What is the main focus of the Scott Adams School episode?
All right, everybody. This is Coffee with Sheldon. Now, she was listening to the fire at school. And we were purely organized. And most of you are Shelly. I will probably be kind of quiet today. because I'm pretty close to my end date. But we're going to experience the, I guess, the chaos of trying to get us all on the same page. And who do we decide is going to go first?
I think we should do the sip first.
How do the hosts introduce the simultaneous sip tradition?
Shall we do the sip?
No, Erica's going to do the sip.
I have the honors today, and it's an honor. Good morning, everybody. I'm Erica, and let's get together for the simultaneous sip, okay? Okay. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, 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 hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better is called a simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Excellent job. Thank you so much. Thank you, Erica.
This is Owen Gregorian. I'm still in the background, but you'll hear me from time to time. I'll talk more later. But we have Joel Pollack on. So I think we're going to turn the stream over to him at this point to lead us in the discussion for a while.
And Joel, before you start, I just want to thank Greg Gutfeld and Dr. Drew yesterday for coming on. That was pretty special for Scott. So I just wanted to do that. Go ahead, Joel.
Well, it's very, very special to be here with so many thousands of Scott Adams fans and followers and admirers and soon to be millions, of course, because so many people watch these videos after they're live. And I've been following Scott since the Periscope days about 10 years ago. And actually, of course, like many people long before then, reading Dilbert and Dilbert books. And then that incredible series of books that Scott wrote on business, especially how to fail at almost everything, uh, and still win, which is I'm paraphrasing the title, but it's always how I think about it, how to almost fail and then come back and succeed. It's an incredible book and, it was one I gave to my brother when he was in business school because I thought these are the most incredible lessons for anybody starting a business career.
My brother by then had been a successful restaurant entrepreneur, but was really moving into the business world. And I just recommended that book to everybody who I came across who I thought might make use of it. And then of course there was the summer of 2015 and the launch of the 2016 campaign. and i started following scott's observations and predictions being a political journalist they were very interesting to me not a lot of people thought that trump could win but scott predicted that trump would win and in the summer of 2016 when it looked like things were starting to fall apart for the trump campaign that's when i was able to get in touch with scott and to interview him about what he thought might happen in the closing days of the campaign down the home stretch
And Scott, I actually went back and looked at when you and I first were in touch with one another, and it was August 2016. And the Kaiser con controversy had just happened. I don't know if people remember that. But Kaiser con was this father of gold star was a gold star father, father of a soldier, American soldier who had died in Iraq, who happened to be Muslim. And he held up a constitution at the Democratic National Convention. And he challenged Donald Trump and said that Donald Trump's criticisms of radical Islam had made Muslims feel unwelcome and Donald Trump's immigration policies made people feel unwelcome and he was violating the constitution and so forth. And I was on the convention floor when that happened.
I was covering the Democratic Convention. And I remember looking up at the podium and thinking, that's really going to leave a mark. It was an incredible attack on Trump. And knowing that Scott understood the way the campaign that unfolded so far, I thought I would ask him how it would go forward from there.
