Live. I heard that Echo from your ESG ashtray it's a business pant Friday show here at board sabermetric Studios. Featuring all of your favorites are the data Queen notice how are we are always always first That's why. Her BS man. Matt Guardian today is weekly wrap-up show, Florida haters, artificial moons. The business pants curse and we almost didn't say Musk. Oh, great name of a game. That means we did say musk though. So we lost, we did. You ready, everybody ready? Yeah, do it. Right to it. Don't screw around. Stir the week. Let's meet. Keeping the short. Number one and this is the business pants curse. What we've said this many times. If we make fun of you a lot, you're probably gonna get fired within the next six to 12. So is Vivek not going to be president. He is not going to be president. Well we can't we can't make that prediction yet. He's still hanging around 1%. He up to two. We will not be able to claim that we had a president of United States of the show, please, we might be one here that influential Number one store that we cooker. Tarlson is like that's his real name is. Stage name is Tucker Carlson. He was fired by a Murdoch. Yeah, I don't know which Murdock his appearances on the show. Is going to drop know. This is not mean that actually he might join us full time. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Well welcome to ESG Tucker, I love Mac yeah. Good Lachlan was the fire. That's what I meant. You have more on this later. I see, yeah, but that made me think that maybe he was like less Auntie or just a better person in general. He's not, yeah, I did some reading on him and I was like, oh, he's just as terrible. They literally waited. He says races terrible things on air for like sevens. Yes, the brand and and then he writes a text that was that that has not been released, that apparently is so terrible that they had to fire him. What, what do you write, apparently? I think small penis, Why are we focusing on Lachlan? Why are we so sure it was locked over the edge that probably did. Put them over the edge. I don't know, Rupert's probably the right here. The reality is, is that nobody knows. That's the first story of the week. Second Story week, bed bath bankruptcy, BuyBacks and Beyond so, Bed Bath & Beyond Is no more. There's a lot of reasons why I picked this story. First of all are no more. Second of all. We reported this week that they spent a shitload on stock BuyBacks. That might have led to their demise and secondly, they are a glass Cliff alert company. Sue go became CEO to try to clean up this mess after Mark Tritton completely ruined everything. So that's the latest glass, Cliff CEO, their Bed Bath & Beyond. I just want to point out that this was one of my predictions at the beginning of the year. I know it was love hanging. What was it? That was it? Yeah. Bed Bath & Beyond was gonna go. Bye. Okay. Well then you still get a, you get a point for that still Victory. Let's, let's dial back to Celebration, right? I mean it was like, she's not getting Severance headlights at the time. Was were Bed Bath & Beyond near bankruptcy? Oh, I asked a question, will they be Best? Buy or will they be serious? And I said, they're going to be serious. It was 50/50. Wait Sears, still exists. No right but you remember Apex I see what you're saying. I like it Ari, I like it. Thank you. Number three, story of the week. I didn't know if I would pick this up and good list, but I grabbed it anyway. US, Supreme Court ruling could turbocharged climate lawsuits. So, on Monday, this the US Supreme Court, turned down appeals from five, major oil companies, including BP, Chevron Exxon, enabling municipalities to file lawsuits to hold energy companies to kind of for climate change. This means that the lawsuits must now be heard in state courts of venue often seen as more favorable to plaintiffs. So I miss being fun initially as good news. Yeah. I don't know. I'm expecting Matt for you to have something negative to say about this, but Initial news, there's nothing to say about it. They all they did was this is good. Defer it to lower courts to make decisions and maybe those lower courts, make decisions that are good and maybe not. Well, they're gonna get they're gonna split you know that. Well the states responsible for this lawsuit include California, Hawaii Rhode Island so it would seem to me that this does mean bad news for some of these oil companies at least in these supports. Yeah. And and in other state courts like Texas and Florida. We're banned from saying fossil fuels at all. So true and finally the fourth story of the week a bit of a shocker although you know, knowing who we are here, if we flow, I'm not completely surprised. But in yesterday's, free flow is 2023 board. Fantasy team draft. Tim Cook fell all the way to number 4. Yeah, I mean really, like