hercules i i read something last night that i've never heard before [Music] let's say hercules this theme song of course oh damn it but no one how did i do this fighting for the ride this theme song of course famously recorded by johnny nash who is famous for his hit song i can see clearly now [Music] people use the song as personal inspiration for all sorts of things you know overcoming adversity surviving drug addiction and all this kind of stuff comes into your life you know what do you know
what to do but i read that the reason johnny nash wrote the song oh two villains the legion of dudes yeah before this day is done i shall be king of caledon no no oh i shall be the king already problems the deal is i will be king no i'll be king no you'll be king we shall [Music] the reason johnny nash wrote the song [Music] [Laughter] i love when you find out oh yeah yeah the songs are great yeah the reason behind it not what you think a mere puff of smoke usually a secret origin for a song lik
e that is something horrifying but in this case it's like oh it's literally yeah [Music] like uh like sitting on the dock at the bay wasn't supposed to have all that whippling at the end because he died before he could finish writing you know finishing the song i [Music] you know whistling filler for it hmm [Applause] [Music] speaking of a song that's about nothing except what it says doc of the bay okay great zeus here comes another one another true hercules many of my subjects will die unless
i give up my throne they have to wear those masks huh wear masks people where are they coming from if i could only get his mask off he'd tell us [Applause] [Music] what a sticky mess just what i need a reason to put on my my ring what a sticky mess a perfect time for hercules to cut the commercial [Music] yeah shenlong oh he picked up molten stone [Music] or would that be bronze [Music] or breathe yeah oh punch in the face here it comes wow there's actually a wind-up animation [Laughter] my mask
is off so that's who's behind it my shield why i otter yeah [Music] now he didn't say mount vernon what did he say oh no [Music] come on deadlist is camping he's got a really crappy wallheim build going on up there well my back hercules theme music time [Music] you and your big ideas it was your idea well so they're sillies oh well it would have worked if it wasn't for the meddling hercules [Music] that hurt huh what an actor and neil was pointing out that the uh the robert frost about two road
s diverging in the woods and taking the road less traveled when i asked robert literal when they asked robert frost about it he said well i saw these two roads in the woods that's where you'll find that okay ivory should be excited about diver damn these are surprising and stranger than ever [Music] [Music] meanwhile the outlet becomes ever drearier so goalie is is still here there must be a way out she was episode one wasn't she i don't think there's hope for us one thing sure what's that this
is episode 25. the remaining noise when it toppled and it went short and boom it sure did maybe miss minerva heard it and we'll investigate well i'll keep my fingers is minerva her first name or is the last name we'd better hide i found out what snuffleupagus's first name is what is it you coming too aloysius aloysius [Music] you know that any human can stay underwater just so long and no longer i should surface as soon as possible so i assume his last name is monster it'll be too late uh all he
mentions is that he has a brother named fred his name was sid you went up and down before you remember i had my air hoses sid sea monster time i brought my portables brother friends back up i must have the ropes to pull me the ropes are far on the other side of this rock troubles troubles troubles what are they thinking up on the surface like where's this guy going yeah don't blame yourself i think i hear voices quiet i i do too but i don't tell them tell anybody now teetering rock has fallen t
here must be a reason but even though it has fallen is this necessarily bad yeah wow existential awesome no yes but do we know that they may be far from here whoops stop making trouble um it was like he was gonna say stupid [ __ ] i couldn't tell i can't hear you stupid [ __ ] i think we should all go back home and wait until we hear from the diver in finley they'll listen one more time i'm going to tap i do hear voices this is our only hope be sure to drink your oval teens tapping oh someone's
in there finley and horace couldn't make a noise like that it must be diver dan must be trying to send us a message what does it mean i'll tap and it's os maybe they think maybe it's fortunato then pretty short again sos means help you got any wine in there miss minerva what is that over there it's uh mr river gonna know oh no what the hell we must have left them here dynamite just sitting around now we know the diver is on the other side explosives trigger why didn't you notice them oh but what
i oh i don't know why i put oh it's your cigarette is miss minerva gonna know what he's way out he's on the inside yes you're right well they know english explosives smoking cigarettes too bad we can't explode english came from the sea but if we could we would be able to blast the rock open oh look miss maneuver tiny hole maybe goldie can go through there try it goldie she's my favorite [Music] holy brave little fish well goldie where did you come from goldie bless you you're the answer to our
prayers yes but i know how do we get the rock open with the explosives how's that goldie came through the hole didn't she well she can go and bring the fuse through the hole i have the underwater flints here i will ignite the fuse on this side and the explosives will explode on the other side oh that's smart and we'll be free yeah bye-bye minerva well i'm doing okay kind of tough with the strings though kind of making it through here and if we put the explosives by the rock here and if we all ge
