PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — https://bit.ly/43BquPd

This week I’m talking about the grading spiral that made me question my entire career, the wild field-trip confessions my five-year-old brought home, and the absolute unhinged energy that middle schoolers bring into any art room with a blank sheet of paper.

And the voice memos? Oh, they’re next-level. One features a crime scene so disgusting I almost logged off my own podcast. The other… well, let’s just say a substitute made a choice that will go down in school-wide legend, and not in a good way.

Plus, I’m climbing up on a hill I fully expect to die on, and it involves legal loopholes, teenagers, and why this country needs to get its act together.

The surprisingly delicious St. Louis food that healed my pre-show stomach disaster.

How a grading pile-up turned into a full-on identity crisis.

Why elementary crushes feel like Shakespearean monologues now.

The most unhinged classroom vandalism case I’ve ever heard—and the wild “investigation” that followed.

The legal hill I did not expect to die on this week… and why I’m standing on it anyway.