it is a bit of a shocker. It's gonna take me a while to kind of get over that I could have had him at number three. I kind of so, Anyway, I'm still kind of really that information that again that was yesterday around one of our draft next week. Next Thursday would be round two of our big giraffes day. Two rounds, three, four, five six, you're right, absolutely not Absolutely. So there was there's a four Stories. The week Tucker Carlson fired by a Murdoch Bed Bath & Beyond gone US Supreme Court by not doing a thing. Might be doing a good thing and Tim Cook falling to number four in the draft board. You know, I'm glad the US Supreme Court is not doing a thing because I am scared of the things that they do do from good. You do. How old are you do? But yes, this is really easy for me Tucker Carlson getting fired. Yeah, I made my week. Yes, there are other story that was dominated everything that was a Monday. That was the covers. And don't forget this covers two of our companies in our database, the board super interested database that's news corporation and is it Fox? I believe the only way that the Tucker story gets better for us is if they replaced Tucker Carlson with a quiet Indian man on oh maybe in Indian. Yeah. Well he can't really be quiet. Pretty outspoken. Anyone compared to Tucker Carlson's. Quiet aren't we? Are isn't this isn't he literally lining up to be Southeast Asian male replacement Theory? Yeah, right. The Great Indian replacement. This is the, this is lining up. Perfectly is Vivica. No, he's not better. He's just Southeast Asian male. Let's see if it's actually much worse at scared for that he's less folksy, and he talks too fast so he's actually needs to go to Tucker Carlson training school, which we could also do. We could, we could provide he believes in CRT, he said that here. So that makes I mean, the better The problem with that theory, Matt is that the on our our CEO, Indian Theory replacement Theory nonsense bulshit is that the the new CEO has to be boring to deflect attention. So I don't know how vivica's gonna help with that, I think maybe. Oh, maybe he'll deflect attention because the fox audience is so racist. They won't tune into an Indian 2% for the presidential election is not exactly bringing the lightning. Maybe they'll switch spots. you know, Tucker will be like, hey, I'll run instead of I've heard a real and you go and do my show. Can you Trader spot like in the WWE when you tag in you sweep? For a story of the week. Okay, moving us that story the week Tucker Carlson falls to the business pants curse. Box. So, moving on to, oh, are the data Queen with goodies that we got coffee in hand? I don't know if this means that she was falling asleep, and she got here. Well, are usually, when you have a lot of coffee, you get angry at things. So, I don't know how this is gonna work with good lyrics, not you. Okay. Well, let me start. With. Software Engineers, claiming his five million dollar reward from my pillow, CEO tears. Remember Ari, can I tell you that? I know that I purposely don't tag his stories because I don't want to talk about him on this show, like, I could tag him all the time, but I'm just, I can't stand this guy, but go ahead. This is a good story. Well, my pillow CEO Mike Lindell offered five million dollars to anyone, who could prove that his claims that China interfered to the 2020 presidential election. Where inaccurate? Now, this happened over a year ago, right? And software engineer Robert zeidman. He actually used his data analytics skills to prove him wrong. And said, okay, pay up and Mike Lindell was like, no, no. So this week in an arbitration Court, he was actually told that he needed to give up the 5 million dollars. Wow, but zeidman the guy who debunked you know all the crazy conspiracy theories said that. First of all the data set that he gave out to all the software people and all these data people to try to debunk, his claims was just full of random numbers. The date is that their you claimed? Was the, you know, the voting. November 2020 data set. It was as if somebody had just sat on their computer and pressed random numbers in a word processor. That's what I want to clarify one thing, Aries, that, that design Robert Simon. He did not take this data on because he wanted to prove the mypc iron. No, no, no, he was a trump supporter. He was excited to get his hands on the data because he wanted to help prove the conspiracy against Trump. And then he found that it was all bunch of bulshit. It was not something like left wing person. Trying to prove agree. That's because, as soon as he okay, are you don't get mad at me. I get it. As soon as he proved him wrong, he called his wife and was like, Hey start thinking about what you want to buy with the five billion dollars which he spoke to soon because this week