I liked this podcast a lot and listened for over a year. But after the last episode of both hosts yet again going off about people who aren’t jumping in-line to take an FDA unapproved vaccine for a disease with a 2% fatality rate, I dropped it. Sorry if some of us trust our immune systems over the government. Not to mention the holier than thou attitudes and competing egos get boring.

Luv the show! But I’m shocked how many of my favorite podcasts & YT’s bought Coinbase on April 14th. Are there no financial planners shouting “Never Pay on IPO day” anymore?

That is the point of Bitcoin. To unseat the corrupt governments and decentralize power as we move closer to a society governed by logic and not pink fleshy chimpanzees. Scott talks like this is a bad thing.

Please allow each other to finish a thought / sentence . This is very distracting to the listener

Sick 🤮🤮🤮what a HUGE MISS w/out Scott! Very disappointing - wish there was more substance on ... Again HUGE MISS!

Basically, this podcast burst from the head of Zeus. Brava/Bravo. This podcast has also sent me to both hosts’ other podcasts. Well-played, all involved. PS: “Zag” is another word for “Pivot”. (This refers to a relatively recent episode... if either The Kara or The Professor remember this reference, this was my “hot take”. Next time I’ll tweet it.)

Enjoy this show as well as Ben Shapiro. Disappointed Kara wouldn’t consider having Ben on. “The dog” ain’t scared.

I find Kara to be intelligent and well informed, and for months it has been a balance of my respect for her and my doubts about Scott. My opinion of him runs from the mildly irrated, to wit: Lazy and incoherent WW2 analogies; To enraging: Supporting extra judical killings of Americans (Edward Snowden). But today was the last straw: Anyone who thinks Ben Shapiro is worthy of praise is not someone I will waste my time with. Scott should take an hour, get on YouTube and watch "The Easy Answers of YouTube Conservatism feat. Ben Shapiro" by Three Arrows. Maybe he'll learn something. I am politically left, as you can probably tell, and Pivot was a somtimes enjoyable peek into the mind set of the upper-middle and upper class. Guess I will have to look somewhere else. The stars are for Kara, none for Scott

Hey kids, an Armenian immigrant from Lebanon via Canada is ceo of Moderna.

A national treasure. Have more people like him. Bravo for inviting him. And Scott, John does not have tenure. That’s how brave he is!

Interesting, fun, insightful, can’t get enough. And for all the people complaining about Kira talking over Scott, he sometimes rambles on and deserves it. I love them both for being able to balance each other out.

I feel like Kara cannot go 30 seconds without name dropping, or mentioning that she has gotten job offers from all the tech companies, etc. If she were bringing up people she knows or job offers she’s turned down to illustrate a point, that would be one thing, but it feels like mostly self aggrandizement. I love Scott, and I love Kara too... I’m just not sure I love Kara as much as Kara loves Kara. It’s made the pod borderline unlistenable at this point.

Kara saying “We’ll see, We’ll See” is code for telling Scott to be quiet... he will be presenting both sides of an argument, or even just explaining how the right might interpret something, and then is just her shutting it down. We listen to this podcast for Scott’s takes on things, not Kara’s opinions which are so biased they are off the charts to the left. Summary: the liberal outrage doesn’t apply to all of your audience. Thanks for what you do, and for the free content!

I’ve learned quite a bit from this podcast about tech and business. Kara and Scott discuss things in a way that makes it easy to understand for folks who are intellectually curious but not necessarily steeped in the details of tech. Also, I find their banter extremely entertaining. Great chemistry.

You know what it is.

I love the show and the guests that it brings to have challenging discussion. The producers hit their zenith by inviting on John McWhorter to discuss cancel culture, which is the bête noir of our current era. While I realize that there have been many casualties in this recent outbreak of the culture war, I’ve viewed these excesses as necessary as it has certainly shifted the boundary of what is, and isn’t, acceptable behavior in society and our institutions. In my opinion, we’ve also expanded the boundaries of inclusivity by decades, in the span of a couple of years, even though this growth has been painful. Even still, it’s important to have guests that challenge the status quo from thoughtful perspective, as McWhorter does. My main takeaway from the discussion is that words and actions matter, and people should continue to be challenged to think.

Love the unfiltered banter and wide ranging discussions.

Scott’s great. But Kara keeps talking over him. I still listen, but it’s frustrating. I like Kara in her solo podcast Sway, but here with Scott as a partner it just seems like she’s trying to always have a blip of her voice in there all the time, especially when it’s not necessary. Let Scott finish his thoughts. He’s so good. Kara’s good too, but ugh. Know when to shhh

Scott is the brains of the operation let him talk. Scott gets a 5 star rating and Kara 1. Scott: get a better co-host, who is thoughtful, quick witted and smart like you.

Would be 5 stars if Kara would stop her incessant interruptions and talking over Scott. Please let him finish a sentence for the love of god.

Hi I have to comment on the yellow dress dialogue. I feel her memory was discounted. It’s important to take a moment and not make others memories your own or co-op them.