t far away the explosion will open the blocked entrance and they'll be free we hope says the german fish [Music] actually something's happening in the sub episode i mean like there's slowly you know actually participating well don't mansplain it [Music] and make it let's get my utility bill [Music] goldie attempts to get her friends free but now is she trapped we must wait and see no it's a dangerous no i don't know so tiny trying to save your friends in the briny [Music] [Music] yeah we have to
wait until next week if they even get to the explosion next week yeah this show has a way of uh just not doing anything long fused a really long fuse the whole show okay time for well the attack of the abominable snowman came to grief when our boy rocky zoomed to the defense of his power bullwinkle the snowman definitely came off the loser but then both our heroes were surprised to hear a familiar voice emerging from inside the snowman get me out of here that's our friend gidney the moon man bu
t how can we get him out he's been at by the snowman no but winkle he is the snowman only half rocky i'm the other part hey that sounds like like the name is cloyd gee you sure sounds like him too here bullwinkle help me tear this cover off and when rocky zipped open the cover sure enough there were the two moon men kidney and cloyd whatever were you doing in that getup tell them cloyd well i i thought it would be a good joke joke it'd like to scared us out of seven years growth yeah our two gui
des still haven't come back sure enough boris and natasha were at that moment heading over the hill the left mooseberry bush don't talk to me about rifles but what we do and central control ask questions what else we look him straight in the eye and lie but how come you're clear over here in pennsylvania give me you last we heard you were locking them dead at las vegas that was the trouble and as they trudged down the hill gidney told the boys his story it seems that after their great success as
a song and dance team a television producer signed them to appear on a new western show called moonsmoke everything went well until the last scene in the show gee where's marshall moon here comes the crater kid now something you wanted crater yep i'm calling your bluff marshall growl cloyd drew all right but unfortunately fired his scrooch gun directly at the camera as a result the entire television audience was frozen solid all over the country people were literally glued in front of the telev
ision sets the late late late late late show had its biggest audience ever gee then what happened thanks our show is cancelled how come with an audience that couldn't move away from their sets they didn't need shows you mean yep now they're showing nothing but commercials i'm not too sure i want to go home look oh it's probably fixed by now bullwinkle besides we gotta take back this mooseberry bush berry bush you found the last one in the world we can make our rocket feel we can get back to the
moon oh you're just our favorite earth people well i uh well i really plan to give this bush to our government give it to your government but that means we'll never get back to the moon no we'll never see the old home crater again no more sitting in the porch in the evening watching the earth come up gee fellas i'm sorry oh that's all right rocky you have your duty to do golly boy i just feel terrible about kidney and chloe yeah suppose we were on the moon and couldn't get back yeah bullwinkle i
'm gonna do it good what i'm gonna get the moon man back to the moon and let down the entire whole united states government rocket j squirrel i'm ashamed on you and the indignant bull winkle turned on his heel and walked away well well rocky our rocky really failed to carry out his mission don't miss our next episode fuels russian or the star-spangled boner [Laughter] okay so they scrooched the entire uh us television audience they kind of already are though yeah you know so must see thursday an
d see television right so so so the tv stations were showing nothing but commercials and bullwinkle says i i don't think i want to go home now yeah that's pretty funny yeah right neal just the ones watching cbs if you're those who are watching uh yeah moonsmoke on on cbs if you're watching bullwinkle on nbc you're okay hi matt thanks for coming in did you just get here well did you did you see that i ivory tipped i did see this yes ivory thank you thank you for the five dollars ivory uh so glad
you're here um matt says he was trying to raid but twitch was being weird how so the controls weren't working well anyway thanks for yeah it happened yeah thanks for trying we've got 10 people uh in the chat now please uh uh we're about to start watching today's featured material i just posted the uh donation link in the twitch chat and there's also a link to our merchandise store please give those a look hi carol carol came in and said howdy there's the uh stream labs uh donation link again we'
ve got five dollars so far our goal is a hundred so we're at five percent thanks to ivory but um today we're going to watch some early television sci-fi we're going to start with captain video the um i guess the definition of television science fiction it was the first show of its kind on television it was a broadcast on the dumont network starting in 1949 um and it was uh performed live same one that ed norton would would bring up captain video video rangers because uh the honeymooners were on
the dumont network too so not only was it a funny gag but they were promoting uh one of their most popular shows the uh um it was immensely popular it was broadcast every evening monday through saturday at 7 pm every evening live this awful science fiction show it had a reputation for being terrible but people loved it it was super cheap cardboard sets and terrible writing it had a reputation for god awful bad writing the the cartoonist dave berry you remember dave berry um uh he said he talked
