1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: My daughter holds a grudge against me for the divorce.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: If only she knew the truth.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: Well, what's the truth, daddy?

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: The truth better be something crazy?

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Uh oh good?

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: And it is, John, I'm gonna get into it.

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: It always is.

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: My daughter, who is twenty seven, is getting married in August.

9
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: She hasn't invited my wife or our children, and I

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: am very hurts. And I told her that since my

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: family wasn't welcome, I shouldn't be welcome either.

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Dang.

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: She was yeah, get them, daddy. She was angry with

14
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: me and has called me crying, saying that I am

15
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: an a hole for doing this to her. Since who

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: is going to walk her down the aisle? Not op,

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I guess who's gonna do it. A little backstory. My

18
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: daughter was a happy child until she was thirteen and

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: her mom and I divorced. She was devastated and we

20
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: did everything from therapy, et cetera. She couldn't fathom what

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: was going on since we were a happy family. Guess

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: not so happy?

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: I guess not.

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: I met my beautiful wife four years later, and it

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: was the second blow to her, since she lived with

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: the hope that her mom and I would reconcile. She

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: never liked my wife, even with the effort my wife

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: showed later in the relationship. Now my wife and our

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: small children aren't welcome at her wedding. Everyone else is,

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: including her mom's new boyfriend and his son's seems like

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: there's like, uh, you know, maybe a little one sided

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: treatment over here.

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: It seems he've been in balance.

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: She told me that she was free to invite whoever

35
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: she wanted on her big day, and I totally agree

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: with her and support her decision. But then shouldn't I

37
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: also be free to decline the invitation? Ooh, am I

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: the a hole here, dang.

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: So to clarify, OPI uh basically kicked the dad out

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: of her wedding because she still seems hurt over the divorce.

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Right, not quite so. To be clear, Opie hasn't invited

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: her dad's wife or her children to the wedding, but

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: her dad she wants at the wedding to walk her

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: down the aisle, right.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: And he's like, well, I mean, if you're gonna get me,

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: like you're gonna get my family like this, this is

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: a paculum deal, honey, Yeah, yeah, wow, okay, uh yeah,

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: So far op is.

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: The a hole.

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: But O.

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying it. I'm okay, that's what I'm that's on record,

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: all right.

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: There is an update though, all right, but everyone in

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the comments put who you think is the A hole?

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Are there any angels here?

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: Is?

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: Everyone in an a whole? But there is an update,

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get into it. Thanks everyone. As I expected,

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: nobody is the a hole here. I understand that my

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: daughter doesn't like my family, and I wish that I

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: knew how to tackle this situation earlier. I thought I

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: was doing the right thing by giving her space when

63
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: my ex told me that she wasn't in love with

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: me anymore and that she wanted to see other people. Oh,

65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: we got a divorce and we didn't tell my daughter

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: the reason. Then my ex changed her mind a year

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: later and wanted a reconciliation for the sake of our daughter.

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Everyone told me that we were meant to be together

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: and that I should forgive her and take her my

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: ex back, including my own family and friends. Interesting, they said,

71
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: for your daughter's sake, you gotta do it. The thing was,

72
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I had fallen out of love with my ex by then,

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: but nobody forgave me and my daughter grew up listening

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: to our family blaming me for the divorce. Okay, I

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: always kept showing my daughter that she was my only priority,

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: and with time, I even told her what really happened,

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: hoping she would understand better how nuanced relationships are. Nobody

78
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: was at fault, and both her mom and I loved

79
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: her very much. I don't know how I failed there

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: or what more I should have done so she wouldn't

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: resent me the way she did and still does. When

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: I met my wife, all my daughters hope for her

83
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: parents to be together was now gone, and she hated

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: my wife. By then, she was already seventeen, and it

85
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: was harder for both my wife and I to have

86
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: a relationship with her. I didn't regret going against everyone

87
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: when I didn't want my old marriage back because I

88
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: believed and still believe, that it is my decision and

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: it is the right one. I'm sorry to say I'm

90
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: going against everyone now too, including my wife, and I'm

91
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: not going to attend my daughter's wedding. She has made

92
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: zero effort to have a relationship with me since she

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: moved out. She has refused to meet her two brothers,

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: and even now she isn't that much interested in me

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: attending as much as having her father walk her because

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: it would be embarrassing Otherwise, It's time my daughter learned

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: that actions have consequences. To answer why my daughter doesn't

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: have a beef with her mother's boyfriend, I can only speculate,

99
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: but my ex met her partner a bit later in life.

100
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Had she met someone while both my ex and I

101
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: were single and my ex had chosen to move on,

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: my daughter probably would have blamed them for break your family. Instead,

103
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: it just happened to me, my beautiful wife that took

104
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: the biggest chunk of the blame and resentment.

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: D Daddy.

