A recent recipient of a doctor that's right dr j p gerald joins us today a recent recipient of a doctorate

what's that all about yeah i have a doctorate in education oh yeah my name jacobie gerald um you left out

the b so everything's over but oh no i always call you I always call you, JPM, too.

I know.

It's my name on the Discord.

But anyway, yeah, so I got that for an education recently.

And I focused my research on sort of the intersection of racism and education,

but also ideas about language because I was originally

a language teacher, like an ESL teacher for about eight years. The job was boring. I was very bored.

I kept talking my wife's ear off, which I still do, but it was worse than it is now. And she said,

why don't you get a whole doctorate and leave me alone?

But, you know.

So you got a doctorate just to appease your wife.

I mean, she nailed it.

Not only that, it started.

And then I kept talking.

And she's like, why don't you have a podcast instead?

And so I started a whole podcast.

Wow, she's a genius. Just just soak it all up.

Yeah. And then all the individual classes I taught about like race and so forth the last couple of

years is because I kept talking about it. She said, why don't you teach a class? That's awesome.

Yeah. So never as annoying your wife been channeled into so much greatness.
