00:00Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:54Is this your family?
00:59Davey, you had something else, didn't you?
01:01What are your rules on asking leading questions?
01:04Oh, I'll take this one.
01:05The great thing about journalism, we have no rules.
01:08Yes, we do.
01:09Um, those are really tempting.
01:11Instead of saying something like,
01:13you were outraged by his behavior, weren't you?
01:16It'd be better to say something like,
01:18did you have a strong emotion, yes or no?
01:21Well, Mrs. Hanks taught us that we shouldn't ask yes or no questions
01:24because it discourages someone from elaborating.
01:29Yes.
01:30Okay, if there are no more questions, I think we can head into...
01:33Is there like a way we could come to you guys' school
01:35and shadow you for a bit?
01:36That's it.
01:50Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
08:37I don't have a lot of friends outside of my fishing collective, but Detrick is cool. He's nice, he's tall,
08:43smells good, and I'd like to think he would do the same for me if we become friends like I
08:50am planning.
08:52All right, this is humiliating.
08:58Hey, Wesley.
09:03Wesley, are you on mute? I didn't hear you say hello.
09:07I didn't say hello.
09:08Okay, well, this is Ned Sampson.
09:11The spelling Nazi.
09:12It was actually semantics, not spelling, but...
09:16But you're still a Nazi.
09:17No, I'm calling to apologize.
09:21Okay, not accepted.
09:23No one leaves this room until he accepts that apology.
09:27I'd really appreciate it if you took the story down, pal.
09:30Not gonna happen.
09:32Also, flammable and inflammable are the same.
09:36Wesley, I'm sorry, you're just wrong here.
09:39He's right.
09:40He's what?
09:40The same.
09:42Flammable and inflammable.
09:43That makes no sense.
09:44Cool, I'm gonna go.
09:45No, no, no, don't go.
09:47No, that, no.
09:48Wesley, hi, ciao.
09:51This is Esmeralda Grand, managing editor of TTT Online.
09:56Very cool, very sexy, very innovative.
10:00I want to apologize for Ned.
10:03He resents children because he can't have any of his own.
10:08He sat on a stove in high school and it was on.
10:12That's not true.
10:13That didn't happen.
10:14So, Ned's a premature grandpa with his print paper, but at TTT, we are completely different.
10:23Ice cream on Thursdays, very fun, very chill vibe, a lot of riz, nothing sass, nothing made,
10:32and we are also very concerned about climate change.
10:37We all get to have ice cream on Thursdays, Wesley.
10:40Everyone on the floor.
10:41It's not just digital.
10:41Yes, old man.
10:43TTT online, huh?
10:44Yes.
10:45It's definitely more my speed.
10:46Come in turn with me.
10:48Let's go lab.
10:49Looking forward to it.
10:50Ciao, bro.
10:51Hey, Wesley, he knows how to say goodbye.
10:54And that is how it's done.
10:57That was an absolute masterclass in talking to kids.
11:01Am I threatened by so, Wesley?
11:02Wesley, I'm not threatened by so, Wesley.
11:06The two types of media work completely differently.
11:08You have a blog.
11:10One person reads it.
11:11That's it.
11:12You have a paper.
11:13They might leave that in a coffee shop.
11:17Someone else comes in.
11:18They read it.
11:19They take it with them.
11:20They leave it on the bus.
11:21Now you've got two people reading it.
11:23Someone else picks that up.
11:24Three people.
11:26That person's homeless.
11:28They wrap themselves in it at night.
11:30Can't wrap yourself in a blog.
11:39I don't know how I can sugarcoat this, so I won't.
11:41At this point, we don't have a show.
11:44I repeat, we do not have a show!
11:49Pick that up.
11:51I see some of you are getting emotional.
11:53Do you know what would happen if we cried at Juilliard?
11:57Do I have to remind you that Defiance High School
12:00is mounting an amazing production of Bye Bye Birdie
12:03that's going to blow your asses off?
12:07All right.
12:08There we go.
12:08Mr. K?
12:10Mr. K?
12:31Let me fly up.
12:32No.
12:33Give me a 360.
12:34Like, you know, like, uh, the camera thing
12:36in the Oscars?
12:37You mean the glam bot?
