1
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:05,380
Take that, Crystal.

2
00:00:06,632 --> 00:00:09,968
- Now what did you do to get sent here?
- I called my teacher a bad word.

3
00:00:10,052 --> 00:00:11,887
Okay, and what word was that?

4
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,180
I can't say it again.

5
00:00:13,263 --> 00:00:15,098
- Well, what did it start with?
- An N.

6
00:00:15,182 --> 00:00:16,433
Charlie.

7
00:00:16,517 --> 00:00:19,520
I didn't know it was bad.
All the other kids called me that.

8
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:23,273
That's 'cause they thought you were cool,
but that ends now. Calling your parents.

9
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:24,566
They say it too.

10
00:00:24,650 --> 00:00:25,692
They what?

11
00:00:25,776 --> 00:00:28,987
Oh, so you just got a whole family
full of Morgan Wallens, huh?

12
00:00:29,071 --> 00:00:31,240
Dia, get Charlie's parents on the phone.

13
00:00:31,323 --> 00:00:32,199
What is going on?

14
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:35,911
Girl, Charlie up in here going full
Tarantino. I'm gonna have to expel him.

15
00:00:35,994 --> 00:00:40,123
Oh, Ava, no. Mr. Small sent Charlie
in here because he called him a nerd.

16
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:43,377
Attention teachers,

17
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:47,381
do not send anyone to my office
unless they actually say a bad word.

18
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,633
I was about to
have Al Sharpton up in here.

19
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:51,176
Who's Al Sharpton?

20
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:52,886
Go back to class and learn something.

21
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:53,971
My God.

22
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:10,946
And don't turn the air conditioning
below 70 or the heat above 71.

23
00:01:11,947 --> 00:01:13,699
Mr. Johnson
won't break eye contact with me

24
00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:16,243
until I say
that the HVAC system is fragile.

25
00:01:16,326 --> 00:01:19,997
That's right. I reached out to the
district to send someone. They have not.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,457
Listen to me, y'all.
It's bad. I'm serious.

27
00:01:22,541 --> 00:01:27,212
I know everyone thinks of me as
Mr. Funny Bones, but this ain't no joke.

28
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:28,797
What else is going on
in this school?

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,675
Now, where are those sassy Bitmojis?

30
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,344
I find those are the ones
that are the most disrespectful.

31
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:35,554
What are you doing?

32
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:38,724
I've got to say happy birthday
to Sister Sloss on the choir group chat,

33
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:40,726
- even though I loathe her.
- Here's what you do.

34
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:43,312
You wait until you see
a couple of people said happy birthday,

35
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:45,105
- and she already said thank you...
- Yeah?

36
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:48,817
...then you send your happy birthday.
She has to say thank you again

37
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:49,901
That's great.

38
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:51,528
Hey. What I miss?

39
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:53,363
- Did you make it to the mechanic in time?
- Yeah.

40
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,448
Yeah? Okay.

41
00:01:55,532 --> 00:01:58,785
My car was making a weird noise,
so I dropped it off.

42
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:01,079
Oh, oh. Make the noise
and maybe we could diagnose it.

43
00:02:01,163 --> 00:02:04,207
- Yeah.
- Ah. Yeah, it was a...

44
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:06,918
- Yeah, I don't know anything about cars.
- Yeah, me neither.

45
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:11,089
Gregory, stop making broken
brake caliper noises and pay attention.

46
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:13,717
Although, it does sound like
your bushings are about to go.

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,177
Now, as discussed,

48
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:18,388
Abbott will be participating
in the district's new PHONES initiative,

49
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:21,266
and here to tell us more
about that is this lady.

50
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,727
It's Emily. You know me.

51
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:25,812
Okay, if you say so.

52
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:28,982
Since phone usage
has been so high in schools,

53
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:30,901
the district came up with
a counter initiative.

54
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:35,405
"Phones Harm One's
Natural Environment in Schools." PHONES.

