00:01:07I just think you bend too hard on him, George. Look at him. Kid's lost his swagger.
00:01:12Uh, I'm not sure that one really had that much swagger to begin with.
00:01:16I had swagger.
00:01:21Look at me. Junior year. Re-elected class president for the third year straight.
00:01:27Come on, George. That's impressive.
00:01:30Oh, yeah. Right up there with crossing the Delaware.
00:01:34Look at that double-breasted jacket. I look great.
00:01:38Don't forget your Jimmy hat, my winning slogan.
00:01:41Quick, somebody grab my quill and ink.
00:01:45I was victorious. Freshman, sophomore, and junior year. What happened senior?
00:01:51Manish Singh happened. Manish Singh was a herb. Couldn't have run against me junior year. He would have gotten smoked.
00:01:57Smoked herb. That's my vote.
00:01:59Hey, Jimmy.
00:02:01Uh...
00:02:04Um, I'm clocking out. I just...
00:02:07We seem to be missing a couple of the icons of American history dolls.
00:02:10So you wouldn't happen to, uh...
00:02:14Yeah.
00:02:17Hey, um...
00:02:18Are you still planning on going to that Nish Singh rally at the old high school tonight?
00:02:22Uh, probably.
00:02:23If you need a plus one, I can...
00:02:26Oh, thank you.
00:02:28I don't...
00:02:28That is so nice.
00:02:30I...
00:02:30But I...
00:02:30I'm good.
00:02:31Yeah.
00:02:32I just...
00:02:32I remember how rough that place can be.
00:02:35Alone.
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:37No.
00:02:37Not for me, actually.
00:02:38Richardson High School.
00:02:39I was...
00:02:39I was actually a pretty big deal...
00:02:41around there.
00:02:47Yeah.
00:02:48Okay.
00:02:49Uh, well, anyway, um...
00:02:51Don't forget to bring back the dolls.
00:03:23See you later.
00:03:29Uh...конtha
00:03:30Wow. Woo
00:03:33Bye-bye.
00:03:34Bye-bye.
00:03:35Bye-bye.
00:03:37Bye-bye.
00:04:22Hey, I thought we had a customer.
00:04:28I got it, Pop.
00:04:30Don't know what I'd do without you, son.
00:04:46Oh, my one clean shirt.
00:04:54Oh, my one clean shirt.
00:05:37Every morning, I wake up, look around, and think, I must have made some pretty darn good decisions to end
00:05:42up here.
00:05:43And wouldn't it be nice if more people from the great state of Texas could wake up and feel that
00:05:47way, too?
00:05:54Good things don't just come about by love.
00:05:57They come about by the choices we make.
00:05:59And we've got a big one coming up on November 4th.
00:06:02Choose wisely.
00:06:03I'm Manish Singh, and I approve this message.
00:06:23I'll see you next time.
00:06:45Oh, gosh.

00:12:40behalf of the student council manish singh is actually the reason i wanted to come to this
00:12:44school in the first place but you came to hear him speak not me so without further ado the governor
00:12:51of texas and 1995 rhs grad manish singh
00:13:15richardson high school rising phoenix what up
00:13:24Thank you so much for that gracious introduction, Noah.
00:13:27I know a winner when I see one, and I have no doubt
00:13:30that it's only a matter of time before you're working for me.
00:13:39Wow, I'm really emotional right now.
00:13:42When I think back on my political career,
00:13:46I always come back to where it began.
00:13:49This place, where I won my first election
00:13:52for senior class president.
00:13:58As a matter of fact, I just ran into my opponent
00:14:00in that race a few moments ago.
00:14:03Jimmy Bauer, you still out there?
00:14:09Oh, there he is. Jimmy!
00:14:12Give a wave, little buddy.
00:14:16Jimmy Bauer, everyone.
00:14:20You know, that election changed everything for me.
00:14:23Am I in hell?
00:14:24It changed what I thought of myself.
00:14:27It changed who I believed I could become.
00:14:31So now, a very special award to help someone in this room
00:14:36become the next Manish Singh.
00:14:47Thank you, Governor.
00:14:49We've established the first annual Manish Singh
00:14:52Senior Class Presidential Scholarship,
00:14:54which will be awarded to the winner of this year's
00:14:57RHS Senior Class Presidential Election.
00:15:04This scholarship will allow the winning student
00:15:06a paid internship in Manish's office
00:15:09with personal mentorship from the governor himself.
00:15:14Now, I hope this helps rocket launch an RHS student
00:15:18who's always dreamed of a bigger life,
00:15:21but just didn't know how to make that all possible.
00:15:32Jimmy, no.
00:15:33Jimmy Bauer, 2024, you heard?
00:15:36That chair's adjustable.
00:15:40Hey, you guys have Zima?
00:15:41I think they stopped making that in the mid-'90s, man.
00:15:45Just because something goes low pro for a hot minute
00:15:48doesn't mean it gave up on its life.
00:15:50I'll keep my eye out.
00:15:52That scholarship is for a high school student.
00:15:56Well, I guess it's time to finally become one.
00:15:58I heard someone could make that happen for me.
00:16:00What was it, 35 seconds?
00:16:02Yeah, that was to get your diploma.
00:16:05This is...
00:16:05I don't know what this is.
00:16:08It's too sad to be in a mid-life crisis.
00:16:10This is my chance to rewrite history.
00:16:12Now Jimmy wins the class election.
00:16:16Now Jimmy works in the governor's mansion.
00:16:18Now Jimmy marries Charlie Harper.
00:16:20Everything that's supposed to happen
00:16:22finally fucking happens!
00:16:26Check, please.
00:16:27I'm ready to re-enroll.
00:16:30These are my conditions.
00:16:31Take them or leave them.
00:16:33Leave them.
00:16:34If your answer is leave them,
00:16:37then I never want to hear from you
00:16:39about going back to high school.
00:16:41And I mean never, never, never, never again.
00:16:47Thanks for the ride.
00:17:03Oh, my God.
00:17:08Oh, my God.
00:17:09Oh, my God.
00:17:15Oh, my God.
00:17:27You're late.
00:17:28I tried paging you, but I don't think they went through.
00:17:31I called like six or seven times, but, you know,
00:17:34I'm just not good with technology.
00:17:35Chin up, Pop.
