We're talking about episode eight, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.440 America Decides of the Succession television program written by Jesse 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.080 Armstrong himself, and it is it's a tense one. I 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.280 think I speak for you, Rosie. Everybody on our staff 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:12.600 and every listener of the market moves Financial success audio program. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.920 When I say I hope our next presidential election is 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.200 just like that, I hope it happens exactly that way. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.960 This is the American dream. If you're in line, folks, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.280 stay in line. Bere's we're changed in the paradigm. It's 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.520 election day, Tom, just. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.960 Like the future of American democracy is a little bit 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:42.720 on edge. He's under tremendous pressure to deliver massive ratings 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:47.920 and explosion of ratings lest he loses job. You know, 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.040 this is the first post Logan election night at ATM 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:52.680 and it's. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:53.120 Got to be big. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.680 Ken knows the stakes. It's the post As we mentioned, 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.120 you know, his dad is gone. He is now the 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.760 co CEO along with Rome, and so they've got to 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.480 really make it happen. So he really puts the spurs 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.040 to Tom, telling him like it's gotta be huge, it's 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.280 got to be big. Tom in turn, is toxic and 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.560 abusive as we like to his staff. 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:16.160 We love that. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.160 We love to see efficiency, we love to see fear. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.400 We love to see lots of people fired and the 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.080 remaining employees to live in a state of constant anxiety. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.639 That's capitalism, folks, that's. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.800 What we love. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.880 And so Tom, you know, really rides them and he 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.920 tells them like, let's put the most mentally unwell people 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.240 on the air, because that's what gets the ratings, and 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:46.680 that's what are that's what our audience loves. Much more 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:52.240 experienced in terms of elections. Staff says, you know, we're 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.960 it says to Tom, hey, your foot where you're gonna 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.920 be on your feet all night, you gotta have comfortable shoes. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.960 Those shoes aren't gona be comfort. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.640 And then Tom is also worried that he's gonna have 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.280 to piss his pants, you know, like an astronaut, which 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.840 leads us to our first prompt, Rosie, when you have 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.560 to get comfortable total maximum comfort level, because you've got 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.400 to settle in for like a long drive, or you 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.200 got to be on your feet for a long period 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.560 of time. Because there's a mega mega mega important election 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.880 that's going and you are running the coverage, maybe you 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.400 won't get to get to a bathroom because if you 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.600 go to the bathroom, some malfunction will happen. Nobody will 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.760 be there to fix it. What is your go to 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.120 comfort outfit? 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:47.119 Whoo? If I'm running as I am, you know, multi 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.680 headed corporations, I'll just wear wherever I want. I'll wear 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:58.760 some Vori sweatpants. Yes, I did like. I will take 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.720 a note. I liked the when they showed different people 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.920 who worked at ATM's Feet. All of them were wearing 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.799 comfortable slippers. I will join them. I will wear shoes, 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.720 some big, cushy, expensive ug boot. I will be extremely comfortable. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.440 And then, you know what, just to add little chaos, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.080 just in case I gotta go on a zoom call, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.640 gotta fire a few hundred people over the internet, I'll 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.320 just wear like a buttoned down shirt and tie. It's 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.280 pure chaos, but I think it it does double duty. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.400 I for no. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.120 Reason at all, I'm going to echo your take and 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:40.560 say that I would wear the Viory Sunday joggers on 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.000 my pants and also on my I'd wear one on 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.719 each arm, one pair on each other. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:47.440 Oh, I love that. 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.279 I wouldn't wear like a single pair on my upper 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.640 body because then it would constrict my movement. But I'd 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.720 have one pair on each arm, the pair the normal 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.320 way on my legs, and I have another pair on 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.000 my head, and then I would just kind of wrap 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.400 maybe five or six of them around my torso to 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.200 kind of keep that covered, because I believe in modesty 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.080 and I don't want I don't want to show too 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.000 much skin, but I want to be extremely comfortable, and 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.960 I find that the Viori fabrics, again just this is 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:26.800 completely my unbiased opinion, are the most comfortable of fabrics, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.800 perhaps ever created by human hands. I think you'd have 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.679 to go to like some kind of fantasy world where 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:42.800 elves create magical garments to find a garment that is 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.640 that most comfortable as that it's really true. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:46.039 I like that. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.120 I think you could intimidate people with the amount of 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:54.080 extra legs that you had kind of flailing around your body. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.760 You could stuff them if you wanted to make it 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.000 look like you had multiple arms, some kind of goro 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.400 intimidation technique, or you could choose them to hide important 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.080 documents as you go around doing the inevitable shady things 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.000 that you would need to do. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.560 This is all all stuff that I may or may 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.600 not do. I don't want to lock myself down say 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.360 anything that could be used against me later. But I 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.320 think that's right. I think that's right. And you always 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.400 want to keep people guessing as to where your limbs are. 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:28.160 Greg uh has apparently been hanging out with Mattson, with Madson. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:34.960 He's spent the evening at some very lurid establishment, apparently 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:43.320 forcing senile older men to dance, which is so troubling it. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.800 Sounds absolutely haunting. But Greg is loving it. Because Greg 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:52.000 is moving up of the desperate succession ladder and he 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.160 he is climbing higher than some may expect. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:00.200 I gotta tell you, I agree with you, and I 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.320 think what would be the. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.880 Most surprising outcome this season? You know, you could you 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:11.280 can imagine this character, that character rising high or bottoming out, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.960 but I think truly one of the most surprised, Like 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:19.200 you know, other than Willam, Greg the egg ending up 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.680 on top somehow or or nearer the top is would 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:23.600 be so shocking. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:24.880 And I gotta tell you. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.520 It's looking likely. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.120 I feel like I. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.600 Agree, and I think it's something that from the very 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:37.240 earliest days of the historical documents that have shown us 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.200 what has occurred in the roy family. Many viewers have thought, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.160 wouldn't it be so ironic and tasty and delectable if 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.040 strange cousin greg who may or may not even really 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.480 be related to anyone and who is just absolutely useless, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.160 wouldn't it make a lot of sense for him to 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.280 end up on top? Isn't that the topsy turvy world 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.000 we live in? And I do believe that this episod 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.360 so we may be getting that I need to say 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.040 as well, like I have. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:05.760 We all know. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.400 Look, I've said I understood my shave aligned with Matson. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.960 But we learn in this episode that, as many people suspected, 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.920 myself included, Madson is a live wire. He does not care. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.720 He will tell Gregory Peggory some important, very secret information 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.680 that will end up causing a big problem, and he 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.640 doesn't even care. He'll do it while he's dancing with 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.400 a sexy old see no man. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:38.239 Oh gosh. Exit polls suggest that while it is uncomfortably 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.280 close for those of you who you know wouldn't want 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.080 a fascist president. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.240 Yeah you know that small minority. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.720 Right, that it looks as if Jimenez and Evis are 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:57.079 gonna take the nights are looking good. Uh, It's important 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.360 we learn that the ATN folks in the know who 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.880 know about poll numbers not leak that or even hint 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.840 at it on air because they could lose their election 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.280 certification something or other. And also it would be seen 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.400 as an attempt to swing the election for a candidate. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.439 And I gotta tell you, you. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:17.440 Don't want to be seen doing that. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.160 You do not want to be seen doing that. But 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.960 my favorite thing about this information that they are guided 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.319 with is that it then becomes essentially a battle plan 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.320 of how they can do just that. And it is 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.880 impeccable that they took the advice, and we're like, that 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.199 sounds great, let's do it. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:39.000 Shiv is of course pulling for Jimenez while Roman is 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:45.600 marching and ce kaling for Herminken HIV facetimes Lucas. She's 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.240 still they're still working together. Of course, as we just mentioned, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.720 she wants Lucas to release a statement about the Indian numbers, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.840 to get in front of that news, you know, and 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.360 this is a great time to do it because the 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.560 nation is going to be absolutely entranced by the election. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.640 And the results of the election. This is the time 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.240 to just news dump news, dump news, dump news dump. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.560 Lucas drops that he has uh, you know, been discussing 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.160 India with his team, and also. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.560 You know Gleig. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.440 Yeah, Cash just casually laying the biggest snake in the wild, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.679 the most power hungry wild person. Just let him know 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.880 in a club. But there was definitely plenty of other 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.920 people who could have over heard. And that's not the if. