Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
civilization it's called coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine at the end of the day the thing that makes
Everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now. You are now fortified. All right. If you are subscribing to the Dilbert comic, which never stopped, some of you think it did, but it didn't. Dilbert is being recruited to work on Doge. So it's just going to be a one-week series. He won't be there long because he always has to return to his other life.
But Dilbert is selected to work for Doge. I don't know if you knew this, but in the Dilbert comic universe, although Dilbert is a put-upon cubicle employee, I always try to frame him as the best engineer in the world. So of course he'd be asked. Of course he would. All right. Let's look and see if there's any science that they could have skipped and maybe save some money. Let's see.
Eric Dolan's writing for SciPost. The stronger men have more sex partners. Stronger men have more sex partners. I wonder how much they spent to find out that women like stronger men. Because I didn't see it coming. No, I did see it coming. Next time, just ask me. Scott, we're thinking about doing a study to see if tall men have more sex. Don't need to. They do. Well, okay.
Well, what if we study to find out if tall, rich men have more sex? Don't need to. Don't need to. They do. Okay. But we're still curious about tall, rich men who have all of their hair. Yes, more sex every time. But what about tall, rich men who go to the gym and really have a good physique? Again, save your money. This is why you come to me first. Big money saver. I'm like pre-Doge.
You don't even need Doge if you just come to me first. That's all you need to do. I'm just full of answers. There's another study in American Psychological Association. I guess that's a publication. They found out that satire is more damaging than boring criticism. Hmm. Who could they have asked to save some money on that study? Oh, that's right.
Why don't you ask the cartoonist who writes satire all the time, like I'm doing right now, mocking their stupid-ass study. Notice how my satire about their stupid-ass study is way more damning than a boring criticism. Well, I'm not sure that was a high priority study. No, see, boring. As soon as I lay the satire on, zing, zing, right to the heart. Just ask me next time. Satire, it's good stuff.
Well, CNN. is showing their numbers data guy, Harry Enten. He shows that 70% of Americans say Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do if he got elected, especially the Doge stuff. He was pretty clear about that. But in addition, Trump set new highs. His popularity is at a new all-time high, including his entire first term. And what could possibly be the reason behind his popularity?
Could it be that he picks the, I'm going to use the Scott Jennings frame because this is a good one, that Trump picks the things that 80% of the country likes. And of course, 20 to 25% of the country is wrong about everything. So it wouldn't matter what it was. It's like, should we save the orphans? Because the orphanage is on fire and there's still plenty of time to get the orphans out.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Dilbert in current events?
They just keep MSNBC kind of locked on because it's hilarious. It's for the jokes. It's so that you can make fun of them because they're so ridiculous that I keep it on all day too. Now, actually, I usually flip through and I spend a lot of time. I watch MSNBC for the laughs, and that's not a joke. It's not hyperbole.
Once you realize that they're not even trying to be any kind of a news network, once you realize its only intention is propaganda, then it gets fun. And we're going to have a little fun with them in a little bit. So, yeah, I watch them for the same reason, just to watch how the propaganda works and see what they're up to.
And I do watch MSNBC more than, probably more than I watch conservative media. I mean, I sample everything. But I'll bet I spend more time watching MSNBC because I'm just fascinated by the technique. So Joy Reid on MSNBC, I guess she said today or it might have been yesterday that the Doge employee named Big Balls, that was his name online at one point, Big Balls, must be subpoenaed.
Now, why does subpoena have to have pina in it? Because it feels like sub-pina means whatever's below your pina. And what's below your pina is your big balls. I don't know, is it just me? And then I look at Joy Reid with her short hair, you know, her shaved head. And I think, why do you have to dress like the thing you're criticizing? Do you remember when she had Trump hair?
She had a Trump haircut when she was criticizing Trump all day. I thought, that's weird. Why would you wear the hair of the thing you're criticizing. Now she's spending all day criticizing big balls. And she's got her hair cut really short, so she looks like, you know, Big Ball's left testicle. You know, it's just sort of a testicle with a face on it.
