Business Pants – 2023-05-19

Live. Hey, from your ESG salad spinner. It's a business pants Friday show here at May 8th. No, 19th Lane Studios. It's lonely, featuring all of your favorites and that's Matt mascardi the Lord and metrics. We usually have re and Jesse with us, they are no longer with us. They're off doing like lovey, loving things. I was gonna say we fired them just for dramatic effect, but we didn't We kind of cool. What it kind of be fun to fire half of running a prize. On today's weekly wrap up Disney does a thing Target says, a thing Exxon. Ignores a thing and Montana is triggered by everything. Are. But Montana used to be like tough Freedom Fighters, what happened to Montana? They're just triggered another freedom fighting ghg emissions existing. They just react to everything in pop culture. Anything that sounds makes them unhappy. It's really in fact. Donald Trump Junior. Just yesterday announced. He's launching a magazine. Yeah. Um, where it's going to be a not woke men's magazine. What does that mean? It's gonna killing know. He said featured killing thing like Hunting Fishing and like, I don't know cars. But there you have those magazines like which one explained when guns and ammo got woke, did that ever get woke but they already had those magazines anyway. I mean, just for million years. Summer pointed out on Twitter. That it's funny that the people who only hunt from a car are obsessed with the, like a magazine about manly hunting, your avoid the military at all costs. Unlike the, unlike their constituents, It's the manly thing to do now. All right, here we go. Let's do story of the week ready? Yep. I got four good ones there with you're only gonna like the last one. Number one. Disney kills 1 billion dollar development in Florida, just days before, DeSantis is expected, presidential announcement. I like that one. I do like that. I mean, we saw this coming, right? I mean, it was an inevitable, but they still have another like 17 billion or something allocated to build in Florida. I just waiting for him to fail miserably so that they can get building again. I don't know what's gonna happen. I can't predict us politics anymore. We might very well. Be stuck with the big diaper, baby again, Donald Trump, but, oh good. That's what I want. As of now, as of, May 19th, 2023, Bob Iger is single-handedly responsible for destroying Ron desantis's presidential hopes. I know Congressional Handley. Yeah, you know, we used to make fun of you know, Ken doll Bob. Well, I love loving way. Yeah. But he's definitely proving why he keeps getting brought back over and over and over again. Well, it does make you wonder. Our. But there was that suggestion. I mean he probably would win. I mean he's pretty good at this. Yeah. They also did shudder their 5,000 a night Star Wars, I don't know that. What does that even mean? There was they opened a hotel that was like 5000 dollars a night and it was staying inside like a Star Wars Cruiser or something or not. It was horrible, that hate crime from every direction. Number two, story of the week. Montana. Is this like, what kind of glossed over this this week? We didn't really talk about this. The state of Montana is the first state to ban tiktok over National Security. What is happening Matt? Is the National Security concern in Montana, I who in Montana, know, offense the Montana, but who was there as capable of anything, really? I mean of, there's someone on Montana who's gonna, who's a national security risk? Someone using them Tick Tock is tiktok's an infiltrate? Their IPhone 11. And Start over, they're gonna steal the Big Sky from them, what? They're? They're 1.1 million people in Montana that many. Yeah. I mean like there are like 1.1 million people in the block I lived in in New York City Once upon a time. Like this is this is our me, it is bizarre but not gonna last, they're gonna fight this, they're already fighting this, I can't this cannot last can it but why are they not Banning? Instagram and Facebook and snap, Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter, I mean, Mark Zuckerberg not just because he's Jewish. But Mark Zuckerberg, if if George Soros Larry Fink Bill Gates, they're all Global. How is Mark Zuckerberg not a globalist? How are they not Banning Facebook and Instagram? It is what's up? First of all it is because he's Jewish she okay? I don't want to get into this because it's a presses me, but how are they not going after Facebook and Instagram and what's up, how? It's a really good question. I don't know how they don't. Look at them as effectively the same thing. He's buying Hawaii, they're not worried about Mark, Zuckerberg know. He does not seem to be a national security threat. I mean clearly this is where just triggered by we're just we're like anti-china and pro Elon musk's red pill. What we are trying doesn't bother me number three, big story the week. Another story we didn't really cover. It seems like big news. Big Tech got a big win. as the Supreme Court stayed out of the section 235, Court says that Twitter and Google are not legally liable for terrorists using their platforms. Absolutely, they're not liable for anyone using their plan. Yeah. Why even rate? So, we