[Opal] Coming up next on Odd Squad...
-It's Soundcheck! -Yo!
There's something about Soundcheck
most people don't know.
They're the only ones who can stop
this very dangerous villain group: The Villain People.
We finally have our chance to set our evil plan in motion.

[narrator] So what exactly is the secret
to Soundcheck's success?
There's simply no other band like Soundcheck.
And I can prove it.
[beeping]
This is a Venn diagram.
It's a visual way to show the relationships
between different things.
I've put bands with great songs in this circle,
and I've put bands with great hair in this circle.
Any band in this middle section, where the two circles meet,
has both great songs and great hair.
And there's only one band there:
Soundcheck,
my favourite band of all time.
Which is why I was very upset
when the Odd Squad Mobile Unit broke them up.
[Orla clearing throat]
It is possible I made a small blunder.
[narrator] Soundcheck's video crew
captured the disastrous moment on camera.
Two of the world's greatest four-people groups
-are about to meet. -Who's the other group?
Us. There's four of us, there's four of--
-[Opal] Waaah! -What?! It's Soundcheck!
Yo, it's the Odd Squad Mobile unit.
-'Sup dawgs? -We want to be you
-when we grow up! -Yeah, we wanna be you!
I'm Orla.
Yo, dawg.
Uh...
Tell me, what is this organization you call...
"Soundcheck"?
-You don't know who we are? -[Orla] I do not.
But you must enjoy many activities together.
What are your favourites?
[emotional acoustic guitar instrumental]
Orla really made us think.
Besides being in Soundcheck,
do we have anything in common?
We couldn't think of one thing we all liked to do.
So, we decided to quit the band,
♪
[narrator] And just like that,
the boy band of our dreams was no longer a band...
and fans were heartbroken.
So be it!
A band broke up.
Is it really the end of the world?
Yes!
There's something about Soundcheck
most people don't know;
they're the only ones who can stop
this very dangerous villain group:
The Villain People, my least favourite band.
Their songs are very annoying,
but they also have the power to create major oddness.
[narrator] The Big O was right.
The Villain People's music wasn't just bad,
it was evil,
and they wanted to use it to take over the world.
I'm Eve, lead singer. That's Ava on recorder...
[recorder tweeting off-key]
-Ivy on drums... -[growling]
And Uva on guitar.
I'm also the accountant.
[discordant electric guitar riff]
And together we are:
[all] The Villain People!
-[laughing] -Our music
can hypnotize people and make them do evil stuff for us.
Like our laundry!
No, Ava, we're gonna turn them
into our own evil army.
[cackling]
But we haven't done that yet...
because no one's come to our shows.
Ever.
Yeah, it's all Soundcheck's fault.
Everyone's always going to their shows instead of ours.
But now that they're out of the picture,
we finally have our chance to set our evil plan in motion.
[cackling]
-[crowd booing] -Don't worry, everyone,
we have a plan to get Soundcheck back together.
-What is it? -Well, we're going to find
all four members of Soundcheck
and show them they do have things in common.
That just might work.
Anymore questions? Anybody?
Yes, you.
Which glasses do you like better?
These?
Or these?
-The second ones. -The second one, yeah.
I don't even wear glasses.
-What? -[crowd booing]
[shouting over each other]
Thank you for meeting with us.
We are going to prove that you two
have more in common than you think.
-[scoffing] -[both] Good luck.
After thoroughly reading every book about Soundcheck,
I've made a list of things you both like:
dancing, music and jean jackets.
[both] We do love dancing, music and jean jackets!
I missed you, dawg!
I missed you the mostest.
Let's celebrate with a game of squash.
Squash?
I only like outdoor games.
Well, I only like indoor games.
[agents] Oh, no...
Whatever!
[groaning]
We realized getting Soundcheck back together
might take longer than we thought.
So we came up with a backup plan
to stop the Villain people.
[narrator] Orla disguised herself
as the new manager of the Villain People's rehearsal space
in order to stop them.
[Orla] Welcome!
I'm the new manager here.
My name is, um, uh, ah...
Your name is Um Uh Ah?
So punk rock.
Very punk rock.
I like you, Um Uh Ah.
And because I like you
you can wear these.
