1
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:07,839
Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,960
I'm Martin and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories,

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,280
the podcast that takes listener ideas and turns them into

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,199
bedtime stories. Tonight, our idea takes place in the Spaceship universe, which,

5
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:26,239
if you've never listened before, is basically a place where

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,679
you have a magic spaceship and it takes you on

7
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:32,600
all kinds of adventures. Honestly, that's all you really need

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,560
to know. Let's check out the suggestion for today.

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: Hi, Mio Shepherd, and I've been listening for three hundred years,

10
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:49,359
and I'd like a story about for the Spaceship series.

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:58,520
And yeah, and so you wake up in your spaceship,

12
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:03,679
and Spaceship says, I think we should go to a

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,840
portal and you go into the quarttal and you end

14
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,959
up in a new universe, and you see a planet

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,000
where you were. Everything's away out of clay and Rex

16
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,799
comes and he has this gadget that transforms the clay

17
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,359
into playing monsters. Thank you. I love for podcast.

18
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Well, thank you too, especially for listening for three hundred years,

19
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,359
because that is about one hundred times longer than I've

20
00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:41,519
been doing the podcast which is amazing. Though in those

21
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,640
three years, I have done about one point six million

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,280
downloads I believe, which in my mind is hopefully about

23
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:54,719
one point six million happy bedtimes. Now, if I wasn't

24
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,760
doing a podcast and I was just telling bedtime stories

25
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:02,519
to my own kids one per night, it would take

26
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:08,240
me four three hundred and eighty three years to tell

27
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,639
that many bedtime stories to my own kids, which is

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,599
a calculation that doesn't matter in any way. Big thank

29
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,159
you to everyone who's listening, everyone who's sharing the podcast,

30
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,680
and even more to anyone who's rating and reviewing the podcast,

31
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:27,080
especially with five stars. I did get one two star

32
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,039
rating recently that said I had a great voice and

33
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,599
great stories, but they didn't link the AI generated artwork,

34
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:40,400
and I'm sorry about that. But honestly, if we didn't

35
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,719
have the AI generated artwork, we wouldn't have artwork at

36
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,879
all because I cannot draw at all, nor do I

37
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,240
have time as I work a full time job too,

38
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,800
nor do I have enough money to pay somebody to

39
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,960
do those on their own. So that is why they

40
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,560
are AI generated. But to be fair, they are made

41
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,520
by me putting stories that I make myself into AI

42
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:09,639
for it to read and turn into a picture. So,

43
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,960
if you think about it, I actually put a lot

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,479
of non AI work into those things. So there, maybe

45
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,199
write that in a review. I'll stop now. Time to

46
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,719
close your eyes, get as comfy as you can in

47
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,759
that bed, and imagine yourself doing what the kid in

48
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,199
the story does. You wake up on Spaceship, swing your

49
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,080
legs over the side of your bed and stretch your

50
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:45,439
arms up into the air. You get up and walk

51
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:49,800
towards the door. It opens automatically as you approach with

52
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:55,159
a little whish sound. You step into the main part

53
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:59,520
of the ship and look out the viewscreen to see well,

54
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:05,560
kind of strange and interesting looking glowing thing in front

55
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,439
of the ship. Oh what's that, you ask, Spaceship. It

56
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,079
appears to be some type of anomaly. My readings indicate

57
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,680
that it leads to a different universe, one much like

58
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,959
our own, with slightly different rules, like an alternate reality,

59
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,920
you ask. I believe. So, however, I cannot determine the

60
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,079
rules for this specific reality. Should we go check it

61
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,480
out on our own, you ask? Calculating safety of that option,

62
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,240
interesting calculations indicate that my systems should be able to

63
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:54,680
return the ship to our current reality using my portal

64
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:00,160
technology even if we get stuck, meaning we can go

65
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,639
in safely and check things out. You ask, yes, that

66
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:11,680
is exactly correct. Well, then let's head inside. You sit

67
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000
down on the control seat, grab a hold of the

68
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,680
joystick and point the ship towards the glowing blue circle

69
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:25,639
of light. You press forward on the throttle and blast

70
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,480
straight towards the colorful thing. As soon as you pass

71
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,000
the threshold, you find yourself in a weird and colorful tunnel,

72
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:41,319
a wormhold of some kind. The ship stays directly in

73
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,600
the center as you move left, right, up and down,

74
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,199
eventually flying out the other side. As you do, a

75
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:58,480
wave passes over your body, a wave of well, something

76
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:03,439
you can barely articulate late, like a change in reality

77
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:08,560
or something like that. It feels tingly as it passes

78
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,079
over your body. You look down at your hands and uh,

79
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:23,600
what they're made of? Clay or something that looks like clay.

