00:03:07 countries here? There's, drop your country, drop your country in the chat. We're going to check
00:03:13 them out later. So welcome. You are at the Scott Adams School. My name is Erica, and I am joined
00:03:20 with my hosts, Owen and Marcella, my co-hosts. We're so happy to be here today. I have a message
00:03:28 from a veteran coming up in a second. But did I ever, no, I never played this. And have you guys
00:03:34 ever seen this? It has nothing to do with anything. I just thought it was interesting
00:03:38 and creative and crafty. And who comes up with these things? Check this out.
00:03:58 all right so you get the point but like who's like hey i have an idea for what are those called
00:04:11 like a that little like i'm gonna call it a rumble strip but it's like so you don't go off
00:04:17 the road right like you hear it go when you're driving yeah have a name i don't know the strip
00:04:24 i think i've heard them called rumble strips or warning strips or different things like that
00:04:30 strip look at you yeah oh okay frank said rumble strip so i'm am i right wow you're right frank
00:04:37 says you're right so therefore you that's it i just need one person to tell me i'm right
00:04:42 yeah it could get very annoying but i guess it's so that you don't go on to the to that
00:04:48 overpass or like go on the side of the road i suppose yeah they're like or wake up
00:04:54 yeah there's like a lot of uh highways like the garden state parkway for example
00:04:59 on the side there's just groups so if you veer off to the side your car will hear
00:05:04 and you're like oh shit and you know you put your phone down and you drive straight again so
00:05:09 uh yeah i like it uh so i would probably be like oh that's like my music 0.99
00:05:16 you'd be like i like this song watch youtube like make me get in trouble for playing a song right
00:05:23 now. Oh Lord, they won't. Um, so you guys, we have lots to cover today. It's going to be a
00:05:30 hodgepodge maybe, or maybe it'll all come together seamlessly, but one clip, uh, King Randall will
00:05:37 be joining us again soon. I, I won't give you the exact date just in case it changes. Um, but he'll
00:05:43 be back on with us soon. And I, I mean, his messages are so good now. He, uh, was a, in the
00:05:51 military, so he is a veteran. So I'm feeling like this is covering Veterans Day message. So
00:05:56 I do have a message, though, for parents from King Randall, and I think he makes a good point.
00:06:03 And Owen, you can react first to this, but I would imagine I would fall into this trap. Here we go.
00:06:10 Sometimes we put limitations on our children that don't have anything to do with what they're
00:06:14 actually capable of. Your child comes to you and says, I want to try something new. Mom,
00:06:17 I want to play basketball. Oh, I don't know about that. You might get hurt. Hey,
00:06:20 that I want to start a business well you know most businesses fail hey mom I want to go off to
00:06:24 college well I don't know about you being that far away from home so at what point do you realize
00:06:27 that you're making your child's decisions based on your fears and not their potential now listen
00:06:32 I ain't saying every idea that your child has is a good one I'm not saying throw caution to the wind
00:06:36 but your job is to help them evaluate risk not convince them to be scared of every opportunity
00:06:41 some of y'all had dreams that you never pursued because somebody convinced you that you couldn't
00:06:44 do it and here you are now doing the same thing to your children you were afraid to fail and now
00:06:48 you scared of them taking chances. You were afraid to leave home and now you don't want them going
00:06:52 anywhere. You cannot keep mistaking your personal fears for your child's limitations. Your children
00:06:57 are going to have opportunities that you never had. Your children are going to experience things
00:07:00 that you never experienced. And sometimes they're going to succeed at things that you would have been
00:07:03 too afraid to even attempt. Because the goal isn't to raise children who are comfortable doing what
00:07:07 we've already done. It's to prepare them to go further than we ever did. Your fears are not the
00:07:12 ceiling for your child's future. All right. Shout out to my mom. You always said you can do
00:07:20 anything you put your mind to. You could be anything. You could do anything if you would
00:07:25 only apply yourself. But it's always the stick at the end. So, Owen, what do you think being
00:07:38 the parent on the panel is this true well I think it certainly happens um you know when I was a kid
00:07:45 I would say like my I saw that with my father to some extent with certain things but it was mostly
00:07:51 in relation to my siblings because like I I think I just kind of went into the mold of what my father
00:07:57 thought I should do in most ways so you know I didn't necessarily see him telling me hey that
00:08:04 won't work or you can't do that and but I think it was because I went after a you know a university
00:08:10 that he approved of and I went to into a type of job that he approved of and all that and then
00:08:15 my brother wanted to be like a blues musician he didn't like that idea um it didn't really stop my
00:08:23 brother from trying but um I could just see the tension and I think my mother was probably the
00:08:28 opposite more like yours where it's like yeah you know I just want to have my kids be happy and have
00:08:33 do whatever they want to do but it was interesting to see the mix of the two and sometimes that can
00:08:37 be valuable too is to just have both parents with slightly different perspectives on things and
00:08:41 i think with my kids i certainly did my best not to hold them back the way king randall was talking
00:08:46 about but i i would say there probably were sometimes you know like when my son wanted to
00:08:50 be a professional gamer it was probably a little bit like when my you know brother wanted to be a
00:08:54 blues musician it's like well i'm not gonna say i approve of it i didn't you know i didn't like
00:09:00 outright say you can't do that but I did what I think Randall was advising which is I mean help
00:09:08 them evaluate the risk of that and and say look you know if you do this because he was an adult
00:09:12 so I couldn't like stop him you know but I was like if you do this and you actually do get some
00:09:19 kind of contract where somebody's paying you six figures to play video games like you should treat
00:09:24 it almost like a professional athlete contract where you don't know if it's going to last a year
00:09:27 you don't know if it's going to last two years you know there's always going to be someone
00:09:31 younger with faster reflexes coming up behind you you could break your thumb and or the game you
00:09:36 play is suddenly not popular you know anything could happen and so you can't like count on that
00:09:42 and i also try to say like really that industry in my opinion is an entertainment industry so if
00:09:46 you're trying to be a streamer you need to be like funny or interesting or something it's not about
00:09:52 just being the best at a video game yeah and that's part of it but it's not the only thing and
00:09:57 And so I tried to help him with my perspective on that without, you know, just dismissing
00:10:02 it.
00:10:03 But, you know, he ended up not doing that, which I was about.
00:10:08 I'm pretty sure.
00:10:09 I mean, I don't know, Marcella, I can only fantasize about what I'd be.
00:10:14 All right.
00:10:14 So I feel like I would be I'd be like that nervous Nelly.
00:10:21 I don't know.
00:10:22 Actually, I don't know.
