00:02Mr. Payne, we're invested in all of our students.
00:06We strongly believe in meeting the young people where they are.
00:09But that said, we're also committed to pushing them to be their best, both academically and personally.
00:15And you're unhappy with junior's progress?
00:18I think unhappy is a bit strong.
00:21Okay, so what's the word?
00:24I'm definitely concerned.
00:26Okay, and what are your biggest concerns?
00:30Uh, his temper.
00:33You have to understand, all kids need correction.
00:36Some get it immediately, conform, apologize, show remorse.
00:41And then there's others that bucket.
00:43And you think junior is one of those kids?
00:46Absolutely.
00:47Yeah, I know that. But would you say that's a bad thing?
00:52Well, it is at a school that's committed to pushing all students to be their best academically and personally.
00:59Yes.
00:59Okay, I get that. But wouldn't you agree that some of the most successful people in the world, they're known
01:05for booking authority?
01:07Well, yeah, I can't argue with you there. I was one of them.
01:11Okay, so you understand.
01:13Yeah, listen. This visit is just a check-in. And it's a chance for me to communicate the school's concerns.
01:20Okay, well, I don't, I don't want anybody concerned about my children.
01:26Understandable.
01:27Mr. Payne, when you enrolled him and Christian into the academy, you knew that it would be a challenging curriculum?
01:33Yes. Yes, ma'am, I did. That's why we wanted them there.
01:36Exactly. And it's also why we're on a three-year wait list, a wait list which, frankly, your family adverted
01:43because of the relationship with our board member, Tim Slikowski, who works with Mr. and Mrs. Walker, your parents.
01:49Yes, and we are grateful for the blessing that you have afforded us. My parents told me all about it,
01:56and we're grateful for what you've given to us.
01:59Yes, we are grateful. Thank you.
02:02Okay. So, we're committed to pushing Calvin to be his best, but it needs to be a partnership.
02:08Absolutely. You have our full support.
02:11Yes, we have been working with Calvin Jr. a lot. And now Calvin has primary custody of him, and we
02:18are committed to helping him through his anger issues, truly.
02:22I'm glad. I think you have a lovely son. I do. Where we need to see marked improvement is his
02:29behavior, because he's often disrespectful to his teachers and his classmates.
02:34Yeah, well, Mrs. Morgan, I hate to hear that. I do. But I can assure you that we're good people,
02:39and we demand the same from our kids.
02:41Oh, I don't doubt that, Mr. Payne. There's no judgment here.
02:45Do you have any suggestions for us? I mean, surely other parents have gone through this, right?
02:50Yeah, I always suggest counseling. Dirt.
02:53I'm sorry. Counseling?
02:57Well, yes, counseling. I think that it can help. You and your son get to the bottom, you know, the
03:02root of his anger.
03:03Well, in my family, we usually just go to church and use the guide.
03:09Mrs. Morgan, we will consider all options.
03:12That.
03:14Yeah.
03:15I do these visits whenever we have a student on academic or disciplinary probation.
03:20Wait, I'm sorry. Is junior on probation?
03:23Oh, you didn't see the email, Mr. Payne?
03:28Yes, your son is on disciplinary and academic probation.
03:32Oh, my gosh.
03:35He's on both.
03:36He's on both.
03:38Okay, well, do people usually get on both?
03:41Almost never.
03:43Damn.
04:11Wow.
04:12Wow. Well, we are very sorry to hear this, Mrs. Morgan.
04:17Look, look, it's not the end of the world.
04:20Calvin and Christian are still enrolled at the academy.
04:22And how is Christian doing?
04:24Christian is excelling.
04:27He seems to have meshed really well with our school community. We're very pleased.
04:31Well, that's great, but I want both of my sons to excel.
04:34Of course. And Mr. Payne, I believe that they will.
04:38I like to stay positive.
04:40You know, if we see marked improvement, we will be thrilled to invite Calvin back to the academy next term.
04:46Okay, so there's still time to turn this around?
04:48Yes, of course. And I think if we're all willing to do the work, I believe Calvin Jr. will be
04:54very successful with us.
04:55Okay, well, we will assure you that there will be a change.
04:59Thank you. No, I'm off to a board meeting.
