Someone pointed out that it doesn't say C more. It just says like expand or something, but either way, you get the point. I think it does say it. Shout out to my friend Shane.

Starting point is 00:04:45 No, no, I need to sell out. There's no shout outs. Shane? This is a lovely man who shaped the surfboard for me years ago. I went to high school with him and I didn't know, but he listens to the show. So this will be a nice surprise for him.

Starting point is 00:04:59 Hey Shane, I want you to know, I'm doing my best to cut that out of this. It's not gonna happen buddy. He lives up in Ventura. Alex, if you're editing this, I got it. I got a Venmo coming your way to cut out the shout out. Speaking of Venmo, I had to change my damn Venmo name because too many of these dorks were out there like requesting 50 cents and then sending me 60 cents and then wanting to be friends

Starting point is 00:05:26 like whatever you would do. That's because you said you're Venmo name for the whole thing. And so I changed it, I changed it and that. No, but it's telling what it is. No, don't tell them. Don't tell them. I tried to change it to Benmo, but someone already has it. Some A-hole already has Benmo in there.

Starting point is 00:05:41 Some other morons. Some other idiot thought. Gamed Ben. Yeah. Changed it to Ben mo also okay we saw the goldfish trading video yes everybody sent that thank you for sending it to me very very funny good for that guy we would love to get him on the show or be on his show maybe he can build us a robot third partner or something that would be great I love someone else to talk to. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:05 Some guy who doesn't do shoutouts, some guy who... Shoutouts are essential to the health of the podcast. The podcasts love it when you shout out people. It's healthy for them. You feed a podcast, a good healthy, nutritious meal, and you give it regular shoutouts, and it'll be happy and healthy and live forever. No, no, no. That's what we want. We want this thing to live forever.

Starting point is 00:06:27 What else was oh, you know, I had an idea, you know, my neighbor who keeps fucking loudly. Oh, she was at it. She was at it last night and again this morning and I finally realized what I should do. Fuck better. Me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to play the party bus song, the Vanga boys. So whenever she's going at it, I'm just going to... I'm the guy who produced that song. No shit. So rich.

Starting point is 00:06:55 Did you thank him? No. I just said, how are you, sir? We like to party. We really do like to party. I love the truck horn in the beginning. It's so bad. It's just, it's like damn, that is a party bus coming my way.

Starting point is 00:07:12 Yeah. But yeah, I really want to play it. Pink, pink, pink, pink. I'm just gonna face my laptop out my windows and just. There was a viral tweet that said every time I can hear my neighbor's fucking, I turn my music on real loud and they stop or something like that or she does something huh it does something to notify them that like just so you know we can all hear you yeah yeah I thought about recording it recording the

Starting point is 00:07:37 sound of her fucking and then like yeah but then I get into some weird pitching well like pitching it down so it goes like to hear my recordings of my neighbor. No, no, no, no, no, no I would pitch it down so it's like Oh And then play that really love you should record yourself having sex Mm-hmm. There'd be nothing to hear dead sign. Yeah, it's very quiet Not only because there's no noise, but because you've never had sex just stop come on with the Only because there's no noise, but because he's even never had sex. Just stop, come on with the disease of security.

Starting point is 00:08:06 Also, one more thing with the merch. I know I'm signing my own death warrant here, and I'm just gonna get more shit. What? Those pictures came out, and we're standing next to each other in the merch. Uh-huh. And I just wanna set one thing straight.

Starting point is 00:08:18 Oh, cause I tower over you. Ben is tall, I am not short. A lot of people were like, a mule, short king, I'm six feet tall. Ben is six threes, gigantic. So, I'm not short. Okay, well at least you're not insecure about it. Ben, I know they're gonna do the opposite of what I want. What?

Starting point is 00:08:42 Keep calling you short king now. But I don't care, as long as I've set the record straight Oh, be sure to like this video subscribe to our channel and also comment short king Ben for me don't do that He doesn't read the comments anyway, but I will read this time and for anyone who comments short king there not my friend You are double my friends So tall it's ridiculous. Oh, yeah. Oh man, what is it?

Starting point is 00:09:08 The next shoot we gotta do, I'm getting an Apple box or something, this is ridiculous. For those who aren't in the know in Apple box, there's a box that you stand on. Tom Cruise, he's in them all the time, doesn't he? Yeah, Michael J. Fox, I remember when he quit Spin City, he did his whole speech about how he loves being an actor,

Starting point is 00:09:27 everybody's got to quit, because it's Parkinson's and everything. And then at the end of the joke is he steps off Apple Box. That's really funny. One time I met him at a devil's game, New Jersey Devil's Game. And I was obsessed with Michael J. Fox, loved him, loved Spin City, loved back to the future. And he spitting you. No. I was a kid and there was like a downstairs area where you could eat.

Starting point is 00:09:52 It's called the winter circle. So what were you doing there? Losing. Taking L's. And so I... Everybody's walking by. Look at this free kid. But we knew the bartender and he walked over and he was like, hey, that's Michael J. Fox over there. And I was like, oh my God. And so I walked over and I asked him to sign something and it kind of took him a while. And then he was like, sorry, that's the best I could do.

Starting point is 00:10:18 And I was like, oh my God, I'm such an asshole. Because of the Parkinson's? Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. I mean, I was literally like 10. Yeah. Still, Parkinson's? Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. I mean, I was literally like 10. Yeah. Still, that's pretty cool. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:30 He was a nice guy. Yeah. Michael J. Fox is a nice guy. Yeah. So what any of you calling me short-king ever do? You ever meet Michael J. Foxy little creeps? They don't even know who Michael J. Fox is. They're going to Google him and be like, who's this really hot old Canadian guy? They don't even know who Michael Day Fox is. They're gonna Google them and be like, who's this really hot old Canadian guy?

Starting point is 00:10:45 They don't. I posted a picture to my Instagram last night and It was just Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemens kissing. You saw that and just so many who is this? These poor kids, you know, we can't help you if you don't remember 9-11. That's just the rule. That is the rule. If you don't remember 9-11, thanks for watching the show. That's a clear cut. Uh, way to know if you should be updating someone.

Starting point is 00:11:15 If they viscerally remember 9-11. I ask every first date, where were you on 9-11? This isn't, this isn't, you know, this you know this isn't what no I'm suspicious of everybody Where were you? What are you doing nothing? I wasn't flying right? Why'd you say like that Speaking of 9-11 the Bitcoin conference in Miami Do you see the new fucking bull? It's, I like it. You would.

Starting point is 00:11:46 It looks really cool. Look at the guy next to, is that Mr. Miami? Who's Mr. Miami? That guy. Yeah, but is that a real thing, Mr. Miami? No. Oh. He just looks very Miami.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah, that is a really fucking killer looking sculpture. It looks like, it's a mechanical looking like this. So on Wall Street, New York, they got the bull statue, you know? And this is a robot looking bull because Bitcoin is robot money. Yeah, right. It's good that a place that's going to be underwater in two years is the capital of crypto. They'll figure it out. Don't use it, they'll use all that ocean water to cool the mining rigs, the Bitcoin mining rigs. I should buy a Bitcoin soon.