And I'll tell you, I call this whole thing the scrotum gate, because scrotum is a word you don't get to use enough. Any chance I get to say scrotum in public, I'm going to take it. I'm like, can I say scrotum on this podcast? Scrotum. Yeah, it's just a funny word. So scrotum gate gets better. So here's something I've noticed, and I want to see if you've noticed it too.
Do you notice that the people on CNN, I'm going to note just two of them in particular, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid, have one thing in common that is the strangest thing to have in common. They don't blink their eyes at the same time. In other words, each of them has two eyes. And here would be a normal person blinking, if you're watching. Blink, blink. See both eyes blink?
Pretty much a normal person when they blink, both of them blink. But have you ever watched either Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid when they're on camera? Their eyes blink, but one at a time, like they're fighting off something. It's like... And then Trump... Trump is... like a dictator. It's like 1939 Hitler. Now, where does that come from?
If you find somebody who blinks separately with each eye, I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of their mouth because I don't even know what causes that. What causes you to reflexively blink separately with each eye? I don't know. I'm not sure that's a tell for mental health or lying or what that is, but I don't see it anywhere else. Have you ever seen that anywhere else?

Chapter 5: What is the role of satire in media criticism?
I'm hearing his name is John Kurokawa. All right. I think we're getting close. Anyway, I apologize to you, John. I'll get your name right. So do you believe that? Do you believe that the U.S. is literally trying to destroy the social fabric of Russia and Iran by making sure that Afghanistan is sending unlimited amounts of opioids to them? I don't know. I'm going to put a pin in that one and say...
An ex-CIA guy? I'm not going to automatically believe the person whose job was professional liar. If your job has ever been professional liar, that's what CIA is, right? You know, you have to put a pin in and say, I'll need a little more, a little more verification. Not quite there. But that's a scary one. Apparently the NOAA, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association. Right.
So they're the ones who were. who are our main agency for climate change and weather and stuff. And I guess Trump wants to cut their budget and maybe reduce their staff from 12,000 to 6,000. Now, you know what I'm going to say. So if all of our climate change policies are driven by climate models,
Wouldn't it be weird if we could go years and years and years, and at least I, who watch the news and podcasts all the time, I've never seen anybody who was involved in making a climate model, who was asked questions about how you do it and how reliable is it and is your data good and what assumptions do you put into that? Doesn't that seem weird? Let me say it again. The climate models...
are driving trillions of dollars of expense. And they're very controversial in the sense of, you know, are they real or are they not real? And yet there's no news entity, no podcast, which has ever had somebody on say, okay, you make models. Yours is one of the famous ones. Tell us what assumptions went into it. How many variables are involved? Have you ever had to update it? If you modified it,
why did you think it was right before? If it was right before, but then you added some new assumptions, and now you say it's right, well, you were just as confident before, before you adjusted it. So how can you be sure you're right? Just think about all the questions that I would ask. Yeah, we're getting a confirmation. It's John Kiriakou. Kiriakou. So, sorry, John.
Anyway, so as long as the dog is not barking and the dog is no climate model creators are ever on TV or are ever asked the question, and they are the most important people behind trillions of dollars of expense. So instead, we talk to the politicians. Do you know what the politicians say? Why would you ask me that question, you science denier? And we're done here.
You tell me, can you come up with any reason that for years the news ignores the people who make the climate models? Like there's not one of them who can talk in public to defend trillions of dollars of policy? That's the biggest dog that's ever not barked. And how many of you didn't notice? We act like whoever makes the models, that must be good and those must be accurate.
Now let's talk to the politicians. No, you're making me think past the sale. If I'm talking to the politician, I've already accepted that maybe the science was right. But if you haven't accepted that the science is right, the climate model part, not the science in general, but just the climate models, you need to go back to that.
