Speaker 1 (00:01):
Previously on Brewster High. Brewster High star frisbee player has
been horrifically injured in an unexpected tackle. Let me get
this straight. Brady Brewster, the most popular guy at our school,
mysteriously went missing a few nights ago. You know, the
charity ball is coming up and my date Brady's missing.
Everybody in this town bets on frisbee games. With that
(00:22):
Brady kid missing, It's turn our whole betting algorithm in
a blue Of course, I'm not having an affair with
a student. I'm happily married, but I would if I could.
Like the teachers we ranked them, and Brady is remember
one we found something in the basement of the school.
It sounds like a vault. We're gonna have to get
it open before we show you. Do any of you
get easily alarmed for an otherwise sensitive demeanor, you can
(00:45):
handle it dextra. Then take a look at this. Attention
Brewster High. The gang is in the basement seeing what
was hidden in the vault. I cannot believe what I'm
(01:08):
looking at. I think I'm gonna be sick. Hold it together, High,
It's important that you look at this. I don't want
to look, but not that I am. I can't look away.
Should we leave it here or take it with us?
Let's take a picture, but we better leave it here.
I got it. I had a camera in my iPhone.
We all have cameras in our iPhone. Yeah, my iPhone
is also a flashlight. And that's the story of how
(01:32):
we found a human head in the vault in the
basement of our school. I got a hand, Tate Clara,
this is a first rate piece of investigative journalism. You
kept the reader engaged. What was in that vault? Is
she going to tell us or keep us hanging? We'll
run this next issue, and I've already got the headline
Brewster high just got ahead. That really is a headline.
(01:56):
Wait a second, are you sure that heads Brady's Oh
it definitely wasn't Brady's head. That's not the story recovering
you're supposed to be writing about Brady Brewster. Sorry, Mr
Nelson Clara. Journalism is about focus discipline, So forget this
human head business and get back to the stuff your
readers really care about, Like did you win the talent show?
We came in second, I'm seeing there might be a
(02:18):
story there. I want six thousand words I'm coming in
second at the Talent show by Thursday. Six thousand words.
That's going to be hell on my dictation software. Got
anything else you want to run past me? Yeah? Actually,
there's this new piece I'm working on about Britt starts
like this. Brn Marischino has had a difficult year after
(02:38):
her father's shot and killed the City Zoo's beloved Koala.
His bumper sticker business went under, so they were forced
to sell their house to Geffen. As it turns out,
Britain got a part time job as a school janitor
until the school bought a cutting edge janitor robot, the
R one thousand. Then that robot did to Bryn what
robots have been doing to humans for thousands of years
(03:00):
and put her out of a job. I imagine Brin's
conversation with her boss want something like this, Brin, I'm
afraid I have to fire you. Why are one thousand here?
Tells me you've been doing a halfast job. That pile
of junk is a fucking liar. Shean's can't lie. Everybody
knows that. Who am I supposed to believe? Oh man,
(03:22):
I need this job, I need the money. You kill
Koala that's what you get. I didn't kill that Koala.
I'm not my dad. I'm sorry, Britt. We just don't
need you anymore. That robot can't do everything itself. I mean,
who's going to clean the robot? We have another robot
that does that. Now you are two thousand, Come here
(03:43):
on two thousand. There's someone I want you to meet. Hello.
I'm the automated cleaning robot model our two thousand. I'm
like our one thousand better. I give up. The robots
win again. I hope you both enjoyed the little private
hell you've built for yourselves. Goodbye. Well that was a Quinn.
(04:15):
That bell signifies the end of the day. Frisbee practice
will be taking place in the gym. Let's listen in okay,
frisbee team. Ever since we lost Brady, we've lost every game.
Don't get it in your head that there's some sort
of honor in losing. There's no heartwarming lesson that comes
out of it. I am not Ted Lasso. And there's
(04:39):
no sign above my door that says believe now. The
sign about my door says you don't have to be
crazy to work here, but it helps. I don't even
have to read it. It makes me laugh. Now we're
gonna do some frisbee drills, but first in Brady's absence.
I'm making high our new captain and first dispoy, and
he wanted to say a few words. Thanks Coach Bagley. Everybody,
(05:03):
I realize it's been hard with Brady gone. I know
better than anybody he was my best friend. Here's the thing,
We've got to move on. As long as we still
have hope that Brady will come back and take over
us first this boy, then we'll always be stuck in
second gear, just like they saying. Friends. If we want
to start winning again, we have to forget about Brady.
(05:24):
We have to let him go as if he's never
coming back. Goodbye Brady forever. Hi, guys, I'm back Brady Brewster.
