Jared and Mike bid farewell to MAGA legend Scott Adams, who died of cancer at age 68 on January 13, 2026, with a special installment of their "Who the Hell?" biographical series.
Adams was one of the earliest breakout MAGA influencers, gaining attention for his early support of Donald Trump in 2015 and his pseudoscientific explanations of his cultural rise. The "Dilbert" comic strip creator remained true to form until the end, hawking self-help books and broadcasting his insecurities to the world.
This episode traces Adams' career arc as a successful cartoonist (to the best of their knowledge), paying special attention to his creepy comments about women, racial grievances, pseudo-intellectual ramblings, and crusade against "loserthink." Adams considered himself a great writer — "as luck would have it."
Adams wasn't stupid. He’s smarter than us!
Jared's album recommendation: Madison Cunningham, Ace, 2025
