WEBVTT - E1 | How It All Started

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, fam, Before we get back to the show, I

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have some major news to tell you. For over a year,

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been building a brand new app called Button Plus

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>spelled bttn. So if you love our shows like Miles

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the Brave, Pixel Quest or Critter Protectors Parents, you're gonna

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>need to download our Button plus app to get unlimited

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>access to all of our Story Button and Mister Jim

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>shows completely add free. Thank you to everyone who has

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>supported us so far. It's truly amazing to have you

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a part of our family. From all of us here

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>at Story Button, we really couldn't continue to do this

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>without you, so it would be really helpful to us

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>if you went to the app store and searched for

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Button spelled bttn, gave it a download and a five

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>star review, that would be awesome.

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, and now back to.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The show.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Critter Protectors. It's crazy to think just how little those

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 3>two words meant to me a few short years ago.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, maybe the word critter would have gotten my attention,

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 3>but all I could think about that summer after fifth

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 3>grade was how glad I was that school was finally over.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I think what I was really craving was an adventure,

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 3>something beyond just myself, the classroom or my little hometown.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 3>And boy did I ever get it. The truth is,

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>our story started a lot like any story with a villain. There.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 3>We were suddenly blindsided by a huge problem. We had

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 3>no training, barely any experience, and we were mostly just

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>kids ourselves. Just like that, we were thrown into one

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 3>of the craziest missions of all time. Almost overnight, we

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>became detectives, high speed chase experts, environmental scientists, and the

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 3>team responsible for.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Saving the world. But I'd better not give it away.

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Just like that, Let's start at the beginning, Critter Protectors

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>day one. Since summer break had just begun in our town,

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>all the camps, sports programs, and public beaches were packed

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 3>with people. Everywhere just seemed a little more crowded and

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 3>a little more alive. Our town's famous biology squad team,

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 3>mister Jim Jaden and Ava were single handedly saving the

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>world time and time again. Doctor Stinky Breath, that smelly

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 3>villain kept them on their toes, for sure, but they

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>never failed to put him back in his place. He

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>always landed right back up in his purple blimp with

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>those sneaky purple ninjas. Even when Doctor Stinky Breath thought

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 3>up another terrible plans, Biology Squad seemed to defeat him.

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Just the same.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Things on the villain front were pretty normal and pretty controlled.

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 3>But then everything changed. This is when our story began.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 3>This is when the Critter Protectors made a name for ourselves.

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Once the situation mister Jim over, Uh, hey, Luke, I've

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>got a huge problem.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 4>Over Where are you.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Over, I'm I'm at the Force Preserve esive HQ. You

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>know the one with that really winding path. Yeah, that's

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the one.

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Got it heading your way now?

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Ten four.

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 3>The beginning of the story is a bit tricky to follow.

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Mister Jim was supposed to be busy with this biology squad,

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and animal rescues weren't usually part of the job. The

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 3>problem was, critter rescues were becoming pretty frequent around town,

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>people constantly calling in and animals stuck in strange situations.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>All the rescues were becoming very time consuming, which is

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>why mister Luke joined the team as head Gritter Protector.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 3>And now the real problem was starting to show its face.

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Shit, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you.

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And oh I wish I could say the same for

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>whoever set this trap. It just doesn't make any sense.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I just wish there was some kind of like release

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>rope on this net. Oh there's my backup. Those tire

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>sounds didn't help us much. Now you're even more tangled

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in this mess.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 2>How are you kidding me?

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 4>A bobcat and I knew they lived around here, but

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I never seen one wild like this.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>But wait, a net trap? This makes no sense, you're

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>telling me.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean when you said a huge problem, I thought

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 4>maybe you had a possum by the tail or baby

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 4>rabbit's about to freeze to death, or luke.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>It's summer frozen to death, and a possum by the tail.

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 4>As I was saying, I didn't expect to see such

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 4>an angry predator so.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>So deliberately trapped.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, there's definitely something fishy about this. Whoever caught

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>this guy definitely didn't do it by accident.