55
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:38,408
It's one day where the students
are rewarded for staying off their phones,

56
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:39,493
and today is that day.

57
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:41,912
Everyone will put their phones
in these boxes,

58
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,748
and if opened,
an alert will be sent to the district,

59
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:46,541
and Abbott will be disqualified.

60
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:49,795
Every school that makes it
the entire day will get a pizza party.

61
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:54,091
- Other schools are participating?
- Yep.

62
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:56,927
Uh, Bates Academy,
McDowell, Liberty Rings...

63
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,178
Crystal Riley's school?

64
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,598
All right, kids, hurry up, put your phones
in the box. We need to win this.

65
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:05,060
We don't want to do this challenge.

66
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:07,145
- You are on your phones all day.
- You'll be fine.

67
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:09,189
- Who do you need to talk to?
- This is good for you.

68
00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:10,273
You don't need that phone.

69
00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:11,900
And I'll take the staff phones too.

70
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:13,568
What now?

71
00:03:13,652 --> 00:03:17,197
No phones day is for staff
and faculty too, not just kids.

72
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,616
There's no iPhones in team.

73
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:22,369
I just got a free hour on <i>Toon Blast</i>.

74
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:26,873
Now, guys, it's okay.
We should lead by example.

75
00:03:26,957 --> 00:03:30,544
Well, it's just one day. It'll be fine.

76
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,338
Well, we'll be fine.
I don't know about you youngsters.

77
00:03:33,422 --> 00:03:37,092
Oh, please. We will be just fine.
It's y'all I'm worried about.

78
00:03:37,175 --> 00:03:39,928
Well, that's a waste
of a free hour game, I can tell you that.

79
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:41,263
Uh, smartwatches too.

80
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:44,474
Well, I guess I'll just check
my metabolic capacity by hand then today.

81
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:46,643
Just tracking my health.

82
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:52,899
Ava, it's just one day.

83
00:03:56,194 --> 00:03:58,321
Fine, I can do it.

84
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:02,242
I absolutely cannot do it. These people
are crazy. I'm getting my burner phone.

85
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:08,081
See, everyone? Isn't reading much better
when you don't have a bunch of phones

86
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:10,208
beeping and buzzing all the time?

87
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:11,793
May I go to the bathroom?

88
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:13,170
Yes, you may. Come on up.

89
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:17,090
Okay, now what is the date?

90
00:04:17,174 --> 00:04:19,384
- The 5th.
- The 5th, right.

91
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:22,137
Oh, wait, the 5th.

92
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:23,472
I pay rent on the 5th.

93
00:04:23,555 --> 00:04:25,015
Isn't rent due on the 1st?

94
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,267
You sound like my landlord.

95
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:31,354
I usually pay rent on my phone.

96
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:33,106
All right, um...

97
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:37,277
Everyone, keep on reading, okay.
I will be right back.

98
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,695
Here you go.

99
00:04:40,155 --> 00:04:41,156
- Hey.
- Hey.

100
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,533
Do you pay your rent
through the Rental Venue portal app?

101
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:45,994
If so, can I use your phone? I need
to pay rent before 4:00 p.m.,

102
00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:47,162
or I get a bunch of late fees.

103
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,164
You're forgetting
I also don't have my phone.

104
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:50,081
Oh, shoot.

105
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:52,542
Which is a problem for me, the
mechanic said he would text me updates.

106
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:53,668
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.

107
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:55,253
I need my car
for my food driver shift tonight.

108
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,797
- Right.
- So...

109
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,466
Man. How did people
pay rent before phones?

110
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:03,261
Well, I think they wrote
a check to their landlord.

111
00:05:03,345 --> 00:05:05,639
- Right. Yeah, checks.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

112
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:09,559
- And those come in a checkbook. Right.
- Checkbook. Yeah.

113
00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:13,188
- I totally know where mine is. Yeah.
- Me too. Yeah.