00:17:36I got some great news.
00:17:38Oh, yeah?
00:17:39Oh, hang on.
00:17:42Stan's memorabilia.
00:17:43Stan speaking.
00:17:45Oh, hi, Kai.
00:17:50Oh, I see.
00:17:52No, no, yes.
00:17:54No, of course not.
00:17:55But when you put it like that,
00:17:58well, of course I don't want to stand in the way
00:18:00of your personal growth.
00:18:02But I need...
00:18:04Well, two weeks is pretty, pretty standard.
00:18:09Yeah.
00:18:10Okay.
00:18:10Bye.
00:18:12She quit.
00:18:14Says the work schedule is presenting too many obstacles
00:18:17to her self-actualization.
00:18:19Needs more time to work on her music.
00:18:21Now I have to try to replace her.
00:18:23And how?
00:18:24I have no idea.
00:18:25I mean, she...
00:18:26I can barely afford your salary as it is.
00:18:29Salary?
00:18:29This is a disaster.
00:18:31You want to hear my good news?
00:18:33Remember the election in 1995?
00:18:35The day that changed our lives forever?
00:18:40I'm gonna fix it, Pop.
00:18:42I'm gonna go back to high school,
00:18:43I'm gonna rerun for class president,
00:18:45and this time I'm gonna win!
00:18:47Who will cover your shifts?
00:18:50Really?
00:18:52Don't worry about your store, Pop.
00:18:54Don't worry about anything.
00:18:55After today, it's gonna be a whole new world.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:58I guess I could just...
00:19:00I could just close early on the weekdays.
00:19:04You'll see.
00:19:05Believe me, you will see.
00:19:10The whole wide world
00:19:13is finally going to see.
00:19:23This is insane!
00:19:25Correction.
00:19:26That kid who 3D printed a human vagina was insane.
00:19:31This...
00:19:31is beyond insane.
00:19:34I agree.
00:19:35How is the governor gonna feel when he finds out
00:19:37his new high school intern
00:19:39doesn't know how to use the internet?
00:19:41They know each other!
00:19:43That's even worse!
00:19:46My brother's situation
00:19:49is the reason I became an educator in the first place.
00:19:53Well, I'm inspired.
00:19:54Oh, gosh.
00:19:55Okay.
00:19:56I don't...
00:19:57I don't shop.
00:19:58I don't...
00:19:59travel.
00:20:00I saw the word hobby in the newspaper the other day
00:20:02and I didn't know what it meant!
00:20:04This is getting awkward.
00:20:06I've been a principal at Richardson for nine years.
00:20:11And this is the one thing I'm asking for.
00:20:16I need you to hear me now
00:20:18and hear me good.
00:20:21If you screw up this scholarship with the governor,
00:20:25it's your ass on the line.
00:20:27If this little experiment backfires,
00:20:30everything that you worked for
00:20:32is gonna go right down the drain.
00:20:40That was a long drain.
00:20:45What's the worst he can do?
00:20:48This is how we do it.
00:20:52This is how we do it.
00:20:55La la la la la.
00:20:59La la la la la.
00:21:02This is how we do it.
00:21:04La la la la.
00:21:09This is how we do it.
00:21:12You've been here 15 minutes
00:21:13and I've already received four complaints.
00:21:15That doesn't seem possible.
00:21:17Ancient white male propositioning underage girls.
00:21:21Propositioning?
00:21:22Definite pedo in hideous tan suit
00:21:24taking down names of potential victims.
00:21:25Keto?
00:21:26This one just says help next to a drawing of you.
00:21:31I'm trying to learn the names of the voters.
00:21:37Terry Janis is a freshman, Jimmy.
00:21:39Great!
00:21:40I'm asking for her vote, not a picture of her boobies.
00:21:42Only members of the student council can vote in class elections
00:21:44and freshmen are not a part of the student council.
00:21:47Okay, that's a change.
00:21:48In 1995, everybody was eligible to vote for senior class president.
00:21:51I distinctly remember handing out Jimmy Hats like this to each and every member.
00:21:54It's not 1995, Jimmy.
00:21:56A lot of things have changed since 1995.
00:22:00And Jimmy Hats is a sexually suggestive and completely inappropriate slogan for a school sponsored election.
00:22:06That's the whole joke!
00:22:08And freshmen aren't allowed to vote!
00:22:12You want a snowball's chance in hell at winning this election?
00:22:15Stop living in the past and start figuring out how things are done in the actual here and now present!
00:22:41I'm sorry guys!
00:22:44OK, see you later.
00:23:08Hey, bud, what's your name?
00:23:11I'm Jimmy Bauer, newest candidate for senior...
00:23:13Change your nature! Change your nature!
00:23:22Molesting a student in the lunchroom?
00:23:25Molesting? I was trying to say hello.
00:23:27Kylo has social anxiety, and unmolested lunches are part of a carefully constructed plan worked out by his therapist.
00:23:33I didn't molest anybody.
00:23:35Molest, meaning pester, aggravate, annoy.
00:23:38Okay, well, it meant something very different in my day.
00:23:41I'm trying to connect with my electorate, which has turned out to be harder than I thought.
00:23:50Hi, boss. I got your email. Happy to help. Who's the nervous Nelly?
00:23:54Noah. Thank you. Perfect timing. He's right here.
00:24:00No, no, no. I meant the high schooler who needs help with their campaign.
00:24:06Yes.
00:24:06For class president.
00:24:10Yes.
00:24:10You're running for senior class president.
00:24:14But you're like 50.
00:24:16I'm 35.
00:24:17Mm-hmm.
00:24:1837.
00:24:1939.
00:24:20I'm in my early mid-40s.
00:24:23Is this legal?
00:24:24Unclear.
00:24:27Well, like any man in a tan suit, I'm sure you mean well.
00:24:30Mm-hmm.
00:24:37First things first, know thy competition.
00:24:40The incumbent, Faiza Al-Ghamdi, junior class president.
00:24:44Faiza's had one singular goal since the day she was born.
00:24:47Get into Yale.
00:24:49The challenger, Mededagay Meet Tom Ajazi.
00:24:53He's Mr. Fun Guy.
00:24:54You can't beat Tom Ajazi.
00:24:57These same two students have run against each other in every single election since freshman
00:25:01year.
