Summary

Bart accidentally gets Mrs. K fired due an alcohol-related stunt, after she takes away the students' phones. Let's be honest, we're all love pro-Krabappel at this network and firmly believe that no child needs a phone, so safe to say that we were happy to see the back of her replacement Zachary Vaughn.

We also discuss parent-teacher interviews, losing our memories, the cut-throat nature of paying to send text messages, our love of Rodney Dangerfield and more.