00:10:23 now i'm conflicted but i'm pretty sure if my kids said they wanted to be a gamer i would lose my
00:10:30 bad and i would just be like it's absolutely not happening like get a life anyway that's me but see
00:10:35 that that's me you guys i get crazy um marcella did what do you think about king's message
00:10:42 i think it's right i think it it's a he he's so wise for his age i i really his either his
00:10:51 grandparents his parents did a great job because he's so young and he gets it um he's gonna he's
00:10:57 i don't know if he's a father yet but he if he's not then he'll be a great father i think he has
00:11:03 two children so yeah those children are going to be amazing and successful i i don't know my mom
00:11:11 was a great mother um i mostly uh grew up with my mom since my dad died very early on but it was
00:11:18 always she never really she never really pushed us to any direction we pushed ourselves and she
00:11:27 kind of just went for the ride um like a roller coaster so i'm really i'm really glad for her
00:11:34 uh being so open and um non um micromanager helicopter mom she wasn't at all which i'm
00:11:44 really happy for i think a lot of parents nowadays are and i understand why because there's so many
00:11:51 you know there's so many issues uh that we didn't face social media all sorts of things that um more
00:11:58 crime in regards to california and like not letting your kids go to like spend the night or
00:12:05 you know go out on their own so that kind of puts a kibosh on everything yeah and as gen x and and
00:12:13 Gen X and older, I mean, you really were like a free range kid, which was amazing. So you,
00:12:18 you know, you got to do dangerous things and, you know, trial and error and, you know, not be so
00:12:25 afraid. We weren't so, we weren't sheltered. It was just like, okay, bye. See you later. And,
00:12:30 you know, oh, you're home. Oh, okay. You know, it was just like, it was, it was great. That was
00:12:35 great. I'm so happy. Like, I'm just so happy. I grew up as a Gen Xer, I have to say, because,
00:12:41 oh my god when i look at the confinement today of being a kid um or even people like in their
00:12:48 20s now like they were so confined and like you said helicopter parented and you know i mean it
00:12:54 could go either way but i i just feel like that's just so smothering that you can't really get out
00:12:59 there and like experience who you are you can't find out um and i always like uh jordan peterson
00:13:05 would always say, let your kids do dangerous things safely. Don't grab them from the jungle
00:13:12 gym because you're afraid they're going to fall. If they do fall, you're there. You know what I
00:13:17 mean? But don't prevent the fall per se. So I like that. Okay. So I'm going to move along
00:13:24 to someone who I'm imagining had great parents, and that is Elon. And he's getting
00:13:35 like all these daggers thrown at him now because the democrats basically rule texas at this point
00:13:42 but um so he has a lesson and marcella i sent you the post too just in case you wanted to like
00:13:50 read along with it but this is elon's five steps to run a company okay it's about four minutes long
00:13:58 we're going to listen to it but listen very carefully to every step and then i would say
00:14:05 you could apply this to almost everything you're building and doing and creating but tell me if
00:14:11 something stands out for you the most okay let's go the sort of five-step process uh first make your 0.97
00:14:17 requirements less dumb your requirements are definitely dumb uh does not matter who gave 0.97
00:14:22 them to you it's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might 0.97
00:14:27 not question them enough everyone's wrong no matter who you are everyone's wrong some of the time
00:14:32 so make your requirements less dumb then try very hard to delete the part or process
00:14:38 this is actually very important if you're not occasionally adding things back in you're not 0.53
00:14:44 deleting enough the bias tends to be very strongly towards let's add this part or process step in
00:14:50 case we need it but you can you can basically make in-case arguments for so many things
00:14:55 and for a rocket that is trying to be the first fully reusable rocket there's
00:14:59 never been a fully reusable rocket people don't understand like this is like the
00:15:02 holy grail of rocketry okay and so go to delete the portal process step super
00:15:08 important and you can't like hedge your bets so that's why the quick lens for
00:15:14 example do not fold down because that's a whole extra mechanism that we don't
00:15:20 need and then also if whatever if you whatever requirement or constraint you
00:15:25 have it must come with a name not a department because you can't ask the
00:15:29 department you have to ask a person and that person who's putting forward the
00:15:34 requirement of constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for
00:15:38 that requirement otherwise you can have a requirement that basically an intern
00:15:42 two years ago randomly came up with off the cuff and they don't even have the
00:15:46 company anymore these things are often just way more silly than you think
00:15:50 Okay, so step one, make a requirement that's done.
00:15:54 Step two, delete the part or process step.
00:15:56 If you're not adding things back in 10% of time, you're clearly not deleting enough.
00:16:01 And then only the third step is simplify or optimize.
00:16:06 The third step, not the first step.
00:16:10 The reason it's the third step is because it's possibly the most common error of a smart engineer
00:16:15 is to optimize a thing that should not exist.
00:16:18 Everyone's been trained in high school and college
00:16:21 that you've got to answer the question, convergent logic. 0.99
00:16:24 So you can't tell the professor your question is dumb, 0.98
00:16:27 that you'll get a bad grade. 0.99
00:16:28 You have to answer the question.
00:16:30 So everyone's basically, without knowing it,
00:16:32 they've got a mental straitjacket on.
00:16:34 They'll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist.
00:16:37 Right.
00:16:38 And then finally, you get to step four,
00:16:40 which is accelerate cycle time.
00:16:43 You're moving too slowly.
00:16:45 Go faster.
00:16:45 but don't go faster until you have worked on the other three things first you can always make things
00:16:51 go faster and then the final step is automate now I have personally made the mistake of going
00:16:57 backwards on all five steps multiple times literally I automated accelerated simplified
00:17:05 and then deleted one example I've talked about before it's like the there were these like fiber
00:17:09 glass mats on top of the Model 3 battery pack that were in between the floor pan and the battery
00:17:14 and it was one point choking the battery pack production line and I was like
00:17:19 basically living on the battery pack production line but I fixed the line it
00:17:23 was like choking the entire multi production program so the first mistake
00:17:26 was I like try to fix the automation like make the robot better so automating
00:17:32 was a mistake then accelerating was mistake then optimizing was a mistake
00:17:36 and finally I said what the hell are these bats for and I asked the battery
00:17:42 safety team, what are these mats for? Are they for fire protection or something? They said no,
00:17:46 they're for noise and vibration. Then I asked the NVH noise vibration harshness team, what's it for?
00:17:52 They said fire safety. So literally, it was like being in a Dilbert cartoon, okay? It was like,
00:17:57 actually, I feel like I'm in a Dilbert cartoon quite frequently. So then finally, okay, great,
00:18:02 let's try a car with the private glass mats and without, and they put a microphone to both,
00:18:09 and see if you can tell the difference.
00:18:11 In fact, I was like, which one is which?