he said been said that he believes that Linda is going to lose so bad to the deaf. Brought against him by voting machine companies including dominion. And smartmatic that there will be zero dollars left for him. Yeah, I think. Lindell's already. Declaring bankruptcy. Yeah. But I just think it's great. Anyway, I like it. What else? All right, number two, and this is something that we always talk about And it just makes me happy that somebody's doing it. Dwayne Wade says family left Florida because they would not be accepted. Finally, he left Florida. And during an interview this week, for Showtime, Dwyane, Wade who has a 15 year old transgender daughter. Said he no longer lives in Florida because of the state's political climate. Yeah. As we all know, what is this former is this Hall of Fame basketball player? He one of the people that just said, could afford to leave or couldn't not afford. I'm good. He could. He's on the board. Okay, no, it just, he could and he did it. He said in his interview I have to make decisions for my family. My family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there, so that's one of the reasons I don't live there. Do you know where he moved to? I have no idea where he lives actually. Yeah, I don't know. No, no. Okay. Well, Governor designed to say, to Santa's has introduced a long list of legislation targeting lgbtq rights. So this Miami Heat Champion is having none of it. He's a little behind though, DeSantis because they, you know, they banned drag shows in Tennessee. What does Santa's losing the anti woke War to some other states at this point? He's not doing it right. He's Got to do more. Or he went to California. Nice. He did, nice. All right. Living in LeBron's basement and then last but it's a nice basement does probably really spacious. This headline is from The Wall Street Journal, which is owned by the Murdoch family, right? Yes. Correct right absolutely and it says, Tucker Carlson's vulgar offensive messages about colleagues helped seal his exit? Yeah. So that. Yeah. So we assume that the Murdoch's handed them that story is that we're assuming I'm making a lot of assumptions by this being on the Wall Street Journal. Yes. Yeah, man. I don't know if you're covering this later but was the the vulgar offensive messages were about Executives at the company. Yeah. I was about Executives and there were there are some about that are coming out because of his lawsuit that was brought by his producer. Abby grossberg Grossman. I can't remember her name but for toxic for toxic work, environment kind of. So how was so would we call Rupert is, is he a good CEO for protecting his c-suite? Do we like this? No, no, because these all happened years ago, these are all things that they've been happening. There's just a story out today that fox has been. And the executives of fox has been keeping a folder of the sheep. Things Tucker Carlson has said and done so he can't trash the network. They can use it against him at some point. So why now is my question? Like what else is going on? Now, there's a real liability. We just don't know yet. No. Well, what's happening? Because of the lawsuit, all these things came out. So now they read his, you know, private text messages Is talking crap about them. You know, there's a, there's a weird rumor going out there. Remember, we reported that Rupert, Murdoch, canceled his engagement because he found his new, his fiancee to be too religious. Yeah, I did. See. There's all there is also reporting that. The reason why he finally pulled the trigger on Tucker is that he got. He was growing really getting on increasingly getting uncomfortable with Tuckers Christian rhetoric. Like that's the thing that pushed him over the edge. Tucker was talking about prayer and Christ. And Rupert was like, I've had enough of this, like, he's for some reason I guess he gets uncomfortable with that kind of rhetoric. I don't know if that's true, but that's one of the, that's the lesson of the story is, when you give a billionaire dual class shares with unfettered power, it doesn't matter the what pisses him off, it's just doesn't matter that he was pissed off and that's it. It's done, it's over. So celebrate that point. And let's not forget that the man who were that Tucker Carlson replaced bill, O'Reilly was let go for sexual assault, sexual harassment and it and and you know again did nothing for the company didn't hurt the company. The ratings are actually better, you know, so find a new horrible person, we're better after he came, but in recent years, even though his ratings were still good, the revenue was down. Because there's more probably there's more competition in the case. Okay, weird. We all write weird week. Those are three stories, Tucker Carlson leaving or celebrating failure this week software engineer. So