Real Coffee with Scott Adams

# The Scott Adams School | September 3, 2026

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

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 where the conversation takes us from there.

We’ll also cover a few other news stories making headlines today because apparently the world remains stubbornly unwilling to give us a slow news day.

☕ Grab your coffee and get ready for the **Simultaneous Sip**.

### 💬 A reminder about our chat

We’re incredibly grateful for the community that continues to show up here every morning.

We want the Scott Adams School chat to remain a **friendly, interesting and respectful place** for everyone.

# The Scott Adams School | Wednesday, September 2, 2026

☕ **Grab your coffee and join us for the Simultaneous Sip!**

Today on **The Scott Adams School**, Erica welcomes **Thomas Corbett-Dillon** to the show for the very first time!

Thomas is a British political commentator and former adviser to Boris Johnson who has become an outspoken voice on what is happening politically and culturally across the United Kingdom.

And Erica is joined today by returning guest co-host **Kyle Becker**!

🇬🇧 **What is happening in the UK... and should Americans be paying attention?**

Thomas is going to give us the view from Britain: what has changed, what people are experiencing on the ground, and most importantly, **what lessons the United States should be taking from what is happening there right now.**

We’ll talk about the UK, immigration, Islam, free speech, culture, politics and wherever the conversation takes us.

We have Thomas Corbett-Dillon and Kyle Becker together. We’re not pretending we know exactly where this one is going. 😏

# ☕ The Scott Adams School — September 1, 2026

**Happy September!** 🍂☕ It’s the first day of September, and the **Home Team** is back at The Scott Adams School with another wide-ranging morning conversation.

Today we’re bouncing around the news cycle with a little **Iran**, the latest surrounding **Lindsay Clancy**, **truckers**, **Massie dropping Epstein names**, and plenty more.

As always, grab your coffee and join us for the **Simultaneous Sip** as we look at the stories of the day through the lenses Scott taught us so well: persuasion, framing, pattern recognition, and occasionally asking, “Wait…what exactly are we looking at here?”

## A Note About Our Chat

We love that this community has become part of so many people’s morning routine. We want the chat to feel like a place where you can have your coffee, talk about the show, disagree with each other, laugh, learn something, and enjoy the company.

**Disagreement is absolutely welcome. Disrespect is not.**

A small number of people have developed a habit of responding to nearly everything with personal snark, insults, cheap shots, or comments designed to make themselves the center of attention. That changes the experience for everyone else, and we’re not going to let a few people hijack a community that thousands of others enjoy.

**The Scott Adams moderation team is actively watching the chats.**

If you personally attack or repeatedly disrespect a **host, guest, moderator, or another member of the community**, you may be **muted**. You’ll still be able to watch the show, but you won’t be able to participate in the conversation.

**First offense: temporary mute.
Second offense: you may be permanently blocked from the channel.**

This isn’t about demanding agreement. Argue the idea. Challenge the premise. Tell us why you think we’re completely wrong. That’s part of what makes the School interesting.

But if your contribution is consistently hostility, personal sniping, or making the chat about you, this probably isn’t the room for it.

**Be interesting. Be funny. Be skeptical. Be opinionated. Just treat people like human beings.**

## ❤️ Help Support the School

If you enjoy spending your mornings with us, please **LIKE and SUBSCRIBE**. It makes an enormous difference in helping new people discover the show.

And **share The Scott Adams School with a friend**. There are worse ways to start a morning than coffee, conversation, a little persuasion, and a Simultaneous Sip with Scott and some of his favorite people.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone watching live, catching the replay, and leaving thoughtful comments afterward. We read far more of them than you probably realize.

Thank you for continuing to show up, participate, and help us keep the community Scott created together.

☕ **Grab your beverage. Get comfortable. And let’s have a Simultaneous Sip.**

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.

☕ **Simultaneous Sip!**

## 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.

Plus, whatever other stories find their way into the conversation before we call it a week.

### A Note About the Chat

We want The Scott Adams School community to remain a place where people can disagree, debate, joke around, and still treat one another like human beings.

You are absolutely welcome to disagree with a host, a guest, or another person in the chat. **Personal attacks, insults, and repeated sniping are not permitted.**

The Scott Adams moderating team is actively moderating the chat. If you personally attack or insult a host, guest, or fellow viewer:

**First offense:** Your account may be temporarily muted. You will still be able to watch the show, but you will not be able to comment for a period of time.

**If it happens again after you return:** You may be permanently blocked from the channel.

Everyone here is here for the right reasons. Debate the ideas. Disagree with the opinions. Just treat the people respectfully and help us keep this a friendly, interesting place to spend the morning.
