<v Speaker 2>I was confused for a minute after I first hit play.
<v Speaker 2>I thought that it said it was from Matthew, but
<v Speaker 2>I was sure that that was actually Unicorse. Did that
<v Speaker 2>sound like Unicorse to you?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it absolutely sounded like Unicorse. Great impression, Matthew.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was quite good. And I do love Unicorse too.

<v Speaker 5>Where are we going?
<v Speaker 6>We could go to mos Oh, we could go to
<v Speaker 6>a black Hot Let's go to moz It's Scott Aliens.
<v Speaker 2>No it doesn't, Stella. Could you tell us what was
<v Speaker 2>going on? At the beginning of this episode.
<v Speaker 5>McKenzie, Rusty, and Jack were walking in the Grasshut school
<v Speaker 5>and they're going over to a boat to play Space.
<v Speaker 5>They were trying to figure out what roles they wanted
<v Speaker 5>to be. Rusty was the captain, Mackenzie was the chief scientist,
<v Speaker 5>and Jack was a navigator, and he happened to know
<v Speaker 5>a lot about space, and.
<v Speaker 2>He was telling us what a black hole is.
<v Speaker 5>What's a black hole?
<v Speaker 6>It's a son that got really small and makes a hole.
<v Speaker 6>I think, what happens if you go in it?
<v Speaker 2>One?
<v Speaker 5>Nice?
<v Speaker 1>Does it good?
<v Speaker 5>Aliens? I don't think so.
<v Speaker 6>Then we're going to Moss, Rusty, there's not.
<v Speaker 1>Aliens or Moss.
<v Speaker 2>They get set to play and we find out that
<v Speaker 2>Jack is actually a robot or something. Henry what is
<v Speaker 2>his name?
<v Speaker 5>Due to Tron?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I loved that so much, due to Tron. What
<v Speaker 2>a great name. What was one of the first things
<v Speaker 2>that happened when they were in their spaceship.
<v Speaker 5>They had just launched into space and they're going and
<v Speaker 5>then they him.
<v Speaker 2>Meteor But it wasn't a meteor. Jack told him what
<v Speaker 2>it really was and what was that?
<v Speaker 5>It really was an asteroid?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very good. Stella. Mackenzie got out on his space
<v Speaker 2>tether to take a look at the back and what
<v Speaker 2>was going on back there.
<v Speaker 5>He said that there was damage to something, but he
<v Speaker 5>couldn't think of the word and Jack told him that
<v Speaker 5>it was the boosters.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Jack, he knows a lot about spaceships, doesn't he, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he does. When they're out there, they're concerned that Mackenzie
<v Speaker 2>might get hurt by more not meteors, but asteroids, and
<v Speaker 2>due to Tron says there aren't any. But then what happens, Amanda.
<v Speaker 4>Well, Mackenzie is out there, he gets hit by another
<v Speaker 4>asteroid and it takes him flying out into space, and
<v Speaker 4>they try to get him back by pulling in his tether,
<v Speaker 4>but once they got the teather all pulled in, he
<v Speaker 4>wasn't on the other end of it. So then Russey
<v Speaker 4>decides that he's going to go out to rescue Mackenzie.
<v Speaker 4>So he puts the tether on and he goes out
<v Speaker 4>and Deudatron says that he saw him behind the satellite,
<v Speaker 4>which is actually the tree.
<v Speaker 2>Very good, and they get out there and rescue Mackenzie
<v Speaker 2>from behind the satellite. Henry, what do they do next?
<v Speaker 5>They land on the Moon so then they can repair
<v Speaker 5>the ship and Jack asks Mackenzie, how did your tether
<v Speaker 5>come unhooked? It's really strong? Did you unhook it? And
<v Speaker 5>then McKenzie says finished and doesn't answer the.
<v Speaker 2>Question, and he just walks away, doesn't Heah. They get
<v Speaker 2>ready to take off, but what do they see is
<v Speaker 2>going on? Stella?
<v Speaker 5>They see that Mackenzie is gone, so they go to
<v Speaker 5>find him and he is sitting down by himself.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he seems pretty sad, doesn't he? Yeah? He does, Amanda,
<v Speaker 2>what is going on with Mackenzie?
<v Speaker 4>When they ask Mackenzie what he's doing there, he tells
<v Speaker 4>them that they left him behind on purpose, and they said, no,
<v Speaker 4>we didn't. And we find out that he wants to
<v Speaker 4>pretend that they leave him behind and that he is
<v Speaker 4>all alone.
<v Speaker 6>McKenzie, your tenant didn't write Getting You Unhooked?
<v Speaker 2>It is that true?
<v Speaker 1>Gye Scientist.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I want to pretend that you leave me behind
<v Speaker 3>and I'm all alone?
<v Speaker 5>Why? I don't know.
