JP Morgan announced a new rule limiting junior investment bankers to 80 hours per week, and MSNBC has a new idea that could change the way we all work if you re a pirate on a pirate ship. Today's episode is a little shorter than usual, but that's what happens when the country is in a weird mental state, and what you need is a swaddle blanket of comfort.
00:00:00.000yeah I'm early I'm early I'll tell you about that in a minute well we don't
00:00:09.660know how many people are gonna join us in this new earlier shorter version of
00:00:13.860the show but 11 of us so far you're the ones I call the high achievers mmm get
00:00:26.240in here will you let's figure out how this day is gonna go we can have some
00:00:31.940fun all right I've got a little scheduling overlap today so I'm doing
00:00:39.380the show earlier and shorter but I didn't want to miss out I didn't want you
00:00:44.220to wake up and say where's my simultaneous sip which for many of you
00:00:48.620might be recorded but I hope you figure it out and come here and make
00:00:56.220it all work because I take some responsibility for having developed a
00:01:02.160simultaneous sip habit in you I feel like I have to deliver every single day so
00:01:08.940here I am and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can
00:01:15.180even understand well all you need for that is a cup or mug or glass a tanker
00:01:20.820chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your
00:01:24.420favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the
00:01:29.100dopamine to the day thing makes everything better it's called the
00:01:33.120simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:01:39.360oh when I say I needed that oh my goodness
00:01:47.040well I've got the swaddling blanket of comfort on me today because it seems to me that the country is in a weird mental state and what you need is well me you need me you need to snap you out of this bad mental state it looks like there's doom coming from every direction and the elections look iffy yeah we'll fix all that I've got an idea to fix all of it
00:02:15.040actually really so although today's story will be short you're about to see the best idea ever just wait for that well JP Morgan announced that they're gonna put a limit on junior investment bankers hours so if you're a junior investment banker at JP Morgan they will no longer let you work more than 80 hours per week no matter how much you want to
00:02:45.040what who works 80 hours a week unless it's their own company well you can make millions as an investment banker if you do everything right but it looks like there's a lot of competition for those jobs and so the question I ask myself is if I can see a time sheet for that entire 80 hours how much of that time are you like just really kicking out the work
00:03:10.040because you know recently I got some attention for having a good work ethic because I like to show up every day and I'm not big on vacations I like to work every day but even I don't work 80 hours a week 80 hours a week do you have any idea what that would do to you I mean there's a report of somebody dying from overwork and in Japan you hear about it all the time but there's no good reason to make
00:03:40.020make somebody work 80 hours a week there's no way that that extra 10 hours or 20 hours at the end is your good time I you would have to have all kinds of breaks and I don't know you're gonna have to have an affair with your co-workers to make that all work so that's a pretty broken system meanwhile MSNBC has decided to spend some considerable time
00:04:10.020what a terrible person what a terrible person Laura Loomer is Laura Loomer is Laura Loomer is a if you've not heard that name she's associated with the right and she is I guess I would say an independent researcher journalist and she's broken some good scoops so she's she's got some serious credibility in terms of scoops but she's also controversial and it's not my job to defend anything that anybody else said so you should hear this first
00:04:40.000I'm not defending anything that anybody else said but do I need to why would that why would that be my job no I'm on a pirate ship all right I signed up to be on a pirate ship if they let another pirate on the pirate ship you know what I'm not gonna do I'd like to examine your past statements for acceptability
00:05:10.000and I don't give a rat's ass what what what anybody ever said to offend you do I agree with everything ever said by RFK junior I doubt it I mean I can't think of a specific example but I doubt it do I think he shouldn't be on the pirate ship no I think he should be very much on the pirate ship I want to be on the same ship as him
00:05:33.200so Laura Loomer is very effective and they wouldn't be talking about her unless she had made a big dent in the universe and if you're a pirate who can make a big dent in the universe and you want Trump to win because I think is vital to the survival of the United States and that's the kind of pirate I don't mind associating with but it's kind of funny because
00:05:55.760we've entered this weird political mode where we're trying to take people down by who they associate with and then it's kind of a contest it's like MSNBC says all right all right we're gonna say that Trump is associating with us this horrible racist they would say Laura Loomer and of course that's weird because MSNBC is the most famously corrupt and racist organization
