Chickened out. Live from free float. Second office in Hawaii. Its business pants Friday on this lovely, April 7th. Yeah. Featuring your favorite Jessie. The money Whisperer Damien Rollins. You're just Damien, I guess I don't have your guest host for today. Are the data Queen. Yeah. On today's weekly wrap up, we got car spying butter, sculptures and dresses, from the 1960s. we're gonna tell you what the story of the week, the goodly of the week in the exhausting ghost of the week was BS man. Mattie is at the beach. Are you calling Madness? But this is so excited. Exciting. I mean, I'm not exciting, I'm excited. I had trouble this week. Are why there were so many stories, really? Okay. Then maybe you could tell me. If I forgot one, I started at the top with something. We don't typically cover here, which I personally try to stay away from purely political stories because they're just so many other podcasts that do it better. And I get very depressed thinking about it all. But the, the top story has got to be the former president. I still can't believe this guy was President former president. Donald Trump was arraigned in New York City on Tuesday. Arraigned a real actually was arrested, right? Like he is undertale, yes. Well, he's been released right, right? But during that time, briefly, Arraignment. He was under custody. That's know. I was mostly worried because my Courtney was traveling to New York and I was worried that she'd go the same day and things would be crazy. But as it turns out, nobody really cared nothing really happened. There wasn't a big violent protests just sort of happened and then it it's over. Thank God. Yeah, I heard they were gonna like bring him in under tunnels but then I saw him just like walking, right in, I think the reality is that even the crazies in this country are just starting to care less and less about this lunatic. Hopefully. Hopefully, yeah, that's the first story that weak Second Story is something that we talked about Jesse, but I think is completely appropriate for this show. The story is that the Starbucks Union essentially. They were protesting specific directors. They're trying to pressure Specific board members at Starbucks, because shareholders passed a proposal at the annual meeting asking for a report on labor practices at Starbucks. So the union is going right after the directors, to pressure them to enact this resolution and right. This is very unusual and perfect for our show, really? Because we are constantly trying to put the who into the business world. What try? We're constantly trying to expose who these people actually are. Yeah, this is why Starbucks is your Golden Child, right? And this is before I picked them as my Golden Child, it's weird. How Starbucks is like this for me? They're going after directors. This is great. They need our data and to be clear, they're not going after them. They're not violently protesting and they're just trying to get their attention to say, please support us. Yeah. I think they do need our data, though. These unions need to reach out. Well, once we start, Trying to sell the unions. I think actually will have a lot of clients in the union world. We haven't done that yet are no. Okay. Okay. My third story of the week. Something we also covered Matt went into a lot of detail about this. I don't know if this is a big deal. It seemed like a big deal to me for some reason. But the WWE and UFC owner Endeavor agreed to a massive bro, merger The reason why I picked this again. I think it speaks to our world, our data. We're able to kind of expose the influence a lot of these creepy men have over their companies, were able to expose the networks. They have together and to be sure as Matt pointed out and we have pointed out many times the show before these are vile men associated with sexual assault, sexual harassment cultures at work that are really only a certain type of man would feel comfortable that. So anyway so this is why I picked this story. I thought Matt did a good job uncovering. A lot of the data behind this. I wonder if they're going to do a crossover. You would think, right? Why would they first, I don't even really know what what UFC is its It's it's the people in the cage, right? But is it scripted like wrestling? Is it? Actual fighting was a scripted. I think. It's actual. Okay, you think I have no idea but now you wouldn't know, right? Because they're saying that Vince McMahon who was the executive chair. Now, at this new company, Is. Again, taking over creative. So maybe he's and the fourth big story of the week. Unfortunately, we are back looking at Elon Musk. It's hard to avoid him around here. This story came out last night on Reuters, Reuters broke, this special report, Tesla employees reportedly passed around images of crashes, road rage and owners kids taking by car cameras. So, the story according to Reuters is that they have been collecting Images video audio and looking at usually sharing it giggling at it. Creating memes looking at naked people. Spying whatever. Whatever it is. The terms and conditions, right? Everybody just accepted