You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. So I first came to Edward Jones with a great deal of trepidation. When I first met with my advisor and I really was feeling vulnerable about what I would have to share, I was, of course, pleasantly surprised to find that there was absolutely no judgment and a lot of support. And when it was time to get serious, he really took my hand and helped me to do that. Edward Jones, we do money differently.

Chorifying climate fact of the day, the floods this month in Greece and Libya have killed an estimated 11,317 people. Parts of Greece saw as much rainfall in one day as they typically see in a year and a half. And according to a preliminary new study, carbon pollution and global heating made the levels of rainfall up to 10 times more likely in Greece, and 50 times more likely in Libya compared to a world in which humans had not changed the climate.

Adam McKay, the director, made a very popular movie, don't look up hugely popular and the message seems to have been entirely lost. No one learned anything. We continue to burn fossil fuels and what is supposed to be a comedy. He could not keep up with the things happening. So he got seriously took pieces out of his movie because they happened in real life when he was trying to joke about them because of how quickly the world is deteriorating and furthermore, he has gone full-blown crazy now crazy because he talks to

scientists activists and I'm worried about him his mental health so metal argumentally hired him to be an intern. Sometimes you just don't want to know you're better off not knowing. He knows way too much and more. More replays. Yes he knows way too much and Adam is here willing to be our intern and horrifying climate fact of the day guy. I'm not overstating anything, right? You're going fundamentally, certifiably insane, not just because you're an intern now for Metal Arc Media, but because the world is falling apart. Yeah, well, you know, one of the ideas was I would be an intern and I would look up sports

Saturday the day and I've heard Mike sure do it and it sounds fun. So I was looking to kind of distract myself and then you told me that the of the day is more climate stuff. So I was just wondering like, instead of the climate stuff, like I looked up some really fun sports stat of the days. And those are a lot more enjoyable. Can I do those? Like I have one like catcher with the most amount of put out at home plate in the history of baseball like can I do that instead? It's Jim Sunberg.

Yeah, like can I or only team to ever let two players go that will finish in the top five in it and the B voting and the team still is going to finish in first place the Dodgers with Seager and Belinger. Look, I really did not enjoy looking up the climate started the day. Okay, so your first act of metal arc is not to do the job you've been asked to do, but try and take my shirt job. I don't know, I mean, it doesn't have to be baseball. We could, I could read Genners book of world records

like who ate the most? Into your job. Like this, we're not asking you I could read Genners book or world records like who ate the most, you know, uh, into your job. Like this, we're not asking you for this stuff. It's all climate thing or you know what, if you want, how about this counter proposal back in my day isn't being done right now. So if you're long, what happened to that today? What happened to that today? Like in my day because my climate stat is not cool. And so I'll do it back in my day. Perfect.

So when I was younger, we didn't have cell phones. We called each other on phones. And if we were cool with it, and it was nice, there. How about that? I don't believe you. Land lines. I was so hoping that he would come on and just be back in my day. There was an apocalyptic flooding everywhere.

And we weren't dying. What have you found, Mika? You want? All right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no many put us at home play? Uh, so Sumburg was at 43, Bob Boone at 38. Wow. Johnny Bench, 37, which surprised me. You would think Bench would have had more. I mean, he's one of the greatest catchers.

By the way, none of those stats are real. Wait a minute. What? Wait a minute. Who's Jim Sumber stats are real. Wait a minute. What? Wait a minute. Who's the super wait a minute? Well that was global warming real or is it not? Yeah. Okay. This is what's happening now. No no one can believe anything you say about anything and you're gonna give people room to climb into a race a real plane. You're not credible. You're not credible. So it wasn't some bird. Is there a nickname for sunburned stew guts? Sunny. Sunny?

Yeah. Which takes those two the climate out of the day. How does it do that? How does it do that? Oh, sunny because it was sunny. Good transition. In turn.

Listen, right there. Mike, you're responsible for a generation of funny. Okay, the funny film died at your feet. No comedies can no longer be successfully made because the world is turning upside down. In the last movie you made during a pandemic was the most popular Netflix history and no one has gotten the message. No one. You made art.

You made art in order to get people's attention. They watched and they ignored the message. All right. Climate's out of the day. What a how Betty equivalent to Hiroshima bombs that made in each day. How much heat are we created on the planet? Every single day from all the energy we're trapping from the fossil fuels we're burning and

green housing on earth. So, okay, you're gonna have to get better at this. I'm gonna say to. Okay, okay, let me explain something to you. That was terrible. I hate to do this too. You have to learn as an intern. You've worked with some of the great talents in entertainment.

