(gallactic music)
- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!
I'm Hubba Hubba talking
to you from Hoobland,
and I'm about to send
four of my favorite
Hoobs down to Earth
to find out all about
you for my great Hoobapaedia.
Here they come!

(Bright spring music)
(Birds chirping)
- Ah, yep. Hoobygalooby!
What a hoobacious view.
Tula and Groove are
going to love this.
Oh, yes!
- Look at this view.
I see a mountain.
(laughing)
- I see a mountain, too.
- Hoobygalooby. We're in
between two mountains.
What a lovely valley this is.
(sighs)
- Tula, Groove, come and
look at this lovely view.
Hoobledoop, Tula?
Hoobledoop, Groove?
(Birds chirping)
I said, Hoobledoop!
- [Echo] Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!
- Hoobygalooby! There's
no need to shout.
(upbeat music)
I said there's no need to shout.
- Hoobledoop, Iver.
Shout about what?
- Well, didn't you just
shout hoobledoop to me?
- No.
- What? Oh.
Then it must have
been you, Tula.
- I certainly haven't been
shouting at you, Iver.
I've been looking
out of the window
at these lovely mountains.
- Exactly. You see, I
was shouting down to you
to come up and look at them
from the roof garden.
- So, you were shouting then?
- No, I --
Well, yes, but --
- Yes. yes.
- Sort of.
And anyway, look, the
point is I shouted
hoobledoop down to you,
and you shouted
hoobledoop back up to me.
- No, we didn't.
- Didn't you?
- No. It must have
been someone else.
- Well, that's odd.
If it wasn't us,
then who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba...
- Hey, it's Hubba Hubba.
You've hit on the
question, Tula.
(Gallactic music)
- Who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
That's an excellent
question for Hoob News!
(laughing)
- Do You think so, Hubba Hubba?
- Oh, yes, Groove.
Hoobs all over the universe hear
strange things all the time.
Maybe this will
explain some of them.
- (gasps) I've just thought.
Maybe it was a tiddlypeep
shouting hoobledoop, Iver.
- Now, that's a
hoobledoobledooper idea, Tula.
I suggest you take
a little drive
through the valley, Iver,
and see if you can
find some tiddlypeeps.
Then you can ask them if
they Hoobledooped you.
- Oh, yes, of
course, Hubba Hubba.
Tula, you can drive
the Hoobmobile,
and I'll look out
for tiddlypeeps.
Come on.
(Upbeat music)
- Seat belt?
- Seat belt.
- We're off to see
the tiddlypeeps.

