## The Scott Adams School — Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Today we’re joined by **Joel Pollak, biographer of Scott Adams**, who will be with us at the beginning of the show to give us an update on the biography: how the book is coming along, what’s new, and what he’s learned along the way.
After that, **Erica and Owen** will take over with some current events, news, and whatever fresh nonsense the world has managed to produce overnight. **Marcela returns tomorrow.**
### A little housekeeping
We’ve been asked by **Scott Adams, Inc.** to make everyone aware of the moderation policy going forward.
We love that this community debates, disagrees, jokes around, and has strong opinions. That’s part of what makes the chat fun. But **personal attacks, insults, and snide comments directed at any host or guest will no longer be tolerated.**
Please think of this space the way you would think of being invited into **Scott’s home**. We are his friends, our guests are invited guests, and basic respect is expected.
If moderators see a personal attack or insult:
**First offense:** You will be temporarily muted. You’ll still be able to watch the show, but you will not be able to participate in the chat for a period of time.
**If it happens again after that restriction is lifted:** You may be permanently blocked from the account.
This policy comes directly from **Scott Adams, Inc.** and will be handled by the moderation team. It is not something the hosts will be debating or adjudicating during the show.
We truly appreciate the overwhelming majority of you who come here every day to chat, debate, laugh, learn, and keep this community going. **Disagreement is welcome. Personal hostility is not.**
Please **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE** the show with your friends.
🛍️ **Official Scott Adams merchandise and books are available through the links in Scott Adams’ YouTube bio.** Grab what you want while supplies last.
⚠️ And as always, **the clips, conversation, and chat may occasionally get spicy.** Consider yourself properly warned.
Thank you for being here. We appreciate every single one of you.