12:38Uh-huh.
12:39Hey!
12:40Hey!
12:40What?
12:41Is it too much to ask
12:42to not have any flying robots in this office?
12:45I can't even think over here.
12:46We can't hear you, Kimberly.
12:48We're trying to work over here.
12:51Hey, you didn't say executive parking,
12:53so I was across the street in the parking lot.
12:55This is executive parking.
12:57Did you see what
12:58this little brat did?
13:02Esmeralda Grand, 51,
13:04editor of TTT Online,
13:05begged me to work for her, quote,
13:07sexy website.
13:09Was she hoping to violate
13:10more than child labor laws?
13:13You're a lot of things,
13:14but you're not...
13:1551!
13:16I know!
13:17It's slander!
13:18Yeah, okay.
13:19This kid is a menace.
13:21He's a threat to your paper.
13:25Like, if there is no truth teller
13:27who is going to preserve
13:29ethics in journalists
13:30and truth
13:31and all that other shit that you say.
13:35You're right.
13:36Are you on board
13:38for revenge?
13:39Ethical revenge, yes.
13:41We cut his brakes,
13:42and then what happens after
13:44is in the end of God.
13:45I think that's too much.
13:50Welcome to our playground.
13:52I don't think I've ever had the pleasure.
13:53Oh, wow.
13:54Wow.
13:55Mr. K is famously good
13:56at never forgetting
13:57a face or a voice.
13:58It's good to see you again.
13:59Ah.
14:01Yes.
14:02Mayor.
14:03So, I was a former student of yours.
14:05Oh.
14:06I auditioned for Anna,
14:07the lead in The King and I.
14:08Ah.
14:09You remind me of a young time daily.
14:11But you know who got that part?
14:13Our dear, dear Alison Page.
14:16Just a delightful little songbird.
14:18Now, a lot of people felt like
14:20she only got that part
14:21because her parents donated
14:22that fog machine.
14:23Mayor?
14:23Would you say that had anything
14:24to do with your decision making?
14:26What is this?
14:27Are you even a real paper?
14:28Yes, we're from the truth teller.
14:30Well, then let me tell you the truth.
14:32You didn't get the part
14:32because obviously you weren't good enough.
14:34And Alison Page was?
14:35Yeah.
14:36She was a soprano
14:37when the role was clearly
14:38meant for an alto.
14:40She improvised most of her lines,
14:42which is a little problematic
14:43for a show set in 1860s Siam.
14:45Oh, and she wasn't that good.
14:47Well, the space,
14:48what you did with it.
14:50I don't play favorites, Mayor.
14:53I play performers.
14:55Okay.
14:55And my apologies
14:56is that I can't recall anything,
14:58not a thing,
15:00about your audition.
15:01But I always remember the great ones.
15:04So you can deduce from there
15:06how you fared.
15:08And we're back!
15:12Turns out Mayor has a grudge
15:14against Mr. K.
15:15and, ooh, nope.
15:19Not arts and leisure related.
15:22We convince him
15:24his father
15:25is not his real father.
15:27Kids hate that.
15:29That's interesting.
15:31We smear
15:31a little dark shit
15:33on his retainer.
15:35Just a little teaspoon.
15:37How would we get into his...
15:39Through the window.
15:40We give him
15:41Lyme disease.
15:43I think
15:44I have
15:45the right kind of tics.
15:47My aunt has Lyme disease
15:48and it's not.
15:50Have you ever had that happen?
15:51Ken!
15:52Go away!
15:53We are working!
15:55Pardon me?
15:55We are working, Ken!
15:58Thank you!
16:00Jealous?
16:00Uh, no.
16:02No, no, no.
16:03I actually think
16:04it's quite good
16:04that Esmeralda
16:05and Ned
16:06are getting on so well.
16:07Really good.
16:08Good for business.
16:09But is it good?
16:10Really?
16:12I mean,
16:12Esmeralda and Ned
16:13don't really gel
16:14would be my one thought.
16:16Whereas, of course,
16:17for example,
16:18Esmeralda and I,
16:20well, we share
16:21a certain
16:21European sophistication.
16:24Not that
16:25the UK
16:25is currently
16:26in the EU.