114
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:21,029
- What is that?
- A burner phone.

115
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:23,573
Ava. No one is allowed
to have their phone.

116
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,033
What do you think you're doing?

117
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:27,786
Cheating. I wanna beat Crystal,
but I need a phone.

118
00:05:27,869 --> 00:05:29,454
And if you say anything,
you will be fired.

119
00:05:31,706 --> 00:05:33,166
Make all the notes you want, Dia.

120
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:35,502
You'll be making them
at the unemployment office soon.

121
00:05:37,963 --> 00:05:42,008
I am so proud of you guys.
Giving up your phones is a big deal.

122
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:45,887
But I think we're all gonna like
being disconnected for a bit.

123
00:05:45,971 --> 00:05:48,056
But you're on your computer right now.

124
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:52,644
So I am. May as well check for updates.

125
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:55,730
Today's news
is tomorrow's history, as they say.

126
00:05:55,814 --> 00:05:58,608
The Supreme Court
handed down its decision

127
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:01,945
in the Idaho Department of Water Resources
versus the US Bureau of Reclamation.

128
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:03,738
Okay. Okay.

129
00:06:03,822 --> 00:06:06,741
Legacy media is too slow
for big moments like this.

130
00:06:06,825 --> 00:06:08,410
I need live reactions.

131
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:13,415
Oh, uh, no phone. Okay. Yeah.

132
00:06:13,498 --> 00:06:15,333
Uh, we don't know how people are reacting.

133
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:19,588
They don't know how... how I'm reacting,
um, and that's fine. It's fine.

134
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:21,965
Hey, why don't you
just log into Twitter on your computer?

135
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,843
First of all,
I don't use that platform anymore.

136
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:27,387
And second,
you would love that, wouldn't you?

137
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:31,266
I forgot to log out of my computer
one time, and the kids got a hold of it.

138
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,769
For the record, and despite
what my second most viral tweet says,

139
00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:38,690
I do not love to eat my boogers.
In fact, I hate it.

140
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:40,525
Hey, Barb, did I ever...

141
00:06:40,609 --> 00:06:41,610
Sorry.

142
00:06:41,693 --> 00:06:44,195
Did I ever mention the password
to my fantasy team to you?

143
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,282
Not now, Melissa.
I can't log into my lesson plan.

144
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:50,368
Oh, you think that's bad? I'm down
six points on my fantasy football,

145
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:53,038
and I just heard Mahomes
is out with a "sore foot."

146
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:55,957
Plus I'm waiting on some dumb medical
results to come into my health portal.

147
00:06:56,041 --> 00:06:57,167
Medical results?

148
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:58,960
It's nothing.
I got a sharp pain in my side.

149
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:02,130
- It's there a few weeks, won't go away.
- Melissa, this sounds serious.

150
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:05,675
No, what's serious is me getting
Mahomes on the bench before kickoff, Barb.

151
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,053
Well, I can't text my choir group chat,

152
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:11,181
and if I'm the last person
to wish Sister Sloss a happy birthday,

153
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,891
she will never let it go.

154
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:16,102
- She nasty that way.
- Ow

155
00:07:17,687 --> 00:07:19,314
I gotta have one somewhere.

156
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,860
Ava, some of us are working.

157
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:27,238
And some of us are trying to find
a charger for this near-extinct phone.

158
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:30,033
Wait, your phone's probably ancient.
Let me borrow your charger.

159
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,410
Ain't nobody got that old charger anymore.

160
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:34,579
You can survive one day
without your damn phone.

161
00:07:34,663 --> 00:07:36,706
"You can survive one day
without your damn phone."

162
00:07:46,216 --> 00:07:50,428
I'm doing great so far. I have reminders
set for everything on my to-do list,

163
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:53,765
but since I don't have my phone,
I have nothing to do.

164
00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:58,144
But I have a rich imagination though,
so I never get bored.

165
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:02,148
- Hey. Did you sort your rent out?
- Hey. No.