00:25:03Well, I guess I'm your Ross Perot.
00:25:07To qualify as a candidate, you need to accrue points by attending school-sponsored activities.
00:25:15Betty?
00:25:16Betty?
00:25:16Sure.
00:25:18Oh, my God.
00:25:56You'll need a strong social media presence, which you'll need to use to regularly connect with your electorate. Please tell
00:26:02me you have social media.
00:26:03I had a Facebook page, but I... I deleted it.
00:26:08Okay, TikTok. Snapchat. Insta. Okay, okay, hold on. Let's just walk this back for a second.
00:26:16Before we find you the right platform, we should probably make sure you have something actually meaningful to say.
00:26:21Believe me, I got plenty to say.
00:26:23But, uh, the thing is that students nowadays, they face very complex issues.
00:26:29I think you're forgetting. I was president of this place freshman, sophomore, and junior year.
00:26:33Anything you guys are dealing with, I assure you, I have dealt with before.
00:26:38What's next on the list?
00:26:40Gender-neutral bathrooms.
00:26:47Why can't you just use this one?
00:26:49Because I'm not a girl.
00:26:50So then use the boys.
00:26:53I'm not a boy.
00:26:54Is this like a RuPaul situation?
00:26:56RuPaul is a drag queen.
00:26:58So, yes?
00:27:00Look, if you're not up to date with gender identities, you might not be up to the task of running
00:27:05for class president in 2024.
00:27:08I'm honestly not trying to piss you off.
00:27:10No pun intended.
00:27:12No pun achieved.
00:27:23Look, just really think about this one, okay?
00:27:27Because this issue is huge.
00:27:29That's what she said.
00:27:32They said?
00:27:35Oh.
00:27:44Machiavelli's The Prince.
00:27:47One of the most famous treatises on leadership in Western literature.
00:27:52So what's it about?
00:27:54Faiza.
00:27:55Power.
00:27:57Go on.
00:27:58Machiavelli felt that power and the pursuit of it trumped everything.
00:28:02That even brutal violence was acceptable as a way to hold on to it.
00:28:05That's right.
00:28:06And what do we think about this theory, class?
00:28:10Stupid.
00:28:15Go on, meat.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:20Uh...
00:28:22Stupid...
00:28:31Meat.
00:28:32I mean, if you can just do anything and you get power, then, like, that makes you kind of a
00:28:37dick.
00:28:39You're not supposed to hurt people.
00:28:41It's pretty basic.
00:28:42But Machiavelli felt that being a good person is different than being a good leader.
00:28:47Correct.
00:28:48Or as he so famously put it, the ends justify the means.
00:29:01Welcome to the 8th Annual RHS Senior Class Presidential Debate.
00:29:16As your junior class president, I have helped to ensure that we've gotten many things accomplished
00:29:22this year, including more healthy options at the lunchroom and greater access to charging stations throughout the school.
00:29:30As your senior class president, I plan to build on these successes with more concrete, actionable plans.
00:29:40Okay, meat.
00:29:41You're up next.
00:29:4230 seconds.
00:29:44Uh...
00:29:44I haven't done diddly-squat because I've never won diddly-squat.
00:29:51You can't beat!
00:29:53You can't beat!
00:29:55Don't beat!
00:29:56You can't beat!
00:30:10Don't beat!
00:30:11Don't beat!
00:30:12Don't beat!
00:30:13You know, I think that student elections are a little bit stupid, honestly, because they
00:30:19only benefit the winner.
00:30:20Uh-huh.
00:30:21If I am going to be elected as your class president, I am going to do things not just for
00:30:26me, but
00:30:27for all of you.
00:30:29I mean, I remember what sucks about high school.
00:30:32So if I'm elected, I would do shorter classes.
00:30:36Yeah!
00:30:37I would do, uh, free cinnamon rolls.
00:30:40Yeah!
00:30:41How about ping-pong table?
00:30:43Yeah!
00:30:44Oh, you know we should get, like, those, uh, those shoulder massage machines from the mall?
00:30:53Uh, that seemed good in my head.
00:30:54Um, how about, um, a permanent ban on final exams?
00:31:04All right.
00:31:05Thank you, candidates.
00:31:06Now, onto the questions.
00:31:08Jimmy, you're first.
00:31:10Obviously, a middle-aged man returning to high school could be perceived as a sad sort
00:31:14of cautionary tale for the rest of us.
00:31:17What do you have to say to students who feel you may not be up to speed on the needs
00:31:21of
00:31:21today's teens?
00:31:23Um, I would say don't be ageist.
00:31:26That's fair.
00:31:28As a follow-up, can you tell me how you feel about Charli D'Amelio?
00:31:34I'm sorry, who?
00:31:40That was a gotcha question.
00:31:42I thought you were on my side.
00:31:44If I'm not, I am on the side of a free and fair election, and that's all.
00:31:48Besides, you're being kind of a dick to FISA.
00:31:50So, I'm sorry.
00:31:50Charli D'Amelio, dude!
00:31:52Come on!
00:31:53It's politics, Jimmy.
00:31:54You gotta grow a thicker skin.
00:31:56How am I supposed to know who some 19-year-old blogger is?
00:31:59She's the most famous TikToker in the world, mostly for appropriation, but still.
00:32:04Okay, well, sorry I'm not up on my latest TikTok.
00:32:06If you want to compete in this election, maybe you should be.
00:32:09I'm in.
00:32:11Crinch.
00:32:12I'm in.
00:32:15Teach me how to use it.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18Look, I'm sorry I didn't know how to do the bathroom thing.
00:32:21I might be ignorant, but I'm not a dick.
00:32:27I don't have a social media page because my life has been a complete and utter trainwreck
00:32:32for the past 25 years.
00:32:37Honestly, I've been a little embarrassed to advertise it.
00:32:464 o'clock, you're buying, and then after that you're on your own, okay?
00:32:50Okay.
00:32:53No, no, no.
00:32:54You need to find a date to homecoming, because right now half the student population thinks
00:32:58you're a child molester.
00:33:04So this is Neville Chamberlain's actual umbrella?
00:33:08I mean, it's plastic.
00:33:09Well, it's an actual replica.
00:33:11But yeah.
00:33:13That's not a thing.
00:33:14Well, you know, the real umbrella is probably in a museum somewhere.
