00:01:30Check this out, man.
00:01:40They got everything here.
00:01:42All the Joes.
00:01:43Joe Burrow.
00:01:44Joe Namath.
00:01:45Joe Montana.
00:01:47Crazy.
00:01:48Like stepping back in time.
00:01:49Look, there's Joe Cool's card right there.
00:01:52You mean Joe Montana?
00:01:53Nah, man.
00:01:54Joe Burrow.
00:01:55That's Joe Cool's card right there.
00:01:57For what it's worth, Joe Burrow did kind of rip off Joe Montana's nickname.
00:02:01Oh, yeah?
00:02:02Yeah.
00:02:03Joe Cool was Joe Montana's nickname when he played for the Niners.
00:02:07Except unlike the new Joe Cool, Joe Montana backed it up with four Super Bowl rings.
00:02:12Really?
00:02:13Joe Burrow?
00:02:14Take the name just like that?
00:02:16Well, I doubt he did it on purpose.
00:02:19Maybe the Bengals' PR team poached it or something.
00:02:22Is Harrison boring you two with history lessons?
00:02:25Nah, man.
00:02:26We're just talking.
00:02:27All right.
00:02:28Just want to make sure.
00:02:30See, he can be a little too free with a lecture sometimes.
00:02:32Just lectures?
00:02:33That's funny.
00:02:35Yeah, I call him Yaley, because he talks like he's from Yale or someplace or another.
00:02:39But one thing's for dang sure, and the man does know his sports.
00:02:42Hey, you got any baseball cards?
00:02:43Practically the whole Hall of Fame.
00:02:45We even got some of the new guys up today.
00:02:47Otani, Trout.
00:02:49Anyone in particular you're looking for?
00:02:50Nah, just checking things out.
00:02:52Well, we have some up here.
00:02:54You can look around the store.
00:02:56We even got Pete Rose.
00:02:58Poor Charlie Hustle got canceled before there was even a word for it.
00:03:01So I'm interviewed once.
00:03:03What do you mean he got canceled?
00:03:05He got blackballed.
00:03:06They won't let him into the Hall of Fame because he gambled.
00:03:09Gambling?
00:03:10For that?
00:03:11Yeah.
00:03:12Every sport has gaming guys now.
00:03:14That's crazy.
00:03:15It's a little more complicated than that.
00:03:18I think keeping a guy out of the Hall of Fame for that, too austere for me.
00:03:23Austere?
00:03:25What does that mean?
00:03:27It means Harrison's being all Yaley again.
00:03:29No, really.
00:03:31What's it mean?
00:03:32It means too tough.
00:03:34Too hardcore.
00:03:35Got it.
00:03:37Hey, man.
00:03:38We got to roll.
00:03:39Got some cool stuff here.
00:03:41I'll be back.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:42Thanks for the info.
00:03:44Anytime.
00:03:46See what I'm saying?
00:03:48You bored those guys with the elections.
00:03:50Sounded like they appreciated the information to me.
00:03:53Nah, he was just being polite.
00:03:55Next time, just talk like a normal person, all right?
00:03:59So we've got to move some of this merchandise.
00:04:02Yes, sir.
00:04:02Living the life, huh?
00:04:27All the books you can read and no one to distract you anymore.
00:04:36All you've lost is everything else.
00:04:39They've all moved on and moved out, leaving behind the fallen warrior.
00:04:55Well, read up, you warrior of old.
00:04:59Don't bore distractions except your own voice.
00:05:03All right, everyone.
00:05:32Jalen, take your seat.
00:05:34Yes, Jalen.
00:05:35Kennedy is very impressed.
00:05:36Take your seat.
00:05:38Hey, that was rude.
00:05:39I was just getting to the punchline.
00:05:42Oh, really?
00:05:43Well, why don't you share your joke with the rest of the class, Mr. Funny Guy?
00:05:47I can't with all y'all censorship going on around here.
00:05:51We'll tell you after class.
00:05:53It'll bust you up.
00:05:55Nice.
00:05:55I think that's what they call a teaser.
00:05:58Now, before we get started, I did not get any suggestions for next week's seminar.
00:06:02Does anyone have any suggestions for the guest speaker?
00:06:11No ideas for the guest speaker.
00:06:14All right.
00:06:15Well, I'll lead one by tomorrow unless you guys want to do another lesson that day.
00:06:18So, what do you think of asking that guy from the sports card store?
00:06:30To be the guest speaker in Willis' class?
00:06:33Yeah.
00:06:34He seems cool.
00:06:35He likes the thought.
00:06:37Why not?
00:06:38Right?
00:06:39It means listening to her for another hour.
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:41Hey, you want to roll by there now?
00:06:43See if he's up for it?
00:06:44You mean the sports card shop?
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:47Before your practice.
00:06:48Yeah.
00:06:48Let's do it.
00:06:49Let's go knock that out.
00:06:53Hey, man.
00:06:55Welcome back.
00:06:56We got a question for you.
00:06:58I hope I can answer it.
00:07:00Are you challenging me to sports trivia?
00:07:02Or is this an episode of Stump the Clerk at the Sports Store?
00:07:06No, man.
00:07:07We just wanted to see if you'd like to come and speak to our class.
00:07:10Your class?
00:07:11Yeah.
00:07:12Our high school class?
00:07:13Revere High?
00:07:15I've heard of it.
00:07:17One of those elite public high schools?
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:20Something like that.
00:07:21We got small class sizes.
00:07:23Advantages like that.
00:07:25Some people got in through high test scores.
00:07:27I got in through sports.
00:07:29I got in because they felt sorry for me.
00:07:31Disadvantaged.
00:07:33And what is the reason for me speaking to your class?
00:07:37Each month we have a seminar.
00:07:38Our teacher asks us to pick a guest speaker.
00:07:41You know, to come in and talk.
00:07:42Guest speaker.
00:07:46Seminar.
00:07:47At a high school?
00:07:48Bro, the teacher's lazy, alright?
00:07:51She gets to go hang out in the teacher's lounge and play on her phone for an hour.
00:07:56You don't give any quarter, do you?
00:07:58Say what?
00:07:59You call people out.
00:08:00Straight up.
00:08:01Don't you?
00:08:02Yeah, man.
00:08:03Keep it real.
00:08:05Anyway, what do you think?
00:08:06So they just let anyone come and speak for an hour?
00:08:10Gotta let them do a formal background check.
00:08:13You know, so they make sure that you're not some criminal.
00:08:15That you're okay to come in and speak about something going on in the community.
00:08:19I see.
00:08:21Like Jalen said, teacher's lazy.
00:08:23We're lazy too.
00:08:24We get an hour off.
00:08:26Wow.
00:08:27What a compliment.
00:08:28Way to build a guy up.
00:08:30I don't mean it like that.
00:08:31We'll listen to what you have to say, obviously.
00:08:33Obviously.
00:08:34So what do you say?
00:08:35I think I need to mull it over.
00:08:38That's what I think.
00:08:41That's cool.
00:08:42No problem.
00:08:43Why don't I shoot you a text?
00:08:45And you can text me back if you want to do it.
00:08:46Sure.
00:08:48Fair enough.
00:08:49Here's my card.
00:08:54There you go.
00:08:55Just sent it to you.
00:08:56My name's Jalen, by the way.
00:08:58Nice to meet you, Jalen.
00:08:59Harrison Jones.
00:09:00And Mike.
00:09:01Nice to meet you, Mike.
00:09:03But seriously, you got a lot of knowledge about sports and whatever.
00:09:06You could just come in and talk to the class about the store and what it does for the community.
00:09:11Whatever.
00:09:12That's it, huh?
00:09:14That's it.
00:09:15That's the deal.
00:09:16You gotta let them do the background check first.
00:09:18You know, you gotta talk to Miss Willis.
00:09:20Make sure that you're okay to talk to the class.
00:09:23Miss Willis would be your teacher at Revere High?
00:09:26That's the one.
00:09:27The one and only.
00:09:30Look, I appreciate the thought.
00:09:32Like I said, I'd think it over.
00:09:34But I would have to talk to your teacher first.
00:09:37Not that I don't trust you or anything.
00:09:39Nah.
00:09:40It's cool.
00:09:41Understandable.
00:09:42Thing is, we need to know tonight.
00:09:44Cause if we don't give her a name tomorrow, she won't have the seminar.
00:09:49Well, give us one word.
00:09:51Oh, we wouldn't want any learning to happen, would we?
00:09:54Bro, it ain't like that.
00:09:56It's not like that.
00:09:57I meant to say, I know everyone would like you.
00:09:58You're cool.
00:09:59Different.
00:10:00I hope you'll think about it.
00:10:01Let us know, alright?
00:10:02You got it.
00:10:03Hey, are you guys ever going to buy something in here?