80
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Your hands, your legs. The entire ship suddenly looks like

81
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:36,600
it's out of a claymation cartoon from the eighties. The

82
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:41,360
ship has little clay buttons, little clay joysticks, and a

83
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:47,319
sort of soft feel to the entire thing. Spaceship, what's

84
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:52,839
going on? You ask? I believe this new reality has

85
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:58,759
new and interesting rules. Instead of creating carbon based life

86
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:03,600
forms like our reality, this one seems to have clay

87
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:09,800
based life forms and clay based everything. You press down

88
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:13,360
on the control panel a little bit, and sure enough,

89
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
it squishes, as if it's actually made out of clay.

90
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,879
Looking through the window, you see a little clay planet,

91
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:31,480
blue and green, very earth like honestly, except well, except

92
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,800
for that distinct clay like look. It's as if the

93
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:39,920
entire thing was sculpted by a child for some sort

94
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:45,240
of science project or something. Is it safe to explore more?

95
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:49,600
You ask, spaceship, as you look around at the weird

96
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,160
clay like structures now inside. My scans indicate that the

97
00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:59,480
portal is currently stable. We should be able to explore

98
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:04,319
without any issues. Would you like to check out the

99
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:11,399
nearby planet? I think I would? You say? You press

100
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,040
forward on the little clay joystick, and the ship points

101
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,839
down towards the world, just as it normally does. You

102
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:25,040
push forward on the throttle and you begin to move.

103
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:32,919
You fly down through the atmosphere through little clay clouds

104
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,720
that well, don't really look like they should be floating

105
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:44,200
and above a beautiful green and blue landscape. Trees and

106
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:49,679
rivers and lakes stretch out below you, all of them

107
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,440
of well made of clay. You find a large field

108
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,080
that looks like it would be a good place to land,

109
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,120
and you slowly you lower the ship down. Instead of

110
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:06,679
the normal pissing noise you normally get as the ship

111
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:11,440
touches down, this time it sounds more like a squeosh

112
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:18,080
or something like that. The back hatch opens up and

113
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:24,240
you walk outside. The ground itself is made of clay,

114
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,440
with little clay grass sticking up. It smushes down as

115
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,960
you step on it. There's clay trees and clay bushes,

116
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:38,919
and well, even the water itself seems to be made

117
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:45,519
out of clay, though it's moving still. You kneel down

118
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:49,919
and place your fingers into the ground. You scoop up

119
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,879
a huge ball of green and brown clay. You start

120
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,320
squishing it together into different shapes, different sizes. Honestly, Lee,

121
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,360
it feels just like the play clay you used to

122
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,080
use when you were younger. Hi, there, a voice says

123
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,799
from beside you. You look to the left to see

124
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,799
a clay boy. He looks human, if well humans were

125
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,759
made out of clay, of course. He waddles over towards you,

126
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:27,039
like a character in an old claymation film. Is that

127
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:35,240
your spaceship? Did you just mold that today? He asks? No, Actually,

128
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120
I flew in it to this planet. I've never seen

129
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:46,000
anything like this place. Everything's made out of clay, of

130
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,440
course it is. What else would it be made of?

131
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:55,600
The boy asks, my name's Shepherd. How do you do. Hey,

132
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,080
nice to meet you, Shepherd. You respond and introduce your

133
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,440
I'm kind of an explorer here. I travel all over

134
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,919
the universe, and I guess different universes, but this is

135
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,639
my first time on a planet like this. Wow, all

136
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:20,440
around the universe. That's so cool. I've never thought about

137
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,919
doing something like that. Maybe I should mold myself a

138
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:29,399
ship that can travel all over the universe. You could

139
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,639
do that, you ask, well, of course I can. You

140
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,240
can mold anything you can imagine and of course put

141
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:42,759
together with your hands. You just stare at Shepherd. You

142
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:50,840
can make anything, you say, even a spaceship. Yeah, of

143
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,840
course you can, Shepherd response, as long as you can

144
00:11:55,919 --> 00:12:00,440
shape it and infuse it with well, your own imagine nation.

