Bus Weight Limit (Reprise)

Hello.

Hello, I'm trying to reach uh Trina, please.

Yeah, this is Trina.

Hey, uh Trina, my name is uh Ernest Ernest Murphy down here at the bus bar with uh uh from the school district.

Your son is is Devin, am I right?

Uh yeah.

Okay.

No, he's in the sixth grade, I think.

Wait, is that even okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everything is fine.

I think he's on he rides bus ninety bus ninety three.

Does he ride bus ninety three?

Are you believed first number?

Uh yeah.

I d yeah, he does.

Okay.

So now the school board has implemented a new rule.

And um we're we're having to call Uh a lot of parents and let them know about the new rule uh for as far as the buses are concerned.

Now, from my understanding, each child that gets on the bus has to weigh less than one hundred and twenty five pounds.

That's what the new rule that is impl implemented by the school board.

Wait, what did you just

can you say that again?

I I feel like you just missed something.

I don't under I I don't understand.

K

so

what is what does that mean?

So starting on Monday, starting on Monday, what they're gonna do is they're gonna the the bus driver will have a scale and he will weigh the kids before they get on on the bus.

I I know I I understand, Melinda, but like I say, I'm calling I'm calling every parent that they thought.

Wait, what the f is you say you're gonna you're gonna weigh my child before he gets on the bus?

That's that's what the new rule that's what the new rule is.

If he's over 125, then he he'll either have to walk or you'll have to take him to school.

I have a job.

Okay, I have a job.

I'm not gonna take my kid to school.

That doesn't I don't I that's what the bus is for.

That's what our my tax dollars pay for.

Right.

The rationale behind this.

Okay, let me tell you what's going on.

From what they're saying is that the the weight of these children is wearing down these transmissions on this bus, on these buses.

The transmission that cannot take all of that

they are limiting the weight of each child.

So now how much does I think that's discrimination?

I think that's discrimination.

But is that is your son over is he over a hundred and twenty five pounds?

He okay, he is.

Okay.

Then you're gonna you probably gonna have to take your son to school or he's gonna have to walk.

That is so rude.

What the ass

are you talking about?

Ma'am, all I'm saying, all I'm saying is if your son is overweight, uh 125, you know, maybe the exercise of doing good, but like I say, the the school board is not gonna allow him on the bus.

Sir, I I will not accept this.

Who do I need to call?

Is there a manager?

Is there a city council member?

I mean, this is seriously the most fed up discriminatory practice I've ever heard of.

It doesn't even make sense.

You're talking about a child.

I understand, but we're talking about a child that weigh more than a grown person.

You your son is a hitter.

What is your name, sir?

Tell me your name again.

My name is Ernest.

I'm down here at the bus bar.

I would like to speak with a supervisor.

Like now.

Okay.

You do not get to speak to my about my child that way.

You can just speak to any kid that way.

You should not be working at a school if that is your attitude.

I'm not I don't work at the school.

I work at the bus barn.

I'm down here at the bus bar.

And they gave me your number.

Evidently, they're right.

Because you're saying he's over 125.

I I am an absolute shock.

This is so f up to you.

Okay.

So do you have a fat ass child?

I mean, do you have excuse me?

I'm sorry.

Do you have a big child?

Listen, what my child looks like, how much he weighs is none of your business.

I'm gonna call the school.

They can't even work with your company if this is the way that you treat people.

And you talk about children this way?

Like what the f is the matter with you?

I guess what they're doing is this is the way of them approaching obesity.

You know, listen to your walk to school.

Whoever, whoever over 125, let them walk.

They might walk at all.

Your son might be a big couple of years.

Listen me.

Listen, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, okay?

I I have to work.

My son is getting on that c bus and I'm gonna call the school board and should not be working with you.

Maybe another bus company, I don't know, but I'm calling the city.

I will call whoever the f they need to call, but you need to give me a supervisor's name right now.

Right now.

Do you think you need to start cooking different so Devon don't have uh you know, maybe maybe it starts at home with what you feed me?

Everybody you know, I am calling your supervisor, I'm calling the the city, I'm calling the school.

I am going to get you so fired.

Like I can't even believe that you're allowed to make this call.

Like are other parents okay with this?

When you're on your way to work in the morning, Trina, do you listen to the Steve Harvey morning show?

Oh my gosh.

Uh yes, I do.

Tristan, this is nephew Tally from the Steve Harvey Morning Show, baby.

Yes, yes, you're your cousin Vicky got me to prank phone call you, baby.

Oh my god, I'm gonna kill her.

Yeah.

God.

I mean, I was like oh my god.

I love Steve Harvey.

I love you.

I was gonna have a word to have.

Thank God.

You gotta tell me this, baby.
