Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Brewster High. Are you ready to commit to
go into a charity ball with me? Yes, I'll do
it with one caveat no dancing. Have you discovered the
identity of the guy funding your blog? No, but I
think people have been betting on the games and that
he's been fixing them. I want you to place a
bet on the upcoming Ultimate Frisbee Championship game. We have
(00:22):
to unmask this guy. Tell him he has to meet
you at the hair salon. I finally figured out where
I disappeared to for three weeks. I was on a UFO.
That's right, I was abducted by aliens. Please sit down,
(00:50):
Coach Pangley. I'm stressed out about everyone gambling on our
frisbee games. Half the town is mad at me if
we lose, and the other half is mad ever we win.
Are you rigging the games? And did you set it
up for Brady to get injured? Chance always plays a
pardon gambling. Maybe it wasn't chance. Maybe someone tackled Brady
on purpose. What are you saying, bad Lee? Maybe it
wasn't chance. Maybe someone tackled Brady on purpose, and you're
(01:12):
accusing me of having something to do with it not
in so many words, how many words would feel accurate
to you? More like tan oral Leon. Now, with Brady
back in the game, I placed a large wager myself
on this weekend's game. All I ask is that you
don't interfere with it and screw it up for me.
When you wake up Sunday morning, you'll be a very
(01:33):
rich man. Well, Sundays, I normally sleep till noon. When
you wake up Sunday afternoon, you'll be a very rich man. Meanwhile,
at Brewster High, things were pretty much back to normal.
Or were they. Clara was on her way to class
when she got pulled into a stairwell by a new freshman.
He said he had a spook for me. Clara, Yes,
(01:55):
are you talking to yourself? Oh? I'm dictating my article
into my phone. That's how it'll start, and notes i'd
get into it faster. The first paragraph should give us
the headline and introduce some sort of thesis to it. Well,
what's the thesis? Then? Principal Fairweather is planning the franchise
Brewster High. That's not illegal, Clara, this is a public school.
(02:16):
She's planning to make money off of this, So that's
the whole idea behind having a franchise. My uncle. He
is a Jersey mix. He does really well, and it's
not even in New Jersey. You're supposed to make money.
But she's going to make more than she should. More
than the customary franchise fee. She's gonna make. That's a
full more than Oh shit, thanks for the tip, but
(02:42):
there's no newspaper anymore. Remember then put it on your
substack blog, my substack blog. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm
going to do. Not get out of here. I need
to make a private phone call before class starts. Good luck, Clara,
Good luck to you too, grow what get in the
class on times? Just get out of here. Okay, this
(03:08):
is Clara. I can't meet you at the bank today.
I'm stuck at work. I'm a mustache stylist at Loggerhead's
hair salon. Just meet me there instead. I made an
appointment for you. Attention Brewster High Or. At this point,
pretty much anyone in Brewster Bay rumor has it that
coach bag lead dollars on his team for this weekend's
Frisbee championship. I wonder what he'd do with all that
(03:30):
money if he wins. Maybe that's related to what he's
doing at this very moment at the jewelry store. Yes, hello,
I'm interested in these diamond earrings. Are they real diamonds? Well,
of course the real Well we heard Brewster High jewelers
only sell the best quality blood diamonds. Are they for
any one special? Just my wife? Would you mind trying
(03:52):
them on so I can see what they look like?
My ears aren't pierced? Then would you mind pierson him?
I guess let me just know the other one. Okay,
let me just put these on. Aw we do sure
look pretty? Why don't you clean your ear juice off
(04:12):
of those and wrap them up? Okay? When I picked
them up? You guys open Monday. Yes, a lot of
places are on open Monday. I don't understand. Why are
you closed on him? Nobody wants to working. Yeah, I know.
It's like people are calling for like four day weeks.
I might grow up their attention. Brewister High, we're now
selling at time on the morning announcements used to call
it Brewster High to get an extra pre announcement. Later
(04:37):
that afternoon, I arranged a meeting with Principal fair Weather
and Otis Nelson. Otis Nelson used to be my journalism teacher,
that is until Principal fair Weather shut the newspaper down
and we all shipped fair Weather and Otis Nelson together.
