Live. Oh, why? I don't play farm room 1202 at the ESG Holiday, Inn look like a two-star. And downtown Canada. Is that why don't you? It's the, it's Michael Bloomberg's. Favorite ESG. Friday Show, featuring are the data Queen. Jesse the money whisper and you can't spell Mascari without msci. Matt, that's a terrible nickname match. What is your worst one yet? All right, good. I'm ESD on today's show. I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's a wrap up of the week. We got story of the week. What else we got? As holiest of the week, we do have that. Yeah, good least of the week and exhausting SST of the week. You know, what makes up the order a little bit today because Having Matt and Jesse go back to back. I find a little bit depressing because we go from asshole to exhausting and it's like that. So I'm going second now. So I just, I just want to be sure because I'm it's confusing. Otherwise sandwich. Know, I don't know sandwich. I don't say which is don't say it that way. That sounds weird. And who's ready? Don't say that. Oh, see. I don't appreciate that either. We're gonna have a meeting about that. How many we're gonna schedule a meeting about that? Me. All right. Here we go. Start the week. Let's start off and a boring category. All my categories are boring to be fair. Hooray, here we go. CEO change. Nobody. Yeah, it's boring. Correct? Yeah. All right, here's the headline with Brett. Taylor's departure from Salesforce just seven companies in the Fortune, 500 have a co-ceo. Okay, I'll try to do this one quickly because really this is a Shameless plug for us. Everyone shocked about Brett Taylor, leaving sales force, the coast CEO, we're not shocked our data, proves it? No we're not sure. I looked at about, I don't know, 10 US companies that had cocoa CEOs, right? At Salesforce. Marc benioff had 63% of the influence according to our data. Brett, Taylor had only six percent, that's why he left. So we knew he Wow, I like that data. So according to our data, here's who else should be leaving soon at workday Anil. Bhusri has 65% of the influence Luciano. Fernandes has only 5%. So, work day and trade web where Lee olesky has 70% of the influence of William Hull, only 4%. And how about this one Netflix, where Reed Hastings has 67% of power and Ted Serena has only 5%. I love all these. I Ted sarandos is not leaving though is he? I don't know why don't read Hastings steps down because he's tired of dealing with questions about Dave Chappelle, just so, the audience knows, our data actually has some that there are some balance go CEOs, monster beverage, Rodney sacks at 25%, influence, Hilton, schlossberg has 20% and even we have companies where the influences exactly. The same at both Markle and Lennar the coast have exact same level of influence anyway. This is all the exciting stuff that you can find in our data, that's it. You even even questioned me about Brett Taylor having, you know, so much. Did you I was already on to something. I was already on to something you were complaining because you said Brett, Taylor should have more influence. And we kept saying the data, that's what he was saying that day, that doesn't work that you were wrong, wrong, wrong wrong, wrong Damien Rallis ESD was wrong. Let's move on. Wait, I was but I was my ESG spidey sense was tingling. I don't know, how could that be wrong? All right, you're wrong. Number two, story of the week, China. China problems. Do I get? know, these are new, we actually haven't been talking a lot about China recently, first of all, historic protests Protest against zero covid policy. There was a Revolt at the Foxconn Factory or Foxconn actually apologized. And and not only other requested protests, but the projects are actually working, which is kind of shocked. China set to loosen covid curbs after week of protests. I don't know this. Feels important. Maybe for the future. We'll see also. The Republicans are going to take over Congress soon unfortunately the month or two and they are going to go on a full on Attack on tiktok, so that maybe that's something else going on in China. Ooh. Oh so he's anti-china and anti-esg the same thing. Because that's their attack plan, right? I think xenophobia Homophobia. Anti-esg, you know you put it all in the same basket don't you? What hey what's their complaint with tiktok? Oh, this is a fascinating one. There's a, there's a duality of complaint here that we talked about earlier this week. This is the quote. I already hasn't tuned into the other. Here's the quote. Sorry. You ready? This is from a republican Congressman that I guessing that you voted for. Here we go. Ready? Tick, Tock is digital. Fentanyl addicting our kids and just like actual fentanyl. It ultimately goes back to the Chinese Communist Party. This is like a wackadoo conspiracy theory. I love it. Actually, is this President also seeing this about Facebook and Instagram? I mean just met I guess ah, there's the real question. Yeah, that asking the heart, the real hard questions right there because it China and Mark Zuckerberg, basically the same thing. Well it's funny. You say that because remember that Mark Zuckerberg used to say what about China whenever he was grilled by Carly like yeah but if I don't do it, China will. So he doesn't believe he doesn't agree with you, Matt. Yeah. Well that they usually don't. Yeah. Okay. All right. Number three, story of the week and I know some of you will be covering a little bit of this later, but all the World Cup. ESG stuff. Okay, World Cup is a raging just like Matt's hemorrhoids and you're the ESG. I miss my hemorrhoids. Here, the element that you see elements, the World Cup. First of all with this terrible headline, Qatar World Cup Chief says between 400 and 500, migrant workers have died in projects connected to the tournament. And that was from this this week, just a year ago, the guardian published a piece saying that 6500 migrant workers have died in Qatar, since the World Cup was awarded so and they think that that might be a knot under estimates. So do the math 7,000 deaths, attached to this world cup already Margaret workers. This is shocking. Know. Yeah it is also old news. How is this old news? This came out just this Wednesday cut our world cup chief that that they announced that there were more than like one death is the new news. So old news that we knew that there was more than 6,000 is the old news. Here's the other