Business Pants – 2023-01-12

Hey, it's up so quickly live. From the, what's this white stuff falling from the skies Studios? Is it snowing in? Connecticut. It was, it was. Yeah. We actually have snow in Maine. I can't I honestly can't believe it. Because you just were not in Maine, know because it doesn't know anymore because the world because the climate change not as far as it used to be. It's part one. Of our very unnecessary two-part 2023 prediction extravagant that these two idiots talked me into somehow featuring Matt mascardi, Lord of Ford saber metrics and Lord scale in. Jessie the money Whisperer and me the Duke of Norwich and today's crawdad soak bag called January 12th. 2023. Predictions. So that's a prediction. Yeah, she was doing. Why are we doing this, Matt? Because this is what our audience wants. Audrey? Okay. Just pretend we have an audience and I'm pretty sure we do have an audience. Look there's nothing nothing. Says fun. Like predicted going over the predictions you made last year on the 12th of the following year and then doing the rest of the predictions. You're going to make for this year, like two weeks into the year. I don't know what he just said. Jesse, are you? You know, what's going on? No, okay, well here You know that tomorrow on our our normally scheduled Friday show, we will be doing our 2023 predictions, that makes sense to me. I understand you're doing that and there's a lot of them. I haven't done a lot and Order done any yet. No Ari's only like half done her. She just has ideas. I have literally, the best predictions I've ever made. I feel like I look at yours because then they were going to influence mine. So I haven't even looked well, I might have some objective truth or whether that whether you just said, is true or not. Because I have some of last year's predictions from from the Friday show itself, because every week We did predictions. So let's see if yours are great or not, you might think they're great. Look, it depends on how stretchy we get with what credit is so let's let's get you started kick us off. All right, let's do this thing. It's last year. Okay, so to be clear, we have, this is how ridiculous we are. We have two sets of predictions that were covering from last year. One is from the 2022 prediction show and the others are gonna cover is all the predictions we made during the year. Is correct. So go. Last year's prediction show the 2022 prediction, show, Damien Ari, Emma lurking and I sat in a room and discuss what we thought would happen here are the things that we thought would happen and these are the real predictions because we actually spent time this during the show, those predictions are kind of silly absurd, but these are the real predictions. This is where we actually took the time and effort to put. We thought about these that we're, when they're really bad. That's what you have. I'm excited because I completely forgot about all these. I'm gonna go through all of them. All the most. Yeah, well, we'll do most of them quickly. Let's, let's start with big losses. Okay, things, that didn't happen. We'll do these quickly. Okay, Damien, yes, predicted. That Zuck will step down and pass the Baton to Fiji SEMO. Okay, that sounds but that sounds reasonable. It did not happen didn't even come close to happening. In fact, what duck did instead was create a meta hell in Fiji, became the CEO of instacart. So people is a real person. I thought it was some like real paper dream of mine because of all the, the Southeast Asian CEOs are taking over. That was your theory. You it was the early primitive Asian Theory, except the Fiji was a woman and you thought like that Zuck would step down but she did become a CEO somewhere. I looked that's not the worst, not the worst, not correct you all. So predicted that the Business Roundtable would read to find the purpose of the corporation with Zero Solutions. Warning at the metaverse is a mess and CEOs, can't hide behind purpose dressed up as ESG score. I don't even know what that means. Yes, that would take me like two weeks playing at the Justice. Yeah, you know what it means? Because it's a word salad. All it is. The Business Roundtable would say, the metaverse sucks. And CEOs can't use ESG scores to hide behind. That's all he's saying. Well, I was partly right there. There's been some backlash against whoops, CEO, right? No, this is Round Table. Didn't redefine anything. In fact you know if anything they disappeared I will say with this whole anti-walk Movement, we don't talk about the Business Roundtable anymore, I should bring that back. Well, there, there are punchline. In the, in the anti-woke movement, talking points now now it's like Yeah, The Business Roundtable, you know, decided that woke capitalism was what they were gonna follow, and that's why everyone's angry. So just, you can be less confused. The Business Roundtable, is this group of very conservative CEOs that suddenly, in 2019, decided to announce that they were going to redefine the purpose of a corporation to be not primary, not only for shareholders, but for all stakeholders, they kind of yes, they launched us, a