I reached out to some friends about what they would like to hear on this podcast. The best tip I received was to do an episode about tipping. Before we begin I have a tip for you - listen to the episode two times, and you'll start to see the scales tip in your favor as you understand more and more.

I think I've covered all the tipping puns so if you're feeling tipsy by now I totally get it. Without further ado, let the games begin! We are ready for tipoff.

There's few situations quite like learning - or teaching - how to drive a stick shift, or manual transmission. Maybe how to operate a parachute after jumping from the plane is close. But my Mom did it. She taught me how to do this hard thing, but it's not so much the mechanics of the driving that I remember most. It's how she taught me that I treasure the most, and it's those same principles I have used in tutoring for 25+ years. So jump in with us in our 1993 Honda Accord stick shift, and buckle up... because I'm driving. Hold on!

Last episode was so happy and blissful. This one? Sad, because of this thing called payroll deductions. And the IRS crashes your paycheck party. But the silver lining? All this somehow relates to the distributive property, which is a pretty big deal in math.

Break free from your - or My - Dear Aunt Sally, and see what there is to learn about the distributive property. You probably already have used the idea before somewhere in life but didn't know it had a fancy name in math. Let's see how it works with a few examples.

There is nothing about Taylor Swift here, sorry to disappoint. But we do have room for groupies! OK, OK yes it is about grouping... numbers... in math problems. But it's still gonna be fun. Bring a piece of paper, a pen and your hiking boots. Don't ask, just listen.

Since you already listened to the last episode, you know that repeated multiplication is represented by an exponent, and you already knew repeated addition was multiplication. But what is repeated division? I just know you were wondering about that. You are in the right place, my friend.

Listen, learn and be amazed.