good claiming reward Dwyane, Wade, leaving for anyone. Anyone want to leave or to fails rich, man leaves. It Trumper fails to find fraud, Sue's and Tucker Carlson fails as a person and you know, we keep trying and Gabrielle Union For moving their family. You know it would be easy to say Tucker Carlson in this one but I actually think what made me feel better was knowing that. To someone left Florida. Like I don't care who it was. I just want, I can't understand who's standing. Like leave it to if you were like deep into DeSantis. Great stay great but like the corporations definitely aren't. They're looking at Disney and saying, any one of us could be this. What we if we sneeze wrong and DeSantis doesn't like it, he's gonna sue us or take over our company. Socialize us. Why are you there? Get out. Thanks to Wayne get out. Jesse. You also picked Wayne. Yeah, double Dwayne. Well yeah, it's a full sweep. Anyone leaving Florida. Oh, Dwayne Rick, Dwyane Wade, leaves, Florida. That's your good list. All on the same today you guys about the week. Honestly feels good goodness. Other weeks somebody finally leaves Florida. What happened to be say it like, but it happened to be like a black family with a trans daughter. So yes, it is a Florida hero though. It's a here. It's yeah, thank you. Well, be really is gonna snort a line of coke all the way back to Pittsburgh. All right? Moving on as holy is the week, the great my scaredy. Come on Mac. All right, not bad. I know I'm going to do that easily. Here's my number one story in no particular order glass Lewis. Up for assholes of the week. Here's the headline glass, Lewis recommends, vote against Tesla board. Nominee, JB Strobel. I'm glad you picked this one, man. JB. JB is our problem. That's who we're gonna vote against. Here's a quote glass Lewis said, three of the eight directors at Tesla are either affiliated with the company or insiders raising concern about its quote, its ability to perform its proper oversight role JB, put them over the edge. JB is the guy who their their Tesla CTO JB, Here's some stats for you. In case you didn't know, glass Lewis, Kimball musk brother of Elon Musk is on the board and has been on the board since 2004. Wow, he's been on the board. Why almost 20 years? Anyone know why? Kimball is there? I mean we know I know it's a he's a vote for Elon. But what, why, why do they let this guy keep sitting there? It doesn't matter because Elon has 72% of the influence, according to our data, you can't even consolidate more influence with them. If you put JB Strobel on the board, it does nothing, it doesn't matter, it's all elon's board. Anyway, the board weakness would actually, if you were looking at our data would be for Joe Gabby, who bats in abysmal 142 for earnings a 276 for TSR in a 187 for controversy. Elon himself is overall below average for according to our metrics. But no, the problem is JB Strobel. And here's what they said, glass Lewis recommended Tesla shareholders vote for the re-election of two of its board members, CEO musk and board chair. Robyn denholm saying there are not substantial issues for shareholder concern about those two. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. Just despite the coming loss. I can't think of one issue with bringing back the chair and the guy who basically runs seven different companies and is a like the the head of the most media in the world, they have like 200 lawsuits, they've had 200 lawsuits brought against him since 2018 on that. This might have been an interesting moment glass Lewis to make. Why don't make this novel suggestion? How about Elon stays as CEO and we just kick him off the boards. More time to focus on being a CEO, right? He doesn't have to be on the board, his brother is there. He can just text his brother be like what are you guys talking about? The board meeting? But imagine how annoyed he would be to have to, like, call his brother and be like, what did they say? What happened, what do we do with my company? So, just so glass Lewis to be clear. Matt, the problem is not that because JB struggle also should not be on the board. He's a former, but what you're saying is, why are you approving some nominees? And not JB struggles. Oh, bored is a problem. You learning Kimball on the board. This is the problem not JBS lock on. I see James murder because that Lachlan is there another one? There's the other apparently, James and Lachlan don't speak to each other. James is the less horrible Murdoch. Really know as that's the reporting. Maybe he's the one that fired Tucker know. I don't think James James doesn't have any input at the fox. No, have any Murdock ratings. We gotta do those next. All right, my number two asshole of the week and ready for this. This one might be the layup it is Anheuser-Busch. Oh Bud Light Executives on leave after