- Wow. There they are.
- Yeah.
- What are they doing?
(giggling)
(popping)
Hoobledoop, tiddlypeeps!
- [All] Hoobledoop, tiddlypeeps!
- Want to do a hooby hello?
- [All] Want to
do a hooby hello?
- Okay, after three.
- [All] Okay, after three.
- [All] One, two, three.
Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
- That was hoobacious.
- [All] That was hoobacious.
- Oh!
Are you tiddlypeeps copying me?
- Yes, its a copying game.
- Yes, its a
copying game, silly.
(laughing)
Okay. Okay.
Now, I wanted to
ask you something.
Did any of you shout hoobledoop
back at me when I was
on the roof garden?
- Not us, Iver.
- Hmm. Now, that's strange.
If it wasn't you tiddlypeeps,
then who was it?
Oh, well. I better
leave you to your game.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughing)
(Bright music)
- Don't tell him.
Don't tell him.
- Well that was fun.
- But now I know it
wasn't the tiddlypeeps
talking to me.
- But now I know it
wasn't the tiddlypeeps
talking to me.
- Groove, stop copying me.
- [Both] Groove!
- Groove!
Sorry.
- You're not taking
this seriously.
It wasn't a tiddlypeep, right?
And, actually, come
to think of it,
the voice I heard
on the roof garden
didn't sound like a
tiddleypeep anyway.
- So what did it
sound like then?
- Well, it sounded like this.
(coughs)
Hoobledoop!
- So it sounded like you then?
- Well, yes, I suppose it did.
- Well, you must have
hoobledooped yourself, Iver.
- No, Groove.
I think I'd have noticed
if I shouted
hoobledoop at myself.
- Well something
must have shouted
hoobledoop at you.
- Yeah, but what?
(mysterious music)
♪ What, what, what ♪
♪ What ♪
- [Echo] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba...
- Hubba Hubba!
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- Hoobygalooby. There's no
need to shout, Hubba Hubba.
- I don't think he can hear us.
- I can't hear you with
my hooby headphones on.
Hold on.
Yeah. That's better.
Yes. I'm listening to the
Hopping Hoobledippers.
Auntie Hatty lent me the CD.
She loves a good hop, you know.
(laughing)
- Anyway, how are
you getting on?
- Well, not very
well, Hubba Hubba.
The voice I heard
on the roof garden
sounded like me.
But I know it wasn't me.
- Might have been you.
- Maybe you were talking to
yourself without realzing.
Hey, Tula, this gets
worse and worse.
- Tula, Groove, I was
not talking to myself!
I mean, why doesn't
anyone believe me?
- Now, now, now,
Iver, don't worry.
Take a look at these
pictures I found on Hoobnet.
Maybe they'll help.
(Upbeat music)
These birds are called parrots.
Now, it says here,
Hoobs, that parrots
live in rainforests.
And these parrots are
hobbaciously clever.
If a peep says a
word to a parrot,
the parrot can say the
word back to the peep.
They can learn to copy them.
Isn't that clever?
(gallactic music)
- Hoobygalooby! A
bird that can talk.
- And if a parrot
can repeat something
a peep has said,
then it can repeat something
a Hoob has said, can't it?
- If a parrot can
repeat something
a peep has said,
then it can repeat something
a Hoob has said, can't it?
- Groove, you are
being very annoying.
- Oh, sorry, Iver. I should
be taking care of you.
Shouldn't I?
Especially since you've
started talking to yourself.
- I was not talking to myself.
No. It was a parrot.
I bet it was.
- Well, maybe.
- But maybe not. There's
one small problem.
- Well, what?
(mysterious music)
♪ What, what, what ♪
♪ What ♪
- We're in a
valley, that's what.
And where did Hubba Hubba
say that parrots lived?
- In a warm place full of
trees called the rainforest.
Oh, yes. I see what you mean.
Oh, hoobybother.
- So it must have
been you after all.
- Groove! It wasn't me!
- [Echo] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba...
(gallactic music)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- Hubba Hubba, you're
shouting again.
- Hmm?
- [All] You're shouting again!
- There's no need
to shout, Hoobs.
Now, how are you getting on?
- Iver thought it was a parrot.
- Iver thought it was a parrot?
- Iver thought it was a parrot.
- Stop it, all of you.
- [Both] Sorry.
- And was it a parrot, Iver?
- No, of course
not, Hubba Hubba,
because we're in a
valley not a rainforest.
- How right you are.
Well, don't worry, Hoobs.
There's one thing you can do.
- What's that, Hubba Hubba?
- Ask some
tiddlypeeps, of course.
They always seem to
have clever ideas.
- Right, and this time I'll go.
- Oh, Hubba Hubba, do you
think I can have a listen
to the Hopping Hoobledippers?
- Oh, do you like
them too, Groove?
They are rather
hoobledooper, aren't they?
- Groove, you haven't
got time for that.
Now, come and drive me.
(upbeat music)
- Hoobledoop? Hoobledoop?
- No, no, no, no, no.
I was not talking to myself.

