Welcome to Marco Moves. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.080 As I said, it's election eve in the Succession universe, 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.359 which means a big at n party at Kasa Wam's 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.400 gans hosted by Tom and Shiv. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:28.680 What do you think about that. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.119 They should not have hosted this party together? I could 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.000 have told them that last week. I understand that they 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.880 were failing lonely. They had to reconnect. But this was 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.280 a bad move. I would sell, sell, sell on Tom 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:39.680 and Hiv. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.120 We'll just saying I think you're you're jumping the gun, 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.840 because before you sell, before you buy, let's talk about 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.959 something that's that's red hot, and that's the sexual. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:54.920 Relationship. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:03.200 Tom and Shiv rejuvenated. They're back together, at least on 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:09.799 the physical plane. Shiv, meanwhile, is acting as Matson's informant 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.639 on the inside of Wastar roycoach. She's letting the Swede 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.880 in real time know how her brothers intend to tank 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.640 the Gojo deal, which is huge because Ken's living plush. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:32.160 Spiel sent Wastar's stock into the stratosphere. Tom, because they've 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.880 things are going so well, at least the sex, they 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.320 can't stop texting about it. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.200 It's disgusting. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.480 They also like incredibly boring text us and it's like, 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:44.560 really sad. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.800 How's the sex? Unbelievable? How's your PETI is? 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:57.840 Oh my god, money, it's not giving them any good 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.080 sexting skills. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.360 Tom gives Shiv the gift of a scorpion in some 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.880 sort of plastic, some sort of acrylic. I wish we 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.400 knew what a company put the scorpion in the acrylic 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.080 so he could invest in it. But he does this 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.520 one because it's a reference to the famous frog and 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:24.440 the scorpion tail, which is a lesson about how the 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.680 parable about how the scorpion's across the river and the 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.280 frog is there, and he says, hey, frog, I need 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.039 to cross the river. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:33.560 Can I get on your back? And the frogs like, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:34.000 I don't know. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.799 You're a scorpion. You sting because you have the stinger 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.320 and that's how it goes. And the Scorpion's like, no, I. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:40.720 Won't do it. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.760 I promise because if I if I stung you, you 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.679 would you would die and then I would drown. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:46.800 So I'm not going to do it. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.120 And then as the frog is taking the scorpion across 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.520 the river, it stings it. And this is the thing 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:56.920 that Tom is referencing here. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:57.839 Very romantic. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.640 I think it's very romantic. I think it's wonderful. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.440 And he says that it's because a shiv is being 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.360 quote such a hot piece of ass and quote a 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.440 foxy little minx, and I think that's wonderful. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.040 I want to say, if Tom had just bought Shiv 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.039 a nice piece of jewelry, here or something vaguely sentimental. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.240 I feel like the whole fall out of this episode 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.919 could have been avoided. But it is actually good that 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.200 the episode goes the way that it needs to go, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.839 because this is just truth a curry the scorpion that 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.640 will go down in all time TV terrible gifts. But 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:31.800 I loved every second. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.240 I don't think it was that bad. I think it 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.000 was kind of funny, and I think Shiv. I think 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:43.240 Shiv is just a person who can't take any criticism 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.240 or reference to how shitty she has been. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.400 But also Tom is shitty, so it's hard to unwrap. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.479 I think I think Tom. I think you raise a 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.440 great point. I think Tom was ready to be more 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.120 self aware and like snarky and self referential about how 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.080 toxic their relationship was. Shif is not ready for that. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.280 Chiff wanted to settle back into this idea that they 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.320 had some great marriage that was passionate and they loved 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:07.920 each other and they could trust each other. But that's 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:08.599 just not true. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.279 Ken Roy is busy working on things that are happening 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.359 on six continents, and he's doing it all because he 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:21.760 wants to protect his children. Allegedly. On that note, he 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.599 meets Rava, his ex. Rava has called this meeting which 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.000 Ken barely has that listen if this is a legal thing, 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.320 He says like, I just don't have time for it. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:33.479 I don't have the bandwidth. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.720 I got all this stuff happening, this gojo and the 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.919 suite and all this stuff and the living plus and 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:38.520 all that stuff. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.120 What's going on? 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.599 And she says, Okay, what happened is our daughter, Sophie 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:47.800 was pushed by a person who was wearing a raven 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.120 head hat and they also kind of said something of 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.480 a racial nature. Now, a Ravenhead, you might recall, is 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.120 the atn anchor who has read Mind Camp several times 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:05.240 and has named his dog Blondie after Hitler's dog Blondie 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.279 Rip Blondie. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:13.960 Ken flips out, saying to Rava. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.760 Like, where were you? Why was our daughter on the street? Kid, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.840 Like I would do anything to protect her. You must 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.880 tell me all the details. And Robin's like, why don't 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.119 you try calling her every once in a while? 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.360 Rob's like, why was I raising your daughter? 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.360 Raising your daughter while you were who knows what? Prop 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040 Number one here on market moves. What's the longest a 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.360 parent can go without talking to their child and still 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.880 be considered a good parent. How long let's say the 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:39.880 child is. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:41.960 Thirteen. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.480 I'm gonna be controversial. Hit. If Kendall Roy was my dad, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.360 I would actually think it was baf him to not 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:50.880 call me. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.360 So I'm saying the longer he goes, the bad parent 0:07:53.440 --> 0:08:00.200 he is in calling my child. Interesting. I think you 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.640 can go eighteen hours. You have to call every day. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.320 At thirteen, he hasn't been calling her eighteen months. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:09.200 I'm just laying. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:14.560 You it's been it's been a it's been a year's 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:16.560 certainly months. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:17.720 But I think it's you. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.640 Have to I think it text maybe. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.840 I think I think if it doesn't average out to 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:32.680 something like once every business day, then probably something is wrong. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.800 And I think let's put an absolute floor on it. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.160 Three and a half times a week. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.360 I think that's good because also it could start with 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.560 once a day when you get the divorce and you 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.120 just want the kids to know you all that, and 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.079 then it can become more of a chill routine thing. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.160 But we know if he can go, it can go down. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:47.920 It can go down. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.400 Are you going to have the consistency? Yes? I think. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.720 Okay, Now what about eight years old? Eight years old. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.000 You should be calling him every night to say good night. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.280 Let's be real. If it's your good parent, Kendall, worry, 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.840 he's probably sending Oka say money. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.000 Okay, but what if Ken is working on things on 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:08.280 six continents and times content minus Antarctica. But we're working 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.240 on something there obviously. And by the way, stock tip 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.679 of the day look for waste star roycode to. 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.600 Expand into entire There's something happening there. I can't really. 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.720 Talk about more tips. 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.160 Meanwhile, on the gojo front, Ken and Roman are pulling 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.319 out all the stops to kill this deal, to murder 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.360 it in its crib. That means full penetrative rat fucking, 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.679 and attempt to find any issue at all, personal or 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.160 professional with which to attack Mats and to get him 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.120 out of their hair. In case the stock bump fades 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.960 or Mattson decides to come over the top of one, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.520 he somehow finds the juice to come over one ninety two. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.520 Also like props to Ken for this living plus stock bump, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:59.959 this completely fictitious technology slash real estate mashup. It's amazing 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.640 that this bump has taken place, but it might. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:04.160 It could feed. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.240 You never know, I will say horrible to say it, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:09.120 but if. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.840 You're here, this is Marco muse saying. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.520 I'm saying if you're here for the money, if you're 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.360 here for the moves. This is the hard truth. Kendall's 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:22.440 nightmarish manic performance with the stockbump and how good Roman 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.679 is at rat fucking. That is a powerful combination if 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.760 they could keep that consistent. Because Roman finds that shout 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.440 quickly through like one phone call. He doesn't have to 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.640 cozy up to Lucas, he doesn't have to play a game. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.480 He wants it done, and he has those connections. That 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.960 is a dangerous pairing. The problem is we know that 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.840 the two of them are not consistent. This guy knows 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.520 how to fuck a rat. He knows how to fuck 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.920 a rat. That's one thing people say about Roman Amory the. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.440 Boys speaking of rat fucking, they need an expert. You 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.719 don't just go amateur when it's time to rat fun. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.960 You have to go for a professional. So the Boys 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:03.080 invite Democratic strategist, former ship boy and current chief of 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:08.800 staff something to Gil Evis and also affiliated with the 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.320 with potential President elect Jimenez. They call Nate in to 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.880 work the regulatory angle. Shiv gets word of this, and 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.920 she calls Lucas to warn him, Hey, my brothers are 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.559 going to go regulatory. Why don't you come to the 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.440 Aten election party. My dad, before he died bending over 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.720 the toilet to fish his phone out, did invite you 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.680 to the Aten election party. So why don't you just 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.120 come to the party because you need to counter this 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:43.079 regulatory strategy. Meanwhile, Greg, acting as Tom Wamscan's hangman, fires 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:49.000 one hundred folks from eight in in three days promptly 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:55.360 number two zoom And honestly, that's the kind of empathy 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:59.959 and warmth and emotion that I That was beautifully done. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.200 I have to say, I feel like that is one 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.240 of the realist moments that has ever been in Succession, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.560 is that you're getting fired by some Nepo baby over 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:17.360 zoom who's reading. He's not even quarter, he's just the 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:22.760 just then and you're getting fired by a nepple baby 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.719 over the zoom with CODs and he can't even read them, right, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:28.959 it was perfection. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.600 One thing I'll note, and I think this is one 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:36.800 of the most subtle subtle messages from in the world 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.439 of Succession. If you watch that zoom, it's uh, I 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.559 was surprised to see that so many women and women 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.560 of color and people of color work at ATN. Always 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.800 the first to go yep, that's what Tom wams gans 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.400 know knows, and that's what Greg is helping him with. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.520 Prompt number two, Are you a good person if you 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:56.480 work for ATN? 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:01.160 No? I just I'm sorry. Everyone everyone has to have 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.680 a job. I understand the hair at market moves. We 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.560 have very good job with very rich We have millions 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.560 of dollars, billions of dollars. We don't you know, we 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.319 can't really complain. But look, I worked in a lot 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.680 of sheet jobs in my life, and there's always a 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.720 shit job that you can take to pay the rent 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.400 that is not working at ATN, that is not promoting 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.840 like a neo Nazi UH presidential candidate. Also, I think 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.240 it's the ultimate trap. There are surely people there are 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.320 ATN who are subjectively or even objectively like all good people, 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.720 and they want to change things from the inside let happen. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.760 They love their they love their pets, they love their kids, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.679 They call their kids once every month. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.400 Good people work at ATN. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.040 Meanwhile, at the party, Roman gets a call from GOP 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.560 presidential candidate Hair mancing. You know about Jared Mencin, the 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.840 neo Nazi fascist GOP candidate who we just mentioned Team 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.720 one thousand year Reich is down in the polls. They're 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.840 down from a thousand years. It looks like it's going 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.760 to be I don't know, we can't really put a 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.640 number on it, but certainly they're like three percent down 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.200 in the polls. And they figure, hey, here's an idea 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.160 from camp mencan. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.760 What if. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.400 Presidential candidate Connor Roy, currently pulling at one present in 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:23.240 Alaska and other states with similar wildlife to people ratios, 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.160 drops out? What if he drops out? The people who 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:33.440 love Connor Roy, the kanheads might go Mencon. To sweeten 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.360 the deal for Connor, they offer him the ambassadorship to Somalia. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.520 He counters with, Hey, I love to get to Europe. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.280 Of course he would, of course, he of course he'd 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.840 love to get to Europe. What he says, what if 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.400 I come up through the underbelly? What if I come 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:52.800 up to the Balkans? What about Albania? What about Croatia? 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.960 What about Bosnia Herzegovina? What about one of those places? 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.880 They say, no, okay, what about South Korea? Top ten 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.720 and GDP and they have nukes. No, okay, what about 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.720 North Korea? We don't have an ambassador there. Yeah, but 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.680 what if I'm the guy? What if I open it 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.840 up like Nixon and China? They're like, no, okay, what 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:14.720 about Oman? 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:15.840 Interesting? 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.840 Connor says, I'll take it to Willa and we'll see 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.120 what happens. I will pitch Oman to her. Lucas arrives 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.080 at the party in a gold shiny bomber. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.120 Is unbelievable. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.080 Unbelievable and I think maybe my favorite detail from this episode. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.360 Lucas Matson arrives wearing Kyries. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:42.800 Yes, it is such a big state, and that constantly 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.520 in frame. Yeah, all the times he's always sitting in 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.240 some funny posts, so you can see that he's wearing I. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.640 Want you to know that he's wearing Kyries. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.960 Lucas Mattson probably knows nothing about the NBA, but huge 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:56.520 fan of Kyrie. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.320 And that says what it says, It really does. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.320 The bros are thrown for a loop. They didn't expect 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.520 Mattson to be here. They have no idea that this 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.280 is Shiv's doing, so they tell Shiv you need to 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.840 stick to him like glue. Okay, and find out what 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.880 he's up to. She goes over to Matson and she says, listen, 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.160 you need to act semi normal. This is a big deal. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.680 You're on the biggest stage, right I act like you're Kyrie. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.640 You get the ball in your hands, game seven clock 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.760 winding down. You need to act normal, like a normal 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.680 capitalist who maybe fires like one hundred people over zoom 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.880 over three days, not some eurotech like data freak who 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:39.239 just thinks of people as like a way to acquire 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.280 information and intelligence. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:42.240 Don't do that. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.520 Act like a person who just has a lot of money, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.360 a regular. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.360 Person who's a lot of money. No normal, that's right. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:55.360 Later, mattson Lobby's Nate, Nate Shiv's former flame, telling him listen, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.960 I'm a normal guy, just like Shiv has been telling 0:16:59.000 --> 0:16:59.480 me to say. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.480 These are safe hands and what are you gonna do? 