1
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:08,599
Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,199
I'm Martin and you are listening to Dad's bedtime Stories.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Tonight we're headed back into the Spaceship universe. And you

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,199
know what, everyone, I get a lot of ideas for

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,920
this podcast, and I love them. I love getting every

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,199
single one and I listen to every single one. But

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,399
I can't make every single one, and I'm really sorry

8
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:36,000
about that. It doesn't mean I don't want you to

9
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:40,320
send them in. But tonight I thought I would get

10
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:42,560
as many of them as I could and put them

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,479
all in one episode. First of all, I found this

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,159
idea that I thought we could use as sort of

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,520
the main thing to go around here.

14
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: Let's check it out.

15
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Hi.

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: I'm Harvey from Ontario, Canada. I have an idea for

17
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:07,120
the Spaceship series where you land on a planet where

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,920
there's a bunch of different types of pictures. Each picture

19
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:19,640
is unique and has a different function. Some pictures are moving,

20
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:25,239
some pictures create moments in the past, some even in

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,920
the future.

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,359
Speaker 4: Bye.

23
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 5: I love your.

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,719
Speaker 2: Podcast, Harvey. That is a great idea.

25
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: And when I was going through it and thinking what

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,280
pictures will we go into and visit, I decided to

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,920
go back through my voicemail and find some other ideas

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,000
that I hadn't done yet, and kind of go into

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,200
those pictures. So let's check a few of those out

30
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:46,680
as well.

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,239
Speaker 6: My Hi, my name is Rowan, and I mean four

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,760
and a dog and frog and they made a cause

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,439
on a candy planet, and a candy meal destroyed the house,

34
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:09,599
and then they have get out.

35
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:10,719
Speaker 4: Bye.

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: Love your podcast, Thanks, Ronan. I love your suggestion.

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't actually know what you said, destroyed the house

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,879
like a candy meal. You're gonna have to let me know,

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,319
but I'm gonna make it a candy meal that destroys

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,800
the house in this one. Let's check out our next idea.

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,759
Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Allan.

42
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,599
Speaker 6: I am nine years old, and I would like to

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,680
suggest a chess planet.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: Thanks.

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 7: I love your broadcast.

46
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,439
Speaker 2: Goodbye, great idea, Allan.

47
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:42,599
Speaker 1: I am going to change it to h Chess picture

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,960
on a picture planet, but I love the suggestion and

49
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,280
I think we could fit in like one last one here,

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,479
let's check it out.

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,319
Speaker 5: Hi. Mine is Elliott, and I want to make a

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,080
suggestion for your platypus plan. It you see this big, big,

53
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:04,840
humongous platypus that's metal so you're going to ask a

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,879
platypus as a suit what's going on, But before you

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,000
can ask him anything, he goes on side of a billion,

56
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:14,879
so you follow him because you have no idea what's

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,319
going on.

58
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 7: By love your.

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Podcast, and once again I love your suggestion. These are

60
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,400
all really amazing ideas here. I'm going to try to

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,560
fit them all in on the Picture Planet. But before

62
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,840
we get started, I do have a couple big thank

63
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:36,240
yous to give. First up, thank you to Tobin Parker

64
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,879
and Chris for supporting the podcast. That means a lot, guys.

65
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,400
I really appreciate you going on Patreon and doing that.

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:51,639
And second, thank you too, Julie Scott and Kurt from California.

67
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:54,439
I really appreciate you guys supporting the podcast too.

68
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,159
Speaker 2: It really goes a long way.

69
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: And if you haven't heard, I did start another podcas

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Cast called Dad's Anytime Stories kind of story podcast you

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240
can listen to in the car or at kind of

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
any other time of the day, so if you're interested

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,039
in checking that out. Our first season is Cards of Power,

74
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:17,199
Volume one, based on my novel. It's basically the audiobook

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,879
version of the novel, which you can buy on Amazon.

76
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,040
But now it's that time again. Time to get as

77
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,480
comfy as you can in that bed, close your eyes

78
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,160
and imagine yourself doing what the kid in the story does.

