1
00:00:02,203 --> 00:00:04,250
Social media is everywhere.
2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,218
It seems like every day there's
a brand new way to chat,
3
00:00:07,289 --> 00:00:11,290
text, hit on, or hate on
the world around us.
4
00:00:11,353 --> 00:00:15,391
In my dad's day, the main
technological advancement
5
00:00:15,425 --> 00:00:17,961
in communication was this.
6
00:00:17,993 --> 00:00:23,266
Dre. Do you know some girl named Lisa?
7
00:00:23,298 --> 00:00:25,402
Lisa?
8
00:00:25,434 --> 00:00:27,471
No, no, I don't know no Lisa.
9
00:00:27,504 --> 00:00:29,772
Oh, oh, you don't know me now?!
10
00:00:29,806 --> 00:00:30,774
Lisa?
11
00:00:30,806 --> 00:00:32,141
Janet?
12
00:00:32,175 --> 00:00:33,843
Dear black Jesus!
13
00:00:33,876 --> 00:00:36,580
How are you both on the line
at the same damn time?
14
00:00:36,613 --> 00:00:39,156
I got three-way calling, you [Bleep].
15
00:00:40,215 --> 00:00:42,518
Why would the phone company
do something like this?
16
00:00:42,552 --> 00:00:45,255
And while we're more advanced now,
17
00:00:45,288 --> 00:00:48,466
we're also more dependent
on technology than ever.
18
00:00:48,856 --> 00:00:50,067
_
19
00:00:50,526 --> 00:00:52,161
One might say we're addicted.
20
00:00:55,732 --> 00:00:57,833
There's actually scientific evidence
21
00:00:57,867 --> 00:00:59,870
our brains get a boost of dopamine,
22
00:00:59,903 --> 00:01:02,973
like a chemical reward whenever
we get a text or a like.
23
00:01:04,807 --> 00:01:07,043
I'd like to say I'm above it all.
24
00:01:07,075 --> 00:01:10,679
But there is nothing better
than sharing the amazing news
25
00:01:10,712 --> 00:01:14,851
of your dream fellowship with
8,000 of your closest friends.

Okay, so I got my fellowship
at Teen Vogue,
38
00:01:56,292 --> 00:01:57,928
and really, it's no big deal.
39
00:02:01,897 --> 00:02:03,265
I'm lying.
40
00:02:03,298 --> 00:02:05,735
It's the biggest deal of all time!
41
00:02:07,636 --> 00:02:08,837
I mean, look at this place.
42
00:02:08,870 --> 00:02:11,340
Can you believe I am barely
getting paid to be here?
43
00:02:11,374 --> 00:02:12,576
The clothes.
44
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:19,248
The people.
45
00:02:24,921 --> 00:02:26,256
The bathroom.
46
00:02:27,109 --> 00:02:28,844
Come on. Baby wipes?
47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560
This is just a first-class institution.
48
00:02:31,594 --> 00:02:33,797
I'm not one to be dramatic,
49
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:37,568
but if today were my last day
on Earth, I'd be okay with it.
50
00:02:38,801 --> 00:02:41,370
I was living an actual dream.
51
00:02:41,404 --> 00:02:44,574
And interestingly enough,
I was living it with my friend.
52
00:02:44,606 --> 00:02:46,809
Well, more like a friend with benefits.
53
00:02:46,843 --> 00:02:49,212
But there's actually not
that many benefits
54
00:02:49,244 --> 00:02:50,747
because he owes me money.
55
00:02:50,779 --> 00:02:52,648
He's more like a friend with history.
56
00:02:52,682 --> 00:02:55,084
But honestly, there's not
that much history, either,
57
00:02:55,118 --> 00:02:57,387
because all we did was
make out a few times.
58
00:02:57,420 --> 00:02:59,888
But he does owe me some money.
59
00:02:59,921 --> 00:03:03,058
Like, a pretty significant
amount of money.
60
00:03:03,092 --> 00:03:05,761
God, Luca is so cute.
61
00:03:05,795 --> 00:03:08,832
I mean, there's maybe three
other people on this planet
62
00:03:08,864 --> 00:03:11,635
that could pull off pajama pants
and Gucci slides.
63
00:03:11,667 --> 00:03:14,470
Yeah, he's bae.
64
00:03:14,504 --> 00:03:17,140
Hey, Luca, remind me again
how you got this job,
65
00:03:17,172 --> 00:03:19,441
because I don't remember you applying.
66
00:03:19,475 --> 00:03:20,577
I didn't.
