All right, what's up, everybody? Welcome to Tales of the Foxy Gator.

I'm your boy E.B., from the sports junkies here in Washington, D.C., and again, I'm here

with my guys from Long Island, Vinny and Joe P. Vinny and Joe! What's up, buddies?

What are you guys? Well, good. How are you guys? Good. Everything good.

You guys all heating up. The smokes all gone. Everything's normal.

It's our first midday podcast today. Yeah, it is. What happened? What did we have this evening?

There was, oh, you're going to like dinner again? You're being fancy, Joe.

Yeah, I'm heading out to Greenport. Right. And so, what are you spending a couple days there?

Is that the idea? Just tomorrow. I'll spend it overnight coming back tomorrow

afternoon. Some graduation parties to go to. Oh, you got parties. Yeah. Nice.

And then, Vin, you're already, football's already started, right? You got like some camp

or something this afternoon? Yeah, we started on mini camp on Tuesday. So, we go for four days,

a couple hours, go out there, run around, install some stuff. Good time. Is it actually fun for you

or is it a pain in the bed? Oh, I love it. You love this stuff in the air? Yeah, not teaching.

It is. Yeah. It's great. Yeah. No stress at all. So, so this week, but I'll just kick it off by

telling you guys what my youngest Kate, who you guys know, had her eighth grade promotion.

And I went on a whole rant on air about it. And I felt somewhat bad about it because,

look, if I had, and Vin, you could really speak to this, but if I had to guess, I would actually say

middle school teaching might be the hardest, right? It's really awkward time for kids.

Elementary school, okay, the young and immature, but whatever, you know, the so enthusiastic.

Middle school is a weird time for kids. And in high school, you're kind of moving on,

right? Growing up a little more mature. But middle school, it's really hard for teachers.
