• 1:09
  Speaker 1: range from two hundred and eighty eight thousand and three
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six thousand, nine hundred and eighty with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: an average base salary of three hundred and thirty one thousand,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighties probably way more, but that's what
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Google says. Basically, it's a great job. Many humans on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this planet would love to make that kind of money,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And because of what people are perceiving as Tony's poor
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: choice of words, there is now a job opening at Apple. See.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Tony was approached by TikTok an Ig creator Daniel Mack,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: who is known for asking people in fancy cars what
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they do for a living, and Tony was driving a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Think I pronounced that right, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I believe is considered a fancy car. En vu the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: car guy that a fancy ride? A Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Yes,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it was only made a couple of years. And that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the only uh collaboration at Mercedes and McLaren di together.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It's called SLR The doors go up. You see myself
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: collaboration with McDonald's. It just makes sense to McDonald's. The
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: McLaren no, m okay, well I know nothing about it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't go chasing luxury cars. I stick to the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: civics and the cameras I'm used to, all right, But
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: he was in one of those fantasy cards, the Mercedes
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Benz SLR McLaren, and he got approached by this big
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: TikTok creator Daniel Mack, and this happened. Good sir, your
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: cards awesome. What do you do for a living big
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: breasted women? But I think weekends and major holidays off.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Oh gay, that is quite the career. I'm looking to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get into that. So you're interested. I got a hell
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of adental plan. Oh god, do you do it all?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You do it all, and you participate in this activity.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Well, I guess finding big breasted
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: women is what he calls for. Kerman. Now, what's interesting
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: about that is it was simply unnecessared. There. You are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a senior executive at Apple. You get paid for helping
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to precur apples, not melons, which is what I find
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: hilarious about that video. You didn't talk about apples at all,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but you win, right, the coconuts, the melons, the grapefruits,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the watermelons, depending on if they got scratch marks in that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And needless to say, Apple didn't like it. Let's go
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to Bloomberg for the report. Please. Today we reported that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Tony Blevins, Apple's longtime vice president of Piccurement, been at
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the company for about twenty two years or so. He
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is leaving the company after he appeared in a very
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: viral video that aired earlier this month on Instagram and TikTok,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and in the video he made some crude comments. This
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is a TikTok and Instagram account by a creator named
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Daniel Mack. He goes up to people at car shows
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills elsewhere in the world, goes up to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: people and asks them, if they're driving a fairly expensive car,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what they do for a living. And Blevin's response was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: clearly not in line with what Apple felt was acceptable,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: leading to his departure now from the company. Now, I'm
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: will be honest. This is where breakfast Club court comes in.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And this is where I need to ask you to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: listen as if he should get the biggest he haught
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: because I don't think he should have to step down.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think he should be fight Because y'all may
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: not know, but he was quoting the movie, and the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: movie was a film called Arthur and Arthur was a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one film in which Dudley Moore plays a wealthy,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: alcoholic playboy in search of love, and when asked what
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: he does for a living, this is what author replied with,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I am my own busted. Dudley Moore is Arthur So
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Tony Blevins was trying to be funny. He's just old.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I get it. He's old.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Dude runs up on him from TikTok and I g
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he wants to seem cool, so he quotes Dudley Moore,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: an author. But what you don't realize, Tony, is that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: when you older, what we find funny, what wasn't offensive
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to us in our generation and our entertainment is offensive
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to this generation. So should this man be punished because
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this generation doesn't know he's making a joke, doesn't know
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: he's quoting a movie. You know, all they know is
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that he's an Apple executive and he went on TikTok
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and he went viral, and everybody's making this thing, making
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a stink out of this thing because he quoted a movie.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Should he be fired? Should he be forced to step
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: down for this? I personally don't think so. But the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: card is open. Let's discuss, all right, eight hundred five
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one. Let's have this the conversation.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club, Goal morning, the breakfast Club