67
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:22,612
I was kind of just walking to wherever,
68
00:03:22,644 --> 00:03:25,114
and, uh, this girl came up
to me and was like,
69
00:03:25,148 --> 00:03:26,483
"Your pants are fire."
70
00:03:26,516 --> 00:03:27,851
So here we are.
71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,491
Okay, I love your company
and your overall fashion sense,
72
00:03:34,523 --> 00:03:36,792
but you are not the best storyteller.
73
00:03:36,826 --> 00:03:38,795
I just don't think
you're the best listener.
74
00:03:38,827 --> 00:03:41,130
Remember when I tried to tell you
75
00:03:41,164 --> 00:03:42,699
about my father's alcoholism?
76
00:03:42,731 --> 00:03:45,768
I think he's talking right now,
but I'm not sure because...
77
00:03:46,868 --> 00:03:48,337
...this is happening.
78
00:03:50,807 --> 00:03:53,843
And, you know, I'm just
wondering if those demons
79
00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:55,979
are gonna follow me throughout my life.
80
00:03:56,011 --> 00:03:58,047
You know?
81
00:04:00,683 --> 00:04:02,118
Mm-hmm.
82
00:04:03,852 --> 00:04:07,157
I know last week's class
on the Wu Tang Clan
83
00:04:07,189 --> 00:04:09,391
was overwhelming for some of you all.
84
00:04:09,425 --> 00:04:11,795
But please make no mistake.
85
00:04:11,827 --> 00:04:16,666
The section on Raekwon the Chef
will be on the midterm.
86
00:04:16,698 --> 00:04:17,799
Mmkay?
87
00:04:17,834 --> 00:04:22,839
Now, for tonight's class,
our lesson is filing taxes.
88
00:04:22,871 --> 00:04:25,842
More specifically, filing my taxes.
89
00:04:25,875 --> 00:04:29,879
Still more specifically,
how do I file my taxes?
90
00:04:29,911 --> 00:04:34,383
Now, with that being said,
I present to you a pop quiz.
91
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,220
Excuse me, sir.
These are just blank W-4s.
92
00:04:38,253 --> 00:04:39,722
That is correct, Joe.
93
00:04:39,755 --> 00:04:42,592
Now, if you all can fill out these forms
94
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:45,528
using my information,
I'm pretty sure an "A"
95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,863
will be waiting for you
on the other side.
96
00:04:47,897 --> 00:04:51,601
I've also been told that, uh,
it helps to have receipts, so...
97
00:04:51,633 --> 00:04:53,035
Oh, hey, Miss Teen Vogue.
98
00:04:53,068 --> 00:04:54,670
How's the new gig?
99
00:04:54,704 --> 00:04:57,407
You really have to ask?
Just check her Insta.
100
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,007
What's that supposed to mean?
101
00:04:59,041 --> 00:05:00,844
It just means you're
flooding our feeds, boo.
102
00:05:00,877 --> 00:05:03,947
Yeah, I had to comb through
67 of your bathroom selfies
103
00:05:03,979 --> 00:05:06,081
just to find a picture of
my cousin getting married.
104
00:05:06,115 --> 00:05:09,185
What? I'm excited. I'm loving my new job
105
00:05:09,217 --> 00:05:12,455
and loving the followers
I'm getting loving my new job.
106
00:05:12,488 --> 00:05:13,757
- Yesterday...
- Hmm?
107
00:05:13,789 --> 00:05:15,924
...Janelle Monae liked one of my photos.
108
00:05:15,957 --> 00:05:18,928
Stop. I can't.
Janelle Monae is so overrated.
109
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,096
- Oh, Nomi, don't do that.
- Don't do what?
110
00:05:21,130 --> 00:05:23,298
The thing you do when you think
that somebody's too famous
111
00:05:23,332 --> 00:05:24,868
and/or successful and you feel like
112
00:05:24,901 --> 00:05:26,136
you have to cut them down to size.
113
00:05:26,169 --> 00:05:28,166
Excuse me, okay?
114
00:05:28,213 --> 00:05:30,807
I may be a lot of things,
but I'm not a troll.
115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,463
_
116
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:34,807
_
117
00:05:36,986 --> 00:05:39,628
_
118
00:05:40,792 --> 00:05:43,464
_
119
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:44,954
No?
120
00:05:44,986 --> 00:05:48,555
I have strong opinions,
and I share them, okay?
121
00:05:48,609 --> 00:05:50,688
I mean, I'm, like,
basically Gloria Steinem.
122
00:05:50,727 --> 00:05:52,375
Are you really getting
caught up in that stuff?