we've just said, we're never gonna regulate them But I do whatever they want. According to the reporting here. The Court Supreme Court technically didn't weigh in on Section 230 they just ignored it so maybe they're punting it is that what is that? What they're doing? They punting this down the road. No, it doesn't go it. Whatever decision got made, at the lower court is the one that stands in the lower court said, it's fine. Somebody else could bring a 2:30 action that the Supreme Court could pick up. I don't know. I mean, but let's be real here as Supreme Court by not doing this saying, Twitter and Google aren't liable. Are saying that Elon Musk Sergey Brin and Larry Page are not liable for terrorists and Mark Zuckerberg. They're not saying and where the company or Google the company. These are all held by white billionaires. Matt, I don't want to get too deep into this. I want to Get home by 6:00. How could a company not be liable for the information that disseminating on their platform? How is that possible? I don't know. But when we launched our platform, I'm now going to say we're not liable, never mind moving on. And the fourth big story that we just because I wanted to because I just love the headline, lab monkey prices soar in us after China. I just, I just wanted to be a person who covers things like this lab monkey prices. I like this. How many? Monkeys, get bloody years. I don't know. I'm afraid to know actually, this is actually a very disconcerting all the we do know a lot about the lab monkeys at neuralink lest we forget? Yes, that they abused the lab monkeys in early link and we're like found to have committed animal abuse. Another Elon Musk joint well, and they impregnate their fellow Executives, which doesn't seem kosher either. Oh, yeah. Those are the four big stories of the week. You are only vote. I like this system. I think we have to both vote in order to make it fair and Equitable, what's the Democracy? I think the, the real winner, much as I want to go with lab monkey prices soar. Oh only in the US. Yeah, I think the real winner here is the ban on tiktok. Tell me why. What Montana? Done and they did this at the same time they did something that's going to end up in exhausting s, which is Banning ghg emissions. As a criteria for anything, they are really planting their flag in The tiktok worse, the China Wars, the anti-woke Wars Disney Wars 2, right. And there's literally a decade worth of litigation, that's going to come out of this. Yeah. Like, if they can ban tiktok over a national security issue concerns without necessarily proving the National Security concerns because they haven't been able to prove. Sure definitively that China is like monitoring everybody or even nudging, people, although we all think it's true. If they can't, if they can ban it without proving that. What can't they ban? Well so just one company in Bandit, essentially it's the same argument that the census uses in Florida. The the things that he's Banning like don't say gay and schools is because he thinks it erodes the fabric of America. It's not really a different argument, right? But worse. I'm just saying, like, where there's opening the floodgates, the band any publicly traded company but now you're triggered. Yeah. That's what we're at. We can. And it's not, he didn't say we're Banning because if he worded it in such a way, that it was National Security concerns, we're going to ban all social media platforms that contravene them. Then you would have to ban other platforms too. Hold them to the same standard, they're banning tiktok anything related to China, would be your first move know and then and then anything related to Tech, okay? You you know where the vast majority of Tesla's get built. And yeah I don't don't ask me iPhone's China fuck's con but they're all moving to Vietnam and India. So but my point is like if we're going to do where the things originated from the originated from China, that's what we do here. Oh, I think that anyway, I think that's the story. I'll just agree with you because we don't have a tie breaker in place. And also, because I think the Disney thing is really the same story. So I think that's right, I'll just I'm gonna agree with you there. We go Montana again. This a state in our Union is Banning. One company is Banning up a company a company. Yeah it's weird I really hope they all ban free float at some point. That would really be flow LLC or free float media, the free flow media this way LLC continues to operate under the radar, okay? All right, I'll do this quickly goodly. All right. You can do exhausting usually stay in my Lane. I try to channel rear, I really didn't try to channel Ari. Here we go. Miller Lite defends its marketing Chief over a satirical, add criticizing, you know, misogyny. Yeah, and I just defended them, I just picked this because I want to say the quote again, I said, yesterday's show. That's true. This is what Molson Coors said. They said people can take issues with her ads or Our Brands, but we won't stand by as people. Personally, attack our employees especially given that. These are company decisions and are never made by one single person. What a quote. What a quote now. Just sit on that for