finally good luck to miss yen Sunni and
the junior girls volleyball team gearing
up to take on Riverside Oh girls and
remember the Park View athletic program
motto it doesn't count we weren't ready
so I get mad I've arranged for one of
our brightest parts to show you around
well I'd like you to meet our secretary
MS Pratt
power behind the throne Jim Kilroy Jim's
gonna be spending a few days with us he
writes for the local paper he's
researching an article on the students
why have they done something interesting
well you see our readers want to know
what today's kids are like so I'll be
taking the pulse of a generation you
know hanging out rapping with the kids
please rapping with the kids
so the generation he really said that
yeah that's a lot of pulses I mean
checking them all would take a while
right so of course he's gonna check like
two and then and then say the rest are
all the same yeah we're gonna be like
lumped up with that Stephie max Jeff
Devin's I'm so insulted I can't speak of
course if he picks the right pulses yeah
maybe a couple of the more irregular
ones today's youth could be a lot more
interesting to mr. Kilroy expects so
this guy's gonna find out some things
she doesn't quite understand he's gonna
blow it way out of proportion and he's
going to be shocked no matter what so we
might as well give him something to be
shocked about so what do you think this
is really good is it for the next few
Bolton well it was going to be but with
that reporter in this school I was
thinking maybe I could get an article in
the real paper
I'd be excellent The awkward years by
Becca Fisher yeah except if I send a
note to the Metro standard saying I'm
Becca Fisher and I'm 14 they'd probably
tell me to get real but if I give it to
the reporter guy directly who knows oh
there is yeah Stephie come on
see they could hand it out at the end of
the year it's very exciting yeah
similar to trophies only more we have
more classrooms
oh hey step you got a sec mr. Petrowski
asked me to pass on a message he was
wondering uh mr. Kilroy here would like
to spend noon hour with the A+ Club 8
plus Club who started an a-plus Club why
didn't they ask me it was Hillary Clark
so do you want the real story just what
the principal's representative tells yet
I'll take you to the science room now
today we're field testing some new chalk
great lunch time meet me here
go ahead ask them Oh No maybe I should
just write a letter No thank God mr.
Kilroy hi hi um I'm Becca Fisher and I'm
a writer and I was wondering if maybe
your paper might consider me doing a
youth column oh well um what I suggest
you do is you sit down you write two or
three sample columns and then
as you know Becca the path of a
journalist is a rocky one I mean it
takes literally years of in the field
training to earn the kind of seasoned
credentials that today's readers demand
I'll pass this on to my editor no
promises but keep your fingers crossed
yeah okay thanks keep it across
let's do it alright you just run up to
me from down the hall okay okay you got
it I've got it okay
listen I talk I am so sorry I'm late man
but mr. tux
Arkel down on us in geography today and
kept this late so I just what did you
just say somebody ogle T oh um he was
just going on and on and on about all
these stupid facts like like he wouldn't
shut up
especially if someone pulled a Waldo
Faldo on for hours Hey
okay the resident rebel no no uh Jim
Kilroy me Zed he's our student council
president uh president said Jim Kilroy
he works for the Metro standard they
sent one of their top investigative
reporters to get the real scoop on
generations ed I guess you could say
most of us sees it as a role model I
mean everyone wants to be like Zed oh
yeah you know even I want to be like
said yeah I guess you can say it's kind
of a higher mode of consciousness yes
yeah like achieving that pure state of
said Wow
it's a pleasure to meet you said no
judges hands
serious faux pas man I mean that is a
sign of disrespect a serious
all right what should we tell Kilroy
what our favorite snack food is anything
covered in orange cheese powder croutons
nut
we don't snap because we want to show
unity with people with cholesterol
problems do you guys have to do this I
mean he seems okay and he is doing me a
favor
Becca you don't have to have anything to
do with us all right so what do we do
that just bugs our parents we take part
on film projectors no wait wait wait I
do that come on you guys he's a reporter
okay he's gonna see right through this
look we need something to tease him a
little I mean something we can't even
reveal to a cool adult like him like I
don't know a secret hand she may be like
I got it I got it okay how about this
what if we jump up every time we hear a
certain word so every time someone says
this
okay you see I was elected because I
appeal to certain Cults at school uh you
mean crw no Cults like The Druids they
worship trees yeah like uh zed zed
promised to build them a circle of giant
Stones you guys are pulling my leg right
