Speaker 2: In a row with your kids.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,800

00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of fun along the way.

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: As Joseph was standing there with his back to the

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: basement door, he could feel the giant fly on the

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: other side trying to push his way out. I've gotta

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: call this into HQ. I'm definitely gonna need backup on

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: this one, but my walkie is all the way upstairs,

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: said Joseph. Oh, dear, how am I gonna keep this

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: fly down there. Can't let him get out into my house.

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: He would destroy everything. He's got a pretty good point.

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: That fly is ginormous and would definitely make an even

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: bigger mess than that cupcake did in his kitchen. All right,

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: I gotta find a way to maybe wedge this door shut.

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: Ah.

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: There, I'll grab a chair. He was able to reach

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: a chair just barely, and then he wedged it underneath

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: the doorknob to the basement door. All right, they should

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: hold for now. He could still hear the buzzing on

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: the other side of the door. He raced upstairs as

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: fast as he could. He had to get all of

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: his spike here. But especially he's walkie talking so that

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 1: he could call.

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: It an HQ.

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: HQ. Come in, This is Joseph. Something crazy has happened

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: over sh Hey, Joseph, this is HQ. So what's going on.

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: How's your experiment going with the magna hoop? Sh Oh,

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: it's going I guess you could say it's going.

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's working.

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: But a fly accidentally fluent through the magna hoop and

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: now it's the size of a buffalo. Sh Did you

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: say a fly is now the size of a buffalo.

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Over sh, Yes, that is exactly what I just said.

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: He's I have him locked in my basement right now,

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: but I think he could break down the door. He's huge.

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Sh All right, well, thank you for letting us know.

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: We'll make sure that backup gets to your house as

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: soon as possible. Just make sure that you do not

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: let that fly outside, because if it gets out there,

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: who knows what kind of damage it could cause.

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: Over sh.

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Just then he heard a loud noise.

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: It sounded like the chair fell over has He raced

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: down the stairs as fast as he could.

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: It was too late. The front door had somehow been opened,

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: and the fly was gone.

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: Dun, dun, dun.

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Joseph ran outside and looked up in the sky. He

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: couldn't see anything. That means the fly is on the move,

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh dear. As Joseph ran around his yard, he even

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: looked over at his neighbor's house, the Wilsons. Hey, mister

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: Wilson said, Joseph, have you happened to have seen a

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: flying uh, like something really large flying? Oh?

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Hey, Joseph, No, I haven't seen anything.

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: What do you what do you mean? Fly like a

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: large flying thing like an airplane, no more like a

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: flying buffalo. Oh, Joseph, you're hilarious, said mister Wilson. He

71
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: was grilling in his backyard and it smelled delicious. But Joseph,

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: he was very worried about that giant fly that was

73
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: now on the loose. He knew that he had to

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: run back inside to let HQ know that the fly

75
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: was now on the loose. So as he was heading

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: back inside, he all of a sudden heard mister Wilson screaming, Joseph,

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: holt me. Mister Wilson was screaming for his life, and

78
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: Joseph started running back to where he was has. He

79
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: peeked his eyes over the fence. B there was the

80
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: fly trying to eat mister Wilson's food.

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Ah, mister Wilson, that's what I was talking about.

82
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Run And before miss mister Wilson was able to run

83
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: for his life, he slipped right in the grass. Splat.

84
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: He landed right on his back, and he put his

85
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: hands up over his face. His hands smelled and tasted

86
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: just like all that food. So the giant fly came

87
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: over and stood on top of mister Wilson and started

88
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: to lick at his hands. It couldn't eat me, cried

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: mister Wilson. Joseph had to act fast. He remembered that

90
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: there was some long rope in his garage. Maybe he

91
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: could make a lasso and try and catch the fly in,

92
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, tie him to a tree or something. He

93
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: raced over to his garage as fast as he could,

94
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and there it was. It was a long piece of

95
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: rope that he knew exactly how to tie into a lasso.

96
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: He had done some lassoing practice before on some old

97
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: tree stumps in the backyard, so he was basically a pro.

98
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Joseph grabbed the rope and ran back towards mister Wilson,

99
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: who had now passed out from being absolutely terrified of

100
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: that giant buffalo fly.

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Mister Wilson, it's gonna be okay.

102
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Shouted Joseph as he swung the rope over his head.

103
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: He threw the rope and it landed right over the

104
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: fly's head, who reared back and forth and tried to

105
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: fly away. Joseph started to raise off the ground, holding

106
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: onto the rope. A Joseph was able to grab onto

107
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: the fence post and hold on for dear life. Because

108
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: the fly was very strong, He was barely able to

109
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: tie the rope around the fence post there as the

110
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: fly was trying to fly away. The fence was too strong.

111
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: He had captured this giant fly who just then a

112
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: whole bunch of the team members from HQ arrived in

113
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Joseph's backyard.

114
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Holy smokes, Joseph, you weren't kidding about a giant fly.

115
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: But great job catching him before he got away. That

116
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: could have been a huge disaster.

117
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, said Joseph, as he was helping mister

118
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Wilson off the ground and brush off all the dirt

119
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: and grass that were all over him.

120
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: From rolling on the ground and being tackled by.

121
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: A giant fly. Mister Wilson, are you okay? Oh? Dear, Oh,

122
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what in the world has happened, But.

123
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Did I almost get eaten by a giant fly?

124
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Uh?

125
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: Unfortunately? Yes, I'm so sorry, mister Wilson, said Joseph.

126
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: Wow, great job, Joseph. You not only saved mister Wilson

127
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: from that giant fly, but now our spy team has

128
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: a magna hoop two point zho that is going to

129
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: be really important in stopping doctor stinky breath. I'm not

130
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: exactly sure. How having a hoop on hand that can

131
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: you turn a small cupcake into a giant refrigerator exploding cupcake.

132
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: That's definitely good to have.

133
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: The end, Hey, friends, I need your help celebrating a birthday.
