PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! - https://bit.ly/43BquPd
This week’s voicemails took me on a ride I did not see coming. First up: a sub walks into a high school on eighties day and witnesses a kid try to smash his phone with weights and somehow sets off the fire alarm in the process. Then another teacher shares a story that starts like a simple math problem and ends in the darkest dad joke ever written on a whiteboard.
Somewhere between bathroom popcorn hustles, entrepreneurial students, and emotional damage disguised as equations, we unpack why teachers are equal parts stand-up comedians and hostage negotiators.
Takeaways:
A substitute teacher’s unbelievable day: a phone, a dumbbell, and a fire alarm.
The student-run popcorn speakeasy that actually made money.
The eternal mystery of why schools shut down every student side hustle.
A math lesson that turned into an emotional roast of one missing dad.
Andrea’s take on why chaos might actually be a sign of creative genius.