stakeholder friendly capitalism that? Of course, I applauded because that's what I believe in. But it, of course, it was, you know, bulshit But but still even today the vivix of the world the Ron desantis's of the world, they attacked Larry Fink at BlackRock. I don't know why they don't attack the Business Roundtable because they're the ones are really got this ball rolling. Well, they, they started in on the Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the anti woke launched a new Chamber of Commerce. For conservative values because they thought the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce was too liberal now, like it's bananas what they're doing. So, but I'm going to say you were wrong with that one. Here's another one. You were wrong about. Bloomberg, launches, an ESG ratings product, emphasizing e after hit jobs on msci. Oh, I'm calling bulshit on this one, too. I thought we heard some Rumblings that Bloomberg is in fact working on some kind of a product on the issue. No wait what? I don't they they are platforming a bunch of other ones but they I haven't heard anything about them. They let's just say in 2022. They definitely did not charge a product so wrong. And then you finally the one you were wrong about was you predicted the first metaverse death which is strange because you also predicted that I have this later in the show. You also predicted that during we were both wrong. What? Actually happened was duck program legs for himself. That's true. So I'm gonna I'm gonna partially. Yeah, tell everyone what that So, um, which part the metaverse part the Zuck part, the programmed legs is that mean like on his figure in the metaverse. So I don't get it, he gave his, he launched a big like campaign about the metaverse in the fall, showed him his Avatar and it was basically a talking torso it was like, or so, and then they sort of relaunched it with updated graphics and gave him legs. That was the major. But the skin was right there was a TV, only one with legs so he can climb above everybody else faster. That's my true. But no way before before we get to that matter there was a scandal to the story. Where is because the legs themselves weren't created in the metaverse? They were actually wasn't in an imported graphic like it. Yeah, even that wasn't real. Other guy wasn't like, they programmed. It was like, in fact there was a quote from somebody who said programming legs is actually very hard. That was I believe that was I believe. That Squarespace website. So, I believe that. All right, that's where Damian was wrong. Here is Damien's. Partial credit for 2022. Oh, Jamie Damian predicted that, a major firm would sell shares of itself completely to employees to an employee stock plan. Yeah, Patagonia sold itself entirely to the environment. It's so when it's a win gonna get that's feels like part sentiment to Sentimental win. That is, that is a partial when all so predicted, the release of the meta diaper in the metaverse. Yeah. Well, it wasn't in the metaverse. The Meta diaper was something that a real human in the real world could wear a meta, brother did diaper. Yeah, it would recycle the nutrients. So that when you like Xavier yourself, you don't have to Jack out of the metaverse. You can stay plugged in yeah locked in the middle. Verse, the real thing that happened was Facebook announced the release of the metaquest pro headset. That looks like a diaper that you put on your face when you look at somebody wearing it you do want to take a dump so okay partial credit I don't want to take credit for that. Personal credit, whether you want it or not. And then the one thing that you actually got right in 2022 and this is a big one. Yeah. is you said, The culture wars replace the virus Wars. As States ban left corporations from operating in State Line. This is a major victory, major victory, but on take that ISS, Morningstar. I know not one Trends paper for ESG, that's a major win. That was a major major win saw that coming. That's Damien's. Ari will go through Aries because she's not here. Yeah, but she did she did say before the show began that we're not a lot to make fun of her but I that's not gonna. Oh yes, that is incorrect. That prediction is also wrong. So here are his predictions that were wrong. Arie predicted, that Coca-Cola Corporation will sell alcohol, Can I just say actual thing that happened was they had been selling alcohol for five years prior to that prediction. Can I say this goes along with a trend with a lot of Aries frictions Ari's predictions for the most part are kind of boring. I mean no offense are wow but they're just kind of like Coke sells something I mean, I don't know. Yeah it's not a prediction. Well you can get Ari to you can just really daunting for tomorrow. I'm yeah, I might be sick tomorrow. I want you to really go for it. Jesse, I don't want you to come back with, you know, Nike sells orange shorts telling a couple to Rob. And he was like, those are never gonna happen and I like that but a girl can wish that's a great prediction. You're really going for it and he robbed. Um, all right, predicted by Ari was Bumble Coke Spotify, become