On another side-splitting episode of Crying in My Car, it turns out that Devin's jokes are spreading faster than a wildfire on TikTok! Meanwhile, our special guest, TikTok teacher, comedian, and social worker Tell Williams, has the app completely under his very fancy belt.

Together, in the world of TikTok, we find out that even your car is not a safe haven for shedding tears. We hear the story of a teacher who was warned by admin about a criminal TikTok trend, but alas, it was too late - her car had already been stolen from the parking lot!

Looks like Colorado may have taken the whole 'medicinal' aspect of drugs a little too far. We talk about a drama teacher's rendition of "Meth: The Musical", which turned out to be a major flop. And to top it all off, Devin brings us a top-ten list that'll have you laughing so hard, you'll be crying (in your car).

The Teacher Job Fair

On this episode, Devin Siebold and James Yon will have you crying tears of laughter as they discuss the ridiculousness of school policies for hanging things on the wall. Can we not even decorate our classrooms anymore?

Then, Devin tells us all about headlining the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, and shares the differences he's noticed between teachers in the north and teachers in the south. What does "bless your heart" really mean anyway?

Finally, Devin presents his mock Job Fair, made just for teachers who are looking for their next gig after giving up on the education system. Who wouldn't want to sell Tupperware door-to-door or become a professional cat cuddler?

Tune in for all this and more on Crying In My Car. Because if you don't laugh, we'll cry, in our cars. And let's be real, we've done enough crying this school year so you know what to do!

Buckle up!
