From secret school romances to wild parent interactions, hyperbole mishaps, and teacher voice debates, the crew spills it all.

    Bri, Albraden, and Anna get real about what it's like to date inside and outside the teacher world — the coworkers who gossip, the students who always find out, and why online dating feels like grading group projects. They even unpack fake dating profiles, teacher crushes, and the dreaded "teacher voice" moment that shows up off the clock.

    If you've ever tried to balance lesson plans and love life, this one's for you. Grab your coffee, your grading pile, and tune in for the teacher talk that gets a little too real and funny.

Today the crew dives into the viral chaos students bring to school: the infamous "6–7" bit, calling teachers by their first names, Chromebook pranks, paper-dart ceilings, BookTok "lies," and why whispering can be scarier than yelling. We decode slang like "chat, we're cooked," "crash out," "gat," and "wagon," swap pre-K war stories, and admit the moments that made us feel 1000 years old. If you teach, sub, parent, or just love teacher comedy, this one will have you hollering.

    We also shout out the real MVPs keeping us sane: co-teachers, TAs, and paras. Thanks for the snacks, the backup, and the lifesaving Red Bulls. Drop your most unhinged school trend in the comments and tell us which slang your students won't stop saying.

In this episode, we're giving them their flowers and sharing the hilarious, chaotic, and heartfelt stories that prove just how vital they are.

    From "work husbands" who bring chips and Red Bull at just the right time to preschoolers plotting revenge at nap time, the stories are peak teacher comedy. We also talk about parents who overshare, co-teachers who always have your back, and those moments when whispering is somehow scarier than yelling. It's all the daily madness teachers know too well—served with plenty of laughs and love.

    We wrap it up with gratitude and shoutouts to every teacher aide, inclusion teacher, and paraprofessional holding it down every single day. You deserve more credit, more help, and definitely more pay.