00:10:04Bro, you gotta have as much bank as these athletes to buy what you're selling.
00:10:09I don't know, maybe the class could do some crowdfunding or something.
00:10:13I'm kidding.
00:10:14Good day, gentlemen.
00:10:15Later, man.
00:10:17What do you think, Joe DiMaggio?
00:10:18Quite the irony, isn't it?
00:10:20Maybe I should consult the other outfield.
00:10:26What do you think, Joe DiMaggio?
00:10:27Quite the irony, isn't it?
00:10:29Maybe I should consult the other outfield.
00:10:35See you next time, man.
00:10:36Thank you to everyone who turned in your essays on time, I should say everyone except for
00:11:04two of you. Those who didn't, I'll need to see you after class. I'm not going to call you out even though maybe I should.
00:11:09Hey, I was lining up our guest seminar speaker.
00:11:13That's not an excuse. Okay, so who did you come up with for the guest speaker?
00:11:17Guy who works at a sports card store.
00:11:21I see. And why did you choose this great man of the sports world?
00:11:27He's cool. Seriously, he's smart, knows a lot about sports and stuff.
00:11:34Sports and stuff.
00:11:36What's wrong with sports?
00:11:38Nothing. We all respect your accomplishments in that area, Jalen. I'm just trying to figure out how this helps all of us.
00:11:46You said we could invite anyone from the community, right?
00:11:49That's right. So he's going to talk to us about sports.
00:11:53And these cool athletes, their life stories, what it's like working there, all that stuff.
00:12:00You both met him?
00:12:03Yup.
00:12:04I hope you're not inviting him here just to make fun of him, because that's messed up.
00:12:09Nah, it ain't like that. He's cool. Ain't I a good citizen?
00:12:14Okay, that's enough. Have him contact me, and I'll set it up for next week.
00:12:18We'll broaden our horizons and learn a bit more about sports.
00:12:22There you go. That's the spirit.
00:12:26Thank you for the encouragement.
00:12:31Alright, let's get started. Open your books to page 145.
00:12:40How do you come up with these prices?
00:12:42I don't, sir. I just work here.
00:12:43A hundred bucks for a rookie Mike Schmidt. Mike Schmidt? I barely even remember the guy.
00:12:49I think if you look around, you'd find that prices are very competitive.
00:12:52Oh, yeah. Maybe I should look around. I mean, I'm from Philly, and I'm not shelling out a hundred bucks for a Mike Schmidt.
00:12:59Could you afford this?
00:13:02It depends on the person, sir.
00:13:04Yeah, I know that. That's why I'm asking you. Could you afford this?
00:13:08I'm not sure how to answer you, sir.
00:13:11Well, how about an honest answer?
00:13:15Honest answer? No, I couldn't. But I'm not you.
00:13:20Probably life has smiled more upon you.
00:13:24What's that supposed to mean?
00:13:26It means that you probably make more money than me. Is that the answer you're looking for?
00:13:31Never mind. I guess I'll shop online.
00:13:34Sorry I couldn't reel him in.
00:13:40That's alright. You're getting better.
00:13:43Say, uh, are you gonna go through with it? Go give a talk at that school?
00:13:49Yeah, I told them I would. I'd be there.
00:13:52Isn't it wild how they found you like that? Just discovered you right here in this little store?
00:13:57Yeah, some discovery.
00:13:58They don't realize they're in for quite a lesson. And I guess not about sports cards either.
00:14:05True. I'm gonna give them my best for the hour I'm there.
00:14:11Are you worried about how they're gonna react?
00:14:15You mean, to my talk?
00:14:17You know, everything you've been through.
00:14:19Well, I figure I'd just let the chips fall where they may.
00:14:24So when they do a background check, they take all of me. Warts and all.
00:14:30Well, I can tell you one thing. You're one brave dude.
00:14:34Ever tell you I admire you?
00:14:36Oh yeah?
00:14:37Everything you've been through and all?
00:14:40I'm sorry life sent you here.
00:14:42This place is a blessing, a haven for me.
00:14:47And being among all the former greats, it's inspiring in some way.
00:14:53Well, good luck with those kids.
00:14:56And good luck to those kids too, because they have no idea what they're in for.
00:15:06Blessed are you when people insult you.
00:15:11Persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
00:15:18Rejoice, and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven.
00:15:24For in the same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
00:15:29Lord, may you grant me the words to guide and inspire these young people.
00:15:45May you make this last hurrah worthy in your eyes.
00:15:56Amen.
00:15:58All right, everyone, this is Mr. Harrison Jones.
00:16:07Jaylin and Mike met him and were impressed.
00:16:10And Mr. Jones was kind enough to share some of his time with us today.
00:16:13I've enjoyed speaking to him, and I'm sure you will too.
00:16:16But I'll let him introduce himself.
00:16:18But before that, let's give him a big round of applause.
00:16:22Thanks to these two gentlemen for the invitation to your school.
00:16:25Here's what I'd like everyone to do.
00:16:27I'm going to hand each of you a slip of paper.
00:16:30I want you to write down the topics that you want to discuss today.
00:16:34We'll pull out those three slips, and those will be the topics we'll talk about for the hour.
00:16:39Does that sound okay?
00:16:41Here are your slips of paper.
00:16:44Please write your topics on those, and toss them into the cap.
00:16:58All right.
00:16:59Now all I need is a person of impeccable character to choose our topics.
00:17:06How about you? You look honest.
00:17:08Okay, sure.
00:17:09All right.
00:17:12Let's call them out one at a time.
00:17:17Topic number one.
00:17:20Joy.
00:17:22Nice thought.
00:17:24All right.
00:17:28Joy.
00:17:30All right.
00:17:31Number two.
00:17:35Topic number two.
00:17:37Debate.
00:17:39Interesting.
00:17:41A little different.
00:17:42Okay.
00:17:43Let's see.
00:17:44All right.
00:17:46Some debates.
00:17:48All right.
00:17:50And the grand finale.
00:17:53Number three.
00:17:57Topic number three.
00:17:58Patrick Mahomes.
00:17:59Three very different topics.
00:18:08Now that's what I call a variety pack.
00:18:11I didn't catch your name.
00:18:13Oh, it's Gabriella, but I go by Gabby.
00:18:15Thank you, Gabby.
00:18:16Thank you, Gabby.
00:18:18Patrick.
00:18:20I'm just going to put Pat Mahomes, just for short.
00:18:25Mahomes.
00:18:26All right.
00:18:30All right.
00:18:32So, okay.
00:18:34See, Miss Willis left me a seating chart here, so I'll put this to good use.
00:18:39All right, now.
00:18:42Let's see why you chose these topics.
00:18:45Time to fess up.
00:18:47Okay, so who chose Joy?
00:18:51And...
00:18:53Hannah, why did you choose Joy?
00:18:56I mean, it's a good thing to have, right? Joy?
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:00It certainly is, no doubt.
00:19:03I'm just interested in why was that your topic of choice?
00:19:08My beliefs, my faith, tell me to look for Joy and give Joy where I can.
00:19:15Those are beautiful thoughts and beautifully said.
00:19:18We'll take up your topic first in just a moment.
00:19:20And now, topic number two is debate.
00:19:26A little bleep topic, if you ask me.
00:19:30Who chose debate?
00:19:31I did.
00:19:33And why was that your topic, your choice?
00:19:36Well, I'm in speech and debate, and we have a really big tournament coming up this weekend.
00:19:41Man, that's dumb.
00:19:43That means nothing to everyone else, girl.
00:19:45It's not dumb, and don't call me girl, delinquent.
00:19:48Ugh.
00:19:50Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:19:52Gabby, that was a fine topic.
00:19:55Mike, you have a fine head on your shoulders.
00:19:59For one thing, you certainly have a eye for telling though I wouldn't be here.
00:20:02Because you see, you thought I was coming to talk about sports and such, and we'll get into that.
00:20:08But we're also going to drill down some real issues.
00:20:12Things you don't talk about much in school today.
00:20:14We're going to talk about that today.
00:20:17I promise.
00:20:19And now, finally, Patrick Mahomes.
00:20:24Who chose this one?
00:20:27That was me, all the way.
00:20:29And why Patrick Mahomes?
00:20:32Because he's the best, and I'm coming right behind him.
00:20:35You wish.
00:20:36You need to check the stat sheet.
00:20:38I'm on track.
00:20:40Just need some more help out there on the field.
00:20:42So, you're the quarterback here?
00:20:45Yeah, bro.
00:20:47Don't you see the news?
00:20:49I thought you knew all about sports.
00:20:51Well, high school football doesn't exactly generate a lot of sports cards.
00:20:55But that's a nice topic you chose.
00:20:58That would be fine to work with.
00:20:59Now, what do you think of when you think of joy?
