Every NYC teacher has a horror story — but this one starts with a parking meter.
In this episode, Matthew, Brugge, and Robert tackle the ultimate urban educator struggle: finding a parking spot in New York City. From 4:30 AM commutes to warehouse parking hacks, $200 lots, and alternate-side madness, the trio shares hilarious, relatable stories about how teachers navigate one of the most stressful parts of their day — getting to work.
Along the way, the conversation takes some wild detours (in true teacher fashion):
- AI-illustrated children’s books like “Grandpa Sneezes Trains” and “Wing It”
- Bird encounters and the mysterious NYC pigeon curse
- Writing and acting on subway rides
- Fried watermelon and fair food adventures
- Teacher burnout, SEL, and life balance
What starts as a talk about teacher parking nightmares turns into an honest, funny, and heartfelt look at the teacher experience — where humor, exhaustion, and creativity all collide.
