1. - Ooh, pretty.
- Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
2. One of my students gave me
this for some reason and —
Copy !req
3. Hey,
that's a nice sweater.
Copy !req
4. Oh.
Thank you, Myles.
Copy !req
5. Uh, wow.
A compliment,
Copy !req
6. and it wasn't a set up
for a punchline.
Copy !req
7. I know. I was waiting for,
"Nice sweater.
Copy !req
8. Didn't know Bert and Ernie
had a yard sale."
Copy !req
9. But the kids have actually
been really cool lately.
Copy !req
10. And, like,
excited to learn?
Copy !req
11. Yeah. No, same. No misbehaving.
The grades are up.
Copy !req
12. And I'm getting flowers, apparently.
Copy !req
13. - Like, are we awake?
- You know what?
Copy !req
14. I think we have finally earned
their enthusiasm and respect.
Copy !req
15. Well, enthusiasm
I hoped for, but respect?
Copy !req
16. One can only dream.
Copy !req
17. Hey, Vick, what's Gucci?
Copy !req
18. - Ayy!
- And great job on your quiz.
Copy !req
19. Somebody's been
putting in the work.
Copy !req
20. Anything for you,
Mr. C!
Copy !req
21. That was so cute.
Copy !req
22. Wait.
Who is Mr. C?
Copy !req
23. I don't know,
but I'm not gonna push it.
Copy !req
24. I don't want to ruin
what we have by, like,
Copy !req
25. asking a lot of questions,
right?
Copy !req
26. Oh, there you are, Jacob.
Copy !req
27. My auntie's dog
needs her sweater back.
Copy !req
28. Got 'eem.
Copy !req
29. Great job, guys!
Copy !req
30. All A's and B's!
Copy !req
31. We're all superstars
in this class.
Copy !req
32. Oh. All right, guys.
Copy !req
33. Quietly and safely.
Quietly and safely.
Copy !req
34. It's been a long year
with lots of ups and downs,
Copy !req
35. but it was all worth it
to get here.
Copy !req
36. Looks like someone finally has
this teaching thing figured out.
Copy !req
37. Okay.
Copy !req
38. Looks like someone forgot
where the floor was.
Copy !req
39. Let me get some paper
towel and clean that up.
Copy !req
40. Wait. What...
Copy !req
41. What the...?
Copy !req
42. Who did this?
Copy !req
43. And I told my neighbor,
I said,
Copy !req
44. "If you call 311
on a native tree,
Copy !req
45. they are gonna rip it out
Copy !req
46. without so much as
even consulting an arborist."
Copy !req
47. And the hilarious thing
about all this —
Copy !req
48. Nope.
Copy !req
49. The hilarious things is, the
number for 311 isn't even 311 —
Copy !req
50. Jacob, please. Stop.
Copy !req
51. I'm sorry.
It's not you.
Copy !req
52. Not me.
Copy !req
53. "Jacob, stop" could have meant,
like, any Jacob.
Copy !req
54. It's just, I had the whole,
um, principal job
Copy !req
55. as my only goal
for awhile,
Copy !req
56. and finding out that that's
not happening anytime soon
Copy !req
57. has got me
thinking about a lot.
Copy !req
58. No. I get it.
Copy !req
59. Yeah, not in the mood
for a story.
Copy !req
60. Got it.
Copy !req
61. Hey. You guys want to
hear something weird?
Copy !req
62. Janine,
read the room.
Copy !req
63. We are not
in the mood for that.
Copy !req
64. Okay, well,
then I won't tell you
Copy !req
65. I found shoe prints
on my desks.
Copy !req
66. Wait, no.
Copy !req
67. You found shoe prints
on your desks?
Copy !req
68. Yeah.
That's weird, right?
Copy !req
69. - Yeah.
- Wait, hold up.
Copy !req
70. I found some shoe prints
on my desks, too.
Copy !req
71. I paid it dust.
Copy !req
72. It's not the weirdest thing
I've found on my desks.
Copy !req
73. Yeah.
I found some, too.
Copy !req
74. I thought
I was going crazy.
Copy !req
75. Wait, so other people have
found shoe prints
Copy !req
76. - in their classrooms?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
77. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
78. Well, nothing's going on
in my classroom.
Copy !req
79. My desks are as clean
as a whistle.
