0:00.0	Hey, what's up, it's Joe. Thanks for listening to the podcasts. Before we get into it,

0:43.6	Hello, socialites, and welcome back to the social studies podcast, the podcast where
0:47.4	you study being social by being social. Today's episode is brought to you by parent teacher conferences

1:58.0	But there's so much buffoonery that comes with it. If one parent is late, and God forbid,
2:05.4	it's towards the beginning, they are late, and they still expect 30 minutes of a conference,
2:10.9	and now my conferences for the rest of the day are just shit out the window. Like it's just,
2:17.2	oh my God, I'm having pay-tf stages talking about this to you guys. Okay, or if you were in my case,