Starting point is 00:12:32 One? Yeah, just one. Just one. It's $44,000. No big deal. It's nothing for me. Is that? So nervous to buy a Bitcoin. Is that nothing for you?

Starting point is 00:12:44 No, it's something. It's substantial. It's not like Bill. Is that so nervous to buy a big one? Is that nothing for you? No, it's something. It's a substantial, it's not like Bill Gates mode where like, where you've used to read the things like, Bill Gates is so rich he wouldn't even bend over to pick up a hundred dollar bill. It's like, yes he would. You ever seen the video when I'm jumping the chair? Jumping the chair? He jumps over a chair?

Starting point is 00:13:02 I think I have. Why is he jumping over the chair? He thinks it's like a cool thing you can do. Dang, look at this. Hold on. Pause the interview. Connie Chung, hold on. I want to... Here he goes. Is there no sense?

Starting point is 00:13:21 I'll cheat a little bit. Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, yeah, look at him go. Wow, wow. Wow, you know Bill Gates kind of looks like Tony Hawk. I mean, these jumps, of course. Yeah, I think that's what's good.

Starting point is 00:13:42 Bill Gates, the video is such a straightforward title too. Bill Gates jumps over chair. We really did a number on ourselves. This is the guy we're all gonna have to beg for food in two years when there's a horrible food shortage. Oh, because he owns like a bunch of farms. Farmland? Yeah, didn't he and Jeff Jeffy kisses by a bunch of farmland? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:59 Good for them. Good for them, honestly. And he's gonna be like, if you want to eat, you have to watch me jump this chair. It's side me, yeah, man. I would hang out with Bill Gates. I don't want to. I would bully him.

Starting point is 00:14:11 What's he gonna do? Have you killed? No, I can't. He can't do that. I'm sure he could. That'd be illegal. Are you sure was on that fucking plane with little children a lot?

Starting point is 00:14:23 Oh, the pedophile express or whatever? Why would you name a plane that? I mean, it's so obvious to everybody. No, the Lolita Express. Yeah, but we all knew what it was. Yeah. But we couldn't do anything about it. They could. Oh. You know, what do you think the,

Starting point is 00:14:37 whatever happened to the pilot of the pedophile express? Where's he? Oh, he, uh, he testified at Golanes trial and everything. And he said there were little kids on this plane. He was like, look, I didn't see nothing. My job to fly to plane, I love to play in man. No, I just fly to plane. Well, I mean, yeah, this is no.

Starting point is 00:15:00 Bear market. Bear market. Let's get into it, man. So there's this guy named Mike Wilson He's a drummer of the Beach boys. Is that really the drummer the Beach boys is Mike Wilson? No Mike love But the Wilson brothers I grind well. Yeah, Brian Wilson, but Mike love is the drummer well Mike Wilson is an analyst or something from Morgan Stanley and he like many people thinks that this recent Because we've been rallying since we put it in a low a few weeks

Starting point is 00:15:26 Hell yeah, hell yeah, brother He thinks though that it was just a bear market rally Bear market rally is you know, it's exactly what it sounds like a bear market is when it goes down and You know they can have pretty violent bounces See this swoop action. I'm doing for the audio listener. It's quite a violent violent poop bear market rally and again for those it's kind of fun and cute they're called bear markets because bear mark bears swipe down with their paws they go and attack you and bowls swoop up yeah well they

Starting point is 00:15:59 buck up they buck up with their horns. Bears swoop down. Don't bears have like butt plugs? Um, yeah, for hibernation. For hibernation. Yeah. Yeah. Why? Why not just let it flow out? You know, wake up covered in shit. That's true. That's true. That's true. Man, can you imagine the relief after you wake up from that hibernation? I do like those chunky bears right before hibernation. Yeah. We love those chunky bears. So, you know, Mike Wilson was saying that the rally was a quote predictable from a technical standpoint, which is certainly true because there was a bunch of like everything was quite oversold and there was a ton of panic going on and usually when everybody's on one side

Starting point is 00:16:39 of it like that, there's going to be a substantial whipsaw action in the opposite direction. And now he thinks that that bear market rally is over and that we're possibly rolling over again. His reasoning for that is that inventories are up, demand is down, probably not a good combination of things, right, when you got supply, a ton of supply and lower demand and according to the ISM,

Starting point is 00:17:04 which is the Institute for Supply Management, he thinks that the S&P should be at 4,000 today, and it's at like 4,400, and that it could hit 3,600 in the next two months. He's not the only one talking a bear game. Deutsche Bank came out. Deutsche Bank, first major bank to call for a recession coming. But there also kind of a joke of a bank. Like there are the black yes Because they're they're just just a garbage shit bank

Starting point is 00:17:31 And I can't exactly remember what they're just they're just you and your little Twitter chats No, not even me. It's just like all over. There's a bunch of jokes There's like one guy who doesn't like him. Everybody. Everybody on Fintwit. Fucking zero hedge, I don't know, zero hedge. Zero hedge doesn't like him. Yeah, zero hedge. Zero hedge doesn't like him. Zero hedge is a fucking psychotic website.

Starting point is 00:17:54 Deutsche Bank says recession in 23, stocks to fall by 20% by summer 23. Unemployment's gonna hit 4.9% in 24. Which is pretty wild, because 4.9% is still way lower than it's been like historically ever, right? Aren't we at historic lows in unemployment? We've had historic job growth,

Starting point is 00:18:15 but coming out of the pandemic. Yeah, the pandemic. That's the Biden administration loves to throw up their job growth. And it's like, yeah, dude They they stopped the economy. Yeah, and then they turn naturally. You're gonna have a rebound and then they turn it back on Yeah, man. That was crazy when they had been remember that they were just like we're done. Yeah, everything just stops Man riding my scooter around Los Angeles on the empty streets invigorating really cool So

Starting point is 00:18:48 Toich bank gotta can't remember why there says because they they did a bunch of fraud I think like almost oh wow what a weird thing for a major bank to do Yeah, but I think Not only but it was like in competence to I think they're one of the What a weird thing for a major thing to do. I think when I say incompetence, I mean like they actively They're not even good at the fraud. Yeah, they're not even good at it. They lose money.

Starting point is 00:19:11 They just like suck ass as a bank. They're a joke bank. If you're gonna be bad, at least be good at it. Yes, like JP Morgan and JP Morgan. So because it's funny within the banks, I think there's like a hierarchy. JP Morgan is at like the top. Then you got Morgan Stanley.

Starting point is 00:19:26 Did you see those NLA, those climate scientists? They handcuffed themselves to the JP Morgan office. It's downtown. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I'm thinking of the Uber. There were a bunch of Uber drivers who strikes yesterday and they were at the Uber head. They said JP Morgan is one of the worst funders of the climate catastrophe because they fund big oil and shit. Yeah, and whatnot. Like real scientists, one of them is a NASA scientist.