79
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:42,319
Imagine yourself waking up a board spaceship. You swing your

80
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:46,319
legs over the side of the bed, stand up, and

81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,319
stretch your arms up in the air. You head out

82
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:52,680
on to the main part of the ship and say,

83
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,879
good morning the spaceship. Eh, good morning, spaceship, Good morning,

84
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:05,160
spaceship lives. I believe I have found something extremely interesting.

85
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,759
A new planet that is full of pictures. I mean,

86
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,639
I guess that's cool. A picture planet. Is there something

87
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:17,519
weird about it?

88
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:17,639
Speaker 5: Like?

89
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: Are the pictures living with arms and legs or running

90
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:28,160
a picture society or something like that. You ask, no, However,

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,800
I am detecting spatial anomalies around each picture. It seems

92
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:39,920
that each one is a sort of portal. I knew

93
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:44,199
there was a twist to this. You say, set a course, spaceship,

94
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:49,839
let's go to the picture planet. And so spaceship sets

95
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:55,319
a course, veering slightly downe and to the left. In

96
00:05:55,399 --> 00:06:00,000
a flash, you stop high above a beautiful earth life

97
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,680
like planet, and you begin to navigate down towards the surface.

98
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:09,920
You sit down in the command chair and grab a

99
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,079
hold of the main joystick. You press forward on the

100
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,560
throttle and forward on the joystick, causing the ship to

101
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:24,600
push downwards through the atmosphere, through the clouds, before pulling

102
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:32,600
it up slightly and flying over well forests and mountains

103
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:39,879
and prairies, all full of pictures. You catch the odd

104
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,519
person here and there painting new pictures. But more than anything,

105
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,920
there's just pictures everywhere. Some of them are floating in

106
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,680
the air, some of them are placed on the ground,

107
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,319
some of them are drawn right into mountain sides and cliffs.

108
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Pictures than you.

109
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Could possibly count, so many that you actually have a

110
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:09,120
little bit of trouble finding somewhere to land. But you

111
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,079
soon see a clearing right by some guy in a

112
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,680
painting jacket who looks like he's painting away at a

113
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,199
new picture. You carefully land the spaceship on the ground.

114
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:25,560
It makes a little bit of a hissing sound as

115
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:31,519
the hydraulics drop. The back door opens up, and you

116
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:38,920
immediately smell fresh paint. The person, a young man who

117
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600
was doing some of the painting, leaves his work and

118
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,360
walks over to you. Hi there looks like you're from

119
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:56,319
another planet or something. Yeah, I am What is this place,

120
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:02,519
you ask? This is the picture planet. My name's Harvey.

121
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:07,480
I'm one of the painters here. You see, every painter

122
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,079
here takes the artist's imagination and makes it real in

123
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:19,519
the form of a picture. A picture you can step into. Oh,

124
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,800
he can step into the pictures? You respond, well, any

125
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,720
cool ones you can show me? Well, I do have

126
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:36,440
a couple of my own. Follow me. Harvey waves for

127
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,080
you to follow after him and leads you over to

128
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,000
a small series of different pictures. One of them looks

129
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,000
incredibly futuristic, in the other looks like an old timey

130
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,000
village back on Earth. I call this one future, and

131
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:57,480
I call this one past.

132
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: A very creative type.

133
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: You respond, yeah, well, come on, let's step in. Harvey

134
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,039
grabs your arm and pulls you towards the futuristic looking picture.

135
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:17,039
As you approach it, it's as if the frame expands

136
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:23,720
and then continues to expand, wrapping all the way around you.

137
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,960
When you find yourself inside a futuristic world, a world

138
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:40,200
of giant, glowing towers, floating roads, silver bridges, and streaks

139
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,240
of light in the sky. There's flying cars, and robots

140
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,639
floating everywhere, and sitting right in front of you is

141
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,360
a flying car, or at least it looks a lot

142
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:00,480
like a flying car. Want to take a ride, Harvey says, I,

143
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,919
sure do, You respond, jumping into the driver's seat of

144
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,639
the flying car. The controls seem pretty intuitive. There's a

145
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,759
joystick just like in spaceship, and a throttle on the right.