123
00:05:52,406 --> 00:05:54,496
Look, social media is a legitimate tool
124
00:05:54,529 --> 00:05:55,631
to affect the world.
125
00:05:55,664 --> 00:05:57,166
Power to the digital people.
126
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,003
I never like, comment, post,
retweet anything unless it
127
00:06:00,036 --> 00:06:02,906
aligns with my, you know,
political progressive vision.
128
00:06:02,938 --> 00:06:05,037
Word. That's fire.
Uh, what's your handle?
129
00:06:05,107 --> 00:06:08,478
Oh, it's @Power2ThaDigitalPeople.
130
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:09,645
Blocked.
131
00:06:12,849 --> 00:06:15,919
Malcolm Extra here
is kind of right, though.
132
00:06:15,952 --> 00:06:17,587
- Thank you.
- It's a tool.
133
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:19,289
We use it to show our potential sponsors
134
00:06:19,322 --> 00:06:20,790
that we're thriving out here.
135
00:06:20,822 --> 00:06:23,959
You mean you use it
to hide your real selves.
136
00:06:23,993 --> 00:06:25,461
Excuse me?
137
00:06:25,493 --> 00:06:27,527
The only way to keep
your online presence clean
138
00:06:27,574 --> 00:06:29,965
is to go ghost or to bury the dirt
139
00:06:29,998 --> 00:06:31,534
south of page 30 on a web search.
140
00:06:31,567 --> 00:06:32,836
That's why I don't use social media.
141
00:06:32,868 --> 00:06:34,203
Point blank period.
142
00:06:34,236 --> 00:06:36,839
Boy, please, the only reason why
you're not on social media
143
00:06:36,873 --> 00:06:38,974
is because literally no one
cares what you are up to.
144
00:06:39,007 --> 00:06:42,846
Plus there's no social network
for virgin drug dealers.
145
00:06:50,853 --> 00:06:52,923
Sushi Tuesday. That's fire.
146
00:06:57,926 --> 00:06:59,828
What's up, crazy eyes?
147
00:06:59,861 --> 00:07:01,998
Me. I'm what's up.
148
00:07:02,031 --> 00:07:04,300
I got a blue check.
149
00:07:04,332 --> 00:07:06,702
Dude, I'm verified!
150
00:07:06,736 --> 00:07:08,036
What does that mean?
151
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:10,099
Aw, you're so sweet.
152
00:07:10,185 --> 00:07:12,872
It means that I'm important enough now
153
00:07:12,935 --> 00:07:14,552
that people actually need to know
154
00:07:14,577 --> 00:07:18,081
that I'm the real Zoey Johnson,
so kind of a big deal.
155
00:07:18,113 --> 00:07:19,715
Word. That's crazy.
156
00:07:19,748 --> 00:07:22,351
So, what does it mean to have two?
157
00:07:27,741 --> 00:07:29,543
I couldn't believe my eyes.
158
00:07:29,575 --> 00:07:34,057
There they were,
two blue checks side by side
159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,754
on a pristine nimbus-colored background.
160
00:07:36,802 --> 00:07:39,037
I thought it was still in beta testing.
161
00:07:39,069 --> 00:07:40,872
You good? You're sweating.
162
00:07:40,905 --> 00:07:43,908
It's probably just a glitch.
163
00:07:43,941 --> 00:07:44,910
I'm a star.
164
00:07:44,942 --> 00:07:47,211
Hi, everyone. Gather around.
165
00:07:47,244 --> 00:07:49,648
I have a little bit
of an announcement to make.
166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,815
Come on, guys.
167
00:07:50,848 --> 00:07:53,551
So, as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue,
168
00:07:53,585 --> 00:07:57,222
each semester I get to
hand-select one of the fellows
169
00:07:57,254 --> 00:07:59,992
to shadow me through all of my
day-to-day responsibilities.
170
00:08:00,025 --> 00:08:02,928
And after much deliberation,
171
00:08:02,961 --> 00:08:06,999
I have decided to go with...
172
00:08:07,031 --> 00:08:08,766
...Zoey Johnson.
173
00:08:15,874 --> 00:08:17,609
Can I have a quick word with you?
174
00:08:17,641 --> 00:08:20,011
Yeah, of course.
175
00:08:20,045 --> 00:08:21,312
So, congrats.
176
00:08:21,345 --> 00:08:22,613
Thank you.
177
00:08:22,646 --> 00:08:25,917
So I hear you are very active
on social media.
178
00:08:25,951 --> 00:08:28,253
Oh, yeah. Just got verified, yeah.
179
00:08:28,285 --> 00:08:30,689
Right. So here's the thing to remember.
