PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! - https://bit.ly/43BquPd
In this episode, I’m unpacking how something as innocent as kombucha sent my entire life into chaos… how my own child managed to humiliate me in public with the confidence of a man three times his size… and why I found myself saluting a complete stranger at a gas station like we’d been through battle together.
Plus, your stories this week? Unhinged. We’re talking ski masks, mystery backpacks, “not again” from a school counselor (which is never the phrase you want to hear), and one of the wildest parent–interpreter–admin conferences I have ever imagined.
And because I can’t help myself, I’m also taking a moment to climb atop a hill I’m fully prepared to die on, one that every creative, teacher, and comedian should probably hear.
Takeaways:
The kombucha incident that nearly destroyed my dignity and a mom-and-pop gas station bathroom.
How my child chose a random truck driver as his “best friend” and shared my darkest secret.
A ski mask mix-up that absolutely no administrator wants to explain.
The classroom situation that made a counselor say, “Not again…”
Why bitterness has no place in comedy—and what I’ve learned from watching others rise.