146
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,720
You pull back on the joystick, press forward on the throttle,

147
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:24,120
and before you know it, you zoom straight up into

148
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,039
the sky. You pull quickly to the left to avoid

149
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,559
another vehicle before leveling the car out. When you eventually

150
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:36,960
steady the thing and get the hang of the controls,

151
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,559
you decide to go a little bit faster. You push

152
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,279
forward all the way on the throttle, and the car

153
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,879
blasts forward. You weave between shiny towers, moving left and right,

154
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,679
careful not to run straight into one of them. Next,

155
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:59,919
you dip under a floating train track with a hover

156
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,440
train going over top of it. You zoom over glowing parks.

157
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,879
You pass robots and the Holograms and gigantic sky bus,

158
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,480
and soon you come to a tunnel of light. You

159
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,720
dip inside the tunnel, trying to keep the car directly

160
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:24,440
in the middle. As the tunnel moves up and down,

161
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:29,600
left and right, side to side, it feels like you're

162
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,960
zipping through a portal. Before long, you pop out the

163
00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:39,559
other side, turn left sharply to miss a building, and

164
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,840
find yourself back in the same area you start it in.

165
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,200
You pull back on the joystick and the throttle at

166
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,279
the same time, stopping the car and slowly allowing it

167
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
to hover down to the ground in front of a

168
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,600
large black frame that has the picture of the picture

169
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:11,440
Planet on it. That was good driving, Harvey says, Let's

170
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,320
maybe check out something else. Once again. You step into

171
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,080
the picture frame, this time the one of the picture Planet.

172
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:26,919
The frame grows around you, stretches behind you until well

173
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:30,600
you find yourself back on the main part of the

174
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:34,039
picture Planet. Well, I want to check out the past

175
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,840
one next. After that flying car ride you gave me,

176
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,679
I kind of need a bit of a slower pace.

177
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:43,039
Speaker 2: Harvey leads you.

178
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Into the small old fashioned painting, and again the painting

179
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:55,759
grows around you until you find yourself inside it. You're

180
00:12:55,799 --> 00:13:01,120
in a small, old fashioned town with narrow streets, little

181
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,360
cottages with tiny windows lanterns ready to light things at night.

182
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:12,200
And cobblestone on the ground. It looks really plain compared

183
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,440
to the futuristic one. This is one of my favorites.

184
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,399
It's the simplicity of it all, Harvey explains, check this out.

185
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,679
Two horses start to trot over towards you. They turn sideways,

186
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,200
inviting you to get on. You put one foot in

187
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,399
the stir up, lift your body over top of the horse,

188
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:42,559
and Harvey gives his a little kick. Moving ahead, you

189
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:49,039
follow behind him. You pass cottages with smoking chimneys, through

190
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,360
a village square with a giant well in the center.

191
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:58,080
You pass by a blacksmiths shop with the clinking sound

192
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,519
of metal as the blacks mith hammers away on it.

193
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:06,360
You pass a baker setting out warm bread on the

194
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,240
side of the window to let a cool You move

195
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,200
along a lane lined with flowers and old stone fences.

196
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,879
The whole thing is very, very peaceful. You watch as

197
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:25,519
a tiny cat runs in front of the horse, as

198
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:29,879
children play with a hoop and a stick, a game

199
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:33,960
you can't imagine would ever entertain anyone, but seems to

200
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,639
be entertaining the children very well. The whole place feels

201
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,080
slow and gentle, as if you don't have a care

202
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:50,799
in the world, much different from the whole futuristic thing. Ah,

203
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,919
that's kind of it, Harvey says, as he climbs off

204
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,919
his horse in front of a picture of the picture

205
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,440
planet once again. Oh, you say, stopping yours and climbing off,

206
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,639
I want to see what else there is to check out?

207
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,879
Speaker 2: He asks.

208
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,279
Speaker 1: Of course I do, Harvey, of course I do. Together,

209
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:18,360
you step back through the picture frame, which once again

210
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:24,279
expands larger and larger wraps around you and transports you

211
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,399
back to the picture planet. Well, there's all kinds of

212
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840
pictures here, I say. You just walk through them and

213
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:37,840
pick one that looks fun. They're all made by different people.

