  Speaker 1: Today, we call a woman who, along with her husband,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: just bit on an item at their son's elementary school auction. Okay,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the item was your child is principal for a day.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: At our school. I've heard about this.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of schools that do it, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: he usually they'll do things cute like recess gets extended
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: by ten minutes, or everyone gets to watch a movie
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: during one period of class. But we're calling to tell
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the mom that her son has gone rogue and now
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that he's in charge, he's requesting stuff that's way over
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the line. So the tyranny has to end in your
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: phone tap right now another.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, is this Serena Bell. This is Vice Principal
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Williams from elementary and I'm calling because, as you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: your son Bryce is principal for the day today.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Oh Hi, how's it going?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll be honest, not great.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no, what happened?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It started off okay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: He made the morning announcement, was very cute. But then
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: some of his requests, well, they began pushing the envelope,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I'll say, and the teachers just feel a little uncomfortable.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Oh no, what did he ask for? Your son? Bryce said?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: He wanted to start off the school day with the
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: children in the higher grades working on their division.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh that means you laugh.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you realize this, but that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a pretty unreasonable request.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Not really, Okay, maybe I should take this back a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You see, that's tractually considered learning and anything of that magnitude.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It needs to be approved through the Union. Do you see?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So children should not want to learn new things on
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: their own?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Is that what you're No.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We love, we love when they want to learn new things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's just it needs to be approved.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And you know, between you and me, I don't think
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: most of our teachers know that type of math to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: even teach. Wait, you're saying that your teachers don't know
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: how to divide. I saw some of them scrambling for
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: their calculator apps on their phones.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It was pretty shocking. You're joking right now. I wish
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And then instead of recess, Bryce wanted everyone to spend
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: those twenty minutes learning the names of US presidents.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And what's the problem with that?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I kept thinking, I don't even remember the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: guy's name before, the one who falls asleep all the time.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody knows presidents. That doesn't matter anymore.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, listen, I paid for this at the school auction,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and everything you're saying to me sounds completely reasonable.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I tried to explain it to him as well.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I met with him one on one and I said, Brice,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: what about implementing a mandatory board game hour like Candy
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Land or Shoots and.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Ladders, you know, like normal kids stuff. And you know
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: what he said.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: He said he wanted to do Monopoly. Monopoly what it
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is obviously so unfair to the middle class. I had
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to Vito that it sounds to me like my son
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: has done nothing wrong and you don't know what you're
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: doing at the school. Do you think it's reasonable that
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: his monopoly idea, which was played in class, made his
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: teacher cry. Why would the teacher cry because he basically
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: shamed her for her teacher's salary. He shamed her. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: mean he didn't say that exactly, but can you imagine
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: how it would feel to her not being able to
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: buy a railroad, let alone broadway?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you for real?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It has been a nightmare, ma'am. It has been a nightmare.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: There's even been a talk about a possible teacher walk
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: out to protest.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: What all my masking is.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: If you could just talk to Bryce and ask.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Him to step down from his post just a little early.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna ask him to step down. How about
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you step down for not wanting kids to learn anything?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: To see where he gets it from, you should be proud. Look,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I can just get him on the phone with you
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and you tell him that he's wrong for trying to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: educate others without getting union approval.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: There is nothing wrong.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, hold on just one second, let me grab them. No,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking to my son that by Hello, you
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: want me to tell your mom that this is a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: prank phone call? What? Well, you're the principal.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: What did you say? Oh? Oh gosh, sorry, Yeah, Principal
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Bryce says he wants me to tell you you're getting
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: phone tapped on the radio.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean? This is actually Brug from the radio show
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Broug and Jeffy in the Morning, and your husband, Joel
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: set you up for a phone tap.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Knew it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Joel told us all about principal for the day
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and you're.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Killed and he thought it would be funny. I mean,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Why you're so worried that the teachers didn't know how
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to do division.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's terrible. Oh, come on, when was the last time
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you did it without a calculator?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: The week up every morning was phone tap weekday mornings
• 5:30