major metaverse players. Now, not only do I not really know what that means, I don't know but what really happened was Mark, Zuckerberg programmed himself legs. So I'm gonna say that Ari just well entirely, and to be fair, there are no major metaverse players, right? It's not. There's no major medical purpose, other thing. All right, predicted that bombus the company, I think of socks. You nobody cares but I don't know. How do you say the most expensive socks ever? They are that. And she predicted that as a result, they would IPO. And instead they did not have a prediction. Is that? That didn't happen? She did, they did actually consider it in February 2022. Why is it not a prediction? It's just, you know, we are not. Who are we? We're like Goldman Sachs analysts. What are we doing here? We don't make Market predictions. I don't know, that's not just style. Um, she also predicted on the back of that one. As a market analyst, she predicted the death of the shapewear industry, well, but don't socks kind of shape your calves if they're tight. So I mean, yeah. Bombas compression socks. Yes. Compression socks, do that for like old ladies who ride airplanes. That's what she's talking about. You're correct about like tons of ads for stocking or whatever that I know you don't rip. So there you found excitement over. Oh and tights. Just what do you watching exactly? Where you see all these ads on Instagram, they just pop up. And it's like these leggings with people trying to run knives, I want to be part of your Instagram. I like hearing. Instagram. I couldn't even think of the word tight, so I was calling a stocking. It's like I'm from the 20. Well 2020. Yeah, that leaves us with the one. All right. Got partial credit for nothing because she wasn't closed but she did get one prediction totally right? Yeah, she predicted that Kyle, her roommate would get a girlfriend that's not. Come on, Boom. It happens. It happens. That's not either. I've met her I've played volleyball with her. Oh, can't know. You can't run the soundboard here and then that leaves me. We're gonna skip Emma Larkin, because Emma, lurking is not here, and I'm not gonna make no, I don't like that. You're not doing them as predictions but that's about file agreements later. Yeah, tell HR I predicted the following. That we're totally false. I predicted that board. Lawsuits would become normal. And in fact know, that means there's a new Delaware law that makes holding boards accountable actually harder. Oh, so I predicted the opposite of what happened. That's kind of cool, though. Something happened, though. I predicted that the metaverse would become a militarized Zone as in like a good China and Russia and the US would all be vying on the metaverse that's coming for like four stuff. And what I got right, was none of that. What actually happened was Mark, Zuckerberg program legs for him. So he keeps saying that you gotta stop saying, no, that's the only thing that happened. So everything that that's what happened. I predicted that Greg Goff would become the CEO of Exxon. Instead Greg Goff is best friends with the CEO of Exxon, Darren Woods, who still the CEO of closed. It's closed. Yeah, I wasn't that close. I predicted that theranos verdict. Would abdicate investors forever from needing to do due diligence? Because when that verdict came down against Elizabeth Holmes, it basically was an investor, the investors won. Saying you committed fraud even though the investors himself did no due diligence on Elizabeth Holmes or theranos in the lead up to that, right? What happened instead was FTX collapse in a major. Major way and investors were did no due diligence and lost all their money. So I was wrong. They were not abdicated from doing due diligence. They still had to do it. Apparently, Well, I hope if there ever is a time where we're looking for investment, I hope they don't do their due diligence. Yeah, don't do us for us, know, you know what's gonna happen? We're gonna go look for investor Capital. Which by the way, if you're an investor and you have Capital feel free to throw somewhere away and and they'll be like it. We're gonna get like, the 900th degree. They're going to strip every horse layer, out of us and not give us any money. I predicted that Robin Hood memes. The meme stock people would actually turn to proxy voting. So, in stead of pumping up the price of something, they would pump the votes and they would vote out directors. I was totally wrong about that. Robin Hood. Even still a thing anymore. I don't even know. I had exists. I also predicted that the metaverse would launch a Madam mega church for meta Jesus. That's probably partly true. Isn't that America isn't America media Church? I was wrong, Mark. Zuckerberg gave himself legs. All right. So here I have partial credit. Yeah, I gave myself partial credit. I predicted the rise of the angry, White Zombie director, okay? Now if you don't know what a zombie director is, this is for you, Jesse, because the three people listened to show, probably do notice on me. Director is The zombie directors, someone who is A on the board investors, vote them out. They