00:18:15 So we just deleted them
00:18:17 and just bypassed this $2 million robot cell.
00:18:21 It was just a complete pile of nonsense.
00:18:27 I mean, hello.
00:18:30 Can you imagine that we can get that kind of information from Elon?
00:18:35 Like he's taking all that time to lay that out for us
00:18:39 and it's so amazing marcella to just see somebody you know so i went backwards on this i went
00:18:47 backwards on that and i said that was a waste of time that was a waste of time i i just love it
00:18:52 and yes of course a shout out to a dilbert cartoon and elon was very fond of the absurdity of
00:19:00 living your life like a dilbert cartoon um i just love that he'll he'll give out information like
00:19:07 this to people marcella like he's he's not like i'm keeping all the secret sauce like he's like
00:19:12 let me help you too he he's not keeping all the secret sauce and he's teaching all of us how to
00:19:19 be because what he's saying is like he's not somebody that is out of this world like he feels
00:19:26 like we feel like that like he did flying cars this year he did um rockets everything he went
00:19:37 um he spacex became um a company in the stock market you know like the the um ipo um and then
00:19:47 here i and then he's on x and here i am trying to do this this morning then going to court and
00:19:54 doing my work like i feel overwhelmed and he's running like a thousand companies so um i think
00:20:00 that you know this is a great um symbol of like simplifying things one of the things that scott
00:20:09 adams always taught us is that to keep it simple i remember him writing that blog post that became
00:20:17 very famous about how to write the like have the best writing is simple simplified things
00:20:25 that's something that was very helpful for me because in school you're always taught to
00:20:32 make it flowery do this come up with things that make people don't even understand words things
00:20:39 like that and in law school you really are pushed to the level of using legalese of what we call
00:20:47 legalese of like using Latin using like things that like my client is like what in the world am
00:20:54 I reading and now I just simplify it because I find it to be better for the opposing side for
00:21:02 the judge it's stronger um so some of the things that Elon talked about is making requirements less
00:21:08 dumb um I wish he was in control of government because that's a lot of the government 100%
00:21:16 I could go on and on, but I won't because I need to simplify my response. 0.98
00:21:21 No, that was a great response. And it's true. And yes, Scott would always say,
00:21:25 take words out, take as many words out as you can to make your point. And yeah,
00:21:29 keep it simple, stupid. 1.00
00:21:30 And it was like, it was so good. I mean, kiss, keep it simple. 1.00
00:21:35 Stupid. 1.00
00:21:36 Yes. 1.00
00:21:38 It's okay, Marcella.
00:21:39 the s word um but it's kind of like mind-blowing that like because all your life at least for me
00:21:49 in california you're always told don't keep it simple because then you'd sound like uh not smart
00:21:56 right yeah just just oh god i must just said something that was just going to crush my soul
00:22:01 on uh on locals okay so owen um yeah go ahead about elon well i think to me a lot of what we
00:22:11 heard or the fact that he told us those things is also an example of what he was saying and
00:22:16 like it's it's a also a measure of confidence to have the confidence to say because a lot of what
00:22:22 he was talking about you could easily interpret as like airing dirty laundry or talking about his
00:22:27 mistakes and i think most ceos of a company never want to look like they ever make a mistake
00:22:33 and and i think that hurts them because you know they're they're always trying to hide these things 0.99
00:22:39 that do happen all over the place in probably almost every company in terms of doing stupid
00:22:43 things or having things that later they find out was a bad idea and most companies i think in their
00:22:50 public face when they're giving interviews and things they want to come across as perfect and
00:22:54 smart and you know exactly what people are hoping they would be but i i find the opposite when
00:23:01 someone will talk the way elon just did it's kind of like more of a measure of real confidence and
00:23:05 real competence because they don't feel the need to hide anything they don't feel the need to try
00:23:11 and be something they're not and you can tell the difference you know you can tell when someone's
00:23:16 bsing you and isn't really giving you the real story and like scott said with his basket case
00:23:21 theory. Everybody's probably like that to some extent where they have these things that happen
00:23:26 that later they find out, well, that was dumb. And so I think, you know, being able to talk 0.85
00:23:32 about those things and just apply that kind of process to things, I think is, you know, it may
00:23:40 seem like it's simple, but really it's also hard. I mean, you know, when you say make your
00:23:45 requirements less dumb, well, what does that mean? Like, how do you know when a requirement is dumb 0.99
00:23:49 are smart or important or not. And I think his principles do make sense to say, you at least
00:23:54 want to hold people accountable, have a name, not just a department, that sort of thing. But
00:23:58 if those people are dumb, then it's not necessarily going to work out well. So there's more to it, 1.00
00:24:05 I think. But I think, I certainly think it's good advice and you probably could apply it to a lot
00:24:12 of areas and have at least a better chance of success. Yeah. I thank him for being so transparent
00:24:17 because you know anyone watching that clip right now you can just replay it a thousand times
00:24:22 actually there's a post on twitter about it um that gives like the whole everything he said
00:24:27 and make it a blueprint and i love you know how he says to this guy like what's this for and
00:24:33 they're like it's for noise and then he goes to the noise people they're like it's for fire it's
00:24:36 like all right well what is it you know like what what's the extra step and um i was listening to
00:24:43 something today about how they were trying to what's what's the car is it the at tesla x that
00:24:49 has like the doors that open like a batwing um and they were just like you know why won't they
00:24:55 open right and it was like well you know your guys have to go around under and blind and put 0.99
00:25:01 the screw in and this and that and then they were like well can we make like a jib or something that
00:25:05 does it you know this other way and you know just like he'll say all the things out loud like let's
00:25:10 talk it out and let me show you the process also. He has an ego because he's a person and a human
00:25:20 being, but he has no ego as far as wanting everybody to do well, is my opinion. I feel like
00:25:27 he's not that kind of person that doesn't want other people to be successful or whatever. I don't
00:25:33 know i love him so as i say i love elon now this is making me really pissed off um you know we've
00:25:43 got scott if if you could only know and i'm sure maybe marcella and owen i have no idea but the
00:25:51 amount of text messages scott adams and i have had about scott galloway oh if i just wished i swear
00:26:00 i just wish because all right scott galloway has lost his mind so he i'm i'm not even going to spend
00:26:08 too much time on scott galloway but he's a a tragic mess and he needs to be institutionalized
00:26:15 bring back institutions um so he hates elon so much he's on this kick of everybody now on the 0.99
00:26:21 left who's just an asshole is calling him a traitor to the west um scott galloway basically 0.99
00:26:28 is calling for his demise, literally. Okay. I'm just not going to say the words YouTube doesn't 1.00
00:26:33 like, um, literally for his demise. Um, and then he said that, you know, I guess like they were
00:26:41 like shit posting on X and Elon got so much under his skin that he was like, I have to sell my Tesla. 0.91
