Speaker 1: Another adventure waits for you a ro scout and Layla.

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: My comment wong to. It's imagination time and Curiosity cold.

6
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Curiosity came. It's a magical place. Come troup, Welcome to

7
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Adventures of Curiosity.

8
00:00:50,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: Cal Hello, oh, and welcome back to season three of

00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: Adventures of Curiosity Cove. It's meet Ella the Curious and

10
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: whether you're joining us for the first time or coming

11
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 3: back for more adventures, I'm so thrilled to have you here.

12
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: This season, we'll dive into brand new adventures from my treehouse.

13
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: Think cozy bean bags, fluffy pillows, and of course my

14
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: favorite stuffy row right by my side.

15
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: It's peaceful, almost like my mom.

16
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: Just used her relaxing dream spread, perfect for story time.

17
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 4: So what are we waiting for?

18
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: Let's dive in Billy the Brilliant Part three.

19
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: Billy felt like he'd been launched through a wormhole made

20
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 5: of glitter and cinnamon. Suddenly he was no longer in

21
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: the office. He stood on what looked like an alien

22
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: planet made entirely of jellybean colored gears, disco lights and

23
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 5: glowing wires that arched across the sky like roller coasters,

24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 5: but the place was trashed. In front of him was

25
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 5: a massive glass panel, probably the main viewing screen of

26
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: his brain's mission control, and slumped up against it was

27
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 5: the Sneezele, a sleep standing up. His cheek was smushed

28
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: up against the glass, where cheeto dust and melted chocolate

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 5: streaked like abstract dart. His fur was matted, his sneakers

30
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: were untied and mismatched, and he was drolling slightly. Billy

31
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: didn't laugh. He stepped closer, concerned. On the wall hung

32
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: a proud framed portrait labeled Billy the Brilliant, but someone

33
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: had drawn on it with crayons. The Sneezel now sported

34
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 5: a curly mustache, spiral eye, and a tongue lolling out

35
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: like a dizzy lizard. Buttons smoked, screams fizzled, A tangle

36
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: of wires dangled dangerously from a ceiling vent. A confetti

37
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 5: canyon had misfired into a bucket of slime. Billy knocked

38
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 5: on the glass. The Sneezele stirred.

39
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: Did somebody order a banana trampoline with cheese?

40
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: He hiccuped, then muttered.

41
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Tell the pigeons to stop seeing.

42
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 5: Billy gently took off the goggles. He blinked. Principal Pe

43
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: was watching him with that knowing look. Yep, Billy said,

44
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: he's not okay. I'm gonna have to take your advice,

45
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 5: but I'm not happy about it. Neither was I. My

46
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: doctor said I was this close to diabetes, had to

47
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: change my whole game. But now I eat for me

48
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 5: and my sneezele and life feels better every single day.

49
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: What's diabetes something you don't have to worry about? Because

50
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: I'm giving you the secret early. Now get out of

51
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: my office. Billy there, Oh geez, sorry doing the act again?

52
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: Drama?

53
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: You know? Yeah? Right? Well I should hang my head

54
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: while I walk, I guess yes, but also keep your

55
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: head high. You're a bright kid, Billy. You've got the

56
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: world at your fingertips. Consider yourself lucky to learn this now,

57
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: not when you're a failing math or sitting in a

58
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: doctor's office wondering what went wrong. Yeah, I get the point, thanks,

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: Principal P. Should I tell my friends if you want

60
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 5: them to be as sharp as you. Some might think

61
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 5: you're crazy, but remember crazy's good as long as it's

62
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 5: good crazy. The next morning, Billy stood in front of

63
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: his breakfast like it was a science experiment. Eggs, sliced avocado,

64
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: a little spinach on toast, and a small dish of

65
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: Chucko crunchy os for after He hesitated, then he ate

66
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 5: the eggs first. At school, things were different. He felt calmer, focused.

67
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: He raised his hand after the question. He remembered his homework.