about watching captain video when he was a kid you could send away for their little their little decoder ring the the little toy decoder ring he said the decoder ring had better production value than the show and it was it was cost a penny or whatever wow 9.99 posted right um uh neil says it was in direct competition with cucafran and ollie in some markets hmm i i imagine kukla fran and ollie much more popular but uh in those markets still is he says kukla actually read the new york city ratings
on air one night what did they say but almost nothing survives of uh captain video uh dumont was not keeping the films of the show they really couldn't in those super early days the we're gonna watch something from the first uh captain video is pulling ahead really says wow um well i don't know how good this is going to be i don't know how worth watching this is going to be it looks pretty awful um the uh the the show the one that we're gonna see um uh is from the first guy to play captain vide
o his name is al hodge he left after two years along with a number of other people because they weren't being paid enough and also they weren't being cut in on the merchandise that dumont was selling with their pictures on it which is a problem that these production companies have had from the beginning and still do um right that's why uh uh that's why rick marshall um dropped out of the third season of land of the lost that's why their dad disappeared the third season of land of the lost becaus
e they were selling merchandise with his picture on it and not the crops were selling merchandise with his picture on it without his permission and without paying him and he was like i'm not going to put up with that and then good for him um so so yeah that's been a perpetual problem but this was the first science fiction television show on television again by the dumont network we need to to examine um the the dumont network in more detail at some point because uh the dumont network were the th
e dumont company manufactured radios they were radio manufacturers and when people started to buying televisions they started manufacturing televisions but there weren't any shows there weren't any tv shows so to uh they started producing they started broadcasting their own shows and of course they were doing everything live and they were selling uh selling dumont tvs so people could watch the shows and that's the same reason that uh the other networks abc nbc and cbs were making their own shows
so that people would have something to watch was to sell televisions um and there there was nothing pre-recorded nothing to show there was literally nothing on the air we've talked about this plenty of times unless somebody sat in front of a live camera and that's why betty white was on tv all day every day yeah in 1949 and captain video was one of those was one of those things and dumont we need to talk about dumont because they they did a lot of experimental stuff including stuff like putting
the first science fiction show on the air they were first people to put wrestling and bowling on tv stuff that the other networks assumed nobody would want to watch and uh of course they were the first people again to put the honeymooners on uh okay let's go into the tv room and watch some captain video um i didn't watch this uh but i gotta tell you it looks pretty dismal let's uh so what's on brand [Music] fighting for law and order captain video operates from a mountain retreat with secret ag
ents at all points of the globe possessing scientific secrets and scientific weapons captain video asks no quarter and gives none to the forces of evil dang stand by captain video it's like mass slaughter huh yeah yeah stand by giving no quarter doesn't mean that you let him go by that long-lasting swell shoot the kill power stand by for [Music] so how many times a night did this guy standing in front of a microphone have to yell captain videos [Music] into immediate flames using nearby mountain
vindaram as a discharge point for his destructive force the sparrow charted with glee as he received reports of the mounting flames pleased with the results colonel sugrat still was disturbed and video rangers you and i know why and many many thousand miles away let's start our story with captain [Music] video hello captain video speaking mental intelligence lieutenant mark martin speaking captain video the commissioner um they're already screaming up to date on blasey what's that i can't hear
you uh air reconnaissance reports a movement of thousands of sheep and thousands of goats from the area surrounding blonde seats toward paracord sir i see in addition to which our men in paracoute report their whole area has been devastated by fire of undetermined origin but tell me this were there any signs of sabotage as i understand it sir the heat of the flames was so great that even stones were burned to a powder yes [Music] all right now look lieutenant i'm on my way back to the laboratory
will you further uh send me further details on this by special messenger yes sir together with aerial voters taken within the last 24 hours all right i expect to hear from the ranger once i get back to the laboratory and i want to afford this information to him yes sir thanks a lot lieutenant goodbye goodbye oh would you like to lower your finance rates oh never mind [Laughter] um ivory's asking what year was this um captain video started in 1949 and it and it played live every night through 19
55 i think it was six years that's a hell of a lot of work you'll fly perfect oh no i'm not going to fly the plane there's a lot more work to be done on it uh i can't why did it may never fly against king lear because i'd rather look at that map than your ugly face wow i'll get back to where you belong let me finish the work on this plane so he is he evil uh ivory captain video started in 1949 it ran live every night in 1955 this we're watching would have been like around 1950 this is an early o
