PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! - https://bit.ly/43BquPd Teacher besties… this week I brought on one of my favorite chaotic humans: the hilarious Gerry Potoka, comedian, teacher, and man of mysteriously undefined licensure. In this episode, Gerry and I try to pinpoint what he actually teaches, debate whether PE tests are secretly impossible, unpack his “desk art collection,” and discover that his lowercase k is actually a cursive crime. We also react to a voice memo that had both of us questioning the ethics of having “favorite students,” accidentally stumble into a conversation about charcuterie boards and disease vectors, and play a game of Would You Rather: Teacher Edition that reveals way too much about our tolerance for cafeteria behavior. Takeaways: The shocking subject Gerry may, or may not, actually be licensed to teach. Why his lowercase k started an existential crisis in the teacher’s lounge. The voice memo that made us both rethink “favorite students” forever. Kinder field trips vs. middle school dances: the battle of true horrors. A charcuterie board, a stomach bug, and a chain reaction that absolutely nobody survived. -- Teachers’ night out? Yes, please!