16:28Thank God.
16:29I need to get back to work.
16:30Of course you do.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Yeah.
16:35Ooh.
16:36Which tape?
16:39Oh, you mean
16:40this tape.
16:42Um, so
16:42this is for
16:43my headaches,
16:45you know?
16:45So, the,
16:46the tape,
16:47um,
16:48like,
16:49pulls back
16:50the pain.
16:52Wait.
16:53I got it.
16:54I got it.
16:56We anonymously
16:57send
16:58Wesley
16:58a fake
17:00press release.
17:00If he publishes it,
17:02everyone finds out
17:03that he doesn't
17:04verify his sources
17:04and his whole
17:06reputation
17:06is destroyed.
17:08Oh, wow.
17:09Yes.
17:10Boom.
17:10Yeah.
17:11And so he's
17:11untrustworthy
17:12and I'm not 51.
17:14Yes.
17:14We just need
17:15a believable
17:16press release.
17:17Okay, so,
17:18um,
17:19layoffs.
17:20Potential
17:21upcoming layoffs
17:22at Corning Glass.
17:23Wow.
17:25Incredible.
17:26Such a perfect
17:27level of blend.
17:28How do you do that?
17:29I, I,
17:30I,
17:30It comes naturally.
17:31You're doing it, right?
17:36Um,
17:36Nicole.
17:44Do,
17:45um,
17:46do you have
17:47the,
17:47the new numbers
17:48on the,
17:48the half page ads?
17:51Yeah.
17:51I'll send them
17:52right over.
17:53Cool.
17:53Thanks.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Detrick may
18:03have gotten
18:03the message.
18:06Phew.
18:08Off the record?
18:10Yeah.
18:11Mr. K is a character.
18:13A lot of insecurity
18:14for such a tall man.
18:15Yes.
18:17Would you say
18:17he's also arrogant?
18:18I mean,
18:18some people can be both.
18:19he manages to drop
18:21Juilliard
18:21to every conversation.
18:23Yeah.
18:23I went to Yale.
18:24I never bring it up.
18:26Is there anything else
18:27you can tell me about him?
18:28I just think it's
18:29all an act.
18:30Thank you.
18:31Yes,
18:31it is all an act.
18:32That is so great.
18:33Can I use that as a quote?
18:34Oh,
18:35absolutely not.
18:36The last teacher
18:37who spoke poorly
18:38of Mr. K
18:39got reassigned
18:40to a different school district
18:41like a bad priest
18:43in the night.
18:44Now,
18:44you want a quote?
18:45He's a pillar
18:46of the community.
18:51Don't be fooled
18:52by the pink.
18:53Go!
18:54He is not playing dolls.
18:56Brian,
18:56start walking.
18:57He is talking the halls
18:58for the thrill of the kill.
19:00Right faces,
19:01wide eyes.
19:01Every person at school
19:02is aware of his...
19:04What do you think?
19:05Weak,
19:05experts,
19:07forced loss
19:08of 300 jobs.
19:10Wow.
19:11Miral,
19:11it's so convincing.
19:13You sure Joanna Pringlebottom
19:15sounds like
19:15the real head of PR
19:16of Corning Glass?
19:18Nat,
19:18I don't want to be here
19:19all night,
19:20okay?
19:21Should we really do this?
19:22Maybe it's like
19:23an angry email
19:24that you write
19:26and don't send.
19:27It's like we got it
19:28out of our system.
19:29Nat.
19:30Yeah.
19:31You know,
19:32when I was
19:33a little girl,
19:34one night,
19:36my mom
19:36entered in my room
19:38and you know
19:39what she told me?
19:40What'd she say to you?
19:41She said
19:52what's a synonym
19:53for atrocious?
19:55I'm not asking.
20:01It's...
20:03Okay.
20:05Emma Gadsden
20:05gets Alphaba
20:06and look,
20:07big ad
20:08from her family's
20:09contracting business.
20:112014,
20:12Kristen Mayhew,
20:13her mom is
20:13comptroller of
20:14Hollywood Casino.
20:15Okay.
20:15And here,
20:15the full-page ad.
20:17Sergio Giacomo,
20:182016,
20:19okay?
