Finally Growing Up Season 1 Episode 5: The Shut This Off You Idiot Challenge


CHRIS, JULIAN, and DREW are all sitting in their living room. JULIAN is scrolling through the popular social media app Tac Toe.

CHRIS
Anything new on Tac Toe?

JULIAN
Nope, but the Shut This Off You Idiot Challenge is still going strong.

CHRIS
Tell me again what that is?

JULIAN
I told you like five minutes ago.

DREW
Want me to say it Julian?

JULIAN
Please do.

DREW
Basically someone turns something stupid on and another person comes in and shouts "Shut this off you idiot!"

CHRIS
What kind of stuff are they shutting off?

DREW
It varies. Some are obviously fake, you can see the computer screen is off. Most are meant to be comical, I even saw one that was funny!

CHRIS
And these are all teens?

DREW
Some of them are two teens, some are parent and child, it's a mixture.

CHRIS
How do we take advantage of this?

JULIAN
A TubeYou show about it.

CHRIS
That seems like a lot of work.

JULIAN
It will be.

CHRIS
Wouldn't we need a camera?

DREW
I have one of those disposable ones.

JULIAN
A camera for video. We can just use my phone.

CHRIS
We would also need a bunch of actors.

JULIAN
It'll be the three of us.

CHRIS gives JULIAN a look signaling discontent.

JULIAN
OK, just me and Drew.

CHRIS
This just sounds like a terrible idea to me.

DREW
I've probably lost 15 pounds this month.

JULIAN
I've been sleeping 13 hours a day out of boredom.

CHRIS
So our situation isn't great, but that doesn't mean you have to do a TubeYou show.

JULIAN
We have to try it. Why not try to capitalize on this now?

DREW
Right? If we don't do this then nobody is going to even remember the Shut This Off You Idiot Challenge.

JULIAN
As stupid as it sounds, I think this is a good idea.

CHRIS
Go ahead then.

DREW
I just thought of something: don't we need money to fund this?

JULIAN
Yeah, that's the tough part. It's gonna be one cheap-looking show.

CHRIS
Oh by the way, I've been meaning to tell you guys I talked to Uncle Nate yesterday. Turns out his name isn't Rich.