00:33:18So you're just selling us plastic knickknacks that I can find for half the price on Amazon?
00:33:24Well, I wouldn't.
00:33:27You know, my son Jimmy, he can sell it better.
00:33:30I'm not usually the pitch man.
00:33:33Let's get out of here, Tommy.
00:33:34This place sucks.
00:33:41Can I help you?
00:33:42Are you married?
00:33:45Excuse me?
00:33:46I mean, do you have a boyfriend or...?
00:33:48Mr. Bauer, this kind of suggestive banter is frowned upon in today's school system.
00:33:53Oh, sorry.
00:33:55Still getting acclimated to all the changes.
00:33:59Um...
00:33:59I am asking you this because I'm running for senior class president, as you know, and we
00:34:04have to accrue a whole bunch of Rising Phoenix points, and I was wondering if, uh...
00:34:11If you...
00:34:12If it's...
00:34:14I...
00:34:14I was wondering if you'd go with me to homecoming.
00:34:16As an act of public service and all.
00:34:21You don't remember me, do you?
00:34:29Did Jimmy Bauer ever ask me homecoming?
00:34:41You're Ama Fernandez?
00:34:42So you do remember.
00:34:44Wow.
00:34:45Well, don't look so shy.
00:34:47No, I...
00:34:47I just...
00:34:48I know all caterpillars become butterflies, but...
00:34:51Not all caterpillars.
00:34:53As you well know.
00:34:55Only the special few.
00:35:03You know that stuff's not healthier than real beef, right?
00:35:06Healthier for the planet.
00:35:11Methane emissions from cattle production is one of the single biggest contributors to climate change.
00:35:15Your generation is worried about cow farts?
00:35:17Yup.
00:35:18Thanks to your generation, it was worried about who could drive the bigger Hummer.
00:35:21I never had a Hummer.
00:35:22Oh, well, that's sad, dude.
00:35:26If you're so worried about this stuff, how come you don't run for office?
00:35:29Nobody's voting for a non-binary class officer.
00:35:31I can barely get through the day without some asshole blowing up my phone.
00:35:34Is Micah still doing that?
00:35:35It's not just Micah.
00:35:36Who's Micah?
00:35:37Micah was Noah's elementary school boyfriend whose fragile masculinity could not handle their coming out.
00:35:42Have you reported this to Ama?
00:35:43Oh my God, this is so boring.
00:35:45No, I'm not the first non-binary kid in Texas to deal with bullies.
00:35:48It's not boring.
00:35:53You know what?
00:35:54Let's just teach you TikTok, okay?
00:35:56Okay.
00:35:57And don't blame us if they ban it next month.
00:35:58Mmm.
00:36:01All right.
00:36:04So, this is called a smartphone.
00:36:07It replaced the pager in popularity among high school students around.
00:36:11Is this Y2K?
00:36:12So these are filters.
00:36:13Filters?
00:36:13Mm-hmm.
00:36:14Oh, look at that.
00:36:15That's awesome.
00:36:17You see that?
00:36:18It's amazing.
00:36:19Yeah.
00:36:19That suits you.
00:36:21Mm-hmm.
00:36:22That's really cool.
00:36:22Whoa.
00:36:24Oh, look at that.
00:36:39Okay, I think I could definitely master this.
00:36:45Jimmy Bauer, senior class president.
00:36:47That's my new iPhone number right there.
00:36:48Just got it.
00:36:48Senior class president Jimmy B.
00:36:50That's an iPhone right there.
00:36:52Text it.
00:36:52TikTok it.
00:36:53I'm around.
00:36:54No problem.
00:36:54You came!
00:36:56Full disclosure, I'm officially here as a school chaperone.
00:36:59So, technically I'm getting paid.
00:37:01You had me at technically.
00:37:06You want to show these fools how it's done?
00:37:07I remember this one.
00:37:10You got me!
00:37:10Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:37:17Nah, nah, nah nah, nah, nah.
00:37:18Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:37:18We come the hot table,
00:37:20We're da-rah.
00:37:21I'm the lyrical gang.
00:37:22So, we're da-rah.
00:37:23Big of the two inna the year,
00:37:24We're da-rah.
00:37:25Still love you like that.
00:37:27We're da-rah.
00:37:29Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:37:33Nah, nah.
00:37:35Heh, heh.
00:37:36Ha, heh, ha, ha.
00:37:37Hey!
00:37:49Hey, you're up early.
00:37:50Yeah, I thought I'd put in a Saturday shift.
00:37:52Felt like you could use the help.
00:37:54Well, you know, I can always use the help.
00:37:57Hey, speaking of which, can you help me get this down?
00:38:03I don't think I've ever seen the walls without that poster.
00:38:05You know, I always really loved this one.
00:38:08Here, grab it. Ready?
00:38:10One, two, three.
00:38:19Wow.
00:38:21I didn't realize how faded these walls had become.
00:38:25Yeah, well, 25 years can do that.
00:38:29I'm giving these guys three minutes.
00:38:35Jimbo, twice in one week. I love it.
00:38:39What is he doing here?
00:38:42All right, pen.
00:38:49Where are we gonna put this?
00:38:50Uh, right here, front and center.
00:38:53Frame her up. I'm timing you.
00:38:54We're hanging that in our store?
00:38:56While we're on the subject of memorabilia,
00:38:59I thought you'd appreciate its historical significance.
00:39:09Ah, perfect.
00:39:18Photo?
00:39:22Good to see you.
00:39:25Sorry, which of our constituents come to the store?
00:39:28Let me walk you out.
00:39:38It's not that bad, son.
00:39:43I had to do something, Jimmy.
00:39:45Manish was furious.
00:39:46He didn't seem furious.
00:39:48Do you realize, as a direct result of your campaign,
00:39:51the superintendent has been terrified Manish is gonna pull his scholarship?
00:39:54I have been terrified I'm gonna lose my job.
00:39:57Dad is terrified he's gonna lose this store.
00:40:00We calmed them down with one stupid piece of free publicity
00:40:03and left your campaign entirely intact.
00:40:06I would think you might thank us.
00:40:09I would think you might thank us.
00:40:31I would think you might thank us.
00:40:40Do any of you feel trapped by your life and all the people in it?
