No one knows. Who. We should be live streaming right now. But who would know about it? No one anywhere. Live from your ESG carry-on baggage. It's a business pants Friday show. Nobody's excited here at the May 26th Lane Studios featuring all your favorites. Are the data Queen. Yay BS man. Matt Mascari On today's wrap up really story of the week goodly is the week. Blah, blah, blah, asshole. You see how it goes? Come on. You do if you listen to the show, which they don't, sell cares. Let's do let you know, what can we just? Can we stop with the foreplay and let's just do this thing today. But before we get to the show, now we can't stop with the fourth place. Did you know that the top two? Most visited sites in the world are both owned by alphabet. I didn't know. Yes, Google and YouTube. Buy a lot. Here and the number numbers, nine. And number 23 are Yahoo. What number nine? Still relevant. So why do we make fun of Marisa mayor so much. Because she left like 10 years. I don't make fun of her. Yeah. All right ready? Let's do because then she buy. What is she buy instead of Netflix? But uh yeah instead of Netflix. Yeah yeah. Well that's why we make Netflix's number 21 so. Oh the password sharing came into it I'll just say this my life. I'll say this too Oreo, which I didn't really know, but I shouldn't know. There's a lot of porn on this top 25. Most visited website was not a porn website not in Utah. There's no more porn in Utah. We covered that here. Well there's no getting VPN does multiple companies on this list and so it's only one of the companies shut down in Utah. So this probably other ways. Come on, let's do this. Come on, here we go. Story of the week, that's me. Oh, I got five stories. That's way too many. Yes, you wrote a lot? I don't know what? I'm not reading most of this. Number one, I have in no particular order. There was a big major blowhard fail on Wednesday, two of our favorite loved it. Two of our favorite leaders in the anti-wolf wars. That would be Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis had a major misfire on Twitter, I guess Ron I didn't see any of this, I guess run to understand was announcing his presidential campaign that we've known about for about a year and a half. And now he's announcing it though. No one knew. And I guess the Twitter network was not strong enough to handle 420,000 users. They said, at its peak, it was 600,000. Oh, sorry. And um, and yeah, well, they're saying that he broke the internet. Smash saying, I have a, I have a list here of nine online events that were bigger than Rhonda since 2024 campaign launch. 2.5, 2.5 million viewers watch on the same day as desantis's campaign launch. Watch the 2023 PlayStation showcase. Yay. Okay, and tail. Was it and unveiling of a new PlayStation look, PlayStation's the thing, PS5 PlayStation, 2 million people. Show up. Somebody playing PlayStation the same too day. BuzzFeed 2016, a live streaming, this is a 800,000 viewers, Matt. Two people putting rubber bands on a watermelon until it's incredible content. Yeah, I'll just end there. I can't believe that seven years ago, they figured out how not to glitch 7 years ago. Like that watermelon has about the same Charisma as both Elon and Ron, DeSantis tell you number two story of the week. A bunch of things happening over at Target. We started off the week. Talking about CEO, Brian Cornell did saying that D E. I was responsible for nine years of growth essentially. Isn't that what he said? That's true. That's what he said. He said the last nine years ago. CEI was largely responsible and so we said ended off the week, Target removed a bunch of Pride displays because of a lunatic in the South and then he wrote a letter to his stakeholders yesterday I believe. It's actually, I don't know how you do feel about this. I I don't know, I kind of buy it. I kind of buy Brian Cornell. He said, though, those were the two guiding principles when it came for us to act. Do we all Do all we can to keep our team safe and do all we can to honor our commitment and connection to the lgbtqi A Plus Community. He sounds genuine. This guy it sounds authentic. So he's got, he's got the eye in the a in there. Yeah. Plus and the Plus for everything else. The ETC. He was said that we stand with you not just during pride month but each and every day of the year. So what are they doing? What is who doing? Like, what are they doing to? What is stand with you mean? You know, I think this is part Timothy to one another. I don't need to some charity because I would I think that you I think that do a lot more than donated charity. I think this is what his announcement about Dei Fuel and growth had to do with two. Is that he, you know, there are many underrepresented communities working at Target I suppose, right? Okay, look, What he is doing is threading. A very, very small needle. Now where, but if he says anything true in support the conservatives in this country will go bananas and and say he is saying that support the same time at the same time. He also is removing things from shelves and sort of protecting his workers company. Why not not company? Well, yeah no. But the fact is he You can't you can no longer operate a business in America without someone else so much so