145
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,840
It's important to be really specific with that. You can

146
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:09,360
create anything you can think of. Have you really never

147
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:15,960
done this before, he asks, looking at you inquisitively. Well,

148
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,679
I mean no, they don't do that on most planets.

149
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,279
Can you show me what you mean? Ah? Sure, I guess.

150
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Shepherd takes a second to think, and then he starts

151
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:36,279
moving left and right, collecting clay from well different colored objects.

152
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,480
He grabs a bunch of orange flowers, some black dirt,

153
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,039
some white stones, and begins to press them together, sheeping

154
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,519
a little head and little arms, and a tail, and

155
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,039
then well wings on the side. It becomes apparent that

156
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,559
he's creating a tiger, of some kind of winged tiger. Anyways,

157
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,559
he stops and looks at his creation, tapping his chin

158
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:14,240
like something's missing. He runs over to the water, grabs

159
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,720
a huge blob of blue clay and starts shaping it

160
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,840
into lightning bolts, or well, at least something that looks

161
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,960
alid like a lightning bolt. He shoves the lightning bolt

162
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,279
directly into the tiger's mouth and nods as if well

163
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,159
as if his creation is perfect. Suddenly the tiger comes

164
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,840
to life. It presses up against Shepherd, and he scratches

165
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:49,240
the thing on the chin. I introduce you to flying

166
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,440
lightning tiger. He says, you mean you can make things

167
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,000
that are living too, You ask, of course you can.

168
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Hand As I said, all it takes is a little

169
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:11,480
bit of imagination. Can that thing really shoot lightning? Huh? Yeah?

170
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:17,639
Watch this lightning tiger blast. As soon as he orders it,

171
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:23,960
the lightning tiger shoots out a blast of blue well

172
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,200
clay electricity. It sparks through the air, crashes into a tree,

173
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:36,240
causing an explosion of clay in all different directions. WHA

174
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:42,279
that almost well, that doesn't make any sense at all,

175
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:47,279
but I'm willing to give it a try myself. You

176
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,120
start looking around for different colors of clay of your own.

177
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,679
You grab the trunk of a tree, some leaves, some dirt,

178
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:03,399
some water, some well red roses, and you start smushing

179
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,440
them all together. You make a brown body using the trunk,

180
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,320
large green wings using the leaves, and something that looks

181
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:19,519
like fire using the red and well orange flowers you collect.

182
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,639
You carefully shape the head into the head of a

183
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,799
very fearsome but somewhat friendly dragon. You imagine them being

184
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:33,200
a very obedient dragon, one that likes to go on

185
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,399
adventures and protect you from dangerous things. Shepherd did say

186
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,440
it was important to imagine, after all. As you place

187
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:47,720
the fire in the dragon's mouth, you step back and nod,

188
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:55,039
looking at your creation approvingly. Slowly, the thing starts to move.

189
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,279
It moves up towards you and presses its head into

190
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:02,960
your hand. You scratch it on the side of the cheek,

191
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,200
and it moves as if it really enjoys that, kind

192
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,759
of like a cat. Well, you want to go for

193
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:16,159
a ride and explore things, Shepherd asks, I guess, so

194
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:22,200
can these things really fly? Of course they can, as

195
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,759
long as you imagined it flying. If you didn't imagine

196
00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:29,440
it flying, you might not want to get on. No,

197
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,399
I imagined it flying, you respond, As you climb on

198
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:40,120
to your clay dragon. All right, then, Shepherd says, climbing

199
00:16:40,159 --> 00:16:46,799
atop his clay winged lightning tiger, be careful, Spaceship says.