166
00:08:02,232 --> 00:08:04,776
I can't find my checkbook,
so I'm gonna have to go down to the bank.

167
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:06,861
- Did you get in touch with your mechanic?
- No.

168
00:08:06,945 --> 00:08:09,531
I checked the website and there
was a phone number in blue font,

169
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:11,991
and a photo of the mechanic's dad,
who's been dead.

170
00:08:12,075 --> 00:08:13,868
So I'm gonna call when I get a break.

171
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:15,328
With what?

172
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:17,247
A landline.

173
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,958
You know what? This is bad.

174
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:22,919
I kind of think we should
forfeit the challenge. Is that insane?

175
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,963
- No, it's not. Yeah.
- Right?

176
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:27,799
You're struggling, I'm struggling.
You know the kids are struggling.

177
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:30,927
- I bet they just want to call it off.
- They're gonna be relieved. Watch.

178
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:34,222
Hey, kids.
This no phones thing is the pits, right?

179
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:36,141
No.

180
00:08:36,224 --> 00:08:37,934
I love not having a phone.

181
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:41,104
I already finished my homework
for today and tomorrow.

182
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,231
And I painted this picture.

183
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:44,816
- Oh, wow. Do you...
- Wow.

184
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:46,693
Hey, hey. Oh, Deonte, Dwayne,

185
00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:49,154
We said if you two
cannot get along, we don't sit by...

186
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:52,907
It's okay, Ms. Teagues. Without phones,
we realized we have a lot in common.

187
00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:54,200
We're friends now.

188
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:02,083
Yeah, I think to call out
from the landline in your classroom,

189
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:03,877
it's star, zero, and the phone number.

190
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,545
- Copy that. Yeah.
- Yeah.

191
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:12,802
- Salt and pepper.
- Got it.

192
00:09:19,642 --> 00:09:21,144
Psst. Hey.

193
00:09:22,437 --> 00:09:23,438
What's up?

194
00:09:23,521 --> 00:09:25,565
Are either of you signed
into Twitter on your computers?

195
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:26,483
- No.
- Mm-mmm.

196
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:29,027
Ha! That was a trick question,
as we should all be on Bluesky.

197
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:30,236
Are you logged into that?

198
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,363
Uh, no. Those sites
are banned on work computers

199
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:35,492
ever since we all found out
how much you love to eat boogers.

200
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:37,619
Hey, for the last time...

201
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:39,287
I need my phone, guys.

202
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:42,499
I admit this is a little bit more
inconvenient than we thought it'd be,

203
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:45,418
- but the kids are really happy.
- Yeah, try to focus on the kids.

204
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:47,212
The kids are doing great.
They're laughing.

205
00:09:47,295 --> 00:09:50,548
They're making up trends without a camera.
They're dancing like no one's watching.

206
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:53,468
- Bet they're totally fine.
- Oh, of course they are.

207
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:56,012
- They've lived centuries without devices.
- I know.

208
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:59,516
I will admit, I do miss my...
I love that picture of me.

209
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:00,433
- Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

210
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:03,937
I've been off balance
all day without my phone necklace.

211
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:07,232
Okay, I know it sucks, but we can't
let them see us sweat, all right?

212
00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:09,109
- This is supposed to be easy for us.
- Yeah.

213
00:10:09,192 --> 00:10:10,944
How you doing?

214
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:13,404
Play it cool. They think
we're gonna fail because we're young.

215
00:10:13,488 --> 00:10:14,906
How's it going down there?

216
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:17,992
Oh. So good. But we are
sending you strength.

217
00:10:18,076 --> 00:10:20,078
Aw, thank you for that.
We're gonna send it back.

218
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:21,454
We, um...

219
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:25,834
Ava, Ava. Um, it must be really hard
not to text O'Shon, huh?

220
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:27,252
How you holding up, chica?

221
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,087
I never text O'Shon, he texts me.