sure to be objected to mocking. Yes. Are you? I think you're right, right. I think we do essentially live in a world where Yes, we even if we think we're not being constantly monitored because I always use my phone as an example. Once I prompt her to help me my iPhone. She will do something for me, right? So that means she's always listening for her name, which means she's always listening to me, right? Yeah. Totally right. Okay, you could turn that off in settings, but most people don't know. And let me give you a little bit of background to, to test this week. This is another reason why I picked Tesla. Tesla also released its annual proxy statement yesterday. One of the shareholder proposals is asking for a key person risk report. What this means is that since the company is so heavily controlled by its techno King Elon Musk. And that's not a joke that word actually appears in the proxy statement. He is, he literally called himself a king, that's his title, right? Yes, of this so-called public traded company. So this Cheryl proposal essentially is asking for a robust succession plan. In case the Techno King gets hit by a truck. Remember we talked about this, Jesse what are they called that hit by truck policy? Yes. Is what here's what else is happening at Tesla. It's so called governance expert on its board. Hiromichi, Mizuno is stepping down. and, For Tesla co-founder anymore, right? I think that's true and Tesla co-founder and former Tesla CTO. JB Straubel is joining the board. So this is even more than it's ever been. Elon musk's. Empire. His monarchy. Oh. So this is this is like an old bro, joining the Board. This is a Tesla co-founder in fact a former a CTO former CTO Nice. And finally, if you were already depressed by everything, I've already said about Tesla and Elon Musk. I saw a article just this morning out of semaphore. The headline is before meeting with Elon Musk, top advertisers privately debate, his racist, Those are my four stories are that I do a good job that I missed out on some big stories. I think you did a great job. I'll cover the big stories, don't worry. Oh, okay. I thought that was my job. The key person risk that just really tickles me because the key person is just one person, right? So when we just call it, the Elan risk, you know? Ari in one of their quarterly filings, they cited the risk that Elon controls so much of the company that if that, if anything were to happen to Elon, you know, that's a major risk for Tesla and for chairlift. And yet there's no prescription to this problem. They don't suggest what they could do about the problem. I wonder how much they spend on. Secure. Oh, for sure. I would think it's a time there was. Yeah there was recently a story about his security guards watching him pee or something. Go into the bathroom with him or there's some strange story. There's always some strange Mists around Elon Musk. Yeah. All right. Well Jesse why don't you go? First I'm gonna have to go with Trump being a rain. Seems like the Easy Choice. No, totally impressive historical, easy. Yeah, that's gotta be it. I mean, that will be and I'm excited by it. Every time there is a I mean as this keeps going, it's gonna be the story of the week because it's just impressive. Like last week, that was his story the week. Was it a story? It was he was in his. It was indicted. Yeah, yeah. So I'm gonna go with I'm actually gonna go with the Starbucks Union. Hmm, trying to pressure, the individual board members, and I'm going to leave it up to you Damien to break the tie. Okay, unless you pick something else completely What you got? I might just because we voted for Trump last week. I think Trump was our story the week last week when he was indicted, it's gonna be a story week every week, but I'm gonna go with you Ari. I love how this lands directly into the board saber metrics world. So if for all the protesters out there, I hope there's a lot of them, listen to our show, reach out to us, we'll help you protest people. Peacefully. Of course. We had the day to help you. And intelligently, of course, of course. Well no, I don't agree with that, Jesse. It could be stupid in a name. I like stupid because some of these protests yeah, they had, they had Billboards, they had sketches, they had a brass band, they had a butter sculpture, Jesse, Is that? It was a Land O'Lakes, CEO. Beth Ford who was a Starbucks board member so that's my boy, I grew with you are All right. Well, that was the week. Moving on to Goodluck of the week. Woo, who's up? Yeah. Good list of the week. This is why our listeners are tuning in. So, here we go. We're gonna start with the most exciting for me, not to sway your votes or anything, but The all-new amprius 500 watt hour per kilogram. Battery platform. Is here already loves batteries that down for me. Yeah. What are you talking about this battery man? It is in production. This is not a future thing, it is actually being produced right now and they're clean of 500 hours per kilogram has been tested by an outside company to verify up. So, what does that mean? Yeah, this is twice the energy