After Brady's surprise return, everyone had a lot of questions,
so we ditched class and went through the local coffee shop,
(05:44):
you know the one. It's where all the high school
students hang out. We even invited Geffen. He's not a
member of our friend group yet, but we figured we'd
get him to pay for the drinks. Coffee's on me, everybody,
in honor of Brady's return, thanks and thanks to everybody,
But I'm feeling pretty confused. I bet let's take it
(06:06):
slow and start at the beginning. The last thing I
remember is the Big Ultimate Frisbee game, and I got
totally tackled, and then I walked back into the gym
this afternoon. You don't remember anything from then till now. Nothing.
Why how long was I gone, Brady? You were gone
for three weeks? Oh my god, so much must have changed.
We have flying cars and jet packs yet not yet,
(06:27):
but they are working on it. What about the new
Avatar sequels? Don't worry, they haven't all come out yet.
That's a relief. I've been really curious about what happens
next to those crazy aliens who live on Pandora. They're
going to find all the unobtaining this time. Last time
we all saw you, you were on crutches. I don't
remember any of that, but I feel fine now. You
feel good enough to dance? What are you getting at Britain?
(06:47):
Before you disappeared, you and I were planning to go
to a charity ball together. You were my date. It's
a charity ball. What's that? I'm guessing it's a dance
of some sort and the money goes to charity. Kind
of charity is the name of the girl who's sponsoring
the dance. She's launching a new skin CareLine, so she
has naming rights. And you say, I'm your date. What's
a date? Let's get back to the past three weeks, Brady.
(07:11):
What else don't you remember? That's a stupid question. How
can you remember what he doesn't remember? Can you not
make me feel small right now? I'm sorry, but it's
just my personality. And what about Frisbee? I know him
first disc boy? Actually I'm first disc boy. Now, well,
I assume that's just temporary. We'll see about that. We
need to jog Brady's memory somehow, Britt. How about you
(07:33):
take him back to his house? That thought a trigger
or something? Good? Idea, dexter. Come on, Brady, I'll take
you home to see your parents. If I'm using this
word correctly, it's a date. Attention Brewster High. Now Brian
(07:53):
is returning Brady to his home. In other news, it
appears I no longer even need to be at school
to make p A announcements. I can just see whatever
I want, Okay, Brit Before we go in my house,
I just want to warn you about my parents. They
get obsessed over in tear your decorating. All parents are eccentric.
Don't worry about it. Brady, Is that you and his
(08:19):
friend Brent Hi? Oh hey, old son of a gun. Yeah,
we thought we lost you. Well here I am just
disappeared entirely for three weeks with absolutely no memory of
what happened. Well, whatever the case, it's good to have
you back. It sure is, Brady. We totally hadn't forgotten
about you. Please come on in. This is your home too,
(08:39):
after all. Get any here, kid house. First, take a
look around the living room. Do you notice anything different?
I don't know. Those coffee table books right there? What
about them? Are they different coffee table books and the
ones that were there three weeks ago? Exactly? You're the
first person to see the room with the new car
(09:00):
table books. They're very nice. Moment. Yeah, it really fits
well in the place. Mr Brewster. Who are you again?
Maskino Brady's friend? Oh you're that girl whose dad killed
the Koala. You guys are total prias. Okay, well, if
you don't mind, Mom and dad. I'm pretty exhausted from
whatever happened that I don't remember, so I'm just going
to go up to my room and lie down. Oh
(09:22):
what is it? That might not be such a good idea.
Did you empty out my room already? No, it's exactly
the same. We're just airben being it at the moment. Well, jeez,
kick them out. Oh no, no, no, no, it's fine.
They're gonna be got in like thirty or forty minutes.
We're only running it by the hour. It's really just
for people to have sex. You know, people pay atually
have sex in an authentic teenager's bedroom. Mainly married people
(09:44):
having affairs, you know, people in the neighborhood, so not strangers.
We're not doing it for the money. I mean, the
money is nice, but we're doing it to contribute a
little joy to the world, you know, pay it forward.
So if you just want to come back in an
hour or so, fine, just make sure to put on
clean sheets. Come on, Brandon, Well did it jog your memory? Nothing?
(10:07):
Still a black hole? So do we have to pay
your parents to have sex in your bedroom? Now? Attention
Brewster High. If anyone needs to talk to Principal Fairweather,
she is currently in her office. This means you, Clara,
Clara always happening to catch up with the school star
reporter here to gather news. Actually, I'm here to deliver news.
(10:30):
Brady Brewster is back. M Sorry I fought when I'm shocked.
What happened? No one knows. Brady has no memory, and
then he just walked into the gym during frisbee practice
this afternoon like nothing happened. Hey, I didn't tell you that.
How would you know? Well, all's well, that ends well.
(10:51):
I guess that wraps up that newspaper article you've been
working on. I guess so. And yet I have this
feeling there's some exciting major developments yet to come, events
that will be both surprising and totally satisfying. I think
I better pay a visit to my journalism teacher, Mr
Nelson for some of his wise objectivity. Mr Nelson, I
(11:14):
need an extension on the deadline for my article. What
about Brady Brewster's disappearance? Yes, pretty much the only thing
I've been talking to you about for weeks, that one.