00:26:48 But you know what I did first? He, this is all right. This is his words. Okay. He said he took 0.99
00:26:54 a dump in his own car on the passenger seat because he was mad at elon and then when he
00:27:03 went to sell his car he was like i didn't really think it through because then i had to go clean
00:27:07 it up and i'm like why did your brain let that become your outside voice to the world like why
00:27:15 what so anyway scott would have had a field day with that so anyway so the new thing around town
00:27:21 is to say that Elon is a traitor to the West. And now, you know, he's got his Gigafactory. He's got
00:27:28 all of his stuff, you know, all the rockets, everything are primarily in Texas. And I want
00:27:34 you to hear, I really want you to see the new majority leader in Texas. I am not saying he's
00:27:43 on cocaine. I'm not saying he's a rabid dog. I am just saying this guy is like foaming at the
00:27:51 mouth like a drug infested maniac at the thought of going after elon but he doesn't even know why
00:27:58 take a listen to this if elon musk has committed crimes in the state of texas it is upon our duty
00:28:07 to investigate and to see if those crimes are real and that they are provable that is our job
00:28:13 as state officials so now if you're saying that just because elon musk makes a lot of money he
00:28:19 employs a lot of people that he's really important to them that we should just let it go we shouldn't
00:28:24 prosecute people because you can't give me a single example of what he's done exactly what
00:28:29 people have been voting against this time but that's why people are so angry fair enough but
00:28:35 you keep saying if he's done if this happened i don't know what this is i'm just reading about
00:28:40 this you're the incoming house majority leader in texas for the democrats i mean you should know
00:28:45 this sounds a lot like you're fishing around for a crime that you can pin him with but he hasn't
00:28:50 really he's not by any evidence that you've provided not a single example actually committed
00:28:55 any crime can you give me an example the word is incoming i am not in charge i do not have access
00:29:03 to the powers that that have the ability to investigate and coordinate right i'm sure
00:29:11 governor abbott has been hiding the evidence right just like he's been hiding his secret little
00:29:16 emails back and forth with elon that it took a federal court to force him to release those
00:29:22 documents and and were there any crime he still has not shared with the public that he still
00:29:27 will not tell us why he's hiding those emails with elon so like so aggressively i don't know
00:29:35 i'm not in charge but the republicans have been in charge for 30 years maybe committing crimes and
00:29:41 you haven't given me a single example of what he may have committed you cited international law
00:29:45 and agreements which don't apply to american citizens and without a single detail totally
00:29:50 different okay so in texas in the state of texas there have been multiple you want to prosecute
00:29:56 Elon Musk, you've given us no evidence that he committed a charge of crime.
00:30:01 Okay, go ahead, and then we've got to run.
00:30:04 Look at just—you read articles about in Texas, around SpaceX, about XAI,
00:30:09 you see again and again they're violating agreements, they're violating laws,
00:30:15 they're breaking treaties, talking about you cannot build in a wildlife refuge.
00:30:19 You cannot just simply dump trash into state parks.
00:30:22 You cannot cut down all these areas without permission.
00:30:25 we gotta run that's just the bare realm that's just what people can see for themselves well
00:30:30 all right kelsey grammar is coming up elon musk has not been charged with any crime
00:30:34 great to see you thanks for joining me
00:30:39 okay dude yeah all right so never mind uh blindsight neurolink tesla spacex i mean we could
00:30:47 go on and on about the amazing gifts of elon's talent that's bringing to this world and this
00:30:55 this guy's like, you can't, you can't build on a wildlife thing. Shut up. I cannot even stand like 0.97
00:31:02 the Democrats are just going to, all right, all right. The Democrats are just going to do the
00:31:06 same thing they always do. They're not going to make your life better. They're not going to make
00:31:09 my life better. They're just, you know, Trojan horses. It's going to be all lawfare and they're
00:31:15 going to destroy anything that, that has happened. That is great to the best of their ability.
00:31:20 and i mean if anyone could build us another planet or country that we can go live in and
00:31:28 we'll just call it like sanity world i i am there like i would actually give up america to go live
00:31:35 in sanity world because i feel like i'm losing my shit owen well it the whole thing is bs from
00:31:42 start to finish i mean he he starts off by saying that's our job that's our primary job when he's 0.90
00:31:48 what the majority leader in the state senate or house or whatever it is that's not their job their
00:31:53 job is to write laws and to pass laws it has nothing to do with enforcing laws so it's bogus
00:31:59 from the beginning and we all know what it is they're just trying to go after their enemies
00:32:03 and trying to embarrass their enemies and even if they know it's not going to succeed they want to
00:32:08 put him through the painful process of going to be subpoenaed and show up through a hearing and
00:32:12 they would probably love it if he didn't show up so they could hold him in contempt and all these
00:32:16 are the things that they would love to do but you know there it clearly is a fishing exercise to say
00:32:22 let's see if we can find something and again if there really was a crime i'm sure by now it would
00:32:28 have been brought up or the evidence would be out there because he's got so many enemies already
00:32:35 that it would have it would have surfaced by now it's not like there are no democrats in texas's
00:32:39 congress so i i you know saying oh i don't have the information yet because i'm only incoming
00:32:44 just means i haven't been able to put on the bs show that i want to put on yet i know and he's
00:32:49 like and why is uh governor abbott hiding his email so hard it's like because it's none of
00:32:57 your effing business what his emails are with elon right marcella yeah no and you know what i
00:33:05 noticed though is is that the democrats especially gene wu in that interview they don't understand
00:33:12 how wealth is created so in their mind to be wealthy uh certain democrats believe you have to
00:33:20 defraud people which is what they do in order to make money so they see elon being a trillionaire
00:33:27 maybe i don't know if he's still a trillion trillionaire but he's gonna be a quadrillionaire
00:33:32 and they think okay if he has so much wealth it must have been done nefariously must have been done
00:33:39 in an illegal way because they have no idea how to actually make money.
00:33:45 And so in his mind, like I literally think he believes it.
00:33:49 He believes what he's saying because he cannot believe someone can actually create
00:33:54 and do what he is doing without defrauding the nation, the country,
00:34:02 whatever he's whatever little animal he thinks that Elon took over.
00:34:06 um but it's kind of like there was a there's a coach show me the men I'll show you the crime
00:34:12 that's what they're doing right from Stalin's time and but at the same time I think they don't
00:34:18 understand how wealth is created they think it comes from the bank and they just can print or
00:34:25 from the the federal printer or something like that that's not how things are and I just wish
00:34:32 he would you know elon would take him down and would show him like a few weeks of what elon does
00:34:38 does elon hardly sleeps he sleeps on the on the tesla floor like if anybody has earned what he
00:34:46 has it's him and like i really think that it's beyond it's beyond eds elon derangement syndrome
00:34:56 It's the idea that they have no concept of how money and capitalism works.
