AVIATE. NAVIGATE. COMMUNICATE. Never in my XY+ years of being a professional pilot have there been so many issues with ATC communications; and this includes Reagan firings; ATC floods and fires; facility evacuations; earthquakes; etc.; etc. Controllers are working two and three frequencies; causing missed clearances due to frequency congestion and in this case today; the Tower Controller was so busy that Controller gave a very complicated taxi clearance during the landing rollout at 100 knots and during a pilot-operating change from First Officer landing to Captain taxiing on a wet runway. The reversers weren't even stowed.
Air carrier Captain reported ATC gave a very complicated taxi clearance during the landing rollout at 100 knots.