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, either way, we need to get him free without

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 4>hurting him or him hurting us, that is.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I have anything on me to cut

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>him loose hold on. I should have something in the jeep.

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Let's see essentials. Essentials where are you.

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah?

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 4>Ha, I knew these scissors would come in handy someday.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Ha.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>And that bag of beef jerky?

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Jim, do you want some beef jerky?

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll pass on the snacks. And don't you think it

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>might be a bad idea to bring meat around this,

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>oh bobcat.

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, come to think of it, that's a pretty terrible idea. Well,

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 4>I found these little guys. I knew they'd come in

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 4>handy someday.

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess those little things will do with the job.

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>But those have to be the smallest scissors ever made.

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey, at least I'm prepared. Okay, okay, you're right.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Um. I think our best bet is to try and

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.679
<v Speaker 1>cut the rope loose from above. Then we can figure

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>out where his paws are caught in the netting it.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 4>I'll climb up there. You just make sure he doesn't

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 4>somehow come after me. In the meantime we'll do. Okay,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 4>not too bad so far. Just a little further.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Those things making a debt on that rope at all.

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Patience, patience, just a little bit.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>More, and.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Quick jump down here.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>We need to hold his net down flat before he

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>gets it tighter on his paws.

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.119
<v Speaker 2>There his left paw. That's what's stuck.

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Jim. Just keep holding that net. I can get it

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 4>in a one snip.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm lucky. Okay.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Count of three, one, two, three, and he's free.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Quick flipped your side.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh, Jim, what is he doing?

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Why is he frozen like that?

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Why is he staring at us and purring?

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what.

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Grab that branch and like, I don't know, make a

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>sound against the tree or something, scare him off.

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that was really weird. Did you see his eyes?

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 4>It was like he was in a trancer, like sleepwalking,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 4>or like some kind of robot mind control. Okay, okay,

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 4>maybe let's not go quite that far.

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's just all suspicious though, don't you agree? Yes?

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 4>But do we know who whoever set this trap actually

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 4>wanted to catch a Bobcat?

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Well? I don't know for sure, but look a can

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of cat food. Huh.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was for the bobcat. Holy smokes, it's two

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty already. I've got to be back at HQ to

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>meet Jayden in five minutes. Oh we're supposed to meet

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>up to test all the jetpack batteries today.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh mind if I catch a ride with you.

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, no problem, I'm heading back there anyways.

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 3>And if only this whole story was that simple. But

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 3>mister Luke and mister Jim knew something or someone was

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 3>behind it all. And man, this was just the beginning.

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 4>So I think this guy makes sixteen rescues and that's

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 4>just this week alone.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen rescues. Yeah, but now it seems like, hm, we

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>need to start the count over again. Like fifteen simple

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>rescues and one animal saved from an actual trap.

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I mean I've felt swamped before, but if this

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 4>is the new type of thing we're trying to handle, well,

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure how much longer I could keep this

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 4>one man job going.

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>You're right, Luke, I mean fishing, boating, hiking, picnics makes

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>sense that there were more opportunities for animals to be

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 1>in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>hope this Bobcat incident was just some kind of misunderstanding.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 2>What was that? I think? So something just popped our

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 2>tire quick all over up here?

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Wow, Jim, you're right, something completely punctured this thing when

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 4>the world was that. It's like someone sliced through half

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 4>the tire. I'll call it toe truck. I don't even

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 4>have the spare tire in the back right now. This

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 4>thing is definitely not drivable.

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>One agree with you, but I need to let Jayden

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>know I'm not gonna make it back. Hey, we got

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a flat tire. I need to schedule or tomorrow. Send yes,

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>right off wind road. It's a jeep that says credit Protectors.

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 4>On the back.

0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 2>You won't miss us.

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'll go look back over there on the road

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>like maybe it was a scrap metal or I don't know,

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>something we didn't see. Huh, Okay, let's see. There's there's