promotion. With Dylan Mulvaney so crazy. They put on, leave the woman, there's a woman and a man who are involved in signing Mulvaney for you know, to represent Bud Light. Rather than apologized their apology was like where beer we bring people together or something like that. It didn't apologize for anything instead. Quietly. Several days later, they put the two Executives. Who did the Mulvaney deal on leave. That's the way they did it. So they're admitting this was a mistake where I a week ago, they were backing it right. Well, they did were they really backing it a week ago? They weren't they apologize. They weren't apologizing. Yeah, they were saying they were, they didn't know what to say, correct. Be real. I mean, but the fact is, and Damien covered this earlier, this week, the woman who was in executive in charge, was on the record saying they needed to increase diversity and that they had like this sort of Freddy image but they sold to more than that they brought her on in order to do that. Yes he went and did it and now they put her on leave for it. 89% of the influence at ABC, is Insiders on the board 89% insiders. So the decision to say Kid Rock is not our only buyer. That's not these two people, it's not some Wilkie, rogge, you know, marketing doing this. They all have to know, right? So here's my suggestion to trans and lgbtq plus people all over the world. I want you to join us by a case of Bud, Light, and then run it over in your car with your guns and now we're shooting the beer. Yes, that's what I think we should do. I don't even we don't have guns though that's over in your Nissan Leaf and you're superhero. Outback Nerf gun. So that's number two. And my final asshole of the week is old school asshole. Oh, Mark. Oh, it's been a while and only here's that line. He was the asshole the week nominee for like a year. We haven't talked about the year of you on your headline. Mark, Zuckerberg says, people spent 24% more time on Instagram, after metal launched, AI powered reels. So I did the math. The average time he said in earnings call, people spent 11.2 hours a month on average. Now they spent 12 hours slightly more than 12 hours per month, the American well, American sleep for seven hours a night, eating average of 67 minutes per day. That means they're spending now. Just under 3% of their life on Instagram. What is you out from 2 percentage of all Americans, or the average of the users? Instagram users? What is this? That's across all users which means like heavy users are probably accounting for more of that. So if you spend like an hour or two a day on Instagram, yeah, you're you're probably accounting for the yeah, that was gonna say what the average Miss is here is the extreme nonsense of the 50% of the average like all those horrible addicts. Right? But here's why it's if it's not obvious why is the asshole of the week? Yes. AI Revolution happening that everyone's like all hot and bothered about and his uniformly. Sounds terrible. This is what it looks like. It looks like one guy more addict total control. If you hate if you were Banning tiktok because of China, you should ban Meta because of Zuckerberg. One guy with total control, created a system to capture 25%, more of your attention than he had before. That is psychotic that you're using that AI in order to basically make you watch more TV, right? And that is a whole point. It's like, we don't like it when they put chemicals in cigarettes that mean we need to smoke more cigarettes, but we're okay with Mark Zuckerberg, literally going out and saying, we put chemicals in your Instagram so that you're more addicted to it. Yeah, that's what he said. The worst part of this is how excited he is about, right? Right to almost one year high like the market is ecstatic about how so that we got glass Lewis Anheuser Busch and Mark, anyone want to get going or come on who you know you hate come on. Well yeah, all of them actually. Oh, that's ridiculous. JB, that's ridiculous. And you know, the whole Bud Light thing. I was actually happy when they came out and they were like we're not gonna apologize for this but now they are quietly. Just is that are you paraphrases? That was that was yeah. It was like the messaging we go, we didn't exactly support trans rights or when they said that, they kind of just said nothing. Um, but I'm gonna have to go with Mark because that's just gross. Yeah, because even I hate everything about it. Jesse I am. Oh, I'm torn, too, but I think I gotta go with Marcus as well. You know what, just to keep just to keep it simple and have a clean sweep Friday. Oh, I'll just go for Mark, because It because you know what Matt you pointed out there just watching TV, it's even worse than TV because these are like Eight Second Clips, right? I mean we're we're really eroding. We are