Your next storyteller is Adrian Holguin. Adrian is a high school math teacher with 29 years of experience in the classroom and an improviser with 30 years of experience making stuff up on stage, but he assured us that this story stuck to the rules and was totally true. Adrian shared this story in front of a socially distanced outdoor audience at EXDO Events Center—while wearing a mask, which you may notice—in August 2020. The theme of the show was “Curves.” 

Special thanks to The Milk Blossoms for today’s outro music.

Episode 160: Today’s story comes from Adrian Holguin, an actor and educator who is currently in his 25th year of teaching high school mathematics—a truly superhuman feat. This story was recorded live on 21 February 2018 in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Warning Signs.”
