Summary

The dads talk school boards. Eli starts off with a hilarious but also brilliant tale of how he is vetting candidates in his district. Tom has had some disheartening experiences with his school board. And Thomas has seen the consequences of when a religious nut job takes over a school board. (though fortunately it was not his district but a nearby one)

1:15.3	Okay, Corporal Punishment episode. Let's get into it. I'm actually trying to even figure out what that joke was. I don't know. School board. School, board. That was a great joke, Tom. Taking the board to school. Don't you need two meanings to make a joke? Absolutely you don't. Let's move past that. Let's move past that. God damn. It was an entangra. It was a tondra, if you will. Single entangre. You don't have to take this from him. We're going to be discussing school boards today. We are going to be critical of them. We're taking them to school. You know, oh, gotcha.

2:15.3	Interesting.
2:16.1	All right.
2:16.5	I'm constantly navigating the plus 30 seconds minus 30 seconds thing. Oh, by the way, I mean, if we haven't said that, by all means, skip these stupid ads, you people.
