Yeah, I love that. I I say that too, like when I'm like, oh no, I have to do whatever. And I'm like, all right, I can do anything for ten hours or one week, like when you think of people like who are tortured or like I think about like John McMaine being like, you know, crouched over all those years. I'm like, God, I mean the things people endure we're such babies
sometimes. You can you can endure I I want to endure happiness.

You missed the sugar.
Ta da, there he is, Joel Pollack. Welcome. We we didn't sip yet. We're just in time.
Where in the world is Joel? Today I'm in
Washington DC. DC. Back in my temporary home.
Aw. I know we wanna talk I wanna. You dressed up for us. Look at you.
Well, yes. I was actually um just on Fox business a little while ago. Oh so I just got back. I took my tie off. When you put my tie back on, that'll be dressing.
Nah, not for us. We we wore clothes for everybody too. Um, all right. Listen, you guys, we've rambled. Here we go. Let's get to the sip because I have not tried my coffee yet. I'll let you know how it is. Okay, here we go.
And all you need to enjoy it is a cup or mugger, a glass of tank, or challenges in a canteen jugger flas or flask, a vessel of any kind. Somebody saying that there's no audio. Uh that must be Why would there be no audio? Mm, let me see if I can fix that. All right, I've lo I've lost my entire flow. because the sound problem over on Periscope. Just just blew my entire routine. And we do need to have the simultaneous sip. So let's let's do that and maybe I can get back on track. I think the Periscope people are probably waiting for me to reinitiate, but it won't work if I do, so I'm not going to. Join me now for the simultaneous setup. Oh, that's a little better. Yeah. Sometimes you need those anchoring things.
I swear I always feel like my energy matches the sip every day, right? Marcella came in here all like, what's happening? How do I even start the live stream? I forget. So welcome everybody. My name is Erica. You have found yourself at the Scott Adams School. And if it's your first time here, welcome. We're so happy to see you. And uh we stream Monday through Friday at Scott's usual time, 7 a.m. on the Pacific, where Marcella is, our lovely co-host Marcella, and uh 10 a.m. on the East Coast where I am, and the people in the middle. Of the country, you have to do the math yourself. Um, so today Joel Pollock is joining us, and Joel is uh Fantastic, amazing journalist, author, friend of Scott, friend of our show, um, humanitarian.
Joel, I I was not kidding. I miss you. I feel like I haven't talked to you in so long. I miss your face. So I'm so happy you could come on today and give us some updates here. So how are you feeling?
I'm feeling great. I had only about three hours of sleep, but I'm feeling pretty good. I got up early as I normally do and then had a lift to the Fox studio here in DC.
