Episode 76 is a lightning-delayed Monday night football game, a snake in the locker room, questionable student assignments, and the kind of football-season chaos only Adam and Jack can deliver. 😂🏈 Adam and Jack are navigating one of the strangest weeks of the football season. Jack's team had a game suspended by lightning just six minutes into the first quarter, forcing them to return Monday night to finish the game before turning around for another Friday night matchup. Add homecoming week to the mix, and the normal football schedule goes completely out the window. Adam also shares a story about discovering a snake in the varsity locker room early one morning. What he initially thought was a toy snake turns into a real-life locker room cleanup mission, complete with a paper protector, some choice words, and a debate over whether the little guy might have been a baby rattlesnake. 🐍 The conversation takes another hilarious turn when Adam tells Jack about a geography assignment where a student was asked to research a country other than the United States. The student apparently took a map of the U.S., added a text box that said "Japan," and turned it in. The guys discuss the technology struggles they see in the classroom and how students can be comfortable with social media but still struggle with basic computer tasks.