I said hoobledoop, tiddlypeep.
(giggling)
(clicking)
- [Recording] Hoobledoop!
- Oh, that was
hoobelly groobelly.
You'd already
recorded your voice.
- I used this tape recorder.
(clicking)
- Oh, yes. We've
got one of those
in our Hooby CD player.
- You just press record and
speak into this microphone.
- And then the sound
gets recorded here.
- That's right, and
you can play it back.
- Why didn't we think of that?
- What do you mean?
- Well, Iver's been
hearing his own voice
up on the roof garden.
Maybe someone recorded him
and then played it back.
- They could have.
- Hoobygalooby! Maybe
this is the answer.
Thank you so much, tiddlypeep.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!
(giggling)
(magical music)
- You see, Groove, it wasn't me.
It must have been someone
recording my voice.
- Well, maybe, but I think --
- Oh, Iver! I am so sorry
I didn't believe you.
- Oh, that's all right, Tula.
But I was beginning to believe
that I really was
talking to myself.
- But I think you really are --
- Not now, Groove.
We need to make it up to
Iver for not believing him.
Get your Hooby CD player.
- All right.
- Watcha going to do, Tula?
- I am going to prove
you right, Iver.
(bright music)
- Oh, hoobacious! You're
going to record my voice.
- Yes. That is right.
Now, when I press
the record button,
I want you to say: Hoobledoop.
- Right. Ready.
(clicking)
- Hoobledoop!
(clicking)
- Now, let's see.
(clicking)
- [Recording] Hoobledoop!
- You see, it works!
Someone must have
recorded your voice.
- Well, yes, but who?
(mysterious music)
♪ Who, who, who, who, who ♪
♪ Who ♪
- No one, that's who.
- What do you mean?
- Well, have a look.
We're in a big empty
valley, aren't we?
There's no one out there.
Besides, you have
to be very close
to a tape recorder
for it to work.
- (sighs) Oh, dear.
Groove's right.
So it must have
been you after all.
- But it wasn't.
I'm sure it wasn't.
- Well, there's nowhere
for anyone to hide, Iver.
So if you heard a voice
shouting hoobledoop
that sounded exactly like you --
- Then it must have been
you shouting hoobledoop.
- Yes, sorry, Iver, but you
were talking to yourself.
(chuckling)
First sign of going
chap-chap-curly-whirly-cuckoo,
if you ask me.
- No, it's not true.
I know it's not.
- [Echo] Roma,
Roma, Roma, Roma...
- Ah, it's Roma.
(gallactic music)
She'll know who was
shouting hoobledoop at me.
(gentle music)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
- [All] Hoobledoop, Roma!
- Now, Hubba Hubba tells me
Iver's been hearing things.
So I've come here
to a place called Switzerland,
where I've been hearing
something fantabihooby
in the mountains.
- What have you heard, Roma?
- It's called a yodel, Iver.
The peeps who live
here use it to talk
to each other from
mountain to mountain.
It goes kind of like this:
♪ Yodel-iddle-Lay-dee-Hoo ♪
- Hoobygroovy!
- And it gets even
hoobygroovier, Groove!
If you yodel loud
enough, you can hear
an amazing thing called an echo.
- An echo?
- That's right, Tula.
An echo is the
sound of your voice
coming back to you.
It sounds rather like
you're talking to yourself.
Listen.

for me in a log cabin
on the next mountain.
It's been made especially for me
by a lonely goatherd.
I better let him

You're shouting --
oh, never mind.
- I must say, Hoobs, I'm having
a hoobledoobleduper hopping day.
How's your day going?
- Well, not back, Hubba Hubba.
It looks like what I
heard on the roof garden
was something called an echo.
- But we don't really
know what an echo is.
- Well, perhaps I
can help, Hoobs.
In between hops, I've
had a look on Hoobnet
and found this story that
a tiddlypeep sent in.
See if there are
any clues in here.
(gallactic music)
(bright gentle music)
- [Narrator] Two
little white rabbits
lived in a grassy valley
surrounded by high mountains.
- That's like us.
- [Narrator] Their names
were Dave and Denise.
(bright flute music)
They would much away
happily at tufts of grass.
(chewing)
Then they would go
bouncing together
over the rocks.
Now, one day, two more
rabbits came to the valley.
Their names were
Keith and Kevin.
(gloomy music)
And they wanted to scare
Dave and Denise away
so that they could eat
the best tufts of grass.
- If we bounce up
onto the big rock,
we'll soon frighten them off.
- Yeah.
- [Narrator] So Keith
and Kevin bounced.
(bouncy music)
Dave and Denise
let out a huge cry.
(Shouting)
The huge cry bounced off
the side of the valley
and echoed loudly all around.
- Help!
There are hundreds of monsters
coming to get us.
(crying)
- [Narrator] He and
Keith were so frightened
that they ran and ran
as fast as they could.
(fast music)
Dave and Denise laughed.
(laughing)
And their laugh bounced off
the sides of the valley.
Who would have thought
that Kevin and Keith
(whimpering)
would so frightened of an echo?
(gentle music)
(galactic music)
- Iver, that's it.
Your voice must have
bounced off the mountains
on either side of the valley.
- Yeah, and come
straight back to you.
- As an echo.
- Come and listen.
(bright music)
Come on. Come on.
Right. Here goes.
Hoobledoop!
- [Echo] Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!
(laughing)
- You see, my voice is
bouncing off the mountains
and coming back to me.
It's my echo.
- That's hoobygroovy.
Let me try. Let me try.
(clears throat)
Hooble-doo-hoo-hoop!
- [Echo] Hooble-doo-hoo-hoop!
(laughing)
- Oh, oh, oh, what