00:21:06Come on now.
00:21:07Don't let Hannah carry the load here.
00:21:11What about you?
00:21:14Maya, what are your thoughts on joy?
00:21:18I don't know.
00:21:20That it's a good thing?
00:21:22I'd like you to tell me why.
00:21:23Because, you see, what we're going to do today is what they call the Socratic method.
00:21:28I am going to ply you with questions, a lot of questions,
00:21:32so that the truth and the answers will come from you and not from me.
00:21:38So, asking again, drilling down, why is joy good for us?
00:21:44I guess because without it, we couldn't get through life?
00:21:49Now, that's an answer worthy of Socrates.
00:21:51Joy is essential to life.
00:21:56Now, who in here has joy?
00:21:59Raise your hand, be honest.
00:22:02Well, not a lot of people proclaiming joy today?
00:22:07Or you're just shy?
00:22:10Or you're struggling with joy?
00:22:15I'll tell you what I think.
00:22:17Mike! Good! Tell us.
00:22:21There's a lot of bad stuff swirling around. It infects you, you know?
00:22:26I mean, I'm happy enough, but there's a lot of crazy stuff you've got to power through.
00:22:31It takes a lot out of you.
00:22:33Enough bad stuff to steal your joy?
00:22:35I guess you could put it that way.
00:22:38And what bad stuff are you talking about in your life?
00:22:44We're getting a little personal now.
00:22:47Hey, you invited me. I'm just doing my thing like I said I would.
00:22:51It's just people are crazy. Always after you to be crazy.
00:22:57You are crazy, fool.
00:22:59You better watch your mouth.
00:23:00Or what? Your pimp slapped me?
00:23:03Hold on, hold on. Let's keep it civil.
00:23:07First, Mike, then Maya.
00:23:10Tell me more, Mike. What crazy stuff are you talking about?
00:23:13You know, I got feelings too. People even in class here, they look at me and they judge me by my rap sheet, my history, but they got no idea about the real me.
00:23:24You got the cheerleader here, the preacher's daughter there, Maya flapping her mouth, they all think they're better.
00:23:30They all judge me, but they ain't my judge.
00:23:33Aren't...
00:23:35Aren't my judge. Judge not lest he be judge, right?
00:23:38Well, actually, we're supposed to judge. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any right or wrong.
00:23:45How do you figure?
00:23:47Well, think about it. If we can't judge, there isn't any right or wrong.
00:23:52Now, you mentioned judge not lest he be judged. We all know Jesus Christ said that.
00:23:58There was an early Christian writer named Tertullian who pointed out something.
00:24:02When Jesus said, Judge not lest ye be judged, he wasn't telling us not to judge.
00:24:09He was telling us not to be hypocrites.
00:24:12He was telling us not to judge people unless we hold ourselves to those same standards.
00:24:19Tertullian said, Jesus wasn't telling us not to judge.
00:24:24In fact, he was telling us how to judge.
00:24:28That's pretty deep.
00:24:31Well, you certainly have deep waters flowing through you too.
00:24:35Look, people can't judge when they don't know.
00:24:39When they got no idea what you've gone through.
00:24:42All we got from the old papa was his name.
00:24:46Which is garbage, cause he's doing 20 years.
00:24:49Beat my mama so bad.
00:24:50I even remember some of it from when I was three, four years old.
00:24:55Frijoles, tortillas.
00:24:57He would call out for his food and when it didn't come fast enough, bam.
00:25:01You wanna know why I'm not out there playing with Jalen?
00:25:04Even with my speed?
00:25:06It's cause he broke this arm when I was five.
00:25:09I knocked over a bottle of Modelo and he threw me like a loaf of bread into the wall.
00:25:14Then whacked me until mama could pull him off me.
00:25:1620 years didn't come until three years later after he took up with some stupid woman who just wanted a man in the house.
00:25:24Her kids don't matter.
00:25:25They never matter.
00:25:27I ain't gonna get hit no more.
00:25:29It's that simple.
00:25:31Hit me, I hit back the harder.
00:25:33That kid. He turned bright red. He just stood there, melting.
00:25:46Little twerp.
00:25:48You know, they just come in strutting around like peacocks thinking they got it all figured out and then all of a sudden, they don't.
00:25:53They don't.
00:25:55What did he do to get on your bad list?
00:25:57He's just a know-it-all.
00:25:59He's just always voicing his loud opinion and like thinks he's a Rhodes Scholar or something.
00:26:04Just arrogant.
00:26:05Kids like that need to be taken down a peg or two, you know, introduce them to reality.
00:26:10So I just make fun of him a little bit, you know, poke fun at what he's looking at on this phone or, you know, what he's wearing, you know.
00:26:17Yeah, I know how it goes.
00:26:20Yeah, thank you.
00:26:22That Tessa Mays, she's been going off lately.
00:26:26Rolling her eyes and talking back.
00:26:28I forgot to figure out how to deal with her.
00:26:31See?
00:26:33We're the end of the line, okay?
00:26:35Kids come here thinking they have everything figured out and they think, oh, I can do anything.
00:26:41I can be anything.
00:26:42And then when they figure out they've been lied to by all these sunshine sellers, they take it out on us.
00:26:47When we're the ones.
00:26:49Just telling them the truth.
00:26:51Hmm.
00:26:53Some of them have tough backgrounds.
00:26:56I feel bad for them at times.
00:26:58Hmm.
00:27:00Not bad enough not to gossip.
00:27:03You got a point.
00:27:05A guilty pleasure, I guess.
00:27:07Hey, I need an outlet too.
00:27:11Maya, you mentioned being slapped.
00:27:14Why'd you say that?
00:27:16Because.
00:27:18Macho man Mike there can say where he is and where he's from.
00:27:22And that's how I see him.
00:27:24A thug.
00:27:26He tries to be the tough guy all the time.
00:27:29It's real tiring too.
00:27:31Look, he's not the only one in here who's felt pain, you know.
00:27:35I didn't have it easy neither.
00:27:36To me, who has?
00:27:38Daniel!
00:27:40Thanks for joining in.
00:27:42I mean, who in here has had it easy?
00:27:45I mean, look around.
00:27:46Look what we're dealing with here.
00:27:47Boho.
00:27:48Teacher's pet.
00:27:49Hey, don't call him that.
00:27:51Preacher's kid, butt out.
00:27:53You gonna step in here or just gonna enjoy the show?
00:27:55Yes, in a moment.
00:27:57I see there's some things that need to be worked out here.
00:27:59Apparently no one has ever tried.
00:28:00Well, if I speak my mind, I'll get my bucket after school or in a dark alley or whatever. So, maybe it's best I just keep my mouth shut, okay?
00:28:19No one's gonna hurt you.
00:28:21Uh, not so sure.
00:28:23Mike is gonna come out of this conversation with a new respect for you and everyone else.
00:28:28Daniel, finish your thoughts you just had. How do we find Joy?
00:28:35I didn't know I was supposed to go looking for it.
00:28:38Yes, we do. Joy's not gonna come and follow us like some stray dog following us home. We have to go look for it. We have to find it.
00:28:48I'm just, you know, pretty happy doing my thing.
00:28:52Which is?
00:28:53You know, gaming, doing homework.
00:28:56Don't be honest, Daniel. You're the class brains. You have the top marks in all of your classes. You've got your ticket punched. You have nothing to worry about.
00:29:07Oh, really?
00:29:09Yes, really. You're gonna head out of this place and hire people like us to serve you lattes and pizzas.
00:29:16Huh. I do like me lattes and pizzas.
00:29:19Don't be a jerk, man.
00:29:22I did, I didn't mean to like that.
00:29:26What I'm trying to say is, no one here has had it easy.
00:29:29Why do you say that?
00:29:34Yes, Ethan.
00:29:36I have to go to the bathroom?
00:29:38Well, you better go.
00:29:41Let's circle back to Daniel, who I now know as the star student here.
00:29:45Why did you say no one has it great?
00:29:49Look, this isn't easy to talk about in front of everyone.
00:29:54You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. It's up to you.
00:29:58It's just, everyone thinks that they can pick on the class nerd. I'm the one guy that everyone can tee off on.
00:30:10You're not a nerd.
00:30:12He kind of is, sir.
00:30:14A little bit.
00:30:16See? This is what I'm talking about. You know, you're not supposed to judge based on people's race or lifestyle or whatever.
00:30:23But, if you're smart, hey, he's a nerd. Open fire.
00:30:27Come on, man. Lighten up. We were just joking.
00:30:32You think it's funny that I don't have as many friends as you or that I'll never be popular?
00:30:40You all laughed, but you don't know what it's like to be alone and being picked on just for trying to be good at something.
00:30:47Daniel, did it ever occur to you that people do that because they envy what you have?
00:31:00Uh, no. What? How does that help me?
