young, impressionable minds of the future with this?
"Tisha Turtle, Olympic Track Star"?
Who cares if Tisha can run fast?
Tisha should be teaching us kids how to grow
into healthy, competent adults
who are able to support themselves financially
and contribute to society.
- Really? All this for a turtle?
- Tisha is not just a turtle.
She's an indoctrination tool used to promote
feelings of self-worth that are dependent
on external sources of evaluation
as a result of competition.

But this time I need you to be more excited.
Give me some passion, here, Stephen.
- There's nothing exciting
about boiling alive in a hot car.
- The 'gram don't know that. Now, come on, I gotta get
these followers up for my channel.
- I'm not pretending to have a life I don't have

that made $11 million opening boxes?
I mean, come on, aren't you tired of struggling?

Hey, what's up, y'all?
It's your boy, Stephen, and Angela
at our daughter's elementary school.
And it's crazy out here.
We got kids leaving school,
crossing guards blowin' whistles,
parents fallin' asleep in their hot cars.
Parent life is crazy!
- You know what? Never mind. I just lost three subscribers.
And one of them was my mom.
- Mm. Yikes.
Hey, hon. And...friend.
Hello, small child.
- Stacey, there are my parents.
Parents, this is Stacey. We're best friends now.
She's coming over for dinner.
- Zuri, you can't just bring someone else's kid home.
Hmm. Unless we livestream it.
- Welcome to my castle.

My mom and dad will get them.

If he don't start doin' something with his life now,
he's gonna end up a starving artist
with a child he can't afford, driving an old, beat-up car,
living off his girlfriend's family forever.
No offense.

He only speaks two words and that's "Lemme alone."