ne almost none of these have survived there's just a handful of these that exist like 12 of them out of like 1700 episodes all is clear all is clear it's all gone down into the valley i need about three talking to us yeah i can roll the plane to the edge of the tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is that the sound of him rubbing his beard here's another chance another opportunity to prove your lack whatever what is he doing he's acting oh but i have indulged in something much more did you see any
thing uh interesting smoke clouds dark in the sky even fleeing something boring i told you that little switch the 7pm show was so popular that they started a saturday morning show called the secret files of captain video in the world dumont had another science fiction show called tom corbett space cadet and we'll watch some of that next experiment a test so to speak to show what my little baby here can do when it's grown up it's economic this time we charge only the very peak of mount vinderrah
just 300 feet down from the very tip and what will happen when you are prepared to use the full power you generate here seismographs all over the world will register terrific earthquake shocks and the precise area under my attention will be as bleak as desolate and cold as the other side of the moon then upon you saw my man to hold to consolidate the gains i will have made to fortify themselves against future attack by building me another baby larger and more powerful than this one so you begin
to see the plan there are two super villains here from which exactly so the shining time station is evil because the conductor's right there go move your man move your sheep and goats and leave the rest to me oh oh by the way have you received word from the courier yet with the complete message in the excitement i forgot i shall have my mention you can hear the sound of clicks everywhere as you switch the channel i will uh i will call for you when next i perform an experiment ah i forget my line
s [Music] that kind of glasses giving off the vibe of the janitor from bob goblins [Music] flames smoke will cover the sky like an unbroken cloud and extend or just have a cookout whatever destruction by fire flopping in rangers here's why this ring is so important to me it's all video agents oh hi i didn't see that in the united states or any place in the world oh hi mark if anyone questions your identity all you've got to do is show them this ring you see the picture of captain video on the to
p is proof that you're a qualified video agent we're in this ring of all time so if any of you rangers haven't gotten your ring yet why get one right away and wear it at all times to show that you're on the side of town why is it being kept in the video it's like calling him boyfriend girl captain captain video picture right here yes well candy bars because it's the wrappers from this delicious pastry that bring you this valuable identification ring if you get the credible surge you need two wra
ppers and ten cents a coin that's two nickel wrappers remember ivory do you remember this candy bar i have no idea what this is you need only one wrapper cents and coin either way mail your rappers along with your name and address to powerhouse box 95 i received yes video picturing in about two weeks better write that address down about two weeks it's powerhouse bachmann tell us about it new york 46 what did it look like was it like three musketeers or more like baby ruth blakely and the ranch a
re on the way to blanxie right now well the plan is that as soon as uh blakely has been parachuted down the ranger will make his return trip please deposit 50 for the next two minutes yes i'll contact you as soon as you get back right out commissioner i think there's going to be a lot of telephone conversations central office is going to be overworked she says it was a generic nougat bar like uh like milky way [Music] yeah that's that's my favorite milky way milky way has caramel i've been prett
y busy how to change my altitude and course twice to bypass a couple of hurricanes oh it had peanuts in it you didn't like peanuts well blakely's eyesight was responsible for that sir i don't get you right no attention i'm off screen right now japanese hero flying the same course that we're flying only about eighteen thousand feet well that's very strange inspired by everybody of aviation yes sir captain they say they gave no clearances to any such plane on any such course over wikipedia points
out that it's impossible to tell what time period this is supposed to be taking place in pilot you know i want to give them a good look at our markings in some episodes they're clearly in present day and some episodes they're like myself but i want you to continue according to plan i want flakes to be dropped on schedule and safely okay right captain my arrival time will be approximately use your inside voice quadrant right i've got it now let me speak to blakely ranch i got a message for him ri

ion at five minutes 40 seconds power on bait-in delayed circuit pattern k-r-g what did i what what did i do what did i what did i what did i touch oh it's a dvd menu uh okay time to watch the cowboy show marlboro all we ask is a square deal we won't stand being robbed any longer you're not given orders you're taking them quiet man right now here after you'll pay cash apparently you know i can't do that that's your worry not mine you won't starve my fam oh apparently the dumont studios bought i d
on't like this these piles of uh cowboy films the idea of making a television show and captain video was going to introduce the shows it was going to be captain video was just going to be the host of this cowboy show but it turned out the captain video was much more popular so but they still needed to use these cowboy films they paid for so every episode captain video himself would sit down to watch the cowboy phones god what crap i'm glad he's paying attention to his video job [Applause] don't
