Good morning, everybody. Good morning.

You know, I was going to have a theme song playing this morning, but I thought I can still do it. While you're filing in here and grabbing a chair, grab a beverage. I'm going to delight you in a moment for the first time. Oh, I can't do that if I'm live. I guess maybe I can. We'll find out. We'll find out how many things I can do at the same time when I'm live.

All right. This will be a special treat if it works. Work, work. Damn it. All right, I'll try this.

"Ask the question. Can you train your mind to be happy?" And it says yes. Expert says, "Would you like to know how?" There we go. "Would you like me to train you with my hypnosis experience into how to be happier?" All right. Well, I won't hypnotize you. I'll just tell you how to do it. "Number one, whatever you think about the most is who you are." Yeah. It's who you are.

All right. Well, so that's Akira the Dawn. That's one of two songs that he dropped this week that feature my voice as sampled from my podcast. So it's not AI, it's my actual voice. And he combines that with his own music in the background. So everything except the recording of my voice is his work. And it's amazing.

Have you listened to it? You know, I've told you before I'm not really a music guy. So it takes a lot to impress me music-wise. There's something extra going on here that's more than just the fact that it's my voice. So, you know, obviously I like my voice. He's a kid. Been following me for I don't know, a decade or something, a long time. And so I know he's picking up my influence on persuasion, pacing, leading, stuff like that. And I swear to God, I see that in the music.

And so the music hits me different than music, different than poetry, different than text, different than a podcast. Whatever is going on that Akira is doing is music plus. It's not music, it's music plus. I just don't know what the plus is, but you can feel it. You know, you can feel his talent stack. So it's just a wonderful pairing.

Anyway, there's a newer one out. Just look for Akira the Dawn. A-K-I-R-A. There won't be many of those. I think you'll find it on YouTube and wherever you download music.

All right, do not panic. There will be a sip. There will be. I just had planned to have that as my theme song and I wasn't ready.

Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it's the best thing that ever happened to you in your whole life. But if you'd like to try to elevate that experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with our tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass or a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, a jug or a glass of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopa

mine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. I remember when I had hot coffee. It was great. So you missed the, I was talking to the local subscribers before the real podcast started and I was telling them that I'd been complaining about the bad quality of my coffee warmer and one of my beloved subscribers on Locals sent me a new o…
