SF public schools have been closed since Monday as teachers have gone on strike. The issues being wrestled with are complex, and we didn't get here overnight. Former School Board president Lainie Motamedi joins us to share her perspective, and shares her insights on how we can make things better going forward. A can't miss episode for understanding an issue that is affecting tens of thousands of parents across the City.

The reading material at Fun Police headquarters is reviewed. A few Movie suggestions are made as well, before we get to the meat of the matter: 2026 political predictions. Special guest (and San Francisco Democratic Party Executive Director AND Fun Police fact checker) Bobak Esfandiari helps flesh those predictions out. Come for the hot takes, stay for Sharky's rant at the end.

Our 2/3 hungover hosts go through the events of 2025 and determine what the biggest stories and people of the year were. We discuss all the greatest hits, speculate as to what might have caused the more toxic elements of our local politics to be somewhat less toxic this year, bandy about the hidden upsides for neighbors of the Safeway Marina project, and close with a fun idea that would really make things lively in our lovely City on a lunar basis.