World Cup. Is she stuff first? All female referee team. And from Scientific American, which Matt Tucker. Our cooker, Thompson covered, right? Scientific American. Yeah, the World Cup in Qatar is a climate catastrophe. Oh, that's the sum up. Okay, that's a that's all the fun stuff going on at World Cup while you're watching your favorite team lose. I'm mostly excited. I already. Did you add the World Cup? Story that I. Yes, we're going to it. I'm mostly excited for that. Oh yeah, we're getting to it. That's all by the world away. The sex toy World Cup story. Did you add that one? Oh God. I'm not aware of that one. Damien. That's perfect for ESG, too. You know, wait is sex to you saying this sex toys should be part of ESG, 2.0 data sex toys ISM? Okay, I hadn't thought of this help. Yeah. True know. I the, the question is really, did you inadvertently make a stadium shaped like, like genitals? That's really what we're talking about, right? Well, or you know, how Starbucks the board releases their favorite Starbucks drinks, every year. Same with Nike favorite Nike product, why can't the proxy or whatever? Yes. Why can't block Rock announced their favorite sex toys. I mean breaking news Black Rock going to vote on every directors favorite sex toys. Why not? All right. The final story of the week I'm putting I'm just calling ESG. Tidbits first. Kimball's brother said ESG is the devil. I don't want to cover that anymore than that. and, Out of Tyson. And I mostly just put this here because I wanted to talk about it. Tyson recalls ground beef for having mirror like material in it. That's right. Wow. Alright, so you can have your burger and you can check you out of that. So that's there is an FDA approved amount of mirrorless material and Peter. Tyson CFO, he's one of the Tyson kids, John Johnny Tyson. He pleads not guilty. Matt not guilty to public intoxication and trespassing after he already apologized for doing it. And then and then after that, the Tyson board announced that they have continued confidence and his ability to lead. Yeah, those are your stories that week. Go ahead. Someone have some fun. Wow. Amazing. I'll go. Yeah. I think, you know, China problems. I understand how this new China problems but I'm not gonna pick China problems. Thanks for getting excited and yeah, that was the last two weeks to the ramp up of World Cup. I'm gonna go with the CEO change in the really? Yeah, because you want to, you want to show off our data that you are, you're the data the data Queen was just makes sense like this. It's just, you know, Salesforce, I know this is just me nerding out, but I am kind of I am actually excited that our data. Actually can tell stories about these things. Yeah. Here's really got me. It's for years, I worked at places, like msci, GMI, the corporate library, and yeah, anecdotally, you could discuss the problem of a co-ceo, but now there's actually data to support those anecdotes. I just do. I do want to say that Ari mentioned, the bunny ears knowing can see that true. This is a podcast. Well, there are, there is a picture of Mark Benny off and Brett Taylor wearing bunny ear like hair like head things, fake bunny ears, fake, bunny ears, at an event. And Damien pointed out that immediately after the picture was taken, that Brett Taylor took off his bunny ears, but Mark Benny off left his own. Yes, so as an ESG expert, I've been in this field for 400 years. I think that the moment he realized it was time to step down was when he, you know, when he looked up and saw that he was wearing fake bunny ears and yeah, and yes, there was a picture with him with the bunny ears off and that was clearly. The moment after he decided he was over, it was over, he was done, I think that's correct. Yeah. Okay. Jesse, do you have a vote here? I mean this one of course because it's our data. Sure. What you're not the data Queen so don't worry about it enthusiastic. Well yeah but I love it. It's a boring story overall though she's a loyalist shut up. I mean let her be loyal Someone has to be someone has to be not doubting the health of this company. Actually, are you voting for that one? Yeah, so that's five. Oh, you are. Okay, I thought there was a dog.com. Anyway, what do you think? My vote doesn't matter. Tell us that we don't care look CEO. I was a fake CEO to begin with, he's only the CEO, because no one else is smart enough to do it. No, I was Damian was like you BC. Oh, I I'm not interested. I bet him hell no. No, definitely not. What is that? Look, okay, I can't even return. I can't even reply to emails. Yeah, I'm really torn between a mirror like object in my ground meat and the Deep suppression of a human population. In China, those two things have Me torn. Well, they could become they could be combined, right? I mean, I don't know how you would combine them, except that it's got to be China. The, the protests, that the, that in Administration in China would cave on anything. Yeah. Particularly as they are just talking about opening up. Now like the news this morning was that they were going to open up more and at the same time that they're like they're gonna open up more than New York Times has been reporting constantly about the protests in China and how repressive they are and how the policies have been Zero Tolerance. All that stuff is really terrible and then they say, we're gonna open up a bit and the first article I read at the New York Times was now you're going to kill old people because they're they're vaccines aren't as good as oh vaccines. And and so it was like when he New York Times, what the fuck do you want? Just well, I know I should go with that. I know nothing not that I'm allowed to vote, but I would have voted for China too. But you know, What the solution is pretty obvious. What? To solve China. You just need Bob Iger to take over China right there. It is. Breaking news of the week. Matthew. That's right now I'm going second. Um, all right, I have four options, one of which is a short option. The first option is the rail strike in the United States, which I cannot believe strike itself is the asshole didn't make your list Damien like, you know, my massive labor movement. You know, why under our fly? Yeah, because it's an ongoing story that we've already reported on. I know, it's, I know that the decision was made today, but I when I saw, and when I saw you writing about it, I was like we're we don't need to