Business Pants – 2022-11-10

Pill. Can I talk now? Yeah. Yeah. Production is your mat. You've mastered. I could talk that was a joke from your ESG CD collection. It's a stupid game Thursday here at the. We make ESG stupider Studios. Oh, that's, that's all good yesterday. It was the ESG sock drawer. And we loved ESG. Are you allowed to talk before I introduce you? I don't, we gotta work this out joined today by not only our BS correspondent has already spoken. But our money Whisperer. Yeah, the Scandal. So want to call you. I so want to call you scallion, but I think contractually I'm not allowed to, well, I don't know. Calling the, the Scanlon the money Whisperer also. Feels like we're scamming people, too. There's a lot of gaming. She just admitted to me that she has a CPA or was that what it's called? The CPA. Yes, yes. So she's just super pretend. I don't like you. Matt. What do you have? I made a t-shirt on Etsy that says be like You die. That's the real qualifications. I in today's sticky, sweet. ESG, flavored bag called November 10th 2022, an extremely timely and awesome and idiotic ESG news quiz. Right. Should we do this thing? Damien in fact on board why don't we play maybe we should play for Etsy swag? Okay. For all the royalists for our loyal listeners. They know already that Matt's gonna win because that's what he does on these stupid quizzes. But yeah, why does this matter? How about this? If you win, you get nothing because we'll just hate you even more but if Jesse wins We give her. Some doesn't she want? Like, what do you want? Just like a hat. What did you want something? I just like a t-shirt or something. Just a teacher. Not we afford that Matt. I'll we'll dip you. I'm the one to ask it. I feel like she already won by that, by saying that. Well Ari still owes me from last year and from March sadness and for I'm owed a lot of stuff. So I just here's what I did to me. I looked at all of her 100s of headlines over the past few days and I put them into a stupid quiz. These are all ESG. All yes, she had lunch everything. You you hear hear you probably could find in your favorite ESG, profile, your favorite corporate profile. It's all here. It's all there. All right, that made it. Sound really boring didn't? Yeah. Now, literally, I just zoned out want to leave. All right, let's do this thing. Here we go. Multiple choice. And I'm gonna say, I I tried to, I know, Matt like to read my mind, but I tried that. I ran the question to answer through a generator, a random generator I tried to do this, right try, mostly what I want, is already in his head. Stop, I know, here we go. Let's play question number one. All right, the former CEO of Fitness bike maker Peloton just so you look like a Peloton owner. Are you a Peloton owner? That's seems like an insult but does, or does it mean that I look fit if so I'll take that. That's a good. That's true. I like how you twisted that into that. John Foley, former CEO of Peloton, will now be selling what? Is it rugs? Drugs. Bugs or hugs and I can give you a little bit more detail. There rugs are affordable, rugs drugs are Siloam magic mushrooms bugs are a protein alternative and hugs as a Telehealth therapy. What's he selling, Jesse want to go first. What's he selling bugs? So, protein alternative, everyone knows how much I love deep fake meat here. I love fake meat, but you see what Damien set you up to do here? Feels the closest to what he's done, right? Like what I was suicide and I was debating. Those are both kind of the alt wellness world but that's what I'm assassin. Colorado close to Peloton, right? The other ones are rugs and hugs. Now, you can't sell hugs right and Telehealth therapy. Yeah, there's no way he's gonna be selling that because like no one would go that guy for Telehealth. It's got to be rugged. It's by process. Some elimination. Wait, I'm going? Yes. So why can't he still tell her related like company? Pilaten is like health and Nutella health and like protein Alternatives. He's going to the point of this choice, is it so absurd? As to be comical, it has to be rugs by Prosperity, selling hugs. Because if this is a photo of him, look at his shirt, XOXO hugs right on there. That's true. So, Jesse's going with bugs and Matt's going with rugs. I hate you, Matt. It's you. I hate I hate this guy. I really do hate this guy. What can I do? What can I do to avoid this? I just I just picked three things that rhyme with rug. That's all I did. I was doing any other game other than that. Yeah, he's just selling. He's selling affordable rugs. That's what he's doing. Rugs rugs. Because he are they machine washable. I've seen a lot of those businesses pop up. They're probably trash if they're affordable. North people who can't afford a nice rocks. He's probably selling subscription rugs in which you get the rug and then you get a subscription to an app where the people talk about, how nice your rug is for 27 dollars a month. And then, when you're done, you have a bad rug that makes you feel bad. I wasn't listening, It Was preparing for the next question. Here we go. Number two, Come on, who wants to go for may Allah? Matt, you go first. This is at a Grist, okay? Grist. You know, Grist. I