[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

blue

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

yep partner it's the universe the real

wide open spaces where a buckaroo can

hitch up his asteroid belt mosey on down

the old milky way trail

are you sure this is the right script i

don't even know what a buckaroo is

and why is there a horse in the

announcer booth

you're making a clown this is your idea

of a good time not just any cloud track

see a cloud thick enough to cover this

a giant magnet floating right over zulu

patrol headquarters oh well i'm sure

they'll appreciate the thought but next

year maybe just a nice fruit basket

don't you see

next time they answer a distress call

their ship will fly through the cloud

rub up against the magnets and become

magnetized which will make their ship

totally useless

you've given me the gift of knowledge

and split ends

[Music]

i win again this is ridiculous i don't

want to play anymore you mean you don't

want to lose anymore come on one more

time i dare you to race me maybe you'll

even beat me

first one to touch that weird cloud wind

[Music]

that's it i've had enough of your silly

dares whiz i'm steering clear of you

from now on

[Music]

hey let go you let go

if this is another one of your games

with i don't like

[Music]

what are you doing in my salad you're

supposed to be helping malto in the lab

sorry

[Music]

and you're supposed to be helping cedar

with the ship's maintenance

[Music]

i'm testing my dancing watering can it

waters my tulips while teaching them the

bunny hop

hey give me a break i mean don't give me

a break

hmm this is most irregular oh you're

telling me

something strange just happened with

lizzy what kind of something strange

that kind of something strange

most irregular indeed but i have a

theory help me get these metal objects

out of the lab so they don't fly onto

wizzy and wig again

that's it i quit i'm going back to my

old job as a toothbrush holder

what's going on malto

just as i suspected they've become

magnetized

magnetized

i don't get it i thought magnets were

made of metal yes but only certain

metals such as iron can be magnetized

wait a minute now i remember

whizzy and wig have iron in their shells

but how did you get magnetized i don't

know we've had this problem ever since i

raised wig to a weird cloud

feed him too

then that's the answer that cloud must

be magnetic

no bulla clouds are made of water and a

tiny bit of dust they can't be

magnetized

with the wig must have rubbed against

some sort of magnet hey we did rub

against something inside that cloud

remember that's right

so this is all your fault you dare me to

race up there you didn't have to take

the dare

[Music]

how long is this going to last moto i'm

afraid that once magnetized iron can

remain that way indefinitely that's a

long time right

perhaps it's time to consult the

multopedia

[Music]

in prehistoric times people found that

certain types of rocks attract metal

objects that attract or repel metal are

called magnets

every magnet has two ends called a north

pole and a south pole a north pole

attracts a south pole and a south pole

attracts the north pole however a south

pole repels or pushes away another south

pole and a north pole repels another

north pole

huh so opposite poles attract each other

and like poles repel each other that

means wig and i really are magnetized my

head is a north pole attracting my tail

which is a support north pole south

poles those planets have those too

precisely planet earth for instance is

one giant magnet with a north and a

south pole

that's all fine but what about us we've

become magnetic misfits yeah what if we

stay this way we'll have to spend the

rest of our lives up to shovels and

things malto can something that's been

magnetized be demagnetized well

according to the multipedia dropping

hitting or shaking a magnet can

sometimes demagnetize it it's worth a

try

[Music]

i'll go get my old hypersonic shoe

buffer what's going on i've been waiting

hours why don't those zulu patrollers

fly through my cloud don't they go on

patrol anymore where's their sense of

duty

what's this world coming to traxxy

[Music]