214
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:44,000
You soon come to a picture that looks very strange.

215
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:47,879
A frog and a dog standing note in front of

216
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:53,679
a candy house, set between candy trees and candy bushes,

217
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:57,840
and well, grass that looks like it's made of jelly beans.

218
00:15:59,039 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: This looks cool.

219
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Well, ah, yeah, this one is made by Arnold, he explains.

220
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,559
I want to go check it out, do I? Ever,

221
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,879
you say, you step inside the picture. The frame once

222
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,080
again stretches around you until you find yourself in a

223
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,960
cozy little forest beside a dog and a frog standing

224
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:31,600
in front of a candy house. The house looks like

225
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:36,039
it's made of a mix of candy bricks with gummy

226
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:41,639
candy windows. The roof is made of chocolate tiles. It

227
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:44,600
has frosting around the edges to look like snow, but

228
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:49,679
nothing about it is cold at all. From the bushes

229
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:55,879
hang marshmallows and candy of all different kinds. A little

230
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,240
stepping stone walkway made of giant cookies leads you to

231
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:07,599
the door. Welcome, the frog says, welcome to my house.

232
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:13,519
Me and my friend dog made this house. He explains

233
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,400
what you like to take a bite? Sure you move

234
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,039
over towards the house. You break off a brick of candy,

235
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,200
place it in your mouth, and realize that it is

236
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:37,920
absolutely delicious. Harvey grabs a chunk as well. It's good,

237
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,799
isn't it, The frog says, Eat as much as you like,

238
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,920
but try not to eat too much from one place

239
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:52,319
or it will collapse. Unfortunately, in the time it takes

240
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,000
you to listen to the frog, you've already taken out

241
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,400
several more bricks, leaving a giant hole in the side

242
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,440
of the wall. Harvey pulls another brick out, moves it

243
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:08,920
up to his mouth, and takes a bite when you

244
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:15,920
hear the house begin to creak. Oh, dear not again,

245
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,319
I knew candy was not the thing to make houses from.

246
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: Oh.

247
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: Slowly, the roof above the little end in the wall

248
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:34,200
begins to collapse, bending down towards the floor before breaking

249
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:39,559
and splitting apart. The rest of the house falls piece

250
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,680
by piece. Afterwards, the chocolate roof caves in, followed by

251
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:52,160
the walls, leaving behind a pile of chocolate and candy.

252
00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:01,440
We well have to rebuild. Come back, waiter, perhaps, the frog,

253
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,039
says man. He and the dog walk over to the

254
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,680
candy house and begin putting it together again.

255
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: You, on the other.

256
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Hand, let out a big burp and head back through

257
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:19,839
the picture frame to the picture planet. You continue to

258
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,279
explore all of the different pictures. Some are really odd

259
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:30,599
and others are well just plain boring. Eventually you come

260
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,400
to one that looks like it's a giant chess board,

261
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:41,160
only the chess pieces are doing battle, like literal battle.

262
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,559
Speaker 2: What's up with this one? You ask?

263
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,039
Speaker 1: This one was painted by my friend alan Ah. He

264
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,519
might not be able to tell, but he really likes chess.

265
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:59,480
You step inside the painting, the chess world wraps around you,

266
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,000
until you you find yourself standing on a gigantic chess

267
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:09,559
board surrounded by living chess pieces, living chess pieces in

268
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,640
the middle of a battle. Pawns run at each other

269
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:21,799
carrying spears and shields. Knights run at strange ninety degree

270
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,680
angles left and right until they clash with each other.

271
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:30,519
And on the far side of the board you see

272
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:35,200
a gigantic white king and queen yelling at all of

273
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:40,240
the pieces about what to do them, get them, We

274
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,759
must not let them win. The king from the other

275
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,200
side yells, are you going to help us? Or are

276
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,319
you just going to stand there? One of the pawns

277
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,720
yells towards you. At the same time, two gigantic castle

278
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:03,519
pieces with arms legs run at each other and smash together,

279
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,039
each one trying to push the other out of the way.