The podcast is about hosts casually discussing current events and inviting guests to ask them questions. The hosts can a bit full of themselves, but that’s probably justified with their credentials. It’s less of a structured, on-point discussion and more of a casual dialog between two colleagues who like to get under each other’s skin On the flip side, there is a lot of thoughtful, balanced opinion. Certainly worth listening for someone who wants to expand their understanding of current events.

Top-notch insights, funny, entertaining and surprisingly useful professional advice. Kara is a rock star and Scott is incredibly underrated.

Thank you, thank you!

This podcast would be really enlightening and entertaining if Kara didn’t constantly talk over and interrupt Scott. It makes it hard to follow. It seems like every time Scott begins a deep and illuminating thought, Kara interjects with a useless comment.

Kara and Scott have such a wonderful host relationship. Both offer tech, politics, and business takes with pomp and flare in a way that ties the complexities of the world together well. Always appreciate tech news w/ rotations of laughs and seriousness.

Please Kara, stop interrupting Scott. Thank you

Always informative. Always bringing new insights. Great chemistry. Keep them coming. Thanks Kata and Scott.

Scott... you slayed it on Bill Maher, I’m a big fan. That all I gotta say!

Love the topics and energetic discussion. Galloway is a rock star and he wears bluntness as a badge of honor, which he should. We don’t need to be coddled. Kara is smart and a bit of a character, not in a “bless-her-heart” way, but in her contrast to Galloway. However, Kara’s nervous energy and constant interruptions need to be curtailed a bit. It can hinder appreciation for the listener.

This is the only podcast I never miss. While the host’s rapport took some getting used to (are they frenemies?), I’ve now listened religiously since early 2020 and find it extremely insightful and valuable - and funny - each and every episode. Love both Kara and Scott and their varied viewpoints.

I generally listen to both episodes a week and enjoy them but sometimes I’m genuinely astonished by Kara’s behavior and attitude. It seems a bit out of touch for 2021. Most people in the country aren’t experiencing life the ways she does, full of money, privilege, and entrenched power. Recent examples include: throwing a fit about the vaccine system in DC so she could jump the line through use of her contacts, and bragging about getting her daughter into a good preschool (she says she knows her daughter will get into all of the best colleges one day because she guarantees it). Later, she jokes about how she will have really made it when she has a private plane, as if the lifestyle she often describes living in DC isn’t out of reach at all for most people. All of that is to say, as a listener, it doesn’t feel good to hear the host brag about how impervious they are to the troubles of the lower classes. People are struggling right now and more sensitivity would be appreciated. Other than that, I find the episodes entertaining and informative.

Kara is often the weak link. Constant interruptions, as others have mentioned, and her points are often half baked and much less articulate. Of the two hosts, she is less original and less likable in most episodes

Bill is a grouch. I like the interaction between you and Larry.

There are a lot of bad takes out there about business and tech news. Kara and Scott are the best. Smart, witty, and refreshing

Really enjoy this podcast

Dear Prof and Jungle Cat, What a brilliant, excellent and entertaining podcast! You’ve dramatically improved my pandemic life. Thank you!

Are these testosterone jokes supposed to be referencing HRT? The cute Kara/Scott banter ain’t worth the transphobia.

Another “you know” “you know” “you know” “you know” “you know” interviewee. No I DON’T “you know”, that’s why I’m listening. Don’t these folks ever listen to themselves speak?

I mostly enjoy this podcast. Scott is particularly well spoken and really explains himself well. I often have a problem with Kara not articulating well or completing her thoughts. I also think Scott is just much smarter and has better takes than Kara. It can also be a bit repetitive.

I love Scott’s predictions and his unfiltered opinions on the events happening around us, it is a refreshing take. I love Kara’s insight on tech, business, and politics. I can listen to those two bicker on for hours!

Enjoyable and informative podcast. A lot of information is presented which it great. It’d be more enjoyable if the hosts did not talk at the same time. Sometimes it gets exhausting and frustrating trying to understand a statement by host A when host B speaks on top.

Test

Kara

Great podcast...but frustrating often times when Kara interrupts Scott at some of his most salient moments. Otherwise I’d have given 5 stars. But again, FANTASTIC SHOW. Update- Kara has only gotten worse at incessantly talking over Scott. It really is an ear-beating. It really diminishes enjoyment of the pod. Would someone in Kara’s inner circle please talk to her about the constant interruptions. I will keep listening and hoping.

Highly recommend and helps you learn about to think about the business world. Very good chemistry with each other! Some incredibly insightful takes hidden amongst a number constantly repeated, poorly research takes

Entertaining if you can appreciate the personalities, sprinkled with some useful analysis.

Don’t always agree with either Scott and Kara, but love their chemistry, irreverence, and insight. One of my favorite podcasts.

The banter between them is so entertaining and keeps me listening! These are my people. Please never stop recording y’all. Kara and Scott are very knowledgeable and educated about what they talk about. Love Kara because I share very similar beliefs. Love Scott because he’s hilarious and I enjoy hearing his predictions.

You’d be a stupid head if you don’t subscribe. Snarky, witty and so informative this duo is a must listen to !!!!!