20:19He was actually
20:20pretty good
20:20and did end up
20:21going to Broadway,
20:22but his parents
20:22own the local Dillard's
20:23and here,
20:24the full-page ad.
20:26Okay.
20:26I mean,
20:27this has been
20:27going on for years.
20:28Mr. K has clearly
20:29just been,
20:30you know,
20:30feathering his nest.
20:33Um,
20:34if there were
20:35ill-gotten gains,
20:36I wish you would've
20:37spent the money
20:38on voice lessons
20:39for the kids.
20:42Okay.
20:43Mayor.
20:44Yeah?
20:45I see what you see,
20:47but this
20:48is not hard proof.
20:51Right?
20:52Maybe the proud parents
20:53bought ads after
20:54to support their kids.
20:55I know.
20:56I just know
20:56he's full of it.
20:57Well.
21:01Are you on our word?
21:03Ken,
21:03you cannot say that.
21:06You can,
21:07but it's just an initial.
21:08It's,
21:09it's what the initial
21:10stands for.
21:10Well,
21:10then I'll say
21:11the whole word,
21:11won't I?
21:13Rascal.
21:14Are you a rascal?
21:16I was just trying
21:17to speed things up.
21:18Ken,
21:18come on.
21:18What is it?
21:19So Wesley's got
21:20the scoop.
21:21What?
21:22The corning glass
21:24layoffs.
21:25Oh my God,
21:26he ran with it.
21:27How are you letting
21:28a child beat you
21:29to this?
21:30No, no, Ken.
21:32I'm the one
21:33beating the child.
21:35Excuse me?
21:35Ken,
21:36Ken.
21:37Yeah?
21:37No.
21:38No.
21:39One thing I would say
21:40is
21:43I don't love
21:44feeling excluded.
21:45And I know
21:46I'm not really
21:46contributing anything
21:47to whatever this is,
21:48but I do like
21:50the idea of being
21:51able to stand
21:52with you
21:53just for them,
21:54you know,
21:54so it looks like
21:55I'm taking part.
21:57I can laugh
21:58when you laugh.
21:59I don't need
21:59to understand
22:00the joke.
22:01Right?
22:03Okay.
22:03Okay?
22:04I think you can leave.
22:05Off I go.
22:06Alright.
22:09Fantastic.
22:13God,
22:14finally.
22:17We got him?
22:18We got him.
22:21So now we finish him.
22:23I guess.
22:25Mr. Kirby celebrates
22:2730th year at
22:27Derrysburg.
22:28Mr. K is a pillar
22:29of the community.
22:30This is fine.
22:32It's not.
22:32You could have
22:33written a hit piece.
22:35But you didn't.
22:36You stuck to your
22:36principles.
22:39Hello.
22:41Speaking.
22:42Oh, yeah.
22:43Thanks for getting
22:44back to me.
22:46Uh-huh.
22:49Yeah.
22:50One second.
22:51Are you sure?
22:54I made one small
22:55change to my piece.
22:56Turns out,
22:57Juilliard's favorite
22:58son never went
22:58to Juilliard.
22:59He's terrible.
23:01He had it coming.
23:03He had it coming.
23:05He only had
23:06himself to blame.
23:09Oh, my God.
23:09Maybe he was right.
23:11No, I'm just rusty.
23:25Nicole.
23:26Can I talk to you
23:27for a second?
23:27Uh, yeah.
23:31Um, I feel like I've
23:33feel like I've been
23:35a bit much lately.
23:37Oh, no.
23:39Well, yeah.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:42Um, I didn't realize
23:44at the time.
23:45I just...
23:47Hear me out.
23:48I feel like I need
23:49to tell you that
23:50I like you.
23:52Yeah, I'm really
23:53not in a place
23:54right now
23:54to start...
23:56Like 3.5.
23:59What?
24:00I like you 3.5.
24:04Yeah, out of 10?
24:05No, out of 5.
24:07Because out of 10
24:08would be like,
24:09you hate me.
24:10Yeah, no.
24:11I like you,
24:12but just like...
24:13Just casual.
24:16All right.
24:18See you later.
24:20All right.
24:24Popular Chai's blog
24:26spreads vicious lies.
