Let's show this clipping photo here.
00:00:02
This is a picture of Scott Galloway as a
00:00:04
kid doing Taekwondo.
00:00:07
Where did you get this?
00:00:09
Exactly.
00:00:09
Seriously, we didn't.
00:00:10
So, let's bring the lights up, please,
00:00:12
so I can see where people are. So, hi.
00:00:15
Hi.
00:00:16
What's your name?
00:00:18
Debbie Brewbaker.
00:00:20
Jesus Christ. Really?
00:00:23
Hi, Scott.
00:00:26
This is apparently or Scott thinks so.
00:00:28
his fourth grade girlfriend.
00:00:31
I I'm thinking so. Uh
00:00:40
that's her up there. He's right there.
00:00:44
Just real quick, Gabby and I were the
00:00:46
smartest kids in the third grade and
00:00:48
they used to send us to fifth grade for
00:00:49
math and English and we used to hang
00:00:51
out.
00:00:52
We did. And I I am thinking maybe you
00:00:55
had a crush on me and maybe maybe I had
00:00:58
a crush on you, but I am now on Carara's
00:01:00
team. I bat for the other side,
00:01:06
but I haven't seen you in 50 years.
00:01:24
Get back up here, Scott Gallery. Stop
00:01:26
making out with your third great
00:01:27
girlfriend. Um, who is of course Scott's
00:01:30
always like, "Everyone I went out with
00:01:31
became a lesbian. I'm
00:01:32
I should have known. We spent the night
00:01:33
in your dad's camper and you wouldn't
00:01:35
even kiss me. We're playing truth or
00:01:36
dare." And you're like, "Nope.
00:01:37
Nope." Okay. You have a really quick
00:01:39
question for us, Debbie?
00:01:40
I'll just tell the quick story, but my
00:01:42
my stepsister who's here uh is a huge
00:01:45
fan of both of you. She listens to Pivot
00:01:47
every every podcast and she I guess
00:01:50
heard you say something about me and
00:01:53
being the smartest girl in third grade
00:01:55
and she texted me. I guess she almost
00:01:57
got in an accident. She was driving and
00:01:59
she texted me immediately and said, "Do
00:02:01
you know Scott Galloway from fourth
00:02:03
grade?" And I said, "Yes, I do."
00:02:05
And uh that led to other things that got
00:02:08
me here. And I I've never seen you bald
00:02:11
or tall.
00:02:14
It's It's not a good look.
00:02:16
Are you going to change back for him?
00:02:18
Don't
00:02:18
Maybe. I'd like to get to know you.
00:02:23
Anyway, Debbie, thank you so much. We
00:02:25
really It's
00:02:26
so good to see you, Debbie.
00:02:29
That was
00:02:29
so nice. What a thrill.
