I knew all our old pajamas would still fit.
- [fabric rips] - [laughs]
You look more ridiculous than you did five seconds ago.
[laughing]
All right, now we're in the perfect mindset
for list item #7:
see a live taping of the greatest,
most beloved-est, most entertaining-est duo
in regional TV history.
[gasps] You don't mean...
Hi there, friend. Come on in.
It's time for...
The Puffles!
- Whoo-hoo! - [fabric ripping]
- Here we go! - Whoa!
[both laughing]
We're seeing the Puffles?
Don't mess with me, Hailey.
Would I joke about two people in inflatable pants?
♪ You're my pal, my bud My buckaroo ♪
♪ We're inseparable Like glue on glue ♪
♪ One thing will always Be true ♪
♪ We're best friends Besties, BFFs ♪
♪ That's never, ever Ever gonna change ♪
♪ 'Cause best friends Besties don't forget ♪
♪ That you and me Will always be best friends ♪
Remember when we used to pretend we were the Puffles,
because they were best friends just like us?
So, how do we get in that audience?
[Bill Board] Wondering how to get in the live TV audience
- for The Puffles? - Uh, yes.
Then call the number below.
Hailey, before you do that,
there's something about the Puffles you should...
[phone line rings]
[Bill Board] Howdy, if you're looking to see The Puffles,
- you called the right number. - Yeah!
Unfortunately, you've called it at the wrong time
because the Puffles no longer do shows.
Have a great day. Yeehaw!
- Oh, no! - Why have the message at all?
A simple internet search would've told you
that The Puffles were canceled five years ago.
But I-- I won't accept it.
We're gonna go to that station
and insist that they un-cancel The Puffles.
Yeah, and they better be ready,
because we're gonna play hardball.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!
How could you cancel a regional institution like The Puffles?
You've deflated us all, man!
Now, I may have won this here TV station
in a baby shower raffle,
but I love The Puffles and theater.
I did so much theater in school, they called me Play Bill.
Then you can understand why it's important to us that the Puffles
get back together, right?
Well, heck, if you want to do a Puffles reunion show,
you came to the right place.
- All right. - Woo-hoo!
Unfortunately, you came to the wrong person.
Why do you keep doing that, man?
I never canceled The Puffles.
Kiley and Thatcher quit on their own.
But, if you get them back on board,
we can film the reunion show right here.
It'd sure help with the massive debt I incurred
from them quitting.
Seriously, I have a crippling interest rate. Yeehaw!
Then, it's a plan.
Scott, you find Thatcher. I'll find Kiley.
I bet she's doing big things.

[indistinct chatter]
[Hailey] Um, excuse me?
We can only do six complimentary baskets of garlic knots.
- No more. - Oh no, I--
Wait, that's so many garlic knots.
Who eats that many?
Wait, you're Kiley of the Puffles, right?
I used to be. A long time ago.
Get out of my gondola, Ganesh. You've already had six baskets.

