About Mr. Jim:

My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

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 (00:24):
On the last episode, we saw the Doctor Sticky Breath
and the Purple Ninjas are trying to work on some
kind of de frictionizer laser and and they're headed straight
Bravest birthday party. I don't know what's gonna happen next,
but let's find out. As Jaden was finishing changing his

(00:45):
completely soap clothes in the bathroom, he could hear something
coming from the ice. Jaed, what in the world could
have happened? I've been going like two seconds, said Jaden.
He had barely put on his new dry clothes and

(01:05):
was hopping on one foot as he was putting on
his other shoe. He opened the bathroom door and was
shocked to see that everybody in the building, both on
the ice and on the floor, were sliding around completely
unable to stop. It was like a giant human pinball game. Eh,

(01:29):
Holly smokes, Wait Eva, what's going on? He shouted? Oh, no, no, out,
We're just skating in all of a suddenough. We can't
stop anymore. Oh. Jaden couldn't believe it. Everyone was just
bouncing off of the walls and sliding around like he'd

(01:49):
never seen before. Even the ice wasn't acting normal like
normally skates you can like use them as brakes to
come to a stop, but that wasn't even working. Everything
was way to slippery. He knew he had to call
mister Jim at HQ. He reached for his bag that
was thankfully with him in the bathroom, grabbed his walkie

(02:09):
talkie and sh mister Jim, are you there over? Sh Yeah, hey, Jaden,
how's Ava's birthday party going?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Sh h?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Not good. It's hard to explain, but everyone is just
sliding around unable to stop. It's it's like a giant
human pinball game. It all happened just a couple of
minutes ago when I went to the bathroom. I could
use some backup. Sh Wow, does it look like anything changed? Like?
Does anything look different since you went into the bathroom.

(02:44):
Jaden paused and looked around. Noticed that the ceiling had
a skylight that was open, and all the surfaces they
looked really unusually shiny. All right, mister jim I I'm
looking at a skylight up there that it's open. I
don't remember that being open earlier. And everything is really shiny,

(03:05):
like the ice, the ground, the floor, the tables, everything,
It's like it got sprayed with something really shiny. I
think those are the two things that have changed since
I went into the bathroom. Okay, great work, Jayden. Try
and take a sample of that shiny stuff and find
a way out. Maybe there's a window in the bathroom

(03:25):
that you can crawl through. Sh Yeah, except the only
window I see is above the toilet. I think I'm
gonna have to climb on top of that thing. I
hope I don't slip in sh Sometimes we gotta do
some crazy things on spiology Squad. I'll meet you at
HQ as soon as we can. Over and out. Sh

(03:46):
Jaden reached outside of the bathroom door for a sample
of that shiny stuff on the ground. He yelled out
to Ava that he was heading to HQ. Ava, I'm
gonna get to HQ and we're gonna try and figure
out a way how to save you and everybody else.
Just be safe. Oh okay, just hurry. Oh. Ava was

(04:11):
still bouncing around, sliding on the ground. It was pretty
insane what was happening there. Jaden was going to need
to act fast before everybody got really hurt. Meanwhile, up
in the sky, in that purple stinky blimp.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Lab Bus, you should see them all the people are
bouncing around like little balls at It's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Ooh, that's goold. But we are only just beginning. De Berninas.
I want you to take this laser over to the
tallest mountain and start lasering the whole city. I'm going
to start building a second laser. Just please leaves the
instructions of how to build them over runs the desk. Okay,

(05:02):
I got that break here, Come on, we gotta get
to work.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
So Bus, you want us to get up on that
laser and and uh do what exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I told you. I want you to go to the
top it was the tallest mountain and start lasering the
whole city. Make it all very slippery so that even
the cas will start crashing into each other. It will
create quite the mayhem. Hurry, we're running out of time, okay,
II come back, come on, But I thought I was

(05:32):
supposed to.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
No wait out, have time, come out. Let's go right.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now, okay. Jaden was just arriving at HQ and met
up with mister Jim. He grabbed his access card to
open up the door. Hey, Jaden, I'm glad you made it. Yeah,
here's the sample I was able to take. Oh, great work,
said mister Jim. Let's take a look at it under
the microscope. Mister Jim grabbed a slide and carefully scraped

(05:59):
Jaden's singing from the ice rink onto the slide and
turned on the microscope. Whoa, this is incredible. What do
you mean incredible? Said Jaden. Uh, let me see it.
It made quite the mess at the rink. Yeaheah, hang on,
let me make a few adjustments on it. And there

(06:19):
mister Jim now had the big screen on the walls
showing the view from the microscope. Jaden stood there with
both hands on his hips and asked, Okay, so this
looks pretty cool, but uh, what am I looking at?
That's a good question, Jaden. I've never seen this before either,
But this is a perfectly frictionless surface. I've never seen

(06:42):
one in real life before. It's even hard to imagine.
But that sample, that you took it doesn't have any
friction on it at all. Okay, said Jaden. I can
tell you're impressed. But two things, Uh what is frictionless?
And uh what about and the ice rink and all
those people bouncing around? Oh yeah, uh sorry, this made

(07:07):
me geek out for a second and I lost track
of the mission, said mister Jim. So friction does a
lot of things. But okay, just imagine you were wearing
socks and taking a running start and slide across a
shiny wood floor. Oh I love doing that, said Jaden.
You should see how far I can go. You want

(07:27):
to see you right now? Hold on, hold on, let's
do sucks sliding challenges after we save the world. Oh yeah,
But the less friction between those two surfaces, your socks
and the wood floor, the farther you'd go. Like, well,
what do you think would happen if you tried sliding
your socks on the sidewalk? I would definitely slam my

(07:50):
face on the ground, said Jaden. Exactly, that's because the
sidewalk has a lot of friction. But what if you
were to remove all friction? No way, do you think
you just slide forever? Exactly? That's what's happening at the
ice rink right now. This stuff is even more slippery

(08:12):
than ice, like a hundred times more slippery. Ohoh okay,
so what do we do now? Well, you said the
skylight was open, right, I'm guessing the blimp must have
been above it. Oh yeah, good point. Let me check
out the blimp tracker, said Jaden. Since when do we
have a blimp tracker?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Me and Ava built it a few weeks ago and
we stuck a tracker on the bottom of the blimp. Umm, yeah,
here it is. Look. Jaden handed mister Jim the blimp tracker,
and mister Jim said, looks like it's headed for Sugar Mountain.
Why would they be headed there, asked Jaden. I'm not sure,
but I'm gonna need you to fly up to that
mountain and figure out, uh how they're doing this, and

(08:55):
we gotta figure out a plan how to stop them.
While you're doing that, I'm gonna work on getting something
to Ava asap and help all those people sliding around
at the rink. Guys, are you there? Sh was that
Ava on the walkie talkie, said Jaden, s Ava, are

(09:16):
you there? How'd you get a walkie talkie sh Well,
one of the times I was sliding and oof, I
smashed right into my bag and then I grabbed the
walkie talking about anyway, I don't have time to explain,
but can you spleaselend someone out beer now? Sh oh no,
it sounds like Ava and everyone is still in some

(09:37):
serious trouble. Are Jaden and mister Jim gonna be able
to save Ava and stop the Purple Ninjas from lasering
from the top of that mountain? I'm not sure, but
we're gonna have to wait and see what happens. On
the next episode of Spiology Squad. It's time for s