bore our audience even more by having us both report on it. I'm gonna say the asshole is the entire situation and I'm going to say it because yes, including the workers. Oh, here's cohort. Number one fighting against the workers of America. It is Warren Buffett, Lance Fritz. Stephen Lear, James foot, and Keith creel though, those are the five most influential people on the boards of the companies. That are fighting against the workers. They are fighting through the NCCC which is like the National Committee for I don't know. Killing Communists. I don't know what, I don't remember what it. Yeah, I think that's the rail committee, right? And they're negotiating with the unions Warren Buffett is on this list. If you're wondering why Warren Buffett's on this list is because Berkshire, Hathaway owns BNSF, which is one of the railroads, that is part of this committee fighting the unions. The other ones are Canadian Pacific, CSX Union Pacific in Norfolk. Southern. Okay, I thought he owned a lot of CSX 2 know or this one. He does not own the currently. I think he's only in the past but he does like railroads it's very folksy to own a railroad. So these are apparently. Yeah. Didn't you learn a monopoly that you got to get after that? That's right. Is a monocle and a top hat away. Warm Buffett by far is the most influential at 64% and he owns the company. So the others are less influential. But those are the names that you should know because of the Influential parties in controling, these companies who are negotiating and that's according to our data. And, you know, none of the Articles talk about the The railroad companies. Yes I have seen that they don't name the rails. A monolithic mass of railroad workers was angry workers ruining Christmas. Just like the Jews. The Grinch just like the orders I guess. And the second demo that that are assholes here, are the unionized workers. Why do you want to know why? Yeah, tell me. Why? I don't like this. I went sustainability report by sustainability report through every one of these companies. Now, BNSF does not disclose anything, because Warren Buffett does not believe in just like disclosure. He really hates disclosure when it's his company. Really likes it everywhere else. But in fact, his website for his for Berkshire, Hathaways, basically, a website troll, I believe, Dreamweaver in 199. I'm dead. Serious about it is a foxy website made out of basic HTML code. Part of The Branding for Canadian Pacific. CSX Union Pacific Norfolk Southern here is the break, the demographic breakdown of the unions who are fighting against the NCCC Canadian Pacific 95%, male sex. What do you mean like the the workers who are demonstrating or men? The war, the unionized workers at Canadian Pacific are 95% men. So you're mad at them for for wanting better rights because wait for it, CSX 906% male Union. Pacific 95% male Norfolk Southern 96% male. Are you sensing a pattern that unionized workers? Where are the women we like, where where what have they been doing? What they're not allowed? In the unions? They're not allowed to work at this? I don't get this. We wouldn't be here right now. Yeah. Here here is why Everyone's an asshole, you have five white Millionaires and billionaires negotiating with a cohort of 95% men. This is just a dick measuring contest. It's like I like I know you want 15 dollars an hour, better safety. All those things that I'm behind that. Yeah. But it's really hard to get behind either one of those cohorts because it's a bunch of white billionaires on the union. I don't get that. You're just telling angry about the work. I don't really get this line of the thought, the what the union, can't let women in why is there no women? Why are you saying? I hear what you're saying, but they just want to hear. They just want sick days. They want paid sick days. What's the percentage of women in the industry? That's a good question. Yes. See here in the industry and 5% male. Yeah. Fascinating part about this is every one of those companies have more women in management at those companies. Really, then they do represented by the unions. Every one these are Trade union, but to just use point average, it was 20% women in Senior Management at every one of these. Companies and 95% men at the unions unionized. You know, the percentage of men who are in these trade jobs. Yeah. Women women in the trade jobs. Yeah, do we know this Matt, he doesn't, he's stonewalling, how dare? There's no data, it doesn't matter. All right, there's only five percent, yes, women. So like the 95% male, then there's 5% women, but that's all the women. My point is, it's a male dick War. I think Twisted. I think what just trying to say is that women aren't strong enough to lift a train over their heads like mountains. I just imagine that there's far less women in this industry. I would I would too there are accepting management. Okay, moving on. okay, the next asshole is Sequoia capital and the Man baby VCS who are funding our doom and this okay, relatively quick, because, Let's review. Sequoia capital's, some of their recent due diligence. This is one of the largest Venture Capital firms in the entire world when I didn't talk about. Yeah, well, this is Sue. They invested in recently, Twitter, Elon Musk PayPal back in the day with Peter Thiel. Uber Travis kalanick. Citadel Securities Ken Griffin who's a billionaire GOP donor FTX who just collapsed into a pool. In fact according to Precinct data, venture capital and crypto has been more than 62 billion dollars in the last decade. Okay, 62 billion dollars. Can you imagine if the dudes at some place is like, Sequoia weren't handing. Other dudes money to make fake money in a fake Universe. Imagine what you could do, is 62 billion dollars. I'm just tired of man. Baby Venture capitalists is really what it is with you. That's number two. Here's number three. Mark, Zuckerberg's, oversight board. Oh whoa. This is a throwback. I know. Isn't it? Something happening? No, but this actually the I'm going to read to you. Four headlines. They're actually much cleaner than whatever is going on at Mark, Zuckerberg's, oversight board. Here are the headlines musk breaks promise to form Twitter. Moderation panel blaming activists Elon Musk says, Twitter will offer amnesty to suspended accounts, Elon Musk, suspends Kanye, West from Twitter for inciting violence and Elon Musk references. The Bible said he won't