Florida Hurricanes, Kentucky Snakes, and Louisiana Lies

Jen is boarding up her house in preparation for Hurricane Ian. She tells us how there is a legend that supernatural forces keep hurricanes out of the Tampa Bay area. They talk about Adam Levine and the unhealthy narrative his story portrays. In Kentucky, snakes are falling from the ceiling, and baby giraffes are actually born at the zoo! There is a high school in Louisiana that brought students to what was advertised as a job fair, but it turned out to be an anti-LBGTQ church event.

Do you have students who are dealing with 'burnout'? What do we do, and how can we deal with student and teacher burnout? Listen to one of our very popular episodes.
Jen and Kim talk about why people smoke toad venom and that you should never steal your son's edible brownies and feed them to senior citizens (especially if he's a teacher).
Also, they give an update on Megan Fox's new engagement ring that is designed to hurt if she takes it off. Yes. This is true.
They tackle something we don't often talk about: student burnout and student refusal.
Kim talks about a book with the teacher binge eating while her students peep into her windows. Finally, Jen tells us the real story of Rip Van Winkle. We learn that you should never drink from a keg given to you by a stranger.

In this episode, we dive deep into two chilling tales from different eras and continents. First, we unravel the terrifying spree of the "Son of Sam," a notorious serial killer who terrorized New York City in the 1970s. Then, we journey back to explore the haunting story of Alice Kyteler, the so-called "Witch of Kilkenny," whose trial in 14th-century Ireland led to one of the most infamous witch hunts in history.

Happy New Year Everyone!!
Jen and Kim welcome the new year with their winter break stories. (Kim gets to the bathroom just in time wearing her new badass boots in Nashville.) Jen talks about the history of teacher shortages. Giving teachers orchids or jeans passes isn't enough of an incentive to stay. They introduce an upcoming new segment where they will be interviewing educators about major topics in education. They also give their opinion on why Peter Pan is an ass, and why Tinkerbell had unresolved rage issues.

This episode is incredibly transparent. We appreciate Michael's candid discussion about his experience as an administrator. He now helps people with financial planning and continues to help people thanks to his inherent knack for teaching, helping, and mentoring.
We ask everyone we interview, "What do you think has to happen for the education system to change?" Michael understands education from all angles and answers some thought-provoking questions.
I am passionate about helping people achieve their personal and professional goals. As a Financial Representative at Northwestern Mutual, I leverage my skills in communication, planning, and problem-solving to provide tailored solutions for my clients' financial needs.

Kim and Jen thought it would be timely to re-release this episode since many Florida teachers are packing up their classrooms to avoid being convicted of a felony for having an unvetted book in their classrooms.
Trigger warning: We discuss sensitive themes including sex and violence that we find in classic literature. We understand that some content is unsuitable for certain ages. However, if one is censoring books, one should be aware of the content in much of the literature that has been on the approved lists for decades. We aren't saying the classics should be banned, but we are proving a point that one must be well-read and well-versed in literature in a holistic manner before one bans books based on excerpts taken out of context. Why can't we choose excerpts from books that don't include questionable content but support our literary instruction?
