Real Coffee with Scott Adams

## ☕ 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.

### Help keep the School growing

If you’re watching and enjoying the show, **take two seconds and help us out**:

* 👍 **Hit the thumbs-up.** It tells the platforms that people actually want to see this show.
* 🔔 **Subscribe and ring the notification bell** so you know when class is in session.
* 📣 **Share the show with somebody who would enjoy it.** Every new viewer helps us keep building what Scott asked us to continue.
* ☕ And if you watch us regularly, whether live or on replay, **thank you.** You showing up is what keeps this community alive.

### Join us on Locals

For more of the Scott Adams community, including **subscriber-only spaces and conversations**, join us at **ScottAdams.Locals.com**.

The annual membership works out to roughly **19 cents a day**. For less than whatever mysterious substance Starbucks now charges $8 for, you can be part of Scott’s subscriber community all year.

### A few classroom rules

* **Be kind and respectful** to the hosts, guests, and everyone in the chat.
* We have a **Scott Adams moderation team** watching the conversation. Debate ideas vigorously, but personal attacks, antagonism, or making yourself the story can earn a mute or block.
* **Language can get spicy.** This is not kindergarten, although some days the news does its best impression of it.
* Check out the **official Scott Adams merchandise** while supplies last.

Grab your coffee, tea, Diet Coke, or suspicious morning beverage of choice and get ready for the **Simultaneous Sip**.

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

🇺🇸 **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 us Wednesday.

A few reminders for the chat:

• **Be kind to each other.** Disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks are not.
• Don’t make yourself the story. The **Scott Adams moderation team** is watching the chat and will step in when necessary.
• Please keep things respectful toward the hosts, guests, and everyone watching along with us.
• As always, expect some **spicy language and adult conversation** from time to time.

And if you enjoy the show, please **like, subscribe, share, and hit the thumbs-up**, including those of you watching on replay. It really does help more people find us.

🛍️ **Official Scott Adams merchandise is selling quickly**, so if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, grab it while supplies last.

Thanks for spending part of your Labor Day with us.

Grab your coffee, get comfortable, and welcome to **The Scott Adams School.** ☕️🎓

**The Scott Adams School** is hosted by **Erica, Owen, and Marcella**. Erica serves as **Executive Producer and Lead Host**, Owen as our **News Correspondent**, and Marcella as our **Legal Co-Host and expert**.

To preserve his privacy, Owen appears on screen using an image rather than on camera. Scott Adams was fully aware of and comfortable with that arrangement.

# ☕ The Scott Adams School — Friday, September 4, 2026

**Happy Fri-yay!** The Home Team is back to close out another week at **The Scott Adams School**.

Today we’ve got a little bit of everything, because apparently the news refused to behave itself:

🔥 An update on the **Lindsay Clancy trial**
🤦‍♀️ **Ryan Reynolds**… what are you doing now?
🚕 Have you seen the new **Tesla Cybercab?** Because… amazing.
👀 **Meta/Facebook is at it again**
📊 The latest **jobs report** and what the numbers actually mean
📺 And seriously… **what are they doing with my Maria Bartiromo?!**

Plus whatever other stories, rabbit holes, persuasion lessons, reframes, and general Friday nonsense we stumble into along the way.

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

### A Friendly Reminder About the Chat

We want this to be a place where people can disagree, laugh, argue ideas, and still enjoy hanging out together.

The **Scott Adams moderation team** is actively watching the chat. Personal attacks, insults, or antagonizing the hosts, guests, or other people in the chat will not be tolerated.

You can disagree with an idea. You do **not** need to make another person the target.

Keep it smart. Keep it fun. Keep it respectful.

⚠️ **Also: occasional spicy language may occur.** We are adults discussing the news. Sometimes the English language requires its premium vocabulary.

### 🎉 Saturday After Party

Don’t forget to join **Owen Gregorian tomorrow on X** for the Saturday After Party. It’s always a great time and a fun way to keep the conversation going after the week’s shows.

### 🛍️ Official Scott Adams Merchandise

Check out the **official Scott Adams merchandise** while supplies last and help support the work we’re continuing here.

And please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, and hit that thumbs-up** whether you’re watching live or catching the replay. It genuinely helps more people find the show.

We appreciate everyone who spends part of their morning with us.

**Welcome to The Scott Adams School. Let’s get into it. ☕**

# 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.

Disagreement is welcome. Debate is welcome. Different opinions are welcome.

**Antagonism and personal attacks are not.**

The **Scott Adams moderation team is actively watching the chat** to make sure our hosts, our guests and, just as importantly, **everyone participating in the conversation** is treated respectfully.

If someone becomes personally insulting, hostile or repeatedly antagonistic toward a host, guest or another person in the chat, the moderators will act accordingly.

Challenge the argument. Question the idea. Offer a better frame. Just keep it respectful.

We want people to come here, have their coffee, enjoy the conversation and leave the chat better than they found it.
