Starting a new school year may 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: feel a little nervously, but it's also super duper awesome. Well, 22 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Alex was getting ready for that very first day of 23 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: school when he was looking for his shoes. He was 24 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: looking everywhere his closet, underneath his bed, even behind the toilet, 25 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: which I don't even know why would he even look there, 26 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: because how would your shoe end up behind the toilet? 27 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I guess when you have something lost, 28 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: do you look in every single place possible? Right? Yeah, Well, 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: finally he heard the best news ever, Alex, your shoes 30 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: were in the car. Hurry, we gotta get going. You 31 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: found my shoes, said Alex. He was so relieved. They 32 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: were his brand new school shoes that he was going 33 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: to be wearing to this first day of school, and 34 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: he forgot that he left him in his car. He 35 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: had actually put them there the day before so that 36 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: they wouldn't get lost, and then he forgot that he 37 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: put him there. Uh, this day is not off to 38 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: a very good start. I hope it gets better, but 39 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: unfortunately something crazy is about to happen. As Alex climbed 40 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: into his parents car, he jumped in his seat, clicked 41 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the buckle, and off they were on the road. Thankfully, 42 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: his school was pretty close to where he lives, so 43 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be as super duper along drive 44 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and on the way they were going to listen to 45 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: their favorite music. What do you like to listen to 46 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: in the car maybe while you're going to school? Do 47 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: you have some favorite music you like to listen to, 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: or or maybe even some Kids Your Stories podcasts? Right? Yes? Well, parents, 49 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: did you know that we actually have different podcast feeds? Yeah, 50 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: so Kids Short Stories is one feed, and then there's 51 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: a ton of other stories on our Spiology Squad podcast 52 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and our Kids Animal Stories podcast. So you have to 53 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: make sure that you're subscribed to all three of those 54 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: so you don't miss out on any of our awesome stories. 55 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: Well that's what Alex was listening to on his way 56 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: to school. He was on Spiology Squad, but he also 57 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: like to listen to the stories to catch the latest 58 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: updates on what Dr. Stinky Breath might be up to. 59 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: But then Alex looked up at the clock in his 60 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: car to check the time and he said, wait a second, 61 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: are we we're not at school yet? Are we gonna 62 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: be late? I'm not sure, Alex said his parents. This 63 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: red light feels like it's been red forever. And look, 64 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: all the other lights are around here are all red too. 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: Alex pressed his face up against the window in his 66 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: car and saw exactly what they were saying. Every single 67 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: stoplight had turned red, even the stop like you know 68 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: of the other direction. Like nobody was moving. He leaned 69 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: up even further to see the next street, and the 70 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: next street and the next street. Every single stop light 71 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: I turned red. Nobody was moving? What is going on? Meanwhile, 72 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: high up in the clouds up above, doctor stinky Breath 73 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: was laughing that his evil plan was actually working. Ninja, 74 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: Please tell me how did you pull this off? Yeah? 75 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: I can see that every single stoplights in the Soul 76 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: City is doing red and nobody can move anywhere. No school, 77 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: no verk no nothing, only bad traffic. I love bad traffic. Well, bus, 78 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: We actually programmed this robot to walk around the whole city, 79 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: and it has some special laser eyes. When it looks 80 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: at a stoplight with those laser eyes, it instantly turns 81 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: it to red. Thou Pepper, Ninjas, that is great to hear. 82 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: How can we mix us? It's this robot knows exactly 83 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: what to do and where to go. Can we make 84 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: him go to other cities as well to take over 85 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: all of the stop lights. Oh yeah, but I swear 86 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: I have the control ham from way up here at 87 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the lamp. And uh, looks like he's writing a little 88 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: bit low at battery, so he'll need to stop for 89 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: a charge somewhere. But now, what's he's fully charged that 90 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: we'll have I've had over to the next city. I 91 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: love it, pepon. Yes, it was now eight oh seven, 92 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: which means that school had started seven minutes ago. Well, actually, 93 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: it wasn't only Alex that was late to school. It 94 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: was the entire school. The whole school was late, and 95 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: so they weren't even able to start on time. The teachers, 96 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: the principles, everybody was stuck in bad traffic. Alex heard 97 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: a buzz coming from his backpack. He reached in, unzipped 98 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: the top and pulled out his walkie talking sh this 99 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: is Alex, Alex, this is HQ. We need your help. 100 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: Based on your GPS location, it looks like you are 101 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: stuck in the same gridlock of traffic that many of 102 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: our other agents are. Yeah, I knew there must be 103 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: something crazy going on, So what's the mission? Sh We 104 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: believe that there is a robot walking around the city 105 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: with laser eyes able to control the stoplight. Holy smokes, 106 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: I see him right now, said Alex. It was It 107 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: was true. Alex was looking out the window and there 108 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: it was a giant robot walking down the street. Boom 109 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: m s Alex, we need you to chase down that 110 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: robot and see if there's a way that you can 111 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: stop him. Hurry. Before even Alex was able to get 112 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: a word out of his mouth to ask his parents, 113 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: they knew that he had to go save the day. 114 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: Go Alex, go, they shouted as he jumped out the 115 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: door of the car. But then all of a sudden, 116 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: the robots started to do something very strange. It was 117 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: like opening up a compartment in the back of it. 118 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: It was like reaching around owned into its back and 119 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: it's it's pulling out a charging cable. Alex knew exactly 120 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: what he had to do. That robot was standing over 121 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: by a whole bunch of charging stations, you know for 122 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 1: cars to charge themselves. But it looks like that robot 123 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: needs a charge. Alex knew immediately what he had to do. 124 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: He had to get that cord. He ran over as 125 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: fast as he could and grabbed one of his net 126 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: blasters out of his spy pack. All right, I think 127 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: I only got one chance at this, said Alex as 128 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: he aimed it up, and the net blaster flew out 129 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: and grabbed onto the charger right out of the robots 130 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: and he was able to pull it away. Oh dear, 131 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: now the robot sees Alex run, Alex run. Alex took off, 132 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: running as fast as he could with the robot close behind. 133 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: Alex was running as fast as he could with that 134 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: robots charging chord in hand, when all of a sudden 135 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: m h m hm m hm, the robot ran out 136 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: of batteries. Holy smokes. I didn't realize that robot was 137 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: just gonna run out of batteries that fast, But Alex 138 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: did it. He grabbed his walkie talkie called it in 139 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: h Q, and HQ was able to reset all the 140 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: stoplights to their normal working order, and everyone continued on 141 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: their day. Except but in the world happened on there? 142 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: Why do I see so many green lights? But unfortunately, 143 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: a robot ran out of batteries. Oh did that happen? 144 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: I thought you said that he just needed to charge 145 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: it up. Well, unfortunately, the charging came up for our 146 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: robot is missing now very get another one.