And now they're a romantic couple, a couple that's about
to be threatened by me, Clara sitting here across from
both of them in Principal fair Weather's office, And that's
(04:59):
exactly how I'll start my article in the school newspaper.
What do you think, Principal Fairweather? Mr? Nelson? But there
is no school newspaper, Remember I shut it down. Yes,
but if you shut it down, you can reopen it.
Why would I do that? How about for your boyfriend?
Oh well, there's a lot of things I'd reopen for
Otis Nelson, but the newspaper isn't one of them. Yeah, Claire,
you just you gotta let it go. If you won't
(05:20):
do it for him, do it for yourself. What do
you mean? Take a look at this. It's the brochure
for franchising the school. So what Yeah, that's completely legal, Clara,
since we're a charter school. But is it legal to
take a franchise feed? Yes? I mean, but that's fraud.
That's ten percent higher than the customary fee. Okay, you
(05:42):
got me. What do you want? I want the newspaper
back in operation with Otis Nelson as its editor. Ten speech,
I mean, you won't tell anyone about my ten percent
mark up. I won't tell anyone. I walked out of
that office ecstatic at a platform again in print and
print will never go out of style? Is exactly what
(06:03):
all right? In the end of part one of my
ongoing series on Brewister High, see you Claria's gone. You
can be honest with me? Is that true? How could
that be? That doesn't sound like the principal fair Weather
I fell in love with two days ago. Oh, I
have big ideas for franchising Brewster High. Everyone else in
the world has gotten rich teaching high school. Now it's
(06:24):
my turn. I put a big bet on this weekend's game.
I'm going to use my winnings to hire my own
brand manager. Your own brand manager. Can you imagine? Can
you imagine? I can imagine that? Oh this is why
are you making those makeout sounds? I can do it
with you. Yes, I'm right here. Oh God, yeah, attention
(06:51):
Brewster High. This is Brady Brewster, Charlie the usual p
a announcer is having his teeth whitened. So here's the announcement.
Brand Maraschino is meeting Clara at Loggerhead Salon. They're waiting
for Clara's anonymous investors so they can unmask him or
should I say, mustache him Loggerhead Salon. Please hold Loggerhead Salon.
(07:15):
Please hold Blaggerhead Salon. Can you please hold? Excuse me,
I don't mean to interrupt. Sorry, I was just practicing
my phone etiquette. I'm Brandon mars Kino. I'm here to
see Clara, a mustache stylist. But you don't have a mustache,
not yet, but check me out in an hour. Ran
over here, Hi, Clara? Nice set up? Okay? Where do
you want me to sit over there and just act
(07:37):
like you work here? I'll be here at my station.
When my investor comes in, he'll sit right here. And
then when I give you the signal, you know what
to do, right, Yeah, Clara, you got a client. I'll
be right there. Is this the bucket of naire? Yep?
Two gallons of hair remover Clara. I said his appointments
for five o'clock. Get off my dick. That's him, Get ready.
(08:00):
He does look like Ted Lasso, I can't tell if
that turns me on or not. Okay, send him over. Hello, Clara,
I'm here to get my mustache styled. Yes, sits it
and I can help you with that. Okay, here's the money,
dollars wax or no wax, sir, let's split the difference,
(08:21):
just wax the left side. Got It's half a snop
mop coming up. Now tell me what you want me
to do. I'll text you the address. You bring it
there and say you want to place the entire amount
against Brewster High? Got it? What makes you so sure
Brewster High will lose? Are you rigging games? Because if so,
that's against the law. There's nothing illegal going on here
(08:43):
except gambling on high school sports. Okay, now brand sign signel?
What ah? What's in the bucket? Nare hair remover? Right now?
Your mustache is dissolving and there's nothing you can do
to stop it. Look, it's worthy, all right, Ted Lasso.
(09:03):
Now let's see who you really are. Mrs Bagley our
home nex teacher, that's right, and Coach Bagley's wife. Why why? Everything?