Um, excuse me? Mr. Thatcher, Sir?
Hey, man. You a fan of the band?
Oh, uh... no.
I'm actually a fan of your earlier work with the Puffles.
Why would two best friends stop performing together?
Kiley and I just...
Well, honestly, it fell apart when Kiley realized...
I liked Thatcher.
Like, really liked him.
So, I told him, and we kissed.
Terrible decision. I do not recommend it.
Yeah, it was super awkward.
Ugh. I was so embarrassed,
I wanted to crawl into a cave and die.
So, I wrote a song about it called,
"I Want to Crawl into a Cave and Die".
- Want to hear it? - Uh, no.
Anyway, it just got so awkward, we split up.
Haven't spoken since.
But how? You, Thatcher, and--
Look, kid, my break only lasts as long as it takes Rocco
to notice I'm taking a break, so...
What if we could mend your friendship?
...with a Puffles reunion show?
- No way. Too awkward. - No way. Too awkward.
But, Kiley, I have to ask...
Sorry, kid.
That was your sixth basket.
There's no way we're getting these two
- to do a Puffles reunion show. - [Hailey laughing]
Okay. Bye, Thatcher.
See you at the Puffles reunion show.
[squeals] Oh, my gosh, it's happening.
Scott, do you work at being wrong,
or does it come naturally?
How'd you get them onboard?
Figuratively. I used thumb tacks to get them on this board.
It was easy. I just, well, lied.
Nice! Wait, we can do that?
I simply told Thatcher and Kiley
that the other wouldn't be at the show,
and they jumped right onboard.
Problem solved.
[grunting]
What the-- That was my soda.
Hailey, what happens when they both show up
thinking the other won't, and they're both there?
You don't get it. Best friends
are supposed to stay friends forever.
I mean, if I ever kissed my best friend,
hypothetically, of course,
and it got weird, but then I saw him later,
I'd be like, "Oh, I missed you so much, Scott--
I mean, Thatch--
I mean, hypothetical best friend."
[laughs nervously]
- [singing in keys] - Okay, Thatcher's coming.
Oh, boy, get ready to see some best-friend chemistry kick in.
- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here?
This best-friend chemistry is awesome.
Hailey, you lied to us?
This is so embarrassing.
And I'm forced to wear a beehive wig
on Throwback Thursdays at the restaurant,
so that's saying something.
Yeah, this is not hardcore.
Not hardcore at all.
But, but...
Now, hold your horses.
Heard the whole thing outside.
And I'm here to say I fully support you, Puffles...
- Wait for it. - and by that,
I mean I support you and this whole operation financially.
I cannot disappoint our wonderful sponsors
at the "Doctors without Diplomas" organization.
So, you two will perform, but separately.
And it'll still be a Puffles reunion show,
and I won't get sued, yeehaw.
- Ugh, fine. - Yeah, whatever.
- [screams] - Hails, it's okay.
You'll still be able to cross off your list item.
Who cares? I wanted them to sing together.
Uh, I care, because then the world doesn't end.
But why is it so important that they sing together?
Because what if that happens to us, Scott?
What if something happens and we stop being best friends?
What if we stop talking
and I wear a beehive wig on Thursdays
and you're not in my life anymore?
Hailey, look at me.
I will never, ever miss seeing you in a beehive wig.
[laughs]
Look, Thatcher and Kiley aren't us.
Their friendship doesn't decide what happens to ours.
Only we get to do that.
And I decided a long, long time ago
that I will always be your best friend.
No matter what.
Uh, this is the part where you say--
I'll always be your best friend too, Scott.
Okay, good. You can never be too sure.
And, hey, if seeing the Puffles means that much to you,
I know something we can do.

I can't believe you guys were so inspired by us
that you joined us onstage.
Uh, that's not why we went out there.
We couldn't stand by while you two butchered our theme song.
Kiley, Kiley, who am I?
Whoa!
These baby giraffes.
[both laugh]
Okay, jeez, we weren't that bad.
Hey, Kiley? It's, uh, been good to see you.
Hmm. You too, Thatch.
Well, that was cool.
Are you guys a duo again? Are the Puffles back?
Nah, we've got our own things now.
Nothing wrong with going solo.
That's okay.
Even if you don't get back together,
I know Scott and I will be just fine.
We decided it.
I'll admit, Thatcher,
I'm still a little sad you lost your best friend.
Who, Kiley? She was never my best friend.
- Wait, what? - Sure, we're buds,
but my best friend
was the girl I grew up next door to, Bailey.
Hey, there she is now.
[gasps]
Hey!
Bailey and I just got married.
I'm so lucky she had the courage to tell me she liked me,
otherwise I never would've known.
Not as lucky as I am to have a partner
who puts up with birdhouse projects all over our backyard.
[both laugh]
But wait, you, Bailey, birdhouses?
Hey, Thatch, let's raid the snack table.
It's on this list of things I've always wanted to do.
[Scott] Man, it's pretty sweet up here.
Oh, no, nail, nail, nail!
