Good morning, campers.
Before we get started,I have a very important announcement.
Big Stinky is back!
[ALL GASP]
You're darn right he is.
And he's going to make this the best summer ever.
Finn, you're not Big Stinky.
Have you smelled his pile of dirty clothes?
He's not Small Stinky.
I mean, Big Stinky,as in that nasty old skunk
who used to terrorize this camp.
He was recently seen in the area by a few counselors
who are sadly no longer with us.
He killed them?
No! They resigned after he turned his heinie hose on full blast
and drenched them in a funky butt bath.
You really paint a picture with your words?
Everyone just stay vigilant.
Moving on, I am very excited to announce
that I've decided to start a day camp for the little kids
of Moose Rump called Camp Pee-Wee Waka.
Let's try that again.
Camp Pee-Wee Waka.
This is only gonna end if we clap, guys.
Thank you.
And I actually need a couple of counselors to volunteer to lead the kids.
What poor sap...
I'm your man!
Noah, I haven't even given you all the details yet.
Doesn't matter.
I'm a joiner with an unhealthy fear of being excluded.
Wow. Lots to unpack there,but I actually need two counselors.
Ava volunteers too.
We're two halves of a counseling super duo.
Uh, unsubscribe.
Too bad. No backsies.
You're subscribedfirst issue's already in the mail,
and I've lostthis metaphor, but you're doing it.
So, when do thosecute little ragamuffins get here?
[VIBRATING]
I think now.
How many are there?
[APPROACHING SCREAMS AND FOOTSTEPS]
Okay. Nobody panic.
They can sense your fear.
[THUDDING][ALL SCREAM]
[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
♪ Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka
Uh, Lou, you wanted to see us?
How can I bein trouble already?
There's no way you found it yet.
Ignoring that.
I called you here todaybecause the campershave been saying
they want a campnews show.
And you want me to host it?
Actually, I want you and Finn to host it.
Destiny, you have your finger on the pulse of this camp,
and Finn, you have...Your finger in your ear.
What's that? Speak up!
My finger's in my ear.
Point is, the campis much saferwhen he is busy.
This is so cool.
We can do a hard hitting news show with a focus on environmentalism.
It'll be so much more effective than my "Shame on you" bulletin board.
Let's see them try and throw a news show in the lake.
What do you want me to do, Lou?
You are technical director.
You're in charge of sound, and Finn, and the sounds that come out of Finn.
I guess it's true.
In showbiz, you've got to start at the bottom.
Well, I'm off to dig a holefor the new septic tank.
You know what they say? With a massive influx of campers,
comes a massive out-flux.
Again withthe word pictures.
All right, Pee-Wees.
Let's begin our al fresco adventure with some introductions.
Who wants to go...They call me
Nadine "The Machine"! Cha-cha!
I'm a superhero in training.
And once I find an archnemesis to battle,
the "in training" label gets blown to smithereens.
Okay, so, that's a lot.
Why "The Machine"?
Because I'm mostly made of metal.
It all started in pre-K when I was trying to leap
seven lunchboxes in a single bound.
That's how I got the first pin in my leg.
You're gonna be fun.
My mom says I'm the reason
our doctor drives such a fancy car.
How about we get to know each other better through an activity?
Let me take a look at my sched.
Noah, I don't think these kids need such a heavily structured schedule.
Say sched.
It saves time.
Unstructured free time is how kids learn self reliance and independence.
There should only be one rule.
Nobody says "Sched."
Ava, kids needconstant guidance and supervision.
I believe in the three Hs. Hands-on, Hover and Hamburgers.
What? I nurture the mind and the tummy.
I'm nervous.
What if I don't know what to say?
Also, I didn't know I was supposed to dress up.
I would have worn a shirt with classier stains.
I got a polo covered Dijon mustard in here somewhere.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY] Pop, pop, pop, pop! [EXHALES]
Are you okay?
I'm doing vocal exercises.
You have to warm up your vocal chords like a muscle.
Really?
I usually just let my vocal cords hang out and eat potato chips.
Okay, we're almost ready.
Can you guys test your mics?
Wait. I was told there would be no test.
And who is this Mike guy?
Should I have been more specific?
That's on me.
All right, we're on air in three, two...
Hello, and welcome to Talking About Waka.