It's so our music won't turn your brain
into a tool of evil for us to carry out our plans
-of world domination! -[laughing maniacally]
Wait!
You should probably
get some water.
-A water would be great. -Oh, yes, yes, yes.
[speaking over each other]
[speaking indistinctly]
Now to destroy their musical tools.
Rubber Bandinator.
[gadget zapping]
Our instruments!
Did you see what happened to them?
-[Orla] No. -What are we gonna do?
Without instruments we can't make sound.
And without sound we can't put on our show.
And if we don't put on our show
we can't turn people's brains into tools of evil
for us to carry out our plans of world domination!
We can totally do our show.
Sound is super easy to make.
[Orla] Huh?
I can pluck this rubber band
like a guitar.
-[twanging] -[gasping]
Whoa, that's moving back and forth really fast.
It's called vibration.
Yo, man, are we gonna dominate the world
or just sit here learning?
Both, Ivy!
Because those vibrations travel through the air
to hit your ear and make sound.
[gasping] Which means we can play our concert
on these rubber bands!
Well, give it a try, Uva.
Okay. Don't mind if I do.
[twanging]
[humming quietly]
I've never been more excited in my entire life.
I have an idea! What if we can find a game
that can be played both indoors and outdoors?
Then Danny T. and Tony D.
would agree on what to play.
Van computer, pull up a list of games.
We can use a Venn diagram to sort these games
and see if there's a game
that can be played indoors and outdoors.
Exactly! We'll put the games
that can be played indoors in this circle.
And we'll put the games
that can be played outdoors in this circle.
And here in this section, where both circles meet,
are the games that can be played indoors and outdoors.
[all] Oh, yeah...
[both] Whoa, I love basketball!
[both gasping]
Are we best dawgs again?
The bestest!
[chuckling]
[narrator] With two Soundcheck members back on board,
the Odd Squad Mobile Unit
was halfway to reuniting the band
and Agent Orla had to come up with
a new plan to stop the Villain People.
Popcorn break!
-[gasping] Ooh... -Okay!
-Yeah! -Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!
I don't know how it turns into popcorn,
but I like how it tastes.
Now that the Villain People are in search of popped corn,
it is time to exterminate the rubber bands.
Trashinator.
[gadget whirring]
[The Villain People chattering]
-[gasping] -Our rubber bands!
I think they're gone.
How will we take over the world?
Like this.
[clattering]
Yeah, littering, nice.
That's super evil. -No.
-Hm? -Sound is just vibration
-moving through the air, right? -That's right, Uva.
Plucking rubber bands isn't the only way to make sound.
Watch this.
[rhythmic thumping]
Hitting my hand on this trashcan causes vibration too,
which makes the popcorn bounce...
and since vibration makes sound...
We can use these trash cans to play our music!
-What?! -Yeah!
[thumping]
Uva, you rock out with these.
-Ava-- -My turn.
--You are gonna play...
This perfectly normal recorder.
Yeah, a lot of people think the recorder is garbage.
[Eve] Five, six, seven, eight, hah!
[discordant cacophony of sound] -Hah! Hah!
[Opal] Talk to you later.
Orla couldn't stop them.
The Villain People are going to play.
But we still haven't found Ringo or Johnny J.
That means...
[narrator] The Villain People
were about to form their evil army.
How we feeling tonight,
random town whose name I've forgot
and don't care to learn?
Ready to rock?!
[crowd cheering]
[thumping]
[narrator] And there was nothing OSMU could do to stop them.

[Opal] Odd Squad Training Video #,,:
How to Keep Your Squad Happy.
What's going on, agents? Omar here.
When everyone's happy you work better together.
[country music plays]
♪
[Orla & Oswald] Yeah!! Boom!
Another way to make everyone happy is to get a pet.
But, how do you pick a pet that everyone will like?
I used a Venn diagram to help.
A Venn diagram is a visual way to show relationships
between different things.
For example, Orla likes animals that walk on land,
which I put in this circle.
See, peacocks, bears, frogs.
And Oswald likes animals that swim in the water.
Those I put in this circle,
a fish, a frog, an octopus.
See this middle part where the circles go over each other?
That shows animals that walk on land
and swim in water.
And I know of one:
a frog!
