Teacher's Bet - S1-E8

Trivia: According to the Pod Meets World podcast, the ethnic slur that Linda is called was originally in the episode's script. Ben Savage had never heard the word before and mispronounced it at the table read. The slur was ultimately removed from the script, likely at the request of the studio, though the different ethnic slur directed towards Shawn strangely made into the episode. Cory later mispronounces "antisemitism" later in the episode, and Will Friedle pondered that Ben's mispronounciation of the Asian slur at the table read was the reason for that.