Starting point is 00:19:52 It's a it's either ban or Pete Kalmas. It's great guy. Ben or Pete. I can't remember what his name is. It's like I always confuse it. Go. This guy's at his rope. And he's like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing anymore. I got kids. We've already hit the point where we're gonna hit catastrophic global warming. Yeah, we need to stop it now.

Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, but unfortunately profit is, it's like, have you seen that cartoon of the little businessman sitting around a campfire with a bunch of children and the cities and ruins behind the the planet, but for brief moment in time we created a lot of shareholder value. Yeah, just perfectly. Beautiful. It doesn't matter. Yeah, and he's still in his stupid little suit and it's all tattered up. And like, oh man, uh, he, um, or JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon out, the CEO put out his annual shareholder letter, and I wanna cover a little bit of that at some point,

Starting point is 00:20:48 but I gotta read it, it's like 30 pages long and who has the time? Jamie, baboo, just, they make so much money, these fucking banks, man, it's insane. Them in the oil companies, if you're an oil company and you're making record profits We'll get to it. Just just just hang it up now just to go out on top man. Just blow it all up Any who the Fed Fed Lail Brainerd it's a hard time to say isn't it?

Starting point is 00:21:19 Lail Lail yeah, Brainerd is easy. I like to get Brainerd from my wife. Don't Apologize to who keep your wife's name out of your fucking mouth. Yeah, man. That is a very topical gag there. Wow, who could We want to talk about Will Smith the slap now come on, let's get into the meat of this thing. Yeah, we're dancing around it. I know, but I really did want to just, Brainderd said a bunch of,

Starting point is 00:21:50 because the Fed thing happened, Brainderd, and we don't even need to read it. He just said a bunch of shit that was very, very hawkish. Even the doves at the Fed now are like, we are gonna break the market's back. Yeah, well, and so those of you who don't know hawkish and dovish, because there's bullish and bearish with the market, but then when it comes to the Fed and monetary policy, hawkish means aggressive and like, you know, not market-friendly dovish, as you guessed it, is very

Starting point is 00:22:16 accommodating to the market. The market likes a dovish Fed, because it means everything's easy and everything's rainbows and sunshine. But she came out on Tuesday and said a bunch of very hawkish shit. And then yesterday the Fedman, it came out and the market took a big dump and it's big old diaper. And now we're kind of bracing for what's next because they're putting a brakes on the whole thing.

Starting point is 00:22:42 They in this former Fed governor said that the Fed has to shock the stock market in order to save us from runaway inflation. That little kid meme where he's got the gun, but he's crying. Yeah, really. It's all like. Do you know the story behind that? It's some like, I don't know, Danish photographer, and he just thought it was funny to have his kid. It's his son. And the kid was like frustrated and didn't want to take pictures anymore and

Starting point is 00:23:09 started crying. And then the guy was like, oh, this is brilliant. It's the kids holding the gun. Can we talk about what really happened? What really happened? What happened? Come on. What? Don't do this. Who? What's going on? Everybody's talking about it. Go ahead, tell us. So talking what was the where did we leave it at? When we were talking about it last week, I think he had just done the poll. Elon Musk had a poll talking about how Twitter

Starting point is 00:23:37 doesn't take free speech speech seriously, right? And he replied to that poll saying vote carefully. The consequences of this poll. Yeah. It would be very important. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Dude, dude, his voice more.

Starting point is 00:23:52 It would be very important. It sounded like a pirate. Uh, oh, shitty British pirate. And we were making fun of him. Yeah. And what did the guy go and do? He bought a steak. not only a steak. Well, well, so first it was that he bought 9.2% in the company. Yeah. That was like the first

Starting point is 00:24:11 day where we go, wow, holy shit. And when I thought when he did this, I thought he was being, because he does some fucked up shit on there, right? He's like, says weird stuff about anything he doesn't like. He says some pretty. He's a gamer. Yeah. He's just a gamer. Like, think about gamers. He's very antagonistic. Yeah. And he's an edge lord. It's also, he uses it for market manipulation. And I thought this was his way of being like, and when he took that stake, Twitter shot up. Like crazy. Yeah, it opened up the next day, 25%.

Starting point is 00:24:48 So I thought that was him being, and he filed the forum saying he was taking a passive stake, meaning he wasn't going to try to affect any change or anything. He was just investing in the company. So I thought he was saying, if you guys ever want to impose any rules or restrictions on me, I'll just sell this shit. I'll tank the stock. And he was on me, I'll just sell this shit. I'll tank the stock and He was basically saying I got you by the balls. Yeah, smart. Yeah, well, yeah, but then it comes out

Starting point is 00:25:15 He got a he got a seat on the board. It happened so fast. I think it was the very next day Yeah board of director and you have them all The fucking CEO tail between their legs. Yes, sir. Yes. Had to come out and be like we're very excited Yeah, I'm excited to share that we're appointing Elon Musk to our board through conversations with Elon in recent weeks It became clear to us that he would bring great value to our board Parag blink if you're okay I mean this guy he can't be happy about it. Have you ever seen Elon tweeted about,

Starting point is 00:25:51 he basically called him Stalin? Yeah. He, he, yeah, he's got the picture of Stalin pushing his little head of police over. But it's Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. I like, I mean, I'm torn on this because I really, I like Twitter, but it's so flawed and there are so many, the people who use Twitter are so militant on both sides.

Starting point is 00:26:16 You've got the people who say, no, you should ban everyone who is, who is offensive, who is obscene, who engages in harassment, and then you've got the other side who says it should be a free for all. It should be just... And it's a unique situation we find ourselves in culturally because it's not anything we've ever had to deal with before. It's not anything we've ever had to deal with before. Since what, like the printed fucking page ever? With the advent of the printing press? But it's not like people back then were saying things like people on Twitter were saying.

Starting point is 00:26:56 And then the harm, sure, you could find some. But the thing that differentiates Twitter is you can see a bad take and then you get the impression that everyone quote unquote agrees with it by virtue of how many likes and retweets it has. So someone could say like just to use a really extreme example, Hitler is great and then if it's got 100,000 likes, you think, wow, this is what people believe. Even though it's only 100,000. 100,000 is pretty hard.

Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah, but in the grand scheme, that's a blip. Well, no, that's a good amount of people. That's a good chunk of it. But do you get what I'm saying? Yes, it's very weird. I like, I don't know what the solution to this is. I do think there is something to be a final solution. Right? I do think there is something there needs to be a final solution Right

Starting point is 00:27:47 I Do you think they're I love making you blush is something to This town square thing where it has become the town square where When you kick someone off Twitter Trump They're just kind of you never hear about them anymore. You can't yeah, he's he's irrelevant right and old which is fine If you are okay with that and what's the other guy's name? The the British edge lord guy who was at Nero was his thing. I don't know. Oh man. Oh, he's talking about See, I don't even remember his name. Yeah, they're just, it's, and it's so nice.

