Well, there you are. It's good to see you. Happy Sunday. And happy birthday to me. I will stipulate that you all love me like crazy. As much as I love you back. All right. Let's take care of that. We've done all our happy birthdays. Let me get my comments on. It's kind of a non-eventful birthday, I would say, relatively speaking.

I mean, it's not like there aren't events, but you know what I mean. So last night was my stepdaughter's wedding reception, which was just a big party at the house. And oh my God, that was a lot of action for somebody like me, Way, way too much stimulation. But they all had a great time. We'll see if I can stay awake.

There was only about two hours between the end of the party and me waking up to do this. So my stepdaughter was still up from the night before when I got up to do the show. So that tells you how much fun they had. All right, good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human 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 Here's a copper and margarine glass, a tankard shell, a canteen jugger flask, a vessel of a guy. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope meeting at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It's going to happen now. Go. Oh, Paul, thank you. I won't say thank you every time, but I do appreciate it every time. I think you ought to know. All right. It's summer. Can we call it summer? Yeah, let's call it summer.

So let's see what kind of stories the news is serving up in the summer. Now, if you don't follow the news, you wouldn't know that all the A-plus players take the summer off, or at least they're gone for a big part of the summer. So the stories that you get in the middle of the summer are less exciting than the ones you would get normally. Let me give you an example.

In Politico, there's a headline and a story that goes with it that Trump and Musk aides have spoken amid pause and hostilities. It's not even about Musk and Trump. It's about their aides have spoken. Don't you think they both have about 1,000 people in their circle and the overlap is probably like 500 people? Of course their aides have spoken. Of course they have. What kind of story is that?

It has nothing to do with Musk or Trump or any decisions that they've made. That's what you call a summer story. It looks like a story, but it's not really. Not really. All right, here's another one. According to The Hill, The Atlantic has a seaweed blob that's going to break records, and it's going to get even bigger than it is now. It's already breaking records. So it's a seaweed blob.

So I think there's something that happens in the summer that happens less the rest of the year, which is we get attacked by blobs. It's not the same blob every time. Like it could be a hurricane blob. It could be a UFO blob. It could be a meteor sighting toward the planet. But there's always some blob that's coming after us. And then we worry about it for a while.

And then we move on to the next blob, I guess. All right. Here's another summer story. A reporter asked Trump, are you worried that Russia-Ukraine could spiral into a nuclear conflict? What kind of question is that? And he says, Trump says, I don't, I hope not, I hope not. So in case you were wondering, Trump hopes there's not a nuclear war that doesn't have to happen. So that's your summer news.