00:40:44Who are supposed to have your back, but when push comes to shove,
00:40:47never, ever do.
00:40:50Do you ever wish you could just go from this,
00:40:51Oh, sure, yes.
00:40:53That's fine.
00:40:54Whatever you want, don't worry about me to this.
00:40:57AHHHHH!
00:41:47K means thousand, right?
00:41:51Let's throw a party to celebrate my tiktok We have to! A massive kegger! 17,000 views!
00:42:02People don't really throw keggers anymore, do you mean?
00:42:05Ma'am, don't pay for everyone else's drinks.
00:42:08That's shocking. Let's bring them back.
00:42:10No, how am I supposed to get there? I'm not gonna pay for a car.
00:42:13I'll just borrow my dad's.
00:42:15Which one of us is 16 again?
00:42:17This is a game-changing moment, Noah. It needs to be celebrated properly.
00:42:21This tiktok could be the centerpiece of my campaign.
00:42:25When they look back on the trajectory of this election, this will be the moment.
00:42:30The one single inflection point after which everything changed.
00:42:36As the elections chair of the student council, I would think you might be able to appreciate its historical significance.
00:42:48Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
00:42:56Who's the biggest herb in Texas?
00:43:03No doubt.
00:43:04No doubt.
00:43:32No doubt.
00:43:34You don't like that?
00:43:36I'm alive! I'm a freakin' alive!
00:43:45I hurt my back. You guys wanna turn on the K?
00:43:48Oh, thank you though.
00:43:50Uh, we're gonna go wander.
00:43:52Don't abandon us. You're alright.
00:43:55Got my dad's whip all night!
00:44:00Don't leave home without it!
00:44:04Don't leave home without it!
00:44:09Don't leave home without it!
00:44:13Don't leave home without it!
00:44:16Don't leave home without it!
00:44:18Don't leave home without it!
00:44:19A simple thumbs up would have sufficed.
00:44:22Do you wanna hang out?
00:44:24Texting you my address.
00:44:26Hanging out.
00:44:35Jimmy Bauer for President!
00:44:49He better not post that.
00:44:51So don't give me dark days.
00:44:53I already had those.
00:44:56I'm just trying to figure out
00:44:59How to beat myself right now.
00:45:02I don't wanna lay low.
00:45:03Hiding in the shadows.
00:45:06So I wake up.
00:45:07I get out of bed and stay up.
00:45:09Manish wasn't very nice to me in high school
00:45:11if you want the whole truth.
00:45:13I don't wanna lose my mind.
00:45:14It's high school.
00:45:15Was anybody really nice to anybody?
00:45:18You were.
00:45:22You were nice to everyone.
00:45:41You're a virus.
00:45:42He ditched us.
00:45:44He didn't ditch us.
00:45:45He's not here, no.
00:45:47We've walked around ten times.
00:45:49Fine.
00:45:50You hitch a ride with them then
00:45:51because you're so embarrassed of me.
00:45:54I'm not embarrassed.
00:45:57They're leaving.
00:46:03Wait up!
00:46:29There are 7 hours of back.
00:46:30I'm so lucky!
00:46:30Something take care of over me.
00:46:33It was sick to him.
00:46:39I'm not even nervous.
00:46:39There's a crazy pandemic.
00:46:39There is aים here,
00:46:39a 이용 at the time cycle.
00:46:39I go up十 able to go trail to save.
00:46:42You little bit faster.
00:46:45There were no more
00:46:45Movie days later.
00:46:45Where do you feel?
00:46:54Roar!
00:46:59Roar!
00:47:02Micah, right?
00:47:06Thank you for the support.
00:47:10I am Tick-Block Famous, baby!
00:47:13You ditched us.
00:47:14Oh, my gosh, Noah. I am so sorry.
00:47:17I totally forgot. Total brain freeze.
00:47:18I had a two-hour walk home where I legit thought
00:47:21I was gonna get killed.
00:47:24Throwing a keg party,
00:47:26serving God knows what to underage students,
00:47:29and using it as some kind of perverse campaign rally?
00:47:33Jimmy Bauer for president!
00:47:35Roar!
00:47:39Now, we can do this the easy way,
00:47:42or we can do this the hard way.
00:47:53The hard way, then.
00:47:58You think Al Franken got it bad?
00:48:01Just wait till I'm finished with you.
00:48:04You're about to become the high school poster boy
00:48:06before canceled.
00:48:13You're on your own.
00:48:20Do you have anything to say for yourself?
00:48:24Jimmy?
00:48:48It wasn't me.
00:48:52Hmm.
00:48:53You're saying this video that clearly shows you standing on a keg
00:48:56yelling,
00:48:57Jimmy Bauer for president, isn't you?
00:49:00Correct.
00:49:01You're gonna have to do better than that.
00:49:04I'm TikTok famous, Shawna.
00:49:06What does this have to do with TikTok?
00:49:07I'm just saying I just became famous on an app I'd literally never heard of a week ago.
00:49:11You don't think Fiza could have figured out how to deep state my image?
00:49:14It's deep fake, not deep state.
00:49:16See?
00:49:17She knows all about it.
00:49:18I don't even know the correct term.
00:49:19The only thing I know for sure is that whoever was at this illicit keg party just brought in that
00:49:23video.
00:49:24And if that person was Fiza, maybe she's the one that should be facing this interrogation.
00:49:27It's not an interrogation.
00:49:29This is insane.
00:49:29Well, then it's your word against mine, isn't it, sweetheart?
00:49:32And if it wasn't you, then who was it?
00:49:33I'd like to know.
00:49:36This whole thing is a hoax.
00:49:38I want to get to the bottom of it.
00:49:40Bring in that student.
00:49:42Let's find out who created this whole mess to begin with.
00:49:44You know, you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself.
00:49:47Framing an innocent man with a fake video.
00:49:51If you'll all excuse me, I have a campaign to run.
00:50:04Roar against authority.
00:50:07Roar against entitlement.
00:50:12Roar against those who think they're better than us.
00:50:19Roar for the little guy.
00:50:40Roar against the people in power.
00:50:55Roar against the teachers' pets.
00:51:12I know. Jimmy's out of control. We're not speaking.
00:51:16I'm sorry, Dad. I'm going to try to find a student to help cover some shifts.
00:51:26Roar!