But Brady's back Now. There's no story. The story is
about the mysterious way he disappeared, in the lack of
an explanation of where he's been, No one cares about
that anymore. Clara, it's all news. People have moved on.
(11:35):
But Mr Nelson, I'm eight six in the story. Get
back to some real reporting, ten thousand words on tree
Bark for the next issue. But I was just with
Principal fair Weather, and she says, the principal fair Weather
is the one who killed the story. This comes straight
from the top. Now go get me that tree Bark
story before someone else scoops you. But here's how I
start your tree Bark article. Clara left the school newspaper
(11:56):
office knowing that her teacher was right. Our next stop
was a coffee shop where her and her friends hang out.
She was meeting Bryn geffn Dexter and Hide, but Geffen
was in one of his moods. You guys, this time,
I am not paying for anyone else's coffees. Last time
was a special occasion. Okay, that's fine. You offered, Yeah,
(12:17):
I offered, But then everybody used like nut milk in
their coffees and it calls like two bucks. I mean,
you're ordering things that should foam and it doesn't. Phone.
It's fine, Geffen will pay this time as long as
it's not me. When's Brady gonna get here. I wanted
us to all get together without Brady so we can
talk about him. Things are a little weird. It's just
hard to get used to him being around. It's like
(12:38):
Avengers Endgame after the blip and the other half of
humanity reappears. Except this isn't fiction. This is real life.
It's a completely real, unbelievable situation. Brady is not the
only one acting strange. It's Principal fair Weather too. We
need to know where Brady went. We need his memory restored.
The brain is a mysterious organ, but without one, there's
(12:59):
so much we couldn't do. I read a Psychology Today
article on hypnosis. How about I hypnotize him? You know, Geffen,
I'm starting to see why we keep you around, And hey,
pay for these coffees. Okay, attention first are high. Now
with my new mobile p A system, I can make
my announcements from anywhere. Right now, I'm spying on Geffen's
(13:23):
house where Geffen is about to hypnotize Brady to access
his memories. Okay, Uh, should I lie down? Yeah? Lie down,
but but on your side. Like Kate Winslet and Titanic,
you know when he's painting your naked Hey, did you
know that? Actually that's the same director as the Avatar movies.
I can't wait for those to come out, and I
hope he makes like four or five of them. It
(13:44):
should be like Fast and Furious, but with blue people.
All right, should I take my top off? Keep it
on for now? Maybe take it off before we start?
Can I ask you to throw in a few post
hypnotic suggestions? Yeah, I think I could do that. Okay.
I always wanted to play the Bombo, So say something like,
when you wake up, you'll be great at Trombo. Look, breee,
(14:05):
see what I can do. Okay, just relax. I'm gonna
play some background sounds. I want you to close your
eyes because you listen to the sound of my voice.
I'm going to guide you through a series of images.
Just let these images wash over you. Let your mind
take you wherever it wants to go. Now, picture an
(14:28):
hour glass on the bookshelf, the hour glasses full. Just
sand you're now hypnotized. Okay. Now just try to remember
everything that happened five four, three to one, And now
you're awake. We're feeling refreshed and relaxed. WHOA, that was amazing.
Do you remember anything? Nothing? Still to blink what I said?
(14:49):
Try to remember everything you did. I do have another
idea I read about in psychology today. If you can
be put in the exact same environment where you've lost
your memory, relive that moment, often that can trigger a recall. Sure,
I'll try anything. Hey, hit me that trombone. I want
to see if you gave me some trombone powers. Hi, everybody,
(15:19):
I'm back in the stadium for the big Frisbee Game
re enactments. Okay, Brady, here we are back on the
Frisbee field. We've set up everything to be exactly like
it was three weeks ago. But the time you got
hit during the ultimate game. Does this all feel familiar
to you? Totally? Like that crowd cheering, that's the same
way they were cheering at the real game. It ought
(15:40):
to be. We brought back the exact same people and
had to sit in the exact same seats, all four
hundred of them. Anything for you, Brady, Hey, Brady, are
you ready to play some b I'll do the catchen. Hi.
That's right. You came up to me before in the
game and said that, And then I said something like,
and I'll do the throw in as cool Aid would say.
(16:02):
Oh yeah, high five, give hide a high five. Brady,
that's what you did three weeks ago. This is a recreation,
not a re enact. Okay, you're doing great, Brady. Thinks
you guys really pulled out all the stops. You have
no idea. Three weeks ago, the sun was in a
different part of the sky due to the orbit of
the Earth. So what we did is we dug up
(16:24):
the frisbee field and then rotated it, which meant we
also had to tear down and rebuild the bleachers. Yes,
and look up at the sky. See that airplane we
charted a seven thirty seven to fly overhead at just
the same time it did three weeks ago. I mean, wow, Okay,
get on out there. We'll take this all the way
through to the part when you get brutally tackled. All right,
(16:46):
here we go. Frisbee, frisbee, frisby, frisbee. Nice frisbee, frisbee. Yeah, frisbee, frisbee.
