It was a beautiful fall day and 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: Landon was getting ready for football. He loved playing football 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: and was so excited to finally be on a real team. 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: Have you ever played on a real team before? Maybe 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: soccer or or basketball, baseball? There are so many different 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: fun sports to play, and Landon really loved football. All 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: the equipment, like the helmet and the pads and the jersey. Oh, 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: it was so cool when you put it all on. 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: As his family loaded up in the car to drive 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: over to the field, he just couldn't wait to make 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: some awesome plays out with his team. All right, Landon, 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: we're almost there. When we get there, do you need 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: help with carrying all your gear over to the field. No, 27 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't need help. I got this, said Landon. There 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: was a lot of gear that he needed to carry, 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: and it was pretty heavy, but Landon was extra strong. 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: His parents parked the car and out he hopped, grabbing 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: his bag and throwing it over his back. And it 32 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: was really heavy. 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh oh it's it's not as bad as it. 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I can do this, said Landon. It was very heavy, 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: but he was going to do it. He dragged the 36 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: bag all the way to where his team was. You see, 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: they had to do some initial warm ups before they 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: would put on all their pads and stuff. So all 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: the the equipment was in a big pile, and so 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: he added his bag next to the pile. 41 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: All right, team, I need you to do three laps. 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Ready, go, shouted the coach Landing, and all the teams 43 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: started running around the field. Three laps. That was a 44 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: lot of running, but it was important to get ready 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: for the game. Hey guys, how you doing, said Landon 46 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: as they were all running together. Hey, Landing, we're doing great. 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: You get Oh, there's a lot of running. Oh, holy cow, Landing, 48 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: slow down, no way, said Landon. We gotta do this 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: fast to get ready. Landon and the whole team was 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: running their first lap around the field. Hey, Landon, who's 51 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: that guy over there by our equipment? Landon turned around 52 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: and looked as he was running there was Holy smokes, 53 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: that's that's a purple ninja, said Landon. The purple ninja 54 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: dropped something amidst all the equipment that was in that 55 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: big pile, all their helmets and pads and all the 56 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: stuff for football. And Landon was on the other side 57 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of the field. Hurry, guys, we have to get over 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: there and see what he just dropped in there fast. Yeah, 59 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: but who is that? Said one of his teammates. I 60 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: can't exactly answer that question right now, but he's not 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: a good guy. We got a hurry. As they were 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: running around the field to get back to their equipment, 63 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: that purple ninja vanished. Landon was the first to arrive 64 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: all the equipment. Oh, it smells horrible. What happened here 65 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: is they were digging around in their equipment. Landon found it. 66 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: There's a stink bomb in here. Oh gross. The whole 67 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: team started plugging their noses. Ah, that is terrible, Landed. 68 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: Did you know that guy? Is he like playing a 69 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: prank on us? Said one of his teammates. Oh that 70 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: does smell pretty bad, said Landon. No, well, yes, I 71 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: do know. I can't really talk about it. It's kind 72 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: of a secret. All I know is that we gotta 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: clean this off fast before that stink just settles into 74 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: our equipment. That would be terrible if we play the 75 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: game smelling like that. The whole team spread out their equipment, 76 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: hoping that the smell would go away, but unfortunately, it 77 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: only got worse. Coaches, coaches come to the center field, 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: said the refs. The coaches from both teams ran out 79 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: to the center field talking to the refs. 80 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: This game has been canceled due too smelly equipment on 81 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: both teams. Go home and wash and make sure that 82 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: you're ready for the next game, said the refs. 83 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: Oh no, said Landon. He was so bummed that their 84 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: first game had been canceled. Wouldn't that be really sad? 85 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Uh? 86 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't like when my games get canceled? What about you? Yeah? 87 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: Mean either? Well? Landon grabbed all of his equipment and 88 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: his parents said, there's no way, we're letting that in 89 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: our car. Uh? But what am I supposed to do 90 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: with it? Said Landon? Uh, huh, gross. I guess we'll 91 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: have to maybe put the windows down as we're driving. 92 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: All right, let's hurry up and get home and get 93 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: those things washed. Landon loaded up the car with all 94 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: that smelly equipment, said goodbye to all of his teammates, 95 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and off he drove with his family. When they got home, 96 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: they immediately started washing the equipment, but there was nothing 97 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: they could do to get rid of that terrible smell. 98 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: Have you ever had something smell really stinky before? Yes? Yeah, 99 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: sometimes my socks can get pretty stinky. Oh gross, So 100 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: we need to put him in the washing machine, right yeah, 101 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: and get them all clean. Well, football equipment and some 102 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: things are kind of hard to wash. So his parents 103 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: filled a big bucket up with water and soap and 104 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: told Landon that all that stuff needed to soak in 105 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: that soapy water overnight, at least overnight, and hopefully that 106 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: would get rid of the smell. Unfortunately, day after day passed, 107 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: it had been a whole week, and the smell had 108 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: only gotten worse. It had gotten so bad that they 109 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: had to keep all that stuff outside, and worst of all, 110 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: it had affected every single team in the whole wide world. 111 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: All sports equipment had become completely smelly stinky. 112 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: W oh, Burbon Ninjas, what have we done? 113 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: This is such a marvelous plan that they just could 114 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: not have done without you. Thanks boss. 115 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, those stink pops worked perfectly when we dropped 116 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: them in all the sports equipment piles. And now that 117 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: all the teams are really smelly, there's no more sport games, hi, 118 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: which means no more fun. 119 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: That is perfect. And you're sure that the stinky stuff 120 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: it can't be washed away right your shirt? 121 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: Oh definitely. There's no soap in the all wine world 122 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: that has ever existed that could get rid of this 123 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: stink or making the world stinky? 124 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, what have the Purple Ninjas done to make 125 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: all of the sports equipment in the world stinky?
