I'd pop him in the face.

Thank you, shonzi.

I mean, I'd rip his arm off.

I'd be like, "uh..."

-"What are you doing, bro?"

-Yeah.

-"How do you like that?"

-Yeah.

Because you know

that it is wrong.

Yeah, I mean, she's just...

"Get out of my way."

Exactly.

You know what I think

this video is missing?

A man's perspective.

-Hm.

-Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you wanna help me?

-Do a mic check.

-Oh, okay.

- Check.

-Ow.

-Can you hear that?

-Mm-hm.

Hello, hello! Testing!

Do you think you're

gonna be that loud?

I might.

Okay?

Yeah, I don't need

to wear them.

Hello, and welcome

to rainbow time.

I'm your host, shonzi.

And, on tonight's episode,

we're talking about

catcalling.

So stay tuned.

We'll be right back

after this commercial break.

So good! Perfect.

Oh, look, there's

some girls over there.

-Can we talk to them?

-Yes.

Oh, my goodness.

Hey! Hey, wanna be in a movie?

All right,

so tell me,

what are some

of the annoying things

that guys say to you,

you know, on the street.

Sugar tits.

-Really?

-Yeah.

"Baby."

"Let me see you smile."

It's like, "hey, yeah,

oh, sweetie!"

And how does that

make you feel

when they say that crap?

It's just condescending,

it's a comment that becomes

how I'm sexually

relevant to this man

rather than my brain

or other qualities or whatever.

Right.

You're just walking

down the street.

You're not there

to entertain anyone.

It's like,"hey!

I'm just trying to walk here."

-Exactly.

-"Get out of my way!"

-Right.

-Yeah.

You just wanna get to work.

Sometimes you're just

not in the mood.

No. Exactly.

Exactly.

And guys at home,

you don't need to

have a girl smile

to enjoy how hot they are.

Look here...

You're a very pretty lady,

--well, now, you're smiling.

Thank you

for watching rainbow time.

I'm shonzi, and I've

been here with my friend,

-Sara.

-Sara!

-Hey!

-Hey!

That was so good. Thank you.

You're so pretty.

Shonzi, don't...

Okay, all right, okay.

Do you want to

hang out some time?

No, no, stop. Stop!

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I think that's fine, it's okay.

It's not. It's not fine.

Thank you for

doing that for us.

What?

You can't just like,

grab someone

and kiss them like that.

Okay, well, I didn't know.

I thought I'm doing

something good, I'm talking...

You are, you are.

But then, you just

have to let people go,

just you know,

maybe shake hands

or something, okay?

Great.

Cut.

I did cut.

Oh, hey.

Oh, hey.

How are you?

Not good.

Oh, why? What's going on?

Pizza's wheels

are all messed up.

I don't know what's wrong.

Oh...

Who?

Pizza's my dog.

Your dog's name is pizza?

Yeah.

Oh, hey, um...

Justine, this is shonzi,

Todd's brother.

This is my friend, justine.

Yeah, we met last night.

Sort of.

Uh, I mean, yeah,

when I was out smoking.

Smoking? I didn't know

you smoked.

I do.

I like your t-shirt.

Sorry, but I'm just...

I'm not really

in the mood to talk.

I just want to go in,

and just eat

some doritos, please.

I love doritos!

What's your favorite kind?

Cool ranch. Jinx!

Two for flinching.

I didn't flinch.

Yes, look at flinching you.

-Got me.

-Oh, man.

-What?

-Nice biceps.

Oh yeah? You like that?

Yeah, I do like

100 push-ups a day.

Nice.

You know what?

We should have justine

in the movie.

Yes, sure.

Uh...

- Rolling?

- -Rolling.

Uh, so what?

The same questions

i was asking those girls?

Yeah,

do you remember?

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, so okay, this probably

doesn't happen to you

but do you ever have guys

yelling at you on the street?

Oh, yeah.

All the time, I hate that.

I mean, like, catcalling.

Yeah.

Guys?

Yeah.

All the time.

I mean, it's a little

hard to believe

because I mean,

you are kind of ugly,

I mean, not totally ugly,

but I mean...

Shonzi.

Why would you say that?

I just mean, because

these other girls

you didn't see

what we were doing, okay?

You have no idea what

we were in the middle of...

Just give that to me.

Okay, I told you

i didn't wanna do this.

All right? I'm sorry you

didn't see these other girls.

Someone can be beautiful

even though

they are not blonde and...

I'm sorry. Jesus Christ!

I'm really sorry.

Dad.

Wanna check out some

of these girls

me and Lindsay

met today for the video?

Check out this one.

Hot, right?

Did you get her number?

I tried, but she said

she had a "boyfriend."

You're never gonna score

unless you take...

- A shot.

-Right?

-Right.

-See, Lindsay?

My dad always taught me

i got to be confident

like the fonz.

You know, he just

snaps his fingers,

and girls come up to him.

Yeah, um,

sure, but shonzi, I think,

another thing that

making the video

is helping you realize

is that it's not fun

for women to be

sexually harassed.

Right. Feminism.

-Yes.

-Right.

You know what I need,

is pictures of me.

We put them on a website,

maybe for magazines.

Bro, can you take a photo,

just right now, me and dad,

you know, like

in people magazine,

they have the candid shots.

Sure.

Yeah, yeah.

I'd hold out for

vanity fair,

if I was you, though.

Exactly. Thank you, bro.

You know what?

You should get in it, too.

-Come on, bro.

-Okay.

Okay, but Lindsay, be careful

because you might not

wanna delete

the photo that Todd

took of you last night.

I mean, if you guys

have any photos

you don't wanna delete...

What?

What? Did...

Did you show it to him?

No. No.

Lindsay, he didn't

have to, okay?

I only spied on you

so he wouldn't chicken out.

If you're gonna start making

some photos or videos,

you should see these ones

he made with his ex, Lucy.

I mean, a photo

isn't even that kinky.

Oh, my god.

Well, cat's out of the bag now.

Shonzi, when are you

gonna learn to

shut your mouth?

You, knowingly,

let shonzi watch you

take a picture of me

naked.

Yeah.

I mean, why?

Because, he said

he was gonna tell you

about the video

I showed him of me and my ex.

Why would you show shonzi

videos of you

and your ex, anyway?

I don't...

Um...

When mom died,

he went into

a really dark place.

He was a mess,

and he locked himself

in his room

for like, two weeks.

We called it...

Solitary.

Shonzi's in solitary again.

We were worried that he

was going to hurt himself.

So I was kind of trying

everything I could

to get him out.

And...

And it was working.

I mean, I feel bad,

i feel guilty.

He's never gonna

experience that, you know?

I just wanted him

to feel normal.

I mean,

I do...

I understand, kind of,

on some level, but,

that's not treating him

like he is normal.

Like you wouldn't do that

with one of your guy friends.

-Right? I hope.

-No.

Wouldn't be like, "look

at this video," so...

No.

Because you are

doing that with him,

it's saying,

"you're not normal,

"and I need to

do this with you."

I just wish I knew

how we could help him.

Yeah...

I wonder if we could maybe

make this like,

part of my project.

And that could help him

to understand that,