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.560 If they if they were not hard of hearing, as 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.880 this older gentleman may have been. You know, I think 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:39.040 when you are clutching an older man who doesn't want 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.960 to dance to your chest and making him dance, uh, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.679 he's probably not listening to f Yeah, someone is not 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.280 going to be on the business details that are kind 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.520 of moving back and forth. Shiv is of course alarmed 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.240 by this, like what. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:54.320 The fuck are you talking to? 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.599 We talked to great. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.840 Uh, And Lucas is basically just like, hey, here's a picture. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:07.280 What about we just never say anything about the numbers. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:11.320 Prompt number two, Rosie, that's the best day to release 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:12.280 bad news. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.680 The best day to release bad news. And I say 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.400 this as many years as a journalist and the enertiment business. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.760 I will tell you the best day to release bad 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.120 news is at like five pm on a Friday night. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.720 That's the plan, baby, that's what you've got to do. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.720 If you see a studio announce some news right then oooh, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.600 they do not want you to see it now. Obviously, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.880 twenty four our news cycle, internet news cycle is kind 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.720 of different, but that is generally the best rule. Of course, 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:41.080 Shiv is absolutely right here. It's also great to release 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.280 it within a very busy twenty four our news cycle. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.600 Matson is very unlikely to become the main character of 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.320 the news here. Nobody's gonna carey, oh, some fluffed up 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.400 numbers like that's just that's normal.

Nate is very, very nervous, but he's 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.720 also feeling hopeful. You know, because of the exit polls, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.320 we learned that a future him and his administration would 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.600 not have an issue with the Gojo deal. They just 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.800 basically rubber stamp it and let it go, and we 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:57.080 love that for business.

Someone is attacking voting 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.200 offices where they are counting mail in ballots and that 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.320 what they thought was an electrical fire is actually looks 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.920 like it was vandalism. And she's like, yeah, yeah, of course, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.120 of course, we're definitely gotta gotta cover that. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.200 Well, you know, what is fire? Who are people? 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.280 It's just salomons? 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.840 What what is it? What is a person? Uh? 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.120 How does a person set a fire? Could it be 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.400 an accident? Could Uh, you know, what is a flannel 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.120 of material? These are all questions that we could ask, uh, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.440 and we will ask, and we'll be asked over the 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.560 course of this episode. Any question, but who set this fire? 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.000 I think it's important to ask. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.640 Very important my question no one needs to know. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.120 Ken takes a call from his ex wife Ravah. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.120 She is panicked, of course. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:08.600 Uh. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.840 In last episode, we learned that Ken and Roba's daughter, Sophie, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:19.560 who is Indian I believe, was pushed by a raven 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.520 head person or a Manken person and they made some 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.880 sort of uh, you know, kind of like racist uttering, 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.320 and so they're already on edge and now there's this 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.160 SUV following them, and Ken is like, oh, that's sorry, 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.720 that's mine. Sorry I put I put private security on 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.200 you and I didn't. I'm sorry I didn't. I should 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.560 have told you, but I didn't mention it. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.560 Ps Uh. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.400 You know I everything I do, including secretly putting armed 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.720 men on your tail, is because I love you, and 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.280 you know, we're working on making a kinder, gentler world 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.960 for you, my my beautiful daughter Sophie, who I love 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:02.760 very much. Maybe we'll see Ken then calls Nate to 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.159 get on the line with Candidate Jimenez, and he's like, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:14.200 you know, hey, Dan Jimenez, when you win, maybe you 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.080 should look at tech for no apparently no reason. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.320 Yeah, no reason at all. You know that definitely not 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.960 because you should look at it to kill the Gojo deal, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.600 Like say, no reason, Just just look at it, Dodgy. 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.320 It's bad, bad things, that huge force, huge force in 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.800 our world, and maybe you should look at it. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:29.400 Prop Number three. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.119 I believe, although I may be wrong, that this is 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.760 the first time that we see candidate Jimenez, certainly this season. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.560 So this leads me to my next prompt. This is fiction, 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.960 of course, work of fiction, this show that we take 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.359 very seriously. So seriously we've modeled an entire fake show 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.760 after this show. The minimum age for to be president 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.320 is thirty five. But let me ask you this is 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.480 it realistic to elect someone for president who is not 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.440 eighty nine years old? 