Hubba, Hubba Hubba...
(galactic music)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
Are you ready to give
me your Hoob news
for my great Hoobapaedia?
- [All] (cheering) Yes!
- Then take it away.
(news music)
- Hoobledoop whoop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob
News, the news show
for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question --
- Who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
- It all started when
I said hoobledoop,
and somebody said it back.
- [Groove] At first, we
thought it could have been
some tiddlypeeps.
- But then I realized
it sounded just like me.
- [Tula] So Groove and
I thought that maybe
it was Iver talking to himself.
- But I said it wasn't.
- But we didn't believe him.
Sorry.
- [Iver] Then I thought it
could have been a parrot.
They can copy peeps'
or Hoobs' voices.
- [Tula] But parrots
live in the rainforest,
and we were in a valley,
so I asked a tiddlypeep,
and she showed me how
it could have been
someone recording Iver's voice.
- But there wasn't anyone
in the valley to record him.
- So we still thought
it must have been Iver.
- [Iver] Then Roma told us
about something hoobacious
called an echo.
- [Groove] And we realized
that that must have been
what Iver heard.
- But we still didn't
know how an echo worked.
- [Iver] Until Hubba
Hubba found us a story
about some rabbits
who made an echo
when their voices bounced
off the sides of a valley.
- And we're parked in a valley,
so Iver's voice must have
bounced off the sides
and echoed back to him.
- So the answer to the question,
"Who did Iver hear on
the roof garden," is --
- My echo.
I heard me.
- Wait a minute.
That means Groove and
I were right all along.
We said it was your voice.
- And it was.
- Oh, yes. I
suppose that's true.
(laughing)
- So it's thanks once
again to Iver, Tula,
Groove, and Roma
for giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of peeps.
And remember, wherever you are,
have a nice day and
hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Hoobletoodledoo!

What a hoobacious view.
Tula and Groove are

Oh, yes!
- Look at this view.
I see a mountain.
(laughing)
- I see a mountain, too.
- Hoobygalooby. We're in
between two mountains.
What a lovely valley this is.

- Tula, Groove, come and
look at this lovely view.
Hoobledoop, Tula?

Shout about what?
- Well, didn't you just
shout hoobledoop to me?
- No.
- What? Oh.
Then it must have
been you, Tula.
- I certainly haven't been
shouting at you, Iver.
I've been looking
out of the window
at these lovely mountains.
- Exactly. You see, I
was shouting down to you
to come up and look at them
from the roof garden.
- So, you were shouting then?
- No, I --
Well, yes, but --
- Yes. yes.
- Sort of.
And anyway, look, the
point is I shouted
hoobledoop down to you,
and you shouted
hoobledoop back up to me.
- No, we didn't.
- Didn't you?
- No. It must have
been someone else.
- Well, that's odd.
If it wasn't us,
then who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba
Hubba Hubba Hubba...
- Hey, it's Hubba Hubba.
You've hit on the
question, Tula.
(Gallactic music)
- Who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
That's an excellent
question for Hoob News!
(laughing)
- Do You think so, Hubba Hubba?
- Oh, yes, Groove.
Hoobs all over the universe hear
strange things all the time.
Maybe this will
explain some of them.
- (gasps) I've just thought.
Maybe it was a tiddlypeep
shouting hoobledoop, Iver.
- Now, that's a
hoobledoobledooper idea, Tula.
I suggest you take
a little drive
through the valley, Iver,
and see if you can
find some tiddlypeeps.
Then you can ask them if
they Hoobledooped you.
- Oh, yes, of
course, Hubba Hubba.
Tula, you can drive
the Hoobmobile,
and I'll look out
for tiddlypeeps.
Come on.
(Upbeat music)
- Seat belt?
- Seat belt.
- We're off to see
the tiddlypeeps.

Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!

