What is Coffee with Scott Adams about?

Scott Adams 0:00
X-Platform is down today, so we're not going to stream on that one. But the rest of the platforms are working great, as far as I know. So we'll have comments and we'll have a show on Memorial Day weekend when all the lazy people are off on vacation. 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 your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains... All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. So I'm going to ask a favor from one of the commenters. One of you puts the entire simultaneous sip with the wording in the comments when I'm doing it. Don't do that. because it's a long block, which distracts me. So I know you're trying to help, but it's really distracting when you put it in there as I'm talking about it, because it makes me look and say, oh, what's this long block of text? It's probably something important. So if you could, don't do that anymore. Thank you. It would be hard to know that that was a problem, so don't worry about it. Well, if the X platform is working after the show, Owen Gregorian will be hosting his spaces. Again, a coffee with Scott Adams after party. But it probably depends highly on whether the X platform is back online. And if not, maybe it gets pushed to the next day. But that's the current thinking. Well, if you happen to hate the New York Knicks, that would be a basketball team.

What happened in the recent Knicks vs. Pacers game?

Scott Adams 2:46
You've had a good week. I know most of you are not into basketball, but I just have to tell you about how the Indiana Pacers beat the Knicks. Because it's not even a sports story. It's like the biggest coincidence in the world story. So it was the game before this last one. And the Knicks were up by two. And time was running out. And one of the better players on the Indiana Pacers takes this long, desperate three-point shot. If it goes in, which was highly unlikely, the Pacers would win. If it missed, the Knicks would win. So you're watching it go and it's really high and it's really far away and it hits the rim and it misses. And the Knicks are like, yes, yes. We won the first game of this playoff.

And then the ball, because the ball had come from a long distance, when it hit the rim, it went up in the air for a very long distance as well. And when it came down, it went right through the hoop. It was something you would rarely ever see. Now, since it was a three-point shot, the pacers are like, yes, yes, we won because we were only down by two and we just made a three-point shot. And then they look at the video, and the guy who shot it, his foot was just on the line, which makes it a two-point shot. So first the Knicks totally won. Then the Pacers totally won. And then it was a tie. I had to go to overtime where the Pacers won. So if you were a Knicks fan, it was a terrible week. And I guess they lost another tight one.

All right, I'm going to give you a movie recommendation or a movie review, I guess. So I don't know where it is except on Amazon Prime, Prime Video. But it's called The Fountain of Youth. It's brand new. And it features John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, I think, as his sister. And they play these Indiana Jones kind of characters. Now, here's what's great about this movie.

What is the movie 'The Fountain of Youth' about?

Scott Adams 5:29
Apparently, I'm just guessing, my guess is that the director had some kind of deal with the production studio that he could make the movie any way he wanted to. And he made it old-fashioned-y. And you don't notice it at first. You just think you're watching a movie. Excuse me. Hold up. But at some point, you realize, hey, there was nobody tied to a chair. hey, there was no gratuitous like sex scene or those terrible scenes where somebody's showing their love to somebody else and you're like, I get it, I get it. You know, all the things that you hate in a movie, it just simply didn't have them. It was like a wisecracking action movie. So the wisecracking was great because John Krasinski is great at wisecracking. And the characters were great.
