I need you on the spy team and 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: you have to listen close and look carefully. Down in 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: the show notes below is the very stop secret phone 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: number for HQBE. This is where we send out all 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: of our communication to our spies. So if you look 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: in the show notes below and send us a text, 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: then we can send you all of the challenges and 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: let you know if the Purple Ninja's or Doctor Sinky 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: Breath are in your area. Friends, are you ready for 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. It was a beautiful 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: day as Monty and Kai. We're driving on the school 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: bus on the way home after a great day at school. 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: As the school bus came to a squeaky stop, the 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: doors opened and Monty and Kai grabbed their backpacks and 16 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: walk down the steps out the door of the school bus. 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: They waved by to their friends as the bus zoomed off. 18 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: What do you want to do today? Said Kai? I 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: think we should definitely keep working on our fort What 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: do you think? Yes, let's do that. Monty and Kai 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: raced back to their house to get to their backyard. 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: This was where they were building their fort. It was 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: made of a whole bunch of sticks and branches and 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: trees that they had found in the forest nearby. They 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: had been building the structure for many, many weeks. It 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: was big enough for them to both go inside and 27 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: even stand up. Have you ever built a fort before? 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: They can be a really fun thing to do outside 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: with friends. And Kai and Monty were both very good 30 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: fort builders. But all of a sudden they heard that sound. Hey, 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: looks like we got message. Let's check it out, Monty 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: and Kai, this is HQ. We have stumbled onto a 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: new location of a stinky crystal. It appears to have 34 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: been accidentally swallowed by a giant hippopotamus. We will send 35 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: you the coordinates and it's your job to recover that 36 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: very stinky crystal before doctor stinky Breath and Professor sticky 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: fingers get their hands on it. Good luck. Manty and 38 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Kai froze and looked at each other. Did they say? 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: A hippopotamus swallowed it? Said Monty, like, one, how did 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: that happen? And two? How are we gonna get it 41 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: out of the belly of a hip hop? I don't 42 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: even want to think about it. Kai closed his eyes 43 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: and shivered. They both knew what it might mean of 44 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: how they were gonna get back that stinky crystal. Do 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: you guys remember what the stinky crystal is? Yes, it's 46 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: a crystal that doctor Stinky Breath has wanted to for 47 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: a very long time. And I guess there's more than one. 48 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: And if he gets his hands on that stinky crystal, 49 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: it will give him stinky powers. Oh, we cannot let 50 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: that happen. Meanwhile, up in the purple blimp, high up 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: in the sky, Professor Sticky Fingers was on to a 52 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: new plan. Oh boy, doctor, come over here, look at 53 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: our stinky radar. It's going beeppeppeep. I think I found one. 54 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: What are you talking about, Professor? You'd better be talking 55 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: about the stinky crystal because the last one says we 56 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: stole those spy teams they took it back. All right, 57 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: it'd better be good news about Do you know where 58 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: the location of another stinky crystal it is? Oh? Boy, 59 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: of course I do. Look at this. Professor Sticky Fingers 60 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: was looking at a big screen and had a flashing 61 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: red dot in the middle of a map. You mean 62 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: our stinky red are actually fucks? Wow? Oh, those purple 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: ninjas actually did something goodsyes time. Okay, professor, Well, let's 64 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: put in some coordinates for that red flashing light and 65 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: turn our purple blimp towards findings at crystal. Then we 66 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: will be able to make the world very very stinky. 67 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: Back at Monty and Kai's house, they were grabbing all 68 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: their spy gear and they were gonna need all of 69 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: it for this very unknown mission of protecting the stinky 70 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: crystal from doctor Stinky Breath. But that crystal was inside 71 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: the belly of a giant hippopotamus. All right, you got 72 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: your jet pack, said Monty. It's all ready to go. 73 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Let's roll, said Kai. Kai and Manty blasted off with 74 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: their jetpacks, zooming towards the clouds. They had the coordinates 75 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: of this hippopotamus. It was pretty far away, but their 76 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: jetpacks would get them there very quickly. So Kai, uh, 77 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: do you have any ideas of how we're gonna get 78 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: the stinky crystal out of the hippopotamus, asked Monty. Kai 79 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: took a deep breath and said, yeah, I've been thinking 80 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: about that for a while. I'm pretty sure that we're 81 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to get a little extra stinky to get 82 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: the stinky crystal, if you know what I mean. Monty 83 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: shook his head. They both understood the mission. They were 84 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: gonna need to go digging through some hippo poop Ooh 85 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: oh goodness, gracious, Uh do you think you could do that? Oh? 86 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad Manti and Kai are on the spy team 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: because that takes some super special skills. That is not 88 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: a part of spy training. I don't think we're certified 89 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: in hippopotamus poop, but uh, you know, sometimes the job 90 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: for some extra bravery and maybe even something to plug 91 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: your nose with. As Monty and Kai were zooming through 92 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: the clouds, they could see off in the distance the 93 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: place where it was believed where the hippopotamus lived. You 94 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: see hippopotamuses. Do you think they live in the desert 95 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: or in the water, Yes, very much. In the water. 96 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: They are They live pretty much their entire life in 97 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: the water. They're very good swimmers and very fast and powerful. 98 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: You never want to step foot in the same water 99 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: as a hippopotamus because they can be actually very dangerous. 100 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: Did you know that hippopotamus is killed more people than lions. Yeah, 101 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: that's pretty dangerous. I don't know how close these two 102 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: spies are gonna want to get to a hippopotamus. But 103 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: it's a good thing they brought their spy gear with 104 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: them because I think that is gonna help them out 105 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: play a bit. As they started approaching the lake where 106 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: it was believed that the hippopotamus was, they thought they 107 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: saw something in the clouds. Hey, Monty, did you see 108 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: that over there? Said Kai. He was pointing to a 109 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: big cloud that looked like there was something behind it. No, 110 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. What was it, said Monty. I 111 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know. It looked like, I don't know, something really 112 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: big behind the cloud. I gotta go check it out. 113 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Monty flew down towards the ground and laying it on 114 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: the lake as Kai flew around to get a better 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: look at what was behind that cloud over there. Monty 116 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: started unpacking some of his spy gear on the beach 117 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: there because he wasn't exactly sure what he was going 118 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: to need in order to find this hippopotamus that swallowed 119 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: the stinky crystal. But then Kai started shouting for him. 120 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Manti Banty, gets down, hide under that tree over there, 121 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: shouted Kai. Monty grabbed all of his gear and listened 122 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: to Kai. Wait, what did you see over there? What 123 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: is it? Said Monty, I just saw the purple blimp 124 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: for real. I don't know how in the world they 125 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: always seem to know everything what's going on, but I 126 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: think doctor Stinky Breath is here to steal the stinky crystal. 127 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? Shouted Kai? What in the 128 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: world are Manty and Kai going to do? They need 129 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: to ask act fast if they're going to save this 130 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: stinky crystal and not let the Professor and the doctor 131 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,359 Speaker 1: get it and take over the world through their ultrapower stinkiness. 132 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Oh dear, I don't know what's gonna happen, but we're 133 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to wait and see what happens on the 134 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: next episode of Kids Short Stories.
