Dilbert creator Scott Adams warned that his Thursday podcast might be his last.
Adams opened his podcast explaining how he’s now having difficulty staying awake, and that his exhaustion and slurred voice have nothing to do with any medication. “Today’s going to be a tough one,” he said. “Because I fell asleep about five times just getting ready” for the show.
Adams announced his prostate cancer diagnosis last May, and that the cancer had already “spread to my bones.”
At the time, he wasn’t certain he would last the summer. He did. But earlier this month, he announced his chances of surviving were now down to zero and that he expected to “transition” sometime in January. Since then, he’s become noticeably weaker.
For the next 30 minutes of his Thursday podcast, Adams went on with his regular routine, where he runs through the day’s headlines and offers his thoughts, which have been insightful and unique enough to earn him a huge following outside and on top of the Dilbert fan base.
In the show’s final minutes, however, Adams said, “As of today, based on how I feel, I don’t know if there will be a show tomorrow or ever again. If I feel better, there will be.”
He added, “If I feel the way I felt today, this might be the last show. But I don’t know that for sure. I’ll probably be fast asleep two minutes after I’m done here.”
“Thank you for all the support, this crazy support,” he said to his fans. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you for letting me come into your home and simultaneously sip with you.”
He then explained why Thursday morning’s show might be his last. “I’ve also been told that my mental acuity is

Cancer is such a terrible think.
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Matthew 20: 1-16
I read somewhere that a good number of men that die over the age of 75ish have some level of prostate cancer that was not detected during life.
Fr Groeschel used to say “ya you can get confession if you plan it out at the end of life, it’ll it works out that way. But I don’t recommend it”
I do that all the time.
As a prostate cancer survivor, I can confirm that. Most men over 70 have some level of prostate "cancer," usually so slow-growing that they die of some other cause than the cancer.
We annihilate cities in a matter of seconds. Why the F*** can’t we kill microscopic cells in the body !?!?

EVERY man will eventually get prostate cancer, if he lives long enough. Some get it earlier than others.
I don’t understand the delay in converting. Trying to time eternity down to the last second doesn’t sound like a good plan.
My thoughts and prayers form Mr. Adams.
As someone who was diagnosed with high-risk Prostate cancer the day before Thanksgiving, it is very sobering to witness the possible outcome of this disease. Fortunately for me, my bones scan and abdominal CT scan showed no signs that my cancer has spread. Now I am just waiting for the doctors to determine the best course of treatment on January 20th.
A few weeks ago I saw a video of a female urologist saying that the best preventative methodology for prostate cancer is to keep using the prostate.
I've noticed this gets more difficult with each passing year.
But so far mine is still working! :)
Sad that Scott feels compelled to stay ‘on the air’ until the very last time. Does he not have any close family, or have his viewers become that family?
Scott mentioned that bone cancer was detected last May.
I would have expected him to be on a constant maintenance dose of fentanyl by now, some eight months later. That’s the kind of pain fentanyl is meant to be used for. Maybe he is on it. Perhaps ‘that’s one of the reasons he’s so sleepy these days.
Scott was a keen observer and commentator on the most pressing social issues of the day, most recently on racism (against whites.)
It cost him, but he has a higher reward for doing so.
“...Why the F*** can’t we kill microscopic cells in the body !?!?...”
A very valid question. Following the money trail would likely provide an answer.
Keep it working! It’s tough going without it.
Coincidentally, I have two friends who are at the end stages of terminal cancer. They both are dealing with their mortality with incredible acceptance and grace. Both have faith but are not overtly religious. But I can see that their faith is a quiet, incredibly deep source of strength for them. I hope that if I ever am in that situation, I can deal with it in the same way.

2nd Corinthians 6:1-2
New King James Version
1 We then, as workers together with Him
also plead with you not to receive the
Grace of God in vain.
2 For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the Day of Salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the Accepted Time;
behold, now is the Day of Salvation.
