Sammy's favorite teacher from highschool, Ms. Erika Wootton, has graced The Shanon Show from Bahrain. We discuss the importance of DODEA teachers forming deeper connections with their students and supporting them in their extracirrcular endeavors. Ms. Wootton shares a hilarious story from her first DODEA teacing experience in Seoul, her side of the famed "Salsa Day" from Sammy's Spanish class, and how Dr. Mowen's arrival changed her teaching career. She also sheds a light on her recent transition to Bahrain and how teachers are looking to fill the social and academic setbacks caused by the pandemic. All of that, and much more, in a jam-packed, 98th edition of The Shanon Show Podcast.

Yannick and Mateo join the show to look back on their favorite memories in Okinawa, share their experiences of moving back to the states, and settle an all-time Preposterous Predicament: Have your entire life be live streamed 24/7 or have a permanent d*ck drawn on your forehead? We also discuss the range in quality of Kubasaki teachers and Yannick's consistent ability to call Mateo while he is on the john. 

I apologize for the poor audio quality on my end, I had the wrong microphone selected. You'd think that by episode 96, I would have this podcasting thing down by now...

Together, they take me back to the day that they first met in Okinawa, as well as, recap their recent summer meet-up in Tokyo. Most importantly, we tackle a preposterous predicament that will unfourtunately jumpstart my tuxedo t-shirt modeling career.

Welcome to Season VII !!  

#theshanonshow #kubasakihighschool #okinawajapan

The Panel of Preposterous trilogy concludes by once again answering life's most complicated questions through the panelists' expertise in preposterity. No "would you rather" is too far fetched and no hypothetical is too irrational for The Panel who has truly heard it all. Watch now for the woes, oh no's, and a little bit of toes. Only on The Shanon Show.

Panelists: Ben Gillen, Peter Gillen, Garrett Lawson, and Grace Gillen

Camden joins the show to detail her efforts in eventually becoming a DODEA teacher, how she adjusted to college life after leaving Okinawa, and an unfortunate homecoming proposal from a freshman student.

Is SHANON a Gent or a Dawg? Over a year after The Trial of George Glover, the two sides reconvene to determine Shanon's fate. Justice Hoppe will ultimately settle if the resurfaced evidence from highschool solidify Shanon's status as a Gent, or overturn him to a Dawg.

In an episode that will likely haunt our future selves, Kenny Burner and Barry B Benson reprise their roles as the guests for the Spooky Special. We draft the best halloween candies, discuss at-length the reality of fighting chickens in cars, and set a new record for most dolphin-censors in an episode of The Shanon Show. We establish that we prefer women in inflatable T-Rex costumes and have a surprise interview with Kenny's friend who is not his roommate. All of that and more, only on The Shanon Show