don't get 50% approval so they effectively get voted out as a member but because the votes are advisory votes. They they don't have to listen to them. They choose to stay on the board instead so they don't have investor support and they stay on. My prediction was that. A white director would not get sufficient votes and a diverse director would and the white director in protests, would stay on the board instead of giving their, I don't remember that level detail in their prediction. Do you make? That was my prediction. Okay. That was, this is like I copy pasted this. He was sure a white male director. Would refuse to leave due to a push for diversity. So, I got that wrong. Actually what happened was Egon Durban is of zombie, was a zombie director and stayed on the Twitter board after being voted out and got paid by Elon Musk. That's that's what happened in Stead so that worked out well, I predicted, you know, you're partly right though. In general. I feel like that. That what you just said is sort of a metaphor for the anti woke movement is right. Is that's why I give myself. Partial credit, angry, White, Zombie directors, sticking around so that unexplained black female. Leaders, don't take over the world. Yeah, they they only got it because they were black and female, not because they're qualified. And I predicted partial credit here, BlackRock becomes an ESG anti-hero, and that institutions are not take up their voting Choice know. And actually, I would say black rock is sort of an anti-hero. Yeah, I think that partially right about that. They it's a confusing thing because right, what's that? That statement about your enemy your your enemy hate is your friend or your buddy, the friend of your enemies, friends enemy, because somehow this year, I kind of like, BlackRock more than I did last year. I don't know what just because, Ron DeSantis hates them. It's really weird. I don't know. Yeah, I know it's, it's actually really uncomfortable because we spent two years at this company, making fun of Black Rock. And now we're in the position where we kind of have to defend them. That's really. We can all make fun of them while we while we do. But but less guess how much they take you. Seriously, when you make fun of the same thing that you are defending confusion. But the one I got right, was we, I predicted that free float would launch a product and we did we. Whoa. Stop you. What if we officially launched the product? I know we're getting closer. In fact, we just hired. Okay. You're using the platform has been on in 2022. Okay, it exists. It's okay. Is there. It's done and I just haven't seen the, we have no idea how to conceptualize. Yeah, we don't believe you and API. So we're just like, oh, it's still imaginary, it's just a data feed. You guys are like, I guess you get a victory, but I got to be honest. Only, I had an actual prediction that came true. Are you? I mean Ari's prediction is still silliness Kyle. And Matt was the only you predicted, Matt, you predicted that something that you're working on would happen. I mean, what are we doing here? What are we doing here? I'm the only one of actual intelligence. That's why I was thinking. That's what she said, that's what we did for 2022. So Damien, yeah. Now we do the 2022 introduction, like we're gonna keep going with this. This is just more predictions that we got wrong. And right, I'll try to go quickly on this. Yeah, please. Okay. I first of all I add we did hundreds of predictions because each week we did the four of us would make predictions all though. Jesse re you guys off and would chicken out and not making. Yeah. But the time but thank God you didn't because it really made my job today a lot easier. But let me just let me just. Yeah, they suck. Anyways, we've been told no yours. Don't suck Aries. Suck. Aries. Aries are born. I didn't say your sucked. I'm actually looking forward to your predictions. Here's the first thing I will say is that I probably deleted, 50, Elon Musk predictions because nobody cares. Nobody cares about Elon anymore. It's just it's too much. So we're not going to cover a lot of those. Let's start with some nose. Some we got a bunch of boring, bunch of pictures that didn't come true. Yeah. What was in the headlines today? No, I know, but he's just asked Twitter, employees to work from home because he doesn't want to pay rent. That is for really after telling them, they had because he ridiculed people from working from home. Did you know he was? He said, you met it was mandatory that you come into the office and just said, today, that you have to go work from home because they don't want to pay rent in San Francisco. All right, let me start with, let me start with two Elon Musk predictions that we got wrong. Matt, you predicted the Elon would join the board of Twitter that's that's I mean. It's a song, come on, that's so good. Instead, he bought Twitter and then disbanded the boards, so I don't know. I'm giving myself partial credit rating, that Elon Musk would buy the Phoenix Suns. The basketball team, that no way that's happening. Now he's a prize, right? I mean, somebody like, Elon anymore. Nobody