brain, right? Yeah, because it's okay. A TV show at least has a narrative. Has a narrative structure that there's an art to it. There's actually storytelling. This is absolute nonsense that he's addicting. People just can't watch TV shows anymore. They have to be on their phone while the TVs playing this is true. I and I I do this is gonna make me sound incredibly old but when we had to like watch TV, because we didn't have any other options, we used to hate the advertisements and how they made us like addicted to want to buy things. Like there were all sorts of like conversations about how bad advertisements were for people. Young people how like two year olds had brand recognition, like that was a big problem and now we're literally out there saying, where excited because Because we used a machine to get you to spend 25% more of your time on my fucking stupid nonsense, that's terrible. It's really, and as you pointed out even worse is that there's there's no there can be no pushback at this company. There's there's no oversight of its its leader, it's King know, but but banned tiktok. That's all right. That's all right. She was as always the week, it's a throwback asshole. I like, I know, it's old school. Just see the money Whisperer into a exhaust us with one over her horrible exhausting his stories of the week. Come on Jessie. All right, first one this thing is exhausting me spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a futuristic city. Saudi Arabia's neon. Oh yes, a 500 billion dollar futuristic city a plant, 16 Borough City. So way bigger than New York City, if you New York on the red Coast it was targeted to be completed by 2025 but it they are not on track for that classic. They want the target population to be 9 million people. And Uh the concern here which makes I mean besides the fact that they want a futuristic city which I will go into the details, on how it will be futuristic, and we have to. But what's more exhausting is that Saudi Arabia's Crown? Prince Mohammed, decision to form a closer alliance with President G has analysts concern because they believe that they're going to use sophisticated Chinese surveillance surveillance. To tightly Monitor and control. But that yeah, is that, is that unusual cities or watching their Their citizens? Is this a new thing? It is a new thing as far as City Planning. I mean, if you're already here, are you already going into it with the? I don't know, I don't know. I'm I call you keep going. I don't know if this one's gonna is gonna get. All right. Let me just explain what their plans are. So they plan to have artificial clouds that will produce more rainfall. I like the desert giant artificial Moon that like the sky for a while. I mean, the real movie so lame. Okay, he's taught classes will be taught by holographic teachers and they think that this is going to create the best education system in the world. Can't wait to like they're Flicka paper clip at the Holocaust. They're going to move around the city and flying taxis of course, okay. And then here's something that's just an idea. But they are thinking about creating a Jurassic Park, like Island for tourists, and there will be like robotic dinosaur, robot? Okay, no, not to win. This is absolutely insane. And like, really, this is where we're gonna spend 500 billion dollars in their seeking. Well, like job funding. So, I don't care. Where are you? A sustainable City? Unlike sound like okay, like Las Vegas. Yeah. Wow. All right, what's next? That's moving else. Okay. We've got a potential deep fake precedent. That's being set right now. So, Happy to cover. Our favorite company, Tesla is being sued. I don't really know how to pronounce her name but SAS. Wah Heng, whose husband died. Sorry, I'm Sorry. Miss Wayne. You're giggling over your pronunciation. That makes it worse. You should have just moving. Keep moving. It was tough. All right, so her husband died in a car crash in 2018. He was driving a Tesla, it was on autopilot and it crashed into a barrier on a California highway. So, her lawyers want to interview musk about statement. He made promoting the capabilities of self-driving technology, including a speech where he said a Model S and model X. At this point can drive autonomously with greater safety than a person right now. So, they want to be statistically valid though could be Right, but Tesla's, lawyers are arguing that they can't be sure that he actually said that because he's famous he's susceptible to deep fakes. I love this, this is the greatest argument video and that's argument ever. Yeah, this is the temperature. This is the future of Court proceedings. So, basically the president is being said that if you're famous, yeah. Then you might be able to get away with saying whatever you want or we qualify. When do when do we how many listeners