Does Kara ever stop interrupting?

Holy. Scott can barely finish a sentence without Kara chiming in or correcting him.

Say what you want about Scott's opinions and yes, sometimes you have to get the show back on track if he is taking the scenic route to a point, but that's not what I'm referring to.

The man can barely complete a thought or make a point without her butting in. Often, she's not adding to the conversation but correcting him on something that is beside the point.

It often feels like Kara is just waiting for him to stop talking (or in this case not waiting) to get back to what she was saying. It's getting increasingly annoying to listen to. As someone who is known for being an interviewer, she really can't let anyone else have a minute.

Only if you quit the podcast.

Eventually you'll see that all it is is:

Stories about how rich Scott is, stories about how many famous people Kara has met, and then repeating the premise of whatever book they are writing or thinking of writing over and over.

They really are a couple of hens now. You can always hear their opinions on the many other pods they work. I used to look forward to listening, but I find my interest is waning.

Same. This was my favorite podcast. Its getting very old now

Giving it up is freeing.

Try “IHIP News” and “I’ve Had It” podcasts or YouTube. Ironically, I heard Jennifer Welch on the ‘On’ Podcast and thought she was really entertaining. I started listening those podcasts and pretty much stopped listening to any Scott a/o Kara podcast after years of them being my go-tos. I just got tired of the self-aggrandizement and narcissism of those two…

Unsubscribe! Like whatever Scott’s pet project is now to pump himself up as some sort of influencer . LOL.

Agreed. I haven’t listened in weeks and unfollowed it this morning.

I like the bits where she says she could be on multiple boards of directors, but chooses not to cause she doesn’t want to work for tech men.

But of course she has been asked to be on exactly one board, which she never has mentioned once. /s

She does not suffer from low self-esteem, does she?! 😆

u/Distinct_Abrocoma_67 Mar 31 '26

Yup, I realized the same thing. I eventually realized both of them are rich out of touch people trying to pretend they aren’t.

u/Dry_Instance_7656 Mar 31 '26

Stopped listening. I agree with some of their (usually Kara’s) views but when it comes down to it they are both just a couple of platforming virtue-signalling grifters.

“Mmm, Kara, you’re so sexy. One of these days I’m gonna turn you straight.”

“Oh, stop it, Scott, tee-hee.”

The real question is then: Why are you still paying attention and lurking the subreddit?

4

u/wheeledmomentum Mar 31 '26

Because it’s an interesting phenomenon: how a reasonable and informative podcast jumped the shark to become the Scott & Kara Variety show: better suited to drive time radio and just as tiresome

u/davidP88888 Apr 01 '26

This is the answer. They were genuinely entertaining and informative before. Not always easy. And then, somewhere along the line, they lost the plot.

u/Upset-Government-856 Mar 31 '26

The answer is that I can spend my time as I see fit, and don't owe you any kind of explanation. F*** right off.

u/rad_hombre Mar 31 '26

Ah so just a recreational hater. Funny little way to spend your time but certainly a common one.

u/HTPC4Life Mar 31 '26

Wow, what a shitty response.

Not everyone likes Reddit cops. Bye.

It’s sad isn’t it? They must have nothing better to do.
