I don't want to hear about your erections. Can you move along, please? Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher.
And I'm Scott Galloway.
Scott, how you doing? I finally finished my move.
Oh, congratulations.
Oh, Scott, it's like, oh, I feel like so in need of not moving anymore ever again.