density of batteries that are currently in Tesla vehicles, right? Twice, density means half the size. All right, and it's also twice, a specific density. Which also means Half the weight. Why is this important? Because it is a giant leap. It's like okay, do you remember buying a thumb drive for had storage capacity of one gigabyte for 40 dollars? And then the next year you get you get a they were giving it up free. Do you remember that? This is that when I didn't care about that, then Hey, you. Were true. True. So, um, Info on cost and the batteries will first be used in the space industry. I think more specifically drones, then in TVs, the companies currently building a plant in Colorado to crank out the batteries by 2025. So this is going to be a deal this made in the United States. Like right now cars have a range of what 200280 miles right for like the normal Vehicles, this will give you 500 miles. On one large, I don't want to depress you are, but I'm still not going to. This is amazing. I've started to go 180 on this whole EV world, not just because Elon Musk seems to dominate a lot of it. But because I thought there was a chance at some point to get away from Individual Car ownership in general to get away from the buses obsession with roads and highways, I just really want a high-speed train system. Can there can there be a battery that creates a high-speed train system in this country? All right? They don't need batteries for that, okay? But then something happen. Can something happen if you shrink the United States, if you make, you know, Fly Over States, just have a portal, then you don't even need to go to Los Angeles or California. I don't even care. I don't just take me to Boston. Just get me to New York. I'm fine with that. DC, Philly? I don't need to go anywhere else. Well, now you can get Montreal. Well, that's what they're on, one chart right by 2025. You'll get there and back in one charge. I still have to be on the highway where people are cutting me off not using their signals tailgating being idiots. Okay. All right. So that is, this is huge. I know there seems to be a battery announcement every week, but I just want to highlight how huge this is. Well, no, it's not. You just said it's half the size. Yeah. Lots of power here. All right, number two. Janet judge, Janet, produce defeats conservative Dan Kelly and closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race. I love that. I mean there was no way I couldn't include this this week, so good about that. Tuesday was election day in Wisconsin, and for the first time in 15 years, the states majority or the state supreme court will be a liberal majority. It is an instant relief for abortion, Advocates, since a lawsuit seeking. To repeal the state's abortion ban is expected to make it all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. I love that and besides abortion also voting rights and gerrymandering AKA Republican drawn at legislative Maps were also at stake also, she won by double digits. So this wasn't like yeah this was Wisconsin. People saying no. Yes go away. There was a ton of money spent on this election, right? Election spending was close to 45 million dollars. Making it the most expensive election horrible. Its kind ever is shattered. The previous record of 15 million dollars set in 2004 for an Illinois Supreme Court, to Ari like, all these leaps in, see you all excited are until that last part that last part to press. Oh, I mean, yeah. Not like she asked to spend that much money. She needed to do what she needed to do. I mean, it is, it is a hot hotly contested topic. So yeah. 45 million dollars is an insane amount of money and also, you know, it'll be interesting to see what kind of corporate money there is in there. But, you know, we don't have those stats yet. So yay for judge. Janet and yes, Wisconsin way to go. And for my last story for my last good least of the week this week. The FDA makes overdose reversal drug Narcan available over the counter. Emergent biosolutions, which is the only producer of Narcan, is the the name brand, right? But the actual drug is now now looks zone now. Looks so I think I'm saying it wrong, but emergency Solutions is a first company to grip to gain approval to sell to sell this without a prescription. The company announced their product will be in shelves, by the summer, making Narcan over, the counter will have, I mean, it's gonna have a impact citing this project from the University of Washington, That was a five-year project. They found that 94% of Overdose reversals are administered by opioid users, less than one percent of odd of odie's recorded were, were with the help of EMTs, or police officers. So, it is just people just buy standards, being around that are able to use that uses most of the time, right? It just calling 911 and having somebody With it in their you know, medicate administering it. So you're using the the main consumer of this product will be drug users who will have this. I'm not saying, but they just, I'm not saying they're going to be the ones that are going to go out and buy this. I