• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Elementary school is a great place for kids to learn,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to make friends, explore their interests, fight each other. At
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: least that's what one teacher believes. There's no issue that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: can't be resolved without fists. What?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Is that teacher still working?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Is that Conor McGregor?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: So he calls the parent of a student who recently
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: got into a scrap with another kid. And I wonder
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: how this dad is going to take teacher's unorthodox advice.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: In your phone tap right now.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, is this Stan W * * * * *?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Who's this? My name is Mr. Rupert. I'm one of
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the teachers at B * * * * * Elementary.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Hello. Hi.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So you're, uh, Your son is Brandon, correct? Yes, he is.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, so I was one of the faculty who
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: witnessed the fight that he was in yesterday.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've met with the vice principal. I've had a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: conversation with Brandon about it, how fighting is not ever
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the answer when there's a disagreement.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Or anything like that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I fully agree, but I wanted
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to maybe give you some off-the-record advice.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you heard, but Brandon lost.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Look, when there's a fight at school, pretty much everyone loses.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's bad for everybody. Yeah, sure. No, but I mean, honestly,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Brandon got wiped.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Why are you telling me that?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Well, again, so this is all off the record. I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: just saying he doesn't have to lose.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what you're getting at.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I think if Brandon learns how to properly take a punch,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he could hang in there just a little bit longer.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, look, this is very strange because... I don't want
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: my son fighting. I don't want Brandon to fight anymore.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, nobody wants that to happen, but if it does.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be better if Brandon just doesn't get in fights?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a better idea?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, in a perfect world, yes.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, in a perfect world, but in any world. In
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the world we live in now, wouldn't it be better
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: if he never got in a fight with that kid? Yes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Stan, I need you to focus on what I'm about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to tell you here. Because I can let Brandon punch
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me in the face a few times. I'll give it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back to him. That way I think he can really
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: improve his technique.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You're a teacher at my son's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: school and you're asking me to punch my son. You're
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: asking me if you can punch my son after he
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: punches you in the face. I'd like to punch you
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in the face.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We can all punch each other.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I want him to punch me first before I punch
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: him back and show him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: How to do it properly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want him punching anyone. Is that that hard
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to understand?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just a suggestion. If you don't want it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: It's a terrible suggestion.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: If you want Brandon to get mopped up again, fine.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's totally up to you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want Brandon fighting again. That's what I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you're missing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Okay. I hear you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And if you feel more comfortable having your family present
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: while this instruction happens, I'm more than happy to let
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: your wife punch me first.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Then your son.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: No, that's very big of you. I don't want anyone
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: in my family punching anyone. Do you understand that? I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: don't want any of my family fighting. I don't want
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: me fighting. I don't want me punching anyone, my son,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: my wife, my daughter, my cousin, my dog, anyone.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Look, I gave it a shot. Yes, you did.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: While I have you on the phone, by the way,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: would you be interested in volunteering for our Pinwheel of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Peace program at the school coming up?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Really? Really. Really?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You were just talking about how you don't want anybody
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to fight with each other.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Got to say, I'm not so, after this phone call,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not so enthusiastic about the.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: School at all.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think you understand what we do. We
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: decorate these pinwheels, and then we plant them in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: ground in the shape of a peace sign to promote
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: world harmony.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And yet, at the same time, you're advocating for my
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: son to fight.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: No, I just want him to get hit in the face.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see. I see. That's different. I guess I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: misinterpreted what you were saying.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. So now we're on the same page.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So do you want to bring your family to the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: schoolyard after?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. You're making this pretty difficult.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And what was your name again?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Mr. Rupert.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Mr. Rupert. Okay, great. I just want to make sure
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I have your name.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Are you writing that down or something?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I am writing it down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Well, look, if you're planning to, like, tell the principal
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that Mr. Rupert made this phone call, they're just going
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to laugh in your face because no Mr.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Rupert works there.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I won't tell the principal, but I will tell
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the parents. Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: No, you're not going to want to do that. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: person you're going to want to talk to is your wife, Serena,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: who set you up for this prank phone call.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Wait. Wait, what?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because my real name is Jeff. I work on
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Your wife, Serena said that your kid got in trouble
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: fighting at school the other day and she wanted to
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: help lighten the mood.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Cause she says it's been. Pretty crazy at the house. Oh,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I can't believe she did that. Oh, you got me
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: good there.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't want your kid to learn how
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to take a punch to the face properly.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Stan, just let a teacher punch your kid in the face.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let me punch your teacher in the face.
• 5:33