- [All] That was hoobacious.
- Oh!
Are you tiddlypeeps copying me?
- Yes, its a copying game.
- Yes, its a
copying game, silly.
(laughing)
Okay. Okay.
Now, I wanted to
ask you something.
Did any of you shout hoobledoop
back at me when I was
on the roof garden?
- Not us, Iver.
- Hmm. Now, that's strange.
If it wasn't you tiddlypeeps,
then who was it?
Oh, well. I better
leave you to your game.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
(laughing)
(Bright music)
- Don't tell him.
Don't tell him.
- Well that was fun.
- But now I know it
wasn't the tiddlypeeps
talking to me.
- But now I know it
wasn't the tiddlypeeps
talking to me.
- Groove, stop copying me.
- [Both] Groove!
- Groove!
Sorry.
- You're not taking
this seriously.
It wasn't a tiddlypeep, right?
And, actually, come
to think of it,
the voice I heard
on the roof garden
didn't sound like a
tiddleypeep anyway.
- So what did it
sound like then?
- Well, it sounded like this.
(coughs)
Hoobledoop!
- So it sounded like you then?
- Well, yes, I suppose it did.
- Well, you must have
hoobledooped yourself, Iver.
- No, Groove.
I think I'd have noticed
if I shouted
hoobledoop at myself.
- Well something
must have shouted
hoobledoop at you.
- Yeah, but what?

- Hoobygalooby. There's no

- I don't think he can hear us.
- I can't hear you with
my hooby headphones on.
Hold on.
Yeah. That's better.
Yes. I'm listening to the
Hopping Hoobledippers.
Auntie Hatty lent me the CD.
She loves a good hop, you know.
(laughing)
- Anyway, how are
you getting on?
- Well, not very
well, Hubba Hubba.
The voice I heard
on the roof garden
sounded like me.
But I know it wasn't me.
- Might have been you.
- Maybe you were talking to
yourself without realzing.
Hey, Tula, this gets
worse and worse.
- Tula, Groove, I was
not talking to myself!
I mean, why doesn't
anyone believe me?
- Now, now, now,
Iver, don't worry.
Take a look at these
pictures I found on Hoobnet.
Maybe they'll help.
(Upbeat music)
These birds are called parrots.
Now, it says here,
Hoobs, that parrots
live in rainforests.
And these parrots are
hobbaciously clever.
If a peep says a
word to a parrot,
the parrot can say the
word back to the peep.
They can learn to copy them.
Isn't that clever?
(gallactic music)
- Hoobygalooby! A
bird that can talk.
- And if a parrot
can repeat something
a peep has said,
then it can repeat something
a Hoob has said, can't it?
- If a parrot can
repeat something
a peep has said,
then it can repeat something
a Hoob has said, can't it?
- Groove, you are
being very annoying.
- Oh, sorry, Iver. I should
be taking care of you.
Shouldn't I?
Especially since you've
started talking to yourself.
- I was not talking to myself.
No. It was a parrot.
I bet it was.
- Well, maybe.
- But maybe not. There's
one small problem.
- Well, what?

Oh, hoobybother.
- So it must have
been you after all.
- Groove! It wasn't me!
- [Echo] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba...

- Hubba Hubba, you're
shouting again.
- Hmm?
- [All] You're shouting again!
- There's no need
to shout, Hoobs.
Now, how are you getting on?
- Iver thought it was a parrot.
- Iver thought it was a parrot?
- Iver thought it was a parrot.
- Stop it, all of you.
- [Both] Sorry.
- And was it a parrot, Iver?
- No, of course
not, Hubba Hubba,
because we're in a
valley not a rainforest.
- How right you are.
Well, don't worry, Hoobs.
There's one thing you can do.
- What's that, Hubba Hubba?
- Ask some
tiddlypeeps, of course.
They always seem to
have clever ideas.
- Right, and this time I'll go.
- Oh, Hubba Hubba, do you
think I can have a listen
to the Hopping Hoobledippers?
- Oh, do you like
them too, Groove?
They are rather
hoobledooper, aren't they?
- Groove, you haven't
got time for that.
Now, come and drive me.

hearing his own voice
up on the roof garden.
Maybe someone recorded him
and then played it back.
- They could have.
- Hoobygalooby! Maybe
this is the answer.
Thank you so much, tiddlypeep.

It must have been someone

I didn't believe you.
- Oh, that's all right, Tula.
But I was beginning to believe
that I really was
talking to myself.
- But I think you really are --
- Not now, Groove.
We need to make it up to
Iver for not believing him.
Get your Hooby CD player.
- All right.
- Watcha going to do, Tula?
- I am going to prove
you right, Iver.

Besides, you have
to be very close
to a tape recorder
for it to work.
- (sighs) Oh, dear.
Groove's right.
So it must have
been you after all.
- But it wasn't.
I'm sure it wasn't.
- Well, there's nowhere
for anyone to hide, Iver.
So if you heard a voice
shouting hoobledoop
that sounded exactly like you --
- Then it must have been
you shouting hoobledoop.
- Yes, sorry, Iver, but you
were talking to yourself.