It's pretty straightforward. My husband, Coach Bagley, is the worst
gambler ever. He loses every bet he makes, and he
placed a bet that Brewster High would win. So I
(09:26):
should bet the opposite, and with these odds, I'll make
your killing. That's your system. Just do the opposite of
whatever your husband does. Why not just please to bet yourself?
Why do you need me to do it? Can you
imagine the scandal if people found out that coach Bagley's
wife was betting against her husband's team. Yeah that adds up.
All right, Good luck with your bet and your marriage.
(09:47):
What about you girls? What do you guys have going on?
Britain and I are getting ready for tomorrow night's charity ball.
Oh you both have dates. My date will be my
journalistic instincts. Well, my date will be an actual human man.
Brady Brewster. Whoa, he's a good catch. Yeah, I'm not
so sure about that. Brady doesn't like dancing. He says
(10:08):
he looks too lethargic. Honestly, maybe he isn't right for me. Oh, Bryan,
when it comes to relationships, it doesn't matter if they
can dance as long as they can Buck like, really, Buck,
you never mentioned that in helmec One more piece of advice.
You're in a hair salon, get your damn hair Day girls.
(10:30):
Finding out the Mrs Bagley was my secret investor didn't
help my investigation. The next night, before the ball started,
Brin brought the two alien crystals to the science lab
to test them out. Hy'd met her there to help.
This is the crystal I took from Brady's bedroom, the
one Brady says he found in his pocket after his
alien induction, exactly. And this crystal is the one I
(10:52):
got from the tennis court, the last place anyone saw Brady. Exactly. Well,
let's put them onto the analyzer, analyzing, analyzing. Well, they're
identical to each other, the same identical composition. What exactly
are they made of? Let's see carbon, boron, silica, calcium brand.
(11:18):
These crystals didn't come from space. I think they came
from down here on Earth. Can you be more specific?
According to these percentages? Oh my god, these crystals they're
from bed bath and beyond, the one right here in
Brewster Bay, the one that's having a sale and soda
streams for one week only. That night, the gym had
(11:49):
been transformed. It was an elegant ballroom, and all of
Brewster High had shown up for the charity ball. It
started like so many balls before it with a speech.
Here he's going to Hi everybody, I'm Charity and welcome
to my ball, which is also the launch of my
new skincare line. It's called Snouts because you put in
(12:11):
your nose and it's made from ground o pig snouts,
so double me. Free samples are on the table in
the back, by the area where the people who feel
too awkward to dancer hiding um hit it DJ. One
of those awkward non dancers was Brady Brewster. Brady agreed
to come to the ball with Bryn, but only on
the condition that he not dance. Bryn accepted those terms,
(12:34):
but deep down she thought she could bring it out
of him, like in some sort of romantic comedy. Bryn
walked over to Brady to try and talk to him
into it. No, I didn't, you will, Bryn, trust me.
Anytime I dictate something into my article, it immediately happens
in real life. Okay, then I'll head over to the
non dancer section. Let's hope I can get Brady on
his feet. Hi, I was just getting ready to try
(12:58):
some of this nose moist driiser. It's called snouts, Or
you were avoiding dancing with me. It's true, but I
warned you that's who I am. I gotta take the
bad with the good. I'll tell you what, I'm going
to go dance when a special song comes on, I'll
beckon you over. You'll come join me and you'll dance
your heart out. Or I stand here for the rest
(13:19):
of the night, and when anyone tries to get me
to dance, I pretend I'm on my phone. I won't
let you get away with that. Brady, I'll see you
later on the dance floor. Brady, Hid, what are you
doing in the awkward non dancer section looking for you?
Actually remember your UFO abduction? Well? I don't actually remember
it because they wiped my brain. Well, I'm starting to
(13:40):
think that maybe it didn't happen. What really why? I've
been going over and over all the details in my head,
and some things just aren't adding up, Like what I
guess the main thing that's like, there's no such thing
as a UFO, right, Yeah, that's a solid reason. And
if there was a UFO, don't you think it would
have shown up on a radar or sat to light
(14:00):
or a camera phone or something. I mean, I can't
even steal someone's Amazon packages without some ring cameras somewhere
video in me. Well, maybe it was camouflage or something.
