I can't believe you finally get a Saturday off...
and we're spending our night looking at flowers.
The Philadelphia Flower Show is an institution, Mark.
People dress up for this.
Uh. Excuse me? This is a $300-dollar
Mitchell and Ness, okay. This is Eagles Couture.
I mean, come on, hun. How cool is this?
Yeah, it's alright.
So, I'm thinking, Hamilton Horticourt,
Guardians of the Garden, oh, and we gotta make
sure we leave time at the end for the Frond Farewell.
Okay, fine. Let's just make it quick though, okay.
I wanna hit up a couple bars in
Old City and get cheesesteaks at Jimangelo's.
No, Mark. We need to get back at a reasonable time.
Darren's home alone.
Uh. He's 14, Tam. Okay, in the middle ages
he'd already have like nine kids by now. He's fine.
[doorbell]
Who's down to get irresponsible!

God these are like the smallest wings ever,
what are they like from a pigeon?
It's the Flower Show hon, not Hooters.
Yeah. That's for sure.
Stunning. Oh, how beautiful is that?
Ohh, that's amazing.
See? I told you it was cool.
Yo Tam, they turned McGannihans into a throwing axe bar.
Check this out.
Ugh, Mark. Can we just enjoy this together?
Sure, hon. My bad.
I mean, who wants to throw axes when you can
walk around looking at frickin' plants.
They're not just plants. They're works of art.
Ooh, Mark, Look! Flower Gritty!
Uh, okay, not gonna lie, that is...
that does excite me.
Oh. And look over there. They got the plants from Mario.
No frickin' way! Now we're talkin'.
So these things eat meat, right?
Yes. Mostly small insects.
They release enzymes that dissolve--
You ever feed these things chicken wings?
No, sir. They would die.
Ah. Interesting.
Can I just uh, try? For science?
-Ah! Are you kidding me?!
What the hell, man? These are like 25 bucks.
Bruh, you're wild for this.
Yeah, boy!
Um... we're not gonna get caught though, right?
Relax. This is an old-school, tried and true prank.
Guaranteed laughs, zero consequences.
You've done this before?
Pfft! C'mon man. I've been doing this since the 18th century.
Still hilarious every time.
Alright. Let's do it.
My dude.
Wait... where's pig number 2?
Exactly.
Our patented sticky soil allows you to grow
plants sideways or even upside-down.
- Wow. - Very cool.
Next up, a cutting-edge technology that
will radically transform the plant space.
Instant bonsai.
-Oh wow! -That's unbelievable!
Now, we all love a garden in the sunshine...
but what if I told you, it could be even more stunning...
at night?
Genetically modified flowers for bioluminescence.
Oh my God, dude. That's sick. It's like a blacklight poster.
Yeah, looks like you're having fun at the
lame old flower show after all, huh?
Yo Tam, let's get out of here.
Guardians of the Garden starts in 10 minutes.
Don't want to miss it. -Wow...hahaha.
In addition to pollinators, there are many other
insects who help protect our fruits and vegetables.
Ugh. Why hasn't Darren texted back?
This is Grace.
Who here knows what kind of insect she is?
It's a Praying Mantis! It's a praying mantis.
Uh... correct.
Boom. Yeah, I watched a lot of bug fights on YouTube, so--
-What's up, plant people, who's ready to germinate...
...On the dance floor!
Yo Tam. We gotta check that out.
I dunno, Mark. It's getting late.
We should probably head back.
Aw c'mon. You dragged me to the flower show,
and now you wanna leave before the big party?
I just don't wanna be irresponsible.
C'mon Tam, you've been a mom since we met.
We never got to do any adventures together.
It's not like we're sneaking off to Vegas.
It's an 8 pm after-party at the frickin' Flower Show.
Oh thank God. Darren says he's
"watching a movie and going to bed early."
See? Kid's 14 going on 60. It's all good.
Orchid VIP passes?
Oh well. Guess we tried.
Whoa whoa whoa.
You think a little velvet rope is gonna stop Mark Hoagies
from having a crazy night with his wife?
No way, José. I am getting us in.
How you doin' bud.
You look like a man familiar with the martial arts.
Guilty as charged.
Alright, so lemme ask you okay:
Which insect would win in a death match?
Tarantula or praying mantis?
Oh man, that's tough.
Okay, so... it's a praying mantis,
which means it's got God on it's side,
and God doesn't make mistakes.
But, it's hard to bet against the giant spider.
So, I'm gonna go with... tarantula.
Ehhh! Mantis. -What? No way.