Copy !req
80. So, wait, if this is
happening to everybody
Copy !req
81. except Barbara,
then what's going on?
Copy !req
82. - It's weird.
- I mean, no idea.
Copy !req
83. I know what's going on,
and it's bad.
Copy !req
84. In fact, I've been praying that
it wouldn't breach our walls.
Copy !req
85. - Ghosts.
- It's called desking.
Copy !req
86. It's a new online challenge
Copy !req
87. where kids jump from
desktop to desktop.
Copy !req
88. Heard about it last week
through the custodial network.
Copy !req
89. Mm.
Copy !req
90. These videos
are everywhere.
Copy !req
91. Mr. Ronson over at
West Adams Elementary
Copy !req
92. said he's been
cleaning desks for weeks.
Copy !req
93. - Ohh.
- Oh, geez.
Copy !req
94. Go! Go! Go!
You got this!
Copy !req
95. Oh, my God!
There's hundreds of these!
Copy !req
96. This is horrible!
Copy !req
97. This can't be what's happening
here, though, right?
Copy !req
98. I mean, our kids respect us
too much.
Copy !req
99. Someone could
really get hurt here.
Copy !req
100. I've already been hurt.
Copy !req
101. I know about every
Internet trend.
Copy !req
102. How did I not
find out about this?
Copy !req
103. We need to
get to the bottom of this.
Copy !req
104. You know what? I bet you
I can get a shoe print.
Copy !req
105. Did you clean
your desks off yet?
Copy !req
106. - No.
- Nasty.
Copy !req
107. Okay, does anybody
know shoes?
Copy !req
108. My boyfriend, Zach,
is a total sneaker-head.
Copy !req
109. He — He loves shoes
more than anything.
Copy !req
110. Well, except ya boy.
Copy !req
111. That's me. I'm "ya boy."
Copy !req
112. Okay. It doesn't look like
anything I can find online.
Copy !req
113. When's your
shoe guy get here?
Copy !req
114. Uh, he is
on his way.
Copy !req
115. So this Zach,
he lives with you?
Copy !req
116. Yeah. He just moved in
last month.
Copy !req
117. And that's going well?
Copy !req
118. Yep.
He's so great.
Copy !req
119. So he knew you
and was like... more?
Copy !req
120. Well, I think he sounds like
a really neat guy, right?
Copy !req
121. - Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- Sure. Yeah.
Copy !req
122. - Heyyy. There's my guy.
- Black?
Copy !req
123. It's actually pronounced "Zach."
You must be Ava.
Copy !req
124. You were
all thinking it.
Copy !req
125. I see you.
Don't look at me like that.
Copy !req
126. We always look at you
like this.
Copy !req
127. It's very nice to
meet you, Zach.
Copy !req
128. Well, if it isn't
my pizza crust queen.
Copy !req
129. We went out to eat last week
and I ate all his pizza crust.
Copy !req
130. I don't like to waste food.
Copy !req
131. Wait, is this
our desker?
Copy !req
132. Yes.
Copy !req
133. Huh.
Copy !req
134. Huh? What — What do you
mean by "huh"?
Copy !req
135. It looked smaller
in the pic.
Copy !req
136. This is way too big
to be a second grader.
Copy !req
137. - They laughing in our faces.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
138. If this was
a small adult sneaker,
Copy !req
139. it increases the make and model
options significantly.
Copy !req
140. He's so smart.
Copy !req
141. We came in 3rd at trivia night
last week over at Oscar's.
Copy !req
142. You know,
down by Rittenhouse.
Copy !req
143. We were eliminated
on a technicality,
Copy !req
144. but Sri Lanka,
if you didn't know —
Copy !req
145. Honey, where is
this story going?
Copy !req
146. Are we focusing on
the task at hand?
Copy !req
147. Mnh. No, we're not.
I'm so sorry. Please continue.
Copy !req
148. Did he just stop Jacob
from being... himself?
Copy !req
149. Can we put him in glass
and break in case of emergency?
Copy !req
150. All right,
let's get to work.
Copy !req
151. They say the first 48 hours
are the most important.
Copy !req
152. Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
Copy !req
153. Are those the black and grey
asymmetric midsoles?
Copy !req
154. I decided to be adventurous
and wear sneakers today.
Copy !req
155. Sick.
Copy !req
156. - All right.
- Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
157. - I like him.
- Mm.
Copy !req
158. Still don't know
how he lives with Jacob.
Copy !req
159. You think his neck gets tired
from all the nodding?
Copy !req
160. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
161. Just got an e-mail from Zach.
"You're welcome."
Copy !req
162. - Ooh.
- Oh.
Copy !req
163. Oh, we about to bust
this case wide open.
Copy !req
164. Uh... okay.
Copy !req
165. He says that while he initially
leaned Jordan 5s,
Copy !req
166. the faint line at
the mid-arch
Copy !req
167. indicates a swoosh
and not the Jumpman logo —
Copy !req
168. Okay.
Scroll. Scroll.
Copy !req
169. - Is there a picture?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
170. - Oh.
- Ooh.
Copy !req
171. Okay, well,
this is great.
Copy !req
172. All we have to do is
look at the kids' feet,
Copy !req
173. which is something I would say
we normally wouldn't do, but...
Copy !req
174. No. We don't.
Copy !req
175. 'Cause I've only seen those
on two kids —
Copy !req
176. Brianna and Stefon.
Copy !req
177. Yeah, but let's not rush out
and make accusations.
Copy !req
178. I'm coming for you!
Copy !req
179. Okay, let's split 'em up
and make 'em sing.
Copy !req
180. Two of you take Stefon,
the other two take Brianna.
Copy !req
181. Right.
Good cop, bad cop.
Copy !req
182. You know, it's interesting that
they say "good cop, bad cop,"
Copy !req
183. because policing in
this country is so broken,
Copy !req
184. it's really just
"bad cop, bad cop."
Copy !req
185. - Janine, you're with him.
- Got it.
Copy !req
186. Look, Stefon,
I get it.
Copy !req
187. I was a kid once.
Copy !req
188. But you and I both know
this is gonna end,
Copy !req
189. and when it does,
you don't wanna be the one
Copy !req
190. left holding the bag.
Copy !req
191. 'Cause that's exactly
what's gonna happen
Copy !req
192. when your friend over there
starts talking.
Copy !req
193. I bet she ratting you out
right now
Copy !req
194. like a little
Fredo Corleone.
Copy !req
195. So I would talk
if I were you.
Copy !req
196. 'Cause you don't want me
sending you over to
Copy !req
197. Ms. Teagues
and Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
198. I don't think you'd like
what's going on in that room.
Copy !req
199. Look, sometimes, sometimes,
the right thing is fun.
Copy !req
200. So why don't you tell us
who started this
Copy !req
201. and who's doing it?
Copy !req
202. You know,
doesn't that sound fun?
Copy !req
203. Okay, kid.
Copy !req
204. First one to talk,
first one to walk.
Copy !req
205. How'd those shoes
get on that desk?
Copy !req
206. - Name names!
- Yeah, name names.
Copy !req
207. TikTok, Twitch,
Discord?
Copy !req
208. Just tell me where
they setting them trends
Copy !req
209. - and you can leave.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
210. No. We got to
get a confession.
Copy !req
211. Squeal, and you can
Dipset like Cam'ron.
Copy !req
212. You know what?
One second.
Copy !req
213. Okay.
She's not talking.
Copy !req
214. Okay. Uh, let me
try something, okay?
Copy !req
215. Um...
Copy !req
216. You look
a little thirsty.
Copy !req
217. Oh,
look what I found.
Copy !req
218. A nice, cold,
refreshing juice.
Copy !req
219. I bet you'd like
some juice.
Copy !req
220. - I'm fine.
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
221. 'Cause me?
I'm thirsty.
Copy !req
222. I can't get it in.
Copy !req
223. You — You have
to twist it.
Copy !req
224. Yeah. No. I can —
I can do it myself.
Copy !req
225. Ah.
Copy !req
226. Oh.
Copy !req
227. I'm sorry, you tired?
Copy !req
228. Want some coffee?
Copy !req
229. 'Cause I can do this
all day, kid.
Copy !req
230. I got all the time
in the world.
Copy !req
231. No, we don't.
Copy !req
232. Tell me who started this
viral sensation,
Copy !req
233. or I swear to God...
Copy !req
234. - Boy, if you test me.
- Okay, Ava, let's go outside.
Copy !req
235. - Don't you play with me, boy.