Here it comes. You're about to get seriously injured, very
similar in pain from the last time. Yeah. Ah, def
(17:10):
that really hurt. Good. That means it's working so do
you remember anything? Nothing? Keep trying to remember. I'm really trying. Man. Sorry,
I'll let you all down. Hey, no apology necessary. You're
a best friend. We were happy to do it. Okay,
(17:30):
listen up. Can everybody hear me in the bleachers? Everyone
can go home. So just a total bust, just a
complete waste of time and money. Brady, totally let us down.
Your life is now one day shorter with absolutely nothing
to show for it. So just go home. Brady, Thank you?
Owe everyone an apology. Hey, okay, yeah, I think so,
(17:54):
not as bad as last time. Okay, Uh, you sound disappointed.
I feel how I feel. Oh, I see what this
is about. You liked having me out of the way
so you could be in charge of the team. So
now you think your first this boy again? Yeah, I
am first disc board. No, I'm first this board. Coach
Bagley promoted me when you disappeared. Well, now I've reappeared.
(18:15):
It doesn't work that way, I'm afraid it does. Let's
ask Coach Bagley to settle this coach back day. Yeah,
what is it, Coach Backley, who's first dis boy? We
both think we are. You can't both be first this boy. Wait,
that's it. We'll share the position. I'll be this boy
on odd number days and you'll be disapoy on even
number days. That's a great idea. No, no way, it's
(18:37):
just not the way it's done. What they all are
we supposed to do? You'll have to have a frisbee
off one on one and the candy one winner, unless,
of course there's a tie. Oh man, some real squid
games ship going on here. Here we go, two players,
one frisbee. Only one of you comes out of this alive.
(18:58):
Wait uh, quick question? How do you play ultimate frisbee
with just two people? There's no one else on my
team to throw it to exactly. Ultimate is not just
a competition of throwing and catching and running. It also
tests your endurance, your strategy, your loyalty, so much like
sqlid game. Brady, you won the coin toss. Damnit start throwing?
(19:22):
I got it? Ah in your face? H damn it,
dammy I dropped it. No, we have a champion, Brady Brewster,
you are now again our first disc boy. I'm sorry, Hi,
(19:44):
really I am I I'm prepared to be executed by
a hidden singer what metaphorically? Now with Brady back in
his familiar role on the frisbee team. Everyone thought we
were back to normal, everyone that is, except for me. Clara, Hey, Texter,
(20:05):
what are you doing in here all alone? I'm working
on an article, one which Mr Nelson told me not
to do. More of an off ed. Actually, it's titled
why is Principal Fairweather lying about Brady Brewster? There is
no way Mr Nelson will ever print back. I agree,
and that's why I'm publishing it myself on my new
online media platform. It's called for the record, but the
(20:27):
four is the number four. It takes a lot of
money to lot of something like that, Just as Ted Turner,
I have an angel investor who's bankrolling the whole thing. Sorry, Dexter,
it's a secret, but here's a hint. They're the same
person who put up the three billboards? Is a Ted Turner?
It's not Ted Turner because he got a start in
the billboard business. Did you know that? So not such
a crazy It's not Ted Turner. Can I take a look? Yikes?
(20:52):
This is going to make waves more like a type food.
That's right at trav read all about it. Principal fair
Weather is a total liar. Extra extra kid, I'll buy
one of your papers. It's actually not a paper, it's
a substat law called for the record. For the record,
I like that at the four is the number four? WHOA,
(21:18):
hey you, I'll take one of those. You are l addresses,
Principal fair Weather. Let's see that. Principal fair Weather the
return of Brandy Booster. Since he didn't know anything, clearly
knows everything. Is a total liar who wrote this crap? Um?
Tell me? She made me promise. When I find out
who's behind this opinion piece, I'm gonna make their life
(21:40):
a living hell. Metaphorically, I don't believe in the afterlife.
Next time, I'm Brewster h This isn't an LCD sound
system situation where we do a farewell tour and then
come right back each ship. Clara, pant and full from
your Mom's as good a morning as I'm having, you're
having the opposite of bad morning. One. Stuff wants to
get in here. Soon they're turning it all into a
(22:01):
storage space for the cafeteria's extra soup. So you and
I will go around and take off our clothes and
people will just give us money. Where would we even
do that? Wherever married women hang out? Juice bars Kid's
birthday parties out in front of Forever twenty one. Oh no,
I don't need beef. It's bad for the cows. Don't
you dare question my use of modern slang, especially when
it comes to fan fiction. I am in a pretty
(22:22):
bad place and looking to go zero to sixty with
someone like immediately. Every act needs a gimmen. Ours is
taking off all our clothes and flopping our junk around.