00:31:06Yeah, right.
00:31:08Hayley!
00:31:09You want to know what's worse? How about not being noticed at all? Like a bug that gets stepped on every day.
00:31:17She speaks? This is crazy.
00:31:21Sir, you got her to speak. She's never said anything before now.
00:31:25Why should I? Because you've got everything so figured out. Because you're super chocked.
00:31:29Hold on. Hold on.
00:31:31Hayley, what is joy to you?
00:31:34Being alive. Beating the darkness.
00:31:37What do you mean?
00:31:38Darkness is out there. It's after all of us.
00:31:40I go home, no mom, no dad, ever.
00:31:43I hear the darkness telling you that you're all alone and that you'll always be alone.
00:31:49Hayley, you're never alone.
00:31:52Yeah, I know.
00:31:54I've got my best friend stashed and waiting for me at home.
00:31:57I've got two boyfriends who love me and will never leave me. Jack Daniels, Jim Beam.
00:32:02That is some good stuff right there.
00:32:04Enough.
00:32:06Hayley, why do you say you're alone?
00:32:08Because I am. Because I'm a freak. That's how everyone here looks at me. Like a freak.
00:32:13Can't get along with people. No friends except other rejects. No future.
00:32:18That's why you start hating yourself.
00:32:21Hayley, you don't need to-
00:32:23To do what? Tell you how I feel?
00:32:25When the darkness tells you you're nothing, maybe you are nothing.
00:32:29Hating yourself, man? That's just plain crazy.
00:32:31Mike, stop that.
00:32:33People say that because they're sad.
00:32:35Come on. They think that way because they're crazy.
00:32:37Well, I think you're crazy!
00:32:38Well, I think you're crazy!
00:32:39Stop it.
00:32:40Both of you.
00:32:43Hayley.
00:32:46You're a beautiful creation.
00:32:48And you're not alone. You're never alone.
00:32:52That's who?
00:32:54Says the higher power.
00:32:56Says the one who made us and loved us.
00:32:58Where we can find our hope and joy.
00:33:01Much joy.
00:33:11Alright.
00:33:13I want everyone for the next five minutes to write down a paragraph of what they think of joy.
00:33:19I'll be right back.
00:33:21Ethan, come with me.
00:33:33Tell me what happened.
00:33:35It's nothing. My hair's just messed up.
00:33:38You can tell me what happened. Trust me.
00:33:40A couple of guys were hanging out in the bathroom. They like to prank kids.
00:33:48So what did they do?
00:33:50It's nothing. Can I go back and...
00:33:52What did they do?
00:33:54They gave me a swirly, alright?
00:33:56You mean they put your head in the toilet and flushed?
00:33:59Yes.
00:34:03Alright.
00:34:04Go back into class.
00:34:05Write a paragraph on joy.
00:34:07Go in. Don't look back.
00:34:09Go.
00:34:16It was awesome, wasn't it?
00:34:18He was all crying.
00:34:19How much money did you get?
00:34:20I say 20.
00:34:2120? That's it?
00:34:22Really?
00:34:23Come on.
00:34:24Maybe next week.
00:34:26Great.
00:34:27Guess what I needed.
00:34:28Hey.
00:34:29Can you help me out here?
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:32What's up?
00:34:33I just need something that's stuck there.
00:34:35It's behind the seat.
00:34:36Can you grab it for me?
00:34:38Get what?
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:40Hold here, bro.
00:34:41Hold up.
00:34:42You can't fuck the monkey in there.
00:34:46You want some of this?
00:34:49What are you doing?
00:34:52If you ever touched that kid that was just in here,
00:34:55you ever say anything to him or say anything bad about him?
00:34:59I got you.
00:35:01I'll upload this and you'll be international in a day.
00:35:05All over social media.
00:35:07They're going to call you Mr. Swirly because that's what I'm going to name the video.
00:35:12Don't put me in. Don't put me in.
00:35:14Don't mess with me, boys.
00:35:17I got things you don't want to see.
00:35:19Who are you?
00:35:20You can't be doing that.
00:35:22Oh, really?
00:35:24My phone says I just did.
00:35:27Cool.
00:35:28You can't do that.
00:35:29Do you see any cameras in here?
00:35:31No.
00:35:32It's a bathroom.
00:35:33There you go.
00:35:38Goodbye for now, boys.
00:35:39Who was that guy? A teacher?
00:35:43They call me the minister of justice.
00:35:47Well, you can just call me the minister.
00:35:58All right. Everyone done with their paragraphs on Joy?
00:36:01Time for our second topic, debate.
00:36:05So debate is like a boxing match or MMA bout.
00:36:10But it's really about using ideas and language to gain power, to get an advantage.
00:36:19So in your tournaments, it's all about the medal or the trophy.
00:36:24But in real life, there's a lot more on the line.
00:36:29What's your favorite TV show or online ad?
00:36:32Anybody. It doesn't have to be Gabby.
00:36:34I like the ad that talks about not being like your parents.
00:36:37The insurance ad?
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:40Oh, funny. Like, cringe funny.
00:36:43I think Daniel just coined a phrase here. Cringe funny.
00:36:48Got a future giant on Madison Avenue.
00:36:52Thanks.
00:36:54How about rhetoric?
00:36:55Does anyone know any great lines from politics?
00:36:58Now, for my money, the folks with the best political put-downs are the British.
00:37:02Their rhetoric is the best, the tops.
00:37:06So a few years ago, there was an unpopular prime minister.
00:37:10And a newspaper, one of the newspapers in London, placed a bet that a head of lettuce would last longer than she would as prime minister.
00:37:20Guess what? They were right. A week later, the prime minister resigned. And on their livestream, the paper placed a wig on the head of lettuce in celebration.
00:37:31That's cool.
00:37:32That's cool.
00:37:33Well, I'll give you a couple more examples before I turn it back over to you.
00:37:38How many of you heard of Winston Churchill?
00:37:40Winston Churchill.
00:37:43Wow. Three hands, huh?
00:37:46Well, at least Patrick Mahomes is well-known.
00:37:49Winston Churchill was prime minister during World War II.
00:37:54But before that, he was just a member of parliament.
00:37:56One time, he compared the prime minister of the time, Ramsay MacDonald, to a circus sideshow called the Boneless Wonder.
00:38:06Now, the Boneless Wonder was a man who was so flexible that he could bend himself into a pretzel.
00:38:13Churchill called MacDonald a coward, a boneless wonder.
00:38:17Because he had no backbone.
00:38:20Very good. He stood for nothing.
00:38:24That's not right, though. Those circus sideshows with the bearded women and the little short people running around like limpa-loopas?
00:38:31That was messed up.
00:38:33Yes, it was. Except that was the only way those people could earn money.
00:38:39That was the only jobs that were available for them. There were no government programs to help.
00:38:44I still say that was messed up.
00:38:45Yes, it is. You're right.
00:38:50So, remember that the next time you're watching a video of someone getting beat up or a crash or whatever?
00:38:58Those are the sideshows of today.
00:39:01Here's one more example of first-rate British rhetoric.
00:39:05The great prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, happened to be Jewish.
00:39:09One time, a politician decided to bring up his religion during a debate.
00:39:13Back then, the British were very faithful Christians.
00:39:18So, having a Jewish prime minister was as big a deal as us having a black president.
00:39:25Maybe bigger.
00:39:26So, it was a real low blow and a cheap shot to bring up this man's faith to win an argument.
00:39:36But Disraeli was ready.
00:39:38He did what Churchill did.
00:39:39He knocked him down with wit.
00:39:42Quote,
00:39:43Yes.
00:39:44I am a Jew.
00:39:46And while the ancestors of the Right Honorable Gentlemen were legal savages on an unknown island,
00:39:51mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon.
00:39:55Help me out here, Daniel.
00:39:57What point was he making?
00:40:00That his people, the Jewish people, gave us the Bible.
00:40:06When Solomon was king, the British people were just basically cavemen.
00:40:11Bingo.
00:40:13And the joke worked.
00:40:14Because the Christians of that time in the UK recognized that their Christian heritage came from the Bible and the Jewish experience.
00:40:23Disraeli's witty comment knocked him right between the eyes.
00:40:27That's cool.
00:40:28So, he was calling them out for being like, racist?
00:40:31Close.
00:40:33He was exposing their prejudice and hitting them back at the same time.
00:40:37In a funny way.
00:40:39That's a cool story.
00:40:41Well, you know why I'm in the business of cool stories.
00:40:45Now I want to turn it back over to you.
00:40:48I ask that you all think about the debates that you've had.
00:40:53Take some time to think about those and I want you to share those with us.
00:40:58Hannah.
00:41:02So, I have a story that maybe it's not one I can tell in school?
00:41:08Well, you know Hannah, I don't see you as a foul mouth type.