180
00:08:30,722 --> 00:08:33,257
Your behavior now reflects
upon Teen Vogue,
181
00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:35,260
so I'm gonna tell you something
182
00:08:35,293 --> 00:08:38,163
that someone told me
when I was in your position.
183
00:08:38,195 --> 00:08:41,766
Don't embarrass me or this office.
184
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,769
I can do that all by myself.
185
00:08:45,069 --> 00:08:45,838
Understood?
186
00:08:45,871 --> 00:08:47,673
Understood.
187
00:08:47,705 --> 00:08:49,675
I knew you would. Congrats.
188
00:08:49,708 --> 00:08:51,477
- Thank you.
- Bye, Zoey.
189
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,146
Congratulations, fam.
190
00:08:54,179 --> 00:08:56,348
Luca, did you hear what she said?
191
00:08:56,381 --> 00:08:59,483
About my social media
and me not embarrassing her?
192
00:08:59,516 --> 00:09:01,486
Dude, she's watching me.
193
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,149
Okay, but we're always being watched.
194
00:09:03,212 --> 00:09:05,990
Either it's our tablets,
TVs, phones, watches,
195
00:09:06,016 --> 00:09:08,793
- microwave, toasters, satellites.
- Okay, Luca, I need to focus right now.
196
00:09:08,835 --> 00:09:10,407
I can't risk it, you know?
197
00:09:10,446 --> 00:09:11,953
This... This means too much for me,
198
00:09:12,026 --> 00:09:15,328
which means I am going on...
199
00:09:16,067 --> 00:09:18,537
...a social media blackout.
200
00:09:18,569 --> 00:09:19,670
Whatever.
201
00:09:19,703 --> 00:09:21,305
California yellowfin?
202
00:09:21,338 --> 00:09:23,641
Oddly specific, and no, thanks?
203
00:09:28,012 --> 00:09:30,548
To my 15,000 closest friends,
204
00:09:30,582 --> 00:09:34,053
I am sorry to say we are no
longer "outchea."
205
00:09:38,122 --> 00:09:40,858
So I had made my Sophie's Choice...
206
00:09:40,891 --> 00:09:43,594
social media or my dream fellowship.
207
00:09:43,627 --> 00:09:46,163
I was gonna have to pull
a Lebron in the playoffs
208
00:09:46,197 --> 00:09:50,469
and go "Zero Dark Thirty"...
full social media blackout.
209
00:10:00,548 --> 00:10:02,113
But it's all good.
210
00:10:02,146 --> 00:10:04,916
I wasn't about to risk
this new life for anything.
211
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:07,084
I was finally working in fashion.
212
00:10:08,786 --> 00:10:11,422
The crazy thing is,
once you go off the grid,
213
00:10:11,455 --> 00:10:14,125
you begin to realize
how the rest of the world
214
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:15,527
really has a problem.
215
00:10:22,103 --> 00:10:23,568
_
216
00:10:31,108 --> 00:10:33,578
As the obvious role model of the group,
217
00:10:33,611 --> 00:10:35,280
it's my duty to guide them.
218
00:10:35,313 --> 00:10:37,982
Okay, guys, guys, what I'm
seeing here is upsetting.
219
00:10:38,016 --> 00:10:40,584
We are four people
in the prime of our lives.
220
00:10:40,617 --> 00:10:43,955
Shouldn't we be talking,
sharing ideas or something?
221
00:10:43,988 --> 00:10:45,122
Like, phones down. Come on.
222
00:10:45,155 --> 00:10:46,157
Whoa, whoa, fall back, weirdo.
223
00:10:46,190 --> 00:10:47,725
I am posting for political change.
224
00:10:47,758 --> 00:10:49,727
I just started following this
account, and all their stuff
225
00:10:49,761 --> 00:10:51,228
is about prison reform
and social justice,
226
00:10:51,261 --> 00:10:53,732
so I'm retweeting all their stuff.
227
00:10:56,101 --> 00:10:59,973
_
228
00:11:00,671 --> 00:11:02,440
Nomi?
229
00:11:02,473 --> 00:11:04,142
Nomi, can we get some eye contact going?
230
00:11:04,167 --> 00:11:05,408
Come on. Tell me about your day.
231
00:11:05,433 --> 00:11:07,144
Can't. At war.
232
00:11:07,178 --> 00:11:08,146
With who?
233
00:11:08,179 --> 00:11:10,015
Who do you think?
234
00:11:10,048 --> 00:11:11,450
Janelle Monae?
235
00:11:11,482 --> 00:11:12,984
That "Hidden Figures" bitch
hit you back?