280
00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:12,319
You dodge around the ponds, around the knights, moving to

281
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,720
the far side of the board, where the black king

282
00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:21,200
and queen should be. Only something's wrong with the king.

283
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:29,039
The queen lays down beside him, weeping. No, no, you

284
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:32,519
can't go where in the middle of a battle?

285
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: What will we ever do?

286
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: Uh?

287
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:38,319
Speaker 2: You guys? Okay?

288
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:39,559
Speaker 7: You ask?

289
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: Do I look?

290
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:41,799
Speaker 7: Okay?

291
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: The king has he has he has fallen.

292
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,519
Speaker 1: The queen explains, Ah, so you lose the match.

293
00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:00,599
Speaker 2: No, we will not give up this easily. We must

294
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:05,000
find someone else, someone to wear the crown.

295
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's not how chess works.

296
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:11,799
Speaker 2: Will you do it?

297
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,039
Speaker 1: Will you wear the crown, she says, lifting the crown

298
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,880
up in the air towards you. I mean, I guess so,

299
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:24,240
But again, I'm pretty sure you can't just put a

300
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:27,799
new crown on somebody else and continue a chess game.

301
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,079
You duck your head down, the crown wraps around it,

302
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:38,559
and you feel a strange tingling sensation as your body

303
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:47,480
stretches upward. You suddenly feel the uncontrollable urge to yell orders.

304
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:52,559
You see patterns on the board, ways that the ponds

305
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,759
can move, places the knights and rooks should go, and

306
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:02,799
you begin to yell them out, pointing and ordering all

307
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,119
of the pieces to move in specific ways, ways that

308
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,440
you know will win the match. Your side charges forward,

309
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,000
knocking the others out of the way.

310
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: You take out the other.

311
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,799
Speaker 1: Side's pawns, their knights, their rooks, their bishops, until only their.

312
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 7: King and queen remain.

313
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: Ay, I give in, the other king says, before stiffening

314
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:41,319
and falling over on his side. The black pieces all

315
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,599
begin to cheer. They lift you up above their heads

316
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,160
and run you around in circles, placing you down right

317
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:57,880
beside the picture frame. Realizing how weird this whole experience

318
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,799
had been, you pull the crown off of your head,

319
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,440
causing your body to slowly shrink back down to your

320
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,799
normal human form. Then you step through the painting. Once again,

321
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,640
the frame wraps around you, transporting you back to the

322
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,119
well normal picture world. Well how did you like it,

323
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:29,200
Harvy asks, as you continue to walk through the fields

324
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:35,839
of pictures. Ah, it was pretty cool. And then you

325
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:44,799
see something spectacular, a picture of a metallic platypus wearing

326
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,440
a suit and standing in front of an office building.

327
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:52,720
You don't even wait to ask Harvey what's going on

328
00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:59,680
in this picture? You simply run forward and jump inside something.

329
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:05,319
The platypus looks suspiciously important, as if he knows a

330
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,160
secret that you would.

331
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,519
Speaker 7: Want to know.

332
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,839
Speaker 1: As soon as you step into the painting, the platypus

333
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,079
sees you and hurries off in the other direction, running

334
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:23,400
to a large building, whereout explaining anything, you run after him,

335
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,759
and he tries to run faster. Inside the building is

336
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:35,839
a strange mix of well office building, fancy hotel, museum,

337
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,119
and some sort of secret headquarters. You run through long,

338
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,319
shiny hallways as the platypus tries to get away from you.

339
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:49,519
He squeezes through some swinging doors on the other side.

340
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,839
You follow as quickly as you can. He races up

341
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:59,359
staircases and you race after him. He jumps in an elevator.

342
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,880
You run to get inside before the door's closed, but

343
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,599
you're slightly too late and it leaves without you. Luckily,

344
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,319
another elevator is next door. You jump inside it, press

345
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,319
a button that says up, and begin to move. Boring

346
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,680
music plays as the thing slowly goes higher and higher

347
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,799
until you hear a ding.