am saying they will now be able to purchase this without a prescription but who will Who will typically buy this? Who was their target consumer, the drug, the drug user, okay? Interesting and a study from the CDC found that bystanders were present but unable to provide life-saving help and 46% of fatal overdoses in 2021. So, if those people were armed with this, I should use the word armed and today's world. If those people were prepared with this, then more lives would be saved. So yeah. I was really excited to see this, that's the story. Depression. If you are, I feel I feel saddened by that, the whole, the whole thought of all, that of people being addicted to drugs to people overdosing. Well, I guess so, right. Like, we're still in an opiate crisis, it's still your happening and I don't know that everybody that overdoses isn't. It is a regular user or true could be true. Could be true. And ODS are up since drugs have been laced with more deadly things lately, I don't even have the right language. Yeah, more of Other people around friends, family, whoever to help out. I mean I'm I'd also guessed that maybe sometimes people are hesitant to call you EMTs. Whether it's called, of course, whether it's just scared or whatever, right? Like yeah. And you know, even towns like my town had held a training and if you signed up to go to, for just You know, the people in the community to go and learn how to use it and learn the signs and you got one for free to keep in your car to keeping your house. Just in case you needed to write. And I wouldn't say that we live in a town where, you know, the opioid pandemic is Very noticeable. So you know, communities are, we're already doing this to promote just regular people being able to use it and now it is already available. All right, I feel equally. I feel the same way about this. I say about think about the EV battery is. I'm I'm thinking Why can't we attack the root causes of the drug use in the first place? Just like, why can't we have? Why can't we get rid of cars? That's how I feel that, okay? That's making my choice. Very pleased, this battery and Evie battery. But yes not even better. This isn't the same isn't it? The same drug companies making people opioid addicts in the first place and now they're coming up with a remedy in case they OD. I just feel like it's a cycle of abuse thinking this particular company did not come up with that, but They do spend millions of dollars lobbying to government. So it's not surprised that they were the first to gain approval. My point is that, this makes my choice for goodness, that we very easy. What is it? Let's hear it. It is absolutely the Supreme Court victory in this country. Really is one of the few things this week that made me feel extremely hopeful about our future and you're right he really beat him badly. Yeah so this was a state that voted for Trump right in 2016 until he Clinton. So this is important it's very important this is supposedly the state but Hillary Clinton skipped. Okay. Well, that's framed then. This is just great news. Yeah, great news. This is good news. However, we will see in six years because Supreme Court, Justices get reelected in Wisconsin, every six years so, well, I'll take six years. That's good enough. I will also be voting for Wisconsin. Nice, this is great. All right. Well, that was good. Least of the week. Now. Should we take a deep breath before moving on to exhausting this of the actually Ari? Yeah. I'm happy to show off. This to you right now, my magic mind. Are you? And we're just gonna be over here. Well, breaths, you're gonna be deeply energized and we're going to be here, being this for. You are special because you're complaining yesterday. You didn't get any of the magic mind, drink. Only me. So I'm gonna just rub it now. All right, so after you take a drink, remind us what, what this is, and what it's helping. Has it been working for you like Staying off. Caffeine not only has been working for me. But it's been working for me. What what is it? So he can't you tell me incredible speech patterns. I love matcha. I love the taste of it but some people think it's a little grassy. Is there like some Citrus or like, what would you say it tastes like Yeah, there's there's enough of a sweetness to counteract any kind of cool. What's the word accurate Taste of just straight up green tea. There's a nice I don't find this to be, I find this. I don't find this to be objection at all. I find actually to be quite tasty. I was actually worried that before I started drinking this, that it would have a strange off-putting taste. I crashed constantly which is why I'm constantly drinking coffee. I was really just looking for a smooth way to keep alert. We do these shows every day of the week. I have to be creatively on drives, me crazy, and exhaust me. So, I was willing to take this no matter what, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Jesse it tastes good. It tastes nice. I like it. I can't wait to get my yeah. How can we?