do vaguely extreme heat. Responsible for hundreds of what? In Texas. Prisons, hundreds of what in Texas prisons. Is it scorpions? Deaths. Rattlesnakes or cases of early. Onset dementia. What is extreme? Heat responsible for in Texas? Well, they're good at building walls and I'm going to say they can keep out the Scorpions and the rattlesnake's. However, you can go, they can't go under walls or through walls or over scale walls. Yeah. Well, the thing is, Damien, would choose score play the quiz because he, because one of them is correct in the other one is wrong, right? Like, it's almost like a trick question. I'm gonna guess it's not dementia. And deaths would be too obvious. I'm gonna go with Scorpion's Jesse then I'm going rattlesnakes. I think they can. Yeah, well, You know, I'm sad because I'm I'm actually rooting for Jesse. Which is obvious. I mean, why wouldn't not just because we like Jesse but just because, you know, we don't like Matt, but no, they actually the answer is deaths extreme heat. So his responsible for hundreds of deaths in Texas, prisoners, absolutely terrible bonus question, what percentage of Texas's nearly 100 prisons, lack air conditioning, They won't just give me a guess. 90% know. It's it's not gonna be that high. I go with like 60%. Matt of course right on the know it's basically two thirds of Texas two. I mean what it's unspeakably all the time like not like right now they're recording temperatures as high as 149 degrees in Texas. People don't do business with Texas anymore. Honestly what are you doing? Like shouldn't we we should stop divesting from companies and divest from States. This is where Elon Musk moves all his companies about the way and Twitter's probably next and it's gotten worse everything he does has gotten worse. You just covered 17 recoil what this year. I also have inside information that Jesse just went on vacation and it was not to Texas know. This is true. See how that works there Matt. Hi I see what you did there. No. All Right Moving On. Matt up 1-0. Unfortunately, here we go. Number four. Actually, I should probably give him at a point for it's like three a right. Number four. Keurig Dr. Pepper Said, CEO, ozone. Doc, machla resigned after violating the company's code of conduct and replace by executive chair, Bob, Gabor former CEO. What were the violations? He resigned after only four months. So I'm asking you what were the violations before I give you the options, let me all so add that ozone, abruptly left, the Krispy Kreme board, only two months ago after only two years of service. So guys blowing up blowing up, he was doing it. Yeah. So what did he violate? Was it Undisclosed relationship with someone on the leadership. Team incorrect information on CV. Did not finish MBA degree program. Good one was using Keurig infrastructure to run a private business. Or D. The company did not disclose the violations. Who's up? Who's first last time? Matt did Jesse. What do you think? What do you think he did off your only four months at a major publicly traded Corporation? He's out four months. when I go with using Keurig structure for a personal business, I hope that one's true because that sounds good. That one. I'm gonna go with um, all of them are so plausible. I think he, but if the pattern holds, right, don't they resign for person like that? They were resign for violating the code of conduct and then six months later you find out that it was because they had sex with like inappropriately, okay. So like the initial resignation of this happened and it's news would be they didn't say anything. They just said like we apologize. I'm gonna go with nothing D. The company did not disclose the violations. Yeah. Hello, Jesse. Unfortunately he's right although that's always do but Jesse you might be. Alright well we'll find out. Yeah that's that's what we're gonna find. Everyone is to slow down for a second that the CEO of a publicly traded Corporation stepped down to the violating, the company's code of conduct. And the company said, nothing, they how are they allowed? Not to disclose this? The former CFO ozan stepping down. How are they allowed? I don't get this. I tell us. Is it woke to know why he stepped down after four months. The two woke or something? Well, I wanted to know who who's on the board of directors. Yeah, we'll have to look into that that's for next week. What is what it's going on their bonus question, which executive is bald? Is it the former cure now former Keurig, Dr. Pepper CEO ozan? Or is it the former CEO and current CEO at which is pretty confusing. Bob Gambler, there's a picture up there that Matt just posted. If you're, if you're watching along, I know, you're not which ones ball. Is it the one who just got fired or is the one that's coming back, who's Bolt? I mean, Jesse. But we have to agree that the name ozan sounds like a bald guy, doesn't it? Like a game Gort? Doesn't sound like anything except for maybe a Klingon. So I'm gonna go with ozan although he sounds like a Klingon too. Yeah, that's ozone. Yeah, I don't know if this one I'll be, I'm gonna be honest I don't know if this one would be in your ESG profile, I don't know baldness is yet as much as I