Apologies and corporate employees shooting pregnant people. Wow, that's Just so smug about her segment. Now we are all alive together here in the great city of Hartford Connecticut. It's hard for great. Yeah Harvard has it man. Yeah Harkins. Got some really cool stuff you're gonna have to show the question those things. Oh so sorry, Newington snobs. Hartford's mediocre. Don't love it there. Either look, let's at least talk about City. People have heard of heart for us at Hartford. Okay? All right, ready for this? Yeah. What do you have? We're all together. We're doing our Friday show story that we Goody's the week as holiest of the week. And what most exhausting Matt here, I feel like Matt hasn't been here for this Friday show in a while. And I always been missing. I'm 90% sure already has not. You look who's me that I have taken on the Downer role. Yeah. You were angry. The last two shows. I listened. So, I don't know. You ready for this? Yeah, story of the week. Miller Noel CEO, Andrea. Owen goes viral telling employees to stop asking how to stay motivated without bonuses. About she said to leave, pity City. It does seem like your story of the week, okay? I'm just saying right now. Like no one else cares? I'm in charge. I purposely try to pick stories. That are you getting bonuses? Did she have any ideas on how to leave pity City? I think shut up. Is it was the idea no by train boat. Just wondering. and then yesterday she apologizes, she apologized stuff saying, I feel terrible that my rallying cry seemed insensitive seemed God, you're just gonna be the butt of the joke for the rest of the year. Like I don't know the story. Now, Matt rightly predicted yesterday that this company is open for a boomerang CEO. Yeah, the ex CEO of Herman Miller is the chair of the Lord and now the, you know, he's likely. He's got to be the next. Yes, really she's struggling which is why she's lashing out on tape and man, I didn't look up. She was talking about like the 26 million focus on the 26 million. Guess the 20. What was does? Did you? I didn't even couldn't even identify it in the article. This was trying to push high back stools. Maybe they must need that. That must be a car or a goal for them to reach getting bonuses. But yeah, it didn't even identify it. Second story of the week, Elon Musk congratulated SpaceX for an exciting launch Starship after the rocket exploded. So, The mega rocket we've been hearing about for many months coming out of SpaceX. It cleared the Launchpad but exploded nearly three minutes after liftoff. Yeah, but every article did seem to suggest that they hit a bunch of Milestone except exploded the reason why I picked this one. Other than the fact that something exploded, which is kind of great. So that's always good. But I want to remind someone Jesse this guy, maybe this is why you investors should not be happy with a man that is CEO of 17 companies. Yeah, maybe he's distracted. Yeah. Maybe would not have exploded. Can't prove. Otherwise, you can't prove otherwise the weeds of that company. Well, Matt remember, they were yelling at Jack Dorsey for wanting to do business in Africa. Well, let's let's let, let's actually do a. Post-mortem, Elon Musk has exploded Twitter, exploded in aircraft. Neuralink is, is exploded because he had a baby with the, like lead, you know, person at neuralink and they're under investigation for killing lots of monkeys. The boring company and Tesla's, just a lot of exploding. That's true to be fair to the boring company. Never nothing ever really happened. Nothing can explode because they, they're actually, well, known they're well known for achieving nothing in eight years know. They dug some holes. Yeah, one hole in Las Vegas, nobody knows. No, they called their most, I think that their basket company. What they go. All right, he's getting higher than analyst after the show, their story of the week. Fox News Dominion settlement, that should be the first story of the week. These are You can order them later Matt when you vote on them. Well, I'm just did what. Fox not required to apologize for false election claims does have to pay out a 700 and roughly nine 790 million dollar settlement. So almost a billion dollars, almost a bill. That's so glass is half full. Billion dollars. No. It's it's what they mean quarter of their cash. Yeah. Oh it's gonna say that. That doesn't seem like a lot for them. Know, they have a three billion dollar share buyback program. They don't even have to cut into the money set aside for the share buyback program with the settlement for lying for two years about the election. Well they got another lawsuit coming up, they do. Yeah that's gonna maybe that's and share a little lost but this is what we're left with hopefulness. Otherwise sure buy back system is to help the Murdoch family know. Yeah. Because they not only on 81% of the influence but they own all the shares fourth story of the week. Taylor Swift. Asked FTX about its legality before. Making before bulking on 100 million dollar sponsorship deal, supposedly she was the only