First sign of going
chap-chap-curly-whirly-cuckoo,

- Now, Hubba Hubba tells me
Iver's been hearing things.
So I've come here
to a place called Switzerland,
where I've been hearing
something fantabihooby
in the mountains.
- What have you heard, Roma?
- It's called a yodel, Iver.
The peeps who live
here use it to talk
to each other from
mountain to mountain.
It goes kind of like this:
♪ Yodel-iddle-Lay-dee-Hoo ♪
- Hoobygroovy!
- And it gets even
hoobygroovier, Groove!
If you yodel loud
enough, you can hear
an amazing thing called an echo.
- An echo?
- That's right, Tula.
An echo is the
sound of your voice
coming back to you.
It sounds rather like
you're talking to yourself.
Listen.

and found this story that
a tiddlypeep sent in.
See if there are
any clues in here.
(gallactic music)
(bright gentle music)
- [Narrator] Two
little white rabbits
lived in a grassy valley
surrounded by high mountains.
- That's like us.
- [Narrator] Their names
were Dave and Denise.
(bright flute music)
They would much away
happily at tufts of grass.
(chewing)
Then they would go
bouncing together
over the rocks.
Now, one day, two more
rabbits came to the valley.
Their names were
Keith and Kevin.
(gloomy music)
And they wanted to scare
Dave and Denise away
so that they could eat
the best tufts of grass.
- If we bounce up
onto the big rock,
we'll soon frighten them off.
- Yeah.
- [Narrator] So Keith
and Kevin bounced.
(bouncy music)
Dave and Denise
let out a huge cry.
(Shouting)
The huge cry bounced off
the side of the valley
and echoed loudly all around.
- Help!
There are hundreds of monsters
coming to get us.
(crying)
- [Narrator] He and
Keith were so frightened
that they ran and ran
as fast as they could.
(fast music)
Dave and Denise laughed.
(laughing)
And their laugh bounced off
the sides of the valley.
Who would have thought
that Kevin and Keith
(whimpering)
would so frightened of an echo?
(gentle music)
(galactic music)
- Iver, that's it.
Your voice must have
bounced off the mountains
on either side of the valley.
- Yeah, and come
straight back to you.
- As an echo.
- Come and listen.
(bright music)
Come on. Come on.
Right. Here goes.
Hoobledoop!
- [Echo] Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!
(laughing)
- You see, my voice is
bouncing off the mountains
and coming back to me.
It's my echo.
- That's hoobygroovy.

(galactic music)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
Are you ready to give
me your Hoob news
for my great Hoobapaedia?
- [All] (cheering) Yes!
- Then take it away.
(news music)
- Hoobledoop whoop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob
News, the news show
for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question --
- Who did Iver hear
on the roof garden?
- It all started when
I said hoobledoop,
and somebody said it back.
- [Groove] At first, we
thought it could have been
some tiddlypeeps.
- But then I realized
it sounded just like me.
- [Tula] So Groove and
I thought that maybe
it was Iver talking to himself.
- But I said it wasn't.
- But we didn't believe him.
Sorry.
- [Iver] Then I thought it
could have been a parrot.
They can copy peeps'
or Hoobs' voices.
- [Tula] But parrots
live in the rainforest,
and we were in a valley,
so I asked a tiddlypeep,
and she showed me how
it could have been
someone recording Iver's voice.
- But there wasn't anyone
in the valley to record him.
- So we still thought
it must have been Iver.
- [Iver] Then Roma told us
about something hoobacious
called an echo.
- [Groove] And we realized
that that must have been
what Iver heard.
- But we still didn't
know how an echo worked.
- [Iver] Until Hubba
Hubba found us a story
about some rabbits
who made an echo
when their voices bounced
off the sides of a valley.
- And we're parked in a valley,
so Iver's voice must have
bounced off the sides
and echoed back to him.
- So the answer to the question,
"Who did Iver hear on
the roof garden," is --
- My echo.
I heard me.
- Wait a minute.
That means Groove and
I were right all along.
We said it was your voice.
- And it was.
- Oh, yes. I
suppose that's true.
(laughing)
- So it's thanks once
again to Iver, Tula,
Groove, and Roma
for giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of peeps.
And remember, wherever you are,
have a nice day and
hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
