They landed an actual university dean to help them sort out this week’s episode, Dr. Elise Hepworth. Listeners may know her better as the person Ronnie co-directed two high school musicals with tales previously shared in other episodes. Well this time they're looking at the college experience through the lens of admin and the spot on yet bonkers interpretation of Sandra Oh and Jay Duplass in The Chair. It’s time to secretly record your professor and see what happens. There’s also a rating of college campuses, getting drunk at the airport, professors in their 80s, ghosts of dead poinsettias, Joan being a great wing-man, riding in cars with students, not checked what’s on your screen before plugging it in for the class to see, the joy of Canvas LMS,PBIS Crypto, being asked to smoke a joint with the principal, Daisy Dukes in winter, Ronnie’s C in American Humor, Title VI not IX, the name “Dafna,” what the hell is a distinguished lectureship, rewarding kids for bad behavior, why getting drunk at faculty events is a bad idea, student protests, and Rufus Wainwright.

 Exit ticket: This summer a Texas A&M student secretly recorded a professor, and there was zero fallout from it. Just kidding, it frightened college professors across the country. The panel has thoughts.