05:01Okay. One last question. Does Jr. know that he's on probation?
05:05Uh, no, he does not. We usually leave that information for the parents to deliver if they choose.
05:13Oh!
05:14Mrs. Morgan.
05:15Uh, Jr., what do you say?
05:17Hello, Mrs. Morgan.
05:19Calvin, Christian, Ms. Walker, Mr. Payne.
05:23Ms. Morgan!
05:24Hi!
05:25Hi!
05:25Hi!
05:26You guys enjoy your evening, okay?
05:28You too, thank you.
05:29Thanks, guys.
05:31Get the door.
05:33What's she doing here, Dad?
05:35Am I in trouble?
05:39So what, do we play into her crazy and call it the Bad Neighbor Barbecue?
05:42And then people can come over, and they can have good barbecue, and see we're not that bad.
05:47Well, see, what that does is, that makes Mrs. Wellington's campaign backfire the way Unc said it would.
05:52Yep.
05:53Now, trust me, all this is gonna backfire on that witch.
05:57I don't think we should double down on her description of us.
06:00I mean, we're not bad neighbors.
06:02Yeah, you know what?
06:03I agree with Malik.
06:04I want to start by correcting the false narrative.
06:08Well, there you go, Claude.
06:10Just call it the Good Neighbor's Barbecue.
06:13Ooh.
06:14You know what, Uncle Curtis?
06:15I like that.
06:15With a nice little sub heading underneath it.
06:17Yes.
06:18Mm-hmm.
06:18Yeah.
06:19The Good Neighbor's Barbecue.
06:20An afternoon with our wonderful HOA president, Ms. Claude.
06:24Hey!
06:25It's got a nice ring to it.
06:26It does.
06:26I like that.
06:27I like that.
06:28Yeah, now, you said wonderful HOA president?
06:31Yes, sir.
06:31Yeah.
06:32I thought we said we weren't gonna put lies on the poster card.
06:35Okay, please.
06:36Because if I'm not even gonna do lies, then we're not gonna do lies.
06:38Chill, okay.
06:39You know what?
06:39You know what?
06:40The only lie is good barbecue.
06:43Ooh.
06:43You know all that meat is killing people, right?
06:45Okay, okay, now.
06:46Let's not get started, you two.
06:48No, no.
06:48This grizzly bear over here always starts with me first.
06:51All right.
06:51I'm a bear.
06:52I'm a bear.
06:53Listen, time out.
06:54Hey, excuse me.
06:56Didn't you?
06:57Hey, sorry.
06:58Y'all agreed on to choose to get through this election, right?
07:01I thought we had.
07:02We did.
07:02I don't remember that.
07:03You said it.
07:04I'll be nice.
07:04That's exactly how you said it.
07:05She does not sound like that.
07:07That's what you said.
07:08You.
07:11Everything done.
07:12Okay, you know what?
07:13I will get the flyer designed.
07:15Yeah, and I'll plaster them on everybody's doorstep the way she plastered her whack flyers
07:19on ours.
07:20All right.
07:21And I'll do an email blast on the flyer, like, twice a day.
07:24Okay, okay.
07:25And I'll prep some kind of gift or swag bags to give to everyone who comes by.
07:30See, now we think.
07:31Exactly.
07:31Well, I guess I better get to cooking.
07:33You're going to need some help with that, though?
07:35Yes, sir.
07:36Okay.
07:36A lot of you to prep.
07:37Well, seems like we got a great plan, everybody.
07:39We do.
07:40Yes.
07:40You know what?
07:43I feel like I'm part of the family.
07:46Yeah, see there you go.
07:47Your feelings are way off.
07:48Let's go.
07:49You always are.
07:50You're home.
07:50All right, I'm out.
07:51Don't let me home.
07:52She's going.
07:53No, I can't go today.
07:55No, I need to be here for when my step-sons arrive.
07:59Yeah.
08:00But, I don't know, maybe next weekend.
08:02Oh, speak of the angel.
08:04Listen, girl, I got to go.
08:06I'll talk to you later.
08:07Okay, bye.
08:08Hey, sweetie.
08:09Hey, Mom and Mom.
08:10How you doing?
08:12Not good.
08:13Oh, my goodness.