Look, can I, let me step back for a second just to explain something to the audience. I've admired this man for a long time. He created Funnier Die with Will Ferrell. It's an inspiration in a million different ways. Will Ferrell was on with Dan Patrick in Ireland. Dan Patrick got the funny. I got the Ordie. I got this guy. This broken man who doesn't know how to do entertainment

and just give us a climate fact of the day that's efficient. He instead asked it as a question about hydrogen bombs that just confused Billy. I don't think you got the ore either, by the way. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Who got the ore? You just got to be clapped to you, San Diego. There.

You're back. What is the climate fact of the day going to be? And what are you trying to say about how you trying to get to it? It was a trivia question, yeah. You have to get us. I guess too. I guess 15. How much heat every single day are we trapping and creating on the planet expressed in terms of Hiroshima bombs? Two. 15. 14. Not every single second. Every second. What's?

Yeah, that number. That can't be. You made it up. That can't be true. Johnsonberg. That is not Jim sunberg. That is made up. No, man. It's not true. That cannot be true. Jim sunberg is mine now. Every second. You're saying there's 86,400 seconds in a day. Times 14 that seems like a lot. It's true. It's not true.

McGay. We be dead. McGay. McGay. This can't be true. It's not true, Mckay. We'd be dead. That okay. Okay, Mckay, this can't be true. Your climate fact of the day has to be a fact. You sound like, this is a disaster. Someone, Google it right now. I am trying to, I'm trying to Google it. I have no idea what to type in. I have no clue.

Mckay, you're just, Jim Sumber. You're a disaster at Sony. As an intern. It's true! That is true! Roy, let me explain something to you. Mika has been asking me for two years.

Hey, your shipping container doesn't seem like anyone cares that the world is ending. Doesn't seem like anyone in there cares. I do. So is my daughter. And he says, are they climates and Ires? I can convince them. I'll talk them into it.

I'll give them nothing but facts. And look at what he just did. Look at what he just did. That is 100. That is 100. It went up. We were at 12. It went up.

I wrote some up. Bumps, per second, a year ago. Now it's 14. It was about five per second a year ago. Now it's 14. I find something seven Hiroshima nuclear explosions every second are absorbed into the ocean. But that's from a year ago, and I haven't been able to find 14. I have no idea what it is.

I just read the headline. I'm not really into it. The ocean is high. Okay, I want to explain something to you. Honest, honest. More revealing more than I should. Celebrities are having all sorts of issues in Hollywood right now.

We didn't even get to Lucy's top 10 celebrities. It's close to the door. Close the door. Sorry to interrupt you. In turn. I'm okay. That's Jake Tapper. We'll get to Jake Tapper tomorrow.

Just keep him there. Tapper, hold on a second. We'll be right there in a second, Tapper. We'll talk to you tomorrow,er tomorrow. Just keep him there. Taffer, hold on a second. We'll be right there in a second, Taffer. We'll talk to you tomorrow, but we'll be right there. The thing that I wanted to tell the audience, I'm not making this up, okay. McKay, Valerie, my wife, has said to me a number of times for the last couple of years,

you're going to business with that man? Please dear God, get him out of our lives. Stop talking to him. He's texting you. He is texting you and your mental health is being affected because science and graphs suggest that the world about to explode. And he's known it for several years. It's why I don't look at him, did I?

I know. That's the reason to stay away from graphs. And he's had to cancel meetings because he is dealing right now. He's creating yellow dot, he's created it in order to get attention to this because people need to start paying attention because it will only be civil unrest, civil disobedience that will get our leaders

to stop acting like dumbasses who keep burning up fossil fuel. When we're long past the point of holy shit, Greece and Libya are underwater, it's all here now. So McKay, you're gonna intern and you're long past the point of holy shit, Greece and Libya are under water, it's all here now. So McKay, you're gonna intern and you're gonna do this, but tell people how to help you at Yellow Dot as we try and get your internship off the ground here. Are you, are you, I just wanna double check.

There's no chance I can do a sports start of the day. Like how many free throws did Maurice Cheeks make in his career? I mean, that it could be a lot more. Okay, tell people about yellow dot your first day. All right, disaster. Yellow dot. That's a fine. I just said we're yellow dot yellow dot Carmella We have yellow dot which is a non-for-profit

media org educating people about climate and also pressuring leaders. Also, you can give to climate emergency fund, which directly funds activists, which is the most effective way to put pressures on leader leaders and

industry. So yeah, give it if you can. I'm not making this up just so that you know. I worry about him because he knows more than most. He's talking to the scientists, he's talking to the activists, and he's worried on behalf of humanity. And so if you want to do a nice thing, Adam McKay is going to help us here for a little while, and Yellow Dot is a worthy cause. Thank you, sir.

Thank you. Be well. Thank you! Be well!
