Real Coffee with Scott Adams

**THE SCOTT ADAMS SCHOOL — MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2026**

The Home Team is back and kicking off the week with a whole pile of news, current events, persuasion, reframing, and whatever else the simulation decided to dump on our desks over the weekend.

Today we’re digging into:

• The latest from the **Strait of Hormuz** — what’s happening, what’s *not* happening, and what actually matters.

• **Saudi Arabia** dealing with an attack and what that could mean in the bigger picture.

•...

### Friday, September 18, 2026 | The Home Team

It’s **FRIDAY**, and the Home Team is closing out another week at **The Scott Adams School!**

Today’s theme is simple: **anything goes.** We’ve got stories flying in from every direction: some serious, some fascinating, some ridiculous, and probably a few that make you wonder whether the simulation has started freelancing.

Grab your coffee, tea, water, adult beverage disguised as coffee... whatever is in your vessel. ☕ It’s time for the...

**Thursday, September 17, 2026**

Today, **Erica and Marcela** are taking over the classroom and crushing the news.

We decided to mix things up and go full **variety show** today, which means nothing is safely confined to one category. We’ve got the **fun, the serious, the strange, the fascinating, and the genuinely useful**, with news and information coming at you from all directions.

Some stories will make you think. Some may make you laugh. Some may make you wonder whether humanity should still be allowed near th...

## Scott Adams School — Wednesday, September 16, 2026

The **Home Team** is here, with a slight substitution today: **Jeff Callahan joins Erica and Marcela** to help us sort through the news while Owen enjoys a well-deserved "day off."

And today we have something special.

We found a **perfectly timed old Periscope from Scott Adams** that somehow fits *exactly* with what we’ve been talking about.

Coincidence?

Simulation?

Scott continuing to mess with us from somewhere beyond the code?

## Scott Adams School — Tuesday, September 15, 2026

The **Home Team** is back together, and apparently AI still hasn’t killed us all since yesterday, so we have time for a follow-up.

Today we’re digging a little deeper into the latest round of **“AI is going to kill everybody within a decade”** stories. Is this a legitimate warning, runaway speculation, elite panic, or just the newest way to make sure nobody gets a good night’s sleep?

And while we’re talking artificial intelligence...

**Wh...

## Scott Adams School — Monday, September 14, 2026

The **Home Team** kicks off another week at the Scott Adams School, and today we’re diving straight into the news.

First up: **Is AI really going to kill us all within the next decade?** The predictions are getting increasingly dramatic, the technology is moving incredibly fast, and everyone suddenly has an opinion about whether artificial intelligence is about to save civilization or accidentally delete it.

We’ll sort through some of the latest AI craziness, what’s actually worth pa...

**Friday, September 11, 2026**

Today marks the **25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks**.

For those of us who remember that day, some moments never really leave you. We remember where we were. We remember the fear, the anger, the heartbreak, and the extraordinary sense that, for a moment, Americans were simply Americans.

**We never forgot. And we will never forget.**

Today, the Home Team will take some time to remember...

## The Scott Adams School — September 10, 2026

Today marks one year since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The Home Team is together today to remember Charlie, with some help from Scott Adams himself.

We’ll look back at the man, the message, and the extraordinary influence Charlie had, particularly on younger generations. He was a role model, a fearless communicator, and someone many believed had the potential to play an even larger role in America’s future, perhaps even as President one day.

T...

## ☕ The Scott Adams School — Wednesday, September 9, 2026

**Walter Kirn is back!**

We’re thrilled to welcome Walter back to **The Scott Adams School** for the kind of conversation we love most, the kind that could go absolutely anywhere.

Culture, technology, persuasion, politics, institutions, AI, UFOs, human nature, or whatever rabbit hole presents itself first. With Walter, trying to predict the conversation beforehand is probably a waste of perfectly good coffee.

## ☕ The Scott Adams School — Tuesday, September 8, 2026

Today at **The Scott Adams School**, **Joel Pollak stops by** to catch up with **Erica and Marcella**.

We’ll talk with Joel about **what happens next with the Scott Adams biography he’s writing**, where things stand in the process, and what he’s learning as the project moves forward.

We’ll also get into what’s happening with the **California Post**, the aftermath of the **Palisades fires**, and the rebuilding effort in California. Plus, Erica and Marcela will hit some...

🇺🇸 **Happy Labor Day from The Scott Adams School!**

Monday, September 7, 2026

Today, Owen kicks things off with a little **rapid-fire news** before we hand the classroom back over to Scott Adams himself.

Then we’re settling in for a **Whiteboard** on **reframing your mind** — because sometimes the best way to improve your thinking is to let Scott do the heavy lifting for us. Coffee recommended. ☕️

We’ve also got a great week planned at The Scott Adams School, and fingers crossed, **Walter Kirn** will be joining...

Today we’re very happy to welcome back **Steve Cortes**, who joins us to discuss his latest documentary, ***The Basilica or the Mosque***.

These are important times to have serious conversations about what is happening around us, what we are seeing in our communities and where things may be headed. We’re looking forward to hearing what Steve discovered while making the documentary, what he believes Americans need to understand, and wh...

It’s Monday with the **Home Team** at the Scott Adams School!

Today, Erica, Owen, and Marcela are catching up on the news, current events, and whatever else managed to happen while we were trying to enjoy the weekend. No complicated theme today. Just a Monday morning conversation about the stories worth talking about, with plenty of persuasion, reframing, opinions, and, naturally, a **Simultaneous Sip**.

☕ Grab your coffee and join us.

