This has changed our family's life of 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: reducing screen time and just making imagination come alive. Well, 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too. Let's go. 9 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: As Monty and Kai, we're hiding underneath the tree trying 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: to figure out two very big things. One how to 11 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: not be seen by the purple blip that was flagging 12 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: the sky above them, And two, how in the world 13 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: to get the stinky crystal outside of the hippopotamus that 14 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: at an accident least? Well would it? Why cause you 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: have to swallow the crystal. Oh well, let's find out 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: what happens. As Monty and Kai looked at each other, 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: they realized that they had to act quickly and fast. 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: All right, I think if we're gonna be able to 19 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: do what we I think we need to do with 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the do doo, we need to get that hippo to 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: eat a lot of food, said Kai. Do you know 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: like what hippos like to eat. Monty pulled out his 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: Spye manual and turned over to the page of hippopotamuses 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: and looks like they like to eat grass and watermelons. 25 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Did you say watermelons? Said Kai. Yeah, it says right 26 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: here that like one of their favorite things. It's watermelons, 27 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: said Monty. Let's see if Spology Squad can send us 28 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: something to help us with all these watermelons, because I 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: think we're gonna need a lot of them. Sh his 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Biology squad. This is Manty and Kai. We need you 31 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: to send us like a lot of water melons. Sh 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Did you say watermelons? Said Ava. Sh Yes, It's kind 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: of a long story and hard to explain, but basically, 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: we have a hippopotamus that has something in its belly 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: that we need and we so we need the hippopotamus 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: to eat a lot so then he will, you know, 37 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, and then we will be able 38 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: to rescue the thing that's missing. But we just need 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: all a bunch of watermelons. Can you send us some? 40 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Sh well, since watermelons are really heavy, we're gonna need 41 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to dehydrate them, said Ava. I'll have Jaden send you 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: some on the drone, probably a dozen that are dehydrated watermelons, 43 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: and then you just need to pour a little bit 44 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: of water on them and then they will grow into 45 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: real size watermelons. We'll get right on it as soon 46 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: as possible. Over and out. Sh While Monty was on 47 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: the walkie talkie with Spiology Squad, Kai was using his 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: binoculars to keep an eye and that purple blimp in 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: the sky. Have you ever seen the purple blimp before? 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: In the sky, they are always flying around either looking 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: for very very stinky things or just you know, trying 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: to steal stuff. So if you smell something stinky or 53 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: you see the purple blimp, you've gotta let us know. 54 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: So down in the show nuts below find that text 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: sting number and you can text HQ if you see 56 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: or smell something super stinky. But just don't let that 57 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: number fall into the hands of the Purple Ninjas, because 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: we'll give it to doctors to keep breath, and then 59 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: we'll be in big trouble. Holy smoked Manty, look at this. 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: Kai handed Manty the binoculars that he was using to 61 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: look at the purple blimp and pointed and oh no, 62 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: are those purple ninjas wearing scuba suits? Said Manty. Yeah, 63 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: it looks like they're about to jump into the lake 64 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and start looking for the hippopotamus in their scuba suits. 65 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: That sounds dangerous. Those hippopotamuses can be pretty grumpy if 66 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: you come in on their territory, said Monty. And it 67 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: was just then that the drone from spiology squad arrived 68 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and it had a little basket on it. Wait what's 69 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: inside there? Said Kai. They're sending us some watermelons. Wait, 70 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: these are not watermelons. They're super small, said Monty. He 71 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: was holding up about a dozen. It looked like golf balls. 72 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Do you know what a golf ball is? That's how 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: big these watermelons were. You were a little confused. But 74 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: there was a note there that said just add water. Huh, 75 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: that's strange, said Kai. He picked one up and brought 76 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: it over to the lake and just dipped it into 77 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: the water and instantly, whoa, we turned into a diinormous, 78 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: delicious looking watermelon. How did they do that, said Monty. 79 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's genius. All right. We gotta 80 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: start getting these watermelons back to their normal size fast, 81 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: said Kai. They started throwing the watermelons into the water 82 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and they were instantly poof. They expanded into a ginormous watermelon. 83 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: It looked very delicious. Okay, let's put these in this 84 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: grass field over here and hopefully that hippo will come 85 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: out and eat the watermelons, said Monty. Kai and Manty 86 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: both grabbed as many watermelons as they could, but it 87 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: was only one at a time. They had to make 88 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: a lot of trips back and forth from the lake 89 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: from where the watermelons grew from their golf ball seed 90 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: into the field that they needed to be in, and 91 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: pretty soon the trap was set. Well, it wasn't really 92 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: a trap. It was more just a really delicious looking 93 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: snack for that hippo. And it didn't take long before 94 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: that hippopotamus came sniffing up out of the water. Kai. 95 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here. That hippo looks hungry 96 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and don't want to get in the way of him 97 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: and his watermelon, said Monty. Monty and Kai grabbed all 98 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: their stuff and climbed up a tree. You should have 99 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: seen it. That hippopotamus just started eating and swallowing the 100 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: whole watermelons just like home in one bite. His mouth 101 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: was ginormous. It was pretty impressive. There's no way I 102 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: could do that. But that hippo blazed through all the 103 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: watermelons very quickly, and all of a sudden they heard 104 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: a rumble in his tummy. Manty, did you hear that? 105 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: Said Kai? Of course I did. That was the loudest 106 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: tummy rumble I've ever heard, said Monty. And then all 107 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the hippopotamus did what he needed to do, 108 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, And it smelled terrible. 109 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: Manty and Kai couldn't believe it. That was a big 110 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: pile of stuff that they needed to to find. Well, 111 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: hopefully the k stinky crystal was in there. And just 112 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: then a purple Ninja's head popped up out of the water. 113 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: Remember he was in a scuba suit, and the hippopotamus 114 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: turned around and saw him. The hippo did not like 115 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: seeing somebody else in his territory and took off, charging 116 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: towards the purple Ninja. Eh, so many, gimme enymy. The 117 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Purple Ninja took off, swimming as fast as he could, 118 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: being chased by that hippo. The Purple Ninja grabbed onto 119 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: a rope rope that pulled him out of the water 120 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and back into the Purple blimp. All right, as much 121 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: as I don't like saying this, but I think it's 122 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: time we get to work, said Kai. Hand me some gloves. 123 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: Monty put on some gloves and handed Kai a pair 124 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: as well. They needed to start digging through what that 125 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: hippopotamus left behind. Thankfully, it didn't take much longer, and 126 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: they found the stinky crystal. It was very stinky, and 127 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: it made it even more stinkier that it was in 128 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: all that stuff from the hippopotamus. Oh, they cleaned it 129 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: off in the lake and put it in a bag 130 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: and sealed it up and put it in their backpack, 131 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: and off they blasted back to HQ to deliver the 132 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: stinky crystal up on the blimp lab. Doctor Sinky Breath 133 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: was not very happy. Purple Ninjas. 134 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: Why are you so scared of a hippopotamus? He's so 135 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: fat and slow? 136 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: They're not slow, boss, I promise he trying to eat me. 137 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: He was so fast in the water. I don't care. 138 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: All I care is we don't have stinky crystal. And 139 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: it looks like it's gone now. It's not on our map. 140 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: The radar with that red blinking thing is. 141 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: Gone and it's all your fault. Ninjas.