Starting point is 00:28:26 But I'll tell you what, there's, Milo, Milo, Yannapolis. Remember him? Yeah. Oh, I was so glad we got trouble after a Rogan thing. No, he got in trouble after all sorts of shit. He was just like, he was one of those ones where he would tweet just the most disgusting, revolting, provocative quote unquote shit.

Starting point is 00:28:46 And people, you would see just tons of people liking it. And it made me personally feel disgusted because I thought, oh, man, there's this many people out there who agree with this piece of garbage. And then when he's gone, it definitely feels like Twitter has become a, a marginally better place. But at the same time, there is a small part of me that's like, is this the solution? Like maybe you don't ban them out, right? But you shadow ban them or something.

Starting point is 00:29:14 I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, but okay, so there's ones where you're like, yes, get rid of that guy, right? Yeah. But then there are weird ones where I'm still not like, all right, that's a huge issue, but I'm like, if it goes further, it's weird.

Starting point is 00:29:27 Like, do you remember the Hunter Biden story came out before the election? Yeah, but the Hunter Biden story, I just... It's fucking ignored, because I'm just, I don't get it. The most important thing to know about it is that Twitter and a lot of places said we're not gonna allow you to share the story anymore. It basically was just gone.

Starting point is 00:29:47 It disappeared. It couldn't be shared on Twitter. Wow. And everyone was going, it's fake. It's right wing propaganda. It's all this bullshit. Yeah, didn't they ban New York Mag or something? New York Post.

Starting point is 00:29:57 New York Post. Recently, it came out that, you know, they confirmed that the files did come from his computer and everything and it was like a legit story. And so you're like, okay, well, now you just have this power to be like, you're just not allowed to see the story, because we're worried it will help Trump. Yeah, which is, that's really concerning and wild. Right.

Starting point is 00:30:16 And on the one hand, I'm like, yeah, well, I'm glad Trump's not the president. But on the other hand, I'm like, do I really want to be party to a system like this? I'm curious, how does Elon not get checked? I mean, if your whole thing is, I'm doing this to fight for free speech and everything, there's going to be so much pressure to get Trump back on. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:38 And in terms of the stock, it's held, you know, it gapped up huge and it has held in that little like $50 range. And it'll be interesting to see if the cult of Elon exerts the same kind of upward pressure on Twitter, the same way that it did Tesla. I mean, Tesla's an entirely different beast onto itself with all kinds of blatant manipulation. I mean, it's just yeah, we couldn't even begin to describe the manipulation that has taken place to send

Starting point is 00:31:13 that stock to the highs that it's reached over the last few years. It's it's truly mind boggling. Um, there are two like I was listening to people talking about it and they were saying how there are these two competing things to where he if you want Tesla Twitter to be more profitable, you're going to have to bring in more revenue and it's likely for ads. But the problem is as you focus more on the free speech stuff, you're going to be less desirable for ads. And so it's this weird thing. And someone was saying, well, you might get into trouble

Starting point is 00:31:49 there with shareholders if you're not bringing the revenue. And it's like, look, the stock price is not gonna, it's not gonna go off revenue. It's just gonna go off general vibes from Elon. True. I mean, look at that. It's funny because we've been pulling our hair out going like how the fuck is Tesla valued like this? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:08 Oh, it's a technology company. Right. It's like, no, it's just general Elon vibes, baby. Yeah. Well, truly. I mean, you're investing in the person. In many, yeah, like Apple, you were kind of, you were also investing in the company

Starting point is 00:32:22 that's making the phones and the computers that everybody uses, but you were also investing in the vision of the company leader. I'm gonna put all your music in your pocket. Is that the end of the Steve Jobs journey? It's such a funny part. Wait, his daughter is about to leave and he goes, wait. Wait, I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket. That's literally the line. She's about to get in her car and he wants to

Starting point is 00:32:48 And it's at the very end like the credits are right after that. I Said this to every girlfriend who's ever tried to leave me Wait, I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket It's such a small amount now.'s left. Yeah, a thousand. Well you turn to your dad, Steve Jobs. What is that like 500 megabytes you old? The moron? Third, you idiot.

Starting point is 00:33:12 I bet it's gonna be the size of a playing card deck. Stupid dipshit dad, I'm leaving. I'm gonna go to Bill Gates' house. At least he can jump over it. Can you even jump over a chair? You and your pancreatic cancer can't. I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket. It's what you're saying. I like it being kind of a creepy guy trying to pick up women in a bar. I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket. Okay Steve Jerbs. Oh yeah you know

Starting point is 00:33:42 according I saw this tweet from unusual whales, shout out to unusual whales. That's a shout out all, wow. Friend of the pod. So Elon had been buying since January 31st. His average price is $35.89 worth more than $3 billion. He's already made over a billion dollars on it. But what's interesting is just the fact that someone always knows So someone bought five hundred thousand dollars worth of the 43 strike call options

Starting point is 00:34:13 with the April 29th expiration on Thursday March 31st four days before the SEC forum came out So that person was privy probably to that information and made out, you know, they made several million dollars probably like three to five million dollars But my calculation wait, but there's also another crazy story about so we're talking about how Elon filed in correctly He also didn't do his disclosures, right? And so the Washington Post Did a story about how it made him $156 million. Jesus Christ. Oh, and the fine, the SME would love you. Yeah, what's the way?

Starting point is 00:34:51 So because of a 50 year old law that requires the investors to notify the SEC when they surpass a 5% stake in a company, Musk reached that benchmark March 14th, according to the filings, but he made his public disclosure only Monday. In between, he continued to buy stock at the price of around thirty nine dollars per share bring

Starting point is 00:35:05 his total share at nine point two percent and after his disclosure price rose roughly thirty percent is now about fifty dollars per share a hundred fifty six million dollars what's the fine it's got to be no that's the thing that's the season on it and yeah they're they're going to handle and so you know justice will be swift the SEC says There is a fine probably limit to hundreds of thousands of dollars. So oh Man, it's not like I'll hurt. Yeah, they're yeah, that'll show Elon's got them by the fucking ball Oh, that's the thing is now he is so wealthy. It's it's kind of a It's have you ever seen what he said it stands for oh The what is it's name for short? No, no, he said It stands for something, but we know that he stands for Elon's oh

Starting point is 00:35:53 Suck Elon's see. Oh my god, man cock. That's where you that's where you you won't you won't take cock Man, I really wish you all things. He said on the show you said see for cock. I don't know. I just didn't feel like. So can you see my word? He really does. I mean, it's at the point now where he could do, he could do almost whatever he wants in the fine. Like they can edit button. Well, no, I mean, the fines that he would get from the SEC would not do anything to him. No, it wouldn't amount to anything.

Starting point is 00:36:36 When he did the 420 tweet about, oh, good, and take Tesla private it for $420 to share, they should have, they should have punished him by like removing him. They have the power to say, hey, he's got to step down his CEO or like step down his agenda. Didn't they reach an agreement that he wasn't allowed to tweet anymore or he had to have them prove?

Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah, but it doesn't amount to fucking anything. And now since Tesla is now part of the S&P 500, it's now just, well, now Tesla almost can't fail. It's too big to fail. Because if it does, down goes the market. Down goes everybody. So congratulations, Techno King. You did it. You finally won. I think it's a big part of, you know, how all these guys are fucking competing with their rockets and stuff, all the billionaires. Who's gonna be the first in space? Well, Jeff Bezos, he owns the Washington Post, Bill Gates, huge donor to media companies. You know MSNBC was the MS stands for Microsoft?

Starting point is 00:37:38 No, they started it. He doesn't own it anymore. Wait, what the fuck? Google it. MSNBC stands for Microsoft NBC. I'm pretty sure because Because Bill Gates Done put money into Comcast NBC MSNBC and micro what the fuck?

Starting point is 00:37:59 Yeah Wow, so I did not know that. Yeah, so Bill Gates does his donations, little media influence, Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Bill Gates is just jumping over chairs. Elon Musk was like, that's baby shit. Where does everyone get their news? They're not going to fucking MSNBC. No one's going on the Washington Post.

Starting point is 00:38:21 I'm gonna own the feed. Yeah, Twitter. Yeah, I mean, it's really smart. And I am curious what he would, it almost doesn't matter at this point. Like you said, now everybody was focused on Twitter's daily active users, monthly active users, revenue growth and profitability as the like main metrics for valuing the company, valuing the stock. And now that he's involved, I wonder if it gets the same kind of treatment and benefit

Starting point is 00:38:49 of the doubt as Tesla, where oh, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. It's just going forward. Now it's just all about hyper growth and whatever musk and go. And correct me if I'm wrong. Twitter does make money. It just, it just doesn't make money in the way that a Facebook, a Google, a Amazon does. And people are like, why doesn't it?

Starting point is 00:39:05 It seems like it should be on par with those. Because in my mind, we've talked about this before. I think Twitter works. I mean, there are some problems, right? You gotta figure out this free speech thing and deep platforming people and how you deal with that. But as far as doing what it was designed to do, just being a constant feed.

Starting point is 00:39:25 There's not a better way to follow news. There's not a better way to follow a live event as it's happening. What's the first thing you do when something crazy helps you open Twitter? And you can follow it along live. I think it's pretty great. I mean, they should, maybe they should bifurcate it

Starting point is 00:39:40 and have a free speech Twitter like, hey, which one do you want today? Do you want to log in? You can just bounce back and forth between like this. Oh, that's fun. Bad Twitter, like, hey, which one do you want today? Do you want to log in? You can just bounce back and forth between like this. Oh, that's fun, bad Twitter. Yeah, naughty Twitter. Oh, Elon, make naughty Twitter. Nauti Twitter for night mode Twitter.

Starting point is 00:39:53 But that's part of the problem with the revenue, right? It's like, what goes crazy on Twitter? Like, controversy, people in like a flame war. Yeah. And advertisers are like, well, shit, we don't, we want to be on the stuff that gets a lot of eyeballs on it, but we also don't want to be like associated with. Yeah, Sharman toilet paper doesn't want to be right, the ad that gets fed to you right

Starting point is 00:40:13 below someone, you know, using naughty language. Right. Yeah. Because I personally like someone saying, S.E. Lawn C. Yeah. Oh, by the way, Sharman now has a radio commercial that's like a rap song where the guys are like, Sharmin's good for my booty, my butt loves this toilet paper.

Starting point is 00:40:35 It's not the rap. Yeah. It's like a full on 15 second like boom. Oh, and they have the bears too, right? Sharmin's the bears? Yeah, the fucking bears. Maybe they're like are obsessed with wiping their asses They're just a sex if you spent months with just a huge corked up ass You're gonna be wanted to wipe it out with something. Yeah, I'm a cotton ale boy personally. I

Starting point is 00:40:59 Don't I'm not like brand loyal on cotton ale got the flavor ridges I couldn't even. Couldn't even tell you. You don't even know what brand is totally favorite. No idea. I probably get it from Trader Joe. Yeah, you probably do you little freak in the little four pack. You know what I won't get from Trader Joe's though?

Starting point is 00:41:18 The I am brand loyal on paper towels. Okay. Are there paper towels, dog shit? Are they the kind where as soon as you wet them, they turn gray? No, it's just that's a bad paper towels. Okay. Are there paper towels, dog shit? Are they the kind where as soon as you wet them, they turn gray? No, it's just that's a bad paper towel. Basically, everyone's, so, and a lot of people have done those, like, these are more eco-friendly paper towels or whatever.

Starting point is 00:41:35 Yeah. But it's like, they're not, because I need six of them. Yeah. They, everything, a bounty paper towel. You can ring that shit out. I reuse it. Yeah. Of course you do. You hang them up shit out. I reuse it. It's there. Of course you do you hang them up dry

Starting point is 00:41:47 You'll freak Yeah, they're amazing. Yeah, I don't know what brand of paper towel I use. I don't know I can tell you wait But before we do get too far off this talking about paper towels. Yeah, I've been asked isn't shit Uh-huh. I don't want to forget we do we do have a this is I obtained An internal memo from Elon Musk to Twitter. This is a trillionaire mindset exclusive

Starting point is 00:42:08 because a lot of people are asking what kind of changes. This is news to me, what the hell? Yeah, so it's real? This is real. A lot of people are asking what kind of changes Elon Musk is gonna be instituting in the coming months and stuff.

Starting point is 00:42:18 And I got a memo he sent to Agarwall. Agarwall? Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Do see, yeah, yeah, do you mind if I read a couple? No, go ahead. So, uh, he wants to change the blue check mark to a red pill. No, but that's a good one. Uh, first one, you're no longer allowed to, uh, post the picture of Elon with the terrible hairline next to the PayPal computer. That's done. Oh, yeah. Famous photo. First one. Uh, another one. He wants to... These are his demands. Yeah. He's no longer gonna allow progressive members of Congress, um, to talk about how much he pays in taxes. Uh-huh. He doesn't want

Starting point is 00:42:57 that to happen. Uh, you also, you can't post the picture of him in Galeen Maxwell. He's, that one's gonna be scrubbed if you do it. You're kicked off. Man dude, Emil is just on David Letterman mode right now. This is from a, this is a very real list here. Go on, what's on that one? What else is on the list? Now I'm self conscious. I'm not weird.

Starting point is 00:43:18 What else is on the very real list? The biggest thing you see on the most guess. Top 10 demands you know Dang, why did you just throw I missed it? Oh you threw the roller-deck No, no come on go on I'm pissed. Yeah, wow you threw that hey barely threw it. It's heavy. It's heavy. Yeah, okay We'll be careful you couldn't knock over one of these ten thousand dollar cameras No, you ruined my fun joke. No, but I like it. It is fun. This is part of the fun is cuz now I know I remember

Starting point is 00:43:54 But I don't remember tell me what else No, come on. What else was there? There was one more. No, there were there. It's top ten list You can't post the photo of him in Guilain. You know, long enough to talk about how Galein Maxwell introduced his brother to one of his girlfriends. Kim Bulmask, yeah, because she was underage. Yeah. She was?