200
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:51,559
As you give your dragon a little kick, it jumps

201
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,279
into the air and takes flight, flapping its massive clay

202
00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:01,120
wings and floating in a way that well, a real

203
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,839
dragon wouldn't. I mean, real dragons can fly, but not

204
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,599
quite the way that a clay dragon flies. Shepherd leads

205
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,079
the way up into the air, up above the little

206
00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:21,200
clay floating clouds. You look up at the sky to

207
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:27,240
see the sun, or hey, sun anyways looking down at you.

208
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:32,240
It also looks like it's made of clay, only for

209
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,599
some reason, it has a face, and it's wearing sunglasses.

210
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:44,079
It winks at you as you fly below. Very strange.

211
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,480
You fly high above the clay world, over clay forests

212
00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:53,960
and clay lakes, until you catch a glimpse of something

213
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,519
else coming down from the sky, something kind of space like.

214
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:05,559
You fly closer to get a better look, and a

215
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:12,400
familiar shape appears, a spaceship shaped like the head of

216
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,000
a Tyrannosaurus Rex, though of course in this case made

217
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:24,799
entirely out of clay. Rex, you say, or at least

218
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,759
a Rex clone. What's he doing here? Follow me, you

219
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:34,559
say to Shepherd, giving a little kick to your dragon

220
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:41,160
and heading straight towards Rex's spaceship. The ship lands on

221
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,440
the ground. You and Shepherd drop down right in front

222
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,400
of it. The mouth of the ship opens up, a

223
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:56,240
little platform slides out, and soon you see him. Even

224
00:18:56,279 --> 00:19:00,440
if he's now made of clay, he's un mistake ekable,

225
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,279
a humanoid tea Rex wearing a lab coat.

226
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: Rex.

227
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:16,039
Speaker 1: Well, hello there, Rex says, I wondered if you'd find

228
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,960
my little universe here, just a little experiment I whipped up.

229
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,480
I knew someone as curious as you wouldn't be able

230
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:31,400
to resist exploring it. Oh wait a second, you made

231
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,599
this universe, you ask, looking over at Shephard, who just shrugs,

232
00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:40,240
not having any idea if this dinosaur made the universe

233
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:45,160
or not. Well, I'm not sure I actually made it,

234
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,400
but I did discover it, and I created a portal

235
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:55,119
to it, and I've been working on some interesting technology

236
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:02,680
to use on it. Observe pulls a little button out

237
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,000
of his pocket, like a tablet with a big red

238
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:10,759
button on it. He moves a little joystick on top

239
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:15,960
of the tablet, and a gigantic ray gun pops out

240
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,559
of the top of his ship. It points down towards

241
00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:24,359
the ground. Rex hits the big red button and a

242
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,680
blast of laser clay shoots out and makes contact with

243
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:36,359
the ground. Slowly, the ground starts to rumble. The clay

244
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,799
rises up shapes itself into the general shape of a

245
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,960
gigantic well, yeah, sort of like a clay monster creature

246
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:53,559
with arms and legs and a portly shaped head. The

247
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,160
creature roars, making a very odd and high pitched noise.

248
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:04,720
The gun continues to move, blasting more areas of the ground,

249
00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:11,359
blasting clay trees and clay rocks. Each one slowly transforms

250
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:19,160
itself into one of these strange clay monstrosities. Now have fun,

251
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:25,640
get them boys, Rex orders. The clay creatures look at

252
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,759
you and Shepherd and begin to walk forward, picking up

253
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,440
large clumps of clay and throwing them towards you. You

254
00:21:35,519 --> 00:21:39,200
quickly jump out of the way using your dragon, then

255
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,720
take to the air again. Come on, Shepherd, we have

256
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:47,440
to take care of these things quickly. Dragon fire, you say,

257
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,759
as you turn the dragon towards one of them. The

258
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,359
dragon opens its mouth and out of it comes a

259
00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:00,200
huge plume of boor ach and red clay, shaped like fire.

260
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:05,279
It shoots across the air straight into one of the creatures,

261
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,839
and strangely, it actually makes the creature slowly melt, leaving

262
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,759
a pile of gray clay with little red and orange

263
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:21,759
flames sticking out at the top of it. Shepherd tries

264
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:25,920
the same thing with his lightning tiger, unleashing a clay

265
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,519
bolt of lightning that hits one of the creatures and

266
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:34,839
causes them to explode, but Rex continues to make more.