potential celebrity endorser of the disgrace cryptocurrency, FTX to vet the service on its compliance with federal financial regulations. The only one gosh, it's due diligence having great lawyers. That's what I was gonna say. Don't all of these people have teams of people that are supposed to know that if you're Shaquille O'Neal is the expectation that everyone comes to you, with a sponsorship opportunity, you vet whether that company is doing legal things. Yes, know the expectation, isn't that the person hired to do a spot on television vets, the company true we were holding like Shaquille O'Neal to a higher standard and celebrating Taylor Swift. More than the investors in FTX who didn't read a single thing about FTX. They just invested in founder fetish by the way. What if they're all wrong? Can't they all be wrong? You know, it's not wrong and the investors too many things. First of all, this is the guy who's selling, Papa, John's Pizza. I mean he's gonna sell anything that you ask him to sell. Right? If you give enough money, second of a hook great is it that took him three months to subpoena? The man that every time you turn the TV is right there talking about basketball. How could they not find one, seven foot two 400 pounds? I don't find this guy, I still don't believe that he fits into the Kia. He's trying to tell us all. Okay. I don't true. That is a custom car that they're trying to make us just Trevor Milton Keynes Shack spot. Those are the four stories leaving Petty's City. Rockets exploding, Fox News settlement Taylor, Swift asking about things. I mean, there's no story except the Dominion Fox News settlement according to you, man. Yes. and then when they deleted it, On Monday. There's this, not even a vote, but I thought on, oh, no. We're never gonna find out how much money they got. But we did a kind of, that's exciting. They told us she's back and she's cheery bam. And that, you know what, three quarters of a billion dollars is way more than I thought. So, I clearly don't have a vote here, and I'm clearly the only one who what you think it was the exploding rocket stays in the content world, for 100% of my week. But to me, it would have been Andy Owen, it would have been Andy Owen for us for business pants. Yeah, that's, that's why I said, that's your story. Of course. We are Media Company. What? CEOs, that a stupid thing. We love this groundbreaking that I passed over the story because when I saw Miller Knowles, like that's not a publicly traded company, no one's in a care about this and then it's actually in our database we have data on that by our data. All right. But you're probably right. That's the that's the story of the week. Fox News Dominion settlement up next. Are the data Queen with goodness of the week. Come on Arias, do it? Oh. Nice. All right. Let's start with a crowd-pleaser over here. Probably would just go to the Bronx. He is more like Dorchester. Well, I don't know if there's a bed and Jerry's in Dorchester, but I'm sure there is Ben and Jerry's is all for his workers. Plans to unionize and share. I can't read really. That's too far. Anyway, Ben and Jerry's workers are planning to you guys. And the company has said in a statement that they share the goal of advancing Justice, both inside and outside the conditioning, let's go. I thought that was awesome. But don't forget that Ben and Jerry's is actually owned by uni uni Unilever, right? Yeah, however, Ben and Jerry's as is it a subsidiary? Yes. They independently operated. Yeah. Mostly, they don't shy away from, you know, diabetes social causes. Yeah. Mostly diabetes while giving people diabetes right? Well, really, that's their only thing. They're doing is giving people a diabetes, no happiness, one scoop out, and happy. Try to walk into a bed and Jerry's mad, and leave mad you can't. This is from the woman who met her, who fell in love with her husband at a Ben and Jerry's once stupid a time. Yeah, we do have 400 feet away from those people mad, and they just left happy. I like Ben and Jerry's, but doesn't every ice cream shop, make you feel happy in that diabetic way. Yeah. Okay. We should just close the fact that but in Jerry's was a former employer of one of that's true. Oh we should is that listener is released. It's great. I know finally accompany stepping up supporting wait wait Union. Finally Microsoft said the same thing about its employees drive to unionize. They said we welcome the ability didn't cover work with the Union. Okay, last thing I tie my slightly bigger than Ben & Jerry's. I mean like a bit What else? You got Ari school districts. See if I could piss off Ari. They took on Jewel with a novel legal strategy, right? And now they're going after social media Giants, how they? Okay, tell us how are they going to hear? Lawyers representing hundreds of school districts. Got a surprising billion dollar settlement from Jewel, okay? And I say surprising because that's what legal analysts were saying about it. It was a David and Goliath situation but they used some super old legal argument. That said that the