This episode starts with Beau remembering the time his eighth grade math teacher pulled him out of line, reviewed the substitute teacher’s bad report, and told him, “You’re not passive, you’re not aggressive, you’re not passive-aggressive… I don’t know what you are, but I don’t like you.”

Naturally, this becomes a Teacher Appreciation episode.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about Miss Bell, Period 3, middle school trauma, his mom’s 30+ years in education, why teachers are playing the long game, and how investing in students often works more like compounding interest than instant gratification.

Somewhere between educator appreciation, family reunion memories, a Florida Aquarium trip, Big Lu’s first round of golf, a sandhill crane getting absolutely involved in the shot shape, Brett taking a golf ball to the rear, Bonnie Jean’s, Wombos, and the theological importance of long-term investment, this episode lands on a simple reminder: teachers matter, investment takes time, and you may not see the fruit immediately.
