☕ **The Scott Adams School | Friday, October 2, 2026****The Home Team: Closing Out the Week!**Happy Friday! 🎉 Erica, Owen, and Marcela are together to close out another fun and amazing week at The Scott Adams School.Wednesday’s happiness whiteboard lesson with Scott, along with some genuinely good news, helped get us over the hump. Today, we’re bringing a little of everything to the table as we head into the weekend.**First, a correction:** Yesterday, we played a video presented as a high-speed train in Japan. It turns out the footage was sped up, and the clip was misleading. Erica got duped. They got me, folks—but we’re correcting it here. Apparently, the fastest thing in that video was the playback setting.Today we’ll touch on a range of news stories, including reports of an alleged hijacking involving an Israeli plane. Owen and Marcela have stories to share, and we’ll see where the conversation takes us. With this crew, there’s always a scenic detour.Above all, we’re grateful that Scott gave us a place to keep gathering—to sip coffee, exchange ideas, laugh, and spend our mornings with friends. Whether you watch live, join the chat, quietly sip along, or catch the replay, thank you for being here. We appreciate you more than you know. ❤️👍 Please give the show a thumbs-up, like, subscribe, and share—all that juicy stuff helps keep this community growing!**Official Scott Adams Merchandise**📅 **2027 Commemorative Dilbert Wall Calendar**https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HGZQC4FY📅 **2027 Commemorative Dilbert Desktop Calendar**https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HGYSF2X2☕ **Official Coffee with Scott Adams Mug & Simultaneous Sip Swaddle Blankets**https://www.emblempromos.com/sr/3918384**A friendly reminder:** The views expressed on this show are our opinions.

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?

## Tuesday, September 29, 2026 — Steve Cortes ReturnsOne 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.

## MONDAY MADNESS — September 28, 2026The 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.

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.