Now leave me alone. I need to listen to Adele

Previously on Brewster High. Brewster High star frisbee player has
been horrifically injured in an unexpected tackle. Let me get
this straight. Brady Brewster, the most popular guy at our school,
mysteriously went missing a few nights ago. You know, the
charity ball is coming up and my date Brady's missing.
Everybody in this town bets on frisbee games. With that
(00:22):
Brady kid missing, It's turn our whole betting algorithm in
a blue Of course, I'm not having an affair with
a student. I'm happily married, but I would if I could.
Like the teachers we ranked them, and Brady is remember
one we found something in the basement of the school.
It sounds like a vault. We're gonna have to get
it open before we show you. Do any of you
get easily alarmed for an otherwise sensitive demeanor, you can
(00:45):
handle it dextra. Then take a look at this. Attention
Brewster High. The gang is in the basement seeing what
was hidden in the vault. I cannot believe what I'm
(01:08):
looking at. I think I'm gonna be sick. Hold it together, High,
It's important that you look at this. I don't want
to look, but not that I am. I can't look away.
Should we leave it here or take it with us?
Let's take a picture, but we better leave it here.
I got it. I had a camera in my iPhone.
We all have cameras in our iPhone. Yeah, my iPhone
is also a flashlight. And that's the story of how
(01:32):
we found a human head in the vault in the
basement of our school. I got a hand, Tate Clara,
this is a first rate piece of investigative journalism. You
kept the reader engaged. What was in that vault? Is
she going to tell us or keep us hanging? We'll
run this next issue, and I've already got the headline
Brewster high just got ahead. That really is a headline.
(01:56):
Wait a second, are you sure that heads Brady's Oh
it definitely wasn't Brady's head. That's not the story recovering
you're supposed to be writing about Brady Brewster. Sorry, Mr
Nelson Clara. Journalism is about focus discipline, So forget this
human head business and get back to the stuff your
readers really care about, Like did you win the talent show?
We came in second, I'm seeing there might be a
(02:18):
story there. I want six thousand words I'm coming in
second at the Talent show by Thursday. Six thousand words.
That's going to be hell on my dictation software. Got
anything else you want to run past me? Yeah? Actually,
there's this new piece I'm working on about Britt starts
like this. Brn Marischino has had a difficult year after
(02:38):
her father's shot and killed the City Zoo's beloved Koala.
His bumper sticker business went under, so they were forced
to sell their house to Geffen. As it turns out,
Britain got a part time job as a school janitor
until the school bought a cutting edge janitor robot, the
R one thousand. Then that robot did to Bryn what
robots have been doing to humans for thousands of years
(03:00):
and put her out of a job. I imagine Brin's
conversation with her boss want something like this, Brin, I'm
afraid I have to fire you. Why are one thousand here?
Tells me you've been doing a halfast job. That pile
of junk is a fucking liar. Shean's can't lie. Everybody
knows that. Who am I supposed to believe? Oh man,
(03:22):
I need this job, I need the money. You kill
Koala that's what you get. I didn't kill that Koala.
I'm not my dad. I'm sorry, Britt. We just don't
need you anymore. That robot can't do everything itself. I mean,
who's going to clean the robot? We have another robot
that does that. Now you are two thousand, Come here
(03:43):
on two thousand. There's someone I want you to meet. Hello.
I'm the automated cleaning robot model our two thousand. I'm
like our one thousand better. I give up. The robots
win again. I hope you both enjoyed the little private
hell you've built for yourselves. Goodbye. Well that was a Quinn.
(04:15):
That bell signifies the end of the day. Frisbee practice
will be taking place in the gym. Let's listen in okay,
frisbee team. Ever since we lost Brady, we've lost every game.
Don't get it in your head that there's some sort
of honor in losing. There's no heartwarming lesson that comes
out of it. I am not Ted Lasso. And there's
(04:39):
no sign above my door that says believe now. The
sign about my door says you don't have to be
crazy to work here, but it helps. I don't even
have to read it. It makes me laugh. Now we're
gonna do some frisbee drills, but first in Brady's absence.
I'm making high our new captain and first dispoy, and
he wanted to say a few words. Thanks Coach Bagley. Everybody,
(05:03):
I realize it's been hard with Brady gone. I know
better than anybody he was my best friend. Here's the thing,
We've got to move on. As long as we still
have hope that Brady will come back and take over
us first this boy, then we'll always be stuck in
second gear, just like they saying. Friends. If we want
to start winning again, we have to forget about Brady.
(05:24):
We have to let him go as if he's never
coming back. Goodbye Brady forever. Hi, guys, I'm back Brady Brewster.
After Brady's surprise return, everyone had a lot of questions,
so we ditched class and went through the local coffee shop,
(05:44):
you know the one. It's where all the high school
students hang out. We even invited Geffen. He's not a
member of our friend group yet, but we figured we'd
get him to pay for the drinks. Coffee's on me, everybody,
in honor of Brady's return, thanks and thanks to everybody,
But I'm feeling pretty confused. I bet let's take it
(06:06):
slow and start at the beginning. The last thing I
remember is the Big Ultimate Frisbee game, and I got
totally tackled, and then I walked back into the gym
this afternoon. You don't remember anything from then till now. Nothing.