222
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:30,964
And this is the easiest thing
I've ever done.

223
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:35,176
- I gotta go to the bank.
- Yeah, I gotta call my mechanic.

224
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,555
The Supreme Court decision
in Idaho is heating up

225
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,182
and none of my followers
know where I stand.

226
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:44,144
What if people are changing their
profile pictures to potatoes to protest?

227
00:10:44,227 --> 00:10:46,229
- Is it really that big a deal?
- Yes.

228
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:50,483
I hope the other teachers
are handling this better than I am.

229
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,528
Hey, does anybody have
the ESPN Fantasy Sports app?

230
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:55,238
- I do.
- Yes!

231
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,699
But it's on my phone.

232
00:10:57,782 --> 00:11:00,994
Wow, you really can't handle
not having your phone, huh?

233
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,996
You'd be upset too
if you were down six points

234
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:06,374
to a team called "Aaron Rodger's
Really-Hot-Totally-Not-Fake Wife."

235
00:11:06,457 --> 00:11:08,751
Does anybody have

236
00:11:08,835 --> 00:11:10,962
the Jefferson Health patient portal?
Anybody got that?

237
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:13,715
Isn't that also on your phone?

238
00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:15,258
Okay, new assignment.

239
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:18,678
Everybody come up with five potential
reasons for a sharp pain in the side.

240
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,054
The more descriptive, the better.

241
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:22,390
And that's who runs the world now, kids.

242
00:11:22,473 --> 00:11:25,059
Mr. Johnson,
thank you so much for watching my class.

243
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:28,021
I'm sure my students
are now very enlightened.

244
00:11:28,104 --> 00:11:29,981
Someone has to teach at this school.

245
00:11:30,064 --> 00:11:31,649
Totally. Thanks.

246
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:34,068
Bye, kids. And remember what I said.

247
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:38,156
Guys, forget everything Mr. Johnson said.

248
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:42,702
Oh, and, um, go back to your worksheets,
and I'll be right back, okay?

249
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:46,372
- That was a quick trip. You pay your rent?
- Nope.

250
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:49,834
Turns out without my phone, I have no GPS
and no idea how to get to the bank.

251
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:53,588
Drove around in circles for a while,
then I asked a man for directions,

252
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:56,716
he tells me to go right at
the light and at the corner.

253
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,134
So I came back here.

254
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:00,470
Get in touch with your mechanic?

255
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,639
I've been on hold.

256
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,682
<i>What's up? It's Reggie's Auto Pros.</i>

257
00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:07,727
<i>It's super easy to get in touch
with me using the app I made.</i>

258
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:09,646
- Not everyone needs an app!
<i>- Search for Reggie's App</i>

259
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,272
- <i>wherever you get your apps...</i>
- It's fine.

260
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:13,107
I'll just call a cab
and go down there myself.

261
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:14,192
<i>Peace.</i>

262
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:17,278
God, it's like
I can still feel it in my pocket.

263
00:12:17,362 --> 00:12:18,363
I know.

264
00:12:20,865 --> 00:12:23,534
All right now, hold on, babies.

265
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:27,121
If Mrs. Howard
can just break into this computer...

266
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,416
...then we would know
the rest of our schedule.

267
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,044
- Mrs. Howard.
- Yes, baby.

268
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:36,673
Can you play the afternoon song
so we can sing?

269
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:40,176
That is a wonderful idea. Now I will just...

270
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,140
I don't have my phone.
You see, children, Spotify is on my phone,

271
00:12:46,224 --> 00:12:50,687
which is why we should have
never strayed from records and CDs.

272
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,313
Are you okay, Mrs. Howard?

273
00:12:52,397 --> 00:12:55,608
Yes, but I'm just a little frustrated.

274
00:12:55,692 --> 00:12:59,654
I have not been able
to wish my "friend" a happy birthday

275
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:02,073
because I don't have my phone.

276
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:05,285
- Oh, that's bad.
- Yes, it is.

