0:00.0	Today, we'll discuss the service staff shortage in America and how it's affecting your experience at your favorite restaurant.
0:06.7	We've also received a record number of voicemails about cell phones in schools, so we've invited on an expert to help answer your questions.
0:13.7	And we'll also tackle new data about how companies are adapting to AI.
0:18.2	Is your company a winner or a loser?
0:24.1	Do you even know? All of this and more on The Lost Debate Show, a show for Political Ecclectics.
0:33.3	Hello, everybody. I'm Robbie Gupta. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. Well, Ricky, I'm fresh from Austin, Texas to Jackson, Mississippi, to Clarksdale, Mississippi, to Oxford, Mississippi, to Memphis, Tennessee.
0:45.3	And my Man of the People tour has concluded it on back in Brooklyn, New York.
0:49.4	I will not dig at the Man of the People label, but I, I pristle at that.
0:54.0	But I'm in Nantucket right now and doing my own little jet setting. Look at you. I'm not claiming to be of the people on Nantucket.

1:23.2	just mean an MMA fighting. And Zuckerberg responded by posting a screenshot of Musk's tweet with the caption, quote,
1:29.5	Send Me location.
1:30.9	Musk's then replied with Vegas Octagon.
1:34.1	These two have bad blood allegedly going back to 2016 when the Space X rocket carrying a Facebook-owned satellite failed.
1:41.4	And obviously, Musk's acquisition of Twitter means that they're both competitors.
1:46.9	They also have very different styles. I would say Musk generally says whatever is on his mind.
1:51.0	And Zuckerberg seems to be a little bit more cautious with his public persona.
1:58.4	Yeah, this is, I'm glad to see him respond with a little bit of humor, which feels very
2:03.7	uncharacteristic.
2:04.9	Semi-location is kind of, it's a little witty for him.
2:08.1	I feel like I see him mostly as an alien, but I'm putting my money on Musk.