Why how long was I gone, Brady? You were gone
for three weeks? Oh my god, so much must have changed.
We have flying cars and jet packs yet not yet,
(06:27):
but they are working on it. What about the new
Avatar sequels? Don't worry, they haven't all come out yet.
That's a relief. I've been really curious about what happens
next to those crazy aliens who live on Pandora. They're
going to find all the unobtaining this time. Last time
we all saw you, you were on crutches. I don't
remember any of that, but I feel fine now. You
feel good enough to dance? What are you getting at Britain?
(06:47):
Before you disappeared, you and I were planning to go
to a charity ball together. You were my date. It's
a charity ball. What's that? I'm guessing it's a dance
of some sort and the money goes to charity. Kind
of charity is the name of the girl who's sponsoring
the dance. She's launching a new skin CareLine, so she
has naming rights. And you say, I'm your date. What's
a date? Let's get back to the past three weeks, Brady.
(07:11):
What else don't you remember? That's a stupid question. How
can you remember what he doesn't remember? Can you not
make me feel small right now? I'm sorry, but it's
just my personality. And what about Frisbee? I know him
first disc boy? Actually I'm first disc boy. Now, well,
I assume that's just temporary. We'll see about that. We
need to jog Brady's memory somehow, Britt. How about you
(07:33):
take him back to his house? That thought a trigger
or something? Good? Idea, dexter. Come on, Brady, I'll take
you home to see your parents. If I'm using this
word correctly, it's a date. Attention Brewster High. Now Brian
(07:53):
is returning Brady to his home. In other news, it
appears I no longer even need to be at school
to make p A announcements. I can just see whatever
I want, Okay, Brit Before we go in my house,
I just want to warn you about my parents. They
get obsessed over in tear your decorating. All parents are eccentric.
Don't worry about it. Brady, Is that you and his
(08:19):
friend Brent Hi? Oh hey, old son of a gun. Yeah,
we thought we lost you. Well here I am just
disappeared entirely for three weeks with absolutely no memory of
what happened. Well, whatever the case, it's good to have
you back. It sure is, Brady. We totally hadn't forgotten
about you. Please come on in. This is your home too,
(08:39):
after all. Get any here, kid house. First, take a
look around the living room. Do you notice anything different?
I don't know. Those coffee table books right there? What
about them? Are they different coffee table books and the
ones that were there three weeks ago? Exactly? You're the
first person to see the room with the new car
(09:00):
table books. They're very nice. Moment. Yeah, it really fits
well in the place. Mr Brewster. Who are you again?
Maskino Brady's friend? Oh you're that girl whose dad killed
the Koala. You guys are total prias. Okay, well, if
you don't mind, Mom and dad. I'm pretty exhausted from
whatever happened that I don't remember, so I'm just going
to go up to my room and lie down. Oh
(09:22):
what is it? That might not be such a good idea.
Did you empty out my room already? No, it's exactly
the same. We're just airben being it at the moment. Well, jeez,
kick them out. Oh no, no, no, no, it's fine.
They're gonna be got in like thirty or forty minutes.
We're only running it by the hour. It's really just
for people to have sex. You know, people pay atually
have sex in an authentic teenager's bedroom. Mainly married people
(09:44):
having affairs, you know, people in the neighborhood, so not strangers.
We're not doing it for the money. I mean, the
money is nice, but we're doing it to contribute a
little joy to the world, you know, pay it forward.
So if you just want to come back in an
hour or so, fine, just make sure to put on
clean sheets. Come on, Brandon, Well did it jog your memory? Nothing?
(10:07):
Still a black hole? So do we have to pay
your parents to have sex in your bedroom? Now? Attention
Brewster High. If anyone needs to talk to Principal Fairweather,
she is currently in her office. This means you, Clara,
Clara always happening to catch up with the school star
reporter here to gather news. Actually, I'm here to deliver news.
(10:30):
Brady Brewster is back. M Sorry I fought when I'm shocked.
What happened? No one knows. Brady has no memory, and
then he just walked into the gym during frisbee practice
this afternoon like nothing happened. Hey, I didn't tell you that.
How would you know? Well, all's well, that ends well.
(10:51):
I guess that wraps up that newspaper article you've been
working on. I guess so. And yet I have this
feeling there's some exciting major developments yet to come, events
that will be both surprising and totally satisfying. I think
I better pay a visit to my journalism teacher, Mr
Nelson for some of his wise objectivity. Mr Nelson, I
(11:14):
need an extension on the deadline for my article. What
about Brady Brewster's disappearance? Yes, pretty much the only thing
I've been talking to you about for weeks, that one.