236
00:11:13,017 --> 00:11:15,586
- No.
- Ana, you're in on this, too?
237
00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:18,155
What? I'm tired of her thinking
she's hot shit
238
00:11:18,189 --> 00:11:20,158
just 'cause she can count?
239
00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:21,759
She needs to be put in her place.
240
00:11:21,793 --> 00:11:22,928
Since when?
241
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,996
Trolling is the great American art form.
242
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:26,430
I mean, think about it.
243
00:11:26,463 --> 00:11:29,001
We finally get to take shots
at whoever we want,
244
00:11:29,034 --> 00:11:32,136
whenever we want, with no repercussions.
245
00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:34,106
I mean, look at our President.
246
00:11:34,139 --> 00:11:36,108
He trolled his way into the White House.
247
00:11:39,077 --> 00:11:41,179
Come on, Zo. You should just join us.
248
00:11:41,212 --> 00:11:43,115
Nomi and I have never been closer.
249
00:11:43,147 --> 00:11:44,815
Okay, I'm gonna sit this one out.
250
00:11:48,719 --> 00:11:50,287
Great.
251
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,057
The hurdles are just
a matter of form, ladies.
252
00:11:53,091 --> 00:11:56,061
Your legs should move like
a swan's through water.
253
00:11:56,093 --> 00:11:57,628
Allow me to demonstrate.
254
00:11:57,661 --> 00:11:59,296
- Oh.
- Like that.
255
00:11:59,329 --> 00:12:01,465
Thank you so much, Dean Parker.
256
00:12:01,498 --> 00:12:05,036
Yeah, we'll be sure to remember
that if we ever do the hurdles.
257
00:12:05,069 --> 00:12:07,204
Happy to help. That's why they
call me "the cool dean."
258
00:12:07,237 --> 00:12:09,708
You teaching the
ladies something new, D.P.?
259
00:12:09,741 --> 00:12:13,481
You know, I actually just recently
learned about something crazy.
260
00:12:13,569 --> 00:12:15,254
You ever heard of a "Finsta"?
261
00:12:15,363 --> 00:12:18,516
I mean, I am the cool dean, so...
262
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:20,017
why don't you give me your definition?
263
00:12:20,050 --> 00:12:21,886
Well, it's a second Instagram account
264
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,256
that you only gave
your closest peeps access to
265
00:12:24,289 --> 00:12:27,359
so you can post pics of yourself
partying and acting reckless.
266
00:12:27,391 --> 00:12:29,927
Oh, yeah. A "Finsta."
267
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,231
Now, completely unrelated,
I'm going to go call my wife.
268
00:12:36,067 --> 00:12:37,335
Boom.
269
00:12:40,771 --> 00:12:42,040
Fix your faces.
270
00:12:42,073 --> 00:12:44,076
- Where did you find that?
- How did you find that?
271
00:12:44,108 --> 00:12:46,944
Little tip, ladies... Don't
ever come after V-Digital
272
00:12:46,977 --> 00:12:48,412
unless you've got an army with you.
273
00:12:48,445 --> 00:12:50,881
I'm a [Bleep] computer engineer.
274
00:12:53,958 --> 00:12:55,260
It had been a couple days
275
00:12:55,292 --> 00:12:57,270
since I'd gone "Zero Dark Zoey,"
276
00:12:57,310 --> 00:13:00,262
and I felt... great, actually.
277
00:13:00,348 --> 00:13:03,222
Sure, there were a few times
I wish I wasn't off the grid.
278
00:13:03,270 --> 00:13:04,573
You know, that dress would make
279
00:13:04,606 --> 00:13:07,510
- a killer "Outfit of the Day" post.
- Oh, thank you.
280
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:19,188
Take a picture with your mind, Zoey.
281
00:13:21,256 --> 00:13:23,024
It's the best way to build a memory.
282
00:13:25,193 --> 00:13:27,395
- Hey, Zoey.
- Hey.
283
00:13:27,428 --> 00:13:28,964
Bruno Mars is here, and he wants a PB&J.
284
00:13:28,997 --> 00:13:31,233
Can you make it in the kitchen
and bring it to my office?
285
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:32,568
- Yeah.
- Amazing.
286
00:13:32,601 --> 00:13:34,537
Oh, and by the way, cut off the crusts.
287
00:13:34,569 --> 00:13:36,539
I legitimately can't tell how old he is.
288
00:13:36,572 --> 00:13:38,173
Okay, got it.
289
00:13:44,446 --> 00:13:46,548
How old is Bruno Mars?