e-cigarette company was a public nuisance. Okay meaning it is a public news. Yeah it smells terrible. I mean it smells terrible problem. Cigarettes though, why is Fred harm? So some of the same lawyers that worked on this case against Jewell are taking on several school districts that are trying to sue social media companies. Including snap meta alphabet and bite dance. Which is tiktok, don't forget, I forgot. Alleging that they purposely designed the platforms to be addictive and to deliver harmful content. How is it? How is it a public nuisance? I'm gonna argue it somehow but I can understand the jewelry more. But why is it a public nuisance to have kids strung out on disrupts YouTube? Their lives in school. So why can't you banned School phones from the school? Why can't they put him in a box Tick? Tock had a slap, the teacher Challenge and you didn't need tiktok in the school just anti-china. I understand. They actually specifically named those Trends. Okay. Like so just disruptive to their day to day because you know you're not talking about the active use of the phone in the app. You're talking about the okay about the trends and the psychological effects. Remember that's funny. Everyone's depressed. This, I love this future. I went to school before smartphones before these apps and kids were still miserable and getting bullied and getting you up. And remember that it was still a hellhole that we were all afraid to go to, but maybe that's just Public School body dysmorphia was. I don't know what existed when I went to school by just morphea, is a new sense. That's true. Anyway, hopefully schools get another billion dollars. Good luck with this one. I'm all for fighting a lot though. This is gonna fail. Hey, somebody needs to go after big Tech, and our government is not doing good enough. I just think that the realm of tobacco cigarettes that we figured out how to hate on them appropriately. This, good luck with this. That's all I'm gonna say. We're just, okay, I'm with you, it's a step. I just said, good luck. I agree with you. Social media is the new You know, cigarette fight of the 80s or whatever that was wow. Okay. Thank you for smoking again. All right. And number three but not least Stay abortion bands, may affect where Americans attend college. Now this one's a winner. This is awesome. A study from the Lumina foundation and Gallop finds at 72% of enrolled college students. Say reproductive Health laws in their state at in their state at least somewhat affects their disease world. That's something you something. Yeah, this goes, this, the people, it was survey of more than 6,000 students and it's male and female students. Yep. And they both, and it's Democrats and Republicans, right? They made, right, identify it included 80% of Democrats. And 62% of Republicans that said, yeah, I can't believe there are young Republicans. There's a thing. That's a real thing. That's a lot of them how? Yeah, look around. You want to have fun when you're young. Here's what I want you to do, I want you to go on oberlin's like page and look for Oberlin Republican student group, okay, but not gonna be, 62% know that they're saying, 62%, I know over Republicans. So it's like seven people, okay? Of the sixth house but I just, I like, People, you know, people take multiple factors into account like whether you're at school has a good football team or whatever. I just like that abortion bands in States Lipstick On a Pig. I mean I like that. You feel good about this but I still feel depressed about the first part of the story. Yeah. Little Wayne's. Right like this one's good? Yeah, we do. We need little wins. I like, I like this one and aren't most of the know, you know. I don't want to get buzzed here. I don't get buzzed here by Emma, but aren't most of the good schools in blue States. Anyway, let's be real. Come on. I mean ivy league grad. I went to a school in Red State, so I mean, yeah. But you know what are crappy Iker School? I've actually had this discussion and I would probably not go to the school. I went to now because of the story because of the political scene. Now in Ohio, I probably would be afraid of so you're this story is accurate. So here's your Roundup. Got Ben and Jerry's. School districts. Take on social media, Giants. and, Kids on abortions, have opinions about abortions, Young Americans have opinions. They want their abortions. I understand Jesse. You have a you're leaning it. You know where you're going on this one. The state abortion. Oh, ice cream. That's where you met your husband? No. Okay. Come on. Give me some more credit than that. The face. She's giving you right now. She gives me really incredulous. I'm gonna oddly, I'm gonna go with the school districts taking on social media. Why? The one you I I think it's gonna fail but are you are right? You gotta you gotta try things, you gotta start somewhere, you gotta you just gotta keep the battle going, and eventually someone is gonna stumble on the right thing just like they stumbled on with Jewel public news. I don't know if it'll be