See, frog here, frog here,
which means I can put a frog...
here.
So, that's what kind of pet I got.
And Oswald and Orla were so happy!
Oh, I forgot to mention,
my partner Opal says she didn't care what kind pet I got,
as long as she didn't see it,
so I got an invisible frog.
-[frog croaking] -Hey, buddy.
And I just like a lot of pets,
so I got ,!
Say hello, frogs!
[multitude of frogs croaking]
I can't really move,
'cause I don't wanna step on a frog,
but I'm so happy.
And now, the rest of the story.
[thunder crackling]
[narrator] There was a new band in town.
♪
The Villain People had become an overnight sensation.
Meanwhile, OSMU didn't understand
why the Villain People were taking
so long to cause oddness.
If they hypnotized their entire audience last night,
what are they waiting for?!
Truth is, we couldn't agree
on what orders to give our evil army.
I found it very stressful.
Okay, rock minions.
Are you ready for your first evil order?
[crowd cheering]
Every time you hear the word, "pickle,"
you'll return your library books...
-late. -What? No.
I think they should all eat
with their mouths open all the time,
like this.
[crowd gasping in disgust]
Chicas, it's gotta be super evil!
I think everyone should go out,
see the best movies and then spoil the endings for everyone!
-[crowd cheering] -No, that's not evil!
[narrator] The Villain People argued for so long
that the hypnotism wore off
and everyone in the audience left.
Yeah, so we had to put on another show.
Um Uh Ah, your hair is different.
Love it! Very punk rock.
-Very punk rock! -And pretty!
-Mm-mm. -Sorry, punk rock, not pretty.
Is this space still available?
We have another show tonight...
our most hypnotic one yet.
Yeah, because we finally agreed on
what to hypnotize our audience to do.
[The Villain People] Take over the world!
[laughing melodically]
[laughter stops]
So, we need a good rehearse sesh to make sure it's flawless.
Of course! Make yourselves at home.
Mm, thank you so much.
-[trilling] -Okay, bumblebee.
[Uva] Has anyone seen my trash lids?
[narrator] The Big O explained OSMU's new plan
while getting her mid-afternoon shampoo.
All my agents had to do
was make sure Soundcheck played a show
before the Villain People.
But first, they had two more members
of Soundcheck to track down.
Don't forget the eyebrows.
[narrator] Ringo and Johnny J.
had gone back to the jobs they had
before they were superstars,
so the agents knew just where to find them.
I didn't know Ringo was interested
in running a petting zoo.
Petting zoos bring some nature to cities, yo.
♪
What are they doing here?
They're here because they're your bandmates
-and your friends. -No, we're not!
We don't even like any of the same things.
Really? So, you don't like dancing, music,
or jean jackets?
I love all of those things,
especially dancing and music while wearing a jean jacket.
So do we! That's why you've gotta come back
to the band, dawg!
Yeah, we need you, Ringo.
-Okay! -[laughing]
This feels so right, dawgs. You know what we should do?
Get in the van before anyone disagrees on something.
No, we should go to the big zoo so we can see the elephants.
[Opal, Omar & Oswald] Oh, no...
[both] Elephants?
I only like animals that swim.
And I only like animals that fly.
Well, I only like animals that can walk on land.
Guess y'all wasted your time coming here.
And if you'll excuse me, I have to feed my llama.
Well, excuse you.
Yeah, excuse us.
Wait... Come on, guys!
Okay, we're not gonna panic.
All we need to do is find an animal that can fly,
swim and walk on land.
-It's hopeless! -[Oswald] Maybe not.
Can we fit more than two circles in a Venn diagram?
Yes, why?
So we can solve this case.
♪
Whoa, what am I looking at?
It's called a Venn diagram, dawg.
-And it's cool. -These circles represent
what type of animals you each like.
We put the animals that could fly in this circle...
We put the animals that can swim in this circle...
And we put the animals that can walk on land in this circle.
[Omar] And we need to find an animal that fits here,
in the middle of the diagram, where all three circles meet.
Because that means the animal can...
Swim, fly, and walk on land.
And that animal is...
[Tony, Danny & Ringo] A duck?!
I love ducks!
I guess I'm...
