You took an HR course?

Scott Galloway (1:42)

Well, I was forced to after the settlement.

Kara Swisher (1:47)

Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher.

Scott Galloway (1:52)

I'm Scott Galloway.

Kara Swisher (1:53)

Scott. I had the best weekend. Clara turned seven and we had a witch birthday party.

Scott Galloway (1:58)

Really? Yes. That's exciting. God, she's seven.

SPEAKER_1 (2:00)

She's seven. That's crazy.

Kara Swisher (2:01)

It was such a good birthday party.

SPEAKER_1 (2:03)

Yeah.

Kara Swisher (2:03)

It was so good. Yeah, a lot of girls. Yeah, she had a mixed group of people. It was really fun. Amanda, of course, baked a cake. I jokingly called her trad wife and all the other parents stared at me.

It was a joke. She baked a delicious cake.

Scott Galloway (2:19)

That's nice.

Kara Swisher (2:19)

Yeah, it's really nice. I can't believe how old she is. Honestly, it's crazy.

Scott Galloway (2:23)

Amanda is younger than you. Yes.

SPEAKER_4 (2:25)

Claire.

Scott Galloway (2:28)

Number three are going to go really young.

Kara Swisher (2:31)

I am not remarrying again. I really love Amanda Katz.

Scott Galloway (2:34)

You know why men marry women much younger than them?

Kara Swisher (2:36)

Why?

Scott Galloway (2:37)

Because they can, Kara.

Kara Swisher (2:39)

Very funny. You're still in Los Angeles wandering around malls, I see.

Scott Galloway (2:44)

I am. That's how bored I got. I went to the Century City Mall.

Kara Swisher (2:47)

That is like dystopian.

Scott Galloway (2:49)

It's nice.

Kara Swisher (2:50)

It is. The mall is nice. Century City is. That's where they filmed one of the last Plan of the Apes. I don't know if you know that. Oh my God.

Scott Galloway (2:57)

That goes way back. They filmed it right outside of the Schubert Theater, where I saw a chorus line in Beetlemania with my mom.

Kara Swisher (3:04)

Beetlemania. I saw Beetlemania.

Scott Galloway (3:07)

We used to go, this is like the 70s. We used to go wait in line for tickets where people didn't show up, and occasionally you could get like a fourth-row ticket for like eight bucks. I'd go with my mom to see plays at the Schubert Theater.

Kara Swisher (3:19)

Beetlemania. Wow.

Scott Galloway (3:21)

Yeah.

Kara Swisher (3:22)

Anyway, so you're wandering around a mall. I was like, what is he doing?

Scott Galloway (3:27)

I have been so cooped up, and then I walked over to the Century City Mall, and I loved it. I walked around, and I did this great review of all the retailers. I'm like, Macy's, sometimes it's darkest before it's pitch black. My favorite new brands, James Purse, Buck Mason.

Kara Swisher (3:41)

James Purse is nice. You have a lot of James Purse stuff that I've stolen. I know that.

Scott Galloway (3:46)

Do you? Yeah, those are my go-tos. Did I just say that?

Kara Swisher (3:48)

Yeah. They're really nice.

Yeah. I bet you were, when you were in the mall, do you remember Spencer's Gifts? I put that in the little-

Scott Galloway (3:54)

Spencer's Gifts? Do you remember Spencer's? No, I'm not 110

Kara Swisher (3:57)

Well, come on. We're the same age, Scott. We're essentially the same age.

Scott Galloway (4:00)

Kara, you are much older than me.
