WEBVTT - Teachers Are Doing What After School? 

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi, Hi, roomies,

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>we are calling a loft meeting. My favorite thing to do.

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>My favorite thing to do is to do these loft

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>meetings with you. And they don't exist without you. So

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>thank you for sending in your emails, your videos, your

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>voice nows, your photos, all your weird questions and theories.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes these loft meetings happen. Okay, first we

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>have an email from Laura. Hi, guys, I adore New Girl,

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>my first ever comfort show and the pod that helps

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>me get through the day. Well, that's nice writing in

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for the first time. Is I feel super qualified to

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>help you with your question about adults dating when they

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>work in schools. My name is Laura. I'm from England

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and have worked in a lot of different schools. Let

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>me tell you, oh, Laura, I feel this. Let meet juicy.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you they are wild. It's worse than

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>high school stafford dating each other and sleeping together and

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>having affairs everywhere you look. It's a weird phenomenon, but

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>one that mostly stays hidden from students. I have been

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>saying this, of course. It is. It's like, you know,

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>teachers are like wonderful and caring and and young, and

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>they're put in this you know space where they're meeting

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>other young, caring adults. And if they're both single, I

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>mean it makes sense that teachers would end up with

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>each other. Keep saying this, Okay. I never really got

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>into any of that, but did meet my partner when

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>we both worked in a school. Our colleague set is

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>up and I met the love of my life. We

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>have both moved into different jobs, but for a while

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to love going to work, even though it

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>was a horrendous job. Because of him. We would play

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>around in a non obvious way, share lunches, and stay

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>late to finish work together. He made every day so

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 1>special and I think it proved our love as I

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>would happily spend all day at home and work with him.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>This is so sweet. We thought we were being super

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>secret and hid this, but then one day our office

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>haed men left a relationship disclosure form on our desks.

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Apparently everyone knew. All we had to do was sign

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a form declaring our relationship, what it was, how long

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 1>it had been going on. I can imagine this part

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 1>is awkward if you break up or don't know what

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you are like coach. Yeah, are we dating? Are we not?

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Are we just hanging out? What's going on? It's a

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>lot more common than you think. I know a lot

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.119
<v Speaker 1>of staff who end up marrying each other. I hope

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this help. Thank you for always bringing joy to my day.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Take care of Laura, Laura. This was very helpful. It

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>also was very validating because this is what I think

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>is happening in a lot of schools, and I'm okay

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>with it. I'm all right with it. I guess I'm

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>also only all right with it in this sense that

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 1>these are like true love relationship that don't in anyway,

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, cause a teacher to be really upset seeing

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>their ex around school where they're also supposed to be

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>teaching children. So I can, I guess, get complicated if

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it all the way through. But in my

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>romantic brain, it just seems lovely, all right. Our next

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.839
<v Speaker 1>email is from Darcy. Hi, Hannah, I know you love

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>when cats and babies are named after New New Girl characters.

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>What about a bishop? What? I work for a Catholic church.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>My former boss and good friend became a bishop a

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>few years ago. I was used to calling him a

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>far dave. I assume Friar does it for Friar Dave,

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't know what to call him with his

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>new position. He insists on just Dave now that he's

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>not my boss. But I can't do that. Bishop Dave

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>feels weird and Bishop she doesn't want to say his

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>last name, so it's been redacted. Feels too formal for

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a friend. So my husband suggested Davy the Bitch, and

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>it has stuck. He hasn't seen this show, but he

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.239
<v Speaker 1>thought the name was fun. Oh my gosh, Davy the Bisch.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>You gotta watch New Girl. You got to. There's not

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bishes around. It's also a great nickname,

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>David the Bisch. What do you do a bishop? It

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>feels like Winston would lose his mind if he knew

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that they were bishops now that were inspired by his nickname.

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>That would be like a Winston love thing in an instant.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I love this and I love this suggestion. This is

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm telling you, the power of television shows to

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>infiltrate into real life and to change and shift and

0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>move things in different areas of the world and different workplaces.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Say that you would never think I would never think

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>that New girl would help to generate nicknames in the

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Catholic church. I love this so much. Thank you, Darcy.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, this is from Marita from Brisbane, Australia. Hi,

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Hannah and Lamore, and I was listening to an oldish

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>episode of the podcast the other day. By the way,

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I love that people even go back

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and re listen to the podcast, not just rewatch the show.

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>You like her episode so much? Thank you. It's very

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>sweet because we work very hard on them. I was

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>listening to an oldish episode of the podcast the other

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>day and Hannah mentioned that you see so many cats

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>named Winston come through, but rarely any CC cats. I

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted to introduce to two or three year old baby Cecilia,

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>often pronounced Chia and a terrible Italian accent, just like

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Schmidt in episode one. She is sweet, fun, resilient and loyal,

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>just like Ceci. Thank you for the show on the podcast.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I know you hear this a lot, but it truly

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>is a lifesaver for some people. Sincerely, Marita, Brisbane, Australia.

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>There's something about I've talked about this a bunch, which

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is why you guys send it in, But there is

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>something about the naming of a baby or a pet

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>after the characters of the show, or like from us,

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>from actors, like there's Zoe Kats and Hannah Kats and

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know Lamarne Dogs. It's very sweet. It's

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>a really wonderful thing that people have just connected to

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the show so much and loved it, and that we've

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>become part of like the extended family, that they name

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a family member after us. I don't think there's like

0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a greater honor that anybody could ever give. Anyone's very

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>very sweet, so I appreciate that. And there's a picture

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>she's like a snowy gray cat. I also love the

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>fact that you I think, I think this is what

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you were saying, that you adopted her at three years old,

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>or maybe you got her when she was little and

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>named her because the show's been around for a while

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>named for Cecilia. Then I don't know if it's recent.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>My my brother just adopted a cat that was one

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>years old. I always think it's nice when people adopt

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>cats that are a little bit older and give them

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a home that's really lovely. I so appreciate you listening

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to this podcast for participating in it. For sending in

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>videos and these pictures and telling us your stories. I

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>feel wonderful knowing that teachers are falling in love and

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>following their hearts. Just don't make it messy. Yeah. Thanks,

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.120