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Okay, before John and I give our breakdown, Okop, Gang,

107
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: what do you think? Do we got any angels? Do

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: we got any a holes? Is everyone in an ahole? Is

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: everyone an angel? Are there no ales? Are there no angels?

110
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: Tell us what would you do? Put in the comments?

111
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: And we're about to give you our breakdown, John, what

112
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: do you think?

113
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so torn on this one because it seems

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: what Op is implying, and of course we we wouldn't

115
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: know unless we really.

116
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: Get his daughter's perspective.

117
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: But it seems what OPI is implying, is that op

118
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: doesn't or that his daughter doesn't like his current wife

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: because his daughter is putting blame on her for ruining

120
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: her parents' marriage, Right.

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: So, like, yeah, that'd one.

122
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: It would be one thing.

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: If it was like, you know, you know, my wife

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: just kept telling her, oh, she needs like go extracy

125
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: and like look good for her big day, and now

126
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: she doesn't want at the wedding. If it was something

127
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: like that, it's like, yeah, I get her out of here,

128
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But it I think it

129
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: gets a lot trickier when it's like it seems like

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: the daughter doesn't want the the the wife of OPI's

131
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: wife for that reason, for the reason of she yah

132
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: putting the blame on the divorce.

133
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like, you know, it's I think, well,

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: I guess the question is like, if you're having a wedding,

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: you can you.

136
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: Get to choose who you ultimately? Yet right, yes?

137
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Right? So ultimately I think you know, the daughter has

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the right to choose whoever she wants. What is the

139
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: most charitable and nice thing to do, Like, if she

140
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: was an absolute angel, it would probably be to invite

141
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: her dad's whole family and like try to rekindle some

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: kind of relationship with her dad. And you know, like

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: just because our dad, you know, found love that wasn't

144
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: her mom doesn't like like she shouldn't hold a grudge

145
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: against him for that, right, But I understand that it's

146
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: very hard maybe to do that, especially when it happens young.

147
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: So I think, like, I think I think they're both

148
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: being a little petty. I think they're both being a

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: little petty. There's a little pettyess there, Like the daughter

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: is a little petty because she's not inviting her father's family.

151
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: And I think the dad is being petty, like he

152
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: should be a dad, you know, like you know, fuck

153
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: fuck the if if his daughter isn't inviting your family,

154
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Like I understand, but like you know, it's your daughter

155
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: still still walking down the aisle. It's it's like the

156
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: day is ultimately about her or not you, And I

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: think the dad is making it more about him. So

158
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: I think you're both a little petty. He if like

159
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: if they were trying to be the best people ever, uh,

160
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I think you know, the dad would go to the

161
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: wedding and the daughter would invite the family if they

162
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: were being the best people possible. But I don't think

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: they're like a holes for not doing that.

164
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, they're This is a little bit

165
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: of a whole behavior both both ways.

166
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't.

167
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm thinking like if I was

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: in Op's position, I don't know.

169
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think. I don't think I would

170
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: skip the wedding honestly, like I would, I wouldn't. I

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: would make it known.

172
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: Like listen, I want the you know, the rest the

173
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: rest of my family to be here. But I'm also like,

174
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think I would like to make

175
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 3: a stand like, you know, not go.

176
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

177
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think generally like it is something that

178
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: I I, you know, I don't like about Reddit in general.

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: It's like they're very vindictive, like as a group of people,

180
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: and so it's like you fuck me up, I'm gonna

181
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: fuck you up. And I just don't think that's how

182
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: you like make a better world. And so we might

183
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: get flamed in the comments on TikTok or YouTube or

184
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: whatever for like having this stance. There's like no, like

185
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: he's in the right right, but it's not like who

186
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: has the right to do something bad. It's like, how

187
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: can we be the most good? Right? And yeah, I

188
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: feel like both of these people are missing the bar

189
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: a little bit.

190
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: Or we can we can floor the gas and you

191
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: know what, or.

192
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: Fucking eye for an eye, baby, let me stab an

193
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: icicle in your freaking eye socket. Yeah yeah, body, Okay,

194
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: but you know, John and I just threw people. Do

195
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: you agree with what we said? Do you disagree? Tell us?

196
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: Why?

Speaker 1: Please? You know? Toast or roast us take us down

198
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: a nutch you know, to cut our testicles off and

199
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: put them in a jar fromaldehyde if you so choose.

200
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: Or or don't, or you could pass on that.

201
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: Who's the damast person you've ever met? Okayop? This is Okayop.

202
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm Samuel daughter, I'm Johr. And we tell the funniest

203
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: stories on the entranets, almost like we sing them to

204
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: you with the sweet, sweet lungs of.

205
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 2: Singing of the air of the gods.

206
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Of the gods. I'm actually imagining like like a Mariachi band,

207
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: but full of zoos symphocida.

208
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: That's definitely our style, dom don't don't.