00:35:01 I like to just call it E.D., by the way.
00:35:04 They have E.D.
00:35:06 Who has E.D., allegedly?
00:35:09 Yeah, these Democrats have E.D.
00:35:11 And no, you're totally right.
00:35:14 You know, they couldn't they couldn't spend a day doing what Elon does.
00:35:18 They wouldn't be able to keep up with him.
00:35:20 So do that. 0.82
00:35:21 We have to defraud.
00:35:22 We have to do this.
00:35:23 we have to move yeah we have to buy people have to buy us out i know and then he's like i don't
00:35:29 really know what he did but i'm gonna find out and then and then that's it it's like dude calm
00:35:34 down like you really want elon to pack up his factories and leave texas good luck good luck
00:35:41 with your economy i mean how about thanking him and oh god i need my i need my like after dark
00:35:47 show where I can say all the psycho things I want to say. I am spicy today. Okay. Bringing it back.
00:35:55 All right. So I would like to move on from this, but Elon, the Scott Adams School, we absolutely
00:36:01 love and adore you just like Scott Adams loves and adores you. And we see you like the sane
00:36:10 majority of this planet sees you. You are an incredible human being. We are so lucky to be
00:36:16 alive while you're here doing what you're doing, you're making the world a better place for
00:36:20 everybody. And thank you. And, and, and Stella, my cat agrees. Okay. So, all right, let's move on.
00:36:27 Um, I will never be done talking about Elon because I'm, I'm sorry, but like, I will fight
00:36:33 for this guy as hard as I can. I don't know what to say. All right. Um, let's move on. I wanted to
00:36:38 get, Oh God, I'm looking at the debris leftover in my, from yesterday's show that I never got to.
00:36:43 it's uh it's crazy what's going on in this world all right um is it god's debris it's it's it is
00:36:51 it's it's um it's the scott adams school debris as we like to say here um i do want to what time
00:36:58 is it let me get to scott's micro lesson first okay so i feel like oh we got another kitty in
00:37:04 the house okay so i feel like i needed this micro lesson today and you might think i do too
00:37:08 So maybe you do too. So let's do get rid of unwanted thoughts. Oh, hello, little baby.
00:37:19 Leo, what are you doing? Oh, Leo can hear me. So we'll get a little chat going. All right. So this
00:37:27 is get rid of unwanted thoughts. It is a micro lesson that we're bringing into the Scott Adams
00:37:32 school because I think, you know, like myself, we have to learn how to do this. So for all things
00:37:39 in life. So let's take a listen, get your cup, your vessel of any kind, sit back for a few minutes,
00:37:45 and we'll see you on the other side. This is a micro lesson on getting rid of unwanted thoughts.
00:37:54 Most of you have had this problem. It might be there's some traumatic experience that you can't
00:37:59 stop obsessing about. Or maybe there's just a negative way of thinking that's holding you back
00:38:05 and you'd like to think more productively. I'm going to give you some hypnotist tricks. Now,
00:38:11 I'm not a therapist. I'm not an expert or a psychologist. So you'd want to see one of those
00:38:16 if you have some kind of actual problem with a name. So if you've got obsessive thoughts and
00:38:21 maybe it's OCD or something related, you want a professional. I'm just going to tell you some
00:38:27 techniques for managing thoughts you don't want, all right? And the first thing you need to know
00:38:34 is that it could be trauma or it could be just something you don't want. The technique would be
00:38:38 rather similar. So the first thing you need to know, and this is what you learn in hypnosis
00:38:44 and the first day almost, the human brain doesn't know how to process no and not. It processes
00:38:53 images and thoughts and visual pictures. So for example, if you told somebody, I'd like you to
00:39:00 not think of an elephant, this being the famous example, people will think of an elephant. They
00:39:07 can't process the not as something to do, it just gets disappeared and they just see the elephant
00:39:13 even though you tell them not to. Take that principle to getting rid of unwanted thoughts.
00:39:19 If you tell yourself, don't think about whatever that unwanted thought is, it doesn't work.
00:39:26 You can't make a thought go away directly.
00:39:30 You can't unthink or think less about something by your efforts.
00:39:35 Instead, you want to starve the thought by building your shelf space, I call it, of other thoughts.
00:39:42 And the trick here is to find other thoughts that are so engaging that they can turn off other thoughts.
00:39:49 and there's some technique to it.
00:39:51 I first discovered the power of this when I'd be driving,
00:39:55 and I'd be driving somewhere unfamiliar
00:39:57 where I needed to pay attention to directions and navigation,
00:40:00 and I would sometimes be trying to solve a math problem in my head.
00:40:04 It might be calculating how many vaccinations the country needs
00:40:08 or just some curiosity I'm trying to solve doing some math in my head.
00:40:13 And what I discovered is,
00:40:14 and I don't know if this is generalizable to other people,
00:40:17 but I can't do navigation and math at the same time so as soon as I start doing math I'll miss
00:40:25 my turn every time but there are other things I could do with my head that wouldn't interfere
00:40:30 with my navigation so finding the type of thought that is specifically canceling out another type
00:40:37 of thought takes some practice experiment a b test try this try that until one one of them is
00:40:44 more effective. You'll probably discover it. Now, I think that has to do with which regions of the
00:40:49 brains are involved in what kinds of thinking. So if you can find the region of the brain that's
00:40:54 involved in this obsessive thoughts and just make it busy, it's going to be easier to avoid the
00:41:02 obsessive thoughts. So I would pick, in terms of picking thoughts that are more powerful than
00:41:08 whatever you're trying to not think about, anything that involves learning a new skill is good.
00:41:14 Because when you're learning a new skill, you tend to be really engaged.
00:41:18 And it tends to be complicated. There are details.
00:41:20 You're going to run things into your mind about what you learned, what it means, how it compares.
00:41:25 So any learning of a new skill is a pretty good way to go,
00:41:29 at least to test to see if it takes your mind off the other stuff.
00:41:33 And it's also a way to build a talent stack
00:41:37 and also reframe your experience into a positive.
00:41:41 If I told you, hey, you've got a problem with obsessive thoughts or negative thoughts,
00:41:46 you'd say, that's bad.
00:41:48 But if I told you, hey, you've got this situation
00:41:51 that's going to cause you to build a whole bunch of new skills in your skill stack,
00:41:57 not so bad.
00:41:58 I would argue that this is exactly why I have so many skills.
