Anticipatory Set: What were the different student groups you had when you were in school? Ronnie offers some data from a study on high school hierarchies and where students see themselves from 2023. Were Ronnie and Justin a part of the popular kids? The jocks? Avid listeners already know the answer to this one.

Getting schooled: We’re going back to 1986 where it's the rich kids vs the poor kids and Molly Ringwald has some fashion tips. Can a fun soundtrack of 80s new wave save them from themselves? “What about prom Blane? Just say it!” Ducky tries to save the day but time and time again he comes of as a misogynistic asshole when he really should be coming out of the closet. He does a fierce lip sync for his life, though. Join us for this critique of another high school where the students look to be in their mid-30s and we’re headed to prom in the ugliest dress in cinema history. 

Exit Ticket: What kind of monsters as a class nominate two students with disabilities to prom court as a joke? High schoolers that’s who. But what do you do to the little sociopaths when it’s the majority of the student body? Our hosts have thoughts.
