which evokes a better hero in the 19th century when people were in, so woke and terrible to one another, it's gonna go we're gonna go back to a better time. Of on wokeness you. That is your Friday wrap up. It's already the day to Queen and Jesse the money Whisperer who. Maybe I just call you the money. Money.