Camouflage is what like a giant bird or a rainbow
or a cloud like a note man, that Kiki Palmer
is a powerhouse. Maybe you've chosen to believe that it
was an alien abduction because your brain is blocking the truth.
(14:21):
Why would it do that? You see, the brain is
capable of much more than you or I could even imagine.
Sometimes the real answer is the simplest one. I was
taken by a UFO and experimented on for three weeks.
Brady coming over, It's time to dance, man. Brain has
been trying to get me on the dance floor all night.
(14:41):
Go on, give her a dance man. I would, but
I have to plug my phone in. Batteries low, So
all right, see you around, Brady Brewster. Okay, now where
is a power outlet over there? Just get my cable out.
And that's strange out. It seems kind of worn and loose.
Is wires won't go in whatever. I'll just jam this thing.
(15:07):
Please help me. Look at Brave, he's dancing. You're the
wild there. I'm controllably in rhythm though, so much energy.
Does you got a shot out the wh This dance
(15:27):
is amazing. I gotta make a phone call to the phone. Chuck, Chuck,
it's Marvin, your cousin, Marvin Barry. You know that new
dance you're looking for? Well, listen to this. My muscles
are twitching, Uncle Jolly, they can stop. Look, everybody, lets dancing,
(15:50):
See Brady, all you needed was a little inspiration. Please
help me. I'll help you dance sure. Randy's taking Brady
to the don't have the dance bolds. Now everyone is
stepping back and forming the circle around Brandon Brady to
watch them dance because they're so goold. That was really something.
(16:12):
Let's hear it for Brady Brewster and his date brand
and the judges have made their decision. First prize for
tonight's dance contest goes to Brady and Britt. There was
a dance contest. Enjoy the rest of the dance and
good luck with the big Frisbee game tomorrow. Brady and
(16:33):
Brett were a couple again, and the dance was a success. Sadly, however,
Brady's phone never was recharged. Everyone's filtered into the night
air than for coming guys. Thank you anything, Thank you
thanks by Brady. Better go home and get to bed.
(16:54):
You need your strength for tomorrow's game, you too hide.
A team is only as strong as its weakest player,
and that's you, right, Coach Bagley? All right, brother, go home,
get some sleep. There's a lot of riding on tomorrow's game,
more than you know. Geez. Always so much pressure from
your adults. That's life. It's time he started learning how
to deal with it. And Brady trying not to get
abducted again. Okay, the only thing disappearing will be my
(17:15):
belief in uf BOS. WHOA, what's that? Those lights from
above so bright? Whatever it is, it's getting closer, Burt,
or a rainbow or a helicopter. Oh that's no helicopter.
That's ready right for us. Oh. I got a bad
(17:36):
feeling about this, Brady. Why I can't move? I'm like
a deer in the headlights. It's are you a bro?
They came back for me? Everyone always wants more, Brady Brewster.
The UFO landed in the school parking lot right in
front of Brady. A door opened and Brady walked into
(17:58):
it as if he was under mind control. Come on, Clara,
stop recording, and Ron, it's flying away and it's Cop
Brady there. Those are only chance to win the game tomorrow.
Somebody called the Air Force. Hello air Force. Yeah, it's
coach Bagley, No, the other coach Bagley. Yeah, Well we
(18:21):
have an emergency. We just lost our star player. Principle
coming through. Watch it, principle coming through. What's going on here,
Principal fair Weather? Brady's gone? It was not again? What
is it with this kid? Next time on Brewster High,
keep your eyes open. That UFO could be anywhere. We'll
(18:43):
get there faster if we write piggyback. Yeah, that's me
on the pilot, Captain Jerry Mackenzie. The best that we
can hope for is to not humiliate ourselves. Oh I
love saying anything John Cusacks hilarious. The only thing I
care about is selling ice cream. Time for another piggyback? Right,
Hold on tight, Captain Jerry Mackenzie. But you can call
me Jerry the mustache of the work. The rest of
(19:05):
it is just added to Hello kids, I'm Captain Jerry
