🎄 💥 Ted & Goose Take Over: Holiday Mayhem, Snow Day Roulette & No Dave in Sight?!

This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, Ted and Goose (aka Producer Mark) are flying solo while Dave’s off vacationing — which means one thing: absolutely no rules.

From chaotic holiday songs and questionable Christmas movie logic to the adrenaline-filled rush of snow day roulette, we’re diving deep into the weirdest parts of winter break teacher life. Plus: a Ted’s Time Machine segment all about the golden age of library class — Mavis Beacon, keyboard covers, and the mysterious Dewey Decimal System.

🎧 What to Expect:

– Zero Dave, maximum holiday chaos

– Breaking down the strangest holiday lyrics (why is that reindeer’s nose so bright?)

– Snow Day Roulette™: the teacher version of winning the lottery

– Live updates from the news crawl, school closings, and emotional whiplash

– Ted’s Time Machine throws it back to library class, silent keyboards & typing tests

– Mavis Beacon, card catalogs, and Goose’s obsession with library chairs

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because nothing captures the teacher experience like watching the 5am news hoping for a snowflake emoji next to your school name — or arguing whether “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” belongs in the holiday canon. This episode is cozy chaos, classic rants, and just the right amount of Dewey Decimal drama.

💥 REWIND ALERT! This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, we’re opening the vault to release one of our earliest, most chaotic unreleased episodes — and it’s got everything: DIY bathroom hacks, traumatic school bells, and a strong case for why Oregon Trail should count as social studies.

Come relive the absolute madness of our early pod energy as we dive into the now-legendary “teacher bidet” story, revisit the glory (and gossip) of the faculty lounge, and hop in Ted’s Time Machine for a trip back to minty swish mouthwash and pixelated computer games.

🎧 What to Expect:

– The true origin of Dave’s teacher bidet (it’s worse than you think)

– Faculty lounge etiquette, beef, and microwave politics

– A passionate rant about the exact tone of school bells

– Ted’s Time Machine returns with a vengeance: Swish mouthwash & early '90s tech

– Carmen Sandiego, Oregon Trail, and the golden era of classroom computers

– Unfiltered nonsense from a time before we had any structure (or shame)

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because every teacher podcast needs a flashback episode full of questionable hygiene, nostalgic trauma, and unsolicited opinions on middle school hallway behavior. This is peak early NPD chaos — raw, ridiculous, and kind of beautiful.

💥 This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, Ted and Dave are unsupervised. No producer. No structure. Just pure, unfiltered teacher chaos.

From reliving the emotional rollercoaster that was high school homecoming, to traumatizing flashbacks of the dreaded one-mile run, and even more Ted’s Time Machine nonsense — this episode is a caffeine-fueled mix of gym shorts, slow dances, and bad decisions.

🎧 What to Expect:

– The podcast goes off the rails (we warned you)

– High school homecoming memories, dance floor awkwardness & faculty regrets

– The pain, lies, and misplaced optimism of the 1-mile run fitness test

– Ted’s Time Machine returns with more nostalgic chaos

– Thanksgiving thoughts, chaotic hosts, and no adult supervision

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because everyone remembers “running” the mile and somehow finishing last but alive.

And because sometimes, the best PD is just laughing about your worst gym class memory while two unhinged teachers spiral in real-time.