00:42:02 because I actively tried to fill my brain to get rid of traumatic thoughts from my childhood.
00:42:09 Largely successfully.
00:42:11 It just takes a long time, and you have to be really, really diligent
00:42:14 about staying focused and busy on other stuff.
00:42:18 So the end result was a lot of talents that I learned that maybe I wouldn't have bothered before.
00:42:24 The thing you want to do with your memories or whatever your other thoughts are,
00:42:28 focus on something visual and maybe spatial.
00:42:32 For example, I would often imagine playing indoor soccer.
00:42:36 It was one of my favorite sports as a kid.
00:42:39 And because indoor soccer is a visual, the way I remember it,
00:42:43 but also spatial, because I would imagine the creases
00:42:47 and the space changing and hitting to the open position and all that,
00:42:52 and I could play an actual game of soccer in my head.
00:42:56 So that was very engaging.
00:42:58 Likewise, when I was doing computer programming,
00:43:01 I could blow through six hours of a day
00:43:05 without knowing any time it transpired
00:43:08 because programming for me
00:43:10 at least the way I conceive of it
00:43:12 is very visual
00:43:12 even though it's technically not a visual thing
00:43:16 but I imagine it like a pinball machine
00:43:18 and I'm putting in the bumpers
00:43:20 the way I think of programming
00:43:21 so that was very absorbing
00:43:23 but the things that absorbed me
00:43:25 don't necessarily mean that they would work for you
00:43:28 that's why you have to test
00:43:30 So think of things visual, exciting, soccer would be exciting,
00:43:35 and spatial, that you have to move yourself through space.
00:43:39 I think those are the things that will be the most engaging.
00:43:42 And then also something that would add some variety.
00:43:46 So even though if I'm imagining playing soccer,
00:43:49 or I would do this with tennis as well,
00:43:50 I wouldn't imagine the same play over and over again.
00:43:54 I would imagine an infinite variety, so I would never get tired of it.
00:43:59 And then the biggest thing is to just keep at it.
00:44:02 I would say that it took me a decade or more
00:44:06 to get rid of some of my persistent traumatic feelings.
00:44:11 So think of it as a long-term game
00:44:13 in which you're getting maybe a little half a percent gain
00:44:17 if you work hard at building up your other thoughts
00:44:21 to cancel out the bad ones.
00:44:24 But over time, it'll pay off.
00:44:25 That's your micro lesson.
00:44:27 You can't get rid of a bad thought, but you can find more engaging thoughts, things to
00:44:33 learn, things to take your attention away until the bad thought suffers from atrophy
00:44:39 and becomes non-important to you.
00:44:41 That's your micro lesson for the day.
00:44:45 I love it.
00:44:46 I love it.
00:44:47 Okay, so just do an experiment with me in the chat, whatever platform you're on.
00:44:54 if you've had a traumatic experience from your childhood, drop any emoji in the chat,
00:45:02 just drop an emoji or say yes in the chat. If you've had any type of traumatic experience as
00:45:08 a child. Okay. Um, I love this. And you know, I also love that Scott kept doing this member,
00:45:15 like, you know, so he took up drumming. He's like, I'm going to learn how to drum. I'm going
00:45:19 to learn how to play the guitar. I'm going to try cooking on camera with you guys. He did some
00:45:25 singing in private. He never let us in on that, but he did and he was fascinated by it. So I love
00:45:34 that. The man always practices what he preached and I fully agree with this. You have to just
00:45:40 kind of replace the thoughts with something else. And eventually you're not thinking about that
00:45:44 thing anymore owen i i like this yeah don't follow scott's advice no yeah no i am it clearly it is
00:45:54 good advice i think um one thing i would add to it is like you mentioned just finding more engaging
00:46:00 thoughts i think another piece of advice that i think fits well with that is to try and just get
00:46:04 outside your own head and think about other people or try and help other people that if you put the
00:46:09 focus outside of your own head and on other people then it naturally just makes you stop
00:46:14 thinking about your own problems um i think there's other ways of thinking about this like
00:46:20 there's all the people like a car totally i think he's the author that talks about just thinking
00:46:26 about the present moment and i think scott said something maybe in a different micro lesson about
00:46:30 that too how he said you know just the past isn't real the future isn't real all you have is your
00:46:35 present moment and a lot of your problems kind of melt away if you take that perspective
00:46:39 because it's like are you really having that problem right now or are you just
00:46:44 worrying about something that might happen in the future or worrying about something that
00:46:48 happened in the past and if you take that reframe that he gave us to say you know pretend it's like
00:46:54 a video game and you just spawned and you know it's just this is your first moment on earth and
00:46:58 you have all the talent stack and all the memories you have but it's just like you're starting fresh
00:47:03 then you can maybe just think about that as opposed to dwelling on something or ruminating on the past.
00:47:10 And so I think definitely good techniques.
00:47:13 And I think it is, I've found it to be true that it's very hard to say I'm going to stop thinking negative thoughts by focusing on the negative thoughts.
00:47:22 You have to focus on the positive or just distract yourself or do something else.
00:47:26 you know, even in some cases, maybe play a positive piece of music or something else that
00:47:31 would get you off of that thought pattern. Yeah. And you guys, you don't, you know,
00:47:35 the thing is, is you don't have to sit with the negative thoughts, you know, that you have to
00:47:40 just train yourself. You know, I remember, so you guys, you know, you know, I want to smoke again.
00:47:47 I love smoking so much. Okay. But when I quit smoking, it was, you know, the advice I got was
00:47:54 just put it off. Just like if you're, if you feel like you're going to light a cigarette,
00:47:58 just put it off for five minutes. And then when that, you know, when you think about it again,
00:48:03 put it off for another five minutes. I mean, we're just going by and I just put it off for
00:48:09 another, you know, five minutes turned into forever. So, you know, sometimes I tell people
00:48:14 like, I know that like you're, you're in this moment right now and believe me, like I can
00:48:18 like myself out of it, but just start, just say, you know what, let me put off these thoughts for
00:48:25 five minutes and go like clean out that drawer. Or maybe I'll like, you know, do something over
00:48:30 here or like call a friend or whatever. And the next thing you know, you haven't thought about it
00:48:34 for, you know, a half an hour or an hour. So Marcella, you know, what kind of techniques do
00:48:39 you do if you, if you have thoughts? I mean, I feel like at some point I got to the point where
00:48:44 i could just put them out of my head kind of easy now so but it's a process sometimes i'm lucky that
00:48:52 i don't really have negative thoughts in regards to like my childhood or things like that um even
00:48:58 though i should i guess you could but i i enjoy really hardcore metal music which is not really
00:49:08 something you would think about so like hearing like lots of yelling and going in the mosh pit
00:49:14 you know having that that letting go of who you are during the day i like that um i like running
00:49:23 i like playing video games so that gets you out of the world that because a lot of the video games
00:49:30 now are like you're like a different world and you're like a different person the same with
00:49:35 reading i like a fantasy like sci-fi and like lots of chapters and like i'm in this other world
00:49:43 and I'm like yeah you know because like believe me the life of a lawyer is not very exciting
00:49:50 it's not like tv shows it's a lot of like advocacy yes and I get excited whenever there's a conflict
00:49:57 but uh which is weird but like people are like what um because I want to resolve it I I think I
00:50:07 have the what it takes to resolve issues between people but in in the very end i think all of us
00:50:14 have to find that kind of place where we you know and find different skill sets like maybe try
00:50:21 fishing or try hiking or something you've never done i think it's a that's helpful you know yeah
00:50:29 i mean even something just um simple i i saw a post i don't know where it was but it was like
00:50:35 like, oh, I know what it was. It was someone was showing how to tie like different knots to make
00:50:41 jewelry. Like you want to put a pendant. Oh, to make jewelry. Yeah. So I was like,
00:50:46 you know what? Like that would be kind of fun. Like learn how to tie different knots and like
00:50:51 maybe you could make like a little, I used to be a jewelry designer, but I didn't do much of like
00:50:55 the only knotting I did was for pearls. Like if you wanted to, you know, anyway. But I was just
00:51:01 even something like that would be fun. It would be kind of fun to impress my friends this summer
00:51:06 by knowing how to tie different boat knots and nautical knots. Who knows? Maybe there's just
00:51:10 little videos. And I know one time I was in a funk and I found a video on YouTube. I don't
00:51:18 have the patience to knit. Oh my God, like Harmeet Dillon, crazy amazing. But I saw this arm
00:51:25 knitting. So I ordered this yarn that was really thick and you use your arms as the knitting
00:51:31 needles. Okay. So like, there's no needles. It's your arms. So like, you're like doing this.
00:51:36 That's yeah. Oh, cool. So I was making these huge thick scarves, like within like a half an hour
00:51:43 and I'd have like the little video playing and I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean,
00:51:49 I don't know, it was fun. And then I donated all the scars I made to people that needed them.
00:51:53 Um, you know, so just do something you would never do. And if you do something like you never
00:52:00 even thought you would do, it really opens up a whole different side of your brain. And you cannot
00:52:06 think about any of the BS you were thinking about because like a whole different part of your brain
00:52:10 is alive all of a sudden. So just do something crazy. Um, I'll think, I think I'm going to learn
00:52:17 how to how to do not right yeah it can come in handy especially you know for the civil war you
00:52:28 never know for rob a bank i mean it's exciting right that's different that's that definitely
00:52:36 gets me um into a federal prison but i'm gonna say don't rob a bank because you will get caught
00:52:44 you will go to jail. Then you're going to be stuck in jail with all your negative thoughts
00:52:49 and no yarn. So just don't do that. So listen, we have a few minutes left, but I want to just give
00:52:57 you that Jersey Shore moment again. So let's just have a moment of serenity, okay? Just listen to
00:53:06 the waves. As someone pointed out to me yesterday, I said I love hearing the mist of the waves coming
00:53:11 up. And yes, there's like negative ions in there and magnesium and all the good things. So let's
00:53:18 just inhale the positivity and exhale your negative thoughts for just a second.
00:53:41 oh it's over oh sorry i don't want to know i don't want to know oh this is taking a little
00:53:57 nap uh so also i would like to say happy birthday to dr von hardy at the low in the locals chat

00:57:53 deserved the 9-11 attacks.
00:57:54 Again, 25%.

00:58:35 minutes left but we're done like what else is there to say at this point oh the the the new
00:58:42 story of the decade that you guys have missed you know a lot of people are talking about the
00:58:46 midterms and how republicans lost or like democrats won or whatever but you guys missed
00:58:51 the real story what was hollywood in california west hollywood has allowed
00:58:57 truplets and foursomes to register as domestic partners so you can have a you can have a triple 0.98
00:59:06 trouble trouble sorry i don't know how to pronounce it like she doesn't force them

00:59:26 four or three girlfriends can move to west hollywood oh my god no all right and owen
00:59:34 big story news for us um most of the news i had was political things like that um you know
00:59:42 hakeem jeffries is being criticized as not being radical enough florida is investigating the dsa
00:59:48 for their ties to china and cuba um harvard is apparently having some kind of graduate students
00:59:55 strike where they're still paying the people who are striking so i'm not sure how that called
01:00:00 all right owen don't bring us down owen owen come on it's not time for that all right you guys as a
01:00:07 bonus as a bonus give us a bonus you gave me jimothy and i'm cutting off the serious news
01:00:13 right now um and and to counterbalance that because i i posted yesterday on x that
01:00:21 one of the scott galloway's little meltdowns and i was commenting how god i wish scott could just
01:00:27 you know give us his commentary on it and i said he'd be laughing he'd be taking off his glasses
01:00:32 and wiping the tears from laughing so hard he'd have that scratchy tissue he would grab next to
01:00:37 him and be like who was that scott scott adams yeah i said he'd be laughing at scott galloway
01:00:44 so much oh i wish yeah so because i mentioned that yesterday and so many people agreed even
01:00:50 J Cal gave me a like on that. I mean, J Cal and I, I think we're smoothing things over. I'm happy
01:00:56 about that. But let's do the Scott compilation of Laughing Scott, because let's just let him laugh
01:01:04 for all the bullshit that we're seeing. Here we go. I've actually been crying. I've been laughing 0.99
01:01:09 so hard. I've been laughing for 10 minutes straight since I saw this. George Filosopoulos,
01:01:15 a newscaster would hinge on several factors one source of information
01:01:30 viewers might be more inclined to trust his statements conversely if he has been wrong
01:01:35 before or shown bias viewers might question his claims three context of the information
01:01:45 that her... 0.99
01:01:53 ... 1.00
01:01:55 ...
01:01:59 ...
01:01:59 ...
01:02:00 ...
01:02:06 ...
01:02:08 ...
01:02:09 ...
01:02:10 ...
01:02:12 His discrepancy would make his assertions seem less credible, or might suggest that he is part of a broader misinformation system.
01:02:19 So, audio, deception, and hate.
01:02:23 From a storytelling perspective, whether George is portrayed as a credible newscaster or as someone engaged in gaslighting.
01:02:30 Oh, I've watched this thing probably 15 times.
