Post by bunniefuu »

what Blossom you want me to bathe who

has time for bathing there is a crime to

solve and if you were a sensitive Soul

like Charlene you'd understand in fact I

was telling her this morning about what

happened and she seemed very

sympathetic it's a present from Charlene

see proof that she cares oh I just have

to get to the bottom of it 3 days ago

somebody stole my new Ruff Ruffman

garden gnome it was a noisy day workers

were pouring cement for a new sidewalk

outside so I didn't hear the burglar

when he did his

burglarizing the sidewalk Blossom you

might be on to something look at this

dog Prince the cement was still soft

when the culprit left his Prince

behind quick chat get out the fetch

3,000 footprint analyzer

attachment now we'll see who wanted a

garden sculpture that looks like me so

badly din a rough

my long lost

mother life was missing its Mystique my

squeaky toys had lost their squeak and

then out of the blue I saw the phone and

Bam my destiny was calling

it thought I was a pro they got my

contract back to fine to their alarm a

dog had signed oh I like that

trer hello and welcome to fetch the

reality game show with the most buzz in

town now unfortunately that buzz is

currently from the Flies circling my

head cuz I haven't washed in days but

Buzz is Buzz and that still counts

doesn't it sorry explains the smell in

here really has it creeped into Studio

G Blossom Blossom what are you doing

with that hose

[Music]

don't thanks Blossom for making sure the

water was freezing

cold well at least it got rid of the

Flies I guess now I don't need these two

fly swatters Charlene sent me which

brings us to challenge number

[Applause]

[Music]