267
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:40,160
The clay creatures continue to march towards you and throw

268
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,799
giant clumps of clay. You blast as many as you can,

269
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,680
but there's just too many of them. Okay, Sheppard, I

270
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,759
think we need time to come up with a better plan.

271
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:55,799
Let's go, you say, giving a little kick to your

272
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,960
dragon and zooming off in the other direction. You fly

273
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,200
over top of the forest, over top of a small mountain,

274
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,039
and land on the ground on the other side. All right,

275
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:13,400
this should give us enough time to come up with something. Spaceship,

276
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,319
Are you there? You ask?

277
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,599
Speaker 2: Be there?

278
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: In one moment, A clay ship with clay fire shooting

279
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,920
out of the back of it, hovers above your head

280
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,720
and lands on the ground beside you. How can I

281
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:34,759
be of assistance? It asks, Well, we're going to need

282
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:37,720
to create something to get rid of those clay people,

283
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:43,920
And well, I figure we can make anything we want.

284
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,960
A creatures are pretty basic. As long as we can

285
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,960
imagine something more powerful, I think we'll be able to

286
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,079
take it on interesting. May I propose that each of

287
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,839
us comes up with a design of our own liking

288
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,000
and sculpts it out of clay as quickly as we can.

289
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,200
That does sound look a good idea, you say, looking

290
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,359
over at Shepherd. Eh, I'm cool with it, Shepherd says,

291
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,559
and will gets started. Spaceship first transforms himself into a

292
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,359
more robot like creature with giant robot arms and robot legs.

293
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,559
He quickly begins picking up trees, smashing them into the ground,

294
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,079
carving huge clay bodies with arms and legs and heads,

295
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,200
and then he starts crafting things that look like ray

296
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:47,599
guns or blasters, strapping them onto the clay creature's shoulders

297
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:54,400
and hands. Shepherd immediately gets to making well more lightning tigers.

298
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:58,319
It's all I could think of under the pressure, he says,

299
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,279
as he continues to smush together different clay pieces into

300
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,359
lightning tigers of all different shapes and sizes. You simply

301
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,640
shrug your shoulders and decide to follow his lead. You

302
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,920
gather as much clay as you can the trunk of

303
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:22,319
a tree, leaves, feathers, roses, flowers, bushes, and you begin

304
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,759
smushing them together, making a body much bigger than the

305
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:31,839
first dragon you created, with wings, a tail, a scary

306
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,920
looking head, and of course, flames in its mouth. Then

307
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,200
you start putting together another dragon, only this time you

308
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:47,880
decide to make it out of water, an ice dragon,

309
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,680
you say, as you begin to craft the gigantic blue dragon,

310
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,359
this time with flames of blue energy that you imagine

311
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,079
to be a sort of ray in its mouth. Soon

312
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,440
you hear the booming and sort of squishing footsteps of

313
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:15,640
Rex's clay army. As the giant clay pieces march towards you,

314
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,839
you look around and see that you've actually amassed a

315
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:26,000
bit of an army of yourself. Ten lightning tigers, nine dragons,

316
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:33,480
and three gigantic and fully armed robots, much larger than

317
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:41,400
Spaceship himself. I believe we are ready, Spaceship says. You

318
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:46,480
jump atop the largest dragon, and Shepherd jumps atop the

319
00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:51,960
largest winged lightning tiger. Each of you gives it a

320
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,880
little kick, and you take to the air. The other

321
00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:01,039
tigers and other dragons fly up behind you. The robots

322
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:08,039
begin to march forward, and you yell attack all at once.

323
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,839
Clay streams of flyer shoot out of the dragon's mouths

324
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:16,839
well except the ice dragon that shoots a huge plume

325
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:23,000
of blue clay. The fire dragons almost immediately melt their

326
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:29,359
clay opponents, while the ice dragon surrounds his and some

327
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,759
sort of hard layer of blue clay. The lightning tigers

328
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:39,799
make many of the others explode, and the giant robots

329
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,359
begin to unleash weapons of all different kinds, rockets and

330
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:49,839
lasers and some sort of giant cannon mounted on their

331
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,599
arms that shoots large cannon balls or something like that.