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.560 You're gonna let the deal go through to the fail 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.400 Suns and they're just like their dad, but they're dumber 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.600 like I'm smart. I'm from Europe and I created Gojoe YadA, YadA, YadA. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.280 You should give it to me. I'm wearing kyries and 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:14.959 a cool bomber. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:15.520 I'm cool. 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.439 He also says and also big changes at ATN. Like 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.639 you don't like as a Democrat, you don't like the 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.119 messaging that comes from ATN because why because they support 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.720 a neo Nazi. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.600 Kennedy a big deal. But for you, here's what I'm 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:31.840 gonna do. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.720 I'm gonna I'm gonna do regime change like you guys 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.359 did Interact. I'm gonna do regime change there and everybody 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.080 out you know who that means. Particularly that means Tom 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.960 Doo's apartment. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.399 We're doing this in but we're gonna fire Tom. But 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:46.119 don't tell him. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.600 He's standing right over there watching me say this, but 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:54.800 don't say anything. Ken also pitches Nate, Hey, okay, I 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.120 know you just had a minute with Lucas Mattson. 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.160 Here's my pitch. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.280 What if you take Uncle Sam big muscly thighs and 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:07.439 you wrap them around Gojo's neck and you squeeze, and 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.920 in return for that, ATN will go easy Like Sunday 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.920 morning on President Jimenez. 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.280 For his first hundred days. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.320 You walk into that first hundred days, that big press 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.200 conference where you say, hey, here's what happened in the 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.760 first hundred days, and you go there without any criticism 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:25.840 or anything from ATN. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:26.480 We're just going to. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.080 Talk about like how the water is making people grow 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.080 breasts on their cheeks or something like that. Okay, that's right, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:40.960 Or how Disney now wants everybody to wear pink all 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.600 the time. That's what we're going to talk about at ATN, 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.560 not the president. Prob Number three, is this a good deal? 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.800 Regulation for smooth sailing on ATN for one hundred days? 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.400 Good deal? Do you counter? If you are Nate? 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.000 I think Nate knows Kendall too well to know that 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.119 Kendall cannot promise that ATN those people are going to 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.240 say whatever they want. We know that the anchors are 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:03.960 going to say what they want. You can fire as 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.920 many of them as you want if you want the ratings, 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.760 which Kendall wants. They're going to say wow, shit, and 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.320 they're not gonna support a Democrat. Go easy on a Democrat. Also, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:16.240 this is a bad plan in general because they essentially 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.760 want the regulation to stop the deal because they're going 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.440 to say it's a monopoly issues. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.800 Especial crossover gambling. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.640 I have seen in real life when those mergers are stopped, 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.199 both companies lose a fuck ton of money. So this 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.480 is just a pure chaotic Kendle plan, and I sees. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.520 You can't have like a Swedish person with their head 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.000 corporate headquarters in Norway. That's like an anti trust thing. 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.359 You will find something. 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.240 Law that's law. 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.800 Ken in Rome discover bom Bomb that Matson has been 0:19:54.480 --> 0:20:01.720 doing something untoward towards his head of communications. Ever, this includes, 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.679 but is perhaps not limited to, the sending of bodily fluids, 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:10.119 certainly blood, perhaps others. And also have we done at 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:14.679 also which, to be fair, could just be stuck in 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:15.159 the blood. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.919 We don't know what that was. 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.439 So they Yeah, I'm just saying, like, let's cut the 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.960 guy's some slack. Obviously that's bad, but you know what. Anyway, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:30.119 they approach her after Greg walks up and fake fires 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.359 her on Lucas's behalf kind of trying to get close 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.919 to the guy, and they discover from Ebba the gojo's 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:44.080 Indian numbers, the subscriber numbers from India are fraudulent, a sham. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.280 They're for gazy. This is just the thing they need 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:48.840 to get the government to kill the deal. They don't 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.359 even need to get the government to kill the deal. 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.919 They can just tell the board, hey, it's fifty percent 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.879 stock in a company that's inflated because the Indian numbers 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.199 are fake and the board will absolutely reject them. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.280 I just want to mention, do you remember recently in 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.440 the history of Succession where somebody else named Kendall Roy 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:05.760 inflated some numbers. 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:11.320 I don't recall. I don't. I don't recall. That may 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.680 have happened, and we may have. 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.160 We may have talked about and if I did talk 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.520 about it, then I just don't remember it right now. Sorry, 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.400 I just changed vitamins and I'm going up. 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.600 This news set. Shiit of shivering. 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:33.439 She's concerned because she has gone full mats, and she 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.680 confronts him and he's basically like, yeah. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.720 Is exactly why I think Mason is so dangerous is 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.879 because Mason is the only honest person. He's fucking horrible, 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.399 but he's honest about it. He's honest about lying, honest 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.879 about being a sham. He's honest about the way he 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.960 abuses people. He's the opposite of the Roys, who do 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.760