00:51:27I gotta go.
00:51:28Roar!
00:51:43Let's roar!
00:51:44Roar!
00:51:46Roar!
00:51:47Roar!
00:51:48Roar!
00:52:00Roar!
00:52:01Haters gonna hate. How you been, little lady? Trying to call you a couple times.
00:52:09Listen, Jimmy, I know that you really want to win this election, but don't forget these kids are just 16
00:52:15years old.
00:52:16You're not asking me to back off my opponents, are you? WWMD, what would Machiavelli do?
00:52:24If it makes any difference, I wouldn't have returned Machiavelli's calls either.
00:52:36Roar against coddled whiners! Roar against the speech police! Roar against proper pronouns!
00:52:55You know, we all kind of tolerated you around here for the past few years, but you might want to
00:53:01transfer before it gets bad for you.
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:25All your life, you've been told to follow orders.
00:53:31Roar!
00:53:31Respect your parents.
00:53:33Listen to your teachers.
00:53:34Obey school administrators.
00:53:37Roar!
00:53:38And even though you've done everything they've asked, even though you've followed every rule they've set, your lives have only
00:53:44gotten worse.
00:53:46You're twisted into pretzels trying to make everyone else happy, and they're more than happy to sit and let you
00:53:52twist.
00:53:53This year, we're changing it up.
00:53:57This year, we're rewriting the rules.
00:54:01This year, we're not going to vote for the same hold us back candidates who are all part of the
00:54:07same hold us back friends.
00:54:10This year, we're pushing back.
00:54:12This year, we're standing up.
00:54:14This year, we're telling these oppressors, not.
00:54:17Any.
00:54:18More.
00:54:19Everybody.
00:54:19Not.
00:54:20Any.
00:54:21More.
00:54:22Next Tuesday, when you cast that ballot, you are not casting with your pen.
00:54:26You are not casting with your voice.
00:54:29You are casting with a full body.
00:54:32Roar!
00:54:45Oh, God!
00:54:47Oh my God!
00:54:49God!
00:54:59Oh, God!
00:55:00Oh, God!
00:55:02Oh, God!
00:55:03Oh, God!
00:55:12Grow a thicker skin
00:55:42Oh look, it's a bear
00:55:49Roar!
00:56:06Grow it for Jimmy Bowers!
00:56:12Sigh
00:56:17Losers hating every hour. Winners voting Jimmy Bauer.
00:56:31Each of the students who perpetuated this act has confessed and will be suspended.
00:56:36Michael Warner, who lit the torch, has been expelled.
00:56:38What about him?
00:56:43We are currently discussing disciplinary action, but no formal decision has been made.
00:56:51We want to extend our deepest apologies as a school and I just want you to know I extend my
00:56:58personal apologies as well for everything that transpired.
00:57:03I couldn't be more embarrassed.
00:57:08You think it's easy figuring out the right way to raise a kid like this?
00:57:12Don't I got enough to deal with already?
00:57:15Noah's an extraordinary student, sir. You've done a great job.
00:57:23Glad somebody thinks so.
00:57:33I was voted into this office.
00:57:37Like Obama.
00:57:39I know, Donna.
00:57:40I answered to the people.
00:57:42We had an understanding.
00:57:44He was supposed to be expelled.
00:57:48I tolerated the tan suit.
00:57:50I ignored the lunchroom molestation.
00:57:52I even let that man-child lead a fascist march down the hallway like a Chuck E. Cheese Mussolini.
00:57:59I prayed that despite all the obvious evidence, to the contrary, that you had a handle on your brother's misguided
00:58:09campaign.
00:58:10But it has become quite obvious to myself and to the entire Richardson School Board that you don't.
00:58:19Sean, I hereby place you on administrative leave.
00:58:24I expect your desk to be cleared by end of day.
00:58:31Give me the badge. Give me the badge.
00:58:35Give me the badge.
00:58:44It's not your fault.
00:58:47Leave me alone.
00:58:49It's my fault.
00:58:51It's Micah's fault.
00:58:52But it is definitely not your fault.
00:58:54I just want to make sure you know that.
00:58:59You know, I always knew the world was full of jerks.
00:59:02That is nothing new.
00:59:04But I also believed it was full of good people.
00:59:08And I always thought I could tell the difference.
00:59:13The thing about Micah is he may be a jerk, but at least he never pretended to be anything else.
00:59:17Not like you.
00:59:18You did.
00:59:19You pretended to care.
00:59:21You pretended to care about the students.
00:59:24About the school.
00:59:25About me.
00:59:26When all you ever cared about was yourself.
00:59:31Before you, student council gave me hope.
00:59:35Before you.
00:59:37I honestly believed that the good guys could actually win.
00:59:44But you took all of that from me.
00:59:53Give us a roar, Jimmy.
00:59:54Ready?
00:59:57Rawr!
00:59:58Rawr!!
01:00:09I
01:00:10see your face down on the border light. Silhouette
01:00:14is moving with the boat. Wish that
01:00:17I could live a different life. And see
01:00:19with my own eyes. I can't
01:00:22keep track of my apologies.
01:00:24I'm finding too many roads close
01:00:27And now you don't believe me
01:00:28I tried to be
01:00:30Hey man
01:00:31You're never gonna believe what we just got in today
01:00:36Boom
01:00:39Nobody wants that tired ass shit
01:00:45I gotta quit this frickin' job
01:00:52That's power for ya
01:00:54It's a powerful drug
01:00:55That's not a joke, George
01:00:57You literally just repeated the same word twice
01:01:00Do you two need a timeout?
01:01:04You can fool some of the people all the time
01:01:07And all the people some of the time
01:01:09But you can never fool yourself
01:01:10Finally, we agree
01:01:13Honesty, that's something we always had in common, Abe
01:01:15So I guess the only question now
01:01:19Is him
01:01:39You're standing in the dark
01:01:41Light bulbs went out
01:01:43Nobody here to change them
01:01:46I'll do it
01:01:47Do it now
01:01:47Your sister got fired
01:01:52What?
01:01:53Nine years at that school
01:01:55Down the drain
01:02:01And now I'm
01:02:02Trying to decide
01:02:03What I'm supposed to do
01:02:08Yeah, I got it
01:02:13What a man
01:02:14Thinks of himself
01:02:15That is which
01:02:17Determines his fate
01:02:20Do you believe that?