- Now, Ava.
Copy !req
236. Can't believe
neither of them talked.
Copy !req
237. I'm actually
sort of proud.
Copy !req
238. All right, let 'em out.
Copy !req
239. All right, let's go.
Copy !req
240. We're gonna figure this out,
you guys.
Copy !req
241. Yeah.
Somebody's gonna slip up.
Copy !req
242. It's out of your control, oldhead.
Copy !req
243. Abbott's gonna be number one
in this challenge.
Copy !req
244. Wait. You're trying to be
number one in all of Philly?
Copy !req
245. - In all of the United States.
- Of America.
Copy !req
246. It's bigger than
you can imagine.
Copy !req
247. Bigger than me.
Bigger than you.
Copy !req
248. You'll never stop this.
Copy !req
249. - Okay. Get back to class.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
250. No problem.
Copy !req
251. That's where the desks are.
Copy !req
252. Okay, since none
of the kids are talking,
Copy !req
253. we gotta catch
one of them in the act.
Copy !req
254. Then we flip that kid,
follow it up to the top.
Copy !req
255. Who wants to go fishing?
Copy !req
256. Okay.
Copy !req
257. Well, nobody is jumping up
on my desks,
Copy !req
258. so this is feeling like
y'all's problem.
Copy !req
259. I could do a 21 Jump Street
kind of thing.
Copy !req
260. If I put on the right hat,
I could pull off 13.
Copy !req
261. I don't think so.
Copy !req
262. How about we get you
some platform shoes
Copy !req
263. - and you can pull off 12.
- Okay.
Copy !req
264. I can catch one of 'em.
Copy !req
265. Haven't done this kind of
fishing in a minute.
Copy !req
266. Let's go.
Copy !req
267. I didn't volunteer.
Copy !req
268. A stakeout needs two people.
Think, boy.
Copy !req
269. Who's gonna watch
all the crime stuff
Copy !req
270. while the other one
eats a hoagie?
Copy !req
271. I...
Copy !req
272. We're going about this
all wrong.
Copy !req
273. You know,
you don't build a dam
Copy !req
274. in the middle of
a rushing river.
Copy !req
275. You build it
before the water comes.
Copy !req
276. That is so wise.
Copy !req
277. What the hell are you
talking about?
Copy !req
278. If we talk to the younger kids
about the dangers of desking
Copy !req
279. and how it actually
isn't cool beans,
Copy !req
280. then we stop the desking
before the flood.
Copy !req
281. And I think
they'll listen to us,
Copy !req
282. because they don't look at us
as teachers and students.
Copy !req
283. We've built bonds this year
that are deeper than that.
Copy !req
284. - Oh, please.
- That's not gonna work.
Copy !req
285. - I think that's a great idea.
- Not in a million years. Okay,
Copy !req
286. we get a kid to rat, okay?
Uh-huh.
Copy !req
287. I FaceTimed
my own iPad from my phone
Copy !req
288. and left my phone
in Janine's room
Copy !req
289. - so we could survey the scene.
- Ah.
Copy !req
290. This ain't my first rodeo, hombre.
Copy !req
291. I've staken out before.
Copy !req
292. You stake out
other classrooms?
Copy !req
293. No, you creep.
Copy !req
294. I did private investigator
work back in the day.
Copy !req
295. You were a private investigator
before a custodian?
Copy !req
296. No, before I worked
at the rodeo.
Copy !req
297. Oh. Sorry.
Copy !req
298. I just — I thought that,
you know...
Copy !req
299. What, that I've been a custodian
my whole life?
Copy !req
300. No, man.
Copy !req
301. I worked
as a pipe fitter,
Copy !req
302. a minor league baseball
bunting coach,
Copy !req
303. a tastefully nude model,
sold RVs for summer.
Copy !req
304. Might find a new path
after this.
Copy !req
305. Wait, you never dreamed of
just doing one thing?
Copy !req
306. Sure, I have.
Copy !req
307. But a dream can be
a distraction
Copy !req
308. just as easy as
it can be a goal.
Copy !req
309. We got movement!
Copy !req
310. Show yourself, coward!
Copy !req
311. Aw, man, it's just
Janine and Jacob.
Copy !req
312. Let's go.
Copy !req
313. No one's gonna go desking
with teachers in the room.