that they never go. Again. That's not on CEO. Brian Cornell here. I think. No it's not. I actually think he's doing a pretty decent job of saying we stand with this group of people and we have to protect our employees so we're in a no win situation but yeah and has your bush. They would have already fired the person who created this place. That's correct. Yeah. And they would have said nothing. All right. That's number two story that we can lock going on at Target number three, unfortunately. I had to slip this one in here because it just alarmed me. Neuralink or Elon musk's brain chip. Firm neuralink says, it has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to conduct its first test on humans. We reported a few months. In March. To Reuters, that they had they did not, they were denied that. So this is a big step, I guess a goodly. Yeah, I picked that is a good thing. So I guess this is an important step. Do we believe that they're like is actually up to anything else? A lot of failure that surrounds Elon Musk except for like he makes a sedan I suppose. But what are we doing with neuralink? Like is this is anybody asking for this thing? It's like we recognized that the metaverse is a failed experiment already, right? Like it's not really a thing that anybody wants or is asking for AI. Everyone's saying, we need to stop because it's the end of humanity. And isn't this Like implanting AI metaverse in your brain like so it's the Doom of humanity and a product. Nobody wanted in planted in your brain. What are we doing? Why are we doing this? Yeah, but a guy who can't keep his website going by talking to somebody because of 400,000 users. Dare you. All right, the reason the reason why I was rejected is because it couldn't prove that they could extract the chip without busting you up. So this is this one, two months. Yeah. Okay. I I don't want to spend too much time, it had nothing to do with the fact that he impregnated the woman who runs neuralink, right. No okay. I will say this, I went to the neuralink.com slash about page that every company has because I wanted to dig into their leadership a bit. It's that page is down. It's dead. It says it says 404 error. Oops. We can implant brain chips. But we can't find this page. So I don't know what they're hiding. Clearly they're hiding something because everyone was probably going to this page and I don't know they're firing somebody I don't know what they're doing but they fire the guy in charge of that part of the website. Yeah they're they're hiding something today for some unknown reason. Number four story of the week, Chinese State hackers In fact, critical infrastructure throughout the US and Guam. A Chinese government hacking group is acquires significant foothold inside, critical infrastructure, environments throughout the US in stealing Network, credentials, blah, blah, blah. This is a accordion to Microsoft in the US government. So I'm just saying, I don't know. Something's you know, something's a brewing, that's all I'm saying. I didn't even I didn't even hear about this Guam. You think that you'd think that the business news and the regular news would cover this a little bit more. But I don't know why they kind of they don't they're not, this is not sexy, it's not sexy as somebody opening an airline door. That's what they really. I actually I have they added Guam specifically in their meaning, like the stepping stone, man. It's a stepping stone to the mainland, but nobody thinks about Guam. Like I bet you most of the infrastructure stealing happening Guam and that's why it's not in the business news. Like somebody went investigating and it was like oh it's in Guam like but this year does she hear throughout the us? But maybe they just means the territory of Guam. And finally, in our my fifth Story the week. This is a, this is for my, I always pick something related to board sabermetrics. Matt. And I on Earth earlier this week on our show, the business pants that the directors at O'Reilly Automotive of which there are 10 of all, six of them, white men were featured in the proxy statement in the deaf 14. A list is SEC filings that won't go away. They can't take this down like neural LinkedIn with its web page. All six white men are featured in white. No, I'm sorry, in orange dress shirts. Yeah. And the three women and the black man are just wearing civilian clothes. I don't know what the hell is going on. O'Reilly Automotive like look matching orange. Yes, absolutely. All right, here's what I have to say about this. To make it board sabermetrics oriented According to our metrics board saber metrics where we measured the influence power of every single director in the entire world. 