uh Mr killroy you you'd better not
insult a druid yeah I hear they have
some pretty strange
rituals don't say I didn't warn you no
the whole internet thing has been pretty
well screeched to death I mean AD don't
think it's totally Zach but kids know
it's pretty Mr
Belding discuss the implications of
Hawkings contention that the SpaceTime
continu may be finite but lacking
boundaries this is a question for which
grade seventh pretty basic really but uh
they have to start
somewhere do you like rock and roll are
you kidding rock music I don't think so
so uh what do you listen to instead
industrial mostly ah okay so you mean
technal no I mean like table saws power
drills that sort of thing
right okay it seems to me that that your
slang is based on television situation
comedy well where do you think we
learned how to talk oh okay so it's sort
of like this electronic babysitter
mother tongue and and it's stayed with
you right
I mean it's not like we can avoid it I
mean all our parents have cable plus
everyone on TV's just so
happy you see I see yes yes these shows
reflect a bland yet idealized world and
the endless reruns provide you with the
absolute
dependability or total braininess as you
might say yeah yeah sure that's exactly
what I might say
cool hey pizza is for everyone it's on
my expense account H oh thanks but
pizza's junk food a lot of people are on
medically restricted diets you
know cholesterol
Unity so you're not going to eat
this what was that what was
what
nothing he bought it all he even brought
the
pizza you guys actually think you pulled
something off huh well yeah I mean it
was fun and if he bought it he deserved
it you know yeah but even if you fooled
killroy he has tons of bosses that
wouldn't believe any of this stuff it's
just too
weird come on now they might be a little
hard on
killroy find out he's a lousy reporter
and give him a worse job yeah like a
paper boy yeah and then no one will ever
take anyone who's 14 seriously
again oh well at least he's gone we can
just forget about it
so what were you up to last night out
worshiping trees
again they printed it
mhm what are the
[Music]
odds vice principal patosi famous for
the day he taught a life skills
class coin cloth what and after
accomplished powerlifter Stephie L bench
pressed the vice principal vvo the perfu
football team considered her one of the
boys what is
this Mr pki please
anybody no ma'am we do not have a junior
Druid Lee uh no ma'am the boy with
purple hair is definitely not council
president is
he got like a million phone messages
really yeah um Tri County Chronicle uh
St George Daily Press and some guy from
inside look all want interviews what's
me it says you're the Bold voice of a
new generation you're quoted most in the
article Horus do you know what this
means this could be my 15 minutes this
is so insan how long are you going to
keep this going I don't know for as long
as I can I guess I mean should I hold
out for bigger bucks bigger demands what
do you
think this is such a riot why do they
buy into this it's like they want to
hear the
worst so we may as well give it to him
you should be steamed I'm not I I should
be trying to calm you down I should be
wiping foam from your mouth foam yeah
Christine come on look I hate to
disappoint you but I'm not mad I mean
Tucker has done a valuable little public
service and I'm glad they printed
this sorry yeah cute it's kind of a
habit anyways you want to get on
k*ller's good side right I don't see how
this could have helped okay well
obviously all killroy wanted was some
juicy story right no matter how stupid
it was which is exactly why they need a
kid columnist they have no clue so I've
written another one explaining how kids
aren't alien life forms if they bother
to listen do you think they'll print
it well if Tucker tells them that he
fooled them they'll have to run a
correction right and if they get someone
like me to write it it'll show that they
have some integrity and all I have to do
is convince Tucker no way but Tucker
this can't go on forever why not I tell
him what they want to hear they slurp it
up why not take all the free publicity I
can get I mean a voice voice of a new
generation is My
slogan better let me I'll represent you
James
[Music]
management um I'm sorry my client's busy
right now can I okay okay
gee who is it some killroy guy oh right
here it is he found
out
hello yeah hi
you you want to see me right now
urgent okay um I'll be right over yeah I
I
guess yeah that was him uh he says he
was thinking a lot about the the article
and he wants to see me and talk to me
now well yeah I'm I'm a little nervous
about this I mean what if they don't
have a sense of humor
what if they have really good
lawyers you know I haven't had a
reaction like this to one of my
lifestyle pieces in years oh yeah see
well maybe then I I should explain I'm
just sorry that I have not done it
sooner what I couldn't have done it
without you and your Insider knowledge
oh yeah well I think everyone agrees
it's time for the truth to come out W