[Music]

just making sure we don't fly anywhere

near that cloud the next time we take

off we don't want our ship to end up

magnetized like wizzy and wig oh those

flying nightlights have foiled my plan

time to institute plan d

or decoy how about plan z for zanier

than a zebra

[Music]

did it work

oh dear no you two are still magnetized

your north pole is stuck to wig south

pole because remember opposite poles

attract

[Music]

it's a distress call from the ring

master of the intergalactic circus his

interstellar circus ship is broken down

this is a job for the zula patrol

steer clear of that cloud

[Music]

are you the intergalactic circus master

in poisson

step right up

see the ferocious and terrifying lunar

lion

roar

uh yes well uh

we'd better help them you need to get

closer so you can attach your tor chains

no

don't let this throw you

i can't control the ship i think it's

been magnetized how do you know

the zulu patrol is now as useless as a

refrigerator magnet

we're at full power and i can't pull

away from it

soda pop but

[Music]

pop wait good idea gorga we can pop off

the hinges

that vortex is getting closer whatever

you're going to do you better do it

there

[Music]

wow that was bad

cedar engage thrusters

[Music]

now we can make it back to zula

excellent because i have an idea how to

de-magnetize the ship

[Music]

i won't let them get away again

[Music]

did i just rub against my old magnet

no

no

[Applause]

luckily i remember that heat can also

demagnetize the magnet luckily

[Music]

tasty thanks for the snack this is so

or cool

sorry my deer got us into all this wig

that's okay but next time i'll think

about your dare before i decide whether

to do it

that's the last one

and so as dark sh**ter slowly sinks into

the west we mosey off into the sunset

get along little trudeau get along

[Music]

ah it's time for our molto moment

come a little closer now do you remember

what we call the two poles on a magnet i

know i know platform and totem pole not

exactly what i had in mind

what do you think

that's right the two poles on a magnet

are the north pole and the south pole

just like the earth which is the really

big magnet and remember opposite poles

attract and light poles repel

[Laughter]

bye bye for now

[Music]

space. There's so much you'd have to try

extra hard to trip over anything out

here. And even if you did, you'd never

fall down. But if I had to live on a

planet, I'd want to be a worm. That way,

if I tripped, I wouldn't have too far to

fall.

[Music]

[Music]

Next stop, the South Pole. A quick check

there and we've completed our daily

rounds.

I I captain setting course for the South

Pole of Zula.

But that's at the bottom of Zula. Won't

we be upside down and fall off?

Goodness know, wig, you'll still be

right side up.

[Music]

Hey, we really are right side up just

like we would be back home.

And we didn't fall off.

Yes, thanks to gravity.

What's gravity?

It's the invisible force that pulls us

toward the center of the planet.

And it keeps us from falling off the

planet and floating into space.

Right. Let's take a look in the

multtopedia.

[Music]

We'll use Earth as an example.

See, Earth's gravity makes this ball

fall, pulling it toward the center of

the planet. Whether we drop it here,

[Music]

or here.

That's gravity pulling it down.

Is gravity the same everywhere?

Oh, no. Some things have more gravity

than others. For example, the gravity on

Earth is stronger than the gravity on

Mercury. I can show you what I mean if

you and Wizzy help me.

Sure, Moto. Okay.

Could

[Music]

you please jump up and down for us? And

no using your wings.

Wig is pulled toward the center of Earth

more than Wizzy is pulled toward the

center of Mercury.

Why, Moto?

It's because Earth has more stuff in it

than Mercury does. That stuff is called

mass. The more stuff or mass something

has, the more pull it has from its

gravity.

[Music]

Thanks, Moto. But I'm still not sure I

understand mass and why it has anything

to do with gravity.

I know a way to explain it back home.

I could also make us some molto cocoa. I

love Moto Coco to the ship.

[Music]

Sorry.

[Music]

Now everyone, give me your cocoa mugs.

[Music]

Let's pretend Wizzy and Wig's toy chests

are real planets. Now, what can you tell

me about them?

Wig's planet has more cocoa mugs inside

it.

Exactly. Wig's planet has more stuff in

it. That means it has more mass, which

is the amount of stuff in something. The

more mass a planet has, the stronger its

pull from gravity will be.

Why don't we have some more cocoa? Then

we can all have more math.

Double higgle piggle. You owe me 10

twiddles.