Starting point is 00:44:16 I don't know. They met on the plane or something. Techno cowboy had a ton of rage go for it. Yeah. He took a minute from running his shitty restaurant. And then the last one, you're no longer allowed to post about how he's not actually the founder of Tesla or PayPal. But he is. He is the founder of Tesla and PayPal.

Starting point is 00:44:34 See, I'm already doing it correctly. I don't want to get. Can't believe you ruined my David Letterman moment. I didn't ruin it. I enhanced it, right? No, I'm sorry. That'd be like if David Letterman was doing his top 10 thing and Paul Schaefer was like, well this is weird, isn't it folks? Okay.

Starting point is 00:44:51 And then David Letterman was like, what are you doing? He's like, I'm making it better. Okay. You know how you're doing like a dry thing? It's this dry bit. Well, I'm gonna call it out and say it's fake. I'm gonna split some water. say it's fake no people are liking it they think it's better I'm so sorry I thought it was just a

Starting point is 00:45:14 razzin you know it'll be better if I call to attention the know, it's real. He said so. Fuck. Oh man. Oh, I wanna see him call Nancy Pelosi some really naughty words and not be able to get banned. Okay, go ahead, dude. A little David Letterman, okay? No, I got nothing. I can't. Remember Norm McDon your little David Letterman thing. No, I got nothing. I can't.

Starting point is 00:45:46 Uh, remember Norm McDonald's, David Letterman, impression? I remember a lot of him going on Letterman a lot and loving it. On SNL, he did a David Letterman impression and he would just go, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You know what I'm saying? I'm not kidding. Do we even care about Nancy Pelosi auto blocking someone for pointing out the installation in insulin legislation? Blue poll. I don't know. Emile, I'm sorry. Click it.

Starting point is 00:46:17 Give me something to come up. Please, bring it on. I'm reading this line. Should we kiss like Bruce Springsteen and what's his name? No, you lost like that. Lost kissing privilege. Ah, no. Okay, so this, this woman Laura Marston tweeted to Nancy Pelosi saying a reminder that

Starting point is 00:46:44 the Democrats bill does not lower insulin's price from $300 of a vial and does not apply to the most vulnerable and the uninsured. It's a copay cap for the privileged enough for those privileged enough to have insurance. She's basically calling out Pelosi on on some bullshit and then she got auto blocked by Twitter And it's just a hilarious image this you got Pelosi's Twitter and it says your auto blocked because basically this happened When it cuz Pelosi's in safety mode

Starting point is 00:47:20 There's a thing to do be in safety mode Pelosi do be safe. No, but so I mean, this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about where... Here are ways. This is problematic where you can just like insulate yourself from very real. Yeah. Legitimate critique. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:37 Cause look at this. Yeah, here are ways to help to keep you. So Nancy Pelosi gets to come out and like release statements and be like, we're doing our best for the American people. Yeah, we're gonna lower drug prices. Try to call it out. No, you're actually not yeah, and she's like oh Whoa, whoa, whoa auto blocked. That's actually fucked up. I'm actually on safety mode. This is hate speech She has covid by the way, does she yeah as of this morning she got COVID, but it's a nice to say anything about it. It's asymptomatic, which is great. Which is a okay. That's great news. We're thrilled that it's

Starting point is 00:48:14 a real that she's recovering. She's going to be fine, which is fantastic news. Congratulations, St. Anci Pelosi on her Swift recovery and the profit that she's going to make from it's probably getting she's probably make from it's probably getting She's probably gonna figure out a way to make money off Yeah, she bought call options on not get Nancy Pelosi somehow has short COVID. Yeah Fuck everything sucks everything sucks. She owns 25 million dollars in Amazon stock She's been silent on the Amazon labor union. Oh, that's a nice thing

Starting point is 00:48:46 Should we talk about the nice thing? Yeah, the statin island guys Guys and gals just K8 the Amazon warehouse in statin island Voted in favor of unionizing. Do you as a say the margin by which they won it was slim? It was like I think it's something like 2600 to 2100 or something like that. Not super slim, but it was like, what if you win? I don't know that. I'm going to keep moving. This man, Christian Smalls, you might remember, he went viral. Everyone was talking about him in 2020. He was demanding for better working conditions and PPE and all that kind of stuff during the pandemic and they organized a walk out and they fired him. They said they fired him because he was violating their social distancing rules. Holy shit. And so he formed, they didn't want to go with a already established union.

Starting point is 00:49:45 They start, he started a new union, Amazon labor union. And they have been doing this campaign, signing up people, getting people to sign their union cards, and they had the vote. They won. And it is good news. First, you know, everyone probably remembers, remembers the best summer one,ber one, that one they lost, but they are going to have another vote, because the NLRB found out that there was, of course,

Starting point is 00:50:12 all kinds of fuckery by Amazon trying to mess with the election and do all kinds of illegal things. Alibama. Now, it's great, it's very exciting. Everyone's celebrating, but it doesn't mean that it's going to happen. Amazon is obviously going to fight it tooth and nail. They're going to, they've already said there's been all kinds of weird, irregular things that happen. And we're going to fight it. We don't like it. We think we think the best thing to do is for us to have a direct relationship with our employees.

Starting point is 00:50:47 Well, I mean, to be fair, Emil, having a union would be bad because it would mean that we get our packages a little bit slower. Right. I wouldn't be able to get my, if I want to buy toothpaste and I want it now, I would have to wait like a day longer. You poor thing. I know. won't someone think of my teeth Wait, do you have your sunglasses on you by any chance? No, I don't fuck. It's okay Because so obviously the the capital class is not is not too excited about this. Yeah, I think we have a we have a we have

Starting point is 00:51:20 Crying ass Jim Kramer a little, fuck, he couldn't believe it. I can't believe I forgot my sunglasses. I'll show you Jim Kramer, being a little baby. It's scale. Well, we know that the Union Work rules are what everything is about. It's the same case with Starbucks too. If you can't tell your employees when they work, then you're really not able to have much of an ability to be able to move products or move coffee. And I think the people, the unions will be in charge of time that you need to work.

Starting point is 00:51:50 And that would be dreadful for, very dreadful for any jazz. And that's a, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're well, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're well, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're well, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're well, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're Think about as well. He looks like so many things. He looks like a pencil eraser. He looks like a pug Look at him. He looks like a fucking pug. He also looks like one of the the

Starting point is 00:52:12 The not the shrimp, but the In SpongeBob the like tall the krill plankton plankton. He doesn't look like plankton because plankton's the little guy No, he just looks like one of the the with just the regular people, the NPCs. He looks like the, he does. He looks just like, he's just such a, he does look like a pug though, big times. Oh, yeah, he looks Jim Kramer. Yeah, he's Jim Kramer. What was he just bitching about?

Starting point is 00:52:39 He said that the coffee's going to be made slower. It's Starbucks because he's referring to the Starbucks thing. Yeah, because Howard Schultz is also freaking out. Starbucks is going to have to make the coffee slower. I think there's 30 more seconds left. I just want to see what he has to say, this little creep. Right. Yeah, they got Europe to think about as well.

