    Ever wonder what happens when teachers go off duty and take on their students' strangest snack combinations? In this chaotic (and stomach-turning) episode of Teachers Off Duty Podcast, Bri, Tyler, and Brandon dive headfirst into some of the most bizarre food pairings ever consumed in a classroom—goldfish and grape jelly, ketchup and yogurt, and even Vienna sausages that should’ve stayed in the can.

    Between uncontrollable laughter, questionable life choices, and Tyler nearly tapping out, this episode is a full-on rollercoaster of tastebud terror. Will they survive? Will they regret everything? And most importantly—would YOU try these snacks?

    But it’s not just about the snacks—this episode is packed with hilarious teacher moments, unfiltered reactions, and a deep dive into the wild world of student lunchroom experiments. From debates over mystery meats to discovering which food crimes are almost tolerable, the crew leaves no stone unturned (or snack untasted). Plus, stick around for some laugh-out-loud classroom stories, unexpected confessions, and the ultimate question—should some of these combos actually be on a menu?

    Tune in for the madness, grab a normal snack, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!

    In this hilarious and painfully relatable episode of Teachers Off Duty, Devin, Leslie, and Jess dive into all the unexpected, bizarre, and downright wild things they NEVER thought they’d do as teachers—but somehow did. From rationing paper like it's gold, hiding during fire drills, to bathroom duty patrols (because vapes are the new contraband), they cover it all.

    They also talk about the strange realities of being younger than some parents, the emotional rollercoaster of classroom dynamics, and the constant battle between wanting to be the “cool teacher” and just surviving the school day. Oh, and yes, they discuss the great debate: rows vs. the U-shape desk arrangement—because, apparently, that's a thing.

    Plus, find out which of them hides during fire drills, who had a secret career as a janitor, and why seating charts are the ultimate form of teacher survival.

    Listen now and let us know in the comments: What’s one thing you never thought you’d do as a teacher… but did anyway?

    It’s that time of year again—Valentine’s Day! And in the world of teachers, that means major school drama. From over-the-top teddy bears to secret admirer mix-ups and students playing matchmaker (for their teachers 👀), we’re unpacking all the Valentine’s chaos that goes down in schools.

    In this hilarious episode, Leslie, Devin, and Jess share their own cringeworthy Valentine’s experiences, debate whether school flower deliveries are actually romantic (or just a flex), and reveal the ultimate last-minute (terrible) gift ideas.

    And if you thought student Valentine’s drama was wild, wait until you hear about the teacher love scandals happening in the hallways. From students trying to set up their single teachers to accidental workplace flirtations, we’re spilling all the tea.

    Plus, Devin finally reveals his tragic history of Valentine’s gifts (spoiler: it involves a Guns N’ Roses CD and lifelong regret).

    Plus, Devin might just have a revolutionary (or super cheap) approach to celebrating Valentine’s Day. 🤣 So grab some chocolates (or a clearance sale box the day after), and get ready to laugh with us on Teachers Off Duty!

  • Nothing Wastes Teachers’ Time More Than This...
    Feb 2 2025
    If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at pointless paperwork, wished for fewer duties, or mastered the art of avoiding staff meeting Q&A sessions—this episode is for you. _________________________________ Grab your tickets for the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour here: https://bit.ly/TODBTCT Check out our MERCH! https://shop.boredteachers.com Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beacons.ai/teachersoffdutypod Send us a voice message: https://bit.ly/3UPAT5a Listen to the podcast anywhere you stream your favorite shows: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69pLuB4cKPCP8UG3eCImfP Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teachers-off-duty/id1602160612 _________________________________ Teachers, we know your time is precious—so why do so many things in education seem designed to waste it? In this episode, we’re diving into the everyday tasks that make us question our sanity. From writing objectives on the board that no one reads, to responding to parent emails asking for information they already have, to the never-ending battle with jammed copy machines—we’re saying what every teacher is thinking. Join hosts Jess Smith , Leslie Rob and Jared Lamb as they vent, laugh, and keep it real about the time-sucking struggles of education. We tackle the absurdity of mandatory newsletters that parents ignore, school-wide announcements that no one understands, and the dreaded moment when you're asked to cover a class during your precious prep. And don’t even get us started on tracking student bathroom visits! Plus, we chatted about how teachers can reclaim some of their lost time, and Jared shared how he eliminated intercom announcements at his school (is he a genius or a rebel?). And of course, no Teachers Off Duty episode would be complete without some hilarious confessions—like which of us may or may not have walked away from a jammed copier without fixing it. (No judgment… okay, maybe a little.) Tune in, laugh with us, and remember: you’re not alone in the struggle!