one I need something better than these

fly Waters to give back to Charlene as a

thank you gift so Ruby Shreya a man

named Dondo is going to help you the fly

swap and your instructions are in the

mailbox so go f cute flies water k*lling

flies in

style bye guys good remember look for

Dondo okay we are now at Challenge

number two somebody and I don't know who

stole my garden gnome it looked just

like me yeah that like you that could be

you when you're like 80 the important

thing is that somebody stole it and

whoever stole it left footprints in the

wet cement of the new sidewalk see oh

now I have a footprint analyzer

attachment to the fet 3000 but it's kind

of on the fritz it did manage to say

that the prince belonged to my long lost

mother Dino Ruffman no way well I need

more info on this clearly so this is

Steve and he is waiting for Emmy and

Marco

Awesome everything you need to know is

in that mailbox so go fetch good luck

thank

what are these those are your detective

sleuthing outfits okay with Sherlock

hats capes magnifying glasses that's

exactly the way you look through a

magnifying glass with one eye squinted

and one eyebrow high above your head bye

guys bye have fun detecting detectives

see you as determined by the fetch 3000

Jay and Mark are staying behind in the

studio today but you guys will be

eligible to win points of your own

during the Half Time quiz show oo nice L

done and in the same pitch and I

probably wouldn't have bought this

expensive sign if I didn't have the

fetch fairness guarantee which states

all the contestants will have competed

for the same number of points by the

grand finale so for the four kids out on

the challenges up to 100 points for at

stake in the Triumph tally so have

chitchat let's catch up with Marco and

Emmy all right in here okay oh my gosh

wow rough check that guy out look at the

size of that Tusk hey good morning I'm

Steve hey Steve welcome to the museum

thank you what's with the odd outfits I

think we're kind of like uh detectives

I'm a detective really sir I don't see

your hat and magnifying glass and

Cape when you're in a natural history

museum we're filled with natural history

specimens each thing tells us a story

but it doesn't come with a set of

instructions we have to figure it out

from the items that we find you know I

never thought of it that way but I guess

scientists are kind of like detectives

these are fossils these are from

hundreds of millions of years ago

fossils are the remains of plants and

animals a fossil is usually a hard part

of an animal what's the hardest part of

your body a bone is there something even

harder than your bone teeth teeth

exactly teeth are tough I use mine for

ruining

Furniture oh

sorry here are two fossils the rib of a

dinosaur and you have the fossil tooth

of a shark animal fossils can come from

bones or teeth why they can come from

dinosaurs or sharks or mammals or any

kind of animal no human has seen a

living dinosaur so the only way that we

know that they were here is because of

their remains because of their fossil

remains we were sent to investigate

Footprints well that's pretty hard

because those aren't hard parts right

much more difficult thing to leave

behind imagine that you've walked in the

mud on your driveway that footprint is

gone the next day right yeah so you need

a very special environment to save your

Footprints for thousands or millions of

years well I've got some Footprints here

Steve and I need an

investigation what a beautiful day to

trade ah there's Dondo a trading expert

but not so much a fashion expert is that

a clown hi are you Dondo hello there I'm

Dondo what are those for I'm not sure

those must be your trading items yeah I

got those swatters from Charlene you can

trade them do you know what trade is

it's when you give something to someone

for something in return that's exactly

right

okay let's see if it's any good is that

how you test a fly water this is perfect

what's a fly water worth 25 oh it's

actually worth more than that it's worth

what anyone is willing to pay for it so

you're happy and the other person's

happy oh so a good trade happens when

both sides treat each other fairly and

both sides are happier with what they

end up with I'm sending you back home to

take those fly waterers and to try to

trade them up okay and I want you to

keep trading up and up and up till you

get the best thing you can and then come

back to me later okay so go trade oh I

like that kind of sounds like my D fet

what do you trade a fly water for R well

I don't know you you can trade it for

fly paper or another fly water maybe I

don't know all right so come on over

here and look at this model it's called

the diarama it's a model of what it

looked like around here 190 million

years ago big dinosaurs strange plants

big mountains so you have this

environment where you have a lot of

thunderstorms water is rushing down the

mountains it's carrying muddy water what

kind of dinosaur is that this is called

an otoo and people don't know much about

them why is that they only left behind

their Footprints that's it no bones

exactly what you want right Footprints

perfect thank you oo so how are these

things made remember remember the

mountains back there and the water

rushing down the mountain sides it's

carrying mud the animal steps into the

soft mud the next day a layer of mud

flows over it and protects that

footprint and the next day another layer

paints on and another layer and another

layer those layers pile up they get

heavier and heavier 200 million years of

sediments are on top of that all of that

creates a great deal of pressure and

heat you end up with thousands of feet

of sedimentary rock all leaving behind

the impressions of the footprints of

animals so here's another slab I'd like

to look at my detectives tell me what

you see on this slab well it looks like

some animal ising up a straight line you

can see the back legs and the front legs

back legs and front legs so how many

legs are we talking about four wow you

can tell just from Footprints if they

were from an animal that walked on four

legs or two legs so whoever stole the

garden gnome walked on two legs Shrea

and Ruby are going back to their own

homes to try to trade with their family

hi hi you guys hey what's up I have a FL

water that I need to trade SO trading

with you first first Ruby will try to

trade with her sister I will trade you

for that deck of cards okay mother I

have something that I would particularly

like to trade with you for this amazing

fly water and what do you think Mom can

trade you little bolle of red sparkly

nail polish well I guess I could trade

it for a nail polish sure thank you

mother that is an upgrade nice job next

I will trade with my father now trying

to upgrade with the old man that deck of

cards for your coasters I like that

Charlene would love coasters I think

I'll Make A Deal nicely done sister dear

trade you these lovely coasters for your

sustainable fish thing my sea monkeys

your sea monkeys oh sea monkeys are

definitely cooler than coasters I will

trade you the coasters for my beloved

sea monkeys that is awesome PK Trey's

little brother do you have anything that

you would like to trade for a teddy bear

well I'm not sure well think about it

how about that gift card that you have

to the bookstore do you want to trade it

yes I would here thank you and here is

your teddy bear nicely done dad back to

the dad again I have sea monkeys to

offer oh I see one look at that thing

that's real I'm going to ask for your

moose head is that a felt moose head

well I do like the sea monkeys I'll do

it all right deal let's go nice you go

what's his name how about Roy Roy Ruby

started the day with a fly swatter and

traded up to Roy the moose or uh Roy's

head let me give her a

[Music]

