Welcome back to Crying In My Car, where your favorite comedic educator, Devin Siebold, and resident parent James Yon, tackle a subject close to our hearts, our stomachs, and our school cafeterias - "The Truth About Unhealthy School Lunches." To kick things off, James tells all about his fresh off-the-stage experience performing for a crowd of teachers and a whole lot of love on the Teachers Do Standup Comedy Tour. A Meanwhile, Devin makes the ultimate sacrifice in the name of comedy. With a throbbing toothache and a sudden appointment with the Tooth Fairy (also known as an oral surgeon), he gets his wisdom tooth pulled before stepping on stage. We're not just about the laughs though. Devin starts getting serious - about salads. After shedding 18 pounds, he's now leading the charge for healthier choices in our Weight Loss Group. And James? He's here to make sure that the journey from fries to fiber is as fun as possible. In our hot-from-the-blackboard Teachers in the News segment: a teacher takes a hard stand against unhealthy lunches, the University of Harvard welcomes an AI professor, a memorial scholarship makes a major financial impact, Las Vegas hires a data research firm to investigate the mystery of teacher vacancies, and a student makes a rather painful discovery about the perils of DIY motorcycling. Then James takes us on a deep dive into the politics of school boards and the role of parents in learning beyond the classroom. Spoiler alert: It's a bit of a drama fest. Finally, we navigate the virtual maze of social media and its impacts on teacher self-esteem. (Pro-tip: No, that Instagram-filtered, color-coordinated, Pinterest-perfect classroom is not the norm!) So buckle up and get ready to chow down on a hearty serving of comedy, insight, and just a dash of wisdom (tooth not included). Here's to laughing until we cry...in our car! -- Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com https://tiktok.com/@devincomedy http://twitter.com/devinsiebold http://instagram.com/devinsiebold Follow James at http://JamesYon.com https://tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy http://instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian
