Manners, Bathroom Smokers, and the Cult of Amazon Prime

In this episode, Howard Kam tackles three burning questions that perfectly capture the chaos of modern adolescence and adulthood. First, he goes off on why saying “excuse me” and “thank you” has somehow become advanced-level etiquette, and why parents need to stop acting shocked when their manners-less kids behave exactly like them. Then he dives into the age-old bathroom-hotbox crisis in high schools—why it’s not new, why it’s not most kids, and why addiction and escapism deserve more than finger-wagging. Finally, Howard unloads on Amazon Prime and the cult-like devotion to two-day shipping that drains wallets, feeds impulse buying, and fills closets with crap nobody needs. Sarcastic, brutally honest, and filled with tough love, this episode is a three-round rant for anyone trying to navigate kids, classrooms, and consumerism without losing their last shred of sanity.

Starting Over with New Friends, Teaching Dreams, and Teacher Burnout

This episode swings through three real-life panic buttons: a high school senior terrified they’re not cut out to be an English teacher, a teacher in November already mentally on fire and ready to throw a desk, and an adult trying to figure out how the hell you actually build new friendships after ditching the toxic circus. We dig into whether teaching is actually worth it or if it’s just masochism with a retirement plan, why classroom management collapses when you’re running on fumes, and why the “boring” quiet of healthy friendships feels uncomfortable at first because chaos was your comfort food. It’s blunt, it’s messy, and it’s the kind of honesty you don’t get in faculty PD — because faculty PD would absolutely have a meltdown if you said any of this out loud.
