PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! - https://bit.ly/43BquPd
This week I’m talking about the grading spiral that made me question my entire career, the wild field-trip confessions my five-year-old brought home, and the absolute unhinged energy that middle schoolers bring into any art room with a blank sheet of paper.
And the voice memos? Oh, they’re next-level. One features a crime scene so disgusting I almost logged off my own podcast. The other… well, let’s just say a substitute made a choice that will go down in school-wide legend, and not in a good way.
Plus, I’m climbing up on a hill I fully expect to die on, and it involves legal loopholes, teenagers, and why this country needs to get its act together.
Takeaways:
The surprisingly delicious St. Louis food that healed my pre-show stomach disaster.
How a grading pile-up turned into a full-on identity crisis.
Why elementary crushes feel like Shakespearean monologues now.
The most unhinged classroom vandalism case I’ve ever heard—and the wild “investigation” that followed.
The legal hill I did not expect to die on this week… and why I’m standing on it anyway.
