In this episode, Mandy on the Mountain dives into all the things school never taught us — from quicksand fears and TV-cart trauma to Capri Sun battles, feral childhood survival, and the one skill that actually prepared us for adulthood. (Hint: it was red, it bounced, and it stung.) This is a hilarious, relatable Gen-X walk down memory lane blended with Appalachian truth, real-life lessons, and a reminder that if you survived dodgeball… you can survive anything.
