RIP IT! Episode 08 We Don't Need No Education

Hosts Seth and Doug are joined by Kirby, an ex inner-city teacher. They discuss the (occasional) joys and (numerous) perils of preparing students to become our country's future leaders. Topics touched upon include the obvious problems of being a 22 year old female teaching a class full of 17 year old boys, the less obvious perks of catching up with former students later in life, and the ineffectiveness of using sawdust to clean up vomit. Also featured is music from Kirby's band, Kirby V and the Man.

Rip It! was born from conversations held on Brooklyn stoops and Irish speakeasys between friends, drinking buddies, and sometimes total strangers. Hosts Seth and Doug found the conversations alternating between hilarious and mind blowing and thought that they needed to be shared with the world. Thanks to the power of the internet and smartphones, that dream has become a reality, and surprisingly, a global audience has tuned in to hear this 21st century armchair philosophy. Sometimes there are guests, and sometimes it's just the two of them, but the subject matter is always interesting, and usually ends up somewhere completely different than expected. If you're into time travel, breakfast cereals, drunken hijinks, moral dilemmas and general inanity, get your ears and brains ready for a treat. Download, tune in, and Rip It!
