Chapter 1: What explains Scott's recent absence?
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world flock to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. And they spend a week trying to sell each other on the weirdest gadgets you've ever seen in your entire life. This week on The Verge Cast, we're talking all about everything happening at CES.
From the TVs, to the AI gadgets, to the humanoid robots that everybody is hoping might someday do your laundry and wash your dishes. All that and much more on The Verge Cast, wherever you get podcasts.
The bottom line is, if I have fucking money, I want to fuck you face.
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher, and guess who's back, back again.
It's Adi Cornish.

Chapter 2: How is the DOJ investigating Fed Chair Jerome Powell?
She's good. You know what I learned from her? What? She said something. She had the best line of any guest host. She said, you asked her for advice on the economy or asked her for input. And she said, no, this isn't my area. I'm here to learn.
Yeah.
I sent her a note saying, I took real notes from that because I have yet to find the confidence to actually say that I don't know and that everything doesn't demand my judgment.
Chapter 3: What are Trump's plans for Venezuela's oil investments?
Anyways, Adi Cornish gets co-host or gets substitute host of the week. How are you, Cara? Did you miss me?
I did. I need you to explain where you've been to people, sir.
Well, Cara, I was presented with an opportunity to bring potable water to the good people of Sub-Saharan Africa.
No, try again.
Which is Latin for, I have had cosmetic surgery, Carol. And essentially, I just wanted to look natural. And I guess if looking natural means looking like you're surprised all the fucking time and your nose looks like a minivan from the 80s,

Chapter 4: How does the proposed wealth tax affect California billionaires?
We've achieved that, Kara. We have liftoff. So the camera is off. Sorry, folks. I'm confident enough to be transparent. I'm not confident enough for the comments that we would receive right now.
I have seen the pictures. Scott kindly sent me a picture. And at first I was like, oh, come on, how bad could it be? And then I'm like, oh, no.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's pressure on oil executives?
And there was no response. You usually respond within like 10 seconds with something really crisp and funny or supportive. People don't notice about you. You're actually, you're a very loving, kind friend. People don't get that vibe. And you were just silent for 15 minutes. And I'm like, is she going to respond?
Anything? Oh, you're off the tramadol by then.
I told my doctor, I said, I wanted to look, people have compared me to Ryan Reynolds' older brother.
Chapter 6: How does the Fed's independence relate to political pressure?
And I'm like, that's the look I'm going for. And I do look like him, but I look like his grandfather after he's gone into witness protection from literally trying to flee narco terrorists and has had bad cosmetic surgery. And In Brazil.
This is good. I hope it's good. We're going to see what it is. But when you have the big reveal or something like that. I love you to actually talk about it because men don't talk. Most people don't talk about their plastic surgery or whatever.
Chapter 7: What are the potential impacts of California's wealth tax?
And there's been a huge boom in men doing this.
Huge. It's the fastest growing part of the market.
Yeah, explain why you did it. I have never had plastic surgery. I do not judge it. A lot of people I know have it. A lot of blephs, that's what they keep saying, the word bleph to me.
That's what I had.
I had blephs.

Chapter 8: What insights do the hosts share about the future of the economy?
My mother had it. Tell me. It's mostly women. I don't know a lot. I mean, I do know some VCs who have gotten it, and I can't say this was many years ago it worked well.
I am glad to be back with these questions. Mm-hmm. Masquerading as virtue signal. What is this not being able to make a shit ton of money because you're not so fucking talented thing that people complain about? You are so going under the knife. Give me a fucking break. I am not. By the way, you were asking me questions.
I never will. Never, never.
Well, anyways, the honest answer, Cara, after having a lot of Xanax and opiates to think about it, is I cannot, for the life of me, figuring out the fucking hole I am trying to fill here. I think it comes from a lot of places. I was very insecure about my looks growing up, as I think was probably natural for a teenager. And then in my 20s and 30s, when I put on some weight...
and we've talked about this and my skin cleared up, I then got a lot of confidence from my looks. And I really liked that part of the program. And also I think in a little bit of my business, I have felt, I don't wanna call it ageism, but I've been really cognizant of my age recently. A lot of people online are referencing my age to criticize me, like, what does this guy know?
And also I think just more practically, I've been on TV a lot because of the book tour, and I've just noticed the dark circles under my eyes. And also, to a strange extent, I'm kind of interested in the technology. Oh, all right. And also, the bottom line is, if I have fucking money, I want to fuck your face.
Yeah, okay. You said something really interesting. You said it's mediation, not renovation. Although, these doctors are very convincing, right? You weren't going to do as much as you did, or were you? No.
Well, I mean, it's very easy to get, I was going to just do my, I was just going to do my eyes. I didn't do a lot, but you add on stuff because- Can you explain what the eyes is? It clears up- Well, the circles around your eyes. You have dark circles on your eyes as you get older.
Or hooded, when people have hooded-
