☕ **The Scott Adams School | Manic Monday**
**Monday, October 19, 2026**
The home team—Erica, Owen, and Marcela—is together to kick off another week, and the weekend gave us plenty to unpack. Apparently, the news did not observe our days off.
Today we’re talking about France, Macron, and the protests happening there. What might it mean for us here, and how do we reconcile what we’re seeing without letting the headlines take over our lives? Maybe Scott can help. We’re turning to his perspective for a little grounding amid the noise.
Plus, Senator Elissa Slotkin earns our **“Loser of the Day”** discussion as we examine her recent remarks and ask whether the people warning about political intimidation are practicing a little of it themselves. We’ve also got more news, clips, and the home team’s takes on a very busy weekend.
Grab your coffee, settle in for the **Simultaneous Sip**, and let’s sort through some of this together.
❤️ **We’re grateful you’re here.** Getting to show up every day, spend this time together, and keep the community Scott brought together connected means so much to us. Whether you join us live or catch the replay, thank you for making us part of your day.
