I’m fresh off Teacher’s Lounge shows in Seattle and Portland (cities I was told to fear, but absolutely adored), and Gerry is coming back to work after a winter break so long it fully erased his sense of time, purpose, and identity.
We talk about Pacific Northwest vibes and play a game that asks the important question: is this a student insult… or a Portland restaurant?
Then we pivot into teacher reality: the story of a teacher arrested over a “private” Snapchat, what that means for how we vent, joke, and exist online, and why context doesn’t always save you anymore.
We also dive into the grossest things we’ve ever seen in student backpacks, hypothetical snakes in classrooms, science teachers with emotional-support lizards, and the hills we are absolutely prepared to die on as we stumble back into the school year.
PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — https://bit.ly/43BquPd
The restaurant names that made me question reality in Seattle and Portland.
Why “private” messages aren’t actually private and what teachers need to consider now.
The backpack discovery that permanently altered my brain chemistry.
How different teachers react to wildlife in the classroom (and why some people scare me).
The workday expectations that make absolutely no sense after a long break.