this. Yeah, but eventually they're gonna come up with something that is actually going to have an effect and I liked it they're giving it an effort. Yeah. Well you lose Because I'm going with state of abortion bands. This is again, not a contest know. It is, we won never has been and and this actually gets to we say on the show all the time. Why does anyone live in Texas? You invited everyone staying in Florida. Like you were saying that today. Can I say that? Jesse get Jesse gave me compelling arguments? This morning, I started off my morning by saying, why the hell is anyone staying in Florida? Just you actually gave me some compelling arguments. Well, this is different. You did. Well, first of all, not everyone can afford to just pick up and leave. No, we were that was people have family that they don't want, they don't want to leave their families. What was the third reason like Disney World or something? But we were saying get up and leave immediately if oh, you don't like that school. Don't say gay thing through high school I would be done. Absolutely. That is like next level. Scary to me next level. Just like, I don't know if you can immediately pick up a whole family because there are some external factors. Is there but we both said we would definitely my family's already on the U-Haul website. Reserving a truck. I would say that but I'm not talking about like a family uprooting themselves, to go to another state because these laws I'm talking about Disney, which Donald Trump even said, Disney should leave Florida. Yeah. Like when conservatives, like idiots, like Donald Trump and like, Democrats and Progressive. Idiots, are saying the same exact thing. Then it's probably you've gone too far and this story sort of doubled down on that and is Arizona red. Should they move to Arizona shifted to the blue, a little bit in the last election, they voted for they did vote for Biden and they had two Democratic senators, they voted for Christmas, she's affected who won as a Democrat, and then it was just like, see, oh, no Inari, one of you also had a good point earlier that it's not like they're any adjacent states to Florida. That are any better real. You have to travel pretty far. Yeah, it's like going to Rhode Island. All right let's move on as always the week. Matt McCarty back. I'm back from a place. All right, I have four. Okay, holy cow. But they're quick extra credit store with Ari. Let's start with Andy Owen. Whoa. Slow down the story of mine. Yeah. Well it's not your story of the week. It's asshole of the week and on video, pointing at her employees on a zoom call saying, shut up everyone like that. Not story yesterday, let me ask you this. If this was Howard Schultz or Larry Fink, would you would you elevate the stories being more important? It was a bigger company. Not then the fox Dominion settlement. Oh, it's just another CEO saying absolutely. Yeah, but asshole of the week is for assholes shitt. I don't believe what it is. Okay, so that's Story number one, Sundar pichai. Would you elevated if he was screaming at his know, I wouldn't he shouting out? Earlier this week, he said that AI. It was more impactful than fire and electricity this. That's pretty asshole. He can't go to sleep. Is worried about it still not a story of the week. Keep going. Number two, Scientists talking about each individual way, climate change will ruin us. This is more exhausting us Scientists look, Climate Change. Is Gonna fuck us all up, but these these headlines I do not require to know that. Yeah, I do headline. Number one scientists, like the bat signal, no, puns on climate change. A study finds 81 of North America's 154. Bats face severe population, decline over 15 years like that climate change, adds to baseball's offensive, boom, as warmer air means about 50 more home runs per season. Is it a good thing though? Don't fans like home run, like, every idiosyncratic way that Climate Change is Gonna Change everything. So cool. What if this is that scientists particular area of study allowed to Crow about their study? This is quite that says, come on bumpy airplane, ride blame climate change because they can't do, they don't know the air flows, it's all changing, and all their pockets anymore. Yeah, why your swimming pool? Maybe worse for urban water, security or scarcity, then climate change. Okay. Okay, now we're talking about why having a pool is worse than climate change, like, okay, somalis are among the greatest victims of climate change, says un Chief. Okay? Okay, like, that's, that's fine. We know everyone's going to be terrible and it's gonna be worse in places, like Somalia is having kids making climate change worse. Sorry. This is your. And, you know, they grow up to have swimming pools. Yeah, I just don't want a like every single day. There's like one more story about like this fungus is gonna die because the climate change that, that's the lack tight is falling over because the climate change, is it because it's desensitizing people. Is that what you're worried about? I just, I each think giving you