Real Coffee with Scott Adams

🎓 The Scott Adams School — Friday, August 21, 2026
Good morning and welcome to The Scott Adams School!
It’s Friday, and the Home Team is back together to close out the week the right way: with the news and clips we didn’t get to during the week, a little catching up, and whatever rabbit holes decide to join us this morning.
Grab your coffee (or whatever you’re having) and join us for the Simultaneous Sip.

Please like, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and share the show. Those small actions really do help keep The Scott Adams School going and this community together.
A quick note on the chat: Be kind. No personal attacks. Leave the chat better than you found it. Spirited disagreement is welcome; turning the room into a miserable experience is not. Let’s keep it useful, fun, and worth reading.
⚠️ Language and clips may occasionally be spicy. You’ve been warned. Opinions expressed are our own.
And don’t forget to grab your official Scott Adams merchandise while supplies last. Once some of these items are gone, they may be gone for good. Ask for the link in chat or find it pinned on Erica’s X page (@ZiaErica). Yes, that includes the highly sophisticated piece of modern textile engineering known as the Simultaneous Swaddle.
Thanks for showing up, for the support, and for helping keep Scott’s lessons, humor, and community alive.
Let’s see how it goes today.
Class is in session. ☕

**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 she’ll be back tomorrow.

As always, please **like, subscribe, share the show, and ring that notification bell.** It really does help us keep the Scott Adams School growing.

And a friendly reminder about the chat: **our guest professors are joining us because we invited them into our School.** Questions and respectful disagreement are always welcome, but please treat our guests with the same courtesy you’d show someone invited into your home. Keep it thoughtful, keep it fun, and leave the chat better than you found it.

⚠️ **Language may be spicy.**

And don’t forget to grab your **official Scott Adams merchandise while supplies last**, including the highly important, possibly civilization-saving **Simultaneous Swaddle**.

Grab your coffee and join us for class. ☕

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 accomplished before anyone technically has to call a poll “wrong”?

And then there’s one of Scott Adams’s favorite observations: **What about that roughly 25% of people who seem to be wrong about absolutely everything?** 😂 Mark may finally have some explaining to do on behalf of his profession.

We’ll also get Mark’s take on the upcoming primaries, what the numbers are telling him right now, what the media gets wrong about polling, and plenty more.

Owen returns tomorrow!

💬 Keep the chat fun, useful, and friendly. Disagreement is welcome. Making everyone else miserable is not a personality.

🌶️ Language and clips may occasionally be spicy.

🛍️ And don’t forget the **official Scott Adams merchandise**. Supplies are limited, and once some of these items are gone, they’re gone. Yes, this includes the highly sophisticated piece of modern textile engineering known as the **Simultaneous Swaddle**.

Thanks for being here and helping us keep Scott’s lessons, ideas, humor, and community going.

**Welcome to The Scott Adams School.** ☕

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. 😏

We’ll also catch up on whatever news demands our attention along the way.

**Marcela returns tomorrow**, so the Home Team will be back together again!

As always, thank you for joining us and helping keep the Scott Adams community going. Please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE the show with a friend, and ring the notification bell** so you don’t miss us.

And please help us keep the chat fun and welcoming. Disagreement is perfectly fine. Personal attacks, spamming, and making everyone else miserable for sport are considerably less charming.

⚠️ **Language and clips may occasionally be spicy.**

And don’t forget to grab your **official Scott Adams merchandise while supplies last.** Once some of these items are gone, they may be gone for good, so if you’ve been eyeing something, now would be the time. And naturally, every respectable household needs a **Simultaneous Swaddle**.

Grab your coffee, get ready for the Simultaneous Sip, and welcome to **The Scott Adams School!**

# The Scott Adams School — Monday, August 17, 2026

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.** Sure. Why not. Let’s see where this goes.
* Plus whatever other news, clips, science, AI, nonsense, brilliance, or general weirdness wanders into the classroom before the hour is over.

As always, **please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE the show** with a friend. Ring the notification bell, give us a thumbs-up, and help us keep building the community Scott created.

Please keep the chat **friendly, useful, and fun**. Disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks, endless fighting, and making the chat miserable for everyone else are considerably less charming. Leave the place better than you found it.

And, as always, **language and clips may get spicy.** We make no promises about maintaining delicate sensibilities before lunchtime.

Don’t forget to grab your **official Scott Adams merchandise** while supplies last. Once something is gone, it may actually be gone, so this is not the moment for your usual human procrastination. And yes, you still need a **Simultaneous Swaddle**.

Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s start the week together.

**Welcome to The Scott Adams School.**
