Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:19]What do you guys want?

[00:00:37]Why did you see?

[00:01:09]Good morning.

[00:01:11]>> It's Saturday, but what have you been doing? Going to school?

[00:01:15]>> Yeah. You mean going to prison?

[00:01:18]>> Why do you say that? You know you like it.

[00:01:21]>> No, I don't like it.

[00:01:22]>> You do. Nobody really likes school that much, right? I mean, if you like school that much, it would mean that you don't like home, right? So, you like home better than school, which is a good thing because that means you have a good home, right?

[00:01:35]>> Mhm.

[00:01:37]>> So, give it up now for the losers.

[00:01:42]Give it up now for me.

[00:01:47]And may all the uncrowned rulers rest in peace.

[00:01:56]>> Oh yeah.

[00:01:57]>> Kill the ghost within your soul. Give it all you got. Let go. Time's up to say goodbye. Take the fall and dry your ride. Free the child you used to be. Let your heart beat honestly. Time to learn how to forgive. Take what's gone and learn to live.

[00:02:17]Luke and I, we love watching movies together.

[00:02:20]>> What movie did we watch the other day yesterday?

[00:02:23]>> Truman show. What did you like about that movie?

[00:02:27]>> In the start of the show when he said good morning and good night.

[00:02:32]>> Yeah, >> we all forgot about that.

[00:02:34]>> Good morning. Oh, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

[00:02:40]And then when he was on the boat and he reached the wall, >> he escaped. We're about to >> and the it's like the director thought he was going to stay.

[00:02:51]>> We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented. It's as simple as that.

[00:02:56]>> Yep. They thought that fear would get the best of him, but fear didn't get the best of him. He o he overcome fear.

[00:03:03]>> Mhm.

[00:03:04]>> So he could be a true man.

[00:03:06]>> Mhm.

[00:03:07]>> Right.

[00:03:07]>> Mhm. And then ever since the show, you've been thinking about how people kind of live in a prison.

[00:03:16]>> I mean, that's what you said. You said school's like a prison.

[00:03:20]>> Yeah.

[00:03:20]>> But not really. I know you like it.

[00:03:22]>> You know, I don't like it.

[00:03:26]>> M. Yeah.

[00:03:27]>> Okay. Well, that's an improvement, right?

[00:03:30]>> It's a big improvement. That makes me so happy. H >> one day you'll be out of school >> and you'll miss it so much.

[00:18:58]>> I love you.

[00:19:02]>> I'll always show support. I'll open your door.

[00:19:07]>> I'll make time for you.

[00:19:14]>> Do you remember when you were little?

[00:19:16]Because when we were young, we had to face a lot of our fears. Every day you there's something new, right? Nearly every day. And Leon, were you scared when you first went to your school? A little bit. Yeah. And I think as an adult, when you grow up, a lot of times we get stuck doing the same things over and over again. Kind of like Truman when he was stuck in that sea fake island.

[00:19:41]>> Wait, but what's the >> fake world? like they do every morning.

[00:19:45]>> Routine. Like a routine.

[00:19:46]>> A routine. Yeah. You get stuck in the routine. And it's because people and our brains, we want certainty, but our hearts want play and fun and adventure and curiosity. So having a balance between pushing yourself a little bit, getting out of your comfort zone, maybe out of your routine sometimes, you can discover a whole another world. So, I want to encourage you guys, go get out of your routine or get out of your comfort zone. Face a fear. Even if it's something so little as going to a new coffee shop, maybe inviting a friend to do something that you've never invited out to or something you've never done before, right? And that way you'll get out of the prison, >> okay, Laya? of your own mental box because no matter where you are in the world, wherever you live, it can become a prison. Right, Leon? Is your school like a prison?

[00:20:48]See, even this amazing school can be like a prison. Look, is your school like a prison?

[00:20:52]>> Yeah.

[00:20:53]>> Leon, is your house like a prison?

[00:20:56]>> No, you're free.

[00:20:59]Yay.

[00:21:02]See, we're free.

[00:21:05]Freedom.

[00:21:13]>> I'll always make you laugh. I'll always check your math. I'll always look out for you.

[00:21:23]I'm always going to take the heat. I'm always going to save your seat. I'm always going to keep it real with