78% of the influence at O'Reilly is wearing a prison issue orange jumpsuit right now. Wow, that's that's 78% of the influence and I do have proof of something. I proved that this is not about baldness because you're probably asking me. Well, five of those white men are either balding or bald, but it's not about baldness because the black man is bald, and he's not where correct. I think this is race-based or or gender base, a little bit of both race and gender bass. I would like to compare this to some other boards. April metric stats, including something we covered on the show yesterday. Where at where was it for? 72% of the influence is owned by someone with a generational suffix. Junior, the third, the fourth compare that with. I found this out today, 74% of the influence at DeLonghi spa and Italian company is directors with an apostrophe in their last. I this is this is what we do here. Yeah, real data. Okay, this is all real, this is important stuff here. 77 finally 77% of the influence and 29% of the board at carrog, which is a French fashion company. Caring is PR people who have a hyphen in their last was The Hyphen bedazzled or something, is that? Like it is very special life and well. So look, Influencer gets Consolidated in a number of ways whether you're wearing an orange prison suit, or your got a hyphen in your life, just come to board, saber metrics, come to our new platform when it's launched and you can find all this fun stuff. Do you stories you want to just vote? Let's do fast recap. It's, it's go ahead it, it's Twitter, fail. It is Target CEO, it's neuralink being, okay, Chinese State, hackers and O'Reilly, Automotive jumpsuits. Anybody in filings? I am shocked by the quick turnaround of the neuralink FDA thing after that's denied. For like the fourth time. I think it was to being approved. Yeah, it does seem a little shocking. Yeah, I agree with you. That's your story of the week. No, I think the Twitter failure is, oh yeah, I unfortunately pop culture was I think the real, the real story of the week is what are he said? But the stories that should be of the week are both Chinese State hackers and neuralink and the story of the week that I'm choosing is O'Reilly Automotive. Definitely what I'm using because let me tell you something, that's confusing. No one. I got to bring. No one anywhere we've been analyst for what? 20 years. No one anywhere looks at the pictures of these people, and whatever. Pull this out, like, this is true. Why on Earth did someone someone put them in these orange jumpsuits? They're all wearing and to describe it to you, they're wearing identical orange shirts, with an old Riley. Out of logo in the and one side. Yeah. And it's only the white men doing that. Yeah. With the same blue background, too intent. Yeah. Like the reddish tint. It was very sunny that day Ariel. Let's be nice. I mean, it's still like, it's like the orange. They literally look like orange head to toe. They're like, are like walking oranges, and you need to tweet this out. Well, those are the following that on LinkedIn. You posted on this LinkedIn. So, go go follow Mac. Go look at this. I, I just can't get over analytically. What this means because they're what they're there, were decisions that went into this, as in. They were all getting together. They're taking their, you know, staged photos, and they're like, why don't you put on this suit? And they only did it for the, for the six white men? Yeah, I don't know how that happened. I got a call from the head of ESG research at BlackRock this morning saying that this is not just ESG 2.0. This is she three point oh like whether we're really that's correct. We're really weigh Revolution. We are just Revolution Next Level. So, all right. Now you got to break the tie. Oh, it's got to be that. That's what I sort of live for. And this, it's not gets like this. I hope that eventually will get us more on the map of ESG 2.0. Because, you know, we do, if you accumulate all the weird stuff that we on Earth, I think you'll at least giggle for eight seconds and that's worth. That's worth like 20,000 dollars right there. There's a lot of analytical value to giggling. All right, come on Google, these are good list. Here we go. Gonna give the people what they want. Yeah, not This so far, I think 20% of the votes are who's Ari? Oh. Whatever. Yeah, whatever. First up this week, Helium to supply. Microsoft with fusion power by 2028 or panels. Yeah, what does that means? It's energy have signed a, what they're what it's being reported as a draw dropping. Yeah. Binding purchase agreement for electricity from a nuclear fusion generator, okay? And I think the draw dropping part. Is that this would be the world's first commercial fusion. Generator the Holy Grail of energy. And the fact that if helium can't deliver by 2028, there's a financial penalty attached to this, they're not gonna see, they should just pay that penalty right now for backup. You don't not only not only like if they don't deliver out of business and there's no bankrupt the day before the pay that penalty. This is basically like we can get this done or we fail miserably but that's all business. Yeah, but I feel like Microsoft actually believes that you could happen. Maybe, I don't know a little bit more in depth about this, like, first of all, where details, do you know where the generator is? And, and do you know why? Yeah, in Washington? And why is this so important? Because it is. I mean that part Fusion Energi. Oh really. For my scientists have been chasing oh for Microsoft. I mean like because they want to be connected here. Yeah but this would this would be energy with the emission. Output is none. It's zero plus what maybe, what water like, it's like nothing and just say at the same cost as they're spending for energy now. It's endless energy for zero dollars. Effectively. Okay. And why only? So then why only is Microsoft partnering with them? Why is this, why is this? Because it's not gonna happen, he's able to like not, not be likely. Yeah, I mean, it sounds good. You know, we're still gonna be doing this by 2028, so we'll talk about it. Then it sounds good. I can't even believe that we're talking about. It's, I guess that's a step in the right direction, right? I mean, it's something. Yeah. If this actually happens, it would be insanely. It's actually happened. If this were to have, I love the big ifs. Hey 2028, sounds feasible, I don't 20 50. Sounds Like nonsense. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Like we're not going to still be talking about this. Yeah. If you're gonna make a false promise don't make it sooner. Yeah. Make the year like ending in like an odd number or something because no one buys zero we know that you can't achieve that a bunch of lies. All right, what else? All right. Number two, these are the three ways Minnesota is crushing it on climate action, okay. Oh, I love a list and all happened this week. Let's go. Oh, the governor of Minnesota signed into late into law, a two billion dollar climate and environmental package with money, specifically set aside for stalling, things like rooftop, solar panels on schools and public buildings to help solar customers connect to the grid faster, electric school buses because I don't know if you remember about being the school, Bus. Sometimes smells like the fumes. Give me toxicated. It's terrible. It's okay. I was not a nerd like you are. I want to be the first one out. Um, and Evie rebate programs. Now in a different Bill, a transportation bill, they are also using 1.3 billion dollars to boost public transportation, and bicycle infrastructure in the States. This is amazing. Okay, transportation and it's good. Okay, it's fine, it's good. Quarter of the admissions every year, so this is really good. I don't live in Minnesota. I don't care. Yeah, keep going. Well, there can be, you know, that's good. I like this out there and the 100% clean energy mandate that Governor Waltzing signed into legislation, it requires to States, power utilities, to use 100% clean electricity. This is by the year 24. Helene energy, is creating a nuclear fusion generator by 2028 in Minnesota. Can't get this much 240. What are we doing here? I but You know, Minnesota, they're already currently 40% of the state's electricity generation comes from renewable. It's colder too. So they're doing well. So I have a question about this. What what's happening in North Dakota that in Montana? They banned ghg emissions? You cross North Dakota and you get to Minnesota and they're basically, is there something or yeah? There's no, like a lot of drilling going on up there, what? There's like, a little mini oil world or when you cross the border, do you leave Clean Energy, brain cells behind. I'm just trying to figure out like, how the transition happens to soda is just pretty here, so they all about shots. Yeah, no, I'm serious. I mean, this is a great week both. Their governments are controlled by a democratic. Oh, that. There you go. There's the and there's your answer. The answer is go vote. Go vote. Yeah, and you'll get money for good. Thanks for the planet and all people. And then number three, because I cannot stop watching a good Trainwreck. Oh, look at our company too soon to make that joke, a good disaster. Yeah, glitches Echoes. And melting, the servers crashed to Santa's campaign launched on Twitter. I think the servers. I like this. Yeah, episode of Silicon Valley. I like it. So, Twitter's live stream event. I don't know where you guys are getting your numbers from, but CNN is reporting. That at the beginning of the event, there were 500,000 users logged in and Twitter, couldn't handle it. That the event was delayed by half an hour with people, getting to listen to the shooting going on, and technical issues for the first few minutes because apparently, no one knows how to mute turn off their audio and there were because they were panicking. That's why when the event actually launched. There were only 250,000 users. So they lost half their people to all these Tech things. I don't even know how have the people stayed on. I would have been gone. Honestly, I want to know what percentage of those users were. Just the media covering the event because it was probably like 100,000 media pictures. What's going on here? And yeah, this is what you get for laying off. So much of your Tech work force. This is, this is The result. All right. So we got three, it's a pretend to energy by 2028 or 10, but really cool but really cool pretend energy. Right. Minnesota is doing stuff. Yeah. And the Meltdown this one's obvious soda. This is an easy one. You go first, then I gotta go the glitter, the glitches over their Twitter. I'm, yeah, that is correct. It's it is glitches because it's basically, a Content Farm. I told Ari in pre-production. Yeah, you don't need to write anything else. Just write that down, right? No facts about it. People wouldn't have known about Minnesota. If I had like that. I like that. I like your Ultra all your stories week, but