That is probably one 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: of the most fun parts of this whole time, right, 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: what are your favorite things to decorate? I love when 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: there's lots of bright lights outside and at nighttime you 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: can drive through neighborhoods or drive past houses that are 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: decorated it is. That's really cool. But you know another 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: thing I really love about this time of year. Hot chocolate. Oh, 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: hot chocolate and marshmallows. What is your favorite way to 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: drink hot chocolate? Do you like marshmallows in there? I 27 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: definitely do. My favorite is a mint hot chocolate with marshmallows. 28 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: Holy smoke, sirt. I need to go get some right now, 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: hold on, ah, much better. All right, back to the story. Oh, 30 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: it's getting pretty late, said Logan, as they were both yawn. 31 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: They had cuddled up on the couch and we're looking 32 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: at all their decorations that they had set up and 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: drinking hot chocolate. All right, it has been a very 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: fun day, but a long day too, said their mom. 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: And that means it's definitely time for bed. But don't forget. 36 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: We have to follow the directions that the tree farmer 37 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: told us about adding the tree food and water to 38 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the bottom of the Christmas tree. That is a really 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: important step. So who wants to do it? 40 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: Maybe me? 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: Maybe I want to do it. 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Both Logan and Gavin wanted to do it, and so 43 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: they did it together. They got a big bucket of 44 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: water and added a little bit of the tree food 45 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: and poured it into the bottom of the tree stand 46 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: where the tree was sitting on. Okay, now it's time 47 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: for bed, they both said. As they brought their comfy 48 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: blankets up to bed, they instantly fell asleep. S. Do 49 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: you know if you snore while you sleep? I actually do. Yeah. 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: My wife she tells me that I snore sometimes, But 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't know because I've never heard myself snore. Oh wait, 52 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: that's because I'm sleeping when I'm snoring. And oh yeah. 53 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Well the next morning was a beautiful morning. 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: And everybody all stretched their arms, and Logan and Gavin 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: were both very hungry for a delicious breakfast. 56 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: As they raced downstairs, Logan was the first one, and oh, 57 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: what's the terrible smell? Gavin? Is that you? No, it 58 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: wasn't me, said Gavin, But I smell that. That's gotta 59 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: be dad. 60 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: Dad, what's that smell? 61 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Their parents had barely woken up and came rushing out 62 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: of the bedroom. Wait, what's wrong are you guys? 63 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: Okay, what's that? 64 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: Oh? What's that smell? They both said. It was at 65 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: that moment that all four of them realized that nobody, 66 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: at least the four of them had not tooted, but 67 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: that smell it was disgusting. They had to find a 68 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: way to get rid of that awful, awful smell. Hey, Logan, 69 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: the tree looks weird. Am I going crazier? Kind of 70 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: looks purple, said Gavin as he was rubbing his eyes. 71 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: Logan's eyes got really big as he looked at the tree, 72 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: and Yeah, I think you're right, it is turning purple. 73 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Wait a second, said Logan. Everything we've ever learned about 74 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: being on the spy team is we always got to 75 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: keep our nosees ready for something stinky and her eyes 76 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: ready to see something unusually purple. And I'm pretty sure 77 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: this morning both of those boxes have been checked. We've 78 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: got to call in at HQ, said Logan. Gavin and 79 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: Logan race back to their room to grab their walkie 80 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: talkies to call into HQ. 81 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: HQ, HQ, come in. This is Logan and Gavin over sh. 82 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on, guys. 83 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: It's great to hear from you. 84 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: Said HQ. 85 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: Well, it's not going very well. Something weird is going 86 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: on at our house. Something smells terrible, and our Christmas 87 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: tree seems to be turning purple. Have you heard anything 88 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: about this. 89 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: Sh Oh, no, it's happening to you too. Yes, we 90 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 4: have received many, and I mean many reports from Spy 91 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 4: Team members all around the world who are reporting smelly, 92 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 4: stinky trees that are turning purple. It's gotta all be 93 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: connected to you know who. Sh Yes, that's what we're thinking. 94 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 4: Are there any other clues or do you need us 95 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: to start looking into it? Over sh Yes, Logan and Gavin, 96 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: we need you to start looking into this and let 97 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 4: us know anything that you find. 98 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: Over and out. Hey, guys, come down here. We're pretty 99 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: sure the smell is coming from the tree, shouted their dad. 100 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: Logan and Gavin race as fast as they could down 101 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: to where the tree was, and sure enough, not only 102 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: was their tree turning purple, but it seemed to be 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: the source of the stinky smell. Okay, we have to 104 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: talk about this. So what in the world changed because 105 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: that tree was a normal tree yesterday when we got 106 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: it from the mountain, said Gavin. So what changed between 107 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: then and now because it was not purple or stinky yesterday. 108 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: They all started to scratch their heads and think about 109 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 1: what had changed since yesterday. That's a really important part 110 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: of being on the Spy team. When something crazy happens, 111 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: you have to think about, all right, what is different 112 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: about before the crazy thing happened? Of you know, the 113 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: stinky purple tree, what changed between now and then? Because 114 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: most likely if something changed between yesterday and today, for 115 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: this Christmas tree, for example, that might be the cause 116 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: of why it is turning purple and becoming very very stinky. Well, 117 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: I guess we added that tree food to the tree 118 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: last night. You don't think that would do this, said Gavin. 119 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: They raced over and grabbed the tree food. When they 120 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: looked inside of the bag, they noticed that it was purple. 121 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Oh this does smell pretty weird too, said Logan. I 122 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: didn't even notice that before. You don't think the tree 123 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: farmer was trying to like trick us or something. Their 124 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: mom walked over and said, I just checked with a 125 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: whole bunch of neighbors who went to different places, not 126 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: even the same place that we got our tree. But 127 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: everyone is talking about their very very stinky tree. All right, Well, 128 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: until we get this figured out, let's get the tree 129 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: out of the house because I can barely breathe, said 130 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: their dad as they all dragged the Christmas tree out 131 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: the back door to sit it in the backyard. They 132 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: opened some windows to let in some fresh air. Logan 133 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: and Gavin sat down at the table and looked at 134 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: each other. I think Doctor Stinky Breath and the Purple 135 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: Ninjas are trying to ruin Christmas for everyone, said Logan. 136 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: If they've actually been able to pull this off and 137 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: make this happen to all the Christmas trees around the world, 138 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: just imagine what else they're capable of. They might be 139 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: able to completely destroy all the Holidays for everyone. We 140 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: can't let that happen. We have got to get to work. 141 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Let's go, said Gavin as they both ran to go 142 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: get their spy gear. Meanwhile, up at the Stinky Blimp Lab, 143 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas were very happy to report the latest 144 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: update to Doctor Stinky. 145 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 5: Breath Doctor's think game, Breath. Take a look at this, 146 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 5: it's working, they shouted. They were pointing out the window 147 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 5: of their blimp lab. You see their blimp lab flies 148 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: high in the sky above the clouds, and they must 149 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: have seen something they wanted to show the Doctor. 150 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: What is it? 151 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: It better be good. 152 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 5: Oh, certainly, certainly, we would never waste your time. But 153 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 5: but on these binoculars and take a look down there. 154 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: What are they looking at? As doctor Stinky Breath held 155 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: up the binoculars to his eyes, he wasn't exactly sure 156 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: what he was looking for. What do you mean?