allow Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, back on Twitter in the same day. He reinstated Trump's account. I was hoping no one would bring up this depressing stuff. Matt, had, you notice the pattern though? Know what I like about this? What's cleaner about this tell us All of those, just say, Elon Musk decided something. Well, but this is why the Twitter's had was a truth and safety. This is why he said he left because it was become a dictatorship. But is Zuckerberg's oversight board less of a dictatorship know but yeah. Okay. That's what I like your oversight board is the asshole because the oversight board released a new ruling in the last week and a half. Here's here's, the ruling. The overturn met his decision to remove a UK. UK drill music. I didn't let the I didn't let the drum roll die. You paid drill me. What you video clips so apparently And this is going to sound like a racial epithet. I'm literally just reading the name of an artist, an artist in January 2022. The artist chinks OS, dropped a song that may have had a Veiled Threat against an arrival gang. The Metropolitan Police in London, flagged it to meta saying that they thought this would incite violence gang violence meta removed it. I included the lyrics, a link to the lyrics here. If you want to read some of them, I could not figure out the threat mostly because I didn't know what any of the Lord, yes, men. Like, you don't understand. Those type of symbols you're from. You're from the means of Rhode Island. You don't understand from the Mean, Streets of my comfortable house on a lake. Like, I don't know, I don't know what anything of that meant but the oversight board wrote, quote metal lacked, sufficient evidence to conclude that the content contained a credible threat and the boards own review did not uncover evidence to support such a finding in the absence of such evidence meta should have given more weight to the contents artistic nature. This is what they're wasting time with. Can we stop? This was the first like new ruling in the last month. Can we stop people attending? Remember this oversight board is stacked with like an impressive list of academics. Diplomats, you know, lawyer, whatever. Whoever this is, what they're with. Are they ashamed of themselves? This, this that they want that paycheck, so badly that they're rolling on. Music videos in the UK. I just sitting around a room talking about this? No, no. Credit where credit is due. Musk is not pretending to care about a process where Zuck is doing this dubious. Bulshit process. And I agree with you years. I am ashamed to admit it. I, I actually think Mark Zuckerberg looks great. Now compared to Elon Musk. Sorry, that's why it's an asshole like that because who was the asshole suck his, he's made, you think he's better, he's the same, he is better, he's not better, is he better? It's still just makes me feel like borderline suicidal. Because he's out loud. That just happened behind closed doors. Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear Trump of social media and they're black last asshole. Is this guy? Sam. Bankman freed apologized to FTX customer who said he lost his life savings of 2 million and accused of former CEO of stealing it. The customer is the asshole because who puts their life savings, you know, fake Market of fake money with no due diligence or governance who does that. 2 million dollars savings, you spent you to save two million dollars takes most people What decade would probably take 850 years to save 2 million dollars? What did you do with that 2 million dollars? You went and put it in crypto 100% of it. In crypto. All right. Can you be more of an asshole? Because now you're getting headlines and Business Insider and the guy who's fake company failed. You're you're yelling at him, you didn't this wake up and say this was a dumb idea and the first place this is concerning because the world running out of assholes that these are choices. Yeah, I don't know that he's an asshole more so just like dumb bad for him. Yeah, I might be the asshole here because two of his assholes this week. One of the guy who lost his life savings and the other is a union trying to get paid. So what are you okay man? No one. Is a union full that basically is like the Boy Scouts of America only allows Boys in and the other one is a guy who said you know what a good idea is taking money that I saved for 40 years doubling and putting it in crypto in entirely? Come on somebody vote. Although it's pretty easy. I vote for. Is it the first part of the first asshole? The railroad Ari? So I don't waste anyone's time. I'm 100% with you. It's the first part of Matt's first. That's all. It's the left cheek, let's be real. It's the Warren Buffett's and the lands, Fritz's all those. And I love that he's highlighting who the people are and who the companies are because just This mom who owned railroads? So, yes, he's gonna be talking about all these five companies with her friends. Now. Yes, Jesse that presumes are this weekend. I think we blew up your system because we this is the first time we've ever all first of all, we all agreed, and we all voted, just one subsection and you all got it wrong. That's your loss. Who have you voted for? Who would have you it's Zuckerberg without a doubt? Oh, all right. Moving on, moving to the week, come on. Cheer us up for one and don't tell me that Pepsi don't tell me a Pepsi is paying a 50 dollar fine, because someone got acne from drinking too much. I don't know. Like, come on. Give me something. I actually good. Well, let's start with a question. Yeah, quick answers. Don't leave. How long do you think it takes patience in a major US city to get an appointment with a specialist decision? Three months nature. Three months. All right to me. oh yes, clearly you guys think this is like Way bad. I'll just it took me like six months to get a dermatologist appointment here, my Jesse TMI Okay. Major cities are better off than the suburbs and Specialty rural areas. So in major cities people, wait, an average of 26 days in places like Vermont. You can be waiting up to 65 days, right? Like, that's, oh yeah, but you get to live in Vermont though. Sure. Well, there is this new Telehealth Tech. Yeah. Health Tech startup and it was founded by a woman, Kelsey Millard. And she connected primary care physicians with Specialists and she aims to cut down the wait, times from weeks, or months to hours, because this problem. Yeah, yeah, this is the biggest problem. Specialty, Physicians are getting unnecessary patient referrals from pcp's. And through these consultations. 