Copy !req
314. All right!
Copy !req
315. Interesting.
Copy !req
316. So, we have gathered you here
today, dearly B-students...
Copy !req
317. Get it?
Copy !req
318. Okay. Keep going.
We knew it was 50/50.
Copy !req
319. Yeah. We are here today
to talk about desking.
Copy !req
320. What's desking?
Copy !req
321. Ah, good question.
Copy !req
322. Desking is getting from one side
of the classroom to the other
Copy !req
323. by hopping on
the tops of desks.
Copy !req
324. I never heard of it.
Copy !req
325. I wanna do it!
Copy !req
326. Is she
messing with you,
Copy !req
327. or are we just teaching
more kids what it is?
Copy !req
328. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
329. Look,
is desking cool beans?
Copy !req
330. Sure, it is. Right?
Copy !req
331. But me
and my dawg here...
Copy !req
332. are not here to
lie to you
Copy !req
333. and pretend that desking
isn't cool.
Copy !req
334. But guess what's
maybe even more cool?
Copy !req
335. Huh?
Copy !req
336. Okay!
Are you hearing this?
Copy !req
337. - Teamwork!
- Teamwork!
Copy !req
338. - It went great!
- It really did.
Copy !req
339. I mean, I'm surprised,
Copy !req
340. but also not surprised.
Copy !req
341. - The kids were so invested —
- Hello.
Copy !req
342. Hey, I'm sending you a video
that you need to watch.
Copy !req
343. Wait, wait. Why are you
FaceTiming me? I'm at work.
Copy !req
344. 'Cause I want to be
referenced in the story
Copy !req
345. when you tell it later.
Copy !req
346. - Love you, bye!
- Uh...
Copy !req
347. Oh, my God. Zach has been
so great during all of this.
Copy !req
348. I know. He can get
a little obsessive, but...
Copy !req
349. - Well, so can you.
- Me? No.
Copy !req
350. No, Zach calls me
"lovingly over-passionate."
Copy !req
351. You know what?
That's wonderful.
Copy !req
352. Oh, my God, it's a video
of you and me from just now.
Copy !req
353. Oh! Oh, my God.
Copy !req
354. Like two minutes ago?
That's so cool.
Copy !req
355. The kids are already
spreading our message!
Copy !req
356. Yep, there they are,
spreading your message.
Copy !req
357. Aw, man. Why am I not
getting these videos?
Copy !req
358. I've done everything
I possibly can
Copy !req
359. to make my phone think
I'm 22.
Copy !req
360. I haven't used
capital letters in years.
Copy !req
361. My God. I cannot believe
they betrayed our trust.
Copy !req
362. Okay, all right,
we need — we need to just
Copy !req
363. make sure that this is
an isolated incident and —
Copy !req
364. Yeah.
Copy !req
365. Sweet baby Jesus,
and the grown one, too!
Copy !req
366. My desks
have been desked!
Copy !req
367. - They got you?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
368. Oh, this is bad.
Copy !req
369. - Mnh!
- Their fault.
Copy !req
370. They went on a desking
promotional tour.
Copy !req
371. - No, uh —
- What have you done?
Copy !req
372. - All right.
- Guys?
Copy !req
373. They have
made fools of us.
Copy !req
374. I really thought that
they looked at us
Copy !req
375. as more than just teachers
but, like, friends.
Copy !req
376. Maybe
that's the problem.
Copy !req
377. They like us so much,
Copy !req
378. they've forgotten that
we're authority figures.
Copy !req
379. Whoa.
Copy !req
380. We're actually
too cool for school.
Copy !req
381. Mm-hmm. And now this thing
is spreading everywhere.
Copy !req
382. - We are losing control.
- We're out of moves.
Copy !req
383. You lose Barbara,
you lose the war.
Copy !req
384. We might have
one move left.
Copy !req
385. We can tell
the school district.
Copy !req
386. This is happening
all over the city.
Copy !req
387. - Of Philadelphia.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
388. So they will bring
that hammer down
Copy !req
389. and put an end
to all this.
Copy !req
390. Do we really want to
become narcs?
Copy !req
391. I prefer "heroes."
Copy !req
392. - So they were receptive?
- Oh, very receptive.
Copy !req
393. They don't want to be sued
Copy !req
394. if some kid slips
and falls on a desk.