this one's just too obvious. I mean, you, you overpay for a company. You don't know how to even run a company like this. Because why would you and you fire 80% of your staff and keep only the sicko fans around? So it's perfect. I mean, I know after getting physically locked out of the buildings, this is the next not even paying your rent. I mean, this is what you get. Yeah, you would think, 44 billion dollars would buy, you one server fast enough to keep a couple that 100,000 people like active on? It. But no, like a call PlayStation. Be like, how do you do that? I love the same day. You live stream worship for us. All right, my turn. Oh, No, no, I'm scared. I only have three things for good. I'm gonna keep it short. The first thing. Can we put that in the good list? Sorry, is this picture? Yeah. Now if you're listening you can't see the picture. Good radio. You can't see the picture. I'm going to describe the picture to everybody. Okay, picture. Clear your eyes. I want you to be with me here. Yeah, picture a white woman and her 50s or 60s can do pointing to a graph behind her. With some, it's a beautiful column chart and on the bottom corner, it says, Long Beach, Container Terminal l b, c, t and it's showing how lbct has reduced their greenhouse gases by 80%, since 2014, or 2015, on their way to Net Zero, and this is the stock image. In an article, titled, the ESG perversion of shareholder resolutions perversion is she perversion? Which is chronicling how prior to 2021 in the quote is a quote good old days. Shareholder resolutions, 2020 2020. Yeah, back in the pandemic, good old days. Shareholder resolutions were boring. And now they were basically, this is not a quote, racial audit laced, Net Zero gasms. Like that's all that happens in shareholder resolutions. Now, their politicized, it's a whole thing. Now, I don't know if the authors ever read a shareholder. Oh wait, I do know, his name is Ben zyker, his prior experience with proxy. Voting is none, none, but he has opinions about is things to say though. Which gets me back to why I was triggered about this picture and this story. Sure. The Long Beach Container Terminal. What they did was they pick a stock photo that said Net Zero on it. That's all more. Importantly, there was a woman in the photo. Let's not forget the show. There's a woman educated woman. Yeah. So, but they picked this stock photo on purpose. I don't think they meant this, but this is the ultimate troll. This is the asshole. Move the Long Beach, Container Terminal It featured in the stock photo is owned by Orient overseas of subsidiary of China. Ocean shipping company, which is partially owned by the Chinese state. Which means, yeah, even in their trolling article, they are trolling Us by saying China gave us ESG effectively, which is like that. It's like this China virus 2.0. Yes. She's like, yeah. The woke mind, virus kind of look. Mine. Virus. Manufactured in China, by China, Ocean Shipping Company. Wait. So Larry Fink is off the hook officially know. Yeah. You can't attack him or we found it. It's a ship company in China. That originated ESG. And here are the real assholes behind it. The author of this is Ben. Xikar, he's a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, not surprising, they're anti-woke. Yeah, we talked about the mall the time on the Board of Trustees of the American Enterprise Institute, Harlan Crowley Crow again. We yeah, okay, second mention him this week. Yeah. The billionaire who funded Clarence Thomas and The woke Peter Kors, the chair of Molson, cause all right, he's a trustee of this group, the company that just supported the. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. After basically defending themselves because they supported a gay person once as they should as they should, they are out here saying yes, she is a perversion. He's on. He's a trustee of this. So, um, they're all assholes, I'm just lumping them. It's a giant asshole. Is she perversion? I like how they kind of, they're kind of making it kind of sexy, kind of Groom me. I like what they're doing there. Yeah. No. Very drag showing it's good. Yeah. It's you don't want to bring your kids to it. All right? Number two. Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of medicine. Yeah, you've talked about him a lot. Here's the article, Texas panel files articles of impeachment against State Attorney General what Kansas City. Is remarkable actually. Remarkable story. Yeah. Because they didn't file an article of impeachment. It was, I think it was 20 separate articles of impeachment. Oh, it was either 11 or 20. It was a lot of Articles impeachment. And these are just Democrats filing these articles impeachment, they're all Republican. It's a republican supermajority filing against the Republican attorney general, because he effectively accepted bribes coerced. Everybody used his office and they're filing. Articles of impeachment are there being woke by filing articles. It does seem a little odd, right? You can attack the attacking the capitol is, okay? But this is not, this is, I don't really know why. Like, isn't that just called free market? Yeah, they just hate this guy. He is very punchable though. Ken Paxton. So he does have a punchable face but he's