a minute. These are company decisions and are never made by a single person. Go number two, Target CEO Dei has fueled much of our growth over the last nine years, CEO. Brian Cornell says doing what's right for employees and the company culture adds value for shareholders. Oh, Vivic. What a thought. Oh, this is. So what are you? A major CEO said that it adds value for shareholders and he's like, set it over a specific time period. Last nine years last nine years, what's the overall very specific. What's the over under on a tersely? You know, angry letter coming from strive asset management at Target oh that shit that needs to be in your predictions for this week. Number three, this very Ari to me. The headline is get ready for a Starbucks. Iced overhaul, new nugget. Ice is coming to stores like a care less about you just know this for some reason. Number four goodly store, the week, Jordan, the state of Georgia's. Carbon emissions fell. Per capita. Emissions fell roughly 8% between 2017 and 2021. Um, that one seems like just pretty good except that, I hate Georgia. Why are we? Well isn't Georgia like one of the places. That's anti woke right now. Well, I don't know, George is a bit of a mystery, these days. It vote. They voted for Biden. They have a black and a Jewish Senator. They're, they're like, on the verge of what is, a seems like just Atlanta. Okay, well, sorry, like we're gonna do about it. Sorry that cities have a lot of people living in them. Yeah. Um, Oh God, a winner for this. It's I don't care about this at all but it's hard not to want to vote for an ice overhaul with nugget ice because I like that. It said, the role of its ice nuggets would take several years 2015 Target. Yeah, I don't know what that's all. We're gonna go, net zero and have ice pellets. I mean, 50, you realize, we're talking about replacing a single machine. You know, you know even worse is we figured out ice 10,000 years ago. That's something we figured out, we didn't have to get out there. When you, when you woke up just kind of around. I think it's, you know, I don't trust the Miller Lite defending its marketing Chief except in as much as I like that. They I like the quote But but it's like in the Bud Light thing people attack Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud Light people. And in this one they they're only attacking Miller Lite. Like what about the actress in the commercial new commercial? I think that actress, they're not trance. That's why. So the woman responsible for the ad campaign that she had to take down all of her social media because she was being threatened and harassed. So that, oh, that's why that's one. That's where the company. See what Anheuser Busch did. Was they fired that person? We're Actually supported her. Oh, I get it. Yeah. But I'm still gonna go with Dei has absolutely much of our growth over the last nine years. I mean it is really hard to understand. Yeah, I almost rolled you. I almost included this in story that week, but I want to already have something good, so I definitely agree that we're gonna be using that one for a while. So that's your goodness of the week, much of our growth over the last nine years. All right, come on, let's do it. This is Up this is the fastest ride. You're spending along a lot of time this morning with Bard, Google's barred, AI chatbot. What if we converted at least? Either Jesse or Ari into a chatbot for our show. Me. Maybe that would oh, actually, you know, I have the chatbot up. Still maybe I can ask it. What? The story of the week was, at the end. Okay, let's do it. We'll figure that out. All right, absolutely. So, the week, first asshole of the week is on, because they need an attitude adjustment. Nothing's gonna get done with this attitude. The headline is Exxon, says, reaching Net Zero, Global emissions by 2015, highly unlikely. And here's the quote, they're pushing back on a glass Lewis support of a proposal. That Exxon all Exxon had to do was producer report that shows effectively, you know, how they transition by 2015 for a Net Zero world because that's what we need to achieve glass. Lewis is supporting that proposal and exons against it saying, this is the this is the Exxon board that was put in place. Bi engine number one to be environmentally friendly. Let's be fair. Yeah, partly. But their influence is so high. Clearly that this is what they said, quote, it is highly unlikely that society would accept the degradation and global standard of living required, to permanently achieve a scenario, like, Net Zero. What do they do? They like, footnote something. Do they cite something like, why do they deem it highly unlikely? Do we know why I don't have access to whether or not they footnoted it? My guess? Is they foot noted it with a picture of a guy driving. A Hummer in Montana. I mean, this is, that's, this is true audacity because this is the company that is now a known thing that knew about climate change and sat on the information for decades. Yeah, they know. Yeah. And I'm just saying, and now, they're saying, is highly unlikely that anybody would accept this. Where 20 years ago, they obstructed it such that it would be highly unlikely today. That anyone would Accept it. So real