85% of these consultations will help avoid the clinically inappropriate with the column referrals and it will just give the PCP the providers access to the specialty knowledge. That would tell them that this person does not need to see that specialist freeing up. That's Specialties special. Specialty, Physicians calendar. And also making patients not spend a whole bunch of money. They don't need to, and taking the time specially in rural areas where you have to, you know, drive further away to see this special this like a part, they could borrow your electric vehicle. Know, listen, before I get excited about this, it did Kelsey Millard go to Stanford and or has she ever been on a board with Peter Thiel know? Okay, good. All right. He has worked for the government and who what? What you don't like the government. She worked at, I like the government Department of Health. So, you know, all right. I don't like that. Anyway, I really like it. Okay, now, number two, number two, US Women's National Team equal, pay agreement settled earlier this year is in effect as they earned money from the men. Oh right, The Knockout stage. So you Yeah. US soccer became the first Federation in the world to equalize FIFA World Cup prize money. In May 2022, even if the men lose against the Netherlands, the team will earn 13 million dollars. Beautiful benefit, both the women's and men's teams. Equally if every country did this FIFA would feel the pressure to invest in the women's prize money, because the lack of resources, To the men and we can't have that, right? however, Even if it never happens at the FIFA level, I am proud that the US did this. It just for reference, this is how much the prize money? No, this is terrible. Men's World Cup 440 million, that is 14 times the last Women's World Cup, prize money. So the the men's winning team gets 440, no available, ya winning team takes 44 million dollars, or something like that. I smell like ESG cooker Charleson coming because didn't the, the US player who scored the winning goal to get the money for these. Women literally had to go to the hospital for a Bruisin and balls. Yeah, right groin. It's a this to me seems like right this is connected somehow this is connected. What does this? What does this seem? Like I said literally getting our kicked in the genitals because of women needing equal rights. That's right. They just want them. I smell a Charleston bit coming. I said to Ari this morning, I'm pretty sure that Tucker Carlson or Tucker Carlson. Can write a bit on this. In about 12 seconds. Yeah, yeah, he's gonna hate this. I like it are well and all honesty. This reminds me of like the parental leave before parental leave problem, right? Like yeah, mother's careers. Take a nose dive. A lot of times because of maternity leave and what is the solution. And this has been said by economists around the world that Fathers need to be forced to sit at home too, like no joke. That's why paternity ready so important, I am ready, why? Men deserves 16 weeks? Or however, many weeks the company gives women They need to stay at home too. So this is the same concept. Anyway, solidarity, I like it. It's hard to piss on this one to exactly. If you don't like this, you're saying the Democratic agreements between multiple parties are dumb. Hey, and I've only ever been to one World Cup match in my life and it was the US Women's National Team. So I feel like I, I am the reason for this story. It's me. It's just, I saw Italy beat Nigeria. 1994 was the 1998 one? All right, now, Number three. Come on. Number three, Heinz has spent 185,000 hours, eight years, 45 iterations. 1.2 million dollars to redesign their ketchup bottle cap to be 100% recyclable. Oh blah, blah, blah. Wait. Which part is good here? The amount of time, like, what do you what do you tell us? What your present the commitment, the OCD tell us what, your what do you already doing? Now, a lot of, I don't know if I don't know if you're aware of this, but a lot of cops are not recyclable. Like you buy a bottle or something in the bottle itself is recyclable, but the cap is not oh which is a shame because I put that in my recycling week. So you should check it out because you might be doing really good smooth cap and they Pride themselves on that. Oh, because I'm OCD about things like that and they've spent so much time trying to keep that seam. Satisfaction of squirting. Condiments of the bottles. I don't know what's happening but this one this is just learned a lot about sorry, classic Arias because you're I love mustard according their use of plastic in general. What about the glass bottles with nose? Be better. What are we doing here? You are supporting but isn't glass so metal. Right. Is it recyclable metal? Yeah. You could just, you could put it in your dog's. Good question. I don't put it. Thank you. Put it. All right. Thank you. 185,000 hours of work by higher. This one seems super easy. I'm gonna vote quickly. It's the US Women's National Team. Oh, once again, Yeah, what he never really did, but what have you voted for? Don't tell me what you would have voted for for Telehealth startups. You know. Well, I think first of all, I think he's on America toy. What's our the Peruvian immigrant who works at our company's Un-American because she chose the one that limits patient Choice like, okay. Now you're telling me, I can't go see a specialist, how dare you? This is America. I can do whatever I want. I can see any specialist I want, that's what made that's immediately. What I thought if you're rich enough, Not if I'm rich enough, you know? Because what they do is they call up their PCP and they demand to see a specialist and the PCP either says, I'm sorry you're a black woman. I don't believe any of your symptoms and sends them nowhere or they send them to a specialist because it's easier than dealing with them yelling. So that that's America at work for you. So this what do you just I it's it's really hard for me to celebrate the communism of the and socialism of the US national team and it's hard for me to vote for 185,000 hours. That's how long it fucking took to figure out a cap and catch up in the first place. Yes. Like what? It's corn? Syrup. Mixed with tomato paste. It's red sugar, paste. Like, we're, I don't know. Everything felt really bad to me the headlines this week, which trading in your boat, which case I'm gonna let, Jesse vote twice. Okay, so just okay, national team obviously, yeah, goodness of the week, equal pay in soccer, speaking of Jesse article and she didn't use it. What was the two tell us? Well, we heard about yours. The headline of mine was this non-profit has over 10 million dollars to support indigenous. Women entrepreneurs that are in that one. I said, Ari Taylor there already won, they took one of the stadiums in Qatar and they literally made it a sex toy because it's shaped like female genitals. And they made it to raise awareness of the terrible things that that done, who's they? I just think it's amazing because it's like a highly repressive regime who hates women, made a stadium shaped, like a vagina and then a company looked at it and said, we're going to sell a sex toy. That looks exactly like your Stadium. Are you talking about? That's fantastic. Republican party, what are you talking about? And it doesn't look like a vagina. If you're gonna know. You got to see the picture of the stadium. It's basically a giant labia. Well, it is. Let's all right. Hold on. Yeah, let's please move on. Jesse. You get to follow up that I do and exhausting us to the world, a little worried. Damon, how you're gonna find these? Because this first one excited, a dystopian world is closer than we think at least for San Francisco. Oh, I know what the story is. I don't understand. I see, I know this one, too. I don't like it at all. Go ahead. So this San Francisco San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted eight to three, Was the vote to allow San Francisco Police Department. To use lethal robots against suspects of all places San Francisco. Truly that was one of my first thoughts. Yeah. Terrible. The robots would be remote controlled so they're not autonomous. Yes. And yeah. And would use explosives to kill or incapacitate suspects when lives are at stake. The no trial or jury. Just, just go and detonate the suspect. Yeah. And there's no one. Do they know what suspect me that can? Yeah, I mean it's, this is all very subjective. Could tell me with my Popeye's bag wandering through the crime scene by mistake and they're like oh get that guy, I know. So the F the sfpd, spokesperson Allison, Maxie told. The AP robots quick I know. But yeah, she's PR robots equipped in this manner would only be used in extreme circumstances to save or prevent further loss of innocent life. So again, extreme circumstances, very subjective. I just see this going very wrong. Like maybe they could think about extensive negotiate it, negotiation training, I'm sure that's way cheaper than building robots. I think it said that they have like 17 of them and 12 are operational. Sounds pretty expensive. And also sounds like we're simulating a war zone over here in San Francisco. Matt, how I was Ron, DeSantis gonna respond to this. What's that, what's the anti-wolf? How was he gonna be mad about? No, I thought didn't he send undocumented migrants going to Florida strapped with explosives into hostage negotiations? Isn't that his doesn't? He just send migrants wherever there's a problem and yeah, like He's from Texas to there. Yeah he's got an import the migrants so he can send them to somewhere else. It's just there's this just scares me like you. Put you put someone behind a screen. I mean, we know with like cyber bullying. It's obviously way different, but people get a lot more bold when they're behind a screen and now you have someone, it is a person, but someone behind a screen just like detonating things and actually supervisors is there are democratically elected Do you know? Yeah I understand this one. Why does go I don't get this? You know I feel like and I'm not saying this is great but like yeah a school active shooter situation. Where nobody? But it's closing. So how can you make sure that you're not affecting kids pictures? I what I what I'm confused about is the first place that this was actually done was in 2016. It was done in Texas. I'm okay. Why did San Francisco go? There's a good idea Texas we're gonna take that. There's a lot of other states that have tried to adopt something similar and That instructed down. But the historically most Progressive city in the world is the one that that looked at one of the historically, least Progressive places in the country. The good news. Good news was one of the ones that tried initially the man. Yeah. The good news is that Amazon has announced that Alexa is a bomb, it's a disaster. So maybe this is a use for all the Alexis write a lesson. This is perfect. And they can they can play Taylor Swift as their exploding as they're killing you. I think Adele will be better, but yeah, you think, yeah. What about the adult song that plays? At the end of like, one of the James Bond movies, Skyjack, robot death. Okay. Ready for the next. What else? What else? All right, so, this is women make up only 5% of the music tech industry. That's probably because that's like, railroads. Yeah, probably because there's a long history of being sexualized. Which might happen in the railroad industry as well have. So yeah there's a lot of railroad swimsuit calendars that I've seen floating around Have you seen music industry? Once DJ swimsuit, wasn't every music video. Every music video is basically like a music text. So it's like DJ's producers, right? Not necessarily ours. Anyways, there's 5% of women in the music tech industry. Only 2.8% are producers less than 1% are women of color. Wow, this is so, where's this data come from it. This is, this is BBC. So this is you, okay, so that there's the person that was interviewed for this article. DJ Glade, she is the founder of she shares that she's often sexualized. While working in the industry. She, her quote is I'm here to work. I'm not here to be your pretty woman, DJ for the night. So she shares that when she is referenced, she's always referenced with being a woman. And DJ not just a DJ she's a she's a woman DJ there's that clarification and she constantly receives unsolicited feedback from men obviously telling her. This is Jesse this is the same complexity. It's the same complaint that the CEO Goldman Sachs DJ diesel has that he's always referred to as the CEO DJ. It's also unfair. Also unfair, he's her company, saffron, it's