do you have to have? Like get out of you? That's been on deep fake mode forever. I program that well I like so does that mean I can get out of parking tickets by being like that's a deep fake me. Who parked their eventually? The answer is yes. When you're Tech is good enough. So yeah, that's happening which I think is absolutely insane and exhausting. I mean it's hard to be but how are you already exhausted by this? If this is a new phenomenal, what do you exhausted by here? You can't be held accountable. I mean, someone lives are at risk here. Many of them, not just, this crazy crazy story because absolutely nuts. That story. Absolutely, okay, moving on. Failing to accommodate worker menopause cost the US economy more than 25 billion dollars a year. Oh gosh. Okay jumping. That's like 5% to build a new city in Saudi Arabia. So who cares, right. But it's actually not the cost itself that exhausts me about this story. Sure, as I kept reading the source, the headline was grabby, but as I kept reading the story, there was another survey that was cited. Carried out by tala Telehealth company. Genev found that 25,000 women, out of 25,000 women that they surveyed 99% of women in this stage. Don't get any menopause benefits. 99 work? Well, 99% like, they're, this is not happening, there are no benefits. And just as a reminder, these are like 45 to 60 years old. This, these are one, women are thriving in their careers. These are when they're getting leadership positions and finally leaving them alone. Exactly. And there are just absolutely no benefits for them and not to mention this group of women makes up 20% of the workforce. Imagine if there was 20% of a group of men that made up 20% of the work force, that needed something that they would get it. Probably likely. So, anyways, I think that companies need to start the fact that companies have not yet offered any sort of leave or benefits. For menopausal women or even just like period benefits. This menstruation because it maternity leave or, you know, any parental and return still, so and maternity leave in the US is so Antiquated. It's not acceptable. The way that it is, does this article point out are there menopause benefits and other countries. Know, actually one of the Or. women, if they are thinking about, Leaving their jobs and leaving Florida. There are 10 to 15% of women. In the US said they were thinking about leaving. But in the UK, 15% of women, said that they would retire early if the effects of menopause were that bad. So, no, I don't think that they're the fact that they have to leave. Makes me think that there's not really anything there for them either. All right, I have an easy vote on this one. Good. So, the week, I'm going to go with building a city in the desert as exhausting mostly because we covered on this show. The what was the name of the? Was it a Walton? He was like the Pete Best of The Waltons. Yeah, we had, we covered like 10 of these crazy billionaires that want to create their own world. It's like kit. The exhausting part isn't necessarily the city. It's that, once you achieve billions of dollars, why is your first impulse to build the perfect City to go to Mars to dig a hole? Why can't we go back to the days where you just gave it all to your foundation and you sat on a beach wasn't that like enough? Now we're literally building 500 billion dollar cities that, but this will be a glow in the dark Beach accordingly, it's fake Moon. Matt, don't forget one of our earliest predictions here, business pants was that eventually these democratically, you know, LED Sovereign states that we live in now, will eventually yield to like CEO city-states, right? Like there will be countries governed by crazy people like Elon Musk and he makes no bones about it, right? He basically tells you his plans for his own future country, but then that's the exhausting part. No, thank you. You got a billion dollars. That's what you're gonna do. Like you could literally, you could feed the world for like 40 years with the money and your vanity 500 billion. Yeah. Why would I feed the hungry? I could have a fake Moon, Over My flying text. He's big moon in Portland. I think we do need a fake Moon. Sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna go with The worker menopause. Call the Clean. Sweep is over. Okay? and I think, the best argument to be made for any type of leave or Anything that helps workers is how much? Your company loses because you don't do a thing. So yes, we're revoking. Your pregnancy. We're working everything. Yeah. You get pregnancy your computer. Everything's nobody. Sorry, just to make an interesting actually buy that. I probably would have voted for this anyway, but SEO, I'm gonna throw it back to you and vote for this. Elon Musk deep fake precedent. Wow, mostly because in my head I'm circling