1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Short Stories. I need to make sure that you are

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: following this podcast, so right now, I need to make

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: sure that you have smashed that plus sign or the

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: follow left a rating and a review, and that means

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: you're a super duper fan. Well, friends, are you guys

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: ready for a very very cold adventure from my friends

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: in Montana? Oh boy, this is gonna be a good one.

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautifully but cold,

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: snowy day high up in the mountains, and Everest and

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Atlas looked up ahead at the trail that they were

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: about to start hiking on. Atlas, do you have all

13
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: the gear ready? Said Everest. I got it all. It's

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: all ready to roll. You have to know that Everest

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: and Atlas were two of our bravest explorers. You see,

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: they you were tasked with a very important job of

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: building maps. You see, maps don't just appear out of nowhere.

18
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: If you're holding a map, that means somebody has already

19
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: explored there before you. And then they drew a map

20
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: of the location. Well, you see, there's still some mountains

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: out there that have never been truly explored, and that

22
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: is where Everest an Atlas comes in. There's many mysteries

23
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: out there, and the spy team is always trying to

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: uncover all mysteries, both mysteries related to doctor Saintsbreath, but

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: also just mysteries related to the world. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

26
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: The sound of Everest boots could be heard echoing throughout

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the hills nearby. Snow can be very crunchy sometimes, have

28
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: you ever stepped in snow before with some boots. Yes,

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it can be very soft and fluffy and you

30
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: don't hear anything. But other times it's a little harder

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: and icier, and you can hear that. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Atlas was holding up a large piece of paper that

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,279
Speaker 1: was an old map, handed down from generations to generations.

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: All right, it looks like this is where the map ends,

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: said Atlas. They were standing in the place that was

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: the edge of that map. Nobody had ever taken a

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: step further than these two boys. All right, let's do

38
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: it together. One, two three. Everest and Atlas both took

39
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: a step forward. It felt pretty awesome to be in

40
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: a place never before explored. How would that feel if

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you were in a place that was never before explored.

42
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Just close your eyes for a second with me, and

43
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: imagine that you're in a place where there's no other

44
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: footprints around. No one has ever stepped foot where you are.

45
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Is that exciting or a little scary? Maybe there's a

46
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: monster or a creature that we didn't know about because

47
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: no one's ever been there before. And or maybe maybe

48
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: there's something amazing. Maybe there's a brand new thing that

49
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: is just the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world,

50
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: and you're the first to see it. Wow, there's just

51
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: so much possibility in a place nowhere said by far.

52
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: All those thoughts and more were racing through Everest and

53
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Atlas's minds. They couldn't wait to start creating a brand

54
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: new map of this newly explored mountain. Well, you see,

55
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: this is where the story takes a very interesting turn.

56
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Although no one had ever stepped foot where they stood,

57
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: there was somebody up above in the clouds that this

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: was one of theirs very secret hideouts. They're bornean. I

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: see that you have created an ice laser. How did

60
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: you do that?

61
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Well, Boss, it helps when we come out to the

62
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: snow mountains out here, when no one's ever been before,

63
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: and we uncovered some pretty unusual ice activity up in

64
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: these mountains, and we are able to confirm it into

65
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: a laser beam and whenever we blast a laser out,

66
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: it instantly freezes whenever it touches.

67
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: That is wonderful. Can you show me how it works?

68
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: Can we do it right now?

69
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Of course, Boss, We've been wanting to test it as

70
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: a long distance laser. You see up here in the blimp.

71
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: I think we'll be able to reach the laser all

72
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: the way to the ground to freeze stuff. So maybe

73
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: we could try to freeze the spy HQ again, if

74
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

75
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: That is brilliant, my Purple Ninjas. Yes, let us try

76
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: and figure out the way how to freeze HQ again.

77
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: And we just cannot let them melt it because I

78
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: was not expecting that. So is this ice super duper

79
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: cold that will stay frozen forever? Oh?

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: I certainly, Boss, it's very very cold ice. Well, make

81
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: sure that it stays frozen forever. But we first need

82
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: to test out our laser on long distance. Stand back, everybody.

83
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas had just opened a window on the

84
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: side of the blimp and we're about to aim and

85
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: blast that ice laser at a tree on the mountain.

86
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: And oh dear, it is very very close to where

87
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Everest and Atlas are currently walking. This is such an

88
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: awesome mountain, said Everest. I know, but I could really

89
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: use a break, said Atlas, as he sat down up

90
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: again a tree. I just need to drink a little

91
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: bit of water. Atlas leaned up against the tree and

92
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: grabbed his water bottle out of his backpack and took

93
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: a big drink. All right, Atlas, we can't take a

94
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: break too long, because I think the sun is about

95
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: to start setting and we'll need to at least set

96
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: up our tent before nightfall. And just then, out of nowhere,

97
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: there was a giant flash of blue light, like a

98
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: very bright fluorescent glow in the dark kind of blue.

99
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: Everest was thrown back into a big pile of snow. Whoah, oh,

100
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: what in the world was that. As Everest stood up

101
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: and brushed off all the snow from his face and

102
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: his whole body, he called out, Alice, where are you?

103
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Are you? Okay? He didn't hear anything, and all of

104
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: a sudden he turned around and saw something absolutely horrible. Alice, Alice,

105
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: are you okay. Everest raced over to where Atlas was

106
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: leaning up against the tree, and he couldn't believe it.

107
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Somehow the entire.

108
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: Tree and Atlas had turned into a completely solid block

109
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: of ice. Atlas Everest began trying to break open the ice,

110
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: but it was way too cold and way too thick.

111
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I've gotta call this into HQ. I need help.

112
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: I need Bernie sh HQ, HQ, this is Everest.

113
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: Come in.

114
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I have an emergency over sh Everest. This is HQ.

115
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: What's going on? Sh? I don't know what happened, but

116
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: somehow this giant blue light came out of nowhere and

117
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: froze my brother to a tree like a big block

118
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: of ice. Is Bernie available? I really need him to

119
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: get out of here as soon as possible so we can

120
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: melt this sh. We will reach out to Bernie and

121
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: see how quickly he can get out there. Send us

122
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: your location and hanging tight. Did you say something about

123
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: a blue light?

124
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: Sh?

125
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a big blue flash right when this happened.

126
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Why do you ask, sh? Well,

127
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: we just intercepted an encrypted message from the Purple Ninjas

128
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: that they were working on some kind of blue ice laser.

129
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: We will make sure that Bernie the fire breathing Dragon

130
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: gets out there as soon as possible. Over and out. Meanwhile,

131
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: up at the Stinky Lab, Doctor Stinky Breath and the

132
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas, we're celebrating a successful test.

133
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: And did you see that, boss, Look at that tree.

134
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: It completely turned into a giant, solid block of ice.

135
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: A brilliant Yes, I can see that the test has worked.

136
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: So now let's pack up our things in head over

137
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: to HQ. Oh no, it sounds like they're on their

138
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: way to try and freeze HQ again. What in the

139
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: world is gonna happen with Atlas? Is Everest and Bernie

140
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna be able to melt him free in time? Will

141
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: they stop Doctor Stinky Breath before it is too late.

142
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see what happens on the

143
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you listened

144
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: all the way to the end, and you know what

145
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: time it is. It's time for Kurd shout out. I

146
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: want to say hey to Gabriel from Missouri, Jackson from Kansas,

Speaker 1: you on our next adventure. Bye.

155
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 2: M
