Show Notes
In Episode 8 we chat with the incredible Nancy Chung, aka Fancy Nancy in 5th, to discuss creative classrooms, cultural exchange in Japan, and how humor builds community in schools.
Takeaways: Nancy’s Creative Classrooms: Nancy shares how she designs her classroom to feel like a welcoming second home for her students. Lesson Plan Roulette: Lauran, Jordan, and Nancy hilariously improvise lessons on random topics, like drawing stick figures, making PB&J, and debating pineapple on pizza. Hogwarts Parody: The group creates a magical parody universe with houses like Gryphonor, Hogglepoof, and Reubenclue — and the school of Piggy Farts. Teaching in Japan: Nancy discusses her trip to Japan, comparing their education system to the U.S., including a surprising two-year maternity leave policy. The Power of Humor: Whether through TikTok or teaching games, humor plays a huge role in making classrooms fun and engaging. ---

More from We Are Fine
What started as an experiment somehow became a time capsule—of squirrels, tangents, and a lot of laughs. In this Season 1 finale, we reflect on our favorite moments, how Jordan went from podcast novice to certified co-host, and what it’s like podcasting while five months pregnant. There’s a lot of love, a lot of nostalgia, and yes—one final showdown over household temperatures. Plus, why this podcast might become the most chaotic baby diary of all time.
In Episode 21, our special guests Josh and Lauren Monroe join us and things go full retail nightmare. In this chaotic episode of Escape Womb, they face off against a haunted appliance, a passive-aggressive 7-foot greeter, yogurt-covered toddlers, and a store manager so powerful, he can deny refunds with a sigh. Oh—and did we mention Nala the therapy dog is officially retiring? It’s funny, heartfelt, and absolutely unhinged.
In Episode 20 we are joined by the hilarious by Educator Andrea for a wild rewrite of 1850 Los Angeles history. As Pio Pico and Arcadia Bandini, they’ll bribe senators, blackmail rivals, and maybe—just maybe—accidentally start a war. It’s land barons, chaos, and corruption... with a side of fries. And if you think they’re the good guys? Think again.
In Episode 19 we continue the saga to Benedict Scramblebatch! He is back—this time, facing his biggest challenge yet: Project Batterstorm, a sinister plan that threatens the entire coffeehouse industry. Will he survive an underground brunch war? Will Crumlord finally be toast? And most importantly—who is truly pulling the strings behind Project Batterstorm?
In Episode 18 we finally shares the big news—we're expecting! We open up about the joy, anxiety, and emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy after loss, reflecting on our journey from heartbreak to hope. Plus, I share how they broke the news to our family and my students!