290
00:13:48,116 --> 00:13:51,121
Aaron, we really need your help.
Ana screwed up.
291
00:13:51,146 --> 00:13:53,589
- What?! No, you were the one who...
- Okay, we both screwed up.
292
00:13:53,621 --> 00:13:55,991
We really pissed off
a bunch of Janelle Monae fans.
293
00:13:56,024 --> 00:13:59,528
Oh, damn. They wear their hair natural.
294
00:13:59,561 --> 00:14:00,830
What does that mean?
295
00:14:00,862 --> 00:14:03,332
Uh, that means they could either
be completely chill about this
296
00:14:03,365 --> 00:14:04,933
or black the [Bleep] out.
297
00:14:04,967 --> 00:14:06,601
- That doesn't sound good.
- No.
298
00:14:06,635 --> 00:14:07,870
What did you do?
299
00:14:07,903 --> 00:14:10,373
I told Janelle that
her last album was a brick,
300
00:14:10,405 --> 00:14:12,875
said that she sucked ass in "Moonlight,"
301
00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:15,211
and because grain alcohol
should not be legal,
302
00:14:15,244 --> 00:14:17,947
I told her to shut
her dick trap forever.
303
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:19,181
Hmm. All those things, huh?
304
00:14:19,213 --> 00:14:21,082
And then I tweeted a comment
305
00:14:21,116 --> 00:14:24,053
that, in hindsight, feels
aggressively sus.
306
00:14:24,086 --> 00:14:25,087
What did you say?
307
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,721
"Black or white, bitch. Pick a side."
308
00:14:26,755 --> 00:14:27,957
Whoa! That's...
309
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:30,459
I was just talking about
her choice in fashion.
310
00:14:30,491 --> 00:14:33,062
You know, like the tuxedos
and the monochrome look.
311
00:14:33,095 --> 00:14:34,430
What did you do?
312
00:14:34,462 --> 00:14:36,598
Um, I followed it up with
a black middle finger emoji
313
00:14:36,631 --> 00:14:38,099
and then a white middle finger emoji.
314
00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:39,135
Right, right, 'cause that would be
315
00:14:39,168 --> 00:14:41,736
the next logical step, right?
316
00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:42,971
It felt like it at the time.
317
00:14:43,005 --> 00:14:46,575
Yo, hold up. Why am I getting
so many notifications?
318
00:14:46,607 --> 00:14:47,909
I have 300 new followers,
319
00:14:47,943 --> 00:14:50,446
and they all look like frogs
for some strange reason.
320
00:14:50,478 --> 00:14:51,713
- Frogs?
- Yeah.
321
00:14:51,746 --> 00:14:53,716
Hold on. You said you've been
posting a lot of links
322
00:14:53,749 --> 00:14:54,817
- lately, right?
- Yeah.
323
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:58,553
Maybe double-check what
you've been linking to.
324
00:14:58,587 --> 00:15:01,222
Okay, I'm pretty sure I know
what I was linking to,
325
00:15:01,255 --> 00:15:03,326
- but whatever.
- What's the verdict?
326
00:15:03,359 --> 00:15:05,094
Hold on, looking here, looking here.
327
00:15:05,126 --> 00:15:06,761
Oh... ohh.
328
00:15:06,794 --> 00:15:07,963
Damn.
329
00:15:07,996 --> 00:15:10,098
Um, okay, well,
330
00:15:10,131 --> 00:15:13,068
the True American Justice
Project might actually be
331
00:15:13,101 --> 00:15:15,504
a, uh... It says it's an alt-right group
332
00:15:15,537 --> 00:15:16,839
in favor of privatizing prisons
333
00:15:16,871 --> 00:15:18,006
and "one strike, you're out" laws.
334
00:15:20,442 --> 00:15:24,080
Let me see.
"Immigration isn't the problem."
335
00:15:24,112 --> 00:15:25,580
See?
336
00:15:25,614 --> 00:15:28,517
"It's Mexican gay Muslims."
337
00:15:28,549 --> 00:15:31,186
Yeah, I would
double-check that next time.
338
00:15:35,223 --> 00:15:36,992
Here.
339
00:15:37,025 --> 00:15:40,362
Oh. Okay. We just murdered this.
340
00:15:40,395 --> 00:15:41,664
Big facts.
341
00:15:41,697 --> 00:15:43,099
You know we have to celebrate.
342
00:15:43,131 --> 00:15:44,799
Uh, I can't. I got a thing.
343
00:15:44,832 --> 00:15:46,368
Oh, what you getting into?
344
00:15:46,401 --> 00:15:48,503
Got this art show, but not.
