1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for turning in a school

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: project that shows that I live in a crap holed

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: neighborhood where everyone sucks? Okop, this is Okayop. I'm samuel

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: daughter and I'm John from and we tell the funniest

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: stories on the internet. And John, if you were to

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: like take a walk around your neighborhood and having to

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: give like a tour and like this is your direct neighborhood,

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: what would you see? What would you find?

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, we have some interesting houses. We have one

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: that has a mosaic museum inside of it really not

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: even jokes. Yeah, it's like legally a museum, but also

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: a house or something.

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Right right right around the Is it like around the

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: corner from your place.

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah, it's walking distance in my little back

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: neighborhood area. We have a house with like we thought

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: for sure that it was like one hundred percent abandon

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: There's like a car with like ten years of dust

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: on it, so we thought it was like one hundred

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: percent of bandon. But then out of nowhere they put

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: up like really crappy like Christmas lights on this like

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: giant overgrown tree in front of their house.

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: So we're like like, I guess someone lives there and

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: they're in the Christmas spirit, Yes they are.

25
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: And then there's there's someone who literally has like the

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: plants straight out if you just copy and pasted like

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: an island jungle that like is there like surrounding area

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: of their.

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: House really like plants galore. I mean, just like like

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park kind of plants.

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Practice palm tree, just like weird like trees and plants

32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: that you don't even know what they are and just

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: like filled around.

34
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Your neighborhood's done, super super interesting. This story is a

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: story about a neighborhood that is maybe not as inviting

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: as you are.

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: It's not as interesting.

38
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: Okay, am I the a hole for turning in a

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: school project that shows that I live in a crap

40
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: hole neighborhood where everyone sucks. Hmmm. I'm a high school

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: student in a Spanish class and we had an assignment

42
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: to make a video tour of our place. It had

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: to be in Spanish, and it had to be conversational,

44
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: like you were showing it around to a friend, like, Hey,

45
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: look at this pland look at this mosaics. It's pretty cool.

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Don't date l planto?

47
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Yes, you know John is very u Spanish speak. He's

48
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Spanish speech. Yo a blow espaniol or tua bla s

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Espanol holcory Okay. I decided to just walk around my

50
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: street and make a tour of that because my family

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: wasn't going anywhere else. So this is what I filmed.

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: A neighbor's house when I walked by and they were

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: having a screaming fight like usual, and I said, here

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: are the neighbors. They are very angry. They like to

55
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: yell in the morning, afternoon, and night. Buenosdes. The next

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: neighbor's house, Joe and Tammy live here. They are very

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: nice and have three dogs. At that moment, someone drives

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: by and cat calls me profanely, hey ay, no one

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: thuts something like that would probably worse, as I joke.

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I yelled back and stupid old perro, which means stupid dog.

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: Then he slammed his break and yelled something racist about

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: me being Mexican before speeding off. I said to the camera,

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: this man is very stupid. He is a man, but

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: acts like a dog. Also, I'm white, but I think

65
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: this idiot assumed I was a Hispanic because I was

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: speaking Spanish. I also introduced ten other mundane things like flowers,

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: a bird, etc. I cut out the long sequences of

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: me walking, but I left in everything else. My teacher

69
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: had a rubric of the types of descriptions and numbers

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: of things you needed, and taking any out would lose

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: me points. It was too dark out to film anymore,

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: so I stopped. The second part of the assignment was

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: to upload the video on the school website and post

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: comments back and forth, responding to several of your classmates videos.

75
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: One of my friends from class recognized the racist guy

76
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: as someone who volunteers with the middle school soccer team.

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: So the guy that was cat calling is teaching kids

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: out to play soccer? What? So she texted me like,

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: ha ha, Should I say something? And I said sure?

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: So she posted in Spanish in the car is mister

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Jones who coaches the children? I learned from your video

82
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: that he hates women and is racist. I replied to say,

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: does he teach the girls or the boys, and she

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: replied back both. I replied back, that is terrible. I

85
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: love how all these sentences are super simple, but they're

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: so savage. A guy in my class made a comment

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: like the man yelling at his family is a police officer.