Copy !req
395. Hey, Ally,
what — what are you doing?
Copy !req
396. You ain't hear?
Copy !req
397. The school district's making us
take all our desks
Copy !req
398. out of our classrooms.
Somebody snitched.
Copy !req
399. Told the school district that we
have some dangerous viral trend
Copy !req
400. that could leave the city
at risk for "legal culpability."
Copy !req
401. All because I wasn't trying to
solve the problem at all.
Copy !req
402. What idiot thought the school
district was gonna help?
Copy !req
403. Huh. What — Yeah, what
well-intentioned idiot?
Copy !req
404. Get all your desks to the gym
Copy !req
405. until this whole thing
blows over
Copy !req
406. or there's some new trend
that I don't hear about
Copy !req
407. because life is a joke, people.
Copy !req
408. Come on. Hurry up.
Copy !req
409. Who knows when those kids'll
start arriving.
Copy !req
410. They get here at 7:30.
Copy !req
411. Every day? That's wild.
Copy !req
412. Janine, how many times
is tattling
Copy !req
413. gonna bite you in the culo
before you quit being a narc?
Copy !req
414. Mm. I am too old to be doing
all of this.
Copy !req
415. At least you guys are on
the same floor as the gym.
Copy !req
416. Look, guys, I know this is
a minor inconvenience,
Copy !req
417. but at least
we stopped desking.
Copy !req
418. - Right? Yay!
- Mm.
Copy !req
419. Or we've created the greatest
desking arena ever known to man.
Copy !req
420. What fresh hell
is this?
Copy !req
421. Oh, Janine.
Copy !req
422. It's like desking
Six Flags!
Copy !req
423. We are just leading the children
into temptation, like Satan.
Copy !req
424. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
425. Is it that bad?
Copy !req
426. I think if I was a young person
who was interested in desking,
Copy !req
427. it might, you know,
call to me.
Copy !req
428. Relax, y'all. I've been
refreshing all my feeds,
Copy !req
429. and we're in the clear.
Copy !req
430. There's no way the kids
know about this.
Copy !req
431. You sure about that?
Copy !req
432. By the end of the week,
Copy !req
433. I will desk
the Abbott Elementary Gym.
Copy !req
434. - Oh, nooooo.
- No!
Copy !req
435. Okay, look.
No, no, no. No.
Copy !req
436. Don't worry, don't worry,
because we'll just take turns
Copy !req
437. - guarding the entrance.
- No!
Copy !req
438. Why is my Internet not
sending me anything cool?
Copy !req
439. I should have gotten that video
before Mr. Johnson.
Copy !req
440. No offense, boo.
Copy !req
441. It is not your phone, Ava.
Copy !req
442. You are not one of them.
You are not a Jojo Sea-bass.
Copy !req
443. You mean JoJo Siwa?
Copy !req
444. I don't know what I mean, Janine.
Copy !req
445. That's the point.
Copy !req
446. But I do know that you all
need to stop pretending
Copy !req
447. like you can relate to
these children.
Copy !req
448. Because when you do,
it just seems sad, desperate,
Copy !req
449. and embarrassing.
Copy !req
450. Mm.
Copy !req
451. You heard Barbara.
Y'all are embarrassing.
Copy !req
452. I know your plan.
Move it along.
Copy !req
453. That face don't work
on me.
Copy !req
454. Need a partner
for this shift?
Copy !req
455. Oh, no. I'm good.
Copy !req
456. Just need two men for
a stakeout and a foot chase.
Copy !req
457. Right.
Copy !req
458. All right,
what do you want?
Copy !req
459. You remember what you were
talking about?
Copy !req
460. Nope.
Copy !req
461. About having
a lot of jobs.
Copy !req
462. You ever have an experience
where you wanted a different job
Copy !req
463. than the one
you were at?
Copy !req
464. You liked the one
that you were at,
Copy !req
465. but since it's not the one
that you thought you wanted,
Copy !req
466. you're
a little conflicted?
Copy !req
467. If you think
I'm some sort of Black Yoda...
Copy !req
468. Hmm, then correct you
would be, Padawan.
Copy !req
469. You got to be open
for what life brings you.