major anxiety. It's like, it's like a drip torture. Everything's going to change, right? Like, we don't know, need to know. Like every bat study, the person studying bats is going to tell us how climate change affects bats, you know, every person studying maybe you love that and this is One. That's what I was just like, take the bus or walk instead of maybe you think climate change is not real but you love bats and this is a call that I want to listen. I want to listen, listeners. I'm talking to you now call us if you love bats and that's the story. My mom is a listener. She loves bats. Yeah, would you change? She already believes in climate change. I'm sure she believes it so much. She loves it. Yeah, she Champions it. All right, so I'm tired of that. And number three scientists are assholes number three. I just this headline. It was enough for me. Okay. Republicans fight, a solar boom that's made Texas, King of clean energy. We covered this covered this. It's been an asshole the week before, but now the mainstream media is actually picking up on it because they listen to business Bloomberg. And I'm pretty sure they listened to business plan. I'm so fuckin tired. I would steal her content, too. Yeah, because it's pretty good. in fact, I have more than one discussion recently, about partnering with companies in our Field or industry and they Marvel at how much content we generate. They can't believe it. You're welcome. And lastly Dominion. What? Oh. Fox News Dominion settlement, Fox not required to apologize for false election claims company says, yeah, we kind of, they're never, they're never recorded in a settlement. Are they look? I know why Dominion settled because they don't want to come here. But all anybody wanted was to see Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartiromo is how you sorry there. Yeah, that's how you say, barter Romo. Get on air and say we lied to you. We lied to our listeners about the veracity of the elections. We distorted it because we knew you wanted to hear it but it wasn't true. Imagine the impact that would actually have rather than 788. Do you think Dominion even ask for that? Do you think they even cared? I'm sure they did. And I'm sure as the number prepped up, I'm sure there was, there was a calculus. I'm sure at some point. They said, like we'll set For 200 million and apologies, right? Or 788 million of foxes like 788 like or 900 million and nobody gets to tell anybody how much or paying you I'm sure there was all sorts of parts of the negotiations Dominion was my first thought too. You robbed us know. I like the best seven minutes of television that I would have ever experienced. I like that Matt has become a little bit like CEO, Andy. Oh, and you're not pointing more at the camera, you. Well, now we have, like, five cameras going. I'm happy for Dominion. All right, I want to get the voting going with assholes for the week, so let's round it up. Andy Owen, scientists talking about individual ways, climate change will ruin us. It's not gonna be that Republicans, making money on clean energy, and fighting it and Dominion for not for robbing us of the apology. I mean, two of these are just wrong which two? Tell us one I want. I want every single way. Yeah. What was the other one that was wrong Dominion? Oh, that's wrong. I'm gonna go with the asshole of the week. This Week just Andy. Yes, thank you. And you know what she is. She oh and All see any and all CEOs can be assholes and way to be an asshole. Dude. Wow. I wish you didn't have to be a woman but absolutely no. I am a little, I don't know why. You got your, your story won something and just one the right contest, man. I don't know what you think we're doing here. It's, it's always winning but I do appreciate that. You brought up Dominion because we totally skipped over the first part of that. We talked about story of the week. We were just like, Yay, they won. But that's like a huge part of huge part, right? Absolutely. I miss I missed the apology. It was our Andy and I would have voted for Dominion. What's, what's moving on? Jesse the money, whisper, picking up her lime green, iPad with exhausting us of the week. Come on, let's do it. Come on. Okay. I'm starting with my weekly campaign against plastic now, we're exhausted. All right, we're I'm on a couch, I'm laying down mailing. Okay. As dates replaced lead pipes, plastic Alternatives could bring new wrists, okay? So the government gave like 15 billion dollars to states to start replacing their lead pipes and they've been doing it. But they should these states, they didn't regulate what you have to use in Stead. So it's up to the states to choose and of course they're going with PVC pipe. Wait, they're not regulating what they should. You know, they just gave them money and then the passing, this problem, 40 years down the line, so that they can do this All Over Again. Well, so that's why this ADV T group Beyond plastic, and they started doing studies. And so, they were, they just released a rapport to let all of these government, state