01:02:56 and i i literally cry every time i watch it like tears just shoot out of my eyes against my glasses
01:03:04 oh my god i was laughing so hard i needed that we needed that today you guys
01:03:13 sometimes um he would like he would laugh at something and it wasn't like funny to me like
01:03:21 what he was laughing at, but when he was laughing, it made me laugh. Like the way that he was laughing.
01:03:27 Oh my God. A hundred percent. The AI episode when he was talking to AI and Slopadopolis or
01:03:34 something like that was hilarious. He had so much fun playing with all that AI stuff when it came
01:03:39 out. And he's just like, oh my God. Like it was so good. So we love you, Scott. We miss you so much,
01:03:45 but you know, we think about you 24 seven. Okay. Not in an unhealthy way, just 24 seven.
01:03:53 Oh my gosh. All right, you guys. So listen, we did it. It was, it was a fun little hump day.
01:03:59 We had a range of emotions and ended up with just some good laughter and it's, it's good.
01:04:04 It's good to laugh at Scott laughing. You're allowed to laugh. So listen, we will be back
01:04:10 tomorrow. The home team will be back tomorrow where Owen will be sure to bring us down with
01:04:14 serious news and, um, right. And I'll rage at everything. And Marcella will just like the
01:04:22 turmoil. So that's us. So listen, we want to say, uh, you guys, all the links for all of the things
01:04:30 are in the show description on each platform you're watching on the wall calendar, the desk
01:04:35 calendar, the beanies, the mugs, the simultaneous swaddles. And of course, the Scott Adam biography,

01:05:36 thanks guys hey everybody can i stay yeah always are you kidding akira akira it's not music it's
01:05:48 music plus how do you like being criticized you hate it don't you know don't you hate getting
01:05:56 I can't see you right now.
01:06:26 Every time somebody criticizes you, you just made money.
01:06:37 Do you know why I say that?
01:06:40 Because you just made money.
01:06:42 It's true.
01:06:43 If somebody criticizes my live stream, and I'll tell you, the biggest criticism I'm hearing is that my shelves are boring.
01:06:51 now do i feel good that you're telling me that there's something about my thing that i do every
01:06:58 day is it good no nobody likes to be criticized it's not like you can enjoy it but how do i
01:07:07 receive it do i receive it as oh i guess i suck i could right how easily could i receive a
01:07:16 criticism like that is. God, I'm an idiot. Why did I see it? Obviously those shells need something on them. That'd be real easy, wouldn't I? I don't. Here's how I hear it. 1.00
01:07:46 I know exactly what to change to do a better job.
01:07:52 Because you told me.
01:07:53 That's like money.
01:07:54 If somebody hands you a thing that will definitely make you money, what is your feeling about it?
01:08:01 Do you feel, oh, I hate it when people give you a thing that makes me make money?
01:08:07 I bet most of you think exactly that.
01:08:10 You think, I hate criticism.
01:08:12 Not me.
01:08:13 years ago when people would criticize my comic i would hate it of course but then i would say
01:08:21 oh a lot of people are saying the same thing so i'll change it and then i would make that change
01:08:26 and that made me rich i literally got rich by being criticized and understanding the criticism
01:08:36 As
01:09:01 Every time I hear one I say wait a minute. You just told me how to get richer
01:09:06 The same applies if you're not trying to get rich.
01:09:08 Suppose you just wanted a better social life.
01:09:10 The best advice somebody gave me was the cruelest thing anybody ever said.
01:09:14 One day, my female friend told me how negative and what a bummer it was to listen to because I was complaining about stuff all the time.
01:09:21 Now, I was not aware that I was a big complainant.
01:09:24 I had no idea.
01:09:25 I thought I was a person who talked about my day and the funny parts of it.
01:09:28 So in my mind, I had no idea that I was having an effect on other people.
01:09:33 Once I learned that, do you know how powerful that was?
01:09:36 I was able, because it was something I could change, I would become aware of the ratio of negative things I said to positive, cha-ching. It was probably the most important change I've ever made to my social toolbox. I would say that that one change really, really changed my life. 0.68
01:10:06 That's the, that's the reframe.
01:10:34 So the next time you get criticized, whether personally or whether professionally, say to yourself, just try it. Like, actually say that little sound.
01:10:54 Not figuratively. I'm not talking figuratively. I mean actually saying that.
01:11:00 oh my god how did i forget my cha-ching hat for the whole song
01:11:22 you forgot it's right here my cha-ching hat better late than never oh my god you guys listen
01:11:35 to me here's here's a little behind the curtain scott was scott scott would say uh scott would
01:11:41 say a little behind the curtain for you did you know i could do accents marcella oh yes of course
01:11:48 you can i have i would like to hear them more often well let me tell you about this one i don't
01:11:55 know what that was i was so nauseous before the show you guys i've got myself a little baked
01:12:01 potato but it's not any just any baked potato it's what is it it is a jersey white sweet potato
01:12:11 a white sweet potato it's a jersey white sweet potato does it taste different
01:12:20 yes the orange one okay it's like it's like a baked potato had a long distance affair with
01:12:28 a sweet potato and it just it like left a little remnant of that sweet potato and it's like were
01:12:34 you cheating on me? I'm sure that the sweet potato, the white sweet potato industry loves
01:12:41 that summation. Why am I talking into my golden microphone? Nobody knows. I don't know. Would
01:12:47 you happen to tell me if it's sold and traded jokes? Absolutely not. Would you like to hear
01:12:54 this accent? I don't know what this one is either. I think I'm just so punchy. Why am
01:13:02 holding this? Like something's happening. Because it's gold. Sometimes I'm on the phone with people
01:13:08 and I'm at my desk and I'm talking and I'm leaning into this when I'm on the phone. I'm like,
01:13:12 what am I doing? Like what? Why? I'm so confused. Oh my God. Make it end. Make it end. Well,
01:13:20 it's not as bad as me when I'm talking on the phone and I'm looking for my phone.
01:13:25 I'm like, where's my phone? Because I need to calculate this. I'm like, I am on the phone.
01:13:31 Here's another thing they don't know, Marcella.
01:13:33 Sometimes Marcella and I are here.
01:13:35 Wait, I'm crooked.
01:13:37 What's crooked? 1.00
01:13:38 You're half, you're half. 1.00
01:13:39 And we end the show.
01:13:40 You're not crooked.
01:13:41 Not me.

01:13:48 talk for like 45 minutes. 1.00

01:16:42 entertaining on all the platforms. But oh my God. And I want to like, oh, oh, I don't remember who
01:16:51 it was. Somebody on YouTube. All right. So YouTube, do me a favor. If you see comments and you can
01:16:58 help me out because I can't always read YouTube during the show, please do me a favor. There is
01:17:04 nothing Scott Adams related that's made in China. Nothing. And the Coffee with Scott Adams mug is