likes the sun's got bought. Anyway, the sun's got bought for four billion so he could have bought 11. MBA teams for the amount he paid for Twitter. I I predicted a prominent female CEO would be fired, maybe Mary Berra. I'm wrong about that. I don't think a prominent. I mean, first of all, how many priorities were, yeah, there aren't that many unfortunately, and I don't think any of them had been fired. Ari predicted, optimistically that both Google. And Amazon would would either release racial Equity findings or announced a civil rights audit. That's not happening at Google or Amazon. Well, I mean, it's not now because Vivek says the number one question, ask your financial advisor is, did you vote? Yes, on our racial Equity audit. So, here's a big news. I said that Disney would make a major diversity hire as an ESG pittance for. Don't say gay problems and does Bob Iger count as a major diversity higher. Is that the cleanest teeth, ever known, whatever, whatever the opposite of that. I also predicted so many times because I was just just wanted to be true. That Melody Hobson would become the CEO at Starbucks. Meaning that Starbucks would have the the first S&P 500 company with black women in charge, both the CEO and chair. I didn't have, it didn't fail. That was wrong. But they did fall under your South Asian. They did they hired locksmith now we're seeing as the, as the new CEO. So that that's yeah, that's you know, something that's good. What about this one? Matt, you picked the Howard Schultz would be fired by Starbuck's. I mean he's leaving I feel like fired is what keeps me from being right about that, but I was pretty close. We had a lot of Bobby kotick predictions. Do you realize that the merger between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft still has not gone through? It's still pending well announced this I'm a whole lot was that. They announced it. A year ago in the fall it was like November. Get it over one of them by who cares. Let them buy. What do we do? This is where I disagree with Lina Khan because she's making an Anti-Trust case with this and it's like in the whole thing hinges on Call of Duty. Right. It says they already attendo habit. Yeah, yeah, the largest video game. You'd have too much control. It's like really really Facebook has a market but we're worried about Call of Duty. Maybe bring an antitrust case against the companies. That matter. Here's why I want it to go through is because I I still think that Microsoft actually has adults running the company and Bobby code to certainly is not an adult and I want them to take over Activation so they can get rid of Bobby kotick. That's yeah. Except the joke would be on you because 200 million dollars. Yes. Oh, not that bad here. How about some predictions that could still happen? Could still have like these? I like this one. I predicted that Charlie Munger would die two days after the CDC announced the official end of the pandemic. I think the pandemic is still happening. In China as we speak, right? So it's still up, Matt, you predicted a meadow War. I like this one, a meadow War I could still happen and it will happen. Yeah, it's gonna get anyone's there. This. How about this one? Are you predicted that Matt will get covid again? Have you had covid more than one? I didn't get covid twice. So okay, but that's still a lot. How about this? One from the great ml Larkin. Elon Musk will hire. Stuart Kirk remember Stuart Kirk. Oh yes, the CEO of Twitter. I like this one. Wow. Tell Jesse who's Stewart curcas. Stuart Kirk, it was the head of responsible investing. Now, let me say that again. It's true story responsible investing. Yeah, who spoke at a conference and basically said, responsible investing that climate change is not something that a responsible investor should care about until like basically, you're everyone's Dead who was, so he got fired from his job. Where was I HSBC? I want to say or Barkley's HSBC. I think he got fired from his job and he's not totally. He's the thing is I agreed with a lot of what he said about the bullshit, but he did say that like the world was full of climate alarmists and he didn't like their shrill voices. There's something like that so it was a good prediction. He should be alarmed about the climate. I mean, you. Come on. Stuart Kirk disagrees with you. How about this one for all the members of the FBI and CIA listening. Please just take your headphones off for a few seconds. I like this one Emma predicted that she was gonna commit. An unforgivable act against Brett, Kavanaugh that could still happen. That could we haven't heard from Adam in a while, maybe she's maybe that's why I haven't heard. Jesse looks shocked. But yeah, unforgivable act yeah. I predicted that the mainstream media would copy us and start to refer to people like Mark Zuckerberg as corporate dictators. That could still happen. It gets that feels closed. Actually the there's a there's a lot of moves against dual class now that's right. Like it so it could happen. How about this? One from you. Matt Tesla gets an activist investor that going to happen. Yeah I'm guaranteeing that's gonna happen. Because