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: He is always a very angry man. I replied back

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: to say, that is scary. The next day at school,

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: my teacher wanted to talk to me alone. She told

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: me my video was inappropriate and I shouldn't have filmed

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the neighbors or the coach. I said that this assignment

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: was literally to walk around a place you're familiar with

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: and react like you're having a conversation with a friend,

95
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: and that is literally how it goes when I walk

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: around my house with my friends. My teacher said I

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: was being a delligerent on purpose, and I should have

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: known that this stuff has to be dealt with delicately.

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: I said, I just don't agree. It's just life, and

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: there's no point of pretending that it's not happening.

101
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: Facts, Opie, I like OPI is literally dropping these like

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: philosophical gems, just yeah, nonchalantly.

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: She said she'd taken down the video and it was

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that she'd be brought to the

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: authorities instead of posted for the whole class. I said,

106
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even know the guy in the car, and

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: who was I going to call about the cop? The cops?

108
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Who police is the police? I have a meeting with

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the principal coming up tomorrow. Am I the a hole

110
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: for posting a video for Spanish class?

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 2: First off, man, can we have a little humor?

112
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: I love give we have a little comedy, man like.

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: I honestly, watching that video, I would have cracked up.

115
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I would have thought it was hilarious. Yeah, she did

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: do the assignment that she did. She understood the assignment,

117
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Yes she did. But there's an update. John, Oh, I

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: had a meeting this morning and I think it went well.

119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I have a study hall now, so I have a

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: little more time to write an update. So last night

121
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: I did a bunch of prep before the meeting. I

122
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: emailed the video to the elementary school principal, guidance counselor,

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: and a few parents I know with kids on the

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: sports team to say their coach had yelled sexually explicit

125
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: and hateful things at me, a student in the school system.

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to get out ahead and make sure the

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: video was out there before the school might pressure me

128
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: to delete it. Then I backed up the video to

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: multiple places. Then I asked a teacher I trust to

130
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: sit in on this meeting and have it be recorded

131
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and sent to all participants. Afterwards, we scheduled it for

132
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: just before the school day started on zoom so I

133
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't miss any class. And then finally I decided to

134
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: write up a list of things I'd want discussed in

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: the meeting and shared it with my favorite teacher in

136
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: advance so she can help me address the questions. Bro

137
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: shout out to Opie. Opie came really prepared, gosh darn.

138
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: And for the actual meeting, I decided I just go

139
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: into it acting as if they would obviously do the

140
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: right thing and ask for help. I was hoping having

141
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: a teacher on my side and the meeting on video

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: would pressure them to help. I thought if I approached

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: it from and well, obviously you're going to take this

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: seriously perspective, and had it on video, it would put

145
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: them in a tough spot to have to contradict me.

146
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: So when I called in, everyone said good morning, and

147
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the principal asked if I knew why I had been

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: called in this morning. I just started out by saying, yes,

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: I assume it's about the kid's coach. Thank you so

150
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: much for calling me to this meeting this morning. I

151
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: really appreciate how proactive you are about addressing the sexual

152
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: harassment from a staff member. I understand this is a

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: mandated reporting state, and I wanted to ask if there's

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: any information you will need to add to your report.

155
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: That is how it's done.

156
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: And the principle seemed kind of caught out and said

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: a report had not yet been filed. I said, well,

158
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: as I understand it, there is a forty eight hour

159
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: timeframe to file report. I understand making you aware of

160
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: this right before the weekend might have complicated. Perhaps there

161
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: was a miscommunication about the severity of the events, but

162
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: I was approaching a car sexually harassed and threatened by

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: a man who worked with other miners in the public

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: school system. As soon as I said all that, the

165
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: meeting tone really changed. The meeting also had a school

166
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: guidance counselor on it, and I could tell she understood

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: how serious what I was saying was, especially because I

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: was politely calling out that they were already past the

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: legal deadline and that they should have filed the report already.

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: She actually took over and the principal didn't participate that much.

171
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: I also tried to smooth things over somewhat by saying

172
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: I was sorry, I brought this to their attention in

173
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: a school project. Instead of asking for a meeting with

174
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: the principal directly, I should have reached out for help.

175
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: So that's over. I'm still kind of freaking out how

176
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: big of a deal it turned out to be. Also,

177
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I want to say thanks to everyone who had suggestions

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: about how to approach this, like having an adult to

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: back me up, getting the meeting on record, and knowing

180
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: about the mandatory reporting. OPI is literally a hero. OPI

181
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: is a freaking lawyer.

182
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: Bro, like just bowling out just this incredible.

183
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,560