back to Matt's reporting and as holy is the week, I, I still can't believe that glass Lewis supports the ongoing tenure of Elon Musk. I really, honestly, like everything we've learned in the last year and all the effects it's having on Tesla and share price and I just, I'm just, yeah, I'm exhausted by everything Elon, but I again, I just want to throw it back to. You just see what's the most Break the tie. What's the most that we come on? Matt made a good argument for neon but I'm also gonna go with deep. Fakes and Elon. Wow, future. This is a woman. This is the woman who drives a Tesla. Yeah, I'm just saying. I think it's, we just try to beat her for that. Oh, I'm just closing this. I'm disclosing it. We, I think we have to Rob. I was in the passenger seat last week and all right. Once you figure out how to open the door. You can cut this part out here. So those are our four stories of the week. We got Tucker Carlson fired. We have Dwyane Wade, leaving Florida. We have Mark Zuckerberg. And what? Oh, deep freaks. A Tesla deep fake. Elon Musk, blah blah blah. Who won the week winners winners. Come on Lachlan, Murdoch won the week. Oh yeah, hands down. Because if that guy exerted, the control that they're reporting that he exerted over the biggest star at Fox, that means Rupert is as happy that, you know, Lachlan is basically at the center, they said Lachlan actually was a driving force behind settling with Dominion in the first place and now firing Tucker. It's a Lachlan. It's a lot in week baby. You know what, I think. Tucker Crossing one that weak You know Tucker won the week. You know he's gonna fail up I don't know, I don't know that. I agree with that. I don't like dude. Is he gonna Glenn Beck down hopefully I don't know, but that in predictions. I heard recently, that Bill O'Reilly Bill O'Reilly, was selling an annual subscription to a concierge service where you subscribe to him and he'll give you like reading recommendations like what articles to read. So why was it totally different? Bill O'Reilly was just dinosaur and the other one, you know, had grabbed people with okay, but still angry Christmas. Billy was pretty Tucker though. He was just as powerful and a dinosaur. I don't know what you're saying. I'm saying. Oh, he didn't recapture after the murdochs ages. It's the murder. So, the powerful ones here. It's not, it's not the people who on these stupid TV shows. It's the Murdoch's a platform is powerful. Yes. He's gonna make more money now that he's out of like to see my winner of the week. Your predictions is terrible. My my winner is all non-white hetero wasp, dudes are re Tucker got fired and everyone is freaking happy. That's all That's predictions. Just he has no winners. Just never has winners. I do have a prediction though. It's not going to go. Don't get me. Oh, my prediction. Is that Dwyane Wade, and Gabrielle Union will create a foundation and they'll help sponsor other families. To move, you think it's on to us too. But no, it's more important that they help other families move out of Florida because it's not there, they don't care anyone else predictions. Yeah, I predict that Molson Coors oh the second largest beer company in the second largest disgusting tasting beer in the US? Yeah Miller Lite Miller's light yeah all the good stuff, they launched an ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick carrying a rainbow flag, riding a black unicorn, that's reading a book on how to create ESG scores like this leaving everyone who listens to Kid Rock without a single beer to drink. They have no idea what to do and they're forced to choose between rainbow cap or Dylan Mulvaney, oh no, it makes the brains explode and just as an aside for our date up. Molson, clearly not woker Anheuser Busch a massive 16% Gender power gap on the board, they have five percent female influence the total board, five percent, 16 percent diversity, power gap 73% of the people on the board are rotation players. It's basically the definition of white male mediocrity, and they bought an epic 360 seven overall. So that's my prediction both. Colin Kaepernick. Yeah. Um, my prediction after Wells. Fargo, shareholders passed a proposal this Tuesday. They passed it Tuesday. Asking for report on prevention of workplace, harassment and discrimination. Vivek ramaswamy strive Asset Management pens an angry letter. Wondering, when will woke America realize that workers have nothing to do with business? Well, siding, a Reddit post that claims that sexually aggressive male. Executives are 78% more? That's real data. Yeah, anything except right? 8% is not kind of how they put know over there. It's dry they just take like PowerPoint presentation that they created and they take Reddit clean and Jesse's money was for. I am fully. Yes, we'll be back next week until then. Goodbye.