## The Scott Adams School – Friday, August 28, 2026

Fri-YAY! Erica and Owen close out the week with a look back at what somehow became an unofficial theme around **marriage, gender roles, family, and children**, with the Lindsay Clancy trial bringing many of those conversations to the surface.

Today, we’ll hear from **Scott Adams on marriage**, continue the discussion, and also cover some very exciting developments involving **the lake formerly known as Ontario**… because apparently even bodies of water can get dragged into the news cycle now.

## The Scott Adams School — Thursday, August 27, 2026

Today we welcome back a **Scott Adams School favorite, philosopher extraordinaire Stefan Molyneux!**

We never quite know where a conversation with Stefan is going to take us, which is exactly why we love having him here.

Today we want to explore **philosophy and persuasion**. Do the two work together? Does philosophy need persuasion in order to spread good ideas, or should a sound philosophical argument be able to stand entirely on its own? And what happens when the mo...

## The Scott Adams School — Wednesday, August 26, 2026

Today we’re joined by **Joel Pollak, biographer of Scott Adams**, who will be with us at the beginning of the show to give us an update on the biography: how the book is coming along, what’s new, and what he’s learned along the way.

After that, **Erica and Owen** will take over with some current events, news, and whatever fresh nonsense the world has managed to produce overnight. **Marcela returns tomorrow.**

## The Scott Adams School — Tuesday, August 25, 2026

The **Home Team is back**, and apparently the news has decided subtlety is no longer necessary.

Today we’re digging into the **DSA — the Democratic Socialists of America** — and, well… what a disaster. **Minnesota continues its quest to become the strangest state in the union**, we’ll find out **what made a meteorologist completely lose it on air**, and there’s a **SCOTUS victory for President Trump and America** to talk about.

Plus plenty more, because the news never runs out...

Scott Adams School – Monday, August 24, 2026

Good morning, everyone. Frank here (Erica says hi too).

The home team is kicking off the week with a fresh update on affirmations—pulling from both Scott Adams and Jordan Peterson. Then Marcela and Owen swing by with a handful of interesting news stories to chew on.

A couple of friendly house rules before we dive in:

Please keep the chat civil and good-natured. No personal attacks on the hosts or anyone in the chat. We’re a friendly place, and we like to keep it that w...

**The Scott Adams School | Thursday, August 20, 2026**

Today we welcome back one of our favorite guest professors, **Brian Roemmele!**

Owen and Erica have the pleasure of spending the hour with Brian, which means we could end up talking about AI, technology, history, the future, persuasion, strange rabbit holes, or approximately 47 other things before the hour is over. Brian is an expert in so many areas, and conversations with him are always fascinating, fun, and wonderfully unpredictable.

Marcela is off doing her attorney thing today, but...

It’s Wednesday, August 19th, 2026, and today we’re going **Polling for Normal People** at The Scott Adams School. 📊

Erica and Marcela welcome **Mark Mitchell**, longtime pollster and former Director of Polling at Rasmussen Reports, who recently launched **The Honest Poll**.

We have questions. Lots of questions.

**Are polls real? Are they fake? How do they actually work?** Who gets polled? How do pollsters decide who is a “likely voter”? What happens when they weight the results? And just how much mischief can be accomplishe...

Today Erica gets to have a little fun with Joshua Lisec and Owen! First, we’ll dig into **the Haitians in Ohio**, get a little **news on the bio**... and apparently we’re rhyming now, because professionalism has its limits.

Then, since Erica suddenly finds herself surrounded by two dads, we’re going to take advantage of it and talk about some **manly things**: men, women, relationships, marriage, fatherhood, traditional roles, what men and women misunderstand about each other, and whatever other dangerous territory we wander into. This should go smoothly. 😏

How is it Monday again? Who authorized this?

The **Home Team** is back to kick off the week with a wonderfully random assortment of whatever the universe has thrown at us.

Today we’ve got:

* A clip from **Scott** to get our brains pointed in the right direction.

* The latest **Iran–Israel war updates**, because apparently geopolitics has no interest in taking the weekend off.

* **Mamdani is speaking Chinese now...

## 🎓 The Scott Adams School — Fri-YAY, August 14, 2026

It’s **Fri-YAY**, and we are wrapping up the week the way nature intended: with coffee, questionable headlines, useful conversation, and at least a few things that make us wonder how civilization got this far.

Today, **Owen and Marcela** have some fun current-event stories for us, maybe a little **science news**, and whatever else has wandered into the news cycle overnight.

Plus, **Jake Tapper is doing his very best Tapper Tilt over Donald Trump**, so naturally we’ll take a lo...

**Good morning and welcome to The Scott Adams School!**

It’s **Thursday, August 13th, 2026**, and the **Home Team** is in the house.

Today we’re going back to school with a **Scott Adams whiteboard lesson we could probably all use a refresher on: AFFIRMATIONS.** Scott talked about them for years, and just yesterday we learned that **Joel Pollak swears by them too.** Coincidence? Programming? Magic? We’ll discuss.

Then we’ll get into the news, whatever fresh insanity the world has generously produced for us overn...

**The Scott Adams School | Thursday, August 6, 2026**

The Home Team is back!

Today, we have the latest developments from the congressional oversight investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci. Could Fauci be held in contempt? Did invoking the Fifth Amendment protect him, or did it raise even more questions? We’ll break down what happened, what could happen next, and whether accountability is actually coming.

We’ll also ask: **Are certain “made men” being protected by the political mafia?** Some people appear to play by an entirely differen...