68
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: Missus Wattsguard even gave him a gold star without the

69
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: usual sigh. By lunch time, he could practically feel his

70
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: sneezle doing backflips. In a quiet moment. During recess, Principal

71
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: p passed by, winked, and handed him something wrapped in

72
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: a cloth napkin. Inside was the headset. Billy slid it

73
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: on duck behind a tree and bush. Mission control was spotless,

74
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 5: buttons sparkled, machines hummed, and the Sneezele, he was wearing

75
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: a lab coat and sunglasses, DJing while solving math problems

76
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: on a chalkboard. Captain the Sneezel.

77
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: Saluted today's fuel exquisit. Let me take you on a tour.

78
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: The Sneezele led him through the inner world of his mind,

79
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 5: a jungle gym of genius, control panels labeled for memory, imagination, empathy,

80
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: a playroom with trampolines everywhere, a sticky wall, an animal

81
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: sanctuary filled with the wildest, weirdest facts about every creature

82
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 5: on land and sea. A deep reflection room with a

83
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: bean bag the size of a car where you could

84
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 5: leap on to thought bubbles and ride them to who

85
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: knows where. Billy and the Sneezele laughed, played, bounced, and

86
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: explored for what felt like over an hour. Then they

87
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: both flopped onto a cloud and stared up at the sky,

88
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: a brilliant blue canvas dotted with giant, puffy clouds. They

89
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 5: started pointing out shapes, culling out animals they saw in

90
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: the sky. Then, almost without thinking, Billy turned to the

91
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 5: Sneezel and asked, never wonder what it's all for.

92
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Hmm you mean life?

93
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 5: Billy nodded. I think it's for play, to enjoy ourselves

94
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 5: and take in all the beauty life has to offer.

95
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 5: The Sneezel thought about that, then Billy jilted straight up.

96
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I've been here forever. I gotta get

97
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: back to school.

98
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: Time works different here out there, it just looks like

99
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: you were daydreaming. I'm sure a few of your friends

100
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: tried to get your attention, but you're probably right.

101
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: It's time.

102
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: Let's do this again soon. It gives us both peace

103
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: power and a recharge.

104
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: Billy popped off the goggles and ran back to class.

105
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: That week, Billy was on fire. He answered questions, led

106
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: group projects, help Marcus with his spelling. But the next Monday,

107
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 5: after a long weekend, Billy woke up early for school

108
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: and couldn't help himself. He grabbed a chocolate croissant for breakfast.

109
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: By math class, the fog rolled in his head drooped

110
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: missus Wassgaard. He asked, can I go see Principal P.

111
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 5: A few minutes later, he knocked, using their secret code,

112
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: And as soon as he stepped into the office, I

113
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: messed up, Principal P. I scarfed on a chocolate cross

114
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 5: saw before breakfast, and now I can't get my sneezel

115
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: to work. Truck and croissant? Did you bring me one?

116
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: I'm serious, Principal P. I'm supposed to lead a school

117
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: project today and my brain's totally fried. Principal P smiled,

118
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: You're not broken, Billy just foggy. You want to check

119
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: on your sneezel. Billy nodded and slipped on the goggles.

120
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: Inside the sneezel was staring blankly into the void. His

121
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: eyes were spirals. He was slumped over, totally twilight zoned.

122
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: Billy sprang into action. He handed him to water, helped

123
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: him up, got him to stretch. Then he demonstrated a

124
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: few deep breaths to get the oxygen flowing. The sneezel blinked.

125
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: Oh, that helped, thanks, Captain.

126
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 5: Billy smiled, we'll eat better at lunch. By science class,

127
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: they were back on track, and Billy led the group

128
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: project to the finish line like a pro. Billy isn't perfect.

129
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 5: He still slips up, but from that day forward he

130
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 5: understood protein, veggies, healthy fats, fruit, first party, later, real food, fuels,

131
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 5: real focus, and his sneezle. Billy fed him like the

132
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 5: brilliant partner he was, because when you fuel your brain right,

133
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 5: anything as possible brilliant.

134
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: I am just like the brilliant Billy.

135
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: You wh.

136
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: What us story, sneezles and mega playrooms, all the beautiful

137
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: worlds living inside our heads.

138
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: I think I finally found a name for mine.

139
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400