08:14Why are you not good?
08:15Where's your brother?
08:16I don't know.
08:17What do you mean you don't know?
08:19How don't you know?
08:20My mom tried to reach Dad, but she couldn't reach him.
08:23Oh, your dad is at a seminar today.
08:26Where's your mom?
08:28She's in the lobby.
08:29She said she wanted to talk to you.
08:31She wants to talk to me about Junior?
08:33Yes, ma'am.
08:35Go get your mom.
08:37Yes, ma'am.
08:38Okay.
08:40Calvin.
08:45Calvin, listen.
08:47I need you to...
08:48Okay.
08:49I need you to call me, okay?
08:51Love you.
08:52Hey, Miranda.
08:54Hey.
08:55Are you sure you're okay with this?
08:57Yes, I'm okay.
08:58Just come on in.
09:00Um, Christian said you wanted to talk to me about Junior?
09:03Yeah, there was a problem when I picked them up from school today.
09:07A problem?
09:08Is everything okay with Junior?
09:10He's okay, yeah.
09:11Um, Christian, baby, do me a favor.
09:13Can you go in your room for a moment so I can talk to Miss Laura?
09:15Yes, ma'am.
09:16Okay, baby.
09:16No, it's okay.
09:20So...
09:20What's going on?
09:24Okay, so...
09:25When I got to the school, they had tried to call Calvin.
09:28They could not reach him.
09:29And then they called Tracy, and Tracy had to come up to the school and pick up Junior early.
09:34I just...
09:35I just don't want Calvin to be alarmed.
09:37Yeah, well, I get it.
09:38And I appreciate you letting me know.
09:41So, why isn't Calvin answering the phone?
09:43Well, he's, um, he has a big presentation today for a seminar, and so he said his phone
09:47was going to be off for a few hours.
09:49I see.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Um, so what's going on, Miranda?
09:56Junior got suspended from school.
09:58Suspended?
09:59Oh, no.
09:59Suspended.
10:00And when I got to the school, Miss Morgan and all the parents were talking about it,
10:04and they were really upset.
10:06Oh, my gosh.
10:08I mean, I just, I cannot believe this.
10:10He's already on academic and disciplinary probation.
10:12I know.
10:13Calvin told me.
10:14Gosh.
10:16Oh, so, uh, what happened?
10:18Like, what did he do this time?
10:20Well, there was a nasty fight.
10:23A fight?
10:24Do you mind if I sit?
10:25Oh, no.
10:25Please, have a seat.
10:27A fight?
10:30Yes.
10:31And, um, I saw the other boy, and his lip was busted up pretty bad.
10:37Whoa.
10:43Oh, I am so disappointed in Junior.
10:49Yeah, I am, too.
10:51I just, I, I, he's been doing so good, I thought.
10:55No, no, he has been doing really well.
10:58I, I've seen a really big difference since he's been living with Calvin full time.
11:02Yeah.
11:02And I just want to say thank you.
11:04Thank you for allowing me to come up today because I really didn't want to have this conversation
11:10through Christian.
11:11No.
11:11Thank you for letting me know.
11:13Can I get you something to drink, Miranda?
11:14Oh, no, no, no.
11:15I'm, I'm fine.
11:16I'm fine.
11:17Sure?
11:17I'm, I'm sure.
11:19Um, Miranda, can we talk?
11:23Sure.
11:25Calvin said that you wanted to speak with me.
11:28I just, Laura, I just want to bury the hatchet.
11:34Miranda, I am sorry.
11:36This has been such a tough time dealing with you and Calvin's family and this whole thing.
11:43I mean, I get it.
11:44At this point, everyone is feeling some kind of way, but at the end of the day, if we're
11:50going to co-parent these boys, the line of communication has to stay open.
11:55I don't disagree.
11:57But you just don't want me in your house.
11:59Uh, it is my house now, Miranda.
12:04Laura, listen, I never mean to disrespect you in your house.
12:08Oh, Miranda, you have popped up unannounced on several occasions, all hours of the day.
12:16I mean, that sometimes can feel like it's a little disrespectful.
12:19I popped up because my child was here and needed me, or the other person who lives in
12:27this house needed something.
