From frogs in desks to vodka in juice pouches—this is why teachers deserve hazard pay.

Classroom chaos hits a whole new level in this hilarious episode of Teachers Off Duty! Leslie Rob, Jess Smith, and Brian Moote swap jaw-dropping stories about the most unexpected things their students have brought to school—from live toads and portable Keurigs to Capri Sun-style vodka pouches and, yes... furry handcuffs disguised as gifts.

They also dive into tattoo street cred, awkward YouTube ads, school tour shenanigans, and what happens when a Great Dane nearly becomes a class pet. Plus, hear how one kid turned his desk into a secret frog habitat for four days.

From navigating awkward student gifts (looking at you, lingerie roses) to the all-too-relatable fear of accidentally projecting your camera roll during class, the crew keeps it real about the highs, lows, and absolute absurdities of teaching today. If you’ve ever wondered how a teacher survives a day with dignity intact after finding out their student has 20 snakes at home—or what happens when a middle schooler brings mini booze pouches to lunch—this one’s for you.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or just here for the laugh-cry moments, this episode proves once again: there’s no such thing as a normal day in education.