a record label. They host mix nights that create safe, space is for female and trans teachers, they host educational courses for aspiring, producers engineers and broadcasters. So she is working to change the industry and we'll change those statistics and the industry cheating you, because you start off with the exhausting part. Now, you're trying to make a good at the end. Yeah. And now you're doing good. No, no, it's still exactly. It is Austin but I never would have guessed. It was all this is like Think about? Yeah, I don't know. I don't want to think about that. I know where helmets, I don't know. They could be anything under there. What if marshmallow is actually a woman? It'd be pretty cool. Well ironically I know my buddy he's he was a DJ and his least favorite. DJ was a man named Girl Talk. Oh, that's very that's. Yeah, it is. All right, thank you. That's number two. And what else? Okay. And then wrote her a campaign wrote her campaign, a check. Surprised. I don't do you need more than that, a billionaire hit. So he's the owner of the Chicago Fire football club. His name is Joe mansuetto. So he for months he's the owner Morningstar overly Yeah, the company that does ESG ratings. Wait, what's the connection man? I I believe no, Joe mansueto. Yeah, isn't he the owner of Morningstar? He's the executive chair and founder of mornings, right? He's a billionaire and continues to get worse and Morningstar bought sustainalytics and owns the second largest ESG ratings company, and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that, yes, according to ESG data writing, a check as a quid pro quo for getting, something from the government is, is, I think that's isn't that a zero? Is that a zero that you but this is beautiful in light of our news about the women, the US Women's Soccer Team in cockroach tarlson is now you can make this connection with ESG because Chicago Fire Football Club, of course, is a soccer team, see how it's all connected. It's all happening. It's almost like it's so easy to come up with these conspiracy to be a conspiracy. Three asshole. Yes it seems like it's easy. Sorry, go ahead Jesse know he. Anyways he was reported he's been an ally of the Mayor. Lord Lightfoot for some time. But he had never donated to her political fund donor this contribution and she has for a long time. Pushed off this plant to turn over public housing, land to the team, the land is supposed to be its has been set aside for low income housing. It's not good for, for sports, team know, it will be, but that's what it has in the past. It's been set aside for low-income housing. So this is housing will be released after the first this makes it worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean horrible, this is exhausting. So you have Alderman, Raymond Lopez wrote in a letter to the city's Inspector General, and the executive director of the city's Board of Ethics. I believe this represents a gross and familiar abuse of power. And at a minimum, a potential violation of the city of Chicago's governmental ethics ordinance. So, I like how we said Rose and familiar like that kind of extra, so hopefully I gets blocked, it's undergoing an investigation. But this, you know, this is just bad. The real owner Morningstar. This is the owner Morningstar, he's the executive chair at founder. Yeah, the real problem actually is that the Chicago Fire They went nine and eighteen, they stink. They were like one of the worst teams in the League last year, the Cubs not enough, the more sports teams, Who care like, who even cares? Nobody, the world's are not going to get low income housing. They care. We're making more exhausting because we're talking about the sports team itself and not the bribe, just feel like it's always low income. Housing, all gentrification, Explorer income housing. Yeah, All right. What else? You got entertainment way too much in this country. It's true. It's true. All right. Yeah. Last one Mary and Webster has chosen the word of the Year. Well, we already know the answers to our show. Yeah. Well I did listen to one another. It's fine and if you already covered this and let me know, I'll just wait through it. And yes, it's the total industry. in present day the term describes the type of lie that leaves the target doubting their perception of reality as the word because Merriam-Webster saw a 1,740 percent increase in searches on their site this year, for Gaslight. So the mine manipulating connotation came from a 1938 play called Gaslight later turned into a movie. The plot is a husband tries to trick his wife into thinking, she's losing her mind. Thereby getting sent to an asylum so he can steal her Priceless Jewels. Okay, this sounds like modern day CEO gaslighting. yeah, like the connection to the world yesterday. So climate Advocates have increasingly used, the term to describe the actions of the oil industry which was mastered gaslighting long before found its place in our vernacular, in the center, just a coincidence, right? It's a coincidence that it's gaslighting from the movie. They just said it's from, right? He was using the actual gas light flickering that and telling her that they applied it to the, I love this, the oil industry. Morning, I'm sure. You guys covered that and then they decided to proceed as if it wasn't climate change, wasn't real publicly doubting the science and working to block legislation. I think we're just see what Jesse is saying is. Yes, you should go out to your local Museum and glue yourself to a famous piece of art, that's what she said. No, no. I'll bring back candles and stop using our electricity and our guests or throw some ketchup on it with your recyclable caps. I'm okay with all only, if your catch up as we're sick, Wow, that's all. Need. Thank you. I don't know. She is, she's an actual human being I'm just picturing how you covered gaslighting and not that way. We actually we need to go back and homology. We did not do no discovered that it was the word of the year. Yeah. When you know we don't give actual facts. We just make fun of stuff already know. We do a lot of facts. Oh yeah, we do we do. Yes, come on, somebody weigh in. Oh, and you know the music secondary That's depressing. How how? so that Okay. All right. I'm actually really confused by that one and I it reminds me of a study that was done about Juilliard entrance and how they actually like they discriminated against