the man who authored the Civil investigative, demand of S&P, Global on ESG and how ESG is used in credit ratings. When he authored it, he clearly forgot. There's a g and ESG governance he right up there. Yeah, and finally, I wonder if he got five to investigate S&P. Interesting. Oh, just keep that conspiracy going. Yeah. And finally, roll-up Botha. Okay. His name you should recognize he's one of elon's BFFs. He's one of the original PayPal Mafia and then funder of many posts. PayPal Elon Ventures. He his firm Sequoia. Capital is headline. VC, firms. Sequoia is pulling out all the stops to dominate AI inside her. Say, do we need one BC from dominating AI? They have. A firm is using everything from speed. Dating to star-studded Summits to woo, founders of effectively. What Sequoia? This is, what's happening. A firm run by a man who's part of the PayPal, Mafia with Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, yeah. Want to be the primary. Funders of a thing that is likely to Doom Humanity, right? Is there anything any worse idea? A little literally, this is the worst thing I could think of have they heard about the pause. The pause that only Elon won. Once that I bought you catch up. The pause was literally so he could launch a money raising campaign to start his own. Yeah. So those are three options. Wow, when you said summits, I was like, what they're going to bring Starz to the Summits of mountains. I got it. Now, I don't parties. You know what? Just your three options are effectively? Oh first Ken, Pakistan or role of trust me? Already? What do you think can Stint all the way. Yeah, I guess. Are you kidding? You know, for the sake of our context, the our environment, who we are. I gotta agree with Ari on this one. I I think it's just great that. Like imagine saying he forgot the genius Jeep know, it's a good. Yeah, I I got a, I mean, I wanted to create a tie for him at the break, but I like to keep it kind of insular and that is the perfect like cell phone. Like because everybody got, they all forget about the G. When they ran about the perversion of ESG, they do, they not only do they forget about it. But actually, when it was announced that they were considering articles of impeachment against PacSun, the he announced that he was investigating in wanted removed, the Speaker of the House, the Texas house because in a video, he slurs his speech so he accused him of being drunk on the job. Oh my God. I mean it got immediately like angsty slingie like backstabbing. It was fantastic and it's like he didn't Like he can't deny the three, like the millions of dollars in bribes that he took and like that improprieties so good. So, that's it. So we have a asshole, I wrote exhausting IST, but do you want to each take one? How should are you want me to do it? That's a difficult question to ponder, Matt. I mean, we okay, think about it. In fact, I'm exhausted by the question. I actually I added one of the end. I'll take number three. All right, I'll do the first two. Number one, exhausting us to the week. Ron, DeSantis dismisses climate change, calling it, politicization of whether oh, that's so clever. The guy asking FEMA for help. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty much. Well, actually, I I wrote some other things that he could use in future. Yeah. And instead, floods in Miami are politicization of water, the extinction of the manatees are the politicization of water-based cows. Systemic Injustice is politicization of melanin. So this is easy. It's easy to be exhausting. Yeah, I don't need to say anymore about the art number. There are term limits in Florida. Right? I'm guessing. No, I think he's abolished them as yeah. Oh no. Number two. Under Elon Musk, Twitter has approved 83% of censorship requests by authoritarian governments the prowl. What's? Great story. Is that the Free Speech absolutist, that's what he calls himself is actually a proving more censorship requests, then Jack doors. Correct. That's incredible. Absolutely incredible. It's yeah, it is, it is nice. Free Speech, stops. When you own the company and its really, you want to speak about someone else proving where officially, in the era of you can just say shit. This is why the G and ESG is so important because you can just say whatever fucking shit you thinking about that is correct? Why don't you say some shit next? Because you have the next headline, my exhausting is the week was This headline fast fashion has spawned a mountain of leftover clothes in the Chilean desert that so massive, it can now be seen clearly from space. Wow. you know, we don't talk Enough about the fast fashion Industries. So I just wanted to throw it in how terrible they are. Look, if you would just said the word that sentence and then said the word microplastics at the end, you Jesse. Well, that's why I included this honestly. so, Those are three stories for me. Go ahead. You say, go ahead. You go first, man. I'll go first. Oh, Mario go first. Obviously I don't want to map poisoning my brain. Okay, go with microplastic um 83% of censorship requests approval, like that's insane. I'm gonna go and exhausted. That's wrong. The right answer is, it's just channeling. Jesse, it is fast. Fashion Mountain from space, that's