348
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:28,759
Speaker 2: The door opens up.

349
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:33,039
Speaker 1: You run outside to see the platypus running down the hall.

350
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,240
You run after him. As he turns the corner. He

351
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,559
knocks over a cart full of mail to try to

352
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,720
slow you down, but you easily hop over it.

353
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: He turns to the right.

354
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: And runs inside one of the office offices. You run

355
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:57,480
after him, turn the doorknob, burst inside to find the

356
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:05,119
platypus looking exhausted. Ah, you finally caught up with me.

357
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: He says, why are you running?

358
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:19,599
Speaker 1: You ask, I'm running because because you have to see this.

359
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,240
He walks over to the side of the building where

360
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:30,079
you see a little circle cut away in the wall. Ah,

361
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:36,720
what's that, you ask? This is the most epic slide

362
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,720
you've ever seen in your life.

363
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: Follow me.

364
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: The platypus jumps inside the slide and begins heading downward.

365
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,200
You look out the window to see a gigantic plastic

366
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,200
slide shooting out of the building, winding down around you

367
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,960
below and leading to the bottom, right near where you

368
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:04,880
came in in the first place. You shrug your shoulders

369
00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:11,200
and decide to jump inside. You soon find yourself flying downward.

370
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:16,839
The slide twists left and right, it loops around in circles,

371
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:22,319
and at one point it even flips upside down, which

372
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,839
makes your stomach jump for a second, until you fly

373
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:33,599
out the other side, straight through the picture, and find

374
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,279
yourself laying on the ground on the picture planet. Once again,

375
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:48,559
that was weird, you say, Yeah, that platypus always up

376
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:54,119
to weird stuff. Anyway, I was thinking, since you're here,

377
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:59,400
maybe you want to paint your own picture. He hands

378
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,480
you a paint brush and a series of paints on

379
00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:08,640
a little tray. Come on, there's some blank canvases over here.

380
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,920
You walk up to a large blank picture. You can

381
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,799
paint anything you want. All you have to do is

382
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:25,160
focus on it, and well it'll truly come to life.

383
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,279
You're feeling rather tired, and for some reason, all you

384
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:37,000
can think to draw is something very relaxing looking. You

385
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:43,000
paint a nighttime background with a little moon wearing sunglasses

386
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:48,279
for some reason, eye above it. Then you start to

387
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:56,519
create little fluffy clouds, very comfortable looking fluffy clouds. Then

388
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:01,039
you add some music notes for a hint of you know,

389
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:07,559
that relaxation you're looking for. Then you step back to

390
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:14,720
stare at the picture. Ah, very relaxing looking. Well, are

391
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,559
you gonna try it out?

392
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:17,599
Speaker 2: He asks?

393
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,279
Speaker 1: I guess so, you say, stepping into the picture frame

394
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:30,079
once again. The frame lifts and wraps around your body

395
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:36,319
until you find yourself standing in your picture, standing on

396
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:42,160
a cloud, surrounded by night sky. A fluffy little cloud

397
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,119
moves up behind you and slowly scoops you into a

398
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:54,480
little cloud chair. The cloud chair slowly lifts up into

399
00:30:54,559 --> 00:31:02,079
the air as gentle music plays. The moon looks down

400
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:07,920
at you, gives you a wink, and releases some kind

401
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,240
of star dust or something. As the dust passes over

402
00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:21,720
your body, you get an overwhelming sense of sleepiness. The

403
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:28,519
cloud chair reclines backwards and forms itself into a perfect

404
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,960
little cloud bed. Cloud covers pull up over top of

405
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,240
your body.

406
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:39,079
Speaker 7: And you close your eyes.

407
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: With each breath, you sink down deeper and deeper into

408
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:52,279
the little cloud bed, and you float higher and higher

409
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:57,079
into the air as your mind begins to wander off

410
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:03,759
to thoughts of a new dream, names, new pictures, and

411
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:05,880
new adventures to come.

412
00:32:07,359 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 7: Good night everyone, and.

413
00:33:53,640 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 4: Never union name in the New York Union, no comm

414