Hey, look.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Hey, you order cable.

Hey, it's not that bad. I never tried

sewing a flight jacket before.

Sorry, Zeter. We just saw something in

the room. Something pink and weird

besides your jacket. Was it a pink light

with the image of a spaceship landing on

Zula? Then aliens left the craft and

crawled around like heavy boots weighed

them down.

Exactly. Wow. It's like you were seeing

it yourself.

I am.

My

What is it, Moldo? Who are they?

What should we do? I say we investigate

this. Follow that beam team. This is a

job for the Zula patrol.co.

[Music]

Blurp. Uh

amigos. Hail Zans. Take us to your

ladder. Uh later.

Greetings from Pokeria. Learn of a

thousand dances, mostly pokers.

Mango F.

Huh?

[Music]

What a revoling development.

[Music]

Remlads very much. My name's Moab and

this is Larmy and Quirly.

We come from a planet far, far away.

Then hang a left.

I'm Bula and we're the Zula Patrol. Is

that your ship?

Yeah, it's a real Flinger, eh? And only

600 zillion miles on it, but it's

slightly

kaput.

[Music]

Ow.

Whoops.

It's no use. We just wanted to explore

your planet. But now we're moving like

fish in peanut butter.

Yum.

How did this happen?

When we flew over Azula, our ship, the

Queen was pulled down to the surface by

a powerful force. That same mysterious

force made us feel so heavy

we could barely move.

So, we sent you picture messages, hoping

you'd find us. or at least right back.

May I use this cow to help me explain

what I believe is the cause of all your

trouble?

Likely.

Polodaria has less stuff in it, less

mass than Zula, so it has less gravity.

Zula's stronger gravity pulled you down,

forcing you to land, and it made it hard

for you to move. You're not just

whistling Vinklnorf.

What if we took them to a planet in the

solar system that has the same gravity

and mass as Poladia?

Oh my. That's it.

I know just the planet.

Next stop, Mercury.

Mercury was a good call, Zeta. It has

the same mass and gravity as Poladonia.

[Music]

Yeah, we're really light here. Look, we

can jump high because we're not being

pulled as hard to the center of Mercury

as we are on our planet. But the pool of

Mercury is just right for the

Polocadians because their planet has

exactly the same gravity.

Well, the Queen Nurgle is as good as

new. Thanks, Oblifog.

Well,

I'll miss you guys.

Likewise, pal. On Pocodia, it's our

custom with new friends to exchange

gifts.

This little beauty is all yours.

Thanks.

Uh,

Zeter, do we have anything? Anything at

all that that we can give these nice

folks?

I'll find something.

[Music]

Oh, there's nothing here. What would a

Padian like anyway?

I don't think so. Beautiful.

Magnificent. It's stunning.

[Music]

This has to be the best spaceship cover

I've ever seen.

Hey, guys. That's really great.

What a wonderful way to celebrate

friendship.

Well, as they say on Saturn, give us a

ring sometime. Till then, shalom. Uh,

ciao.

Flegal, Nar, y'all.

Bye.

Bye-bye. Have a safe flight now.

So long. Thanks for everything.

Byebye.

And so we leave our Zunula patrollers

with new friends, new memories, and a

cow. Until next time. See you later,

Farflinator.

[Music]

Hi everyone. It's time for our Maltto

moment. Come on in. Every time I throw

this ball up, it comes back down. Can

you tell me why?

That's right. The ball is pulled back

down because of gravity.

We can't actually see gravity. It's an

invisible force that pulls everything

toward the center of the Earth. Of

course, the amount of stuff in something

also plays an important part in how much

gravity it has. For instance, Wig is

pulled toward the center of Earth more

than Wizzy is pulled toward the center

of Mercury. That's because Earth has

more stuff in it than Mercury does. So,

Earth has more gravity. The more stuff

or mass something has, the more gravity

it has to pull things toward it.

Oh, and then the Gorga, who likes to

pull everyone around.

[Music]
