Who is the guest co-host on this episode?
He also wore a cheese head at one point. He didn't look bad in the cheese head, I'll be honest with you. Most people don't look good in cheese heads, so I guess that's a pro. Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine, the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher. Scott is off today, and in his place, I got someone much more superior. I brought in Jen Psaki, the host of MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki, who also has a new podcast, The Blueprint, which is excellent. I recommend everyone to listen to it. We're doing a little crossover event because I was on her show this weekend. She promised to bring dirty jokes in Scott's absence on the show.
Welcome, Jen. I mean, Cara, first of all, as a listener, as I told you yesterday, I was like, I have to bring inappropriate jokes and inappropriate things to be said. But I don't know. I don't know that that's my vibe. I'm just trying to be my authentic self.
Do you have any? Do you have a dirty joke that you promised on the air last night?
I really don't, but maybe the conversation will bring me around to it. Okay. Maybe it'll bring me around to it. Feel free to. I'll feel free to say inappropriate things. I feel freed. I feel freed on your podcast. All right.
I mean, we've got a lot to get to today, but like, how is it going there? Now, explain what you're doing. You're doing 103 shows for MSNBC. Is that correct? Or what's the... Approximately.
What's the pitch? Well, right now I'm doing a show on Sundays. I'm doing a show on Mondays. They're a little different because Sundays, which you were on yesterday, it's a different thing. People are sitting down with their coffee. They want big picture. That's what we try to do. And Mondays is just what the hell just happened today. So it's a little bit different. I have a podcast called The Blueprint. Explain what The Blueprint, why it's called The Blueprint. You and I talked about this name. I mean, the blueprint was it was my form of therapy. I don't know if you find podcasting to be therapeutic, but for me, it was after the election. And I like many people, I was like, what the hell just happened?
I wasn't shocked, but I just felt like so many things were missed, including by me and so many things I got wrong. And I so for me, my therapy was making a list of people who I felt would be Candid, say what they actually thought, not pretend like they know all the answers because no one does. I made kind of a list. I like write everything on note cards. I'm like an old lady.