But Brady's back Now. There's no story. The story is
about the mysterious way he disappeared, in the lack of
an explanation of where he's been, No one cares about
that anymore. Clara, it's all news. People have moved on.
(11:35):
But Mr Nelson, I'm eight six in the story. Get
back to some real reporting, ten thousand words on tree
Bark for the next issue. But I was just with
Principal fair Weather, and she says, the principal fair Weather
is the one who killed the story. This comes straight
from the top. Now go get me that tree Bark
story before someone else scoops you. But here's how I
start your tree Bark article. Clara left the school newspaper
(11:56):
office knowing that her teacher was right. Our next stop
was a coffee shop where her and her friends hang out.
She was meeting Bryn geffn Dexter and Hide, but Geffen
was in one of his moods. You guys, this time,
I am not paying for anyone else's coffees. Last time
was a special occasion. Okay, that's fine. You offered, Yeah,
(12:17):
I offered, But then everybody used like nut milk in
their coffees and it calls like two bucks. I mean,
you're ordering things that should foam and it doesn't. Phone.
It's fine, Geffen will pay this time as long as
it's not me. When's Brady gonna get here. I wanted
us to all get together without Brady so we can
talk about him. Things are a little weird. It's just
hard to get used to him being around. It's like
(12:38):
Avengers Endgame after the blip and the other half of
humanity reappears. Except this isn't fiction. This is real life.
It's a completely real, unbelievable situation. Brady is not the
only one acting strange. It's Principal fair Weather too. We
need to know where Brady went. We need his memory restored.
The brain is a mysterious organ, but without one, there's
(12:59):
so much we couldn't do. I read a Psychology Today
article on hypnosis. How about I hypnotize him? You know, Geffen,
I'm starting to see why we keep you around, And hey,
pay for these coffees. Okay, attention first are high. Now
with my new mobile p A system, I can make
my announcements from anywhere. Right now, I'm spying on Geffen's
(13:23):
house where Geffen is about to hypnotize Brady to access
his memories. Okay, Uh, should I lie down? Yeah? Lie down,
but but on your side. Like Kate Winslet and Titanic,
you know when he's painting your naked Hey, did you
know that? Actually that's the same director as the Avatar movies.
I can't wait for those to come out, and I
hope he makes like four or five of them. It
(13:44):
should be like Fast and Furious, but with blue people.
All right, should I take my top off? Keep it
on for now? Maybe take it off before we start?
Can I ask you to throw in a few post
hypnotic suggestions? Yeah, I think I could do that. Okay.
I always wanted to play the Bombo, So say something like,
when you wake up, you'll be great at Trombo. Look, breee,
(14:05):
see what I can do. Okay, just relax. I'm gonna
play some background sounds. I want you to close your
eyes because you listen to the sound of my voice.
I'm going to guide you through a series of images.
Just let these images wash over you. Let your mind
take you wherever it wants to go. Now, picture an
(14:28):
hour glass on the bookshelf, the hour glasses full. Just
sand you're now hypnotized. Okay. Now just try to remember
everything that happened five four, three to one, And now
you're awake. We're feeling refreshed and relaxed. WHOA, that was amazing.
Do you remember anything? Nothing? Still to blink what I said?
(14:49):
Try to remember everything you did. I do have another
idea I read about in psychology today. If you can
be put in the exact same environment where you've lost
your memory, relive that moment, often that can trigger a recall. Sure,
I'll try anything. Hey, hit me that trombone. I want
to see if you gave me some trombone powers. Hi, everybody,
(15:19):
I'm back in the stadium for the big Frisbee Game
re enactments. Okay, Brady, here we are back on the
Frisbee field. We've set up everything to be exactly like
it was three weeks ago. But the time you got
hit during the ultimate game. Does this all feel familiar
to you? Totally? Like that crowd cheering, that's the same
way they were cheering at the real game. It ought
(15:40):
to be. We brought back the exact same people and
had to sit in the exact same seats, all four
hundred of them. Anything for you, Brady, Hey, Brady, are
you ready to play some b I'll do the catchen. Hi.
That's right. You came up to me before in the
game and said that, And then I said something like,
and I'll do the throw in as cool Aid would say.
(16:02):
Oh yeah, high five, give hide a high five. Brady,
that's what you did three weeks ago. This is a recreation,
not a re enact. Okay, you're doing great, Brady. Thinks
you guys really pulled out all the stops. You have
no idea. Three weeks ago, the sun was in a
different part of the sky due to the orbit of
the Earth. So what we did is we dug up
(16:24):
the frisbee field and then rotated it, which meant we
also had to tear down and rebuild the bleachers. Yes,
and look up at the sky. See that airplane we
charted a seven thirty seven to fly overhead at just
the same time it did three weeks ago. I mean, wow, Okay,
get on out there. We'll take this all the way
through to the part when you get brutally tackled. All right,
(16:46):
here we go. Frisbee, frisbee, frisby, frisbee. Nice frisbee, frisbee. Yeah, frisbee, frisbee.