277
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:10,248
Plus, any day now,
my grandbaby could arrive and...

278
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:11,958
Oh, wait a minute now.

279
00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:18,923
If Taylor gives birth today,
that would be on Sister Sloss's birthday.

280
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:21,217
Oh, no.

281
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,430
Or "Oh, yes."

282
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:29,642
Because then I could upstage Sister Sloss.

283
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,811
And every birthday from now on,

284
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:35,815
she would be reminded of me,
Barbara Howard.

285
00:13:38,109 --> 00:13:39,110
I need my phone.

286
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:44,157
ESPN just sent me a text alert.
I can hear it in there.

287
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,576
You're also waiting
for important medical information.

288
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:49,162
What? Oh, no, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

289
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:50,246
Oh.

290
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:52,874
Oh.

291
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:55,501
- What are you three doing in here?
- Uh, we came to read.

292
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:59,005
You came to
break into the boxes.

293
00:13:59,088 --> 00:14:00,214
- Yes.
- Yeah.

294
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:01,841
- Give me that.
- Yeah.

295
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:04,635
Okay. You gotta do it... You hear the click...

296
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:05,887
Oh, yeah.

297
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:07,305
The hell going on in here?

298
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,015
- Uh, nothing.
- Uh... Reconnecting with books.

299
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:10,141
Mm-hmm.

300
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:13,519
Yes. And it has been
so nice to spend time with books.

301
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:15,605
Yeah, without all the stupid distractions.

302
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,648
Like work. Yuck.

303
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:20,234
Good, 'cause
I've been enjoying this break.

304
00:14:20,318 --> 00:14:24,197
You know, I didn't think I would,
but really, it's recentered me.

305
00:14:25,073 --> 00:14:26,407
What?

306
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,285
Ava, what's that on your ankle?

307
00:14:29,368 --> 00:14:31,537
- My foot.
- No, no, no. Something lit up.

308
00:14:31,621 --> 00:14:32,789
Mm-hmm.

309
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,540
It's my ankle monitor.
I'm on house arrest.

310
00:14:34,624 --> 00:14:37,585
I know that animation anywhere.
You just closed a movement ring.

311
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:46,135
Ha! Forbidden fruit.
She's wearing a smartwatch.

312
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:49,138
Fine, I can't take this.

313
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:53,184
It's straight up torture.
I need my phone. Y'all better than me.

314
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:56,145
We are not better than you.

315
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:58,231
I need my phone too.

316
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:00,399
- I hate to admit it, this was a bad idea.
- Very bad.

317
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:03,194
Okay, why don't we just
take the I like champs?

318
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,988
We'll crack open these cases,
spend the rest of the day blasting toons.

319
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,824
- I like that.
- Yeah. Okay.

320
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:10,785
Dia, would you please
go down to the office, get the keys,

321
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:13,162
so that we can free our phones?

322
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,748
Now, before I walk
all the way down to admin...

323
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:16,833
It's 27 steps.

324
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:20,378
- Are you all sure you want to forfeit?
- Absolutely.

325
00:15:20,461 --> 00:15:22,338
- I would do anything.
- Yep. Ticktock, let's rock.

326
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:23,422
Mm-hmm.

327
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:26,717
- Dia.
- Where do you think you're going?

328
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:27,885
Uh...

329
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:30,805
Where do you think you're going?

330
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:33,099
First off, do not speak to Dia like that.

331
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:35,518
She is to be treated
with respect at most times.

332
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,770
Second, she's going to get
the key to unlock our phones.

333
00:15:37,854 --> 00:15:40,481
- What about the PHONES initiative?
- Okay, I got it.

334
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:43,568
Um, Courtney...
What's up, girlfriend?

335
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:47,238
Hey, so we tried, we really did.

336
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:50,116
But we have important
adult responsibilities

337
00:15:50,199 --> 00:15:53,661
that require us to have our phones,
like paying our rent late.