the correct really disturbing. I mean, we have really good cameras in space so they could probably see your kids pile of sadness. That is true out of the lawn. That's right. The DeSantis one really in some ways is the most exhausting. This constant denial of Calling everything, but and we don't talk enough water based cows fast fashion. I love that idea. I love manatees, I'm gonna say, This is a tough one. I'm gonna go with fast-fashion only because I hope it's gonna cause me remember to dig in. I want to dig in more to some of these companies in our database and see what we find because we don't know that's just talking about them, you can stop there because that's the correct answer. That's really how this game. All right, come on. Who won the week? Come on, let's move forward. Who won the week? Hold on. We need some weird music. Oh, I'm excited. I already has one. I'm very excited. Yeah, I do. I'll do my boring one first. I'll do my boring one first. Please to set up. Sorry, is yours. Yours looks exciting. My boring winner is Target CEO. Brian Cornell because he really was, on every conceivable side of the woke ESG data Wars. I mean, he really, he was in every nook and cranny so much that the blow heart of the century. The idiot fast. Talking Vivic, ramaswamy. Wait in On Target. Yeah, no, you are. When Vivica has to comment about you? Yeah, look, and Vivica was here on the show. Yeah, and I said that lovely.

All right, my winner, this week. It's the bees who belong to a billionaire. What are getting buzzed from California to Maine right now in a climate control truck with two drivers. So the only stops they need to make this is this Roxanne Quimby. The Burt's Bees billionaire. It's the residents Yeah, they are farmer billionaires. We have billionaires in Maine or no. No, they're getting bused from California to me and then they will go to Massachusetts for cranberry season and then they'll go out to Montana these. It's a tour of the bees. So they're gonna get like, expensive airbnb's on the beach. Is that what they're going to do? That's true for the bees. Yeah. So today I found out that five companies in the US, controlled the bees responsible for pollinating a third of our food. Wow. And while most companies have had giant bee die offs, The bees that belong to billionaire farmer, the resnicks, they have not died as much because they get taken care of. Like, there's billionaires are better at bees. Are any of these five companies? Do we cover? Any of them in our database. They all seem to be a private. Oh boo, I hate private. I know, I'm sorry. But the bees though, they're coming to Maine. Oh, great. Okay, White Glove treatment. All right, I had one wait, but who's the winner there? The bees are these one because imagine like, your climate control transportation across the country. That's like, they're not dying as much as the other bees. Okay, so good for them, it's really delightful there. My winner of the week is bogged in Kalida, who's that? He's our programmer. I know I'm he's building the entire database for board. Saber metrics this week. He's working out the Kinks on our Platform. So, we can launch the only platform covering the people that run your stupid companies. Can't wait. This platform has all the news, you see here on a constant thing, it's got rankings, it's got baseball cards of directors. It's got all the stuff and we are like a week away from launching. Once we get these kids, plug our designer too, who was our designer for it's yeah, yeah. Heard was our designer, she gave us some beautiful USA website. It's a beautiful website, everything about it, Bob is working on stop. So, I mean, honestly, good, it's beautiful too. I just wanted to plug effort considering there's only four people that work at the stupid company. Three might be three now and we lost somebody that we have like a platform coming out is bogged in made at the winner. Can't wait, I can't wait. Predictions. First, we are going to rename our company from free float, to musk musk. So people have a greater understanding of our content coverage. Oh, I don't want that to be our content coverage though. Yeah. Can we not have that beach? Well, he's a CEO of 17 companies. So we know it's hard to get away from yeah. Anyone else any other options? I I did have a prediction. I predict that Vivek does a Twitter space Oh with Elon Musk and it fails but the audio remains on in which Elon and new CEO Linda jacarina getting into an argument. Well they adios playing yeah over which color the Twitter check mark should be for presidential candidates and Linda says, it should be read, and Elon says, that's too communist. You're fired. That's what I think. You know, that's a good preview to again next week's corporate theater episode because that, in, that episode is a press conference. Announcing Linda, Yak Reno's in these CEO, so they go into the power dynamics that press conference. So I would love if that press conference also announced she was fired simultaneously. That would be a winning over yet. There's still time. That's all we got. That's the week and review Stadium. I am Matt I'm full of BS come back next week. If this live stream actually worked this time. Thank you, Riverside. Maybe we'll do it more.
