Good morning, everybody, and welcome to one of the best things that will ever happen to you.
00:00:09.780
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's famous all over the Internet.
00:00:15.820
And today is likely to be one of the highlights of all times.
00:00:22.900
And if you want to take it up another level, you'll need the simultaneous sip to do that.
00:00:26.520
And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or gel, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:40.900
It's called The Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen right now.
00:00:51.320
Do you know how hard it is to talk and read at the same time?
00:00:54.740
This is a weird little skill that live streamers develop.
00:01:01.540
I think the skill of it is you have to think what you're going to say and then package it,
00:01:06.020
and then as it's coming out, you can still read.
00:01:10.100
It's kind of tough, but you can do it for short periods.
00:01:13.160
It's not really multitasking, but it feels like it.
00:01:20.520
Now, this public service will not be necessary for the men.
00:01:28.820
But this is only for the benefit of your spouses or significant others who are female.
00:01:33.960
I'm pretty sure the men are going to appreciate this, okay?
00:01:38.340
Because it's something you all have to deal with.
00:01:46.200
If you're facing away from me and mumbling, I probably can't hear you.
00:02:01.700
Now, imagine that I'm across the room, facing the other way, reading my phone, and saying...
00:02:14.700
Now, as a man, you're forced with two choices now.
00:02:26.720
Does your spouse turn around, face you, and speak clearly?
00:02:55.440
And then later, when she says, I told you we were going to the thing, you need to say,
00:03:08.200
So as a public service announcement to the spouses listening to this, the women,
00:03:14.120
for some reason, it just seems to be a male-female thing,
00:03:17.500
we can't hear you if you're facing the other direction and mumbling.
00:03:25.940
If you're standing next to a source of running water,
00:03:49.660
And what do you do if somebody talks and you're next to the water?
00:03:58.360
Because they'll just say it again the same way,
00:04:03.720
Yes, James, you deal with this every fucking day.
00:04:07.400
And I promise you, this is not me talking about Christina.
00:04:15.560
This is every man and every woman, and I don't know why.
00:04:18.840
It's other female members of the family as well.
00:04:25.040
But it's some kind of a weird gender difference.
00:04:32.520
But women hear you across the room if you're facing the other direction,
00:04:37.280
and we never hear you when we're near running water,
00:04:57.560
In what world did we expect brothers not to talk
00:05:07.100
or maybe even not to make a phone call to somebody?
00:05:35.840
somebody there saying he should be fired for this.
00:06:11.400
But if you know it's just part of the texture of life,