01:02:24I don't know
01:02:27Listen
01:02:29You have an extraordinary gift
01:02:32I mean it, son
01:02:33You have the great gift of empathy
01:02:36Don't ever lose that
01:02:40But you spent the last 25 years
01:02:42Withering away on that stool
01:02:44Packaging up boxes
01:02:45In an increasingly unprofitable souvenir shop
01:02:50In the middle of northeast Texas
01:02:53You needed the help
01:02:55Each of our lives is priceless, Jimmy
01:02:58And we have a sacred responsibility
01:03:04To ourselves
01:03:06We can't just throw away our futures
01:03:09I can't just leave you all alone
01:03:12I'm your son
01:03:13That's right
01:03:15And so for the very first time in my life
01:03:18I'm gonna be the parent
01:03:19That I always wanted to be
01:03:25Jimmy
01:03:28You're fired
01:03:42You gotta get out of here, son
01:03:45You gotta stop worrying about your old man
01:03:48You gotta stop worrying about ancient history
01:03:50And you gotta stop using this place
01:03:53As another excuse
01:03:55As to why
01:03:57Your life is not where you know
01:04:00You're supposed to be
01:04:27History has known a lot of leaders
01:04:30Some were pretty awesome
01:04:32And some
01:04:34Really sucked
01:04:36And every leader has some version of both of these guys
01:04:39Inside of us at all times
01:04:44And so it's up to us
01:04:46Every day
01:04:47To choose which path we take
01:04:49Because it is a choice
01:04:50And even though the bad choice might be easier
01:04:54We all know deep in our hearts when it's wrong
01:05:01In this election I have failed
01:05:02Turned my back on my good impulses
01:05:05And I leaned into my bad ones
01:05:09But it's never too late for any of us
01:05:11To examine our choices and reverse course
01:05:15Faiza Al-Ghamdi didn't serve beer at a keg party
01:05:18Faiza wasn't even there
01:05:19She's a good student who has served her constituents well
01:05:23And it's very deserving of every one of her supporters
01:05:26Medidagi Talmo Jussi is also deserving of his supporters
01:05:29Because despite a very questionable campaign slogan
01:05:32And some decidedly odd-fashioned choices
01:05:35He's a good guy
01:05:36But if I had to vote for one person in tomorrow's election
01:05:39I wouldn't vote for either of those two candidates
01:05:42And I wouldn't vote for me either
01:05:46I'd write in someone who isn't even officially running
01:05:51Noah Polly
01:05:52They're honorable
01:05:54Passionate
01:05:55And dedicated
01:05:58They look out for everybody at RHS
01:06:00Even those of us who don't immediately fit in
01:06:05They're not doing it
01:06:06For Ivy League scholarships
01:06:08Or TikTok followers
01:06:10Or a fancy internship at the governor's office
01:06:14Noah fights every day
01:06:15For one reason and one reason only
01:06:18Because they want to make your school a better place
01:06:25They have integrity
01:06:30And that's the stuff that real leaders are made of
01:06:42Good luck to all of our candidates
01:06:44And remember
01:06:45Voting is one of the great privileges of a democratic society
01:06:48Make yours count
01:06:57We're going to take your pick
01:06:58We're going to run it
01:06:59We're going to take your pick
01:07:01We're going to run it
01:07:02We're going to take your pick
01:07:03We're going to run it
01:07:04When we in the field
01:07:05We're going to run up the schools
01:07:06Yeah, I got a little bit
01:07:07Gotta give me some more
01:07:08They know that I can
01:07:10But they say that I won't
01:07:11Man, for a couple bills
01:07:12We could put on a show
01:07:13And in my head I'm checking
01:07:14Maybe they will
01:07:15Or maybe they won't
01:07:15I'm checking the bill
01:07:16They looking for both
01:07:17I'm all about promotion
01:07:22They have integrity
01:07:24And that's the stuff that real leaders are made of
01:07:32Oh god
01:07:36I'm
01:07:39Coward
01:07:42Now you're assaulting people
01:07:46I was helping you
01:07:49I can fight my own battles
01:07:50I know you can
01:07:53I'm just not sure you will
01:07:56What is that supposed to mean
01:07:57Jimmy's TikTok was right, Noah
01:07:59We all have hard choices to make
01:08:01But just because they're hard
01:08:02Doesn't mean we can't make them
01:08:03All you did just now
01:08:05Was throw a high schooler
01:08:06Into the wall
01:08:06That doesn't count as systemic change
01:08:08And besides
01:08:09When it comes to having the courage
01:08:11To make tough decisions
01:08:12You don't have a lot of room to talk
01:08:14Look
01:08:16I know what I said was hurtful
01:08:18And I'm sorry, okay
01:08:21But like
01:08:23I don't know who's going to see that picture
01:08:25Am I going to have a two-hour conversation
01:08:27With my dad
01:08:28A conversation which we both know
01:08:29Isn't going to end well
01:08:30Maybe not
01:08:32But what is the alternative
01:08:34Right
01:08:35What are we supposed to do
01:08:37Just
01:08:39Refuse to be honest
01:08:40About who we are
01:08:42Roll over
01:08:43And let the trolls win
01:09:03As the duly appointed
01:09:05Student council elections chair
01:09:06I believe I'm required
01:09:07To double check the vote count
01:09:15Oh, it's friends like you
01:09:17That really help keep this place
01:09:19Well funded
01:09:20Oh, thank you
01:09:21Hey, you know
01:09:21That next check you write
01:09:22Can it be one of those
01:09:24Really big ones
01:09:25You know
01:09:26And hold up
01:09:27And show the people
01:09:28Can we talk
01:09:37You got three minutes
01:09:42My sister made a mistake
01:09:44In
01:09:45Vouching for me
01:09:46You don't say
01:09:48I didn't deserve it
01:09:49Shock beyond measure
01:09:52Believing in my potential
01:09:54And fighting for it
01:09:55Even
01:09:56Even when I no longer
01:09:58Believed in it myself
01:10:03But isn't that what
01:10:04Being an educator is all about
01:10:07Fighting to give
01:10:08The least likely students
01:10:09A chance
01:10:10To be successful
01:10:11Not just looking out
01:10:12For the obvious winners
01:10:13But fighting for the potential
01:10:15In everybody
01:10:16I don't know
01:10:17How many other candidates
01:10:18You've got
01:10:19Waiting in the wings
01:10:20That have proven
01:10:21Just as willing
01:10:21To fight these battles
01:10:22As my sister
01:10:23But I'd be willing
01:10:24To wager
01:10:26Everything
01:10:26That you don't have
01:10:27A single one
01:10:29You'd be willing
01:10:30To wager everything
01:10:34And now for the results
01:10:36Of yesterday's election
01:10:37But before I read them
01:10:39I want to make a special mention
01:10:41Of someone who received
01:10:42More write-in votes
01:10:44Than any other previous student
01:10:46In Richardson high school history
01:10:48Noah Pauley
01:10:49Who received
01:10:50A whopping
01:10:5172 write-in votes
01:10:53For senior class president
01:10:55Congratulations
01:10:56Congratulations Noah
01:10:56And now unto the winners
01:11:00Jimmy
01:11:01Wait no
01:11:01You can't look at that
01:11:03Stop the announcement
01:11:08What is taking so long?