I'm...
[PLAYING JAUNTY TUNE]
What are you doing?
Playing our theme song, duh!
The floor is yours.
Anyway, I'm your host, Destiny Baker.
And I'm Finn, camper.
Here are today's top headlines.
Big Stinky's reign of terror continues
as two kids found themselves
on the wrong end of his caustic keister cannon.
And in other news, campers were shocked to discover
a rather disturbing sight in our lake.
A bag of chicken butts.
It was not a bag of chicken butts.
It was a bag of trash.
How do you know it wasn't chicken butts?
Because chickens don't have butts!
This just in!
Listeners to beon the lookout for a flock of buttless chickens.
[ALL LAUGHING]
Sorry.
Later, we'll do a deep dive on the new non-biodegradable corn dog wrappers.
But first, a list of campers who don't turn off the water
while they brush their teeth.
But even first-ier, I'm going to show everyone
I can fit my whole fist in my mouth.
Psst, it's radio.
They can't see you.
Right.
Maybe everyone could listen to me
fit my whole fist in my mouth.
Let's take a quick break.
Cool, I'll play us out.
Matteo!
Sorry, it's catchy!
All right! We've arrived at Moot Point,
right on sched.
Great. I can look for my arch nemesis up here.
Unless they're invisible.
Hyah!
Nope, not there.
[GRUNTS] Nothing, dang-it!
Anyways,
let's check our work sheets
to see who identified the most plants on the way up.
Or, since this issupposed to be a fun hike and not a science lesson,
I have a better idea of these worksheets.
Whee!
Got any other ideas I can throw off a cliff?
Can you stop undermining me with Pee-Wees?
I know what I'm doing.
Someone even said I was the best counselor here last summer.
Your mom doesn't count.
She does to me!
Well, I wasa great counselor last summer, too.
Eventually.
Well, then, maybe each of us should take half of the kids
and see whose method works better.
Structure and supervision? Or Pee-Wee free for all?
Noah, you want to turn our sacred duty
of caring for these children into a competition?
I'm in.
Deal! Whoa!
Something smells nasty.
If that came from you,
you just made a very powerful enemy.
Smells like a skunk.
Oh, no! Big Stinky!
Continue this contentiousyet respectful rivalry back at camp?
Race you there! Come on, kids!
Whoosh!
Congratulations on being in the best group.
Now with Big Stinky on the loose,
we're going to be inside, doing a play.
If you knew me, you'd know, it was always going to end this way.
This script is based on the timeless tale
of arachnophobia and mid-morning munchies.
Little Miss Muffet.
Two questions.
Who is this Little Miss Muffet,
and what are her superpowers?
So, no superpowers per se.
Just an ordinary girl who was eating her curds and whey
when a spider scared her off.
Sounds kind of weak.
Nadine "The Machine" would never run away from a spider.
Well, Little Miss Muffetwould, and does. It's cannon.
[GASPS] So the spider has a cannon?
Now we're talking.
No, no one has a cannon, and no more rewrites.
I already changed the tuffet to a couch.
Lou, will you pleasetell Little Miss Difficult over here
that people have certain expectations of the classics?
Noah, we are living in the time of Hamilton. Loosen up.
What happened to your hands?
Well, when I was digging an area for the new septic tank,
I unearthed a family of gophers.
Oh! That sounds adorable.
Yeah.
Not when they're stripping the flesh off your fingers
like chicken wings at a football game!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm really in the mood for some chicken wings.
Ironic. I know!
[DESTINY MUMBLING]
Ooh, what's going on here?
These kids wanted a tour of the studio because they love our show.
Really? Was it my environmental expose?
"Plastic six pack rings.
"A convenient way to carry your sodas
"or handcuffs for a dolphin?"
Better. They want me to teach them how to do the perfect armpit fart.
So during our afternoon show, I'll be doing a segment
called Finn's Toot-orials.
Get it?
[LAUGHING]
They do.
But what about all the breaking news around camp?
The only thing that'sgonna be breaking news...Don't say it!
Wind.
Are you okay?
I just don't get it!
I'm the one talking about the important stuff,
and they're alllistening to the guy who thinks
we have a third host named Mike.
Ah, is someone saying smart stuff
but Finn's getting all the attention? [CHUCKLES]
I have no idea what that feels like!