-back in the band! -[cheering]
[narrator] Everyone was thrilled
that Ringo had returned to Soundcheck.
Meanwhile, Orla believed she'd discovered
a foolproof way to ruin the Villain People's concert.
If the music is not loud enough to hear
the music cannot hypnotize.
Dirtinator.
[gadget whirring]
-[The Villain People murmuring] -[gasping]
Did you see what happened to our speakers?!
I did not.
You need tighter security in here.
Uh, and a vacuum. This place is filthy!
Who cares about this mess.
Our speakers are gone.
They make our music loud enough for everyone to hear.
Without we can't turn people's brains
into tools of evil.
I know how to fix this.
We'll use this
as a tool to amplify the sound.
Ampli-what?
Amplify.
Remember when I said that sound was just vibrations
moving through the air?
Um, no.
We don't always listen to you.
Well...
if you trap the vibrations
and funnel it into this megaphone,
it amplifies the sound,
making it louder.
-[laughing] -I say prove it.
[loudly] E-V-I-L!
[narrator] Meanwhile, the OSMU team
tracked down Johnny J. at his new job.
I'm afraid you have plantar fasciitis, Mr. Cooper.
The good news is, I could give you exercises
to help with your plantar fascia.
-[door opening] -Yo, dawgs, what's up?!
Oh, I mean, you can't be in here.
I'm with a patient.
We really need to talk to you, Johnny J.
It's Dr. Johnny J., and if you wanna talk to me
you'll have to go make an appointment
with Gabby at the front desk.
But we don't need you to examine our feet,
we need your feet back in Soundcheck.
I can't go back to the band.
I'm the world's top foot doctor!
Plus, I have nothing in common with these dudes.
Yes, you do.
You all love music, dancing and jean jackets.
You're right.
I guess we can be in a band again!
-[laughing] -[gasping]
We should go to lunch
and order something special to celebrate,
like breadsticks
[Opal, Omar & Oswald] Oh, no...
Breadsticks? I don't want no breadsticks.
I only wanna eat something that has sauce.
And I only want something that has meat.
Well, I only want something that has cheese.
And I want something with bread!
I guess we made the right decision to break up
since we can't even agree on what to eat.
[sighing]
[Opal] Wait!
We are not leaving this room until we solve this.
The Villain People are going to hypnotize
their evil army to take over the world
unless you four can agree on what to eat.
[beeping]
So, we're going to make a four circle Venn diagram.
[all] Whoa!
Johnny J. wants bread,
so we'll put foods with breads in this circle.
And Ringo wants something with sauce,
so foods with sauce will go in this circle.
And Tony D. likes cheese,
so cheesy foods will go in this circle.
And Danny T. wants meat,
so we'll put foods with meat in this circle.
In the places where two circles meet
there are foods that have two ingredients.
Like grilled cheese in the section
where the bread circle and the cheese circle meet.
[Johnny & Tony] Yum...
And meatballs would go in the section
where the meat circle and the sauce circle overlap.
[Ringo] Whoa...
And in the small section in the middle,
where all four circles meet,
we'll find foods that you all like.
Hopefully...
[Opal, Omar, & Oswald] Pepperoni pizza!
I love pepperoni pizza!
[Tony, Danny & Ringo] Pepperoni pizza's my favourite!
[all] No, pepperoni pizza's all our favourites!!
How can we ever thank you, Odd Squad?
Oh, I don't know.
How about playing a concert
so nobody goes to the Villain People's show
and gets hypnotized to do evil stuff?
You got it, dawgs.
We must wave the white flag of defeat.
The Villain People are making their way
to the stage as we speak.
I can't believe we failed.
Soundcheck doesn't know the meaning of the word "fail".
Yeah, we carry a dictionary around with us at all times,
but we don't know how to use it.
Wait, if we could still put on a show
before the Villain People?
How? We won't even make it to a stage in time.
Well, the world is our stage!
We could play on the roof of this building.
[all] Yeah!
But you guys don't even have any instruments or speakers.
I believe I can be of assistance with that.

It was a bummer no one came to our show.

I'm the new manager here.
My name is, um, uh, ah...
Your name is Um Uh Ah?
So punk rock.
Very punk rock.
