Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, friends, Welcome to his Biology Squad. We are a
team of spies who specialize in science. You see Doctor
Stinky Breath in the Purple Ninjas are trying to take
over the world through science, and it is up to
us to stop them before it is too late.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
On the last episode, we saw that Ava and mister
Jim have gotten stuck outside of a smoothie truck because
they get sapped every time they step. Will Jaden be
able to figure out a way how to save them
or is it too late that's doctor Stinky Breath actually
figured out how to take over the world. I'm not sure.

(00:47):
Let's see what happens next. Jaden was now sitting at
his computer. He was able to remotely log into Spiology
Squad server from home. He wanted to check and see
if there were any strange reports, and there were many
in the world, said Jaden. All of town people are

(01:07):
reporting electrical surges and even getting zapped. It's so weird,
all right, let me ask Spybot what could be the cause.
Spybot is Biology squads AI, who often knows the answer
to many of our questions. There seems to be an
excess amount of positively charged electrons in this area. You

(01:30):
must find a way to neutralize this electrical imbalance. An
electrical imbalance, spybot, what does that mean? Electrons are attached
to almost everything and can switch teams per se. Ha
ha ha. Like when you rub a balloon on your head,
the positive electrons are moved from the balloon to your head.

(01:52):
So when you touch something with less positively charged electrons,
that creates the static zap. Wow. Crazy, So this imbalance
is all over the city, asked Jaden, can you give
me a map that shows where the imbalance is?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Why?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Certainly here you go people. Wow, Thanks Bybot, You're welcome. Jaden.
You should formulate a trap to stop doctors thanky breath
before it fills the earth with too much electrical imbalance. Whoa,
that's a great idea, a trap. Oh kind of like
when Ava faded me into a trap in checkers. Hmmm,

(02:34):
I need to figure out something like that. All right, Well,
see you later's byebot, Good luck, Jaden. As Jaden was
running towards his front door, his mom stopped him and said,
hold on there, Jaden, I need your help. The laundry first,
the laundry, but there's a spy emergency, shouted Jaden. Okay,

(02:59):
you can do that afterwards. I just need you to
switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer. You
can fold them later the dryer. Mom, you're a genius.
I am, thanks Jaden. Jaden completed his chore the fastest ever,
grabbed a box of dryer sheets, a roll of tape,

(03:20):
and ran out the door. What in the world was
Jadon so excited about saying that his mom was a genius?
I wonder if she gave him a good idea. Meanwhile,
up in the blimp, the Purple Ninjas had finished spring
the entire town with the super Zapper two thousand spray.
The view from up above was exactly what they wanted

(03:42):
to see. Hey, can I return with the binoculars? Yeah, Sharon,
here you go.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well there's this hilarious Oh the hair are the people's heads?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's standing straight up?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I know?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Is it as a fan fantastic? And no one wants
to move because every step they take adds more and
more electrons to their bodies, which makes their next static
shock even bigger.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Look at that one over there. Oh, hi bots, I
didn't see you, bebon Ninjas. We must act fast, We
must go global. Now our time to take over the
world is now. How much more spray do we have? Well,
in fact, we just finished the last bottle, the last bottle,

(04:37):
but oh don't worry.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Don't worry. Steve and I were just heading over to
the machine to make some more.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh well, don't bother who covers the whole planet. We
are going to need something bigger us and a few
spray cans. Do you have something in mind?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I do.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Indeed bebyl Ninjas. We saw you would need my help
with this project. So take a look at this. Doctor
stinkybread hould back a large purple sheet to reveal a
much larger contraption than the Purple Ninjas had ever seen.
What is that, boss? This is the super Zapper ten thousand.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Wow, that's a whole lot more. Also better super Zapper
two thousand.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Of course it is because ten thousand is bigger than
two thousand. This will be able to cover the whole
earth in lots of extra electrons to make everyone and
everything super staticky. This is so perfect, but I love it.

(05:52):
Thank you Purple Ninjas. Now we just need to attach
it to the highest point in the area, thinking that
Sugar Mountain Matt, perfect, let's fly to the blim to
Sugar Mountains so that you can get the machine all
set up. If this goes according to plan, the old

(06:13):
planet will be covered by mourning yeah in extra elections,
making it completely impossible for people to move around without
getting zapped.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Jaden was running as fast as he could to where
he knew his friends would be. The smoothie truck was
one of his favorite places to go, and he knew
a shortcut. But wait a second, how is Jaden running
and not getting zapped? As he figured out how to
stop the static powers, Janeen shouted, Ava, we're over here.