12:32I can say that a lot of my issues have been with Calvin.
12:35But I also need you to consider me when you pop up over here.
12:40Okay, listen, Laura.
12:42I don't want any problems, okay?
12:45But what I do need is a responsible example from us for these two boys to see.
12:55I can appreciate that.
12:56And I can agree with that.
12:58And I can agree that when I come to pick up or drop the boys off, I'll wait in the
13:04car.
13:04Not a problem.
13:05No, Miranda, I appreciate you saying that, but you don't have to do that.
13:08You should be able to come up here and speak with me at any time, especially if it's about
13:12the boys, or even if it's about Calvin.
13:15You should be able to do that.
13:16And, Laura, that's all I ask.
13:18Okay.
13:19And you have my number.
13:20I do.
13:20Okay.
13:23Calvin, the school has been trying to reach you.
13:25I know.
13:26I just hung up with Mrs. Morgan.
13:27Oh, okay.
13:28Good.
13:28So you know that Tracy picked up Junior earlier.
13:30Yes, I called Tracy.
13:34I'm picking Junior up when she's finished talking to him.
13:37Well, perfect.
13:37Then my work here is done.
13:39Uh, you too.
13:42Oh, don't look so perplexed.
13:43We talked.
13:45Everything good?
13:48Everything's fine, Callan.
13:52I just need to grab Christian.
13:54Christian!
13:55Come on, baby.
13:56It's time to go.
14:00Hey, Dad.
14:01Hey, son.
14:02I love you, man.
14:03Love you too, Dad.
14:06Bye, sweetie.
14:07Bye, Mom-alore.
14:08You be good.
14:09Hey, Miranda, thank you for being such an amazing mother to Christian.
14:12I do my best.
14:14Thank you for being such a great dad.
14:16Come on, babe.
14:18Bye, Miranda.
14:19Bye.
14:19Take care.
14:24You okay?
14:27I don't know what I'm going to do with Junior.
14:31We'll figure it out.
14:36I vowed to run a positive campaign.
14:40We are about positivity over here.
14:43All right?
14:44You enjoy.
14:46Oh.
14:48Here are some plates.
14:50Feel-good food for feel-good vibes.
14:52Yes.
14:53Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
14:55Meet my beautiful wife, Ella.
14:56Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
14:58Thank you all for coming.
15:00I'm Ella Payne.
15:01Eat up.
15:02Eat up.
15:03Y'all come back now, you hear?
15:08So how's it going, you two?
15:10Oh, better than I could have expected.
15:13Girl, we have had a steady stream of visitors.
15:16Well, look at that.
15:17Mm-hmm.
15:18So good things can happen when you two stop fighting and work together.
15:23Huh.
15:24I guess.
15:25Don't push it, Glo.
15:27Baby, can you bring me some more to go, Trace, please?
15:30Right away, Sauce Boss.
15:32Ooh, I thought you were changing that name.
15:35Oh, no, ma'am.
15:36Curtis, don't you change that name?
15:37I love sauce balls.
15:39Oh, we bought this.
15:40Miss Glo, Uncle Curtis, this is Miss Olivia and Charlotte.
15:44They live right around the corner.
15:45Hi, Olivia.
15:46Hello.
15:47I'm Glo.
15:48This is Chief Payne.
15:49Oh, yes, you used to be the fire chief.
15:51Yes, ma'am.
15:52We have lived around the corner from you for about five years now.
15:56My daughter Charlotte and my grandchildren also live with me.
15:59Well, it's nice to meet you, Charlotte.
16:02You like barbecue?
16:03I love barbecue.
16:05It's really barbecue.
16:06You got our vote, Miss Glo.
16:08Uh-oh, Curtis is famous for his barbecue.
16:11It's good.
16:12Listen, I have a bag here.
16:14It has a little gift and some information about me.
16:18I really appreciate you coming by.
16:20Oh, and we appreciate you having us.
16:24Don't forget your barbecue.
16:25Don't forget your barbecue.
16:26Mr. Bingo Lincoln.
16:27Yeah, dude.
16:29I never told me to bring this out to you, huh?
16:32Oh, thank you, CJ.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Jasmine, baby, you man want to give me
16:35some more sauce.