I like you, Um Uh Ah.
And because I like you
you can wear these.
It's so our music won't turn your brain
into a tool of evil for us to carry out our plans
-of world domination! -[laughing maniacally]
Wait!
You should probably
get some water.
-A water would be great. -Oh, yes, yes, yes.
[speaking over each other]
[speaking indistinctly]
Now to destroy their musical tools.
Rubber Bandinator.
[gadget zapping]
Our instruments!
Did you see what happened to them?
-[Orla] No. -What are we gonna do?
Without instruments we can't make sound.
And without sound we can't put on our show.
And if we don't put on our show
we can't turn people's brains into tools of evil
for us to carry out our plans of world domination!
We can totally do our show.
Sound is super easy to make.
[Orla] Huh?
I can pluck this rubber band
like a guitar.
-[twanging] -[gasping]
Whoa, that's moving back and forth really fast.
It's called vibration.
Yo, man, are we gonna dominate the world
or just sit here learning?
Both, Ivy!
Because those vibrations travel through the air
to hit your ear and make sound.
[gasping] Which means we can play our concert
on these rubber bands!
Well, give it a try, Uva.
Okay. Don't mind if I do.
[twanging]
[humming quietly]
I've never been more excited in my entire life.
I have an idea! What if we can find a game
that can be played both indoors and outdoors?
Then Danny T. and Tony D.
would agree on what to play.
Van computer, pull up a list of games.
We can use a Venn diagram to sort these games
and see if there's a game
that can be played indoors and outdoors.
Exactly! We'll put the games
that can be played indoors in this circle.
And we'll put the games
that can be played outdoors in this circle.
And here in this section, where both circles meet,
are the games that can be played indoors and outdoors.
[all] Oh, yeah...
[both] Whoa, I love basketball!
[both gasping]
Are we best dawgs again?
The bestest!
[chuckling]
[narrator] With two Soundcheck members back on board,
the Odd Squad Mobile Unit
was halfway to reuniting the band
and Agent Orla had to come up with
a new plan to stop the Villain People.
Popcorn break!
-[gasping] Ooh... -Okay!
-Yeah! -Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!
I don't know how it turns into popcorn,
but I like how it tastes.
Now that the Villain People are in search of popped corn,
it is time to exterminate the rubber bands.
Trashinator.
[gadget whirring]
[The Villain People chattering]
-[gasping] -Our rubber bands!
I think they're gone.
How will we take over the world?
Like this.
[clattering]
Yeah, littering, nice.
That's super evil. -No.
-Hm? -Sound is just vibration
-moving through the air, right? -That's right, Uva.
Plucking rubber bands isn't the only way to make sound.
Watch this.
[rhythmic thumping]
Hitting my hand on this trashcan causes vibration too,
which makes the popcorn bounce...
and since vibration makes sound...
We can use these trash cans to play our music!
-What?! -Yeah!
[thumping]
Uva, you rock out with these.
-Ava-- -My turn.
--You are gonna play...
This perfectly normal recorder.
Yeah, a lot of people think the recorder is garbage.
[Eve] Five, six, seven, eight, hah!
[discordant cacophony of sound] -Hah! Hah!
[Opal] Talk to you later.
Orla couldn't stop them.
The Villain People are going to play.
But we still haven't found Ringo or Johnny J.
That means...
[narrator] The Villain People
were about to form their evil army.
How we feeling tonight,
random town whose name I've forgot
and don't care to learn?
Ready to rock?!
[crowd cheering]
[thumping]
[narrator] And there was nothing OSMU could do to stop them.

How to Keep Your Squad Happy.
What's going on, agents? Omar here.
When everyone's happy you work better together.
[country music plays]
♪
[Orla & Oswald] Yeah!! Boom!
Another way to make everyone happy is to get a pet.
But, how do you pick a pet that everyone will like?
I used a Venn diagram to help.
A Venn diagram is a visual way to show relationships
between different things.
For example, Orla likes animals that walk on land,
which I put in this circle.
See, peacocks, bears, frogs.
And Oswald likes animals that swim in the water.
Those I put in this circle,
a fish, a frog, an octopus.
See this middle part where the circles go over each other?
That shows animals that walk on land
and swim in water.