Starting point is 00:52:57 Yeah, look, and Martin promised, you know, Starbucks does indeed have unionized places in the ones that they franchise. But if you can't control the work rules No one wants to work certain shifts So you can just say listen, I'm not gonna work that shift and Amazon would not be able to say yes You must work it so that's what it's stake with union is it's time that you have to work Our thanks to D. We're gonna watch developments in New York. We have more on the Alabama I'm add you will. She's doing amazing work. This is a very important story because the reason why Amazon works so well is because people work when Amazon says.

Starting point is 00:53:32 Oh wow. One of the reason it works so well is because you work when Amazon says. God forbid that they like close on purpose. I mean, that's the whole point though. Amazon can't do what they do without horrible working conditions, I think. Yeah. Yeah, I would fully agree. It's really hard to make all these things happen without working conditions. Yeah, or without dry, you know.

Starting point is 00:53:54 And they do the, since all the stuff has started, they do, they offer more now. They've, I think, at a minimum, people are getting $15 an hour. They instituted the, they'll pay for your college, whatever, and that's all great. But I mean, people want more than that. They want to have a say in their working environment. They want to make sure, I mean, you know, with stuff like the fucking pandemic,

Starting point is 00:54:17 you've got people getting sick and dying, and they're like, at least give us PPE, and they're like, no, you know, I mean. I would cost money, that would hurt margins. Remember, we talked about it on the show, when the tornado hit. Oh know, I mean, that would hurt margins. Remember, we talked about it on the show, when the tornado hit. Oh, yeah. And they wouldn't let the people leave.

Starting point is 00:54:29 Yeah, they wouldn't let people leave. They said, you know, well, you'll be fired if you leave and go shelter at home. Yeah. And people come. It's safer here in the big warehouse. Right. And so, you know, it says, new evidence reveals Amazon's culpability

Starting point is 00:54:40 for the deaths of six workers in a warehouse collapse last year. Building sport beams weren't anchored to the ground a violation of international building code. So I mean, you get these people who are forced to stay in unsafe conditions because they're told they'll lose their jobs. I mean, if they had a union, they could be like, no, I'm going home, talk to the fucking union. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:58 You know, you have people pissing and shitting in bags. And I mean, we also have the, there's a new story by the intercept. They obtained some of the piss and shit bags. They've obtained the piss and shit bags. No, they have obtained, Amazon wants to launch this like intercompany chat where you can, you can talk to people and it's like their own slack.

Starting point is 00:55:19 It's, yeah, it's like their own social media channel, basically. And they have, they're a little bit worried about negative sentiments appearing on Amazon social. So you can't, they've, they've, they've been a bunch of words. You're not allowed to say union, of course. Of course you can't say union.

Starting point is 00:55:40 But then you can't say a bunch of things. You can't say restrooms. I wonder why you wouldn't be able to say restrooms in the Amazon. Is it because there's horrible stories coming out that all their employees, if they want to be on time with their deliveries and their shifts, they have to shit and piss and begs.

Starting point is 00:55:55 You can't say fire. What if there's a fire? You can't say grievance. You can't say plantation. I want, why is that? Why can't you say plantation? Or slave or slave labor. You can't say slave labor. You can't say plantation. I want why is that? Why can't you say plantation or slave or slave labor or master? You can't say freedom. Wow, that's good. Why do all these Amazon employees want to say these things?

Starting point is 00:56:14 You can't say let's just go to I like you can't say this is concerning as a phrase or this is dumb I also like I don't care. It's like when my parents used to say, I can say shut up and you're like, is that it cursed? What's that? You can't say trash. Can't say robots. You can't say rude. Can't say senior.

Starting point is 00:56:34 And so help me God. If you say coalition, you are outta here. I swear to God. If you talk about building a coalition. Yeah. It's really wild. Wait, is this real? Do we really, this has to be fucking fake? No, it's really why wait is this real? But do we really this has to be fucking fake?

Starting point is 00:56:48 No, it's not if you so you can go to the you can go to the article from Ken Clip and Stene is a great reporter. Um, He got it was leaked from a Boo, I'm surprised they didn't they didn't ban the word Jeff or baseless. You know, that's kind of surprising. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 00:57:09 Hell yes. Also, I mean, I was reading through the article. It is such like a fucking glimpson to how horrible it can be working in corporate America of just like, in November 2021, Amazon convened a high level meeting in which top executives discuss plans to create an internal social media program that would let employees recognize co-workers' performance with posts called shoutouts.

Starting point is 00:57:29 Oh, huge shoutouts, my buddy. Like, piss all day, didn't even piss. Right. The major goal of the program, Amazon's head of worldwide consumer business said, was to reduce employee attrition by fostering happiness among workers and also productivity. Shoutouts would be a part of a game-of-five reward system in which employees are awarded virtual stars and badges for activities.

Starting point is 00:57:49 You're a fast reader. Am I reading too fast? No, no, you're just a fast reader. Hey, we got this thing, this caveat though, this update buried at the bottom of this article. The headline and article have been updated to emphasize that the app launched is still in the planning phase and is not yet launched.

Starting point is 00:58:03 It has also been updated to include comment from Amazon denying that many of the words obtained by the intercept would be screened out. So that's interesting. So I wonder which ones would be kept in. Also, I would think that they would just say, we're not, like you can say whatever you want on this thing. It's, so there's still obviously gonna be muting or censoring some of these words, but yeah.

Starting point is 00:58:28 So it's a little inaccurate to say that all these words and phrases are going to be... No, it's not. This is not launched yet. This is a memo that he obtained from leaked input. The whole program hasn't launched yet, but... Right. This is something they are pitching that they don't want. But they're also saying that there's no plans for all of these words to be screened out. So that's what Amazon says. Well, yeah, but so it hasn't happened yet and they're saying that they're probably going to walk it back. But it's interesting that that would be part of a list anyway.

Starting point is 00:58:58 Yeah, I bet if it fucking leaked, they would walk it back. Yeah, I bet if you called them and they're like, hey, we got this list, they're like, oh, yeah, we're going to walk those back. Yeah, I bet if you called them and they're like, hey, we got those lists, they're like, oh yeah, we're gonna walk those back. Yeah, they should. Also, you have to assume that with however many hundreds of thousands of employees, shit like that's gonna get leaked. Why would you not leak in like a piss bag, so to speak?