Copy !req
470. If I'd kept aiming for
that one job
Copy !req
471. I wanted so much
when I was your age,
Copy !req
472. you'd be looking at a very
unfulfilled operations manager
Copy !req
473. at
Uncle Bradley's Baked Beans.
Copy !req
474. Damn,
I wanted that job.
Copy !req
475. Must have had some
good benefits.
Copy !req
476. And a ladder
straight to the top.
Copy !req
477. - Yeah.
- But, hey,
Copy !req
478. without that rejection,
Copy !req
479. I never would have found out
the stuff that I love.
Copy !req
480. Yeah, man. I really
wanted to be principal.
Copy !req
481. Then it didn't happen and...
Copy !req
482. and now I think
I'm mad.
Copy !req
483. You got plenty of time,
youngin'.
Copy !req
484. Attentions, please!
Copy !req
485. I really felt like I was
bonding with these kids
Copy !req
486. and that they liked me,
Copy !req
487. and as much as I felt that,
Copy !req
488. and as much as Ava
wants to be cool,
Copy !req
489. Barbara was right.
Copy !req
490. Kids will always
think teachers are lame.
Copy !req
491. Can't fight that,
but we can use it.
Copy !req
492. Once I do this
and those kids see it,
Copy !req
493. desking will be corny
and over.
Copy !req
494. Jacob, we rolling?
Copy !req
495. Kill it!
Copy !req
496. You got this, Janine.
Copy !req
497. - Whoo!
- Don't — Don't say that.
Copy !req
498. - I don't believe that she does.
- No. She's got it.
Copy !req
499. - She's not very coordinated.
- She's gonna kill it.
Copy !req
500. Oh!
Copy !req
501. - God.
- And she's down.
Copy !req
502. Oh. Oh. I'm okay. No.
Ow. I'm okay.
Copy !req
503. Ow. No, no, no.
I can still do this.
Copy !req
504. You know, this is
my Kerri Strug moment.
Copy !req
505. No, it's your "stay down and
let me get you some ice" moment.
Copy !req
506. Okay?
Y-Your ankle's blowing up.
Copy !req
507. You're not gonna be walking,
let alone desking.
Copy !req
508. But someone has to do this.
Copy !req
509. Someone the kids will think
is really lame.
Copy !req
510. - You got this, Jacob.
- Yes.
Copy !req
511. Come on, man.
Copy !req
512. Hey.
I got your sneakers.
Copy !req
513. I've been begging him
to wear these.
Copy !req
514. These are
the Honeydews.
Copy !req
515. Now, some people think that
this color is sea glass,
Copy !req
516. but that's completely ignoring
the history of the entire —
Copy !req
517. Babe, babe,
task at hand.
Copy !req
518. Ah. You're right.
I'm doing it again.
Copy !req
519. Anyways, the point is these were
built for comfort and speed.
Copy !req
520. Also,
I brought your shorts.
Copy !req
521. Oh, thanks, babe.
Copy !req
522. So, just out of curiosity,
how'd you guys meet?
Copy !req
523. Ohh, I was in a late night
line for sneakers,
Copy !req
524. and he was there protesting
the inhumane work conditions
Copy !req
525. of the place making
the sneakers.
Copy !req
526. I got the limited edition
- Smokey-
- Foams and a man that day.
Copy !req
527. Oh.
I get it now.
Copy !req
528. I forget that Black people
can also be annoying.
Copy !req
529. What'd you say?
Copy !req
530. Hey,
what's everyone watching?
Copy !req
531. Yo, some white boul
desked the gym!
Copy !req
532. - Check it! Whoa!
Copy !req
533. He's wearing
the Honeydew suedes.
Copy !req
534. Abbott Ultimate Desking Challenge.
Copy !req
535. Done! Teacher style.
Copy !req
536. - Whoa, what the —
- Whew!
Copy !req
537. Is that Mr. C?
Copy !req
538. Desking's deaded.
Copy !req
539. I can't believe
the video worked.
Copy !req
540. Yeah. Those kids
do not want to be us.
Copy !req
541. You know, the fact that
we are doing this well
Copy !req
542. without clout propping us up
is some good old-fashioned
Copy !req
543. being-pretty-darn-good-
at-our-jobs.
Copy !req
544. Yeah. You're right.
Copy !req
545. But imagine
what it'll be like
Copy !req
546. when we actually do get them
to think we're cool.