want it to be. It should be. Let's be honest about that. You know, there's just solution of testosterone and baldness the higher, the testosterone. Yes, the more bold you'll be yeah. And before you join the company, Jesse we did a new story in. I I even hate saying this a lot but in the UK they they what was it? Matt. If you if you called a colleague ball the form of sexual harassment. Remember. Yeah, there was a yeah there was a right to laugh. Just there was a guy who was a manager who was called by another guy. A bald c word. And was sued not for calling him. The c word, which is basically sexual harassment but for Christmas any woman around an earshot of that that feels like harassing. They do throw that around though. In the, this is in the UK. Yeah. They do. Like they are friendly towards that word but but a judge. All right, the way it works. Is like there were three magistrates. I think it was two of them were bald ruling on the case and ruled that ball is a sexual harassment. I mean, I from what I know bald people get really hurt by or really insecure so I don't. Wow wow. Where's Emma? Feeling comfortable with this conversation? Let's move forward. I'm not wearing a hood because I'm bald. I'm just kind of cold today. All right, here we go. Number six, number six in our stupid ESG, stupid ass question. Are we the only ESG news, business news company that provides stupid quizzes. Matt, do you know have you looked this up? I have the steps. I got the paper, I have the paperwork right here and it says Yes. Okay. All right. Number six, why? There's nothing called. There's something called wed bushes, best ideas. Stock pick list. It's a big. It's a big stock lift. What? He wishes, best ideas stock. Pick list the big list and the investment world don't laugh. Please. Why did Tesla just get booted from this list? Just happened. Was it because of yet another recall, Tesla has issued 17 recent 2022, covering over three, three million cars know? Is it because the stock has been tarnished by Elon musk's ongoing Twitter, train wreck disaster. Is it because there's yet another lawsuit. This one just announced 15 black, former or current employees at Tesla far to lawsuit for racial abuse and harassment. Or is it because Tesla just missed another quarterly Revenue. Expectations. I'll tell you things that investors care about, that's going first. Yeah, go ahead. And what they don't care about is discrimination lawsuits recalls or losing one quarter. When you're, you're CEO is supposed to be a Visionary genius. What they do care about is that Visionary, genius, not actually showing up for his job, because he's too busy buying, another stupid company and doing a bad job over there. It's the Twitter thing. But why then why doesn't the board care why I'm says there's no bored? Okay, there's a board has been disbanded. I think they're currently driving Tesla's somewhere up and down the California coast. Why don't we making a new quiz Jesse? Is it the is Matt Wright quiz? Yeah I mean it seems like there's one right answer so I don't he's very convincing and answering. Yeah. What's your what is your answer? Is it different than Matt's? I I was just going off of when he was saying, no, yes, no, no, I'll give you both. Give both of you credit for that one. Yeah, you're right back on going on Twitter. Train wreck disaster. Yeah, I think that's a quote, isn't it? Yeah, that's it. It's a quote ongoing Twitter train wreck disaster. Just looks at all the headlines. And yeah, I told him not to. Oh, can I just closed the audience that around 11:30? Today, I did see. Matt. His little, his little six little icon appeared in the document. Yeah. And then disappear immediately because I was scrolling through all the 500 windows. I don't believe that. Jesse doesn't believe it, no moving on. Here we go. Number seven, our fabulous quiz. How many quiz questions are there? There's 60 more questions, 30 hour, show only 10. No 18 minutes. KFC, you know KFC, I feel like Matt, you know, but Jesse your Healthy. Do you know, KFC? I know Fried Chicken Dallas where her vacation was. This just came out this morning. KFC is a apologizing. I love corporate of apologies. I do KFC apologizing. After doing what? In a German promotion. Oh, I love a good promotion apology specialty in Germany. Here we go. Is it? Commemorating Crystal Knox. Celebrating the resignation of Liz truss in the UK. Oh, honoring the national Russian holiday. Unity Day called Unity day? Or running an ad depicting. Two black men transmogrifying into chickens after ordering a meal. I'm sorry. You have to live through this Jess. I'm sure you have to be a part of this. Yeah. She volunteered for this I did, which is it The last one. And I will say that I've been trying know what one of those words is that transmogrifying was new to me. I guess that's the the process of Turning from one, knobs Calvin and Hobbes come on. But I'm going with the only one with the German word in it. and has to do with Nazis, honestly like Does it has to do with Nazis and it's in Germany. Don't you have to apologize like I don't know what KFC could have done as a to running a racist ad. But Germans care, less about racism. They're mostly