Starting point is 00:59:21 You know, like the piss and shit bags. The nice thing is, so Christian Smalls and the Amazon Labor Union is that they are getting a lot of requests from other factories, other sites to kind of help run a union campaign. Tight for theirs. Did you see Joe Biden? He, the depressing video, not that the,

Starting point is 00:59:41 I fucking, I can't watch any more depressing Joe Biden videos. It's not even, I just feel bad for watch any more depressing Joe Biden video is I'm an I just feel bad for the guy. It's like it's like see now grandpa and Thanksgiving that he's paying attention to I hate. These fucking goons were like we're gonna do everything we can and guilt everyone in this country and devoting in Mr. McGoo, and then we're all just gonna laugh at him. And I got a- And I got to be like, For those of you who don't know, Mr. McGoo

Starting point is 01:00:12 was a beloved cartoon character who was blind and old. And the gag was that he would always almost, he would almost like walk off a cliff or something, but he just sort of, yeah, he just sort of buzzed through life, carefree with a pep in his step, had no idea like, oh, what's this? And it's like a lion, oh good kitty.

Starting point is 01:00:36 And then he just keeps on walking and the lion's like, does this hold motherfucker? It really is like that though. As if like, they like have to limit his public exposure when he was in Europe. They were like, get out there and say something about Russia and Ukraine and he basically called for regime change in Russia.

Starting point is 01:00:54 And then he was like, that's not what he meant. He didn't mean that. You know, we're not talking about that. What did he say though? What video are you talking about? Oh, he basically was like, Amazon, we're coming for you. Ah, which I mean, look, he also likes to tweet that health care is a human right.

Starting point is 01:01:10 But they've been saying that we haven't seen Amazon for ages movement on that. Yeah, they don't have the money to go after Amazon. No, I mean, as a company, Amazon is worth like a 16th of the United States GDP. But you know who wasn't happy? Who? company, Amazon is worth like a 16th of the United States GDP. But you know who wasn't happy. Who? Fucking Jen Sackie. Didn't she bail?

Starting point is 01:01:31 Oh, she's got a bail. She's gonna go work for MSNBC. Good for her. It's all the revolving work. Microsoft NBC, let's start calling it. It's like Cod of Creeps. Why don't we not that anymore? Yeah, vote it is.

Starting point is 01:01:41 Okay, call it that. Microsoft NBC, so what, what did Jen Sackie say? Nothing, she's just like through her teeth. Okay, call it that. Microsoft NBC. So what, what did Jensacky say? Nothing. She's just like through her teeth. Like, you're the most fessine, the Amazon election. All her pals either work like Jay Carney, ex Obama. Basically, she had Jen Sackie, he had Jen Sackie's job. Now he works at, he works at Amazon doing like PR shit.

Starting point is 01:02:08 And I think the consulting companies who used to work for it was the one getting billions of dollars to lead the campaign against the union. Everything sucks, huh? Everything sucks. Everything sucks ass. But look, if you're bored and you want to do something fun, you should fucking salt Amazon and Starbucks. Salt them?

Starting point is 01:02:35 It's like, uh... Is that an acronym? I don't know if it is an acronym. It's basically when you go get a job strictly with the intention of trying to unionize the workplace. Oh, interesting. Like our good friend Annie did. Yeah. Annie kind of did it. Well, he was also trying to do a report about it or something.

Starting point is 01:02:53 Uh, alright. But yeah, Howard Schultz also, he's the intern CEO of Starbucks again and he's, uh, he's his fucking pissed. He's pissed that they're trying to rip you away from your family. It's Starbucks where a family. He's also, if your employer starts saying that you're a family, run. Yeah. He's also put a halt on their stock buyback and he's saying that they're putting that money

Starting point is 01:03:21 toward bettering the Starbucks experience. I don't know what the fuck. It's crazy, because I was reading, his investors are like back off a little bit. Oh yeah, because. I got on this shit, because it's hurting the stock. Right, and truly a massive management. They were saying this legal strategy of rehashing

Starting point is 01:03:38 the same argument over and over and over again, that's a lot of time and money and resources that is waste. The investors have implored Shultz to consider and banning his long distaste for unions, telling him that it is the norm in many places for companies to have positive working relationships with their unions, they've also warned him that Starbucks reputation is on the line.

Starting point is 01:03:56 Howard Shultz, once you get back to drawing the peanuts cartoon, you fucking coffee, wait, that's Charles Shultz. You thought Howard Schultz. I didn't think that I knew come on. Come on. It's me Howard Schultz, part-time illustrator of the peanuts. The peanut gang.

Starting point is 01:04:13 When I'm not drawing Charlie Brown, I love to work my workers into the ground. Is Charles Schultz? Cossy's not the only thing we grind. What else do we grind? People's spirits. Oh. Look, it's important to note too. What Jim Kramer is talking about,

Starting point is 01:04:30 this thing of like you just lose total control. It's like, Hi, he thinks you're that like workers just go like, sorry, Bucco, we're not working today. Yeah, I don't like that shift. So nobody's working with me. You come to a collective agreement where workers are represented and have a say in there that you can make sure that there is time to

Starting point is 01:04:48 have bathroom breaks you can make sure that you are properly protected you can have livable wages you can have and you can tell that when he was saying that proper benefits all the ship you can tell that when when he's saying what he was saying on on the show he's like looking down and kind of being, was he sick or something? He didn't seem. Powered Charles? No, no, a Jim Kramer.

Starting point is 01:05:10 Oh. He seemed just like, not despondent, but just, oh yeah, it's gonna be bad because nobody's gonna wanna work these shit. I think that just kind of happens when you get beat down by the internet. Turn into a pug. He's slowly, some witch, he crossed a witch at some point

Starting point is 01:05:29 in his life and she put a hex on him to slowly turn into a pug. And we're just not gonna notice when they're just gonna be on there fully. He's anamorphing? Yeah, he's anamorphing. He's gonna be, he's got the face and everything. We used to, there's some family friends,

Starting point is 01:05:45 were, southerners and southern Jews, which is really, really something that I did not think existed. I don't think they're that popular. I don't think they're that many. They're probably aren't, but they had a little pug named Otis and Kathy was the matriarch of the family. And she used to tell us,

Starting point is 01:06:05 hey, you know, if you were to, if you were to drive a remote control car in his face, well, he's sleeping, his eyes would pop out. And we were like, what? Really? She's like, yeah, look at those things. They're just little bug eyes. And they were just, yeah, popping out.

Starting point is 01:06:20 What a horrible thing we did. To pugs? Just to dogs. French bulldogs, all of them. Oh, yeah, just Just bulldogs those things oh yeah Labrador's you got the hip dysplasia Labrador's are great though. Yeah, they are they're just fucking that dog.

That would actually be, that's, this show will end when I beat Ben to death with my phone.

Starting point is 01:07:56 Why would that happen? Jesus Christ! I don't know, it's not close yet, but I'm saying one day. I may have to look it could be horrifying. Maybe when we're 100. When we're 100, when we're 100, buddy, I'm not living that long. I am. You do. Yeah, you, yeah, yeah.

It's all just coming in, just turn off notifications. Because then they refund it. Then they're like, they send me 50 cents and then they request it back. Yeah, it's all some sick game they're playing.

Starting point is 01:09:22 Yeah, it's just like trying to... That's why I stopped sending stuff back. I said, look, you want to send me money? I'm gonna keep it. That's why I changed my name, so I don't have to get those goddamn email notifications from Venmo. Turn off notifications.