01:11:12Sorry for the delay there
01:11:14But without further ado
01:11:16Richardson high school's
01:11:19New senior class president
01:11:21Is
01:11:23Medidaki Tomajesi
01:11:25Wait
01:11:27What?
01:11:28Wait what?
01:11:36Why
01:11:37Did you do that?
01:11:44I'm going to help
01:11:56Don't worry
01:11:57You can always run again
01:11:58In what?
01:11:5925 years?
01:12:11The world is still full
01:12:13Of good people Noah
01:12:15And you're one of the very best
01:12:16I've ever met
01:12:41Hey
01:12:45You don't have to win an election
01:12:47To be a leader
01:12:57You must be the new principal
01:13:03You didn't have to drop out of school again Jimmy
01:13:06Yeah I did
01:13:07Superintendent said so explicitly
01:13:13You're a real piece of shit
01:13:14You know that?
01:13:17Yeah well
01:13:19Like all pieces of hereditary shit
01:13:21There ain't
01:13:22Nothing anybody can do about it
01:13:25Alright
01:13:26I'm off to go re-enroll
01:13:27At J.J. Pierce High School
01:13:31Don't look so surprised
01:13:32People do it all the time
01:13:33A few months ago
01:13:34I heard that some old football player
01:13:35Re-enrolled
01:13:56And second
01:13:56I'd like to ask for a round of applause
01:13:58For Faiza Al-Ghamdi
01:14:02I simply could not have done this job without you
01:14:05And congrats on getting into Yale
01:14:07You deserved it
01:14:13And lastly
01:14:14This is gonna sound a little cocky
01:14:16But I'd like to thank me
01:14:18Because over this past year
01:14:20I've learned so much
01:14:22But mostly just
01:14:23The things I was capable of
01:14:27Good job old buddy
01:14:29You're not just a stupid idiot after all
01:14:34As it turns out
01:14:35You simply cannot
01:14:37Beat
01:14:38The meat
01:14:52One stall
01:14:53No urinal
01:14:55Gender neutral
01:14:56I think the kids call it these days
01:14:59Nice job
01:15:26Go
01:15:28How's summer school?
01:15:30Almost over
01:15:31I'm so proud of you son
01:15:38I'm proud of you too pop
01:15:42Mr. B
01:15:42Come on
01:15:43Let's do this
01:15:45A one
01:15:46A two
01:15:47A one
01:15:48Two
01:15:48Three
01:15:49Hit it
01:15:49A one
01:15:50A one
01:15:52Two
01:15:54A one
01:15:57A two
01:16:10A one
01:16:12A two
01:16:20Good afternoon, everybody.
01:16:22Thanks so much for being here.
01:16:25I'd like to start with a huge thanks to Stan Bauer
01:16:28and everyone at Stan's memorabilia for hosting us.
01:16:33And now, without further ado,
01:16:36I am so thrilled to unveil the launch
01:16:39of our brand-new TikTok ad campaign.
01:16:47When most people imagine a politician,
01:16:49they picture something like this.
01:16:54But if you're like me,
01:16:56then maybe that image might make you feel
01:16:57just a little bit left out.
01:17:01Because in this changing moment in time,
01:17:03it's important that we have a leader
01:17:04who not only supports our changing city,
01:17:07but is a reflection of that change
01:17:09to show that no matter how different we are
01:17:12or how other we may feel,
01:17:14we all deserve an equal chance to grow
01:17:17from caterpillar into butterfly.
01:17:21I'm Noah Polly,
01:17:23and I'm asking for your vote
01:17:24for Dallas City Council.
01:17:30Let's give it up to my campaign manager,
01:17:32Jimmy Bauer, by the way.
01:17:33Old dude can make a TikTok and be right.
01:17:37As we embark on this momentous campaign,
01:17:40stay bold, stay fearless,
01:17:43and keep fighting.
01:17:45Because it's not how we start our journey that matters.
01:17:49It's how we finish it.
01:17:53You're here.
01:18:08Dance memorabilia.
01:18:10Hey, Jimmy.
01:18:12It's for you.
01:18:14Hey, I gotta go.
01:18:16I'm headed to a wellness retreat for the weekend.
01:18:18My first inner intimacy workshop starts in an hour.
01:18:20If I'm late, I'll miss ecstatic dance.
01:18:28This is Jimmy.
01:18:29Jimmy!
01:18:30Manish Singh.
01:18:35From high school.
01:18:36Yeah, no, I remember.
01:18:38Hey, we were just trying to get in touch with Noah Polly.
01:18:41My office has been calling and texting
01:18:43the number we got from the school,
01:18:44but we haven't been able to connect.
01:18:46Hey, Noah,
01:18:47have you been getting any missed calls or texts from...
01:18:50It'll come up as blocked.
01:18:52Official state biz and all.
01:18:53A blocked number?
01:18:58Holy shit.
01:19:00Governor Singh just endorsed our campaign.
01:19:08Wow.
01:19:10Governor Singh, thank you.
01:19:11Your candidates got a real future, Jimmy.
01:19:14Now they just need to work on their exit.
01:19:28Hey, son.
01:19:29You know, I was thinking,
01:19:31with all this new merchandise,