338
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:54,871
Or finding out what's wrong with my car.

339
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,081
Or learning
if my daughter's gone into labor.

340
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:59,584
Or if Mahomes
is still on the injured list.

341
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:03,421
- I don't care about your sad problems.
- Sad? Excuse me.

342
00:16:03,504 --> 00:16:07,216
You expect our school to give up
and lose out on a pizza party

343
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,094
because y'all aren't responsible
enough to handle your business.

344
00:16:10,178 --> 00:16:11,971
- All right, this is getting hurtful.
- What?

345
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:15,725
Hey, how about we just buy you
pizza, right? Then it's a win-win.

346
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,519
How can you buy pizza?
You can't even afford to pay rent.

347
00:16:18,603 --> 00:16:20,438
That is a good point.
That's a good point though.

348
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:21,898
She has a point.

349
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:25,151
Okay. Listen, little girl.
We're all gonna chip in, okay?

350
00:16:25,234 --> 00:16:26,152
Yes.

351
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:29,572
That way we get our phones,
and you get your beloved pizza. Deal?

352
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:32,742
Nope.
A deal insinuates there's more to get.

353
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:34,202
Oh, we gave her too much sauce
at that science fair.

354
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:35,494
- We really did.
- Yeah.

355
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:37,914
- Courtney, what do you want?
- A trip to Disney World.

356
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:40,333
- Oh, deal.
- No.

357
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,210
- You need to let that dream go.
- Mm-hmm.

358
00:16:42,293 --> 00:16:44,212
This is called negotiating.

359
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:46,172
Okay, we want a pizza day,

360
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:49,508
wings, soda,
and KPop Demon Hunters on repeat.

361
00:16:49,592 --> 00:16:52,386
No soda, but you can have the rest.

362
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:54,263
Deal.

363
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:56,432
- Now, Dia, go get them damn keys.
- Yes.

364
00:16:57,934 --> 00:17:00,561
You know, Courtney,
one day you're gonna be in high school

365
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:01,979
and this won't all be so cute.

366
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:03,856
But for now, adorable.

367
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:09,195
I gotta be honest with you, I had no idea

368
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,032
that it was gonna be this hard
to go one day without a phone.

369
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,326
And I don't know what that says about me.

370
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:18,204
Or, you know,
phone companies or society at large,

371
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:21,082
but I'm sure somewhere
in there there's a valuable lesson.

372
00:17:21,165 --> 00:17:22,875
- Come on.
- Let's go. Come on.

373
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:24,210
- Come on. Thank you.
- Dia, yes.

374
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:27,964
So much for the quiet zone.
I was just getting to the good part.

375
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,091
Is Andrea in that one?

376
00:17:30,174 --> 00:17:31,384
That's what I call my Android.

377
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:33,177
Oh. Yeah. Okay.

378
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:35,555
Four missed calls.

379
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:37,974
Okay, "Two broken brake calipers.
Best to change all four.

380
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:40,601
It will be pricier, like 300 per wheel.

381
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:43,187
Gonna replace all four,
better safe than sorry.

382
00:17:43,271 --> 00:17:46,232
Didn't hear from you,
so assume that's cool." $1,200!

383
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:47,775
Gosh.

384
00:17:47,858 --> 00:17:50,570
My rent is sent though.
So no late fees for me.

385
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:52,405
Suck it, credit score.

386
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:53,823
Oh, text from my landlord.

387
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,575
"Do not flush your toilet.

388
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:57,994
And if you need it fixed
before the weekend, text me by noon."

389
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,412
- What the hell?
- Huh?

390
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:00,538
- Yes!
- Good news?

391
00:18:00,621 --> 00:18:03,457
Yeah, I got Mahomes benched,
picked up Stroud,

392
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:05,710
and I got another free hour on <i>Toon Blast.</i>

393
00:18:05,793 --> 00:18:07,420
And your medical issue?