allowing women into Juilliard and all they did was take the names off of applications and the number of women that they allowed into Juilliard increased exponentially because they were listening, like, you think music is like, just, they did care about that. That's terrible. I'm telling you, like the bias is deep and they, they Julia, they took the names off and all they were letting more women in because like, they were not discriminating unconsciously against the people, whose names sounded female to that. I don't get, but I don't get the whole thing because music is just like, you turn it on. If it's good, it's good. If it's not, I don't understand like, how do you, how do you even sexualize it? Like the music is called, Good music, a meritocracy? Yeah, listen I thought it would be but it's not. That is exhausting. That's your choice. I think I have to go with that like really the, you know, corruption in Chicago. Just seems like par for the course. It's not exhausting to me that you're blowing up robots that seems dystopian and gaslighting is like has existed forever. So I have to go with. Well that no I DJ my vote doesn't matter here, but but never did. You guys don't understand the category? And I understand, I understand, I understand the category. And it's what, what is most exhausting to me? Is yet another billionaire giving a bribe to a public official for some stupid sporting good. Actually the music tech industry that's new to me Jesse, so I can't be exhausted by that. Yeah, I guess the exhausted I was like, in general, I hear you right? That's another story about another industry where women get. No choice is sort of like the rail unions a little bit. Okay, I don't like how I can hear map, but I can't see him. I'm feeling exhausted by that. That would have been my vote billionaires. Okay. Thank you, Jesse. Well, let's try to wrap this up. Who won the week? Wow. You know we're in the same page with this one. Go ahead and it is the US Women's National Team. You actually not in the same page because Jesse gave it four exclamation points. Yeah you didn't. I was emphatically. Yeah just seeing them. I love that they're passively getting right now. You guys are better people than me because I actually chose hate in America, and I'm glad we didn't cover it too much, because it's wow, quite literally depressing me. But this is been a distressing week in general for For this. There are now shows hate in America. We started covering this like two months ago but I just read a story about the rise of anti-Semitism in America and it's a real thing and we were like we noticed that this train was coming and we talked about it for like two months. We've been talking about the rise of anti-Semitism everywhere. Yeah, and this is the, and this is the and yeah. Another horrible effect of social media is that, it's normalizing it now it's just it's, yeah, because it's just, it's ubiquitous, it's omnipresent didn't want to be talking about being omnipresent, Jesse. Yeah. So that now, unfortunately, it's just becoming a normal thing now. But anyway, that's my My winner was much happier than your Winner's. Yes, there. There was there reports that there are going to be picketing and potentially a strike at a number of airports good. And I just the big the biggest winner here is Business Insider. They have they have been covering like how someone's dog was stuffed in a, you know, like a underneath a seat and was uncomfortable for the entire summer. They are 40% of the flight, the dog was uncomfortable. Now they are so primed to talk about the callous workers at the airports who made my popsicle melts. I'm very excited for the amount of content that Business Insider's. That's a weird winner of the week. It's a weird story. Think of all the stories, they're gonna win predictions. I'll go first. Lucci, Ono. I think it's not Luciano. He's not Italian. Oh, go on of work day. Yeah, it he will take off his Coast CEO bunny ears, after he listens to this show, after he listens to this prediction. And finally realized that his Co CEO was only four years older holds 65% of the influence while he holds just less than 5% business. That's my weird prediction. All right, I got really random one. Yeah. Go. I think McDonald's is gonna try and buy slutty vegan. The restaurant chain never gonna happen. Yep. Tell, what is that? Slutty vegan? Yeah, it's a, it's a popular, like, burgers and fries. Popular in the South and and they have a Cool vibe like they're popular in the South. They just opened up their another location in Brooklyn but you know I've never heard of it. I love this prediction because it would just be fantastic. It's never gonna happen. I like the prediction I have one at least. Okay. Oh you're looking at Jesse. Matt, what's your prediction? My prediction I comes off of this story where Elon here's the headline. Elon Musk says he'd be comfortable in planting. A knurling brain chip in one of his children. Of course, he has 40 children that was that never hangs out with them. He doesn't care. Shut, your face is my prediction. This, that, that was the headline that I base this prediction in on which is Elon and plants a neuralink chip in his trance daughter's head to make her a republican. Then she moves from California to Florida. To join the DeSantis Administration convinces them to divest from any asset manager in the woke, Tesla Corporation, because electric vehicles, discriminate against diesel cars. That's what matters. That's, that's a good prediction because I didn't impregnate one of his neuralink Executives, so he did that kid, right? He could do that. That gets not born yet though, so, okay. That's um, so that's it. She said, next week my prediction is at Jesse will not have a prediction Oh, you can't predict you can't really predict. That's our show. It was Friday, we did things. We'll be back Monday doing more things by board saber metrics for the holidays. The first person who reaches out to us to buy board sabermetrics for the holidays as a gift for somebody will get it free for one year. I'm not kidding about that. If you reach out to us, we'll put you on the show. Jessie the money Whisperers. Very But I will do that. That is like a like a TENS of thousand dollars worth of data. We're gonna get for your arm for a gift for somebody else. No, we didn't. I'm doing that right live right now so do it. We'll be back next week until then goodbye.