332
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,480
One by one, Rex's clay creatures fall, all smushed to

333
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:07,799
the ground, melted down or frozen in blue clay. Rex's

334
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:13,240
ship floats closely behind, creating more as quickly as a can.

335
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:17,119
You set your sights on the large cannon atop the

336
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,200
ship and give the dragon a little kick. You blast

337
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:29,000
forward at incredible speed and yell fire blast, all at once.

338
00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:32,640
A huge blast of fire shoots out of the dragon's

339
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,839
mouth and connects with the clay ray gun. The gun

340
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,799
is blasted off and broken into pieces, all of which

341
00:28:42,839 --> 00:28:47,200
are on fire or at least covered in clay fire,

342
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,279
which is sort of hard to explain and weird looking.

343
00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:55,440
As the tigers and dragons and robots defeat the last

344
00:28:55,559 --> 00:29:02,440
remaining giants in Rex's army, as ship suddenly turns around,

345
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:10,640
blasts off into the atmosphere, and disappears into space. Oh wow,

346
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,359
Shepherd says, that was awesome. I haven't been able to

347
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:20,519
do something like that. And well, ever, well I'm glad

348
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:24,079
you enjoyed it, you say to Shepherd, as you carefully

349
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,279
land your dragon and flying lightning tiger on the ground.

350
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,480
Things like that seem to happen to me a lot.

351
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,640
It's as if adventures always looking for me. Either way,

352
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,039
it's been fun, but we should probably get going. What

353
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,279
do you want me to do with all these dragons

354
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:49,799
and tigers, you ask, Yeah, just leave them here. They

355
00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:54,319
seem nice, all right, Then, you say, as you slide

356
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,400
off of your own dragon, pat it on the side

357
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:03,839
of the head and wave goodbye. Spaceship remolds itself beside you.

358
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Instead of glowing blue and transforming like it normally does,

359
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,480
it just kind of smashes itself together back into the

360
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:17,920
spaceship shape. The back door opens up and you climb

361
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,839
aboard into the main part of the ship, which has

362
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,240
a living room made of clay, a kitchen made of clay,

363
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,039
a toy room and book area made entirely out of clay,

364
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,559
and of course, a control center at the front, which

365
00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:39,960
has made entirely out of clay. As well. Our spaceship

366
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,319
time to go home, you order, the back hatch closes,

367
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,720
spaceship lifts up off of the ground and blasts up

368
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:56,200
through the clouds, through the atmosphere, and back into space.

369
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,799
You watch as it heads directly for the poor, which

370
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:05,319
on this side looks like a huge swirl of clay

371
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:10,119
moving around in circles. As the ship passes through it,

372
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:17,240
that strange sensation passes over your body again. You look

373
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,640
down and see that your hands have become normal hands,

374
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:27,839
and the spaceship has become a normal, magical spaceship. Once again,

375
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:35,839
You yawed, feeling kind of tired from such an adventure. Well, Spaceship,

376
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,920
I think I better get to bed, you say, as

377
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,400
you head over towards the bedroom door. Have a good night,

378
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,200
spaceship replies. The door opens up and you step inside

379
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:56,359
your very own bedroom. You climb into the bed, pull

380
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,559
the covers up to your chin, and the lights fade automatically.

381
00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:07,640
You close your eyes and begin to just focus on

382
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:13,759
your breath, noticing as your stomach rises and falls with

383
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:20,599
each breath. You imagine your arms and legs sinking down

384
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,160
into the mattress, releasing any tension they're holding it. All,

385
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,920
and with each breath you drift a little bit further,

386
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:38,839
You become a little more comfortable, and soon your mind

387
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,160
begins to wander off to thoughts of new dreams, new adventures,

388
00:32:45,960 --> 00:35:30,280
and new universes to come. Good Night everyone, Vernon.

389
00:35:06,519 --> 00:38:33,599
Speaker 3: Sam in.

390
00:39:25,039 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: New York.

391
00:40:49,519 --> 00:41:49,159
Speaker 3: Union.

392
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 2: No Mom, no.

393
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 3: More, never mo.

394
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 2: M M.

395
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: One. One man,
