Matt Buchel 0:01
Hey, I'm Matt Buchel, comedian, writer, and floating head you may or may not have seen on your FYP, and I'm starting a brand new podcast. Wait, don't swipe away. It's called That Sounds Like a Lot. You know that feeling when you check your phone, read a few headlines, and think, that sounds like a lot. I can't do this. Well, I can, and I'm going to get into it every Friday. You can watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. I'm going to start by breaking down whatever insanity is happening in the world, and then I'll sit down with a comedian or actor or writer or, honestly, anyone who responds to my DMs.

How did Anthropic's meeting with the White House go?

Scott Galloway 1:54
Hey, Scott. I just flew in from San Francisco and boy, are my arms tired.
Unknown 1:59
Yeah, I've heard that joke before. I know. Why did you come back or what's going on?
Scott Galloway 2:03
Why did I come back? That's a very good question because I love San Francisco. I spent the weekend with my beautiful son. I helped him on his job. He's campaigning for a city council guy.

What is Netflix's strategy for entering the podcasting space?

Yeah, we had a great time and we cooked and we went hiking.

Let me guess, hardcore Republican?

No. But I was there because I was on Bill Maher, and I went to Gwyneth Paltrow's house to do a podcast.

Oh, yeah. I saw you. I tuned in. I almost never watch live TV, and I tuned in live.

I just felt like it never really got going, and I wanted to hear more— I should have just started with, I thought you were great and I thought you were especially strong on overtime. Thank you.
Scott Galloway 2:52
That's okay. Don't worry about it.

What are the future trends for podcasting and media consumption?

Scott Galloway 2:54
Anyway, it was good. It was actually, I had an enjoyable time. It was Rahm Emanuel and Jake Sullivan, which was interesting.
Unknown 3:00
Yeah, yeah. I love the producers. They're the total Friday night lights like parents everybody wants.
Scott Galloway 3:05
Yes, they're great. They're really wonderful. And everyone was great. It was really nice to be there. And Ari Emanuel made an appearance because Ron was there for a second, yelled at me when I was in the makeup room and then ran. So he's turning 65, by the way. Good job getting to Medicare, Ari.
Unknown 3:21
That guy looks good. Ari Emanuel looks very good for 65.
Scott Galloway 3:24
He looks good. All the Emanuels are in good shape, I have to say. I was doing a bunch. I went on John Lovett. I did a lot of press for this CNN thing. Let me hear your gripe. Go ahead. Gripe away.
Unknown 3:34