true as holy today with that one, number two and I thought about inserting this into. Good lists. Yeah. But it's not really good list. It's also not exhausting us. So I put it here just so I could say it. Here's the headline worker misinterpreted colleague's XX on a dock as kisses tribunal. Here's what here's the story. Yeah. Here's a worker at some company in the UK. It's always for some reason. Yeah always the UK. This was not a bald man though. It's still, this is 10 a woman who was getting emails from her boss and it would have like a bunch of stuff and it would say like God year XX and something, why why? Right like meaningful in the number here, she read it and thought those X's were kisses. So is this, is this, is that verbatim it really? Is your XX? I'm yeah, I'm not kidding, that's Forum. So she thought he was saying Year kisses Year kisses. And then he would sign the files like after he reviewed the file and sent it back to her. He would put like underscore ajg, which is his initials. She thought ajg stood for a jumbo genital. Is this an onion article? I'm, this is totally real. Okay, sued him saying she was harassed saying uncomfortable, saying that like, it was a hostile work. Environment and lost the lawsuit. When the judge said, I think we're reading into things. This is very clearly contextually. Not that. See, I hate to, I hate to mock this because most of these lawsuits are probably, that's all to me. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's exactly right. Yeah, because she's almost like, subverting the process. It's almost like a goof or something. Oh, I mean, does has ajg ever ever been used as a jumbo gentle? I mean, even XX. Like it's not actual kisses and it's just like a, I mean, not that your boss should be using those terms of endearment, but it's not like, well, I don't know, I don't want to wait into XX but she clearly an idiot because it's not because she should have known that. The X's like algebraically were right there standing for some thing. There's a representing a number. It was like in the middle of the sentence that would be like, in the year XX. So, and so did so In. So and so really like why you writing kisses in the middle of these documents. So really the person that falls the person is her boss because he hired an idiot. Oh, okay. See what I did there. Went with that. There was this. Next up is Charles Johnson. Who's that? Charles Johnson is the billionaire. We talked about, I'll show you today in Nantucket. Yeah. If you didn't listen to yesterday's show, Charles Johnson was the CEO for like 60 years at Franklin Investments Franklin Templeton now. Yeah. And Charles Chuckie Owns a property in Nantucket and is very unhappy about a Clam Shack that wants to open in a commercially zoned area. Of course, close to the property. No wonder like, billionaires have very big properties. I wonder how really close it is to his like, where he sleeps at night. I mean, it's on two different wharfs. So, this is a war north, or from the Southworth. So, I actually mapped this out because I was like, will you smell the clams? Is that the problem? Like what happened here? Yeah, that's a good thing in the summer. And it appears the answer is no, you will not smell the clams because they're like up the street. But did you did you check the Gulf Stream, the wins? You know, that, and, and with climate change coming, it may change. Yeah, the clam vectors maybe, he's a flat Earth or two, and he has a different trajectory of the Winds and, you know? Yeah, complicated, it does. The math did not, I did not check all the math, but Charles Johnson's attorney. Danielle Bennett D been Vectis had this to say in March when she flew up to fight the Clam Shack, who's just looking to open a computer, is there other courts in Kentucky, like where do you fly to to The Nantucket like zoning board? Okay, she flew to like a zoning board. Meeting took up a private jet. Yeah, she said, quote, we flew here from Florida, in spite of the storm to make our most opposition known to you on a personal level. Oh my God. That is what the there's like one guy named like John. Who just he just his dreams still, but a Clam Shack that was up about that poor pilot. It's like we're really doing this. This is a storm. So Charles Johnson, like you got handed your phone. When you were 24 years old by your father that you were the CEO of another 50 years. You then handed that same firm to your son to run if you have his permission. But where was he born maybe maybe he's not from New England. I think he's from doing that. So then there's that this is just throw this case this is like deep Nepal baby. Oh entitlement. So get that sounds very asshole. Anything else? Finally there's this question so the I think it was 16 GOP treasurers and investment officers signed a letter To Larry Fink. Our favorite sorosi shadowy figure only to only Larry think only to Larry Fong. Okay? Because he's the only person I guess involved with ESG investing. Yeah. They signed a letter asking for like given all. This is following the hearing that happened on ESG which was if you That's correct. If you listen to the hearing, it was a whole nothing burger and it said, we want more information