    Roseanne

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text!  (S3E9 "Bird Is the Word" & S3E16 "Home Ec") We get into Rosanne Barr before she became a racist Trumper in this week’s episode. How does she handle a suspension and a field trip? How does Dan handle it when DJ is bullied at school? Will you be surprised with “not well”? Well you shouldn’t be. In addition to that there’s Aunt Gladys, French cuisine made with dryer sheets, school picture chaos, parents excusing bad behavior, Anne Murry, OSS v ISS, Ronnie changing the oil in his car, the Liberty Fire Department changing Ronnie’s tire, bad moms, Publisher’s Clearing House scams, getting banned from McDonald’s, the price of Twinkies, throwing rocks at gorillas, corn flakes, Epstein’s meatloaf, why sending letters home to parents never works, saying Trevor was handsome, ransom notes, job shadowing a Real Housewife, and loose meat. Exit ticket: A Reddit user has a field trip from hell and it gives us all PTSD. How can a trip to the aquarium go awry? Justin and Ronnie find out.  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show

    Extra Credit: Student Paper or AI Paper?

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text! Ronnie and Justin respond to some listener emails including a saucy romp with a professor in the 70’s, a teacher who’s writing some curriculum for a social/emotional learning program, a teacher who is addressing their school board about sex education, and a college student who’s refusing to participate in a unit on diverse literature because of Jesus. Then Ronnie and Justin read a professor’s decision to respond to students overusing AI for composition papers, followed by a little experiment. They read two college entrance essays and attempt to determine if any were written by AI. And as always they reveal the first piece of media they will cover for the spring trimester.  Here’s a copy of the essays we read to determine if any, one or both were written by AI: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfnE5cMsXSnpHYUVVFSJ5lbfFOyrq2RMxuGOmZlvn6Y/edit?usp=sharing  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show

    Weapons!

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text! A witch has come to a school district and creates havoc in this week’s film. And by a witch this time they aren’t talking about a mom for liberty. How will the district respond to seventeen missing students? Well there’s Hilary’s pizza parlor basement again, Resident Evil, celebrating missing kids in class, a Dunkin’ Refresher, tweakers, a principal making a bad choice to have a parent assembly, bubble gum vodka, CPS, a teacher stalking a student, junk food, prop comedian Carrot Top, school shootings, the Barbarian tie-in, how districts deal with grief, eyes bugging out of heads like Rodney Dangerfield, the importance of taking PrEP after getting a needle stick, parasites, bad wigs, learning voodoo, and showing your cooter via a karate kick to automatic doors. Exit ticket: It’s the trimester Andy Cohen “Rose and Thorn” ceremony with a look over the winter semester. Ronnie has a three way tie for first and one thorn. Justin has a three-way.  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text! For once, both hosts have read the book AND watched the movie before this viewing, so they have some opinions of poor Charlie. They’ve been poor Charlie. The freshmen year of high school and found friends are explored as well as passing around dirty books, cafeteria culture, a*****e shop teachers, Pizza Hut candle making, Caroline Leavitt again, Grimace, crushing on Paul Rudd, The Smiths, the world taking an internet time out via aliens, Greg from Succession, “Come on Eileen,” having pot for the first time, Jessica Kirson, movies with girls who stand up in moving vehicles, zines, The Beat Generation, our Rocky Horror dress up picks, our mixtape picks, how dumb Secret Santa is, a student who flunked a class three times, girl bullies of gay kids, the word “grandbabies,” who was really responsible for Charlie kissing Sam, having older friends and David Bowie’s “Heroes.”  Exit ticket: A student with mental health issues got a law passed allowing students to take mental health days. These weren’t days to get caught up on school work, but rest days that allow students to see therapists or to have a reset. Some teachers aren’t pleased.  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show

    Napoleon Dynamite!

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text! Praise be, Joseph Smith, for the LDS approved Napoleon Dynamite. Mouth agape. Plastic boondoggles in hand. And let’s learn some hip hop dancing. Yes, it’s time to discover rural schools in Idaho with these weirdos. Bow to your sensei, then there’ll be some tetherball, action figures being hate-crimed, Aspergers, racist principals, Susan Dell serving Annabelle realness, Mac’s mom, quesa dillaz, “Your mom goes to college,” Johnson County women in the round-a-bout, ASL Amy Grant, the banging wagon, pay-per-minute AOL, a cake for Caroline Leavitt, portraits from hell, gagging on hard boiled eggs, Big League Chew, a time machine dildo, FFA milk, La Fawnda, a drag king, cargo tots, herbal tits, a Stephen Miller pinata, the dreaded STUCO election skit, Jamiroquai again, eat your ham and your wildest dreams coming true.  Exit ticket: Ronnie found someone who needs advice on Reddit. They have a weird kid in their rural school with two administrators who won’t do anything about him. He’s like Napoleon but an a*****e who is heavily leaning into being an incel. Good thing Ronnie has experience having a January 6th apologist in class once.  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show

    Back to School!

    Got a question or comment? Send us a text! Ronnie picked the worst movie in the three years they’ve been doing the show and has little remorse. Both hosts are pleased that Rodney Dangerfield is no longer with us. Well, they discover what being a re-entry student who has untapped wealth would do to a college campus which includes Sam Kinnison screaming, fat phobia, DXL shopping, Melon Patch Kids, Adrian Barbeau’s tits, handing towels to men in Speedos, clit paintings, a meatball and deviled eggs sandwich that would make Ronnie’s husband hurl, Lou the live-in companion, Robert Downey Jr’s hair, college lawn frisbee, Cobra Kai, building codes being violated in dorms, Jim and Tammy Baker, jumping off the high dive, women fawning all over a 65 year old man with bug eyes, dating your English professor, a Business teacher’s beard, Edie McClurg’s back from Carrie, Oingo Boingo, Jason’s inconsistency with his father, the audition room from Flashdance, the return of the Dylan Dylan contest, the Triple Lindsay Buckingham, and a graduation speech freeze frame that was the only funny part of the entire movie.  Exit ticket: Justin has some stats on what motivates re-entry students to return to college. And it’s not just to mess up the curve on tests.  Plant SlutsA cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botanyListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show