Dude, they're like the frickin' Jon Jones of bugs, yo.
Check it out.
Oh man... Ohoho!
What's up, Slurp Heads?!
Welcome to Smooth Talkers, the pod where we review
blended bevs and chop it up about whatevs.
Today, we're live at the Jinglepad!
That's right. And we'll be reviewing the
PB Mango Monster from Ramba Juice.
Shall we? Let's... Slurp. It. Up.
[Slurping] Mmm.
Argh!
Ooh! Careful! Ah-- If we make a mess,
Andrea will never let me podcast here again.
Sorry. I got startled by the pigs.
Pigs? The hell?!
Aaahh! Where's pig number two?!
Brooo. This prank is goated.
See the Mantis is a striker, so the tarantula,
all it needs to do is just sorta like shoot in,
get him on the ground, right,
and then just like, Bam Bam,
just ground-and-pound him until he submits.
Hello? What's the holdup?
Oh, sorry.
You're good.
Ugh! Where's the second pig?! What are you doing?
I thought you're going to help me get rid of them.
It makes weird sounds when I get close.
Aaghhhh. We have to find this pig!
Holy crap, dude. This is unbelievable!
Yeah, for sure...
so like, maybe we wrap this up and go play Farm Crossing?
What? Dude, things are just heating up.
Yeah, I know-- Yeah, it's just...
Y'know, David's been tweaking for like an hour.
It's out of our hands now, my guy.
Yeah... Heheh...
Wai- Dude. Where are you going?!
♪ [dance]
Would the lady like another Gin and Tulip?
[giggles] Thanks, hun.
This is so fun.
Right? Yeah, it's pretty good.
Hey big boy.
Aw don't look at me like that, Tam.
[giggles] Mark!
Whoa!
Watch it yo!
Tam? Whoa!
C'mere you big begonia!
- Uh... Mark? - Huh?
Is it me or did this room get bigger?
Oh my God. We shrunk!
Oho man. This is classic.
This is not classic. It's a disaster.
How do we undo this?
Alright just calm down. It's all good.
All we gotta do is hit that switch up there
when we're ready to unshrink.
Wait, what do you mean "ready to unshrink?"
Hun, can we just take a second and
acknowledge the crazy adventure we're having together?
I mean this is a night out!
I let myself go for one night...
Oh c'mon, Tam.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be tiny!
I've dreamed about this my whole life.
Well, if we don't find a way to that switch,
it'll be more than dreams getting crushed.
[doorbell]
Tom Jonesly. Animal Control Special Task Force.
You got a pig problem?
Oh thank God.
Wait. Why is this a "special task?"
New strain of the swine flu.
All porcine calls go through STF now.
Swine flu?
Smart move calling Animal Control.
I thought you called Animal Control.
Wait. You called Animal Control?
Yeah, sorry look, I-- I just-- I kinda felt bad and--
Duuude. Epic move! It's about to go downnnn!
Grab as much as you can.
We need enough to climb to the switch.
Gotta say uh, gathering dirt... Not on my tiny bucket list--
Holy macaroni.
It's beautiful.
Oh yeah, you gotta get in on this.
Whoa! Yo. Uh...
Hey bud, uh. You want some cream? Yeah?
Mmm. There we go. Yum...
You wanna be my insect friend?
Aaahhhhh! Oh! Oh My God!!! Ow God!
Mark! Oh my God! Hey. Get off of him!
Ow! Get off! Argh! Get off!
Thats my husband!
Whoa so yeah, that is uh "Not" like what happens in the movie.
Uhh...
- Oh God! - Ahhh!!
Whoa! What the-?
Hear you got an ant problem.
Woah. Hohoho oh man.
Uh... thanks... uh...
- Kaia. - How did you--?
Ah-- No time for small talk.
Dead ants release alarm pheromones.
We gotta move before the whole colony shows up.
Uh, whole colony? Yeah. Hope. Uh, time to go.
- You doing a podcast? - Yes.
Nice. Yeah me and my buddy do one where we watch 80's
movies and talk about the boobies.
Oh wow, that's a... uh yeah, that's a topic.
- No sign of pig two.
Okay, so I guess maybe there wasn't a pig number 2 after all.
Let me tell you something, pal. I've been doing this for over
30 years and if there's one thing I've learned--
there is "Always" a pig number two.
Phillips, get me the CDC and the FBI.
Hendricks, coffee run. It's gonna be a long night.
Nice place you got here.
Thanks. Found it after Sneaker-Con.
Oh wow. It's so cute.
I love how you turned all the little things into,
like... big things.
Yo I gotta say man, those ants are no joke, phew.
Pfft. Those are nothing.
Spiders, on the other hand, watch out.
Oh... Spiders. Um, okay.
Uh yo actually can I get one of those blades over there?
Oh wow what is this like uh, shark tooth or something?
- Toenail clipping. - Ugh.
Gotta be resourceful when you're the size of
a chess piece, right? Edamame?
Oh, thank you.
Uh, I'm gonna pass. Uh, having some uh... stomach issues.
Maybe it was the handfuls of cream filling you ate.
Ooh yeah. That's a no-no.
Processed sugars: Impossible to digest at this size.
Gotta be real careful about what you put in your body out here.
Ugh come on. That's like the best part of being small.
Man when you're this small,
literally everything can kill you.
One wrong move, and your rat food.
Just the other day I almost died when somebody dropped a mint.
Every day is a new adventure.
Oh yeah. Sounds great.
So, how'd you end up small?
Well same as you, I'm guessing.
I snuck into the instant
bonzai tree thingy at last year's show.
And you don't want to get big again?
Heh. What's the rush? I'm 25, I've got no attachments,
I'm just enjoying what life throws my way.
We only get one ride on this merry-go-round, right?
Huh, yeah...
Sometimes I feel like I never even got on the merry-go-round.
How about you? What's your story?
Oh, you don't wanna hear it.
I'm just... an old, boring mom.
Are you kidding? First of all, you're gorgeous.
Second, I can tell you have an adventurous spirit.
Really?
Alright well appreciate you saving our lives, but yeah,
Tam, we should probably get going.
Oh, come on guys, you "Just" got shrunk.
Let's do something wild.
Actually, yeah we're good. Heh, pfft.
Well hold on Mark, we're shrunk,
might as well try something fun.
So, what do you have in mind?
It's called "Nutting." You just hop on your shell,
and go with the flow.
Oooo. That sounds fun.
Alright, I know you don't like
when I say stuff like this, but this woman is crazy, okay.
She's a crazy person.
Oh please. You've been telling me to loosen up all night.
Well, here I go.
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo! Whoa!
Ah! God!
Oh God! Oof!
I can't breathe.
Agh! Damnit.
Oh, this is funny to you? Coulda frickin' died.
Oh relax, hun. Live a little.
Oh, I have to admit, this is beautiful.
You really do see things differently down here.
Right? The world isn't smaller, it's bigger, man.
It puts everything in perspective and
makes you live in the moment.
I never live in the moment.
I'm always too busy worrying about the next one.
Well, before you know it, the moments run out.
Ugh. So true. I've spent the last 14 years so
worried about my kid, I forgot to do anything for myself.
Feels good to just let loose.
What hell's wrong with you? She put frickin' Ayahuasca
in these soybeans, okay? You got a son at home right now.
Parents deserve to have a little fun too, Mark.
How is this "Fun?" Okay, we're at the
bottom of a frickin' food chain here.
I almost got my head ripped off by a frickin' ant.
Hey! You guys wanna ride a butterfly?
I mean, when in Tiny Rome... Mark?
I think I've had enough shrunken antics for one day.
I'm gonna head back and grab more of that sticky dirt.
You coming?
Yeah. I'll catch up to you later.
You know what? Okay then. Have fun riding butterflies.
I'm gonna go get back to your son,
probably jumpin' off the roof and
taking shots of hand sanitizer. Ah whoa!
Whoops. No big deal.
I thought it was a spider. All good.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. This is an all-timer.
Might be better than Roanoke.
Roanoke?
The colony? 1600s. Legendary pig prank, man.
Everyone went crazy and killed each other.
Bro... I- if we get caught, my mom is never gonna
let me be home alone again.
Relax. As long as we keep our mouths shut, it's all good.
[knock, knock] Dude!
Just be cool.
Oh hey, Dar. Uh, Mark around?
He's out with my mom.
Oh, uh, what's with all the cops?
Did, uh, Mark try to do his own taxes again or something?
Uh... Hey Uncle Hank, can... can I tell you something?
It's kind of a secret though.
Uh, okay.
So all these cops and stuff.
It was us.
We pranked David, and it kinda escalated and
I'm not sure what to do.
Why don't you just uh, tell him it was a prank?
Do. Not.
Number one rule of pranks: Never confess.
I just... I-- Ah, feel kinda bad, JD.
Well, are you gonna feel bad for me
when I'm grounded for a hundred years?
You can't play Farm Crossing in Gitmo, Dar.
Stupid Flower Show.
[vibration] Whoa. What the hell?