about how your, like what you're doing and how you're voting your proxies. It was 50 plus questions that they asked Larry about how he votes his proxies. Now, two, things occurred to me number one. How did you never asked this before? Like, yeah, you have billions of dollars with that guy. Yeah, you had no questions about how they vote their proxies ever, not, to mention to someone who's worked in this industry and actually still does. It's hard to believe but I still kind of do but it's it's all in the website, it's all everywhere. There's tons of them. It's actually. There's a lot of guidelines. There's a for many of their funds. Like there's one of the questions tons of information about it publicly available. I could Google the answers to 40% of the questions easily, right? And in fact this question, the UMass student who Larry Fink is asking to, to answer those questions is just going to go to the website to answer the question. That's right. Yeah. but, It was a tough ass for that intern, but this question stood out to me and I have never seen a more patently as holy stupid question. Okay, quote. At what rate did your firm vote in favor of proposals submitted by the national Center for Public Policy research in 2022 and 23 through the date of this letter? What is it even pertinent to anything? I don't like what a state treasurer is supposed to represent the entire constituency. How's that even like? What we are? How is that a normal question? Anyway, I mean what is going on? Seriously. We're now asking whether you supported One. Why didn't you why not ask how many proposals from John Chavez and did you support over the last? You know, five years, right? But they're trying to establish is that I know what their anti-conservative, right? Because the national Center for Public Policy research. As we pointed out, is one of the firms that writes things like you discriminate against white people. Yeah, right. And and that's their and reasoning and it's also one of the firms that ended up the Wall Street Journal had a bed about this and it's actually one of the ended up on the top 50 most leftists very well. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, that's true. So, that's, that's what I got for you. I got Exxon were a jumbo genital, Charles Johnson, the billionaire and this question. I'll say, excellent, go. I'll just slot into the exhausting his category, the Worker Mr. Representing the boss. I don't I don't feel full asshole there, I just feel. Yeah, I just really want to talk about that story. I was initially, it was a easy pick for Charles Johnson. This fighting a Clam Shack, but then you kind of The performative nature of this anti-esg world, but maybe that's it. Maybe again, that's just exhausting me at this point. So I will go with the idiot. Who's fighting a Clam Shack on an acquaintance Island in New England. I mean what are we doing here? This guy better not have been born in New England because it's like, self-hate. I will I will also go Charles Johnson. That is a more pure asshole play today. We'll keep it real. We have a breaking news. Do you have a oh, breaking news? Yeah, I do. I have breaking news. Sure. We'll go with how about let's do it. Okay, fine. I asked barred, what's the top business story of the week, right? And they actually disagree with us, Matt. It's luckily, it's one of our four top stories and I get on this, I'm not making this up. I just asked it. What's the top business story of the week? It says the top business story of the week is that Disney has scrapped plans for a new 900. Wow! They are playing our game, at least they are. They're listening to the show. That's fine with me. It's fine bar. Yeah, out voted. We should ask them who the bigger asshole was this week? Exxon a worker. I'll do that. I will say that the other three business stories they picked are boring and really not good top stories. I'm sure it was the debt ceiling. One was A Kia and Hyundai pay. 200 million dollars to settle suit over car. Thefts, I don't know about that. No, it's not the top. Okay, story of the week. What else we have in mind? All right, I'm gonna wrap us out. I'm gonna stay in my Lane. Yeah. Exhausting into the week. I'm already hating this. Okay. Well, fortunately, one of Jesse actually sent us. Yeah, some from exacting, us from a place. I'm a jet on the way to Norway. What a weird person. Jesse is what dedication. Yeah, I'm gonna give her a raise of one dollar extra. All right. She gets back. Like she already. She also picked billionaire. Charles Johnson. Okay. So easy you thought like you and I think that's asshole. So we easily disqualification here. I'm not exhausted by that. Her point was billionaires with too much time and money on their hands was exhausting. Yeah it's hard to disagree with that. Yeah, what else? Yeah. She's not wrong another one. She chose was a Florida. Teacher says, the state is investigating her showing students. The Disney movie Strange World with features and lgbtq character. I don't know. This is exhausting or just like, just stupidly depressing because the Tampa the city of Tampa has canceled. Its Pride Parade because there's a there's all annually 20,000 people show up to this parade