**Kara Swisher** (1:35)
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher, and once again, it's time for Scott-Free August.
That's right. Scott-Free August is well underway. For my guest co-host today, I brought in another one of Scott Galloway's heroes, comedian, television host, seven-time New York Times best-selling author, Chelsea Handler.
**Chelsea Handler** (2:02)
Kara, it's so nice to be with you. I have to tell you how much comfort you guys have provided me during this administration and yeah, I just love tuning in. I love how reasonable you are.
I love how you are able to insult people but remain on good terms with them.
**Kara Swisher** (2:23)
Some of them. Not all of them.
**Chelsea Handler** (2:25)
I love your pragmatism and I just really appreciate having a safe space to tune into when I really feel distress. Because you always seem to feel like there's a sense of optimism, and I think that's because you have young children, so you have to be optimist.
**Kara Swisher** (2:43)
I have to be. I absolutely have to be. I actually am. I actually am. I'm a student of history, so I know that all things come to an end. Does this apply to Scott too?
**Chelsea Handler** (2:54)
No, I love Scott. I have a very soft spot for Scott. While Scott can be slightly, what's the word?
**Kara Swisher** (3:02)
What is the word?
**Chelsea Handler** (3:03)
What is the word? It's a brotherly kind of feeling I get from him when you want him to stop it, as you do quite often on the podcast.
**SPEAKER_7** (3:11)
Yeah, don't be such a nitwit.
**Chelsea Handler** (3:13)
It can be sometimes he can have this sense of this irritation, but then the minute he's gone, you miss him. He says things and you're like, okay, come on, stop it already. You're feeling yourself. We get it. But then when he's gone, immediately you're like, I want Scott back.
**Kara Swisher** (3:27)
Yes, that's true. Also, just for people to know, Chelsea always texts me anytime Scott says a word she doesn't like. What is the word you hate the most?
**Chelsea Handler** (3:36)
When people are super educated and they use terms like anyways, I find that to be problematic. I find it to be lazy way of speaking.
**Kara Swisher** (3:49)
Yeah, you don't like anyways.
**Chelsea Handler** (3:51)
Anyways is just so lazy.
Anyway is actually lazy. You don't need to just move on to the next topic. You don't even have to say anyway as a clause or whatever it is. But yeah, I find some words, when he says that I just always because Scott is so smart and I look up to him and literally and figuratively, so it's disappointing when he uses it so often and frequently. Thank you for letting your audience know how I feel.
**Kara Swisher** (4:18)
Well, I like grammar people. I do enjoy all your grammatical corrections and words.
**Chelsea Handler** (4:22)
No, I'm not always right, but I am a grammarian. I really love language and I love etymology, and I love understanding words and how to use them properly. I'm learning Spanish right now, so I'm on a whole new trajectory of learning words and that. So yeah, I respect people who really respect language because we're losing it. What is the word that you have an issue that he uses, mendacious?
