Real Coffee with Scott Adams · 2026-07-15 SPOTIFY · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

I have no idea.

I just think, I think, you know, if you can tell the story, it just, it's just so much better.

Yeah.

So let me, um,

with my tired brain here, let me just tell you what I was going to say before I got distracted.

Sorry, I got called to do an interview.

And so now I don't know where that person is.

But Scott has this archive, and he has incredible material there from his early life

I mean, he probably threw a lot away, but he kept the essence of a lot of things.

And one of the most interesting things he has is a set of metal boxes that has index cards in them where he wrote down every idea he had for jokes.

There must be thousands of jokes in these index card holders.

And some of them are so funny.

And I don't know if he used some of them, but it's just incredible to flip through them.

I mean, there's, there's no way you can absorb all of that material, you know?

I mean, it's, it's, but it is, it is incredible.

Um, I would just try to, I really don't want to, some of the, some of the best jokes are like stuck in my head.

I kind of almost want to use them for the book, but, um, uh, I'll give you a hint as to one of them.

Uh, he wrote down on one card, um,

Unification theory, Elvis killed Kennedy.

oh my god i love him like there's so many little things like that that i think some of them were things that people told him you know because he started putting his email in the dilbert comic so that when email was a new thing so people started contacting him and giving him ideas for the dilbert strip and so i think some of the things he wrote down were notes or things that people suggested to him for dilbert but some things were simply just funny ideas that occurred to him