and there's always a drag show in it and according you know desantis's new rules you can't have a directional public. And at the same time Ted Cruz is investigating Anheuser-Busch for because, because the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light can because he thinks it's targeted. A minor is just all a bunch of absolute nonsense going on. So really, we are way off the deep end way off. I mean, wasn't it wasn't it? The left that was like, the cultural like lettuce politics or cut lettuce. Like what? I thought I thought the left lane was like identity politics. Yeah, this is so far off the other and I, I mean that but the left lane I didn't really was about equal rights. It wasn't about like being tricked by just it was just having the same rights. No. Oh let's let's be honest with our with ourselves which is I want to be the left was very triggered by lots of stuff for a long. It was to get this, you know, like right can't say, cancel culture was on the left. RM. I'm go ahead. But so this is now we're. Now we're full-on Banning books, Banning movies. Banning gays everywhere that we can possibly ban them. And then the last one she has here is anti-climate Montana. Oh, and she said this, you're talking about this early this week? Yeah, we did Montana. Republican lawyers have passed legislation barring state agencies from considering climate change when permitting large projects requirements or reviews. The same story though. Yeah. Is this the same story? They did only insert one line. Everything in their permitting process is exactly the same as it was three weeks ago, except for this one line, which is they no longer can consider ghg emissions as part of the permitting. Everything else is exactly the same. So if you are a scientist, Whose doing like the environmental review? They want you to look at the ecological impacts and the environmental impacts and like the biodiversity impacts and like the human impacts but you cannot consider. Pollution, ghg emissions. So how do you can't do your job? Right? How does one do that? Like you can't and then they say you didn't do your job if you didn't do the ecological impacts but you cannot use the thing that causes ecological impacts to do the job. That's like asking an investor. Okay, you're about to invest in a company but you're not allowed to look at the founder and see you. You're not allowed to sort of have an opinion on that or think about who they are. You are, you need to invest in a company but you are not allowed to look at any financial statements, like forget the data or just structure. All right? Well, that's what you got. You've got Florida teacher being investigated. You got billionaire, Charles Johnson again. Anti-climate Montana. He's a layup for me. Yeah, what's your? I don't know why, but the Florida lgbtq thing. That's a. I'm straight straight anger for me, I'm just anger. We already did the billionaire, suing a clam shock to me. It's definitely anti-climate Montana. I think that's just like exhausting horseshit. Really Montana, really embarrassing itself this week. Yeah. As being a bunch of idiots. You should really like the environment. Yeah. And like people go, there is the environment. Yeah. And if you're going to band Tick Tock, you might as well, just ban everything. You must ban anything that you can turn on or off including a like switch. I was stopped there. I'm going to go with Florida. Oh, how do we break this time? Let me break time. So breaking the split vote, we need to, we need to ask Google bard, whether a Florida teacher being investigated or Montana, Banning GSG emissions and permitting. Is more exhausting to it, all right. You, why don't you type that in there? And I'm gonna start with the who won the week because mine's a long one. All right, I'll type these in. And in fact, I have answers for ring Jesse, so I'll do all those. I'm gonna slow roll this so that you have time to enter into your into your borrowed, AI thing, my winner of the week, although I'm not getting any transition music. So this feels a little bit empty. Yeah, you're fine, just just roll with it, my winner of the week, idiot billionaires, who invested in a College Dropout. So yes, yesterday to a few days ago, they ordered Elizabeth Holmes, not only go to jail, but she must pay 452 million dollars in restitution and Matt the number one recipient of this money. Although it's debatable, whether it's money will ever get, paid is Rupert Murdoch, 125 million dollars. Yeah, some of the other idiots include Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, former Secretary of State Henry, Kissinger and supreme idiot Betsy. The Davos Davos Davos Davos Davos, whatever and know that but Walgreens is getting 40 million dollars. The same company that is paying out more money for helping to fuel to opioid crisis is getting money from Elizabeth Holmes. You want to know what feels worse about Walgreens because the Others are individual idiots that we don't want to see have the money, but Walgreens feels like, oh, the corporation that got duped by first of all, a Walgreens incorporation was using the devices that they did. No due diligence on, it's very clearly, to run their own tests. It could have used the machine and then they could have said and then taking that same blood to the blood lab and like are these matters these results matching. It would have taken him. 90 seconds, not only that but they were willing to not. Look at any data and just take a little bit home's word on and they probably then they probably have a discount that blood lab, right? They must have a frequent flyer discount card. Number two, who is Walgreens? It's all we do here. Well, it's a. What's his name? Its final piscina. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's one white guy, it's a majority of the board influence. According to our data boards, remember Matrix Ahri. The winner of the week says she says herself because she's on vacation away from us. Just says the winner of the week is also herself because she gets to marry Rob. I don't know. Oh wow. Wait the audience seems to like that but I think they're sharing. Ironically I mean Jesse technically we all Really we all get to marry Rob? I mean right. You just you're the one who decided to But we all could have maybe not in Florida anymore soon, but we all know. Definitely not. I do the winner. I have a winner. Yeah, it was Clam Shacks. Oh, why is never have Clam Shacks been so in the news as they are right now? Like well you don't even mean because that's all people talk about oh I want is something from a Clam Shack, you know, that's all I have a taste for it too. Now I do have an answer here from Bard on splitting, the exhausting of the week, Bard says, it is difficult to say which situation is more exhausting offer some thoughts that include Florida's exhausting, because they're investing in her for doing her job. She's being accused of indoctrination. This is a violation of her first amendment rights and its stressful for her. That's what it says a Bard says and Montana is exhausting for people who are concerned about climate change, it means the state isn't taking into account environmental impacts of projects, which could have an impact on the climate that's frustrating. Ultimately is up to the individual to decide, which is more exhausting so hard, hunted borrowed. So, we'll just call it, we'll just call it a tie. No winner this week. No. Winner this week up before we get to predictions, I do have some other breaking news and that is The Charles Johnson, not born. In New England, born in New Jersey. Oh no, that counts. I'm sorry. No, I don't, I don't agree. Cannot say the Atlantic. The Middle Atlantic states are not like you England to Jason. They have Clam Shacks. Come on and talk at Charles. We don't want you prediction my pretty sure. My predictions is my prediction, a beer company. Let's just say, Heineken mostly because I hate Heineken. Inadvertently entered the woke Wars by running a spoof, add mocking Bud, Light and Miller Lite. Featuring a black Trans woman in a wheelchair. Wow. Wow. So that's like they're trying to like poke fun at the left and the right but then everybody hates them. Everybody hates and no one drinks Heineken. Which wasn't that good to begin with. Um, I have a prediction that Montana bands, board saber metrics. I could see why. I mean because we're trying to like, say things we're good, we have data about every director and we can tell you which Montana board of directors. People are not good at their job according to numbers that no just concerning. But I'm here from inside sources here at our company that even people within our ESG industry are upset at our data. They think it's some of them don't like it because I think they're threatened Frank turns out. It turns out that like when you do anything new, yeah, even to people, you think would love it. They don't necessarily love it. In fact, they disagree with our our, our assessments, our data, our methodologies, despite the fact that they don't have any on their own, they just think it's wrong. Yeah, because they have a hunch that I feels wrong, feels wrong. So even within our industry, we're getting no support for for trying a thing. Yeah, so somebody like I say for us I guess this is not everybody. This is just a handful of people just a hand. This is actually A very, very few, we're getting a lot of a lot of places still. Any other predictions? Oh yeah. Who else? Oh, Jesse says that she and Rob are gonna have two 12 children. Oh, that's gonna put a burden on our, our mat leave, isn't it? I, there's no end to the amount of Screaming maybe they can have sex tuplets twice so that she can only take two matte leaves. I don't even watch. Yeah, just get it done as as efficiently as possibly. I'm just putting it out there. And then Ari says that our platform 1.0 that's our board Championship metrics platform will be launched before her next trip to Oregon. Oh, that's right. That's that's hurtful, but that's good. Hope that's all. We got a whole week that's the week in review. I Am Lord of BS. That's Damien Raul's, Ari and Jesse could not be here because they're busy frolicking didn't want to be here and want to be here. Actually, we have a lot of moves coming up in June so, you know, get your film now because they're gonna be a lot of gaps come back next week when we catch up over the weekend on Monday until then goodbye.