governments, know, that these choices, they're making, that are driven financially by the price of PVC and how cheap it is is not necessarily the best choice. It's basically I'm taking the problem down the road, that's sadness. So, yeah, they're report. Sadly more ones that pipes made from PVC can Leach. Hazardous chemicals into your drinking water. Making them a regrettable solution for lead pipe. And then this gentleman Bruce blumberg, who's a professor of Cell Biology. That's the best part of the story, you calm Irvine said, PVG is a Okay, that's just Bruce first things. Everything's a horse. The study quote is regrettable substitution like that's so downplaying. That just, it's bad, it's gonna cost a lot in the future. Here's here's what's at stake, these are all hormone disrupting chemicals that are going to be leached out of the PVC and their carcinogen. What the Republicans should be into the PVC then, right? They should be probe when no, they should be anti. Yeah, because your pipes are making you, so they're anti-wolf. They should be sure that the Reedy Creek. The new guy said, your pipes make is this more walking Super Mario Brothers. I think they're not sure what to believe first, right? And then go from there. I think according to Justice reporting, they should be anti PVC because you're right. They're making Trends kids that's. But what is the alternate to PVC copper copper copper I don't have copper my house. I have like one inch of copper and then it's PVC. Hot water that day. Oh my God. Are you spends too much time at Matt's house? She's literally that with your renovation. Checking the pipes being like look how much cups. It could be the length of the pipe, too. By the way, it could be the later we do. All those Rhino insulated. Okay. They're not. Some of them are not enough. So yeah, those are your Alternatives, any other questions? Yeah. What about the child labor problems with the copper mining ee? Um, yeah, this is the problem with all those things. I don't support that either like there, there's almost no solutions that don't involve some trade-off. But we could create sustainably or ethically. This is what don't you do? Then we switch to Copper you're saying, it's a stomach, which looks like we need to solve the problem all the way back, which is how we might poisoning entire cities or a bunch of kids died. Over the years, you're spending billion. Dollars might as well. Do it right? Kids dying. Yes, you see, always actually like lots of people dying. Someday a few kids died today. Our children advocacy groups out there that have fair trade copper lining Iowa, just roll back protections on child labor. So Bingo, as long as we don't do, copper mining in Iowa, I think we're fine now. Now we can. All right, we're solving all moving on. Jessie, just take the old people that are, you know, no idea people you what sacrificial? Are you just Tucker? Carlson the whole show very on Asian of you anyway. Okay, moving on, the opposite of old people were gonna go to an article about young people weight loss surgery for children. I don't want to hear this anymore. This is horrible. I don't do so. Here's here's what's interesting. It exhausted me when I read it, right? And then I read the article. And what's happening is these doctors are talking about how there's no evidence that there's benefit to watchful waiting if you have a 8910 year old that's obese. Which there are benefit to what watchful waiting to watchful waiting, like to see if the problem putting all of itself. But what they're saying is that these children children's body or a weak point, and when they get to be obese, it's very challenging. They're like it's not a will problem, which debatable but They don't. What is the problem? How did they become obese? It's controversial. That's the woman who wanted to send children to die to get copper. Change it to old people. Surgery was performed on 506 children into in 2022, at more than 40 hospitals, around the US a five-fold increase from 2012 from. So, in 500, we're not talking about 50,000 or 500, right? What it feels like a lot of young children. I mean, it's still a surgery like there's rice to it and then, you know, they talked about, they had some arguments for it, which is, you know, why are you just there waiting to see what happens? Like, their body will not adjust and regulate, no matter how much will power they have, how did they become obese in the first place? Well, we're not sure. You know, it will food is not very great. I don't, is there enough of it to make you obese, probably for some and then I went to school, there was nothing there at all the pandemic exacerbated. The problem they said one-fifth of us children were obese before the pandemic and research shows that weight gain. Among children surged during the panda. So we shouldn't have any more pandemics. That's the problem solved. Just the old people at the pandemic next time, horrible and they ended the story with a woman who is now 32 saying she got bariatric surgery at 17 and gained all the weight back. Of course of