white people right? Like that. Wouldn't I don't know that prompt as much outrage as Like being Nazi sympathizers or maybe anti-nazi. I would just all of our German fans. What did they actually say about the Nazis? I'm gonna go with that one. Okay? Unfortunately, he's right, Jesse, there's not these involved. A KFC in Germany, ran a promotion, commemorate commemorating, Crystal knocked of all things. I mean, this is just, this is beneath everything. I mean, this is beneath even Kanye. I mean, what the hell? Let's go what's going on. Matt but we brought the world, the rise of anti-Semitism in the corporate world is very real right now. There's a lot of it but even if you like. So what if anti-Semitism was even accepted, what is fried chicken have to do with commemorating such a horrible thing. Like what it was? What are we doing? I don't even know what we're doing anyway, what does that? And by the way, Two of those things were made up, but Jesse, just so you know, they KFC did run an ad depicting, two, black men transforming into chicken after ordering. That's true that happened earlier. Just made up that work. No, that's that's real. That's just so you should probably get partial credit even though there's no way you're going to win this quiz, but you get full credit for that. I didn't know that was real, no, that's real but didn't happen didn't come out today. That was again earlier this year, KFC. All right, and also happened in Germany, I believe. Really, I'll look into that. Maybe it was the UK. I thought it was you somewhere else? Yeah. Yeah because according to Matt's incredible european-based knowledge. They're they're not a lot, they are racist in the UK or not. What are what's the data on that? I mean, the races in the everywhere, but they're everywhere. Unfortunately, that's true. You just default to racism, but, unfortunately, that's true. Oh, dare you. All right, let's get back to the incredible quiz. Incredible. What do you think about this? Jesse, you think you're gonna do another quiz with us? I don't know. I might need like a one month Hiatus before. I need to study Matt psychology more. I know it's a bit of a bummer. This is a bit of a bummer. How about if I just get the next five wrong? I wish Matt would just played for his know. I can't play. I'm here to win and wait a win is to play Damien. Okay. But here's what's said, Jesse is that he? I already said that he doesn't even get a prize of you wins. You get the prize and still wants to win. I don't think he can order. With our company money that five dollars that we have left her own t-shirt. She don't even know what just want free marketing and the form of me wearing t-shirts around doing today. Wow. You know they're all listeners are. I don't know what Newington is. All right, number eight. Next question, American Airlines is an easy one. American Airlines. Aims to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year. 2030 2040, 2045 or 2050? New information coming at American Airlines? When are they going to go Net Zero by one of the promising to go Net Zero bomb Net, Zero 2050. It's 2050 would be the obvious answer that we would make fun of. So I'm guessing, this is just slightly below that in order to make us feel like they're doing better than that. I'm going to go 245. Jesse. This is the one that Jesse 2050, I just threw this in because it's idiotic I just making these announcements. Good, take you 20 years but like, how do they do that? Yes. That is the right question for an airline. The entire business model is to fill a tube with combustible fluid from the earth, they're building electric planes as we speak. Yeah, do we actually think in 28 years that all of the planes in the sky? The lifespan of these coins is good 25-30 years, right? Like, that's the lifespan of the plane's. So the planes that they currently have that are relatively new Could still be flying. Then the only way for them to go Net Zero is to pretend they have a carbon number and then pretend to buy some trees and say that we offset it. That's the only way they can go everywhere solving this since the Patriots aren't good anymore and will never be good again. Why don't we get rid of the National Football League because football is pretty terrible overall and put all those resources and to make into like having the airlines Net Zero by 2035 or something. I would rather you get rid take every dollar that Roger Goodell ever made and plant it. Out of it. Yeah by trees and let's have a boreal forest wherever Rodger Goodell's house currently is that music means time to shut up and go back to the game. Here we go. Only a few more left and we can put Jesse at her misery. Next question. Fabulous, ESG news quiz. November 10th 2022. How many staffers remain in Africa after Twitter laid off 50% of the company. How many staffers remain in Africa? Remember remember, there's a connection here, you know, the Dorsey loves Africa. Here we go. How many staffers remain in Africa? Is it zero? One. 10 or all them. It's the only country with no layoffs Jesse's laughing. So I think she has some insight here. I don't I haven't seen this. I don't I just want to choose one because that would be really fun if