And look at me. I'm I'm so confident in my creative abilities and my energy levels that I was able to hand off hosting this show to Ari, I don't care. I mean, yeah, I could lose my job, I don't care. And then, every Friday we can do this before exhausting us of the week. Let me tell you, you're needed this week. Let's go. Jesse. What do you have, right? So I'm kicking it off kicking off exhausting us of the week with a story about dress code. So, you know, a lot of business places, a lot of not here for sure, but a lot of business places have dress codes that are more specific about what women wear than what the men wear and there was An yes. Exactly. There was an article this week about a Spanish Airline wailing and that is a high pronounce that I've never known how to pronounce that way. I mean Volaris to fly in Spanish so I'm guessing okay on that. I love. Don't quote me on the pronunciation. Though, but weighs female cabin crew are required to wear high heels of between two eyes, two to three inches. God, what's there's more? It gets worse Foundation that matches their skin tone and let me tell. I don't know, I Hope Foundation about once in my life and it was for a wedding that I was in and everyone was getting their makeup done. It's bad. It does not. Oh, I thought you were Foundation when I visited the office. No, that's just blowing that's good. And then on top of the foundation and the heels, they have to wear mascara and lipstick but the lipstick has to be discreet. They have to wear lipstick. Those are those are the stipulations. However, now when we here is this, we go to the men male fight attendance had to Simply keep a clean and neat appearance. No stipulation of shoes. No stipulation of how they had to do their hair or if they had nothing just It look like me. I think. Yeah, your hair cut would not. Know. Airline was. I am exhausted at how little they were fined issued. A penalty of 30,000 euros for a policy that Catalonia's Labor Department. Said, unfair burden on female crew members compared with their male counterparts. Yeah, no crap. Oh yeah. But three 30,000 euros is pennies compared to what the company brought in which was 187 million dollars in Revenue in 2022. Well, come on charge more. I mean, as angry as I am about the makeup and I am, you don't want to hear me rant about the makeup industry. I drive my wife crazy awful, but requiring them to wear high heels in an airplane cabin. I know this is three inches honestly, like, 19. This isn't crap in heels abusive. This is it's totally unfair. It's totally exhausting like we should be passed this. Let them wear what they want and wait, David. I can do one better. Did you know that? Yes. So, flight attendants. Female flight attendants. That war heals early in the days of like playing commercial planes. First being a thing would put little dents on The on the, on the floor of the cabin. So really. So airplane, manufacturers, reinforced the cabin, floor instead of banding heels, then a little more scary, having this conversation. Sorry in the case of an emergency. How is it safe? It's not take the shoes out. Is that true? Yeah I'm sure I got the first thing I do and then they have to go walk around crazy. Wait so just see has the airline been told to at least stop this? So they're just fine. The verbage is that they were required to wear so I'm assuming that this has changed, okay? Well, okay, then find notwithstanding, that's a victory. Yes. Yes, fine should be. The flight attend. Sure, they should get a lot of money for feet. I know they'll get 30 cents each but Okay. Some all birds. They that would be a great shoe. It really would. Okay, moving on to something. Equally or more exhausting is our businesses profiting from National Parks. So here's the headline National Park visits are surgeon which we love But one firm is making unexpected. Millions So here's the story. Visitors, driving in to Montana's Glacier National Park. This summer must buy a vehicle pass on recreation.gov. The pass is free, but there's a fee to book the reservation. Visitors might assume that and that like entrance fees to parks that these fees are helping pay for improving, trials, or expanding the volunteer program, but a chunk of that money and up with consulting, firm Booze Allen Hamilton. OH, gets paid every time. A user makes a reservation on recreation.gov per its government contract. And here's, here's some numbers for you. In its bid for the contract, which was five years ago, it's up for Renewal this year, Booz Allen estimated it would receive 87 million in the first five years. They had invoice last year. In November, they had invoice the government for more than 140 million. So there was 10 months on accounted for and they did their 87 million. Wow, they're not just handing that money back to the National Park system. That's the contract or what the government is saying to justify this because obviously there's critics and there's, you know, National Park. Fans and and people writing in, they're saying that it reduces risk for the government. And that the company Booze Allen is, you know, making the process and the app and the experience much better and like all of the