Today's number, 40,000. That's how many bottles of wine are in Joseph Stalin's wine vault, which the Georgian government unsealed for the first time last month. I don't know if you heard, but an alien race of women have been abducting men with especially large dicks. So you're safe.
And also this spaceship is just fucking amazing.
Ed, I couldn't find a joke about Stalin that wasn't really, really bad.
**Ed Elson** (2:47)
Yeah, I can imagine.
**Scott Galloway** (2:48)
Really bad.
**Ed Elson** (2:49)
You found your way to aliens and dick size, which is always a good combination. I thought it was good.
**Scott Galloway** (2:55)
I think it works.
**Ed Elson** (2:56)
A little ribbing of the co-host, nothing wrong with that. That's what they come here for.
**Scott Galloway** (3:00)
My love language is giving people a hard time and then giving them money.
**Ed Elson** (3:04)
That's true. That's true.
**Scott Galloway** (3:06)
How are you, Ed?
**Ed Elson** (3:06)
I'm doing well. You're in Sweden, I understand.
**Scott Galloway** (3:09)
I'm in Stockholm, which has not participated in a war in 200 years. That's why it's such a beautiful city. Something happens when you avoid the most wealth-destroying events in history. You avoid wars.
It is beautiful. I can see you living here. You look like you'd fit in here. You look very Swedish.
**Ed Elson** (3:27)
A hundred percent. Yeah, I was there a couple of years ago for a speaking gig and I just loved it there. It was beautiful.
**Scott Galloway** (3:32)
It really is nice. Yeah.
**Ed Elson** (3:34)
Is it hot?
**Scott Galloway** (3:35)
No, it's like 60, 65 degrees. What it is, it's light. It's basically never gets really, it kind of feels like from 11 PM to 4 AM, it just feels like dusk. It's a little weird. I think I'm a little bit manic and now I'm crashing.
Wrong day to give up meth, Ed. Wrong day to give up meth.
**Ed Elson** (3:54)
Well, you're missing some incredible vibes here in New York.
**Scott Galloway** (3:59)
I bet.
**Ed Elson** (3:59)
I heard. Unbelievable. We're recording this before game five. Who knows what will happen by the time this episode goes out.
But vibes are electric here. This is a whole nother reason to be in New York. It's just unbelievable. If we continue this, if the Knicks continue to be as dominant as they appear to be, I really think that this just changes the meaning of summers in New York. I mean, this is like everyone on the streets, on a random Wednesday night until two in the morning. You can either be upset about that or you can love it. But the point is, I mean, this city is on fire right now and it's all because of the Knicks. So you're missing out.
