Would I Lie to You? Teacher Edition — Truth or Complete Rubbish?
Would you know if your co-host was lying to you? Tisha and Rick borrow the brilliance of the British panel show Would I Lie to You? for a no-guest, just-for-fun episode — each tells a story from their life, the other interrogates them, and then they make the call: true, or complete rubbish?
The stories get wild fast. A hundred copies of The Exorcist's Regan hidden around a high school classroom. A Warhammer figurine superglued to a kid's fingers before school. A student left behind on a certification field trip. A screwdriver welded to a live light switch. Twenty speeding stops before 18 — and only one ticket. A microwave pizza explosion. And a bonus round: 23 famous people met completely by chance, from George W. Bush to New Kids on the Block.
Along the way there's a Man United vs. Liverpool whiteboard prank, some Tisha maths, a very strict dad, and a bit of neurodivergent honesty — including why Tisha calls it before Rick's even finished, and why she thinks seeing famous people as just people comes down to how her brain works. It's a great game to steal for your classroom, too: creativity, critical thinking and the art of questioning, all in one.
Keep score at home — neither of them does as well as they think. Tell us in the comments which story fooled you.
