Theo interviewing normal working class people are always his best podcast episodes!

[PerkyinParks]

I've had the pleasure of working with Miss Melissa for the last 10 years and an lucky enough to call her my friend as well. She is the person that cheers up the whole staff when they need it, not just the students. The opportunity to speak on behalf of her profession couldn't have come to a more deserving person.

[coltonroark]

Considering 99% of people who listen to these podcasts are "regular" people. These episodes are far more relatable.

“I’ve never flown” “so it’s been awhile” 😂😂 I love Theo

[rakii]

Her laugh got Theo questioning exactly how funny he really is 😂😂😂😂

[agoosoriano]

I highly doubt they could’ve gotten a more perfect lunch lady than her to do this interview. What a sweetheart and a character.

[marshallkarl]

This lady is the pinnacle of what a lunch lady is supposed to be. Straight out of The Simpsons😂

[ralphchavez]

People like Miss Melissa are the salt of the earth. Finding joy in life and spreading the joy theyve found to everyone they meet

[davidl]

Give this woman a voice acting gig. The world needs this laugh

[jacksonkeeting]

Her laughing hysterically at a hundred references that went straight over her head is the best😂😭

[patravinci]

Whoever is responsible for bringing these two together… deserves a raise.

[RedArtistx]

She's iconic. The combination of those glasses & earrings, the voice, the laugh - iconic.

[Wanderlei]

Theo breaking the cirklejerk of these comedians/podcasters with some real people is just what the world needs.

[returnovthemac]

Theo not being the most unhinged person in the room is…new. Lmaoo I love this lady.

[actualsnow]

"Do a lot of janitors come by the lunch room and tryna holler" 😂😂💀

[steveballiet]

As a teacher of 25 years and suffering from burnout, this wonderful lady recharged my batteries big time. What a blessing she is

[Inspireandbeyondco]

This lunch lady is the PREMIUM example of what a lunch lady is. Doesn’t get anymore genuine and real than this. Awesome pod

[DrumDisciple]

She goes haha and I’m good but then she and I lose it. Lady’s awesome 😂

[nathanfolkemer]

Min 0 - 3 - Her laugh is killing me.
Min 4 - end - Her laugh gives me life.

[ExitVelocity]

I loved this woman. She was so cool, real, and authentic acting. Loved her positivity and laughter. 👍