Hey, if anyone wants a shout out on the air,
just tell me who's named a burp.
Not you, Alessandra Marie.
I'm only human.
[GRUNTS]
Nadine!
I bet you're glad you leftNoah's group and came to mine,
where you're free to explore whatever you're into.
Madison is building a fort.
Marcy is playing with trucks
and Aidan is officiating a lizard wedding.
Kid of nice not being the weirdest kid in the group.
So, what you drawing?
I'm making a comic book.
This is me protecting the camp.
That's Noah telling me to keep to the sketch.
And these arethe Pee-Wees dying of boredom
in a play with no cannons.
Amazing.
Nadine, if this camp had a fridge, that would so be on it.
This camp doesn't have a fridge?
We're not allowed to talk about it.
The food here is legally fine.
Okay, gang! Time for lunch.
Hope everybody's in the mood for warm baloney.
Oh, and if anybody sees Big Stinky, find Noah,
and hide behind him.
The Machine doesn't hide from danger!
Big Stinky, prepare to meet your match.
You saw nothing.
Whoosh!
There you are. I need to talk to you.
Whoa. What happened here?
Funny you should ask.
After losing a land battle and my fingertips
to a family of gophers, I then had to move my digging spot.
Then, I hit a pipe where all the food goes
after we run it through the garbage disposal.
But please, what are your problems?
It's about Finn.
He's being completely unprofessional and ruining the show.
He isn't even reading the news.
Uh-oh. How do all the campers feel about it?
They love it!
Are you serious?
That's great!
And since it was my idea, they must love me by extension.
You know, this is really going to make up for us not having a fridge.
Lou, come on! You have to kick him off the broadcast.
Destiny, I am covered in months' old food.
I have a kitchen full of sweaty cheese.
I... Need a win.
Sorry you're having a tough time, but,
you're a performer.
If anybody can find their way back in the spotlight, it's you.
Now, I would love to continue this conversation,
but, um, I have to go cleaned the broccoli out of my ears with my nubbins.
Well, my group has completed ten items on the sched,
including multiple emotional checks to ensure we're being our best selves.
My group isn't about accomplishing anything.
It's about learning at your own pace.
Mm. And Aidan has apparently
learned how to gather up everyone shoes,
put them in a pile and fall asleep on them.
Well, lizard weddings really take it out of you.
The point is, they're all having fun.
And that's why Nadine ditched you to come to me.
Right, Nadine?
Nadine?
She was just sitting here, making this comic book where she's the superhero.
And let me guess, I'm her arch nemesis, the fun crusher.
Whatever. I love nicknames.
I'll take it.
Oh, no, you're not the villain.
Big Stinky is.
This isn't just a comic book.
These are plans,
and it looks likeshe went to Moot Point to find Big Stinky.
We've got to stop her.
Hey, do you work here?
Doesn't matter. We need you to watch these kids,
especially the one on the shoes.
Big Stinky,
your days of terrorizing the camp are over!
For I am The Machine! Cha-cha!
And I will not rest until you are caught,
or get distracted by something else.
I'm only eight.
Whoosh!
I'm stuck!
Uh-oh!
Hey! Listen, Big Stinky!
Those threats from earlier, that was just business.
Help!
Nadine!
Big Stinky.
We need a plan.
You go free Nadine while I distract the skunk.
Good idea.
Try not to get sprayed.
The thought had occurred to me.
Hey! Big Stinky! Come get me, you...
You... How do you insult a skunk?
I don't know!
Tell him he smells good.
Yes!
Hey, Big Stinky!
Your behind smells like a bouquet of fine red roses.
Like tulips in the spring, like... Something else that smells good.
[WHISPERING] It's working.
Of course it is. I'm a charmer.
But, maybe it's working a little too well.
Oh, no! Tell my mommy I love her!
[SCREAMING] No!
[GRUNTS, GROANS]
Ava!
You saved me.
Are you okay?
I'm so cold.
Well, that's understandable.
You're wearing shorts and it's a brisk day.
I'm so sorry, Ava.
Don't be.
If I had just been supervising you like Noah had said,
none of this would have happened,
and I wouldn't smell like an egg burp and a dirty diaper.
It's not all on you.
