Erica

So welcome to the Scott Adams School, everybody.

Today is Wednesday, April 1st, 2026.

I am Erica, and Marcella's here with me, and we have a special news host joining us today.

It's Kyle Becker.

I know, we're like, how do we get to Kyle?

So Kyle, I had to ask ChatGPT to give me a rundown on you, and I don't know how accurate it is, but I will say you have done a lot.

I was looking-

So you you worked as a writer and associate producer at Fox News, including on Hannity.

Right.

True.

OK.

And that you now run your own news commentary outlets, including Becker News and the Becker Brief Newsletter and the Relentless podcast.

Oh, so we, you know what, we'll put the link into our show notes so we can steer people to that too.

And as I said before, you guys, today is Kyle's birthday.

And when I asked him to come on, I mean, he did not even have, he's like, you know what, let's go.

Like what, what better thing to do on my birthday?

So the other thing too, is I saw that you spent a little bit of time in Russia, which you're equating to having a cup of coffee, a little blip in your life, but that's amazing.

What were you doing there?

uh oil and gas things like that going on nothing nothing too crazy nothing's too crazy okay so and the other thing i wanted to ask you like you're you have a really fun interesting background um so this is what i want to know because you came from like

the corporate news behind the scenes stuff to independent journalism and podcasting where we all sit.