345
00:15:48,537 --> 00:15:51,140
But there's music, but it's
very much not about the music.
346
00:15:51,173 --> 00:15:52,508
Uh, I don't really have all the details.
347
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:53,541
I'm just meeting friends.
348
00:15:53,574 --> 00:15:56,678
Oh, okay, that sounds... dope.
349
00:15:56,712 --> 00:15:59,515
It is in a "not dope" way.
350
00:15:59,548 --> 00:16:02,491
- Have... Have fun.
- Yep.
351
00:16:06,154 --> 00:16:07,890
So I'd stayed off social media
352
00:16:07,923 --> 00:16:10,993
and worked my ass off
at my Teen Vogue fellowship.
353
00:16:11,025 --> 00:16:12,929
I just needed to tell the world
354
00:16:12,968 --> 00:16:15,897
this was my feeling when
I handled my business.
355
00:16:44,293 --> 00:16:46,995
_
356
00:16:51,766 --> 00:16:55,604
And this is that feeling when
you know you're screwed.
357
00:16:57,201 --> 00:16:59,274
So, I had accidentally leaked a picture
358
00:16:59,308 --> 00:17:03,712
of the as-yet unrevealed Fear
of God Fall 2018 collection
359
00:17:03,744 --> 00:17:05,747
to the entire online world,
360
00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:09,217
a mistake that clearly anyone
could have made.
361
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:11,520
And I was hopeful that people
would have kept
362
00:17:11,552 --> 00:17:14,556
that sense of perspective in
mind when I got to the office.
363
00:17:14,589 --> 00:17:16,591
Zoey.
364
00:17:16,625 --> 00:17:18,094
What were you thinking?
365
00:17:18,126 --> 00:17:19,127
Elaine, I am so sorry.
366
00:17:19,161 --> 00:17:22,071
I screwed up big-time, but it was late.
367
00:17:22,096 --> 00:17:24,567
I was tired, and we had just
finished the preliminary layout,
368
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,666
- and it looked good...
- Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there.
369
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,971
I asked you not to embarrass me.
370
00:17:29,003 --> 00:17:30,772
- Yeah.
- And that's exactly what you did.
371
00:17:30,806 --> 00:17:31,874
Mm-hmm.
372
00:17:31,906 --> 00:17:33,241
That little selfie you posted
373
00:17:33,275 --> 00:17:36,112
damaged an invaluable
advertiser relationship.
374
00:17:36,145 --> 00:17:39,280
And now since you basically scooped us,
375
00:17:39,314 --> 00:17:41,984
we're gonna miss out
on a major exclusive.
376
00:17:42,017 --> 00:17:44,319
You're off my desk.
377
00:17:44,353 --> 00:17:46,755
And let's be clear...
I'm being very lenient here.
378
00:17:46,788 --> 00:17:48,057
Yes, thank you.
379
00:17:48,089 --> 00:17:50,492
Luca? You're replacing Zoey.
380
00:17:50,526 --> 00:17:52,294
Come on.
381
00:17:52,327 --> 00:17:54,296
There's an editorial meeting
in 10 minutes.
382
00:17:54,328 --> 00:17:55,431
You can take notes.
383
00:17:55,463 --> 00:17:57,232
Again, I'm really sorry!
384
00:17:57,266 --> 00:18:00,135
It won't happen again!
385
00:18:00,168 --> 00:18:02,770
Okay, I cannot believe you
have my dream job
386
00:18:02,804 --> 00:18:05,341
because I made some stupid,
little mistake.
387
00:18:05,374 --> 00:18:08,144
I'm sorry, but I also do good work.
388
00:18:08,176 --> 00:18:09,744
What?
389
00:18:09,778 --> 00:18:11,313
My shit's impeccable.
390
00:18:13,781 --> 00:18:16,952
Great. I had basically been
demoted to coffee intern.
391
00:18:16,984 --> 00:18:20,289
I was about to lose all my
followers... and my mind.
392
00:18:22,356 --> 00:18:24,693
- Hey, Vivek.
- What's up?
393
00:18:24,725 --> 00:18:26,462
There they are, the fake-ass Twinstas.
394
00:18:26,494 --> 00:18:28,863
Aww, you've really been
feeling yourself lately,
395
00:18:28,896 --> 00:18:30,265
haven't you, V-Digital?
396
00:18:30,298 --> 00:18:31,333
I really have been.
397
00:18:31,366 --> 00:18:33,202
Sometimes you just got to
regulate a little.
398
00:18:33,234 --> 00:18:34,770
You know, let people
know what time it is.