209
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: The question is like, is it like zoos symposeidon with

210
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: like the full outfit, full outfit.

211
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, full affit everything. Yeah, it's gotta be anyway,

212
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: it's just bulging out. I got a question for you, John, actually,

213
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: and not even a story.

214
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: Oh let me know what is it?

215
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Who's the damast person you've ever met? It's not uncommon

216
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: as a teacher to have students who are a bit

217
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: behind the curve in certain aspects. But ninety nine point

218
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: nine nine nine percent of the time they are keen

219
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: to understand something. They might not understand how to identify

220
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: it now and or what theme is, but they somehow

221
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: know how to make a mean plate of nachos. Like

222
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, you learn pretty quick not to judge a

223
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: fish for their tree climbing ability. You know, I thought

224
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: this was the rule when I was teaching, until I

225
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: met Kevin. Kevin Kevin isn't his real name, but it

226
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because he can't spill it anyway. Kevin was

227
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: a student divine. During my last year of teaching. He

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: came to my classroom with very little to show for

229
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: his academic past. He had moved a few times and

230
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: thus was missing a lot of typical test scores that

231
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: we use to try to ballpark their ability don't worry.

232
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: It was ballpark. We didn't make any decisions until we

233
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: actually had a chance to sit and talk with them

234
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: and work with the student for a bit. Okay, I thought,

235
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: that's fine, I'll just do some one on one with Kevin.

236
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: See what's up, good idea.

237
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: One on one with Kevin was like conversing with someone

238
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: who'd forgotten everything in a freak, if not in possible

239
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: amnesia incident. There was no evidence that he had learned

240
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: anything past the second grade, and he was in ninth grade.

241
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh dear flabbergacid. I figured we needed to get more

242
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: serious with this. If he was going to be in

243
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: my class, I needed to know why and how he

244
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: didn't understand anything. I decided to meet with him, his

245
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: guidance counselor his parents, and another teacher to see what

246
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: was really going on. This is where it all became clear.

247
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: It was some incredible fluke that his family hadn't been

248
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: wiped out of the face of the earth years ago.

249
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: Odds are his entire heritage was based on blind luck

250
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: and some kind of sick divine intervention that saves his

251
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: family every time a threat presents itself. Kevin was the

252
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: genetic pinnacle of this null achievement. Even with my instructional lead,

253
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: this woman couldn't even find a redeeming trait at the

254
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: bottom of the Marianas trench, and she failed to see

255
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: any reason this kid or his family should be alive today.

256
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: So here's the list of events that made it abundantly

257
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: clear that God exists and he's laughing uncontrollably. Kevin frequently

258
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: forgot when and where classes were, and on more than

259
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: one occasion I had to retrieve him from other classrooms.

260
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Kevin ate an entire pack of twenty four crayons a

261
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: ninth grader puked, and then did it again the next day. Oh,

262
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: this is ninth grade. I have no idea where he

263
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: got the crayons.

264
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Oh.

265
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Kevin was removed from the culinary arts program after leaving

266
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: a cutting board on the gas stove and starting a

267
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: fire twice. Kevin threw his lunch at the school resource

268
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: officer and tried to run away. He ran into a

269
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: door and insisted it wasn't him. Oh my god, Kevin

270
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: stole my phone during class. I called it it rang

271
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: He denied it was ringing, not that it wasn't his,

272
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: not that he did it. No, he denied that the

273
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: phone was actually ringing. He tried it three times before

274
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Oh my god, Kevin called

275
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: the basketball coach a mother F and b during Jim

276
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: basketball tryouts were that afternoon. Kevin tried out. It did

277
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: not go well. Kevin's mom could never remember which school

278
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: he went to. She missed several meetings because she drove

279
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: to other schools, none of which he ever attended. Kevin

280
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: would say the N word a lot. Kevin was white

281
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: and this high school was eighty four percent black. Kevin

282
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: got beat up a lot. Kevin stole another student's iPhone

283
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: and tried to sell it back to them. Kevin didn't

284
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: understand that his grade was dependent on tests, quizzes, homework,

285
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: class work, and participation. Kevin finished his first semester with

286
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: a three percent average average. He then tried to bribe

287
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: me with eleven dollars. Kevin spit on a girl and

288
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: said you should get out of those wet clothes. The

289
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: girl was a Spanish student teacher. Kevin didn't know dogs

290
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: and cats were different animals. That's all for this one.

291
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: God, I don't even know what to say.

292
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: At first, I was like, Wow, this poor kid, is

293
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: just so stupid, and I'm just like, I don't even

294
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: know what to think.

295
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: Like Kevin seems like a mean, stupid yeah.

296
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

297
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: Like at first I was like, oh, it's kind of

298
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: adorable in some way, like he's just eating crans, and

299
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: then it's like, oh, he's like so mean, Like what's

300
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: going on here?

301
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, is not Kevin's no good, no good, but you

302
