Ever want to go back and revisit your middle school years but as your adult self? Yeah, the hosts don’t either. Along the way they encounter carpooling, that one annoying teacher who wants to be best friends with students, the meaning of U Gis, dial-up modems that make Ronnie horny, the erotic novella Sleepwalker by Adam Donovan now on sale via Amazon download, librarian Christmas presents, Ace Ventura, “Goody Two Shoes” by Adam Ant, uncut penis, gel pen legibility, cast list drama, hell week, vanity projects, educational spaces, first kisses, and friend fights.
Exit ticket: Justin brings an article from Newsweek where a teacher wouldn’t give another chance with a student over late work. The trouble is that the teacher went to Reddit for advice and it went viral. The hosts have some ideas on how this mess could have been avoided.