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'm not sure we can pretend that yet. To
<v Speaker 6>get to Mars, we need a chief scientist to put
<v Speaker 6>us into a hypeless sleep. Oh okay, are you sure
<v Speaker 6>we can't go to.
<v Speaker 5>The black Hole?
<v Speaker 6>No, it doesn't have aliens, neither does much.
<v Speaker 2>He's not sure why he wants to play that, and
<v Speaker 2>he had also admitted that he unhooked his teather on purpose,
<v Speaker 2>and Rusty can't make any sense of this. But Jack,
<v Speaker 2>I mean Doudatron says this is how he wants to
<v Speaker 2>play Henry. How do they end up getting Mackenzie back
<v Speaker 2>to the ship?
<v Speaker 5>Jack says that they need their chief scientists to prepare
<v Speaker 5>them for hyper sleep. So then Mackenzie decides to come back.
<v Speaker 2>To the ship because they need him, right, Yeah, And
<v Speaker 2>what do you think hyper sleep is?
<v Speaker 5>I think it's where you're sleep but everything else is
<v Speaker 5>going on around you. Actually, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times in space travel movies like this,
<v Speaker 2>they put you into a special sleep that lets you
<v Speaker 2>travel super long distances, but to you, it's like only
<v Speaker 2>a few hours have passed. And that's what they're doing here,
<v Speaker 2>because they're traveling through the vastness of space. But something
<v Speaker 2>happens while almost everyone is asleep, Stella, what is it?
<v Speaker 5>Mackenzie wakes up and he changes the course of directions
<v Speaker 5>to go to a.
<v Speaker 2>Black hole exactly. And what is the black hole?
<v Speaker 5>It's a tunnel.
<v Speaker 2>Mackenzie just stands there staring at it for a little while,
<v Speaker 2>and we're not sure what's going on about it, Amanda,
<v Speaker 2>what happens?
<v Speaker 4>Mackenzie explains that he wants to go to the black Hole.
<v Speaker 4>He's not sure why, and so Rusty and Jack try
<v Speaker 4>to talk him out of it, but then Rusty finally
<v Speaker 4>says it's just the way that he wants to play,
<v Speaker 4>So they let him go ahead and travel off to
<v Speaker 4>the black Hole. And he tells Rusty and Jack that
<v Speaker 4>they should go ahead and go on to Mars without him.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because he said it's his job as the chief
<v Speaker 2>scientist and that he'll go alone because he doesn't want
<v Speaker 2>anything to happen to them, Henry. When Mackenzie starts walking
<v Speaker 2>through the tunnel, what happens?
<v Speaker 5>A flashback happened to where Mackenzie was going downslide and
<v Speaker 5>he wondered where his mom was.
<v Speaker 2>He was a little kid, right, he was a little
<v Speaker 2>tiny boy in this memory. Yeah, and he is convinced
<v Speaker 2>that his mom left him behind, right Yeah. But who
<v Speaker 2>shows up to talk to him?
<v Speaker 5>Calypso are you okay remember me behind? She didn't.
<v Speaker 4>You just got mixed up in the slot.
<v Speaker 6>She's just over that.
<v Speaker 4>He a man, see this she is Mackenzie, you know
<v Speaker 4>what's he and l You don't need to keep coming.
<v Speaker 6>Back to this place, Okay, now, Ron McKenzie, come on,
<v Speaker 6>come on.
<v Speaker 2>Play Jesse, come on, we cut back to real time
<v Speaker 2>and the girls are over there playing stell what is happening?
<v Speaker 5>The girls were dressed up as butterflies or fairies for
<v Speaker 5>something like that, And once McKenzie went to the tunnel,
<v Speaker 5>they started trying to take him.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the boys decided that those must be aliens.
<v Speaker 2>And what a wild escape they made. Amanda, what happens next?
<v Speaker 4>Rusty and Jack rescue McKenzie from the aliens, pull him
<v Speaker 4>back through the black hole in getting back to the spaceship.
<v Speaker 2>Henry, what was the last thing they did?
<v Speaker 5>They did crew check? Like roll call?
<v Speaker 6>Come on, we should have enough petro left to get
<v Speaker 6>in a moss.
<v Speaker 5>Dude a drunk?
<v Speaker 1>Can you do a crew check?
<v Speaker 5>Yes?
<v Speaker 6>Jack, Captain here, navigate to here, Chief Scientists.
<v Speaker 3>Here.
<v Speaker 2>And that was the episode, Henry. Did we forget anything?
<v Speaker 5>Nope? I don't think so.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what it's time for.
<v Speaker 4>Did we learn anything today?
<v Speaker 2>Amanda? Could you tell us what were we supposed to
<v Speaker 2>learn today?
<v Speaker 4>I think that we were supposed to learn that it's
<v Speaker 4>okay to face your fears. It may be kind of scary,
<v Speaker 4>but we always have friends there that can give us
<v Speaker 4>some good advice and help support us and we can
<v Speaker 4>work through those fears.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, very good. What about you, Stella? I'm not
<v Speaker 2>sure what about you, Henry.