Here it comes. You're about to get seriously injured, very
similar in pain from the last time. Yeah. Ah, def
(17:10):
that really hurt. Good. That means it's working so do
you remember anything? Nothing? Keep trying to remember. I'm really trying. Man. Sorry,
I'll let you all down. Hey, no apology necessary. You're
a best friend. We were happy to do it. Okay,
(17:30):
listen up. Can everybody hear me in the bleachers? Everyone
can go home. So just a total bust, just a
complete waste of time and money. Brady, totally let us down.
Your life is now one day shorter with absolutely nothing
to show for it. So just go home. Brady, Thank you?
Owe everyone an apology. Hey, okay, yeah, I think so,
(17:54):
not as bad as last time. Okay, Uh, you sound disappointed.
I feel how I feel. Oh, I see what this
is about. You liked having me out of the way
so you could be in charge of the team. So
now you think your first this boy again? Yeah, I
am first disc board. No, I'm first this board. Coach
Bagley promoted me when you disappeared. Well, now I've reappeared.
(18:15):
It doesn't work that way, I'm afraid it does. Let's
ask Coach Bagley to settle this coach back day. Yeah,
what is it, Coach Backley, who's first dis boy? We
both think we are. You can't both be first this boy. Wait,
that's it. We'll share the position. I'll be this boy
on odd number days and you'll be disapoy on even
number days. That's a great idea. No, no way, it's
(18:37):
just not the way it's done. What they all are
we supposed to do? You'll have to have a frisbee
off one on one and the candy one winner, unless,
of course there's a tie. Oh man, some real squid
games ship going on here. Here we go, two players,
one frisbee. Only one of you comes out of this alive.
(18:58):
Wait uh, quick question? How do you play ultimate frisbee
with just two people? There's no one else on my
team to throw it to exactly. Ultimate is not just
a competition of throwing and catching and running. It also
tests your endurance, your strategy, your loyalty, so much like
sqlid game. Brady, you won the coin toss. Damnit start throwing?
(19:22):
I got it? Ah in your face? H damn it,
dammy I dropped it. No, we have a champion, Brady Brewster,
you are now again our first disc boy. I'm sorry, Hi,
(19:44):
really I am I I'm prepared to be executed by
a hidden singer what metaphorically? Now with Brady back in
his familiar role on the frisbee team. Everyone thought we
were back to normal, everyone that is, except for me. Clara, Hey, Texter,
(20:05):
what are you doing in here all alone? I'm working
on an article, one which Mr Nelson told me not
to do. More of an off ed. Actually, it's titled
why is Principal Fairweather lying about Brady Brewster? There is
no way Mr Nelson will ever print back. I agree,
and that's why I'm publishing it myself on my new
online media platform. It's called for the record, but the
(20:27):
four is the number four. It takes a lot of
money to lot of something like that, Just as Ted Turner,
I have an angel investor who's bankrolling the whole thing. Sorry, Dexter,
it's a secret, but here's a hint. They're the same
person who put up the three billboards? Is a Ted Turner?
It's not Ted Turner because he got a start in
the billboard business. Did you know that? So not such
a crazy It's not Ted Turner. Can I take a look? Yikes?
(20:52):
This is going to make waves more like a type food.
That's right at trav read all about it. Principal fair
Weather is a total liar. Extra extra kid, I'll buy
one of your papers. It's actually not a paper, it's
a substat law called for the record. For the record,
I like that at the four is the number four? WHOA,
(21:18):
hey you, I'll take one of those. You are l addresses,
Principal fair Weather. Let's see that. Principal fair Weather the
return of Brandy Booster. Since he didn't know anything, clearly
knows everything. Is a total liar who wrote this crap? Um?
Tell me? She made me promise. When I find out
who's behind this opinion piece, I'm gonna make their life
(21:40):
a living hell. Metaphorically, I don't believe in the afterlife.
Next time, I'm Brewster h This isn't an LCD sound
system situation where we do a farewell tour and then
come right back each ship. Clara, pant and full from
your Mom's as good a morning as I'm having, you're
having the opposite of bad morning. One. Stuff wants to
get in here. Soon they're turning it all into a
(22:01):
storage space for the cafeteria's extra soup. So you and
I will go around and take off our clothes and
people will just give us money. Where would we even
do that? Wherever married women hang out? Juice bars Kid's
birthday parties out in front of Forever twenty one. Oh no,
I don't need beef. It's bad for the cows. Don't
you dare question my use of modern slang, especially when
it comes to fan fiction. I am in a pretty
(22:22):
bad place and looking to go zero to sixty with
someone like immediately. Every act needs a gimmen. Ours is
taking off all our clothes and flopping our junk around.
Now leave me alone. I need to listen to Adele
and cry. This episode of Brewster High was written and
