What personal experiences does Scott share about his health?
How are you doing? That's my impression of Joey from Friends. How are you doing? Well, if you didn't expect the show to go back to its normal time, you were surprised. So here we are. I am officially back home from a week in the hospital. We will not dwell on my medical situation, but suffice to say, I'm feeling terrific this morning. I'm going to give you the best podcast show you've ever seen. Now, I say that, of course, jokingly, but it might actually be the best one you'll ever see. I have a high standard to beat because just the other day I was saying, and I meant it, by the way, I said that the All In Pod most recent episode is just one of the best things I've ever seen in a podcast. It was about AI and economics and just a bunch of things that interest me and were perfectly debated and described.
It was just such a great show. But because I'm competitive, I've put together for you a special show today, a Sunday edition that will combine all the things you'd normally like with a new framing that That I think you'll like a lot. I'm predicting. That is my stomach growling. I'm not using my normal microphone. So it might get picked up on the microphone. If you don't mind. But has anybody missed the simultaneous sip? Wouldn't you like it to go back to normal? Yeah, you would. Guess what's coming. Get your beverage ready. Because we're back, baby. We're back. All right. I know why you're here. You're here for the simultaneous sip. All you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker, chalice or 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, the dopamine here today, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. Oh, God. So good. Sometimes the best thing in the world is just to get back to your routine. So pretty happy this morning. All right, here's what's special about today. I'm going to give an extended shout out to three artists who blew my mind this week. Now I'm using the word artist and art in an expansive way. So it's not exactly what you would call art perhaps, but there are people who have raised what they're doing to, in my opinion, an art form. And I'm going to start with a long windup so that you've got a context that will make this much more meaningful.
You ready? All right. So I've mentioned a few of these things I've mentioned before, but I've never tied them together in the way you're going to see. One of them is I've always been a, not always, but for years I've been a student of the Beatles, you know, the musical group, the Beatles. And what I'm interested in is not just how much I liked them, you know, especially when I was young, but their processes, right? and the systems that they used and how did they get to be so great? Because one of the things you would note about the Beatles is if you looked at any one of their skills, they have lots of skills across a variety of domains, none of them look like the best in the world. So they're not the best lyricists.
In fact, a lot of their lyrics were random. They're not the best musicians in terms of playing their instruments, which they would even have told you themselves. You could argue that Ringo was actually a world-class musician, but there'd be some debate on that. But I was trying to count in my head, after studying them for years, how many skills they had combined, because they had everything from the style to the sense of humor to the marketing, the business. They played multiple instruments. Like I said, they did their own lyrics. But on top of all that, I think McCartney was the unsung genius of the group. Everybody gets their credit. They were all amazing. But McCartney was sort of a systems over goals kind of a guy.
He just didn't call it that. And I think he was also a talent sack kind of guy, because they were acquiring so many talents over time. I'll just give you an example. I might have this wrong, but the example still works. I believe it was McCartney who said they had a rule, let's call it a system.
