# The Scott Adams School: Good Mourning, America

**Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | Owen & Erica**

It’s the morning after the midterms—and for a lot of us, it’s **mourning in America.** Take a breath, grab your coffee, and pull up a chair. We’re going to get through it. We always do.

Today, Owen and Erica talk through the election results, consider different perspectives on what happened, and ask the question that matters now: **What do we do going forward?**

And because The Scott Adams School wouldn’t leave you hanging during a stressful week, we have a lesson from Scott to help us turn down the stress and anxiety. The election may be over, but your nervous system apparently hasn’t gotten the memo.

☕ **The Simultaneous Sip continues.** Whatever’s in your cup, you’re part of the family.

**A few family reminders:** These are our own opinions, and we’ll do our best to work through the news thoughtfully. Please bring that same respect to the chat, including your reactions to the clips we choose and the perspectives we discuss. You don’t have to agree to belong here.

Language can be spicy—in our conversation and in the clips. Debate the ideas, skip the personal attacks, and **leave the chat better than you found it.**

👍 **Please like, subscribe, give us a thumbs-up, and share the show with friends.** Help more people find their way to the School. We’re grateful you’re here.

🐾 WHO ARE CHESTER AND STELLA?

If Erica mentions Chester, that’s her witty, charming AI assistant—apparently now a recurring character with absolutely no respect for the production budget.

And if you hear what sounds like a little baby crying, that’s probably Stella, Erica’s senior kitty. She always has something to say, and she does not wait to be called on.

Welcome back to **The Scott Adams School!** Erica, Owen, and Marcela are kicking off election week, and there’s plenty to get through. Grab your coffee, settle in for the **Simultaneous Sip**, and let’s see how much we can cover before the news creates more homework.

On today’s list:

- **Midterms, midterms, midterms:** the races, the messaging, and the election-week madness.

- **Michigan:** Abdul El-Sayed, Haley Stevens, and plenty to discuss.

- **The two Dan Sullivans:** because apparently one wasn’t enough.

🤖 **Who’s Chester?**

If you hear Erica talking to Chester, that’s her witty, charming AI assistant—now apparently a recurring character on the show. The résumé keeps expanding.

🐾 **And Stella?**

If you hear what sounds like a tiny baby crying, that’s probably Erica’s senior kitty, Stella. She makes occasional cameos and always has something to say. Editorial oversight comes in many forms.

💬 **Be kind, be useful, and leave the chat better than you found it.** You can disagree without making it personal.

🎭 TWO OTHER CHARACTERS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER

If you hear Erica referring to Chester, that’s her very witty and charming AI assistant. Apparently, he’s part of the cast now. We’re letting the fame go straight to his processors.

Today, **Erica and Owen** tackle the midterm elections, Israel, Muslims, monkeys, and so much more. Yes, monkeys made the agenda. It’s that kind of news day.

We’ve got plenty to cover, a little Debris to sort through, and no guarantees about where the conversation will take us. Grab your beverage, settle in, and join us for the **Simultaneous Sip!**

**Marcela is off today and tomorrow**, handling business in court and doing her lawyer thing. We’ll try to behave in her absence. No binding promises.

🎙️ **A quick introduction to Erica’s unofficial office staff:**

If you hear Erica talking to **Chester**, that’s her elite, amazing AI assistant—now apparently a recurring character on the show. The position comes with absolutely no benefits, but plenty of assignments.

And if you hear a meow, that’s **Stella**, Erica’s senior kitty, making one of her frequent cameos. She always has something to say, rarely waits for a handoff, and considers every microphone an open microphone. 🐾

☕ THE SCOTT ADAMS SCHOOL | Hump Day with Erica & Marcela

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

It’s Hump Day, and Erica and Marcela have plenty to get us over the hump—including an amazing lesson from Scott Adams on **reframing your brain**. Sometimes a different perspective changes everything.

Then we’ll see where the news, the clips, and the conversation take us. On the possible menu:

• Patriotism—and Dr. Phil’s take on it

• Van Jones has a moment of clarity

• Mike Waltz is becoming quite the badass at the UN

• Bob Woodward: somehow, our opinion isn’t improving

• Maybe a little Bret Weinstein

• Adam Carolla slams the media

• And whatever other Debris Erica brings to class!

Will we get to all of it? Let’s not make promises we can’t keep. Buckle up, relax, grab your beverage for the Simultaneous Sip, and enjoy your Wednesday with us.