course, and feels like it's very surgeries don't actually solve anything for your body. This is just like last week. So we're just, I don't think you should be giving away some picture kids either. I think we should be, we should drink School in California or changing no food. We should be banning all of garden because they give you free breadsticks where they give you like, unlimited spaghetti or something. Stupid, they're the problem there. All right. Oh my God. I'm exhausted by this conversation. You're the nutrition run to Santa's. What's next? Michelle Obama try to take them off. Really want to know what you guys think about this headline. Walgreens employee shoots pregnant, shoplifting sauce might get away with it. Because Tennessee is so pro-life. What does that mean? So, This this person that worked 21 year old that worked at Walgreens had a gun. Had someone else work he was armed at work because he's allowed to me in Tennessee. Yeah. And because of course, even witness someone another co-worker told him it was happening so he didn't even see it happen. He went over and like started to film them and I guess allegedly, he saw the woman, put a Cosmetic in her car and then he shot her for that and then they, they walked outside and lipstick. He fought yes. First something that was probably 10 to 20 dollars followed her outside and he snuck up like when around the car and snuck up on them. So they sprayed him with me because they're too women that are 24 years old and a guy snuck up on them. So they sprayed him with me. They sprayed him with me and then he shot them. There's no way and corporate policy that they let these people fall pregnant. No Walgreens has since said that their corporate, they even instructed security guards to let them listen. Everybody still outrageously priced. Wow. But here here second part of the headline, okay? And is that, so she had multiple phones the baby survived after an emergency C-section. Oh, but Walgreens announced that or let's see after boy, sneaked up. Oh okay. Anyways I can't remember what I didn't write it down by swallowing the punchline. Yeah, no. So he might get off as long as he can prove that. He felt like he was in danger. He will, cause he was allowed to be in the parking lot. And he felt like his life was in danger. There's no rules to like use non-lethal force in Tennessee. You can totally just go and use your, but do you think he thought she was on her way to get an abortion after that? And that's why he shot at seven months. Pregnant I hate to ask this just was racing in any way like somebody blacks somebody white or didn't know that she was black and him it didn't say, okay well I hate to go there but this you know I got to go there. What do I think about this? I think Walgreens. Here's what I think about this well greens. Get out of Tennessee. Yeah, that's what I think. Like, if if literally, there are places that you can go, if you're gone on there, anyone can bring a gun into your store and shoot. Anyways. For any reason, what do you make a? Can they prevent their employees from the parking lot? That's can a private you for bringing a gun inside it on him in the story, but yeah, state law. So yes, maybe but then if then, you're you're inviting a lawsuit, right private? It's it's not location. I agree with that. Get a job at Walgreens. There are plenty of other jobs. You can it's just way easier you cruise to work and if you so choose to walk with, Walgreens can say you can't bring a gun to work. I don't know what you're saying. Are you Matt, you're right to be, he fired him but no, I know. I agree with me. I used to work at a clothing store when I was in high school and they very much told us that if even if we saw someone shoplifting and stealing we were not shoot them. We're not too unless it's a pregnant black woman. We're not too engage with them but we're not to try to get the merchandise back. We were not going to call 911. We're not he's a vigilante clearly yeah. Just Unfortunately, just let them be your 21 year old at Walgreens. Why are you? Because he was triggered, probably easier triggered by her race, or by the fact that it was a woman, and he's probably like a, maybe a Tesla driving in cell terrible. Well, there is this part that you pulled and I don't know if this is a quote But boy, it is no longer employed at Walgreens, despite his Valiant efforts at saving the company, tens of. No, that's not true. That's a mark from the oh yeah, the dirtiest because that was real good. Oh, this is from Wonka. Yeah, that's yeah, really good. That's not from Walgreens. That's the right just making sure. I mean this was definitely a biased writing of this report of this. All right, come on. Let's go on this last sticks. Weight loss surgery and kids and Walgreens Employees shooting a pregnant shoplifting. Just suspect you become the most depressing part of our Square here. You have, you have children last week. I was The Optimist know of our good stories are endlessly. Depressing children liposuction is a new loaf us. I think Speak for yourself. I