<v Speaker 5>I agree with mom on this one here.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Amanda, you did a really good job. I think
<v Speaker 2>one of the things here is during the game, Mackenzie
<v Speaker 2>obviously has something on his mind. He's not really present
<v Speaker 2>in the moment, and something is nagging at him or
<v Speaker 2>gnawing at him, and he's not even sure what it is,
<v Speaker 2>and he's distracted by a memory. And what ends up
<v Speaker 2>happening is he remembers a moment when he was young
<v Speaker 2>where he was very scared and he felt like his
<v Speaker 2>mom had to abandon him, and for whatever reason, mentally,
<v Speaker 2>he keeps going back to that place, right and Calypso
<v Speaker 2>was there to tell him, you don't have to keep
<v Speaker 2>coming back here. You know that everything worked out. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>your mom was right there, remember, So you don't need
<v Speaker 2>to let this keep weighing you down and upsetting you.
<v Speaker 2>You need to let go of it, because that's what
<v Speaker 2>was happening, is he was holding on to something that
<v Speaker 2>had happened to him, and it was keeping him from
<v Speaker 2>being present in the moment. And that's why when they
<v Speaker 2>did that crew check. He said he was there. He
<v Speaker 2>was back in the moment and ready to put that
<v Speaker 2>past that scared him behind him and look forward. So
<v Speaker 2>it was about conquering your fears, like you said, and
<v Speaker 2>being present in the moment, not letting the past continue
<v Speaker 2>to haunt you.
<v Speaker 4>Gotcha. Yes, I agree, that is very well put.
<v Speaker 2>I love that Calypso was the one who came to
<v Speaker 2>talk to him. He has the most calm and reassuring
<v Speaker 2>tender yeah, but still very like a firm guiding hand.
<v Speaker 2>She is the perfect character for that. That is so sweet. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>And admittedly this one's pretty heady. It's one of those
<v Speaker 2>things where you feel the emotion, but you have to
<v Speaker 2>really think about what is it about this that's impacting
<v Speaker 2>me so much?
<v Speaker 5>Right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And honestly, when you think about it, that's really
<v Speaker 2>what Mackenzie was going through. I don't know why this
<v Speaker 2>upsets me so bad, but it does. And I'm not
<v Speaker 2>sure what that's about, right, And just the doubt of
<v Speaker 2>it was what was holding him back. But anyway, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>there we go. Does anybody have any parting thoughts about
<v Speaker 2>the episode?
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Henry, I think this episode's a good one and
<v Speaker 5>I just like it.
<v Speaker 2>I do too.
<v Speaker 4>I loved their imagination playing on a space ship the
<v Speaker 4>whole Douda Tron and Mackenzie going out to do a
<v Speaker 4>spacewalk to check damage to the ship and everything. Their
<v Speaker 4>imagination is. It's so good, it's refreshing.
<v Speaker 5>I really liked this episode because I like being able
<v Speaker 5>to see the stories of the side characters, because most
<v Speaker 5>of the episodes are just about Blue and Bingo and
<v Speaker 5>their family, So it's nice to be able to see
<v Speaker 5>the side characters be the main character in an episode.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>It really helps fill out the world, doesn't it.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it does.
<v Speaker 4>I agree.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Amanda, when you said their imaginations, it reminded me
<v Speaker 2>when I was a puppy, I mean, a little boy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and I would play space with my friends. Just how
<v Speaker 2>much that style of play was what my friends and
<v Speaker 2>I did. It was so so cute.
<v Speaker 4>I bet you're a really cute play in Space is
<v Speaker 4>a little boy?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Maybe. Oh and I really really liked how concerned
<v Speaker 2>Mackenzie's friends were for him.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was super sweet.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because you could tell that they knew something was.
<v Speaker 2>Was wrong, but they didn't know how to help them,
<v Speaker 2>and they wanted to help them, even if it made
<v Speaker 2>it awkward for them, Like, well, he wants to play
<v Speaker 2>like this even though we don't understand, we should let
<v Speaker 2>him do it, yeah, and then help him. Yeah, And
<v Speaker 2>them pulling him back in I think really made him
<v Speaker 2>feel like loved And oh my gosh, it's just so sweet.
<v Speaker 4>My friends are here for me.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so sweet. I love seeing these stories about these
<v Speaker 2>kids having fun like this.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's really cute when we see the episodes where
<v Speaker 4>their imaginations are just out there, so cute.
<v Speaker 2>Amanda was doing some hand signs that helped explain what
<v Speaker 2>she meant by big imagination. Yes, I wish you guys
<v Speaker 2>could have seen it.
<v Speaker 5>But.
<v Speaker 2>Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome. And until next time,
<v Speaker 2>we are out of here.
<v Speaker 4>Bye guys, Bye bye
