Transcription

Chapter 1: What is causing chaos at U.S. airports right now?

0.031 - 22.63 Unknown

Once upon a dismal day, Bob's ice cream van looked gloomy and gray. Although he had big ambitions, his socials lacked creative vision. Ugh, that bad? Maybe vamp it up a tad? I have an idea. Bob launched Canva and got into gear. Create a video in the vampire theme and make it the funniest I mean. It went viral. Bob's business, a revival.

Chapter 4: What legal challenges is Elon Musk currently facing?

103.828 - 123.113 Kara Swisher

This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher. And I'm Scott Galloway. How you doing, Scott? I'm tired. I took the red-eye back from Mexico. Mm-hmm. But fortunately, the infrastructure is so superior at the airports in Mexico now. It took me about three minutes to get—and I'm not exaggerating.

123.313 - 123.814 Unknown

I agree.

Chapter 5: What is the White House's new AI framework about?

124.214 - 144.179 Kara Swisher

I texted my assistant. I said, should I get to the airport early? And she said, oh, no, not to worry. It's Mexico. I'm like, Jesus Christ, how far have we fallen? Right. It's really weird, I have to tell you. I'm so glad I'm not traveling this week. We traveled a lot last week for South by Southwest, and it was quite fine, even though it was building in these airports.

144.98 - 154.231 Kara Swisher

We'll talk about it, but I am so happy I'm not traveling, and it seems like airports, it's like lines, delays, crashes, and ice.

Chapter 6: How will the Nexstar-Tegna merger impact local news?

155.413 - 179.601 Kara Swisher

Of course, plane riding was never the most fun thing in the world. Did you have a good time in Mexico with your friends? I love when you do that. Yeah, I go every year with the same guys. And because one of us passed, we now feel as if, in a weird way, now we almost feel a weird obligation to go every year. But I love it down there. I can't stand the...

180.695 - 188.548 Kara Swisher

I don't know, catastrophizing or demonization, whatever the term is of Mexico. I think it's a fantastic place to vacation. I think the food is incredible.

Chapter 7: What are the potential consequences of the AI regulations proposed?

188.568 - 204.031 Kara Swisher

I love the weather. I love the people. Did you learn something fresh from your friends? Did you come to a conclusion? Like, did you have a moment, a hug, cuddle puddle? One of my friends, Adam, I mean, there's a couple of things. As you get older as guy friends, you are very competitive early on.

204.091 - 210.239 Kara Swisher

It's sort of you get together for kind of a non, a series of controlled boasting, trying to show how well your life is going.

210.74 - 211.24 Unknown

Yeah.

211.26 - 213.403 Kara Swisher

And get drunk and be more outrageous than the other.

Chapter 8: How do Kara and Scott reflect on the week's events and personal experiences?

213.523 - 234.393 Kara Swisher

And then as you get older, you do sort of pivot to really enjoying and celebrating each other's achievements. But I'm now at the stage where, I mean, just last year, there's this great gym called Jungle Gym in Tulum and me and My friend Adam and Augusto would go to the gym together. Now me and Adam get up early because we can't sleep, and we take a long walk.

Oh, you become lesbians.

237.238 - 257.816 Kara Swisher

Because he's getting his knee replaced. So, I mean, things have changed. Yeah, yeah. Things have changed. And men need to do that, I think. You know what I did last night? What'd you do? Mahjong. Oh, that's great. My mom used to play mahjong. Yeah, well, it's the thing now. It's the hot thing, in case you're interested. Are you good at it? You know what? It was a mahjong lesson.

257.877 - 279.383 Kara Swisher

I got it from my school auction, and I invited 16 people, friends who didn't know each other, which was really good. And we had a teacher there at my school, and little snacks, a little wine, a little beer, and we learned American mahjong. There's two different kinds. I happen to like the Chinese mahjong better for various reasons. But it was fun. And I have to say, everyone...

was thrilled afterwards because it was interaction, brain work, some wine, and learning. I had different ages of people too. Was it all women? No, it was men and women, and it was fun. Okay, hold on. Any straight men? Yes. I don't believe you. Yes. No, there was an oil trader there. Let me just tell you. Oil trader. Yeah, he was definitely straight.

302.338 - 321.995 Kara Swisher

I'm going to hear from the Mahjong Association of America. It just was really interesting. I'm telling you, Mahjong is the pickleball of 2026. You look it up, Scott. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. It is. Everyone's playing it. It's challenging. It's interesting. It's a mind fuck of a game because you really have to think. And it's also tactile.

322.737 - 341.168 Kara Swisher

The noise of the clickety tiles and everything is very satisfying. And it's about strategy and cooperation and non-cooperation. Anyway, it's a great game. Actually, we played... Shari, when we were in Tulum, we played Mahjong. Oh, no, wait, we bought Molly from a woman in the men's bathroom. Very similar.

341.549 - 342.791 Unknown

You and I are going to play Mahjong.

342.811 - 343.532 Kara Swisher

Very similar.
