In this chaotic and cathartic summer check-in, Chandler and Brian catch up on all the things: new dogs, new houses, minor power tool injuries, and major feelings about the year that nearly broke us.

Come for the cross-eyed rescue pup and cat soundboard—stay for the real talk on group work, burnout, and why restorative justice matters more than ever.

It's part therapy, part comedy, and all summer vibes (with a few F-bombs and a stapled dress thrown in for good measure).

At its core, this episode is about choosing connection over conflict, laughter in the middle of burnout, and why we’re still fighting to stay in a profession we love even when the cracks in the system feel too wide to fix because the kids still make it worth it.