And I know of one:
a frog!
See, frog here, frog here,
which means I can put a frog...
here.
So, that's what kind of pet I got.
And Oswald and Orla were so happy!
Oh, I forgot to mention,
my partner Opal says she didn't care what kind pet I got,
as long as she didn't see it,
so I got an invisible frog.
-[frog croaking] -Hey, buddy.
And I just like a lot of pets,
so I got ,!
Say hello, frogs!
[multitude of frogs croaking]
I can't really move,
'cause I don't wanna step on a frog,
but I'm so happy.
And now, the rest of the story.
[thunder crackling]
[narrator] There was a new band in town.
♪
The Villain People had become an overnight sensation.
Meanwhile, OSMU didn't understand
why the Villain People were taking
so long to cause oddness.
If they hypnotized their entire audience last night,
what are they waiting for?!
Truth is, we couldn't agree
on what orders to give our evil army.
I found it very stressful.
Okay, rock minions.
Are you ready for your first evil order?
[crowd cheering]
Every time you hear the word, "pickle,"
you'll return your library books...
-late. -What? No.
I think they should all eat
with their mouths open all the time,
like this.
[crowd gasping in disgust]
Chicas, it's gotta be super evil!
I think everyone should go out,
see the best movies and then spoil the endings for everyone!
-[crowd cheering] -No, that's not evil!
[narrator] The Villain People argued for so long
that the hypnotism wore off
and everyone in the audience left.
Yeah, so we had to put on another show.
Um Uh Ah, your hair is different.
Love it! Very punk rock.
-Very punk rock! -And pretty!
-Mm-mm. -Sorry, punk rock, not pretty.
Is this space still available?
We have another show tonight...
our most hypnotic one yet.
Yeah, because we finally agreed on
what to hypnotize our audience to do.
[The Villain People] Take over the world!
[laughing melodically]
[laughter stops]
So, we need a good rehearse sesh to make sure it's flawless.
Of course! Make yourselves at home.
Mm, thank you so much.
-[trilling] -Okay, bumblebee.
[Uva] Has anyone seen my trash lids?
[narrator] The Big O explained OSMU's new plan
while getting her mid-afternoon shampoo.
All my agents had to do
was make sure Soundcheck played a show
before the Villain People.
But first, they had two more members
of Soundcheck to track down.
Don't forget the eyebrows.
[narrator] Ringo and Johnny J.
had gone back to the jobs they had
before they were superstars,
so the agents knew just where to find them.
I didn't know Ringo was interested
in running a petting zoo.
Petting zoos bring some nature to cities, yo.
♪
What are they doing here?
They're here because they're your bandmates
-and your friends. -No, we're not!
We don't even like any of the same things.
Really? So, you don't like dancing, music,
or jean jackets?
I love all of those things,
especially dancing and music while wearing a jean jacket.
So do we! That's why you've gotta come back
to the band, dawg!
Yeah, we need you, Ringo.
-Okay! -[laughing]
This feels so right, dawgs. You know what we should do?
Get in the van before anyone disagrees on something.
No, we should go to the big zoo so we can see the elephants.
[Opal, Omar & Oswald] Oh, no...
[both] Elephants?
I only like animals that swim.
And I only like animals that fly.
Well, I only like animals that can walk on land.
Guess y'all wasted your time coming here.
And if you'll excuse me, I have to feed my llama.
Well, excuse you.
Yeah, excuse us.
Wait... Come on, guys!
Okay, we're not gonna panic.
All we need to do is find an animal that can fly,
swim and walk on land.
-It's hopeless! -[Oswald] Maybe not.
Can we fit more than two circles in a Venn diagram?
Yes, why?
So we can solve this case.
♪
Whoa, what am I looking at?
It's called a Venn diagram, dawg.
-And it's cool. -These circles represent
what type of animals you each like.
We put the animals that could fly in this circle...
We put the animals that can swim in this circle...
And we put the animals that can walk on land in this circle.
[Omar] And we need to find an animal that fits here,
in the middle of the diagram, where all three circles meet.
Because that means the animal can...
Swim, fly, and walk on land.
And that animal is...
[Tony, Danny & Ringo] A duck?!
I love ducks!
I guess I'm...