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.080 Rosie? That is the prompt. Look, come on, you got 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.640 to be eighty nine to ninety ninety one, high eighties 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.159 at least president. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.880 It is part of the American rule, the American law. 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.760 I think in the Constitution it says you've got to 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.720 be like ten years away from dying or you can't 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.960 be the president. Right. That's like, that's a big part 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.680 of the American rulebook. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:25.160 Because you don't want anybody in there who hasn't lived 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.280 a full and I mean full, like right to the edge, 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.399 life like right to the end that candles all the 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.679 way down. You don't want them thinking about just life 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.359 stuff because they've done it. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.120 They've done it. They're not going to be distracted. They've 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.879 spent many life, they've lived through multiple depressions. They have 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.280 played and manipulated the markets through those depressions and made 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:53.240 very very, very large amounts of money. And now they're successful. 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.400 They're in their eighties, they're out here, they're being presidents. 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.679 They're not showing up for votes. 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.200 You know, high is they're all, okay, what's your ideal 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.679 age for a president? President elect? 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.000 One hundred and two? 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:08.440 I like it. 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.240 I also life experience, lived a century. They remember before 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.359 these things existed, like tech. They can go up against tech. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.119 They say, what's tech? They don't have Facebook. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.440 I'm going to say, with no cybernetic enhancements, no kind 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.080 of cryo tubes, just like a raw dogging life, a 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:31.320 human being that just lived, uh, you know, without any 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:38.760 kind of uh special medical technology things to keep them going. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.920 I'm gonna say, yeah about one hundred, like one o two, 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.640 one oh three. 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.359 I think so. I think that's the sweet sport. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.080 That's what everybody wants, so that you can get out 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.959 of your second term by like one o eight one 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.120 oh nine and then quietly pass away, you know, happily. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.879 Rome heads to the Menken lif to meet with the 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:07.160 Menca Nights. Jared MANCN is pissed that Rome wasn't able 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.040 to deliver Connor dropping out of the race, and mancan 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.080 tells Roman that, you know what, it looks like we're 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:13.719 gonna lose to Night. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:15.240 But I like it. I want to lose. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:16.560 I'm very focusbut on losing. 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.600 I'm very focused on losing. I think losing is winning. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:25.360 I think the new winning is losing because when I lose, 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:31.200 I can throw just dirt on the entire process and say, hey, 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.320 look how rid this entire processes, and that will set 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.119 me up to win the next time around. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.440 Yeah. He wants to destabilize the American government and economy 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.960 so that he can take it when it's vulnerable. Very 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.000 historical precedent for that, don't google who's done that? In 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.080 the past. You don't need to do that, but it 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.960 has been done. It has been done. And I will 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:54.399 say this is a scene that introduces one of the 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.280 best word word uses this episode that will continue to go. 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.080 He wants Roman to help him with the narrative, and 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.760 you will now hear the word narrative come up in 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:08.879 every other sentence. Everybody is worried about the narrative. Jared's 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.399 dream narrative is that he was maligned and oppressed and 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.760 pushed to the side because he was the real working 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:20.160 man's candidate. But obviously that narrative could change, and atn sadly, 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.640 well gladly depending where your stocks are. For everyone has 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.520 a big handle on shaping that narrative. As we will see. 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.199 Back at at and Headquarters, Greg is asking Tom, you know, 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.879 important questions about his role with the company going forward, 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:36.560 and Tom. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:37.880 Is like, where's my fucking coffee? 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:38.440 Greg? 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.120 And Greg is like, hey, man, I just fired three 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:42.840 hundred people. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.280 I don't do coffee anymore. 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.200 It was yeah, it was either one hundred people in 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.320 three days or three hundred people in a day, whatever 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:48.960 the case may be. 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:50.320 I don't do coffee anymore. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:57.960 And Tom makes a very measured statement, a very measured response. 0:21:57.680 --> 0:21:59.920 Very realistic, relatable. Yes. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.359 When he says, listen, if you don't get my coffee, 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.120 it's gonna be chaos, and that chaos is gonna spread, 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.520 and that and China's going to invade Taiwan and that 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.320 means world War three and that means the nukes are 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.760 gonna fly, and that means the end of all complex 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:20.480 life on Earth, And like, do you want to be 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.440
