It came with a card, a lovely card that said, love your private dancer, Scott.
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money.
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Cara Swisher.
And I turn on the camera and I think, oh, my God, she's finally done it. She's gone through transition. I'm like, it's 62, you be you. But it was your brother. It was Jeffrey Swisher. It was my brother.
Yes, Jeff. Jeff claimed the thing. Yeah, I would look good as a man. I'd be a handsome man, I would say. Yeah, I would. It's true. I'd be adorable.
There's almost nothing I can say that works.
Yes, exactly. Let me just say, something happened to me last night. I'm here in my new studio, which I'm working on getting nice and fixing up like yours. And I get a present, a FedEx guy comes and brings something. And I had been contacted by your assistant, MJ, about sending me something. And I said, as long as it's not a stripper, you were going to send me a gift.
I would never do that.
And I said, as long as it's not a stripper. So what to my wondering eyes should appear than this? Let me explain the picture for people who can't see. People who watch it on YouTube can see. It's a picture of Scott about to lift his shirt to show off his tummy to the crowd at South by Southwest. And my face was like, oh, my fucking God, how did I end up here? Sit down.
What series of bad decisions led me to this? I love that photo. I saw that and I immediately said, by the way, that costs real money because some fucking Getty photographer took it. So I had to pay some, I don't know, Joey Bagadona's tech company $350 to get that image.
Yeah, and the frame was lovely.
I think that perfectly summarizes our relationship. I love that photo.
And it's going on the shelf behind me so people can enjoy it. And then it came with a card, a lovely card that said, love your private dancer, Scott.
Huh? Huh? That's right. That's right.
I'm keeping this forever.
There you go. I'm going to be buried with this. Forever is not long at your age.
Boom! Oh, thank you for your lovely gift. You're very welcome.
It was so thoughtful of a picture of you.
I love that photo. So speaking of things about you, you just announced your new book. I love the cover. I love the cover.
Oh, thanks. You were the thing that tipped us over. I had all these pictures of me, and I'm like, it's like, The book is called Notes on Being a Man, and I'm like, I'm not comfortable presenting myself as, you know, the aspirational man because it's just not true. But I like the more feminine writing, like notes and everything.
Yeah, it's very, it's got a feminine tone to it. It looks lovely. It's elegant. I like the ones with your pictures on them, the one with you as a kid and as an adult. I like that. But that could be on the back. Right. Or or inside or something.
Yeah, but this book isn't about me being the hero. It's mostly about my shortcomings. And it really is kind of it's a lot of data. And it's sort of like where I screwed up and what I learned about trying, you know, trying to lean into this more aspirational vision of masculinity. But I was much more comfortable not having my. picture on the front because I've decided that publishers pretty much do nothing but argue over the title and the cover. That's their job. They do. But they came up with this, so I got to give it to them. It was their idea, so I was real happy with it.
It's handsome. I think it's going to be a bestseller. I do. Explain what's happening. It's coming out early. It's coming out in November.
