- Down the tubes unfortunately
Not what it used to be…podcast has gone downhill mostly bc of Scott’s non-jokes that portray him as a vacuous idiot. He comes off as not being prepared, and seems to be trying to cash in on his notoriety thanks to Kara. Go back to basics - you can have banter but people tune in to get some serious insights, not stories of Scott’s sad teenage exploits. It would also help if both Scott + Kara didn’t immodestly brag about who they know bc it diminishes their credibility.

How could they possibly vote against Virginia?… I’m now at a point whatever you predict I’m going to know the opposite will happen! Big hugs!
Apple Podcasts5RN3862United Statesa month ago - Elements of Style for Kara, too.
I’ve been listening since Pivot launched - Kara was on Lovett or Leave It and I took the bait. Kara and Scott are good together but I never cease to be amazed at her flagrant misuse of the English language. Her syntax is often incorrect, pronouns don’t jibe and she comes off sounding uneducated. I had to laugh today when Scott recommended Trump consult Strunk & White before he next takes to the international stage because I always think that Kara should whole up with a copy (and a few Safire bo... more

Scott, I’ve read that there are a number of countries that were so deeply in debt when this Oil shock kit that they will go bankrupt.
Since US Bank’s (and others) are holding this debt will we have another Bank bail out?