call hello hey hey Trader Joe it's r hi

R you're not done trading yet time to

take your prizes and trade them with

your neighbors my neighbors get trading

all right bye let's try

Shrea hello sha r r Ben hey R hey great

job trading up with your family now I

want you to trade up with your neighbors

wait are you kidding get to it Ruby's

already on her

way think about how quickly dinosaurs

moved is there a way for us to find out

how fast dinosaurs go or how big they

are and so we've got some tools here we

have a bucket of water some tape

measures some stopwatches some markers

and this wonderful piece of paper the

Fetchers will look at their own

Footprints to see what they can learn

before they investigate dinosaur

footprints to make Footprints we could

put our feet in the water and then walk

on paper and that will probably put like

a picture of where our feet go well I

know when when you're running really

fast you usually get more of a stride

Maybe so we can measure that stride what

is Emy talking about what is stride

Blossom oh so when they say stride they

mean how far apart your Footprints are

when you're walking or running okay

ready yep go nice looking footprint

there Marco let's measure from tip of

the toe to tip of the toe that's 17 1/2

in so that would be the stride okay 17

and 1/2 in is a stride when Marco is

walking go go but what if he's

running what is that 60 60 that's like

5T I guess if you looking at tracks you

can tell the difference because the

there's a bigger stride ah so when you

go faster your Footprints are further

apart very

interesting back in Studio G with Jay

and Mark getting ready to earn some

points of their own during the halftime

priz show let's brush up other the rules

you have 60 seconds to answer as many

questions as you can 10 questions

available at Five Points a piece ready

to do this yeah then let the quiz begin

in prehistoric times dinosaurs and

humans lived on Earth together true or

false false false correct how many years

ago did dinosaurs leave their tracks

where the museum is now 300 million

incorrect when Shrea and Ruby first meet

Dondo what is he doing juggling

excellent what type of rock were the

dinosaur footprints fossilized in a

metamorphic B sedimentary C

ignas siment yes what is trading it's

when you give something in exchange for

something else excellent here are two

sets of tracks left by the same animal

which one shows the animal probably

moving faster two two excellent what

does Ruby get in return for her fce

water she gets cards yes what trade does

shya make with her sister teddy bear for

for uh nail polish no yes yes Marco and

Emmy use the word stride to refer to a

how far apart your Footprints are B how

big your feet are or c how much you

weigh hey yes true or false bones are

the hardest part of your body hey oh no

we're out of time and that's really

weird because that was a true false

question that was not multiple choice

where did a come from I don't know fetch

3,000 how did J and Mark do eight out of

10 gentlemen 40 points nice job let's go

over the two that you missed true or

false bones are the hardest part of your

body you said a sorry I was looking for

false teeth are harder than bones and

teeth are not bones also how many years

ago did dinosaurs leave their tracks

where the museum is now I was looking

for 190 million years ago we were really

close though yeah yeah a couple so will

Marco and Emmy become dinosaur track

stars get it track stars because they're

no all right fine well maybe we should

use Steve cuz he's much taller than us

cuz maybe height influences like how far

apart the feet are

so now they're going to have Steve and

Marco leave tracks together to see if

height affects how far apart their

Footprints are Marco's stride is shorter

than yours Steve but your stride is

bigger than maros so it looks like when

you're taller your Footprints are

usually farther apart well that makes

sense longer legs so if you have long

strides and you're just walking means

that you're pretty big probably yes yeah

well so far we found that footprint

spaced farther apart could mean the

animal that left the them is going

really fast or is really

tall oh hello Ruby hi Nathan I have to

trade this Moose for the best thing I

can get from you Mr Eagle here and Mr

Yellowstone moose Barrel monkeys the

sand from various places on the world to

have this blow up pen I don't know Ruby

I mean it's a lot of stuff but I just

don't think they beat Roy's head it's a

deal here's Roy she traded anyway hi

Mareta I was wondering if you were

willing to trade anything for this $5

gift card how about some bubbles okay

and I probably have a bag of candy in my

cupboard that'd be

perfect I know I look weird Griffin but

I have to trade these products all right

Ruby here's what I found I have a camera

a bottle of cinnamon a snow globe pair

of slippers a lemon and a rattly steak

Griffin's got an even bigger pile stop

so this bison is probably worth your

bottle of cinnamon ah don't trade for

the cinnamon it's already been opened

I'd be going to take this for the snow

globe snow globe for the sand okay

that's a fair trade in my mind let's see

how sh is doing hey Mr Cox I have an

offer that might interest you super I'm

wondering if you guys have anything that

you'd like to trade for chocolate and

Bubbles

um if this isn't enough I will do one

service for you tra a service pretty

creative

sha wash my car and what will I get in

return for kisses Bubbles and your car

what about a beautiful handmade necklace

oh take the trade take the trade W okay

I will I will take that yeah oh that's

the biggest score of the day look at

that

thing Ro the things I do for you the

things you do for me you're doing this

for the necklace Shrea now this this

Eagle though I'll give you my snake no

this e and the camera if I threw in the

barrel of monkeys I think it's worth all

of those three wow Ruby is a shrewd

Haggler good good done hi Ruby oh no can

you get to the phone hello hello Ru

again hi time for you to take your items

and go meet

[Music]

[Applause]

Dondo hello hey sh R again oh hey R now

Ruby's already on her way to meet dond

so go catch up with them okay okay

HRA here we have some real dinosaur

footprints just where they were left 190

million years ago wow a real dinosaur

footprint right out in the open these

must be really old yeah 190 million

years ago and we're stepping on the same

ground that the dinosaur stepped on

somehow I want us to get where we can

measure how far apart their Footprints

are the way we're doing it at the Museum

so I've got some chalk and the tape

measuring here so yeah I think this is

one right I'm just going to mark it like

that oh I found one too you did mhm

maybe it walked like this WOW Marco is

tracing the steps of a dinosaur from

millions and millions of years

ago hey nice trade Chad build your own

Triceratops kit I like it well do you

want to actually measure the stride so

now they're going to measure the stride

48 48 in that's 4T all right so my

stride was 172 in but my running stride

was 60 in I'm guessing that this one

this dinosaur was walking just judging

by how big its feet are I think if it

was running it' go it this would be a

lot would been a lot bigger yeah this

dinosaur was probably a good good size

bigger than you are they determined from

the size of the dinosaur's foot it was

probably pretty tall and if it was

pretty tall that stride length means it

was probably walking not running let me

give these guys a

call who is it hey Sherlock Holmes it's

Ru hey Ru you and uh Dr Watson there are

doing an awesome job thanks you guys are

investigating fossil Clues just like

real scientists now you have one more

part of your challenge you two need to

scratching post love spot a scratching

post oh it's horrible oh Blossom don't

wait hey you want to learn more about

geology let's dig a Little Deeper

millions and millions of years ago when

dinosaurs roamed the Earth all the

continents were smooshed together this

was called Pangia Pangia exactly right

right Pangia a word that means all of

Earth so the world we know today is so

much different than it used to be man A

lot can happen in 190 million years