00:41:14What? Oh, no. I don't mean like that. I mean, it's about my faith.
00:41:21A debate you had about your faith?
00:41:22Yeah. And I don't want to get like, arrested or something for talking about it in school.
00:41:29You're not going to get arrested. Mom's the word. Tell us your story.
00:41:34You know, it's not easy having faith these days. Because you can't talk about it or bring it into school or wherever.
00:41:45You're supposed to leave it at the door. You know, keep your mouth shut or bad things will happen.
00:41:50What kind of bad things?
00:41:51You talk about having debates. I mean, it's a joke. I try to talk about the things that are most important to me and I'm shut down.
00:42:02Until I'm preachy. Preacher's daughter. Like he said.
00:42:06My faith tells me I should share my beliefs, but I can't. And it's not like I'm trying to put people down or, you know, make them feel bad or anything.
00:42:18I just want to share what's on my heart. Because I think it's important. I think it's the most important thing.
00:42:25I don't think anyone wants to hear that.
00:42:31Maybe it makes people feel bad about themselves.
00:42:34Did you ever think about that?
00:42:35Nope.
00:42:37I get it. But, I mean, I'm not trying to put people down. Some people need to hear it. I mean, they're drowning. And I just get shut down.
00:42:47Everyone like me. And there's a lot of us. We get, like, ridiculed. Picked on.
00:42:58I mean, what you're saying is backwards. It's beyond old school. Nobody I respect in the media or top universities talk like that anymore. It's just not relevant anymore.
00:43:10Daniel, you might be the smartest guy in this class. You might be the smartest guy, like, in the whole class. You might be valedictorian. But to try to make yourself sound educated? I mean, you look up to the wrong people.
00:43:27I mean, don't you think if all the people in the top universities and institutions say the same thing, shouldn't we believe them?
00:43:35I think they're wrong. I mean, I think when you put me down, my Christian faith down, and tell me to be quiet, I mean, they're just preaching a religion of their own. And it's a religion of hate towards people like me.
00:43:51One day I came to school wearing a dress. Not like a gown for a ball, but just a dress. I'm in a trad wife training group, and we were meeting right after school that day.
00:44:04And it's a group of girls who want to be stay-at-home wives and mothers. And everyone made fun of me. Everyone stared. The comments were, like, really mean.
00:44:19Princess Bride, white trash in a dress. Just a horrible thanks. I thought you were beautiful. Really cool. Thank you. I-I don't know. Some people just cheat. It's not right.
00:44:40You should tune those people out. They got nothing going on.
00:44:44I mean, just look at us. I mean, listen to us. Kids these days. It's like we grew up in a junkyard, you know? We see all these, like, scraps and broken things around us.
00:44:58And we're meant to go through everything and figure out what still works. But everything is broken into pieces.
00:45:07Our-our families. Our-our souls. I mean, almost every kid I know at school is battling depression.
00:45:14I mean, I-I mean, think of that. They need God in their lives, and I can't even talk about him?
00:45:27Teachers don't help.
00:45:29Why do you say that?
00:45:31Because they don't. Just make it worse.
00:45:34Teaching's a hard job. Teachers deserve respect.
00:45:41They should earn it, right? Shouldn't they earn it?
00:45:44I suppose this is two-way street. Teaching is about having power and trust. Do you have problems?
00:45:53When a teacher likes to get a big laugh by putting you down, they lose your respect.
00:45:59Lost with me.
00:46:01Do you want to share something?
00:46:04Just think that a lot of us are depressed because the adults in our lives are checked out.
00:46:08Parents are checked out.
00:46:11For kids who even have parents.
00:46:14When you come to school and the teachers don't help, they just...pile on.
00:46:18They're not all bad. I mean...
00:46:20They're not bad to you.
00:46:22You're pretty and-and popular. You've got money.
00:46:25Who's gonna say anything bad to you?
00:46:27It's people like me.
00:46:29Like the gum you step on and want to pick off your shoe.
00:46:32Who taught you to think like that about yourself?
00:46:35A teacher at this school, for one.
00:46:38I won't call her out because I don't want any more trouble than I already got.
00:46:41What'd she do?
00:46:45She saw me talking to this girl and...
00:46:47We were just talking, you know?
00:46:50I think she thought it'd be funny to tease me about it.
00:46:53Oh, Ethan. You're becoming a real player.
00:46:58Just for laughs.
00:47:00The other kids laughed.
00:47:01She keeps going.
00:47:02Ethan.
00:47:03You got the moves. I saw you in action.
00:47:08And girl I was talking to.
00:47:09She starts yelling,
00:47:10I'm not interested in him.
00:47:11Why are you saying that?
00:47:12And everyone piles on laughing.
00:47:18She tried to change the subject then.
00:47:21It was too late.
00:47:23She never apologized.
00:47:25I don't know what to say at school.
00:47:27I'm on antidepressants now.
00:47:28I'm not ashamed to say it.
00:47:30You get picked on enough.
00:47:32What are you supposed to do?
00:47:33I'm very sorry to hear that.
00:47:37So, now you draw the line with teachers because of that experience?
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:45I don't trust them.
00:47:47They're not all like that.
00:47:50I'm sorry about that.
00:47:52And I think you're making a broader point about when we hit our limit.
00:47:59What's that?
00:48:00All of us reach our limit.
00:48:04With a capital L.
00:48:06What we're willing to take, you know.
00:48:08Unless you're a saint.
00:48:10As Christians,
00:48:12I know Jesus told us to give everything to our persecutors.
00:48:16If they ask for a shirt, give them something else in return.
00:48:19But soon we realize that if we let them,
00:48:22evil people will take everything from us.
00:48:25Soon, they'll even torture us for their entertainment.
00:48:28As they did to Christ.
00:48:31So, for most of us mortals, we draw our line.
00:48:35That's why I took care of that thing for you earlier, Ethan.
00:48:39Because I reached my limit a long time ago.
00:48:43And somebody's got to stand up to those bullies.
00:48:45I think we should speak up and say what we think.
00:48:49Gabby.
00:48:51I know what Ethan's talking about.
00:48:53I got into it once with my speech and debate teacher.
00:48:56Someone brought up politics and we were all talking about what was in the news.
00:48:59I said something that set the teacher off.
00:49:02He didn't like what I had said.
00:49:03And he never forgave me.
00:49:05And ever since he's made it his mission to try and humiliate me.
00:49:09What happened?
00:49:11He puts me in positions where I'd fail just to see me fail.
00:49:15He sends me off to debate tournaments.
00:49:17He gives me the wrong advice.
00:49:20Or gives me the wrong evidence.
00:49:22Just for fun.
00:49:24Oh, Gabriela, I want to make you stage manager of our class play, Oklahoma.
00:49:29So I thought, great.
00:49:31Maybe he's finally giving me a chance now.
00:49:34But he would never let me do anything.
00:49:37And anytime I made a suggestion, he'd just ignore it.
00:49:40And anytime an actor forgot their lines or missed their marks or whatever, he would just blow up and blame me.
00:49:47He cursed me out even.
00:49:49I finally just resigned.
00:49:52It was evil.
00:49:54That's awful.
00:49:56And what kids do is no better.
00:49:59Why are people so cruel?
00:50:04It's in our nature.
00:50:06People are marked when they come into this world, you could say,
00:50:09because of what happened long ago with the first man and woman.
00:50:14We're selfish and mean until we're trained not to be.
00:50:22Is there anybody out there?
00:50:24What?
00:50:26How are they?
00:50:30How are they?
00:50:36I've been tracking through the darkness.
00:50:41...
00:50:44Looking for the sunrise.
00:50:45Sometimes it feels like we're so far away
00:50:57Trying to keep our heads above the waves
00:51:03Are we gonna sink like Titanic?
00:51:08Our problems feel gigantic
00:51:12Like falling apart into a cold, cold ocean
00:51:16Are we gonna run like we're strangers
00:51:22At the first sight of danger
00:51:26I'll still be hanging around
00:51:28Just tell me we're not going under
00:51:33Hey, hey, hey, everyone?
00:51:38Everyone?
00:51:38Hey, yes, um, I have a Dylan listed on the seating chart
00:51:44I don't see him
00:51:45Anyone know what happened to this Dylan?
00:51:48He's checked out
00:51:49What's that?
00:51:52He takes off during class
00:51:53Takes off?
00:51:56Yeah, he usually just leaves his stuff here
00:51:58He comes at the beginning
00:51:59Leaves when the bell rings
00:52:01But it shows that he's here
00:52:03And the teacher lets him do this?
00:52:05She's talked to him about it
00:52:07But he keeps doing it
00:52:09He just goes to the parking lot
00:52:10Goes to his car
00:52:11And plays on his phone
00:52:12He's there now?