[vibration] No frickin' way.
Oh, boy.
[grunting]
Come on, come on, come on, come... Dah.
Dammit.
Argh!
Hell yeah!
Hey Mark. Um, I, uh, got a little situation here and uh...
kinda need your help.
Unreal, right?
Oh, yeah! Woo!
Hey Mark. Um, I, uh, got a little situation here and uh...
Darren?
You good, T?
Oh my God! I gotta get back!
How do we land this thing!?
We don't!
You just let go... and trust the butterfly to
take us wherever the wind carries it.
Uh-uh. That doesn't work for me right now.
Hey! Butterfly! Down, girl, down!
Whoa, careful, Tammy. They startle easily.
Oohh! Whoa!
Oh my God!
You got any pro tips for escaping a Venus flytrap?
Nope. This is a first.
I think we just gotta go with the flow, you know.
Well right now, the flow is about to dissolve us in acid,
and I've got a little boy at home who needs me!
What? Isn't he, like... 12?
He's 14. And it doesn't matter how old you are--
everyone needs their mom sometimes.
Not me. My mom's in jail for Medicare fraud.
Okay, well, most people.
Help! Somebody help!
Mark!
Tam! Tam! Yo, Darren's got himself in a situation, alright.
We gotta get out of here, okay. We gotta get big again!
Where are you?
Help! Where are you? Anybody help us!
Tam!
Mark? Oh my God! Help! We're in here!
Get the hell outta here, you're in the frickin'
meat eating plant? - Hurry, Mark!
I think it's starting to digest us, ugh!
Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming, alright?
Ah... Come on... Come on. Okay crap uh...
Uh...
Hell yeah!
Mmm, who wants a yummy wing with the meat on it?
[sniff, sniff]
Heard you guys need a wing man.
Sure you don't want to stick around,
go petal parachuting?
No, I've gotta get back.
As fun as this was, being a mom comes first.
You wanna come with us?
Nah. I'm all about that shrunklife.
Okay. Well, take care, Kaia.
You too, Tammy. You too.
[splat] Oh God!/Oh! Damn!
Uh... E-Excuse me, sir?
Don't worry, son. Nothing to be concerned about.
I know. There's no pig number 2.
I beg your pardon?
I-It was just a stupid prank.
I didn't realize it would cause all... this.
We just thought it'd be funny to mess with my neighbor.
What do you mean... we?
I mean... me.
It was just me.
Can you just call my mom and let her know I'm in Gitmo?
You got guts, kid.
Come in here and fessin' up--
I'll give you that.
But you don't strike me as the pranking type.
You tell me who puts you up to this
and we'll keep this between us.
Sir, we just got the pigs' swine flu results...
[knock, knock, knock]
Oh u-uh... hey... officer? To what do I owe the honor?
You handle any hogs tonight?
Me? Hogs? Pfft!
No way man. I- I'm actually kosher...
Uh yeah... Shabbat Shalom!
Wait, you're Jewish?
Uh, yes I am, Hhhank.
Well your pal here just tested positive for swine flu.
Hey, J.D.
Dar?! Y- you're gonna be okay... right?
I hope so.
Meh, this particular strain only has a 30% survival rate.
Oh God! Oh I'm so sorry, Dar.
This is all my fault. Don't die on me.
It was just supposed to be a stupid prank!
Heh. Gotcha.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Not cool, dude! Not freakin' cool.
Alright, boys. Hope you learned your lesson.
Yes sir.
Do this again, and I'll put you both down.
Just like those two pigs.
Ha! Good one.
That should do it.
C'mon, we got 10 seconds, lets go.
Uh-oh.
Hoo! Hell yeah, dude! Grace, for the win!
Let's go!
Hell yeah, dude. Back to 5-10.
You're 5-7, honey.
Tam, I'm 5-8 at least, okay
Uh...
Go! Go go go go.
Whoa there.
Whoa.
Oo ho ho ho. It's on.
Pray to this, bitch!
Darren! You okay?
Yeah, I just couldn't get the internet to work,
but I- I figured it out.
Oh... Ohoho, come here, you.
Oh... He's fine.
Hey uh, listen...
I'm sorry for making you stay out later than you wanted.
Ah, it's not your fault. I needed the push.
Honestly, this turned out to be a pretty frickin' awesome night.
Yeah it was uh... it was something else.
Maybe next time, though, we do something less crazy...
like bar-hopping and 3 AM cheesesteaks.
Now we're talking...
What the hell?
Darren! Get your ass down here right now!
What?
Where the hell is pig 1?
And there better not be a pig 3!