stuff. So, that's the argument. It seems really lame to me. I can't even believe they're making this much money. Like can't you just make it like a set fee and set of a per transaction, right? Type of this should be a pro. This should be a pro bono thing. I would think part of yeah, conservation plan for sure. Like there has to be profit out there that could take control of this website and make it just as good as it is now and not charge any and not. How about just probably just like one person to Booze Allen doing this right because the website is pretty basic. I mean, don't get me wrong. I actually hate how much I like using that. Website it's super easy they did a great job. Yeah but you but it is definitely one person just doing the upkeep of this thing and not to mention the Booz Allen breaks in buildings of dollars from the government every year, like they could give the national parks a break. Crazy. That's crazy. Okay, Last story. Now this one truly I saved it for last because I might get a little bit, worked up, this one truly just My I'm confused like, I need, I need you guys to weigh in. I need you guys to where you confused or exhausted. Oh, I need you guys to help me out on this one. So read this headline Caitlyn Jenner slams woke Nike for partnership with trans activists Dylan Mulvaney what Dylan Mulvaney has over 12 million followers on tiktok and Instagram. So Caitlin Jenner, slams Nike just seven years after her own collaboration as a trans woman with a sport for a line with H&M, I'm already. My head is already spinning. What has someone that In all of. What Nike co-founder Phil Knight did? It's a shame to see such an iconic American company, go so woe, what would be inclusive? But not at the expense of the mass majority of people and have some decency while being inclusive. This is an outrage mind you. It's not like Dylan Mulvaney was doing anything outrageous. She was wearing a pair of Nike leggings and she was like doing some Jesse. This is an April Fool's joke. No, I are, you sure about like in 2016 which is a year after Jenner transitioned. She worked with H&M on a very similar campaign and her perspective was entirely different herpes. Her accuracy was sportswear and sports are great ways to bring out a message and create understanding this is an issue of humanity. It doesn't have borders. It affects every race, every skin color, it doesn't make any difference to, you are to be involved with H&M on a global basis to bring on our standing is really important like I'm just mystified by this like is she not trans anymore? Like is there just here a time where she's now just identifying as a woman and forgetting the history of her life? Here's what's important, Jesse is that no matter if you are an underrepresented minority, whether you're black, you're Jewish, you're trans, you're gay, whatever you can still be an asshole, right? And just as like a little kicker like as if this isn't All enough. just, contributor which like oh that who Caitlyn Jenner like I'm Fox is allowing. this is there like it's a mystery and he just like over because she's rich and has, are they just completely and she's a And she's a republican in a trump supporter, so yeah. I'm confused like I have no words. I'm I don't got it. But anyways, I think you know the story you didn't cover, the goes along with this is the they're also crying about Bud. Light's association with Dylan. Mulvaney that one made more sense in the sense that it wasn't attached to Caitlin Jenner. Right. Fox News is upset some stupid article Kid Rock buying Bud Light just to shoot it. All the right-wing lunatics are upset about this. Bud Light. Yeah. because they, like, and taiwo. Know. So if you Dylan's advertisement for Bud was actually pretty entertaining but she was like carrying over a bunch of Bud Lights and she was dressed kind of in like an Audrey Hepburn style dress and had makeup on and was talking about March Madness. She was like I just thought everyone was going crazy at it. I didn't know it had to do a sports so I'm assuming that they're getting mad because it's like well what's the point? Like she's she's not even promoting sports but I don't know. It's no no, that's not what they're getting mad. They're getting mad because they're using a trans person to as a spokesperson. Yeah. Well get it better if it was if it was AI these generated dealer, 12 million followers they're in it for the money they're they're agreeing to have a sponsor who is going to sell their product which is right what anybody is doing which is well, anyone that buys into capitalism, should be all about poor trance or not. She has millions of followers, do it. It's also what Bob Iger said, Disney this week at the shareholder meeting which is that Disney reflects our society, right? It's kind of, that's all you really have to say, All right. All right, Damien. Which one exhausted you the most even though you were good question? I'm gonna oh that. I know the last one, Jesse, I don't know. I'm exhausted of it yet. I'm still in the. I'm still in the anger phase. I'm pretty enraged to. But alright, so what