Real Coffee with Scott Adams

## The Scott Adams School — Thursday, October 1, 2026

♎ **Happy Libra Season!**

Today, **Joel Pollak** stops by the Scott Adams School, and we’re always thrilled when he does.

We’ll catch up with Joel on a little bit of everything, including:

- Updates on the **Scott Adams biography**
- What’s happening out in **California**
- How things are going at the **California Post**
- And, naturally… **what’s up with Gavin Newsom?**

We’ll also get into some of the other stories catching our attention today, including **artificial intelligence, science, news, current events**, and whatever rabbit holes the conversation decides to drag us into. As Scott taught us, sometimes the most interesting part of class is the part nobody planned.

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

More than anything, we are incredibly grateful that **Scott gave us this place and this community**, and that we’re still able to meet here together every morning. We appreciate every person who watches live, catches the replay, comments, shares, subscribes, or simply hangs out with us.

Please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE** the show. It helps more than you probably realize.

### A Friendly Reminder

Everyone appearing on the Scott Adams School is expressing **their own opinions**. Discussion, disagreement, persuasion, debate, speculation, and the occasional magnificent tangent are all part of the fun.

And yes, **language can sometimes get spicy.** 🌶️ You’ve been warned.

Please be kind to one another, enjoy the conversation, and remember that we’re here because Scott built something worth continuing.

Thank you for being part of it. ❤️

**Now grab your beverage. Class is in session.**

Good morning, Erica. And yes, the calendar has been consulted: **Wednesday, September 30, 2026.** Humanity has successfully made it to Hump Day. Barely. 😂

## ☕ THE SCOTT ADAMS SCHOOL
### Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | Hump Day Happiness

Who couldn't use a little more **happiness**?

Today, **Erica and Marcella** are pulling out one of Scott's whiteboards for a lesson on **HAPPINESS**. We're going back to Scott's own ideas, talking them through, and seeing what we can still learn from them. Consider it a little midweek brain maintenance.

And because apparently happiness alone isn't enough content for one morning, we've also got plenty happening in the news:

AI had a luncheon at the White House yesterday, and we'll get into what came out of it. There has also been a **Jimothy sighting**. We have something involving a **GIANT BEAR**, JD Vance has an update on fraud, and we're saying **CONGRATULATIONS to Mike Rowe**. Why? You'll have to stick around.

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

And while we're talking coffee, don't forget the official Scott Adams merchandise:

## Tuesday, September 29, 2026 — Steve Cortes Returns

One of our favorite returning guests, **Steve Cortes**, is back with us today.

Steve has a new mini-documentary, **_Danger in the Heartland_**, focused on Wisconsin and illegal immigration, so today we’re digging into the border, immigration enforcement, and the political impact heading into the midterms. The documentary has been circulating this month, including a September 14 appearance discussing the Wisconsin focus. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}

Is illegal immigration the issue Republicans most need to focus on going into the midterms? What is happening at our own border right now, and what are voters actually responding to? We’ll talk through the arguments, the messaging, and the realities on the ground.

And because apparently Earth wasn’t providing enough material, we’re also going to space. **SpaceX’s Starship reached orbit for the first time this week and deployed 26 Starlink satellites**, even though the mission ended earlier than originally planned after an engine issue. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}

We’ll also have some other news, clips, and whatever rabbit holes inevitably appear once the conversation gets going.

**A few classroom reminders:** Debate is welcome. Different opinions are welcome. Being obnoxious is not. We have a moderation team in the chat to help keep things flowing so this stays a place where Scott’s community can relax, talk, laugh, and enjoy the show.

🌶️ **Language may be spicy.** Consider yourselves warned.

Everything discussed here reflects our own opinions and commentary. Do your own research, think for yourself, and make up your own mind.

Please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE** the show. Every click, share, live viewer, replay viewer, and person who keeps showing up helps us continue Scott Adams’ channels, his work, and the community he built. We truly cannot tell you enough how much that means to us.

## MONDAY MADNESS — September 28, 2026

The home team is back, and apparently Monday decided subtlety was unnecessary.

We have **a LOT** to talk about today with the midterms getting closer and the political world doing what it does best: producing more material than any reasonable person could possibly consume before lunch.

We’ll get into **Chamath’s take on Obama’s, shall we say… shitty AI opinion**, plus what the larger AI conversation is getting right, wrong, and hilariously confused.

We’ve also got:

- Updates and discussion around the **reported thwarted terror attack involving a U.S. Air Force base in the UK**
- Some fun clips because we cannot survive entirely on impending doom
- Midterm politics, messaging, strategy, and whatever fresh insanity arrived overnight
- And **EPIC RANTS** from some truly spectacular women who apparently woke up and chose verbal violence. Respectfully.

☕ **CLASSROOM RULES:** Debate is welcome. Different opinions are welcome. Being obnoxious is not. Please be kind to each other in the chat. We have a moderation team keeping things civilized-ish.

🌶️ **Language can get spicy.** You have been warned.

Everything discussed on the show represents **our own opinions and commentary** on news and current events. Do your own research, think for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. Revolutionary concept, apparently.

Please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE**, and help us keep growing The Scott Adams School.

And if you’d like to support the show, check out the **official Scott Adams merchandise**. We’ll post links for the mugs, blankets, Simultaneous Sip bottles, and other goodies.

📅 **The 2027 Dilbert commemorative calendars are officially shipping**, and people have already started receiving theirs, which has made a whole lot of Dilbert fans ridiculously happy. We’ll post the link so you can grab yours too.

Grab your coffee, settle in, and prepare yourself.

**It’s Monday Madness. Class is in session. ☕**

The home team is here to close out yet another week at The Scott Adams School!

Do we know exactly where today’s show is going? Absolutely not. And frankly, that feels appropriate for a Friday.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s see what happens. We’ll talk news, current events, whatever catches our attention, and probably wander into a few places we didn’t plan to go. That’s half the fun.

📅 The new Dilbert calendar has officially been released! You can grab yours on Amazon. Erica will post the links in the chat and show notes.

☕ And don’t forget the official Scott Adams mugs and other merchandise. If you’re going to participate in the Simultaneous Sip, you might as well look professional about it.

A few classroom reminders:

Be kind in the chat. Debate is welcome. Different opinions are welcome. Being obnoxious is not. We have a moderation team keeping an eye on things so this remains a place where Scott’s fans can relax, laugh, talk, sip coffee, and enjoy the community.

Everything discussed here reflects our own opinions and commentary on news and current events. Please do your own research and make up your own mind. We are hosts on the internet, not your emergency legal, medical, financial, or life-planning department.

Language can occasionally be spicy. Proceed accordingly.

Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE the show with your friends, and help us keep growing this community.

Thank you to everyone watching live, everyone in the chat, everyone watching on replay, and everyone who quietly hangs out with us in the morning. We appreciate all of you.

Now sit back, relax, grab your coffee…

…and let’s find out what kind of Friday this turns into.
