**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!

## 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.

## ☕ 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:
