What's the key to telling any good story? A hook (and not the pirate kind). Caitlin and Jenny are here with the info that you need to write a killer cover letter, complete with extension recommendations. You get schooled on the best candy in the world and how to help your toddler put their shoes on the correct feet, too.

As you well know by now, Caitlin and Jenny are teachers. They love to laugh, they love to learn, and they love to help their students get to those "Aha!" moments. And y'all... teaching is HARD. It's an underappreciated profession. And sometimes, the best way to get through those rough teaching days is with laughter. So for this year's Teacher Appreciation Week, we're sharing some of our favorite gems from inside the classroom. We're also recapping our episode on teacher gifts, in case you're looking for some inspo to spoil a teacher in your life. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to all of the teachers out there -- we love you!

CK: I don't know how to beer. Do YOU know how to beer?
GK: Um, I kind of know how to beer...?

Thankfully, the boys from the Beers With Dad know how to beer. We get them to talk us through how to feel more confident at a brewery for your next pint. We also play a new game called "Gem, Low, Buffalo" and hear how CK almost gave access to podcast files to a stranger.

Did you know that CK stans Mariah Carey? And GK sometimes sings along (loudly) to the music of The Carpenters? (She doesn't do it for this episode -- you're welcome.) We also talk about Chuck Norris's infomercials and magic. And, for our listeners who wish to honor a mother figure in their lives, here's your bulletin: Mother's Day 2022 is May 8th. If you're planning to honor a mother figure in your life this year (yourself or someone else), we've got some friendly advice on how to make it happen.

Baseball starts in TWO DAYS, y'all. CK brought her father-in-law, Mike Capps, to talk baseball. Mr. Capps, a.k.a. "Cappy," is the voice of the Round Rock Express, the Triple A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, and author of Grinders: Baseball's Intrepid Infantry.

In this episode, we bring back our girl Ariella (professional yoga teacher and die-hard Marvel fan) to school us on how to "get into" yoga: what to look for in a practice, important equipment, and how to find the right place(s) for you to get started. There are also some interesting details on how CK used to annoy her BF (now husband) with "The Llama Song," and GK tells us about her family's affection for Meat Loaf.