(06:57):
Huh there, you are good to see you. Dude, did
you get my smoothie? Whoa, Jaden? How did you get here?
Aren't you getting zapped? Asked Dava. No, it's because of these.
Jaden raised his right foot to show what he had
taped to the bottom. Uh, grows Jaden. It looks like

(07:21):
you have toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Nah,
this is a dryer sheet. What's that for? Holy smokes,
Jaden said, mister Jim, you're a genius. He's a what No, actually,
my mom is the genius. This is so smart. You

(07:42):
see the dryer sheets on Jaden's shoes a neutralized static
by equalizing the electrical imbalance we have. Yeah, and by
taping the dryer sheets to the bottom of my shoes,
it protects me from getting zapped. That's great, Jayden, and
perfect timing. I just got an alert that the blimp
is headed for Sugar Mountain. You two need to get

(08:04):
there as soon as possible to stop them before all
this gets worse. I'll start passing out dryer sheets and
tape to everyone around here so they can at least
get home. Come on, Jaden said, Ava, let's jet back
out of here to Sugar Mountain. Oh, don't forget your
dryer sheets. Oh yeah, thanks Jadon. Ooh and they even

(08:26):
smell good too. There you go, Ava, some anti static shoes.
Let's go, And just like that, our two spies blasted
off to Sugar Mountain. Thankfully, our jetbacks are very fast,
so they arrived to the mountain before the blimted and
we're able to come up with a plan. Heyva, I

(08:50):
think we need one of your awesome Checkers traps to
stop the Purple Ninjas this time. Do you have any
ideas hmm. Well, one of my favorite traps is when
you set one of your pieces in a way that
your opponent thinks you've made a mistake, but it was
really on purpose. When they take the bait, that's when

(09:11):
you make your move when they least expect it. Wait
a second, Ava, is that what you did to me
in the championship game? Oh? Uh, I can't reveal all
my winning moves. Hey, there's the blimp, said Ava as
she pointed up to this guy. What are we gonna do?
I think I have a plan, Jaden, what was that for?

(09:34):
Where are you going? Just like that, Jaden dumped his
entire backpack out at Ava's feet and ran off to
the other side of the mountain. As Ava watched the
blimp carefully lower a very large machine out of the
bottom and out of the top of the mountain, It
looked pretty serious the way its lights were flashing. She

(09:56):
wondered if that was the machine behind all the static
and she was right, Hey, Steve, can you help me
out with this?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Oh? Donkey boy, Well this thing is me.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
What in the world is Jayden doing? Whispered Ava to herself. Shva,
do you read me? Sh yes? But what was that for.
Where'd you go, Jayden? Sh Somewhere in that pile of
things that I dumped out of my backpack is another
box of dryer sheets. I'm going to distract the Purple Ninjas,

(10:34):
and then you should run over to the machine and
wipe it down with the dryer sheets. Maybe that'll neutralize it.
Sh Wait wait who who whooa. My plans always require
some kind of bait. What is the bait, Jayden? Sh Uh?
It's kind of me. Yeah, I guess I'm the bait.

(10:54):
Sh you're the what sh They're coming? Now's our chance.
The two Purple Ninjas were now walking towards the big
machine on top of the mountain. Whoa, whoa, what's that
big flashy light bulb? Steve, don't touch that.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's the source of all the electrons we need to
create the static. If you touch it, either two things
are gonna happen. You're gonna ruin it, or you're gonna
get vaporized.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Vaporized. Is that like a superpower? It sounds kind of cool, dude.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Maybe I do want to get vaporized now, Steve, you
never want to be vaporized.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Just then, Jaden started acting like the bait to this trap.
Oh no, look at me. I'm a spy and my
backpack with all of my spy gear just rolled down
the hill. What am I going to do? What in
the world? What the spine going up here?

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Boy, her backpack full of really important spink here, let's
go get it.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Something about this doesn't feel right? Uh, Steve, get back here, Steve.
Oh near, looks like I'm gonna have to go chase
them both down. That backpack is still rolling As the
Purple Ninjas both chased Jaden's bag as it rolled down
the hill. Ava ran over to the machine and started

(12:27):
rubbing the dryer sheets all over it. As soon as
she touched the flashing lights with it, the machine shut down.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
It had been neutralized. Sh Purple Ninjas, What is going
on down?

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Sah sh oh nothing, boss, Sorry, Steve found an empty
backpack when I told him not to chase and we're
running back up the mountain to the machine right now.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Sh Why do I care about an empty backpack? I
see people walking around right now without any shocking What's
going on? Sh? But I'm not sure exactly.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Oh, this machine isn't bad That the light stopped flashing on.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It sh no pair bon ninjas. It's not bad, it's
really bad. What have you done to ruin my super
Zappa ten thousand air boninjures? Wow? Great jobs Biology squad.
Who knew that dryer sheets would be so important in

(13:37):
saving the world? Wow? Well, I guess if we're ever
in a pretty staticy situation, I guess it's time to
tape on some dryer sheets to our shoes. I will
see you on our next adventure. We'll be right back
after a brief word from our sponsor.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Wow, looks like we're already back to the show.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's time for his Biology squad shout outs. I want
to say hit a jack in Marley from Virginia, Brady
from Illinois, Caleb from Washington, Liam and Ben from California,
and Liam Bradford from Massachusetts. I'm so glad that's you're
all on some biology squad. We could not stop doctors
Thinking Breath and his Crew without you, my friends. Well,

(14:20):
you have a super duber day and I will see
you on our next adventure. This is HQ over and out.
We'll be right back after reef word from our sponsor.