pkv called me this morning they want me
to discuss the
story they want you to go on as well W
pkv the radio station want me as a bold
new voice of a generation me are you
serious really oh yeah tell you starting
to smell Awards
Tucker okay here's what we got to do
this is a call-in show right so if we
want to keep this thing alive we call
keep
pawling jammed the lines so no other
kids can blow our cover got it okay I'm
looking for new CDs what do you think
the sound of Sanders or propane torch
songs I got the three dolla program to
Java station perfect they're never gonna
forget this feedback have you heard I'm
gonna be on the news radio tonight right
and then all weekend I'm totally booked
with interviews now first off I have to
figure away to merchandize me should it
be a Tucker lunch box or a Tucker pez
dispenser so you're actually gonna keep
this thing going on right yeah I mean
why not no what's that okay um dear Miss
Fisher thanks for your submission while
you're writing is adequate and your idea
for a student columnist is a good one
we're afraid you personally are not
quite appropriate for that
responsibility but thanks anyway
Jim Kilroy
can you believe this I mean oh he
doesn't have a clue but he still has all
his power I guess maybe I was just
counting
talk about naive huh
that guy me too no I hate this guy I
mean look at this look even his
signature is obnoxious look but even as
Jay that that Jay offends me what's with
all the like stop at the end of it don't
you think he might have even bigger
think about I mean they give me all
these chances to sh**t my mouth off when
I'm not even from the one who has
anything to say yeah but Tucker you do
like this bull voice of a new generation
stuff you do sure baby I do but maybe
it's time for that title to change hands
w PK oh you know the drill Jim I
introduce you then the topic then we
take some calls you gotta go together
then Brenda gets to get back at you got
it Tucker I'll do most of the talking
just back me up if I ask for it yeah I
just relax kids sort of sit there stare
into space you'll be fine now views on
news with Robert Dinsdale we're live
with journalists Jim Kilroy author of a
controversial and some people insist
ridiculous article about the students at
parkview junior high hello also with us
is pundit Brenda Bennett assoc ologist
of humanists observing the ongoing
evolution of you for hui good evening
and also Tucker James voice of a new
generation hi Bob well the show we're
taking your calls on generation zero the
beginning okay in a line one you're on
the air hi oh uh listen quick quick
druid question um I've got some rights
coming up and I'm having a little
trouble with my stone circle as I point
out in my upcoming book here is a
generation that has taken up an obscure
religion for its cool factor a
generation that is easily impressed what
gullible if you will yes caller yeah I
just wanted to tell those guys that this
whole thing is becoming a little bit to
golden girls man here we see semantic
modification and using recycled mediated
phraseology where are the unique Nia
logical contributions any thoughts on
that target no thank you Bob she's
trying to make him look stupid don't
worry about it guys he's not gonna take
it for long dismiss him another
misguided trend is the confused belief
in the unity that they profess to hold
for cholesterol free
oh all the surname twice the fat what
are you doing you you don't eat junk
food I don't oh yes you believe all that
druid stuff too yes paragraph for the
the student body president guy he
worships trees sure on your planet what
about the construction noise you
consider that music wow the phone line
for you're on the air oh hi Tucker um I
was just wondering exactly how easy was
this to pull off which part Becca making
it all up or getting him to bind me once
again the media has dubbed feet first
into the issue of the moment without any
facts don't you mean some of the media
gives the clown I got it wrong yep you
put him on the air which gave him
credibility you might have actually got
published
push my bestseller off the shelves
edition what we go a recent study found
an alarming trend among adults these
days towards new country music
department store cowboy boots and
sweeping generalizations these adults
also known as generation wrinkly his
word such as relate a lot without
actually doing it so does what I'm
saying represent all of them is it
another trend well believe what you want
to believe but if you ask me articles
that try to lump the whole group of
people together are just a wee bit to
leave it to beaver at least that's my
opinion by Becca Fisher do you guys ever
think that we might have started
something that isn't so easy to stop now
I mean it's a fad fads don't last I mean
a month from now everyone will have
completely forgot about this
no lineups no parking hassles and no
special passes needed now you can see
the best movies in prime time and
there's always a good seat two great
movies coming this fall on c kv u 13