399
00:18:34,802 --> 00:18:36,804
Sure. And we appreciate that.
400
00:18:36,837 --> 00:18:38,807
Plus we learned a lot.
401
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:41,342
That thing about burying stuff
below page 30
402
00:18:41,375 --> 00:18:42,778
in the search results?
403
00:18:42,810 --> 00:18:43,779
Golden.
404
00:18:43,811 --> 00:18:46,615
Yeah, because no one
looks below page 30.
405
00:18:46,647 --> 00:18:47,616
True.
406
00:18:47,648 --> 00:18:49,350
Except us.
407
00:18:49,384 --> 00:18:52,555
Hey, Rod, here comes the
guy who scratched your bike.
408
00:18:52,587 --> 00:18:54,056
Hey, what's up, bro?
409
00:18:54,088 --> 00:18:56,024
Hey, what's up, guys? How are y... Oh!
410
00:18:56,058 --> 00:18:57,625
Oh, dude!
411
00:18:57,658 --> 00:18:59,294
Where did you find that?
412
00:18:59,327 --> 00:19:00,362
Page 31.
413
00:19:00,395 --> 00:19:01,497
We may not be engineers,
414
00:19:01,529 --> 00:19:04,032
but we sure do know our way
around Worldstar.
415
00:19:05,267 --> 00:19:06,735
Fix your face.
416
00:19:10,288 --> 00:19:12,350
It's crazy. As young adults,
417
00:19:12,398 --> 00:19:14,254
we were supposed to be making mistakes
418
00:19:14,293 --> 00:19:16,540
so we could figure out who we were.
419
00:19:16,575 --> 00:19:20,456
I can't believe I got
suspended from Twitter.
420
00:19:20,503 --> 00:19:22,940
Dude, I got completely kicked off.
421
00:19:23,292 --> 00:19:26,905
Also, Janelle Monae,
kind of an American treasure.
422
00:19:26,930 --> 00:19:28,132
Right?
423
00:19:28,159 --> 00:19:30,895
We let our jealousy get the best of us.
424
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,123
And the thing about
our generation's mistakes
425
00:19:33,155 --> 00:19:35,424
is that they are published
for all the world to see
426
00:19:35,458 --> 00:19:37,711
and written in digital ink.
427
00:19:38,828 --> 00:19:40,296
And you can never know
428
00:19:40,328 --> 00:19:42,231
when those mistakes
can be used against you.
429
00:19:42,265 --> 00:19:44,134
Yo, Aaron, you all right, man?
430
00:19:44,166 --> 00:19:45,400
No, no, I am not.
431
00:19:45,433 --> 00:19:48,570
I-I am the new black voice
of the alt-right.
432
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:50,306
Yeah, do you know Ted Nugent follows me?
433
00:19:50,338 --> 00:19:51,673
Who?
434
00:19:51,706 --> 00:19:54,576
I want you to picture Satan,
435
00:19:54,609 --> 00:19:57,246
but he's from Michigan
and he wears a cowboy hat.
436
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,949
Follows me.
437
00:19:59,981 --> 00:20:03,619
The bottom line is,
the Internet is a minefield,
438
00:20:03,653 --> 00:20:07,289
and there was just no room for error.
439
00:20:07,323 --> 00:20:09,025
And for that reason,
440
00:20:09,058 --> 00:20:12,295
it's hard not to resent being
born into the Digital Age.
441
00:20:12,327 --> 00:20:15,298
It seems like such a huge disadvantage.
442
00:20:16,965 --> 00:20:18,367
Oh, oh, my God! I love this song!
443
00:20:18,401 --> 00:20:20,003
- Ah, me too!
- It's, um...
444
00:20:20,036 --> 00:20:21,604
- What is... Wait.
- Who is this now?
445
00:20:21,636 --> 00:20:23,472
Oh, my God. It's literally
on the tip of my tongue.
446
00:20:23,506 --> 00:20:24,933
- It's the guy.
- This is gonna drive me insane.
447
00:20:24,958 --> 00:20:26,643
- Hold on.
- Wait, no, no, no, wait!
448
00:20:26,675 --> 00:20:28,211
I got it, I got it.
449
00:20:28,243 --> 00:20:30,779
Relax. Relax! It's searching.
450
00:20:35,585 --> 00:20:37,120
- Ah.
- Oh!
451
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:41,938
And sometimes it felt like
the only thing
452
00:20:41,985 --> 00:20:43,893
you could really think or say about it
453
00:20:43,925 --> 00:20:47,396
was "what a time to be alive."
454
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:51,520
