t a persuasion lesson. It's going to be a good one. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's "Coffee with Scott Adams," and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass or tankard…

paralleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it's probably going to happen right now.

Go.

Extraordinary. Delicious. Best ever.

Well, here's the kind of story that you depend on me to bring to you. A very important story. First I'm going to put my clock up here so I don't run over the halfway time. Uh, where would a clock be if you were an app named Clock? There you are. Gotcha. Seriously, the clock doesn't have a clock on it. All right, we'll take it.

All right. Well, there's a story about a woman who was accused of the first crime in space. So, you know, they say that men get all the credit for inventing things.

It's the person who accused the other one of the crime. So the one who was accused is named McClain, but the one who did the accusing, and I'm not making this up, her last name is Worden. W-O-R-D-E-N. So the Worden accused her wife of stealing in space.

Did you need to know that story? You probably could have gone the whole day without knowing that. Nope. Wasn't terribly important, but her last name really was Worden. Didn't make that up.

All right. If you were a cursor and you were on my computer, where would you be? There you are. Gotcha.

But wait, there are more stories. You've probably heard that the Senate has now approved that Epstein bill via unanimous consent. So gue

ss what? It turns out that Congress can pass anything it wants as fast as it wants. Does that make you happy? What have we been doing up to this point? Are you serious? You're telling me that the Congress can do things really fast and very efficiently sometimes but not all the time. So this is the thing that we got right in terms of speed. But the only reason it went fast is because it took us yea…
