1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Don ermine say the game. Don't get out shame man.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: You are a donkey. Today does not discriminate. I might

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: not have the song of today, but I got to

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: donkey that. If you ever feel I need to be

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: a donkey man, hit it with the breakfast club. Bitch.

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Please don't give today today out at sharing. Donkey today

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: for Friday, September thirty. If may or may not go

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: to Tony Blevins, I have to lead. I have to

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: leave that for you to decide with a little breakfast

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: club court. Not you as in ed sharing, but as

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: in you, the people, the listeners. Okay, let me tell

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: you the story. Tony was Apple's vice president of Procurement.

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Now I don't know exactly what that job entails, but

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: I did some research, and by research I mean Google.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: The VP of Procurement is responsible for leading procurement efforts

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: to efficiently and effectively enable business units and functional partners

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to maximize the value they received suppliers to meet their objectives,

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: and according to Google, it has a base salary for

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: It has a base salary for companies like Apple that

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: range from two hundred and eighty eight thousand and three

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six thousand, nine hundred and eighty with

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: an average base salary of three hundred and thirty one thousand,

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighties probably way more, but that's what

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Google says. Basically, it's a great job. Many humans on

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: this planet would love to make that kind of money,

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: And because of what people are perceiving as Tony's poor

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: choice of words, there is now a job opening at Apple. See.

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Tony was approached by TikTok an Ig creator Daniel Mack,

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: who is known for asking people in fancy cars what

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: they do for a living, and Tony was driving a

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Think I pronounced that right, which

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: I believe is considered a fancy car. En vu the

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: car guy that a fancy ride? A Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Yes,

34
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: it was only made a couple of years. And that's

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the only uh collaboration at Mercedes and McLaren di together.

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: It's called SLR The doors go up. You see myself

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: collaboration with McDonald's. It just makes sense to McDonald's. The

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: McLaren no, m okay, well I know nothing about it.

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't go chasing luxury cars. I stick to the

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: civics and the cameras I'm used to, all right, But

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: he was in one of those fantasy cards, the Mercedes

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: Benz SLR McLaren, and he got approached by this big

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: TikTok creator Daniel Mack, and this happened. Good sir, your

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: cards awesome. What do you do for a living big

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: breasted women? But I think weekends and major holidays off.

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh gay, that is quite the career. I'm looking to

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: get into that. So you're interested. I got a hell

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: of adental plan. Oh god, do you do it all?

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: You do it all, and you participate in this activity.

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Well, I guess finding big breasted

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: women is what he calls for. Kerman. Now, what's interesting

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: about that is it was simply unnecessared. There. You are

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: a senior executive at Apple. You get paid for helping

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: to precur apples, not melons, which is what I find

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: hilarious about that video. You didn't talk about apples at all,

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: but you win, right, the coconuts, the melons, the grapefruits,

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the watermelons, depending on if they got scratch marks in that.

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: And needless to say, Apple didn't like it. Let's go

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: to Bloomberg for the report. Please. Today we reported that

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Tony Blevins, Apple's longtime vice president of Piccurement, been at

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: the company for about twenty two years or so. He

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: is leaving the company after he appeared in a very

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: viral video that aired earlier this month on Instagram and TikTok,

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: and in the video he made some crude comments. This

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: is a TikTok and Instagram account by a creator named

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Mack. He goes up to people at car shows

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills elsewhere in the world, goes up to

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: people and asks them, if they're driving a fairly expensive car,

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: what they do for a living. And Blevin's response was

70
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: clearly not in line with what Apple felt was acceptable,

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: leading to his departure now from the company. Now, I'm

72
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: will be honest. This is where breakfast Club court comes in.

73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: And this is where I need to ask you to

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: listen as if he should get the biggest he haught

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: because I don't think he should have to step down.

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: I don't think he should be fight Because y'all may

77
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: not know, but he was quoting the movie, and the

78
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: movie was a film called Arthur and Arthur was a

79
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one film in which Dudley Moore plays a wealthy,

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: alcoholic playboy in search of love, and when asked what

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: he does for a living, this is what author replied with,

82
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: I am my own busted. Dudley Moore is Arthur So

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Tony Blevins was trying to be funny. He's just old.

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I get it. He's old.

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Dude runs up on him from TikTok and I g

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: he wants to seem cool, so he quotes Dudley Moore,

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: an author. But what you don't realize, Tony, is that

88
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: when you older, what we find funny, what wasn't offensive

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: to us in our generation and our entertainment is offensive

90
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: to this generation. So should this man be punished because

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: this generation doesn't know he's making a joke, doesn't know

92
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: he's quoting a movie. You know, all they know is

93
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: that he's an Apple executive and he went on TikTok

94
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: and he went viral, and everybody's making this thing, making

95
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: a stink out of this thing because he quoted a movie.

96
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: Should he be fired? Should he be forced to step

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: down for this? I personally don't think so. But the

98
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: card is open. Let's discuss, all right, eight hundred five

99
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one. Let's have this the conversation.

100
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club, Goal morning, the breakfast Club