got your vote. Yeah, I'm exhausted. Oh That's just crazy. It's all nuts. I'm I'm struggling with that one. I don't think it's PVC. Mostly PVC is also not all over your house. Can we not talk about? Um, but I'm struggling between weight loss surgery and children and the Walgreens one mostly because this week, There's multiple shootings of people going to the wrong door, the wrong and this is another shooting that's like it's not gonna go why are we shooting everything, right? Why is our instinct to be like there's something wrong over there, shoot it. I mean if we could shoot climate change, climate change would be dead but I think you're right, Matt, if I started a company that was actually successful not free flow. I wouldn't put locations in states that let its citizens, carry guns wherever they want. I wouldn't want to operate in that space too much. Liability is too much risk. Like, I know that like, capitalism demands that you make the most money, all the time everywhere, the only corner. So everything to everyone, but there has to be some line where you say, Maybe not there, right? Like not worth dealing with that in Sudan. Well, there's a Walgreens in Sudan where there's like constant Civil War and like genocide because at some point, you know where they said, it's not worth it. Tennessee is getting closer because she's good. So Walgreens know for this. Well, I would like, how was she not gonna Sue Wolverines? I hope she does Walgreens, I'm sure he's gonna Settle. Yeah, she'll get 20s of dollars. Maybe we need more activists to to dress up as pregnant women, steal lipstick, lure themselves into getting shot, we can sue, Walgreens and get Walgreens out of these states. I mean, we would have to get just people just covering Kevlar and have them go in and do that. Is that your vote? I I have a hard time with both of them because weight loss surgery and children just seems like, well maybe don't vote for the same thing, artists, we can create some drama here, all right. Then I'll vote for Walgreens and then just to be a piss or Jesse. Because you're going to pick plastic. Because if we're gonna go pick, if we're gonna be true to the theme, I am absolutely exhausted of your nonsense plastic story. So I will pick Plastics and let you break the time when I start loving it, what is the most exhausting of the week? Known about this for break? The tie Jessie Walgreens? Yeah, I win in my Walgreens. You shooting off your gun, man. I think you want to every category this week. I obviously want everything. Oh, we cannot do that, too. Wrong candidate. Another. I can't wait. What are you doing? I then I would always write exactly. Alright, forget out of here. Anyone, winner of the week winners. She's been deemed to the goddess of government. Instagram. I thought that was all right. The Aryan Emily chew were the goddesses of government. I mean, they're the old, okay, I'm actually joining, I'm with you. Jessica, Taylor Swift. Why did you say well partly? I'll tell you in my predictions. Okay, well, I picked Dominion because they're getting they win. Oh yeah, well, come on. If we're, if we're literal about categories, they all the money of the story. No, I had Tucker Carlson and sea proving my point. The entire staff at Fox the entire like Talent staff at Fox won the week because they do not have to go on the air and say they said anything wrong. They can continue going on the air and saying that your toothpaste makes you woke. They can do that. Met of settlement or Facebook I guess it was still Facebook back. Then they are going to use all the information that you give them to try to get like this dollars and 30 cents. Yeah. And sell it to somebody else horse. They are I can't wait. Is that really a prediction? Yeah. All right. I might just dating. Yeah, my prediction Taylor Swift starts a, the world. Certainly cares about governance Revolution. Yeah. We which is good for our company. Let the billion dollar Investments for all in VCS what already. Okay. Okay. Second prediction. Andy Owen causes an even further reduction in female CEOs, goodbye. She's a new poster child for female. She's taking the crown from the woman about to go to prison. Oh yeah, no, but this is how media works. I've got two winners one I've already said, which is the boomerang CEO for India? Absolutely boomerangs. The second one is that Jesse is going to cold call Taylor Swift. This week's data just Would like our female Gap. In order to say, like, look, every time you get a sponsorship, we can give you the gender and diversity power Gap. We can give you the names of the people who run the company, we can make your due diligence for all the sponsorship easier. And then, if I land her, as a client, and my, just the CEO now, quit, I'll be if you land Taylor Swift. As a client, I promise to give you 0.5% Equity out of your shares. I'm usually an optimist, but you are not careful. She's gonna shoot you. That's the show people. And the money was for, I am full of BS. We are free float. Go by board, saber metrics, will be back next week until Then.