I'm the one whodrove Nadine away in the first place.
He did.
We should have just been working together this whole time,
like we did to save Nadine instead of being nemesises.
Nemesi? You get my point.
Here.
I won't be needing this anymore.
I'm not a real superhero.
A real superhero wouldn't have been taken down by a lousy bush.
I guess I'm just an ordinary kid.
Ordinary?
You've got one of the best imaginations of any kid I've ever met,
and I don't know much about superheroes,
but I know they don't quit when things get tough, right?
Yeah.
You're only eight.
You have a ton of time to become a superhero
and find your arch neme-sauce.
Arch-who?
Your main bad guy.
You're going to need this when you do.
If you're looking for a good villain,
may I suggest Miss Harris,my ninth grade drama teacher.
What? Noah Lambertis no one's Waiter number three.
Thanks, guys.
Group hug?
No way.
You smell like a bag of chicken butts.
Chicken butts?
What, you don't listen to the news?
[BLOWS RASPBERRY] Pop-pop-pop!
Okay, let's start the show.
Aren't we going to wait for Finn?
He said start without him. He's burping
Take Me Out to the Ballgameat a softball championship.
That tracks.
Two, one!
Welcome to another installment of Talking About Waka. Today's top headlines,
who is stealing all our shoes?
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
[BANGING ON DOOR]
FINN: Hey, why is this door locked?
Let me in.
Sit down!
I know where your favorite bowtie lives.
Yes, ma'am!
Open up! My fans need me.
Also, mysterious paper airplanes have appeared in the lake.
The work of litterers? Or have squirrels mastered air travel?
That's it. If you won't open the door, I'm busting it down.
Destiny, this isn't right.
I'm going to let him in before he does something ridiculous.
Finn torpedo! [GRUNTS]
Too late.
How dare you?
How dare you!
I can't believe you guys are doing this show without me.
Matteo had nothing to do with it.
I locked you out because you're a buffoon.
Don't try to win me over with flattery.
It's my show now, name burper!
Quit distracting me with compliments!
I'm gonna take the mic.
No, you're not.
Oh, I just did!
FINN: [THROUGH SPEAKERS] I've spent all day turning my armpits.
DESTINY: And I spent all day researching stories like a serious journalist.
Not some goofball fartist.
FINN: May I tell people to start calling me that?
DESTINY: You're ruining my show!
FINN: It's our show!DESTINY: Give it to me.
No! Let go!I've got the mic!
I don't care!What the heck is going on in here?
Compelling radio, that's what.
Care to continue this conversation off air?
Matteo, you are broadcasting our fight?
Uh, we'll be right back after a short break.
You two better explain yourselves.
I was just following your advice.
You said to find a way to get back into the spotlight.
Yeah, but not by pushing Finn out of it.
I thought this would be something fun
that you twocould do together, but clearly, I was wrong.
Look, I had to lock him out.
I wanted to do a serious camp news show,
and you kept stealing focus.
What was I supposed to do?
I was afraid, okay?
Afraid of what?
I don't know, maybe that you're so smart
and I was afraid I was gonna look super dumb next to you.
Really?Yeah.
So I decided to be funny.
I'm sorry.
What you were trying to do for the camp is important,
and I should have helped you with it.
Well, that may be,but I think I was also a little jealous
that people liked your part of the show better.
The truth is, you are really funny.
And I guess thereis room for more lighthearted moments.
Fine.
Light farted.
This might be the beginning of a beautiful fartnership.
Yeah, I'm starting to regretbuying this equipment instead of a refrigerator.
Lou, by the way, I am loving the new look.
You hit one of the gas lines digging the new septic tank, didn't you?
No.
I hit two of them.
And, go!
Welcome to another installment of Talking About Waka.
Today's stop story, air pollution in camp is down 25 percent.
In related news, I finally washed my pile of dirty clothes.
Finn, aren't you forgetting something?
Uh-oh! Am I not wearing pants?
No, our theme song!
[PLAYING JAUNTY TUNE]
[TUNE CONTINUES ON SPEAKERS]
Those two are super weird.
Yet, oddly compelling.
Two totally different styles.
But theymake it work...BOTH: ...just like us.
BOTH: Jinx!
We're so in sync!
Sched?Never.
Okey-doke.