00:52:14Yeah, bro
00:52:15He's in the parking lot
00:52:16Okay
00:52:19For the next five minutes
00:52:22I want everyone to do what they did before
00:52:24And I'll write a paragraph about debate
00:52:26I'll be right back
00:52:28Hey
00:52:35Are you Dylan?
00:52:38Yeah
00:52:38What's up?

00:54:12Do I gotta be the teacher now?
00:54:14Yes
00:54:14Yes
00:54:15I've heard of hip-hop
00:54:16You know it actually helps
00:54:19To learn something
00:54:20You know, to get some ideas
00:54:22You know, some things to
00:54:23Write down for your lyrics

00:55:11Alright, here it is
00:55:13Passport 2, amazing
00:55:14Yeah, yeah
00:55:17Feel that sizzle
00:55:18Heading straight for the missile
00:55:19Coming down the pipe
00:55:20Like three little pigs on a spike
00:55:21To light up your brain
00:55:23A big candle flapping in the rain
00:55:24Yeah, yeah
00:55:25And, uh, and
00:55:26That's all I got so far
00:55:28But, I mean, you heard it, though
00:55:29I mean, I lay it down pretty smooth, right?
00:55:31Uh, keep it up
00:55:33And you'll put Mother Goose out of business
00:55:35Oh, okay
00:55:38Alright, then
00:55:38Yeah
00:55:39Come to think of it
00:55:41You may have to pay her some royalties
00:55:43Is she from Brooklyn?
00:55:48Come on, man
00:55:49Human me
00:55:50I'm only here for a few minutes
00:55:52Plus
00:55:53You have a backup plan
00:55:55If your
00:55:56Career in performing arts
00:55:58Pakes a little long to get going
00:56:00It's good for you
00:56:04I promise
00:56:05And you can bring your burger with you
00:56:09Just finish it on the way
00:56:10Be honest with me
00:56:17Do you like my act?
00:56:20Like I said
00:56:21I'm a little out of my
00:56:22Element
00:56:23And out of my depth
00:56:25On this particular field
00:56:26But
00:56:26I see that you're dedicated
00:56:30And it's
00:56:31It's half the battle
00:56:32All right, then
00:56:34Guess we're on the same page
00:56:36All right
00:56:37Let's go
00:56:39Dylan has decided to end his long hunger strike and join the rest of the class
00:56:57In fact
00:57:00He's been working hard on our last topic
00:57:02Oh, yeah?
00:57:04Yeah
00:57:05Uh, right, yeah
00:57:07Uh, last topic
00:57:09Yeah
00:57:09Which is
00:57:11Patrick Mahomes
00:57:12Brought to us courtesy of our star athlete
00:57:16Show the love
00:57:18You have to start us off
00:57:20What does it mean
00:57:22When you think of the name
00:57:24Patrick Mahomes
00:57:25Greatness
00:57:27Greatness
00:57:28He's the best
00:57:30He's got
00:57:31The brains
00:57:32The athletic ability
00:57:33The arm
00:57:35The anticipation
00:57:36Never been anyone like him
00:57:39He is great
00:57:40And he's
00:57:41He's one of a kind
00:57:42With rings to prove it
00:57:43But
00:57:44What is the downside
00:57:46Of being Patrick Mahomes?
00:57:49Downside?
00:57:49There's no downside there
00:57:51He's got it all
00:57:52Does he?
00:57:53So what comes with all that glory
00:57:55All that success?
00:57:57Pressure
00:57:58Spot on
00:57:59He can handle it
00:58:00In the pursuit of excellence
00:58:02We hold ourselves to a high standard
00:58:04And others hold us
00:58:06To that standard
00:58:07Does anyone know
00:58:09What I'm talking about?
00:58:11Jalen does
00:58:12Don't you?
00:58:14Yeah
00:58:14I guess
00:58:16Sure you do
00:58:17Just like Mahomes
00:58:19Except
00:58:19In high school
00:58:20It's different
00:58:22Yeah
00:58:24He's got banking
00:58:24You don't
00:58:25It's part of it
00:58:27I'll put it this way
00:58:29What if every time
00:58:31A game comes on
00:58:32It's
00:58:33Jalen's next
00:58:34He's gonna get us
00:58:35Paid like them
00:58:36Every time you go
00:58:38To your own home
00:58:39You feel the pressure
00:58:41That's the pressure
00:58:43Out on the field
00:58:43From defense
00:58:46That's pressure
00:58:47You can never get away from
00:58:48No pocket
00:58:49You can hide in
00:58:50No O-line
00:58:51To block it
00:58:51It's just always there
00:58:54Like this weight
00:58:56You can't shake
00:58:57Have you ever talked
00:58:59About that pressure
00:59:00To your family?
00:59:00What am I supposed to say?
00:59:04Hey knock it off
00:59:05Maybe I won't make it
00:59:07Maybe
00:59:09The chances of me
00:59:10Getting paid to play
00:59:11On Sundays
00:59:12Aren't a whole lot better
00:59:13Than winning the lottery
00:59:14Maybe they're just
00:59:17Trying to encourage you
00:59:18Let you know
00:59:19They believe in you
00:59:20No
00:59:21It's not like that
00:59:23They push
00:59:24It's not like they're
00:59:26Big fans or something
00:59:26They want me
00:59:29To succeed
00:59:30So they can get in
00:59:31On the action
00:59:32It's tough man
00:59:34Sorry man
00:59:36I thought you liked football
00:59:38Bro
00:59:39I love it
00:59:42Best game in the world
00:59:44And I don't mind
00:59:46The pressure
00:59:46From the game
00:59:47It's the expectations
00:59:49That follow me
00:59:50Off the field
00:59:51But you say
00:59:53You want to be like
00:59:54Patrick Mahomes
00:59:55And follow in his footsteps
00:59:56I mean yeah
00:59:59I wish I could play like him
01:00:02But
01:00:04In a way
01:00:07I'm just expected
01:00:08To say that
01:00:09To step up
01:00:11And strive to be
01:00:13The next big thing
01:00:14But if I don't
01:00:16Get it done
01:00:17Hear about it
01:00:19For the rest of my life
01:00:20For my family
01:00:21Because they want
01:00:22Their slice
01:00:23Know what I'm saying
01:00:24Hey brother
01:00:25I got the solution
01:00:26For you right here

01:00:28You need to

01:00:31Multiple industries

01:00:37There's no pressure
01:00:37I'm already on my way
01:00:39Just gotta hop on board
01:00:40Yeah
01:00:41That'll do it
01:00:43Maya
01:00:43I hear what people
01:00:45Are saying
01:00:46And
01:00:47I'm thinking
01:00:48We don't talk
01:00:51About the obvious
01:00:52What is the obvious
01:00:54We're overlooking
01:00:55Maya
01:00:55Life
01:00:56Just rolling out of bed
01:00:59And putting on
01:01:00Your clothes
01:01:00Pushing through
01:01:01The hauls out there
01:01:02With everyone
01:01:03Pushing back
01:01:03That's pressure too
01:01:06That's very well put
01:01:08Yeah
01:01:09Well we don't talk
01:01:11About the basics
01:01:12Like we should
01:01:13With everyone
01:01:14We walk by
01:01:16Talk to
01:01:17Or sit next to
01:01:18It all holds risk
01:01:19You know
01:01:19The potential
01:01:21To go bad
01:01:22And you're judged
01:01:23Before you even
01:01:24Open your mouth
01:01:25And say a word
01:01:25We all have
01:01:27Pressures
01:01:28Don't we
01:01:28Yes we do
01:01:30Why do you say that
01:01:32Kennedy
01:01:32It's just
01:01:33Different kinds
01:01:35Of pressure
01:01:35Some last for a moment
01:01:37And
01:01:38Some last a lifetime
01:01:39A lifetime
01:01:40Yeah
01:01:42Like they never
01:01:43Go away
01:01:44Like being popular
01:01:47Help me
01:01:49How popular
01:01:50For mind
01:01:51It's alright
01:01:53What you're saying
01:01:54Is important
01:01:55That's why
01:01:55They're all laughing
01:01:56Well I can laugh
01:01:57At you too
01:01:57You know
01:01:58Goes both ways
01:01:59No one is going
01:02:00To laugh at you
01:02:01We value
01:02:02What you have to say
01:02:03Could have fooled me
01:02:04Sorry
01:02:06Okay
01:02:07Most people
01:02:10Aren't popular
01:02:11Kennedy
01:02:12But they don't
01:02:12Know what it's like
01:02:13They only see
01:02:14The outside of things
01:02:15It's like all these
01:02:17Actors and singers
01:02:17Why do so many
01:02:19Of them end up
01:02:19On drugs
01:02:20And die young
01:02:21It's the pressures
01:02:22Of living up
01:02:23To a reputation
01:02:23A lot of truth
01:02:26There
01:02:26I have feelings
