During a crash is actually the worst possible seat, which is in the back of the plane in the middle seat. Yeah. Well, because you're cushioned by the people right now. But who would have known those crafty Southwest octogenarian directors, who would have known, who would have known that seating yourself next, to a baby in the back of a plane is the best best place to be in our Finally, some good news out of a social media company headline of the week? No. Twitter. Suffers massive, outage leaving users unable to tweet, message and more. You know, how many headlines I saw about this. Yeah. Why is it so important none. I saw none headlines, other than one. You just read. Oh I had like six of them in our five. Who cares? This is this is a whole bucket of who cares? All right. in our, why do these people hate business pants? So much headlines in the week. Oh, This is a Fortune Magazine. This is baby. You should stop giggling at work. Laughter padding is undermining your input. It could be making your colleagues uncomfortable. What the hell what did they doing it? For Fortune Magazine. What is this? I don't know. But I, you did. Yeah, because I loved much laughter padding. Yeah, you know, it laughter padding like this. Ha ha. Okay. I'm a completely lost. I find nothing funny. So it's true. You don't laugh at all. And our, why does Dave keep shining marks cereal bowl headlines of the week? Zuckerberg to managers don't just manage also code and contribute or else resigned. Synced message, I'm not sure. Wait, but I lost it. Like, do you mean like The Shining? I don't know, I don't know. I just I just had an image of someone just like kissing marks but by constantly, cleaning all his forks. I don't know. Just do just doing this OCD level of bold, shining. Yeah. That's what I mean, you've had managers what they do. Do they do? They mostly tell you to do something. What else? I mean, I assume they go home and sleep in a pile of money. Well, I like that. I want you to give me a break, take over, and do some, do some even doing that for seven whole minutes. So, you're exhausted. All right, I have a few for you. Yeah, you know, in our, I mean what really is a pledge. Oh, I prefer to say I actually allegiance to the flag of the United States of America because pledges are pointless headline of the week. BP, CEO, Looney on climate Target. Rollback, fuhrer. People will not judge us. On our words, they will judge us on our actions. Well, now that you mention it, Matt, I used to have to pledge allegiance to the flag when I was a wee lad. Mm-hmm, I I wasn't taking it seriously. I mean the hell it meant. I mean, what does that even mean? That's what I mean, it's pointless. We should be actioning Allegiance. We should at least be getting down on one knee and staring at people on. Colin. Kaepernick, would beg to disagree. Oh, see, I was thinking about Jamie dimon there so in our, You know. Rights are. Pretty. Whoa. What if and just stay with me? Now we took a list of companies that were good at Human Rights. And made them look bad at woke his arm. I mean, I'm not saying I'm a genius but this methodology is foolproof headline of the week. Break through survey gives Americans guide to woke corporations. So I went to 1792 exchange who put out a report about the already. I'm afraid whenever your company is like, it's about 1792 when you couldn't vote and and black men were worth 3/5 of a white man. I'm already a little concerned. Well this is what we're going back to this is this is the exchange period that we like they created a methodology to figure out you know that they rated a thousand companies on their wokism. And the way that they did it, there's two, there's six criteria, but I could not find their data set anywhere, like, where they use the data. What day do they use, they do linked to certain like, like documents at the, at the companies, which is interesting and cpds, but yeah, a lot of fancy PDFs but mostly they use a human rights index, like a list of companies based on how good or bad they are in human rights, right? And they inverted it, that's what they did. But look let's be real. Just think are not glass Lewis. I mean right because that's important takeaway here know. My takeaway was like credit to them for having a methodology. That's pretty good. I thought that was good. Um, all right. Next In our I quiet. Quit a few months ago and I was about to rage apply to jobs, but the reason tea is in my feel is making me just want to labor loaf, while employ boxing, which is being employed while playing Xbox headline of the week. Resent ISM, when you hate your job enough to do more than quiet quit. But are too anxious about the economy to leave. It is anything that real what? You just words real, the second part. What is that thing? Yeah, so apparently they've named now. The thing you do when you hate your job, okay? But don't like you, you it's too much to quiet. Quit like just going nine to five is too much, you hate it too much but you're afraid to leave your job because the economy said everybody, what are they have to? I don't know why we do leave us alone. I do like the idea of employee boxing. Okay? I feel like that should be a thing playing Xbox while on the job. in our, Do you guys want to go out and see a movie or should we ask various fake human robots from the internet to answer pointless questions instead to three, four five. Okay. The robots won that vote headline of the week chat, GPT versus the new Bing. Check out their very different answers to 20 Questions. Okay. This is business. Insiders, new full-time job. Oh this, these AI Wars. This chat bot Wars. That this is the, this is the new thing that's going to take over for 10 years. At least, literally, we're gonna get the business, seven months of business inside are asking questions of each AI bot to get better for the pandemic. This is the real. This is the real thing. It's too bad. There's not enough resent teaism. We have to ask the chatbots. In our, this is my last one, you can go back to God in our, thanks for coming in for your performance review. I noticed a few things first, your constant giggling doesn't feel authentic and I'm concerned, you may be an idiot all. So when you reheat your Trader, Joe's, frozen teacup Masala, it keeps exploding and leaving little bits on the inside of the microwave. It's becoming a health issue. And finally we prefer if you no longer spoke out loud, took bathroom breaks or mentioned your family in any way it's under view that you are a productive human being headline of the week.

They make bullets, say, but metrics And they told me that when they say Spotify, they really mean Daniel eck. Basic because he controls 35% of the, company's total voting power and is the founder CEO and chair. So, I guess this headline is really trying to say. Daniel Eck is silent on latest controversy tell, Dad headline of the week. That's always keyed into our Zeitgeist here. I like this. It is good. Whoever he is. Joe Rogan. Draws backlash for anti-semitic comments, Spotify silent on latest controversy, you know, yeah, it's Danielle. Thank you. Pointed out, Spotify doesn't really. Make profits. So he's not gonna get rid of Joe Rogan. They've been profitable, two quarters in the last, like, since 2018, I don't understand this anti-semitic, Joe Rogan, he loves it, he needs it. I mean, it's something you know, our nothing makes a whiny, billionaire happier than firing 7,000 employees. Strive Asset Management. Already preparing, a press release to take credit.

As one former worker says sexual harassment left her terrified. Wow. First of all, yeah, The human rights Watchdog. I mean, I imagine that. Maybe that's part of the input for the new woke corporations. Like so that makes it look, this makes me McDonald's, you know, Chris. They actually, they call it risk at high risk, medium risk, low risk and it was like woke risk. I just think it's exciting that we learned that the this kid that's always on our show. This dumb kid, his aunt. It turns out is the director at McDonald's did, we didn't know this? And we didn't know that. And it's a little sad because his aunt's about to get fired. Yeah.
