Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway.

And I'm Jessica Tarlev.

Just what's going on at the five? What's going on there?

Well, a lot is going on, but what was not going on with me on Friday was I was supposed to be on the five.

And I couldn't go in because I had such a bad allergic reaction to something that half of my lip swelled up.

Do you remember the movie Hitch with Will Smith, where he did the Sirono de Bergerac, like feeding guys, good lines to get girls thing?

I feel like such an elder millennial that's like 20 years ago.

Anyway, his face explodes.

No, don't tell me in case someone... Well, I think maybe

a lip bomb that I used that had papaya in it. It's unclear. I'm on steroids, which is the greatest

invention. Maybe I guess penicillin's better, but steroids are really good. But anyway, I sent a picture of my

face at 630 in the morning to the producer who wrote back, like, we will not be seeing you today. But besides that, on the five, you know, we talked about Mark Robinson a lot. I know we're going to talk about that later in the episode. What's happening generally, though, with the show like that as a run-up to election? Is it just like a ratings bonanza and people are all over it? Is this kind of your

sweet? Is this the playoffs for you guys? It is definitely the playoffs. The ratings still hang around

three million. We have a very, you know, tried and true audience. But we saw Big Spike, Greg Gottfeld,

co-host on the five, had Trump on his show, Gottfeld exclamation point for the whole hour. And I think that got like five million viewers. So people are definitely flocking in for election coverage. Talk about the interview. What was the least crazy and the craziest things he said? Honestly, it was very low on the insanity. I think because he was calm, he was amongst

people who like him. And what was really great for the audience, so Greg's show, nighttime show,

is in front of a live audience. And they didn't know that Trump was the guest. So they showed up for

a regular episode and thought maybe they'd see Brian Kilmead, who hosts Fox and Friends, and they got

an hour of Donald Trump. She's somehow a woman. Somehow she's doing better than he did. Yeah.

But I can't imagine it can last.

And he talked about everything from all the old shows that he used to do,

like going on Johnny Carson and Howard Stern, to some stuff about the campaign.
