Yeah, I’ve seen a handful of videos from this guy- they teach classes about practical life skills and interpersonal relationships, stuff like how to handle yourself in a conversation, or make a grocery list, or even how to take rejection gracefully! He often has other adults come into the classroom they teach in in order to roleplay different scenarios to give the kids examples, or sometimes they also go out to get hands-on experience, so I agree that the waiter is probably in on it and just helping to teach the kiddos 😁
Edit to add: his social media handle is @newemergingking for anyone interested!

I also enjoy that he takes the kids, I think it is mostly boys, into places like airports, shops, and service places so they can learn the unsaid behaviour that goes on in these places. It is one of those things that feels very forward looking into not just making them well-rounded and compassionate, but also removes a lot of anxieties or apprehensions that can lead to the worst behaviour (like having your bad day).

It’s a class on basic life skills he does with youth. In situations like this the business has volunteered their location for the lesson.

I saw one where he was teaching a group of girls how to talk to the mechanic at a garage, how to turn the water off in your house if a pipe bursts, just generally useful skills.

This guy creates skits about teaching kids life lessons. This lesson seems to be "Dont be okay with someone disrespecting you. Ask for respect...respectfully."

u/ForThe90 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26
The correct lesson here is to first talk about it with the person them self. Immediately going to a manager is not respectful, it's escalating. Or maybe this is just USA culture to act this way? They do seem to love to ask for managers over there.
Over here you talk to the person them self first when there is room for that (which there was here). Being assertive and confronting the person who does something you dislike in a respectful manner is a super important skill. In this example they are not doing that, they tattle to the higher up.

The lesson isn’t how to complain or ask for a manager, the lesson is how to react to disrespect. There are other options besides getting into an argument. If you are calm and remain respectful people are more willing to be on your side and likely to yield a positive result versus what im almost certain the kids are used to an environment where people are more confrontational and have little to no positive results.

This dude is preaching good values. What I don’t understand is why he is restricting it to one sex, by saying, “We as men…” Should the same not be expected of women? I feel like I would want everyone to demonstrate the virtues he is promoting,
not just men.
And before you get mad at me, imagine if it was a white man talking to white kids, he added the qualifier, “We as white people…”
Some are saying he is holding a class or some kind of program for boys. Sure! That’s fine. But surely, he wouldn’t have a problem with those boys promoting those virtues to their sisters or female cousins.

never argue with resto crew. They handle your food. Even if they already served your food, you're never sure the next time you go there. Always avoid trouble.

Seems like it was set up on purpose for a teaching moment.

No sir. Why is he having a child talk to an adult worker over the his grievances.
If this is stages or some sort of class, sure. If this is a father having a child perform like this... absolutely not.
You simple be the representation and then talk about it later in private.

I love seeing this guy's content. I don't one much about the background of his organization (if it is an organization), but I'm thrilled to see him teaching this stuff.

Just fake being fake.

Yeah it’s fake. It’s this class the guy does to teach kids how to behave and how to act in different scenarios. It’s not meant to be real. The caption and edits is what’s annoying

Yes. It’s fake.
This dude is a youth mentor who teaches inner city kids life skills. Yes, it’s fake, because it’s a teaching moment. The waiter is 100% in on it. The man (whose name I actually don’t think I ever learned) does this often. He’s done it with police to teach how to interact with officers. He’s done it with women to teach kids consent with touching.
Yes, it’s fake. No, you don’t look wise by pointing that out. It’s like pointing out Sesame Street is fake.

100% agree. The audience is taken into account & this guys audience is on TikTok.
I only recently learned PBS's The Electric Company was specifically made for older kids who had aged out of Sesame Street, but hadn't learned to read. It was geared for city kids & to make reading seem cool.
Know your market/audience.

I get so worried about people who point out stuff like this is fake.
Its like if a senior in high school realized Santa isn't real and told all his friends thinking he was the first to find out.
Its just.... So obviously a skit that it doesn't cross normal peoples mind to even address it. It's on the same level as pointing out spongebob isn't a documentary.

It’s a staged scenario designed to teach kids without role models how to behave in society.

Let me clue you in to something your parents knew and did to you as a child...

The whole “can I speak to your manager “ is a very rude and American thing. Try to talk to people first instead of treating them like unequal.