01:02:28A lot of things
01:02:29Don't go my way
01:02:31Little Miss Perfect
01:02:32That comes with
01:02:33The territory
01:02:33Don't call me that
01:02:34Why are you so
01:02:36Mean
01:02:37Mean
01:02:38You think I'm mean
01:02:42Maya
01:02:42It's alright
01:02:43No let me finish
01:02:44She's not gonna win
01:02:46Pity me sweepstakes
01:02:47Today okay
01:02:47No I don't spill
01:02:50My guts to everyone
01:02:51Like y'all
01:02:51But I got pain
01:02:53I got pain
01:02:54The day they told me
01:02:55I wasn't the cutest
01:02:56The smartest
01:02:58Had nothing gone
01:02:59From myself
01:02:59Except for when
01:03:00My cousin said
01:03:01Hey
01:03:02You're cute
01:03:05Come on in here
01:03:07Yeah
01:03:10Take that off
01:03:13We're gonna film you
01:03:16Come on girl
01:03:18Show us what you got
01:03:20Go ahead
01:03:25Don't be sure
01:03:25And then they took
01:03:28Advantage of you
01:03:29And then the whole
01:03:34World knows
01:03:35And the whole
01:03:37World sees
01:03:38Just like
01:03:40Everyone in here
01:03:41And you don't mind
01:03:46Because your whole
01:03:47Life you've been
01:03:48Told you're nothing
01:03:48You've been passed over
01:03:52From prom days
01:03:53Or any date
01:03:54No Kennedy
01:03:59I don't feel sorry
01:04:00For you
01:04:01You got a silver spoon
01:04:03In your mouth
01:04:04And a bling
01:04:05Around your neck
01:04:06And everyone
01:04:07Loves you
01:04:08I'm hard as nails
01:04:11Because that's
01:04:11What life gave me
01:04:13That
01:04:14How I push through
01:04:16It's cool
01:04:27I feel you
01:04:29There you go
01:04:31Somebody gets it
01:04:33I'm
01:04:35So
01:04:36Sorry
01:04:37I
01:04:40I wasn't
01:04:41Trying to put you down
01:04:43We know you're not
01:04:46Don't we Maya
01:04:47I said my piece
01:04:50We're good
01:04:53Kennedy
01:04:55Go ahead and please
01:04:56Finish what you
01:04:56Had started to say
01:04:57All
01:04:59I was trying
01:05:00To say
01:05:01Was that
01:05:02I have
01:05:04Pressure too
01:05:06We all do
01:05:07Some of you
01:05:10May have noticed
01:05:11That I struggle
01:05:12With my weight
01:05:13A lot of women
01:05:16Do
01:05:16But
01:05:16I have
01:05:18A real problem
01:05:19I've gone to doctors
01:05:21And the counselors
01:05:23Say that I have
01:05:24An eating disorder
01:05:25I think you look great
01:05:28Kennedy
01:05:29Thank you
01:05:31I struggle with it
01:05:34I've gone through times
01:05:37Where I've been
01:05:37Way too skinny
01:05:39Because I wouldn't
01:05:40Eat what I was
01:05:40Supposed to
01:05:41I'd
01:05:41Get down to like
01:05:43Almost like a skeleton
01:05:45You don't look that way now
01:05:48No I don't
01:05:49You mean like an Alexia
01:05:51You don't have to get into that
01:05:54I don't mind
01:05:55Everyone should know that
01:05:58We all have struggles
01:05:59So
01:06:01Yeah
01:06:02I'm not afraid to admit it
01:06:04Those are the things that
01:06:06I have to fight
01:06:07I mean
01:06:08Crazy
01:06:09Not eating enough
01:06:10The solution's right there
01:06:11Have a pizza
01:06:13A soda
01:06:13There
01:06:14Problem solved
01:06:15That is enough
01:06:16You're missing the point
01:06:18How?
01:06:19Something is easy for you
01:06:20It's not always easy for others
01:06:22Like what?
01:06:24She's nice
01:06:24And you're
01:06:26Shall we say
01:06:27An acquired taste
01:06:28We're all different
01:06:30We all
01:06:32Bear our scars
01:06:33Our battle scars
01:06:35Of life
01:06:35I'm going to give you another
01:06:37Saying
01:06:38This is an old one
01:06:40The Romans used to say
01:06:41Misfortune
01:06:43Nobly born
01:06:44Is good fortune
01:06:46Anyone knows what that means?
01:06:50Something like a fortune cookie
01:06:51Nice try
01:06:53You know how athletes always say
01:06:56There's beauty
01:06:57In the struggle
01:06:58Yeah
01:06:59I heard that
01:07:01That's what it means
01:07:02All of you have heroes
01:07:04Inside of you
01:07:05How do we get like this?
01:07:08What do you mean Daniel?
01:07:10I mean
01:07:10How did things get so crazy?
01:07:13It's like
01:07:14Kids don't know the rules nowadays
01:07:15We're practically
01:07:16Raising ourselves
01:07:17I like the way you said that
01:07:19Raising ourselves
01:07:21That's a good one
01:07:22Why do you feel that way?
01:07:24How else should I feel?
01:07:26We have no parents
01:07:27I mean
01:07:28We got some that
01:07:30Practically don't do anything
01:07:32But put food on the table
01:07:33Teachers are always overwhelmed
01:07:35If some of them care
01:07:37Some of them don't
01:07:38Everyone's into just
01:07:39Doing their own thing now
01:07:41We do live in an age of self
01:07:44The other day I was
01:07:46Watching an old TV program
01:07:48Just to check it out
01:07:50It was called
01:07:52The Brady Bunch
01:07:53It was about
01:07:54A father
01:07:55And a mother
01:07:56And six kids
01:07:57The jokes were
01:07:58Very cringe
01:07:59The show had
01:08:01Heavy use of the laugh track
01:08:03But
01:08:04The lessons
01:08:06They were
01:08:08Always really good
01:08:09The
01:08:09The parents were always there
01:08:11For the kids
01:08:11You've seen that show right?
01:08:15I know the show you're talking about
01:08:17Then how do we end up like this?
01:08:22People stop caring about other people
01:08:24That's what happens
01:08:26There's nothing complicated about that
01:08:29There's a lot of talk today about
01:08:32Not trusting institutions
01:08:33Government
01:08:35Businesses
01:08:36Churches
01:08:37Media
01:08:38What do you say about all that?
01:08:41Why should we trust them
01:08:42When they've failed us?
01:08:45I mean
01:08:45The whole system is stacked
01:08:47Everyone older got the
01:08:48The houses
01:08:50The big paying jobs
01:08:51Left us
01:08:53And left us
01:08:53With nothing but
01:08:54Debt
01:08:54And broken lives
01:08:56Amen
01:08:57Sister
01:08:58Maybe it's your time to be great
01:09:01To be noble
01:09:02Maybe
01:09:04You live better than the generation before you
01:09:07The generation that stole from you
01:09:09Maybe
01:09:11You set the example
01:09:13Of goodness and grace
01:09:15Live
01:09:17To be the generation that rebuilds
01:09:19What your parents and your grandparents destroy
01:09:22That sounds pretty noble to me
01:09:24And then she just had no idea
01:09:28Hello Karen Willis
01:09:36Mrs. Willis
01:09:38This is Georgia Vines
01:09:39Casey Switzer's mom
01:09:40Oh hi
01:09:42How are you?
01:09:44I'm okay
01:09:45I'm calling about Casey
01:09:46She told me she's not doing well in your class
01:09:49She has been struggling
01:09:50Well
01:09:53I talked to her like you suggested
01:09:55And?
01:09:57You're not seeing any improvement?
01:10:00Not in her school work
01:10:01No I'm not
01:10:01Of course I meant improvement in her grades
01:10:05What other improvement could I mean?
01:10:08I don't know
01:10:08How about improvement in social skills?
01:10:11You don't need to get smart with me
01:10:13Look
01:10:15She doesn't put in the time or effort she needs to
01:10:18To succeed
01:10:19She just doesn't care
01:10:20Okay
01:10:21This is not a hard class
01:10:22It's sophomore social studies
01:10:24If it makes you feel any better
01:10:27A lot of the other students do the same
01:10:30At least she shows up for class
01:10:32That's gonna look great
01:10:33On her resume won't it?
01:10:35She showed up for class
01:10:38I'm just saying
01:10:39It could be worse
01:10:40What else can I do?
01:10:44Mrs. Vines
01:10:44I can't cancel you on how to raise your child
01:10:46I only see what shows up to class
01:10:48Thanks for nothing
01:10:51I'm hanging up now
01:10:53Do you see?
01:10:55Do you see?