16:36I got you, sauce boss.
16:38Thank you, daddy.
16:40So, how's it going?
16:42It's the best thing we ever could have done.
16:44I'm hearing good things.
16:45I'm proud of you two.
16:47Well, I believe you always beat negativity
16:50by being positive.
16:52Yeah, that too.
16:53But at the end of the day,
16:54you cannot run a campaign on a lie.
16:56Okay?
16:57Now, we are good people,
16:58and that's the truth.
16:59Mm-hmm.
16:59And that will stand no matter
17:00how much they try to smear our name.
17:02Amen to that.
17:07Welcome.
17:08Welcome.
17:08Hi, I'm Glo,
17:11and this is Curtis,
17:13the sauce boss.
17:18Hey, babe.
17:20Hey, Mom.
17:21What's wrong, Calvin?
17:23Calvin Jr.
17:24I know.
17:25Miranda told me
17:27he got into another fight today.
17:29Yeah, and this school principal
17:30already came by
17:31and told me and Laura
17:32he's on academic
17:33and disciplinary probation.
17:35So what does that mean?
17:37It means if he doesn't get his act together,
17:39he's out of that school.
17:41Okay.
17:43All right, well, Calvin,
17:44what are you doing about it?
17:46You name it, I'm doing it.
17:48I help him with his homework.
17:49I took away his video games.
17:51I'm making him go to sleep early.
17:53I'm talking to him
17:53as much as I can.
17:55Those are the things
17:56I would tell you to do, babe.
17:57So you're doing right.
17:59You're doing well.
18:01Yeah, well,
18:02his principal thinks
18:02he needs counseling.
18:06Okay.
18:06Well, what do you think?
18:09You and Dad
18:10never send me to counseling.
18:11I don't know.
18:11Who cares about that?
18:13If they say
18:14he needs counseling, Calvin,
18:16that's okay.
18:18You are his daddy.
18:20And ultimately,
18:21you know what's best for him.
18:23Mom,
18:24I feel like I've done
18:25everything I can do.
18:26Well, keep doing it, Calvin.
18:28Don't you give up on that boy.
18:31Nothing.
18:32Okay.
18:33Okay.
18:34Now, out of your list
18:35that you gave,
18:36you were missing one thing.
18:39What's that?
18:40Sometimes, Calvin.
18:43We just got to pray.
18:47Yes, ma'am.
18:50Hey, babe,
18:51Miranda's on our way up.
18:53She has to tell us something.
18:54Oh, okay.
18:55I hope everything's okay.
18:56Yeah, me too.
19:03Hey, Miranda, come in.
19:04Hey.
19:04Hey, Miranda.
19:05Hey, guys.
19:06Just thank you guys
19:07for letting me come up.
19:08And I just really felt
19:10that I needed to talk
19:10to the two of you in person.
19:12Christian's at your mom's house, Calvin.
19:14Okay.
19:14What's going on, Miranda?
19:16Okay.
19:16So, I pressed Christian
19:18about what really happened
19:20with Junior.
19:21Mm-hmm.
19:23Junior didn't just beat
19:24that kid up.
19:24Ah, see?
19:25I knew it.
19:26I didn't believe it
19:27for one second.
19:27It didn't seem like him.
19:28Mm-hmm.
19:29So, Christian
19:31was being bullied
19:33and Junior
19:34was just protecting
19:35his brother.
19:36Bullied?
19:37Mm-hmm.
19:38Oh.
19:39So, Christian
19:39was being bullied.
19:40He didn't want to tell us.
19:42He told Junior.
19:44Huh.
19:44And Junior handled it.
19:46Wow.
19:47I wish he would've
19:48told me that.
19:49I wish he would've
19:50told us, too,
19:51but he was afraid
19:53that Christian
19:53was going to get in trouble.
19:55Calvin, Junior
19:56already thinks
19:57that you think he's bad.
20:00And he just
20:01took the fall for it
20:03because he didn't want
20:04Christian to be cast
20:05in a bad light.
20:07Wow.
20:13Dear God,
20:15I hope you hear my prayer.
20:18I know it's been a minute.
20:21In Jesus' name,
20:23amen.
20:31Hey, Dad.
20:32Hey, Junior.
