1:40.0

And I'm Scott Galloway.

1:42.0

Oh, you sound quiet today, isn't it? Lovely weather in London today. I have landed on my weather app just so I know how you're doing every day.

1:49.0

I think we feel nice. Yeah, it's a bomby 60 degrees here. Yeah, yeah, it's nice. So it's sunny and beautiful. It gets pretty cold in the dark and the winter. It's nice. You're getting so much sun.

1:59.0

But but first off, the important tuning of some horns on with Karras Swisher is the number one pod in news commentary. And more importantly, Scott's book Adrift debuted at number seven on the New York Times bestseller list, hardcover nonfiction.

2:16.0

Really, I did not know that care. I don't fall into trappings. How close I didn't know I was the number one pod in news come to until you told me, but thank you for talking to that.

2:29.0

3:23.0

It's almost like I think it's more basic than that. I think and I think the I think traditional media outside of Fox. People looking for that content. I can't find it as readily as people on the far left can find it on television.

3:36.0