what is it 23s right now? Because that's a shit show of operation over there at Tesla. I love this one from you. Matt and at first I thought there's no way this is gonna happen but the more I thought about it I thought maybe you know what, it could probably still happen in my. Matt, you predicted that SBF. That's Sam bakeman fried. Yeah. Who's now in jail in the Bahamas? Adam Neumann. The, the poster child for failing upwards. He, you know, he was, he orchestrated the Billion dollars in his pocket as you do and Elon Musk would join forces on and create a mega app. I feel like oh, that could still happen in some Bizarro world, right? The problem is that SBF is going to be in jail. It's just really hard so coordinate so just say logistically, I know, but it's hard to coordinate but it's possible. But let's give it a little probability. How about this one? I predicted that bald Bob chapek, right? Who was the the CEO of Disney would become a gay icon? He would become a big bald gay Bob icon right now. Look, I know that hasn't happened yet but the anti woke movement, the right wing is taking credit for ousting, Bob chapix, so it's still popular. He becomes okay? It's not matter. You don't have to be gay to be a big gay icon, right? Like Lady Gaga. The only thing that hinges on is mostly if he keeps his stylist because there's no way. Oh, gee bald Bob shape. It was gonna be any sort of icon for anyone that's gay. You had a prediction. I still think I hopefully could come true. I like this prediction that Elon Musk buying Twitter, is the beginning of the end of section 230 communication. See that very well could be True. I'd look gotta hand it to the Republicans in the House of Representatives who have no ability to do anything except for investigate things that no one cares about this would be one thing they could agree on. I feel like this is something they could do. And finally, I have to throw you a bone Jesse because unfortunately for you, joined us late, you don't have a lot of predictions. You predicted, this could still happen, why you booing Jessie. Can you blame me? For not making predictions. This is like a tough crowd. No, no, no. I like it. I like it. Uh, you predicted that you hear Pepsi would stop targeting ads to children as female leadership and emotional intelligence grows, not that could still happen much to Vivic, Rama Swami's, you know, Chagrin that could still happen. Now, I'll look up the Pepsi board. I think that one is actually a significantly higher probability than SBF, Adam Neumann, and Elon Musk making a mega app for sure. Does that mean? I win over you, Matt, I win something over here. Yes, let's dial it back. Here's three, almost predictions. They almost came true. I like all these, I predicted a massive covid Outbreak on a cruise ship in August, would would lead to an unsettling. Start to the school season. Now, I was right about the mass of covid where that was 100% nobody cares anymore and yeah, nobody cares. Yeah. So it did nothing. I also predicted in a strange way first of Why I I predicted that SBF would be sent to prison. I'm right about that. You've sent to prison and but that Larry Fink would steal his acronym and Rebrand himself super badass. Think I don't think that happened. That's not going to happen. I'm proud that I pretty the SPF would be in prison. And finally, I was kind of a slam dunk prediction, you predicted that to combat racism. That Wells Fargo would appoint Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq, to which board of directors? Now possible. Here's what did happen. They did a point of black female director to their boss, unfortunately, this rarely happens. I don't, I have no idea why. There are just are so few, black, female directors. That's Jesse. Thank you. You're absolutely right a better quite optimistic enough. Matt. Yeah, that's right. I thought, I thought they would go as Shack is like a, like a token, but they actually got a real director before I get before I get to the ones that we actually predicted. Right. Let's talk about some of our guests that were on the show this year, Emily chew the great Emily Chu. I predicted that she'd get promoted Based on her appearance on our show. Dip, Matt. Get Emily 2. Get promoted last year. Do you know? Do you know the verdict is? Oh no, she was already the head of everything. Well, so I also egotistic, also predicted that Bruce Khan of msci would also get promoted based on his appearance on our show. Did he get promoted now survey says, He did, he left, msci and realize this as a portfolio manager at another company, which is clearly a promotion over like being like a client salesperson at clearly based on his appearance here. I think he probably just evidence is right here, the three of us. Come on. Yeah. The most beloved show and he history, the most beloved ESG podcast in history. That's a, we don't support that. It's not it's because we haven't paid for it but we don't we don't know that. It's not a new Shaw, write a new show. Are you predicted? He will never talk to us again, Matt, has he spoken to us since his appearance? the survey says, He has he's talked to