I'm exhausted about. Truly, the national parks thing. I just don't understand. I don't I don't I don't know how you you could not just give to our incredible National Park system that you could profit off. I just don't get that. But but what I'm truly exhausted by is is the the patriarchy surrounding the, the makeup world and the high heel world or whatever. You do to either discourage women or destroy their bodies or make them feel Less than or ugly whatever you do that. That is truly exhausting for me Jesse. Okay we got I just can't believe it's still foiling, I can't believe it even still exists. In fact, the richest man in the world. Now is the head of lvmh. He's now the richest person in the world over like 200 billion dollars even richer than all the Ducks and the Elon musks. And anyway, yeah. This that's the one that truly exhausts me. Okay. See that's the thing. Like even if it's not a rule, As a woman. You have to do these things or you feel like you have to do these things, right? Like you, this is changing slowly, at least right? Is it must be really right? I don't think so. I hope so. Yeah, I found that super annoying. However, Oh, the profiting of the national parks. I don't know why that just rubs me the wrong way because, you know, 140 million dollars. And this is from the United States government budget, right? Like that's peanuts, nobody's gonna see that. But, in principle, it is just Oh my God. It's so annoying and the fact that I love using this website. Also knows me. So I'm gonna go with that. Oh, I get to break a tie. Yep. Oh, well, I think we know where Jesse's leaning? You don't know. How do you know? Well do you know? I yeah. What makes sure I would have. I would have generous like a whole thing but I am gonna break the tie. I don't want to do a split. Oh, that is gonna be split. Yes, she has to break the title, he doesn't, there are no rules. It's all made up. You're the host, I guess you can make the rules for I think I gotta do the dress code this week. Yeah, that's where my vote's going. All right. Parks are exhausting but that's I feel like going to keep happening. Unfortunately, well, there you have it story of the week Starbucks Union using Billboards, brought Brass Band and a butter sculpture to pressure board members and goodly of the week. It was just Janet protested with defeats conservative Dan Kelly. For the Wisconsin Supreme Court, right and most exhausted dress codes for women and nothing for men. All right. Who won the week? What he got, Damien. I have Yukon Yukon men's basketball team. Not just because my parents met at you come. That's really, the, only reason, I mean, it's only reason why I care about you. I can't believe you chose that and we didn't. Yeah, I didn't even Connecticut residents. I wouldn't exist without Yukon. Wow, that's that is where my parents went to school and mess. We're getting existential here. All right. And I'm reason why I'm picking them is because this is the victory that literally nobody cared about because everyone was either distracted by Trump being arraigned the next day. I didn't hear anyone talk about it was at least watched and that's right. Men's basketball final Interest on too late too. If you live on the east coast something inspiring that. Three of the players were fasting for Ramadan Ramadan and they still credit one of them. I think was like, I forget his name because sports but one of them was like the MVP of the no, yes, yes. Yes, he was fasting. Yes. So pretty impressive. Well, I guess he got to eat before the game because you get to break fast at Sunset. And the other reason why there were distracted, is he? It's because a lot of the country was distracted by their latent racism because they were angry over, the women's finals. Where LSU's Angel Reese was trash-talking Iowa's. Katelyn Clark and the sports will become fixated on this for again because they're, they're either overtly or lately racist and they just couldn't handle her. Trash-talking, despite the fact that Katelyn Clark did the same shocks all the time and, and the athletes across the world are applauded and cheered for trash talking. So this was just that was I found that to be Disheartening at best. Anyway, that's my that's my winner of the week. I have a winner of the week. The women. That is all so my winner because abortion is Healthcare, don't forget, all right, and you predictions Damien? My prediction, the return of Tesla co-founder and former CTO JB Straubel is part of Elon musk's Tesla. Exit, strategy. Something is happening here? This is part of that. Good. Do we like this? I like it. I don't I don't like anything Elon. So I'm happy with this exit. This. Most of the influence, even if he's not CEO, right? If you still on the board? Yes, he will. The exit hasn't even happened, but you're already. Talking about it. Like it has, I am. All right, it's a prediction. All right, it's a prediction. Well, give me a break. My predictions all about Tesla and I think they're gonna buy amprius, you know, if you forgot, that's the, that's the company. That makes amazing battery. Okay. Yep.