01:10:56This is why I don't try and get close to them
01:10:58That's why
01:10:59They're like abused animals
01:11:01Let out of their
01:11:03Tage for seven hours a day
01:11:05In a pen
01:11:05And we just
01:11:06Warehouse them
01:11:07Now that's a pretty rough view of things
01:11:12Is it?
01:11:14I mean it's all I can do to
01:11:15Corral these savages
01:11:17And get them to sit still
01:11:18For a few minutes
01:11:19And some of them can't even do that
01:11:21Have you ever tried just
01:11:23Talking to them?
01:11:26I'm not a miracle worker
01:11:27And this is not a miracle factory
01:11:31I have one more topic for us
01:11:35Smile
01:11:36It's a personal privilege
01:11:39It's going to help us wrap up today
01:11:42We've seen and heard
01:11:45A lot from the heart
01:11:47And the soul today
01:11:49Courage
01:11:52Honesty
01:11:53Wisdom
01:11:55So our final topic today
01:11:59The solution
01:12:03Who can help me find a solution?
01:12:19You mean
01:12:19For a life?
01:12:21Yes Daniel
01:12:21Exactly
01:12:22What is the solution
01:12:24For life?
01:12:25To find more joy
01:12:27Peace
01:12:28Excellence
01:12:29So are you talking like
01:12:31A code of life or something?
01:12:35Maybe
01:12:35What do you think?
01:12:38I try to find my way
01:12:40And lose myself
01:12:41In working out
01:12:43Practicing
01:12:45Watching tape
01:12:46Trying to be the best I can be
01:12:48Preparing
01:12:49Studying
01:12:51Yeah
01:12:52All that
01:12:53How about you Maya?
01:12:55What do you do to find
01:12:57Peace
01:12:57Joy
01:12:58To be your best?
01:13:00I like listening to those podcasts
01:13:02And the YouTube channels
01:13:05The ones with the
01:13:06Rain falling
01:13:07It may sound stupid
01:13:09But
01:13:09It works for me anyways
01:13:11I think that's awesome
01:13:14It works for a lot of people
01:13:16And I don't think they'd have those shows
01:13:18If it didn't work
01:13:18I guess not
01:13:21Daniel
01:13:23How about you?
01:13:26I'm good with the book and a latte
01:13:27You travel light, huh?
01:13:30It's called an escape
01:13:31Could easily dive into a good book
01:13:34I do a lot of that myself
01:13:37Very good
01:13:38Who else?
01:13:41Mike
01:13:42What do you do for peace?
01:13:44Joy?
01:13:44I heard Jack Daniel's name
01:13:46He and I go way back
01:13:47Is there something legal you can turn to?
01:13:50And I guess gaming
01:13:53Hanging out with friends
01:13:55I don't know about
01:13:56Joy and peace and all that
01:14:00But
01:14:01It's what I like to do for fun
01:14:04You brought up a great point
01:14:06What we do for fun
01:14:08Isn't always the same as what we do to find joy
01:14:10Peace
01:14:11Excellence
01:14:13I was going to say that I turn to herbal tea
01:14:15Great example
01:14:16But
01:14:17Is that truly the solution?
01:14:22Granted
01:14:23We've all
01:14:24Gotten ourselves there
01:14:25We choose something to eat
01:14:28Or drink
01:14:28Or something to pass the time by
01:14:30But
01:14:32Is that the inspiration
01:14:34For
01:14:35Lasting
01:14:36Peace
01:14:37Lasting
01:14:38Joy
01:14:39You see there's a difference, right?
01:14:43Yeah, I do
01:14:44So what do you say, sir?
01:14:51Maybe my answer will surprise you
01:14:53For me
01:14:54It's
01:14:56It's clear as day
01:14:58How do we find the solution
01:15:01The one source
01:15:03To all these things
01:15:05Joy
01:15:07Peace
01:15:09The pursuit of excellence
01:15:11I found that source
01:15:16A long time ago
01:15:18And it's steered me straight ever since
01:15:21Sports trivia
01:15:23Oh
01:15:24Funny thing
01:15:27You probably thought
01:15:29You were just recruiting some guy
01:15:30From a sports card store
01:15:32Nah, man
01:15:33I'm just kidding
01:15:34We chose three random topics
01:15:37That you've written
01:15:40Literally picked out
01:15:42By one of you
01:15:43Out of the hat
01:15:45And those topics led us here
01:15:48The source
01:15:51Of what's most important
01:15:53How'd you know that would happen?
01:15:55I didn't
01:15:56But look what happened here today
01:15:58Your concerns
01:16:01Your thoughts
01:16:02Your experiences
01:16:04Have led you
01:16:06To search
01:16:07For something bigger than yourselves
01:16:09Because we've all been told
01:16:12To go find joy
01:16:14And the good things in life
01:16:16In a selfish way
01:16:19But we learn how that fits into a bigger picture
01:16:22God's holy picture
01:16:25Beautiful
01:16:27Bright
01:16:28Just like your smiles
01:16:32Don't let anyone
01:16:36Take that away from you
01:16:38You know
01:16:42I forgot to do something
01:16:44What's that?
01:16:47Google that guy
01:16:47The guest speaker we have today
01:16:49I mean, not that it matters
01:16:51He already passed the background check
01:16:52But

01:17:35What's up?
01:17:36We had a good class today
01:17:37No, you didn't
01:17:39Mr. Jones here
01:17:40Didn't come clean
01:17:40About his background
01:17:41He managed to slip through the cracks
01:17:43Isn't that right, Mr. Jones?
01:17:45Look what I found on the internet
01:17:47Harrison Jones yesterday
01:17:49Was barred for life
01:17:51From teaching
01:17:51And stripped of his teacher's license
01:17:53For leading his classroom in prayer
01:17:54At Sequoia High School
01:17:55In Rockdale
01:17:56School administrators
01:17:57Terminated Jones
01:17:59Following a hearing
01:18:00Into allegations
01:18:01Of unapproved religious conduct
01:18:03In the classroom
01:18:04Jones' teaching license
01:18:06Was revoked
01:18:06Specifically
01:18:08For violating
01:18:09The Supreme Court's ban
01:18:10On prayer in school
01:18:11Jones claimed
01:18:13The prayers were for a student
01:18:14Who had been injured
01:18:15In an auto accident
01:18:16He also claimed
01:18:18The ban on prayer was
01:18:19Quote
01:18:19Tyrannical and unjust
01:18:21And et cetera
01:18:22Et cetera
01:18:23Garbage
01:18:24We're done
01:18:25That picture
01:18:27Sure does look like

01:18:31Yeah that's you

01:18:36Your seminar speaker here
01:18:37Was a teacher
01:18:38Who got barred
01:18:39From teaching
01:18:40For the rest of his life
01:18:41That's why he's working
01:18:42In a sports card shop
01:18:43Isn't that right
01:18:44Mr. Jones?
01:18:51Yes I need security
01:18:52Down here please
01:18:53I need someone
01:18:54Escorted from the school grounds
01:18:55My guest speaker
01:18:56I'll explain to Principal Jansen
01:18:57Later
01:18:57Wait
01:18:58Yes
01:18:58Why?
01:18:59That's not cool

01:19:00Okay?
01:19:02I'm not losing my job
01:19:03Over this
01:19:04I don't feel like
01:19:05Working in a sports card shop
01:19:07For the rest of my life

01:19:19It's okay
01:19:25It's okay
01:19:26They do make you pay for thoughts out of season
01:19:28Don't they?
01:19:30Growing up
01:19:35I never thought I'd have to choose between
01:19:39My God
01:19:41And my government
01:19:43For me that's an easy choice
01:19:46Principal called us to come on
01:19:49You called for security?
01:19:51Yes
01:19:52This gentleman should not be here
01:19:54He needs to be escorted out of the school
01:19:56Those essays you wrote today
01:20:01Those are for you
01:20:03You pull those out
01:20:06Anytime someone tells you you're worthless
01:20:09Remember
01:20:12Just how blessed you are to be you
01:20:16Out, Mr. Jones
01:20:19So you
01:20:22Such a waste
01:20:25To thine own self
01:20:36Be true
01:20:38Where's my disinfectant?
01:20:55I do miss it so
01:21:01Did you see the cornerstone out front?
01:21:06It has the year on it
01:21:07A.D. 1977
01:21:09You know what that means?
01:21:13Anno Domini
01:21:14It's Latin for
01:21:15The Year of Our Lord
01:21:17They haven't chiseled that out yet, have they?
01:21:21Blessed to have you
01:21:27Here
01:21:28Thank you for keeping our young people safe
01:21:31Good seeds were planted here today
01:21:35The best
01:21:37They haven't buried us yet
01:21:43And I have it on good authority
01:21:45They never will
01:21:47They never will