me many times. Oh, so are you wrong? How about this one? Future guests Vivic. Roomba Swami. I predicted that we make fun of vivek's. Anti-esg crusade enough that he that he finally notices us. Wow, survey says no no you email him, he emailed him and he did respond very quickly. That was it. Let's get to some wins, some predictions, actually happened. I predicted that the media coverage of Pi Day. You know what Pi Day is? Jesse Pi Day, March 14th. Yes. Well, far outpaced of international women's day, unfortunately. I'm right about that. No, one cares about International, you are all right. Are you predicted Twitter? Harassment Scandal? I mean everything at Twitter's just say Twitter and you predicted I predicted that the stock trading ban trying to be happening there in Congress. Is a much do about nothing. I think I'm right about that. That's no. Looks like it might happen but it hasn't yet. Okay. Well okay, okay. Matt you predicted a stakeholder lawsuits against Bobby kotick. Yes. There's several including yeah, one in May from New York City, pension group there. I predicted that a company. Finally, yells loudly about abortion rights in a meaningful Way. Emma said it would be Bumble. We're both right about Bumble. It was very actively involved in pro-choice politics, Matt, you predicted more guns. I don't know what that means. Yeah, unfortunately, you're right, it was more guns, Ari predicted, that chipotle would be the next Starbucks fighting unions and actually nails that, right? Because right here, in the great state of Maine Chipotle, shut down a location. Just because the unionized they shut it down. Yeah. Now maybe he's got it. Everyone amazed. Got their E coli from someone else. I predicted to NFL would would punish black quarterback to Shawn Watson way more than they were target. White that they would punish white owner Dan Snyder. I think I'm right about that, right? Oh, been public been punished? He's a he's being forced to sell the team. Happened yet hasn't happened. Okay. Well, and what's the punishment? How did five billion dollars just punishment? He got 11 games, Suspension 11 games, suspension and a 300 million dollar contract and the Cleveland Brown fans were actually celebrating the fact that he sexually harassed therapist Jesse when you edit the show. Take this, take that one out of that, one out, Ari predicted that the Peter tilian, dork Blake, Master's with lose in Arizona. She was right. Thank God. I predicted that Elon Musk. I, this might be my best prediction of the year. I predicted the Elon Musk would accidentally lay himself off. And and Matt, I think I might be right, because you told me when I was away that he announced a Twitter poll, whether he should be CEO and they said, no, and I think he kind of accidentally, right? He laid himself up but I think he immediately rehired himself, okay. But For his own replacement Ari are we predicted that more deer will die. But I mean again, Jesse, you know I'm trying to say right? I mean what kind of a prediction is that, right? There's a similar one on this year's. Oh, really? How are you, hot? For her on for her sake. But yeah. And finally, Matt, you predicted that the Twitter board would say yes to Elon Musk buying because half of them are in the bag. It's, that's right. I mean, you got that, right? I mean, I would say that was genius prediction. Yeah, I also have a category here called probably didn't happen, but I don't really care because I just like this prediction, okay? We got the great ml lurking. This I think this is really was the best thing she did was just kind of silly prediction she predicted. That Dan Schneider actually has 15 wives and he handed over control of the commanders to his favorite sister wife. I just like that just like that. She also predicted the pizza robot will become sentient and declare war with Italy. Well, that's a good one. Yeah, I really maybe my my favorite is that she predicted that Joe Rogan would become an ESG advisor. I don't know why. I just like, no, that's not my favorite. I do like a sentient Pizza. Robot, declaring war with Italy. And Matt you had two that I liked that. I don't think you're going to happen. You predicted Matt Disney gay. Scrub. I don't know what that means. I love it. Love it. He also predicted that Domino's moves to all metal boxes to avoid further recycling controversy. I just like, I love that. I would love like a car for a pizza like delivery person with a car full of metal box. It's like, instead of, you know, the Milkman boxes you've got your like dominoes box outside here. Frequent buyer. And finally someone wrote this in my absence I'm going to call this just this is just you just you guys being mean just being mean. You predicted that I will give all my shares and free flow entirely to the rest of the team and quit when I realized how apparently there's no need for me anymore because shows went out when I was away that I wonder who made that. Just me and finally, my favorite prediction of the Year, great Ari. A hot dog prices will go up. Yeah. I did. Inflation. See Jesse I was crapping on Ari but in the end it was my favorite of the Year.