-back in the band! -[cheering]
[narrator] Everyone was thrilled
that Ringo had returned to Soundcheck.
Meanwhile, Orla believed she'd discovered
a foolproof way to ruin the Villain People's concert.
If the music is not loud enough to hear
the music cannot hypnotize.
Dirtinator.
[gadget whirring]
-[The Villain People murmuring] -[gasping]
Did you see what happened to our speakers?!
I did not.
You need tighter security in here.
Uh, and a vacuum. This place is filthy!
Who cares about this mess.
Our speakers are gone.
They make our music loud enough for everyone to hear.
Without we can't turn people's brains
into tools of evil.
I know how to fix this.
We'll use this
as a tool to amplify the sound.
Ampli-what?
Amplify.
Remember when I said that sound was just vibrations
moving through the air?
Um, no.
We don't always listen to you.
Well...
if you trap the vibrations
and funnel it into this megaphone,
it amplifies the sound,
making it louder.
-[laughing] -I say prove it.
[loudly] E-V-I-L!
[narrator] Meanwhile, the OSMU team
tracked down Johnny J. at his new job.
I'm afraid you have plantar fasciitis, Mr. Cooper.
The good news is, I could give you exercises
to help with your plantar fascia.
-[door opening] -Yo, dawgs, what's up?!
Oh, I mean, you can't be in here.
I'm with a patient.
We really need to talk to you, Johnny J.
It's Dr. Johnny J., and if you wanna talk to me
you'll have to go make an appointment
with Gabby at the front desk.
But we don't need you to examine our feet,
we need your feet back in Soundcheck.
I can't go back to the band.
I'm the world's top foot doctor!
Plus, I have nothing in common with these dudes.
Yes, you do.
You all love music, dancing and jean jackets.
You're right.
I guess we can be in a band again!
-[laughing] -[gasping]
We should go to lunch
and order something special to celebrate,
like breadsticks
[Opal, Omar & Oswald] Oh, no...
Breadsticks? I don't want no breadsticks.
I only wanna eat something that has sauce.
And I only want something that has meat.
Well, I only want something that has cheese.
And I want something with bread!
I guess we made the right decision to break up
since we can't even agree on what to eat.
[sighing]
[Opal] Wait!
We are not leaving this room until we solve this.
The Villain People are going to hypnotize
their evil army to take over the world
unless you four can agree on what to eat.
[beeping]
So, we're going to make a four circle Venn diagram.
[all] Whoa!
Johnny J. wants bread,
so we'll put foods with breads in this circle.
And Ringo wants something with sauce,
so foods with sauce will go in this circle.
And Tony D. likes cheese,
so cheesy foods will go in this circle.
And Danny T. wants meat,
so we'll put foods with meat in this circle.
In the places where two circles meet
there are foods that have two ingredients.
Like grilled cheese in the section
where the bread circle and the cheese circle meet.
[Johnny & Tony] Yum...
And meatballs would go in the section
where the meat circle and the sauce circle overlap.
[Ringo] Whoa...
And in the small section in the middle,
where all four circles meet,
we'll find foods that you all like.
Hopefully...
[Opal, Omar, & Oswald] Pepperoni pizza!
I love pepperoni pizza!
[Tony, Danny & Ringo] Pepperoni pizza's my favourite!
[all] No, pepperoni pizza's all our favourites!!
How can we ever thank you, Odd Squad?
Oh, I don't know.
How about playing a concert
so nobody goes to the Villain People's show
and gets hypnotized to do evil stuff?
You got it, dawgs.
We must wave the white flag of defeat.
The Villain People are making their way
to the stage as we speak.
I can't believe we failed.
Soundcheck doesn't know the meaning of the word "fail".
Yeah, we carry a dictionary around with us at all times,
but we don't know how to use it.
Wait, if we could still put on a show
before the Villain People?
How? We won't even make it to a stage in time.
Well, the world is our stage!
We could play on the roof of this building.
[all] Yeah!
But you guys don't even have any instruments or speakers.
I believe I can be of assistance with that.

Once again, the Villain People had no audience to hypnotize.
It was a bummer no one came to our show.
The music biz, it's tough, man.
-Harder than it looks. -So tough.