394
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:10,673
Oh, yeah, I gotta get my gallbladder
removed, but it's laparoscopic.

395
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:13,634
I only missed 76 DMs.
My phone dry as hell.

396
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,054
Yeah, I missed like a ton of texts,
so I feel you.

397
00:18:17,138 --> 00:18:19,682
I missed six, all from Crate & Barrel.

398
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,604
It's a big sale.
Yeah, it's good to be connected.

399
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:28,024
I can't believe today of all days,
I couldn't tap in.

400
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:31,027
The day that the court sided with the
Reclamation Bureau, you know?

401
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,528
I could have stopped this.

402
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:36,115
- How?
- Gregory, Gregory, Gregory.

403
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:38,034
Information is power.

404
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,620
There, changed my profile picture.

405
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:44,040
And I've got so many people
to update that I've made a group chat.

406
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:45,625
I'm calling it Best Spuds.

407
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:47,835
Just hope I'm not too late.

408
00:18:49,211 --> 00:18:51,422
What?

409
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:54,800
Just Us Justice tagged me
in a "your silence is deafening" post.

410
00:18:54,884 --> 00:18:58,304
And Zohran Mamdani liked it.
Oh, I'm gonna be violently sick.

411
00:18:58,387 --> 00:18:59,889
Oh, oh.

412
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:02,767
Gerald, sweetheart, are you okay?

413
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:07,021
Wait, what?
No, I haven't had my phone all day.

414
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:08,648
What's wrong?

415
00:19:08,731 --> 00:19:11,484
- Wait, really? Okay, all right.
- What?

416
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:15,696
I'm on my way. And you better
tell her don't push until I get there.

417
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:17,198
Oh

418
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:18,115
Yes.

419
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:22,203
Okay, Taylor's water broke.
She's on her way to the hospital.

420
00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:23,287
Yes!

421
00:19:23,371 --> 00:19:25,623
- Oh, I spoke this into existence.
- Okay.

422
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:26,874
Oh!

423
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,961
Happy birthday, Sister Sloss!

424
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:32,505
Exclamation point.

425
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:34,006
Excuse my lateness,

426
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:40,262
it seems you will be sharing
a birthday with my grandbaby.

427
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,016
That's how you do that.

428
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:48,145
So the bad news is you couldn't
make it a day without your phones.

429
00:19:48,729 --> 00:19:52,608
The other bad news
is no other school did either.

430
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:55,695
This initiative
was a huge swing and a miss by me.

431
00:19:55,778 --> 00:19:58,322
People need their phones
and the district is mad at me.

432
00:19:58,406 --> 00:20:01,450
Damn. Any good news, Eeyore?

433
00:20:02,076 --> 00:20:04,620
Well, yes. Uh, although you failed,

434
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:07,415
you did make it further
than any other school in the district.

435
00:20:07,498 --> 00:20:09,583
So we're gonna give you the pizza party.

436
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:11,877
Yeah.

437
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:14,839
Why didn't you lead with that?
I could've been gloating this whole time.

438
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:17,758
You see that, kids?
You still get to have a pizza party.

439
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:20,636
Uh-uh. You still have to
make good on our deal.

440
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,013
We don't want a pizza party.
We want a pizza day.

441
00:20:23,097 --> 00:20:26,892
No learning, just pizza
and movies and fun. We shook on it.

442
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:28,561
Can't argue with that.

443
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:29,854
Surely we can.

444
00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:32,314
Oh, right,
that's what I was supposed to do.

445
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,317
- What? Recycle?
- I never do that.

446
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,404
Says here
to talk to Emily from the district

447
00:20:38,487 --> 00:20:40,114
about the HVAC while she's still here.

448
00:20:42,116 --> 00:20:44,618
Well, damn.

449
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:47,163
Guess that kite has sailed.

450
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:19,737
- This is nice.
- Hmm?

451
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:22,198
- I said, "This is nice."
- Hmm.