they. Yeah, that's the funniest answer. I'm going with one. That's the funny answer. It's not I don't know what the real answer is but that's the funny one. Well, I will say this at least somebody thinks my answers are funny because that's right. They fired that everybody except for one dude. That's so lonely. Imagine right? Horrible. Only person in the country in the question and Bonus question. For how long was the only office in Africa open before the layoffs hit? Anyone want to anyone want to guess? Dorsey made that announcement what he made a trip to Africa. In like 2019, I want to say he was there for like four months or five months. It was there for a little while, maybe two months. And he had to go somewhere and I I think they had just opened an office in Africa, and that's what his thing was. I'm going to go with. They had it open for three years, Jesse? Sure, sounds right. I don't know the actual answer here is the only office in Africa. Has been open for three days. Oh, wow, three days. Well, although their, you know, to be fair, it's actually it's been open for a year but they work from home, the ACT, but they actually three days ago they actually Opened the actual literal. Twitter was they? Before I couldn't find that information unfortunately. So shame on whoever publishes are article. Of course, it was business inside, which wouldn't actually tell me the full amount of employees there, but but they opened an actual physical headquarters. So, I'm guessing it was more than two I mean and now one person gets to rule the headquarter. Something elon's a jerk. That's all I can learn from that information. If the office was in this office is in gone. I, I'm guessing if it was in South Africa where all the Elon types come from that office would be still open. That's all I'm gonna say. That seems racist. Well, not me, I mean, all right, final question. Today's terrible game that Matt won really after the first question, but maybe we'll. Still send, Jesse something. Do you know where she lives? Matt, can you find her? Do you ever see her? I know. I've never I've never seen her before and this last question is like I apologize to everyone on the ESG were all of our fans because it's really incredibly idiotic. But hey this is the stuff that we come up with here. We reported yesterday that this that the CFO of Tyson Foods, John R Tyson. Yeah. My favorite new person was arrested for public intoxication and criminal trespassing. Yeah. That's right. CFO of Tyson after. And then I think up in the bed of a college aged woman at 2 a.m. And this picture that matched showing that's a real, that's the real picture from him, getting arrested CFO, just see. This is your he's very you're a CFO type, this should be you should feel like there's a shame on all know. There's no working corporate, right? You don't want to end up in jail. Uh, with a large police officer staring at you and your underwear. Is the chief people officer. The chief people officer of Tyson Foods. Is it a white man? A black woman, a blonde woman, or a black man? Oh wow. Oh, I wanted to be a black woman. Jesse goes with black woman, Matt know, all the chief sustainability officers are black, women, all the chief people officers are blonde women and their white because they want everyone to feel most comfortable and most of the companies white. So I'm going to go blonde, woman White, I mean look the good news is Jesse is that Matt is a bit of a billboard for people should use us for their they should use our company for data for our expertise, for Consulting, whatever because Matt is dead, right? Of course, it is a blonde woman and I don't know why this question ended up in this quiz. It's always a blonde woman and before we get out of here, I'm not even announce winners and losers but thank you, Jesse for playing. Before we get out of here, I want to do a quick sales pitch. Here's why you might consider buying a subscription to our data here at board sabermetrics, because this is what I found on a website about Tyson Foods, CFO. John r Tysons, this is from Wiki of celebs. This is a website, which I'm almost positive provides, all of the ESG data for both Bloomberg and BlackRock. I'm almost This is what it said. John R Tyson was born in 1990. Okay. He went to Harvard and Stanford, it's impressive. And he's famous for being the CFO of Tyson Foods which I guess is basically true. It's odd phrasing but right. But whatever. He's on a wait website, they're probably explaining why he's there. Yeah, I mean I think it's true, right? We're talking about, I guess we're, we're really a celebrity gossip company, I guess. Yeah, if we are. Yeah. And finally here's what the interweb told me, it said that Tyson Foods CFO, John R Tyson's profession is listed as tiktok star in YouTuber. Wow, that's what you got on the internet. Tiktok start on YouTube. Yeah, see above Tyson that's it. That's all I got is that is good as it gets as for an ending. I mean look, this is all real stuff I found. I mean, it's all real data. This is all real none of this made up. Well, I feel like I made everybody, sad of Happy by showing up and trying to win. But Jesse, as a constellation prize, we'll get you some swag.