put it in there boss i can't reach it so make a deposit so they kept this up every night for what six years yeah captain video watching cowboy movies yeah neil you're right at least hey look there's a crotch in the window yeah ivory i understand that that uh cowboy toys and tv shows and movies were the most popular thing in the world for kids picking yeah i had cowboy guns when i was a kid [Applause] i want to see a part of mine you got him in here i'm going to see him unless you can't do [Music

i'm assuming that the one of the attractions of captain video was that it was live because live shows always have more always have more immediacy [Applause] like we've talked about this before i'll watch i'll watch one of my favorite streamers live even though they're not doing much of anything just because i'm wondering what they're doing and and i don't go back and watch their videos on demand really much at all this live live show has so much immediacy [Applause] [Applause] yeah you're right
neil the the appeal in a lot of markets was it was the only thing on if you couldn't get any other network would you just imagine cowboys did you see that dear boy i am beginning to think it would be a distinct pleasure to drop ten thousand feet of the earth rather than have you scratch my jokes quickly well no thanks oh boy i shall try to land in my feet like a cat oh boy he's like 13. okay i'm going to decelerate now to 250 right watch for my signal right okay open the door [Applause] [Music]

rted when part of the cargo escaped from the bunk room now how can a cargo escape well sir that's why i requested permission to deliver this report in person we uh didn't want to go into too much detail for the right is he going to force choke him a little sir yeah he got loose again sir see what we mean that's the reason why we didn't try to explain it over the audio siever sir was captain strong was on venus it's hard to know that a monkey was making monkeys out of them do you mean that that h
e sent out the distress alert that's right he put the ship through a little space acrobatics yes sir and a great deal more and i didn't quite know how to ever made him a costume oh yes yes the report report yeah let's hold the chat circumstances [Laughter] yes sir it sure would sir uh very embarrassing sir all right all right you win but don't let this be an excuse for any future blackjetting how'd you get out of line once more so help me i'll put him in command of the polaris i'll work [Music]
a real spaceship [Music] what's going on here oh there we go beyond tomorrow don't forget to be with us for exciting adventure of tom corbett's spaceship exciting that's what that was okay yeah jack grunts [Music] oh that was j fred mugs the first from uh what the today show wasn't j fred mugs he was on like good morning america or the today show yeah um neil says the today show so this was during the nbc period i guess then july to september of 51. this has been a rock hill production presented
by craft caramel j fred mugs himself what do you know that was it was a name that i definitely recognized from uh the early early today show they had they had the chimp on every day um along with a puppet there's a puppet charlemagne the lion i believe we'll need to talk about the today show someday on throwback tv um all right the next thing we're gonna watch i wanted to to mention about captain video before i left i forgot to talk about this while it was on after the first few years when the
uh the writing on captain video was notoriously bad they started recruiting actual science fiction writers and the list of of science fiction writers is astonishing listen to this damon knight james bliss jack vance arthur c clark isaac asimov cyril m kornbluth robert sheckley this is a list of science fiction who's who that's really astonishing um the the fact that so many of those recognizable uh science fiction names got involved with uh captain video maybe it did get better i don't know some
how i doubt it yeah chances are slim to none yeah all right um okay the next the last thing we're going to watch is a uh captain video knockoff called captain zero that's uh in the meantime um in the meantime the uh link for uh donating uh sending us a donation came up in the twitch chat there or you can donate directly to the paypal address on screen right there please consider donating we're only at five dollars for today our goal every saturday is a hundred and there's also a link to our uh o
ur merchandise shop you can get t-shirts mugs stickers all that sort of thing captain zero ran locally in los angeles from 1952 to 53 and was later syndicated nationally beginning in 1955 through 56 only one year it was short-lived um but it's definitely a captain video knockoff and you'll see what i mean immediately i did watch this one all the way through it's not great but it's it's fun but it's kind of fun so uh here we go with uh captain zero see [Music] are we all exploring going to the fu
ture in time and space like every moment this is um i guess this is where captain zero's headquarters [Music] this is supposed to be earth in this secret location known only to a few in the outside so every time the announcer says then in captain zero the name comes up to plan for the future because that's where you and i are going to spend the rest of our lives right we now transmit you direct to the laboratory of captain zero please stand by it has better productions set the location and activ
ate the view screen i have no depth perception where is it the guy with the mustache is captain zero and he's the guy who wrote this too well madagascar is huge see how intricate this set is much more than anything we've seen so far nice use of neon up there there you are peter chose eat it nearly 4 000 years old they're not that great okay roger move to the chair and sit down fine yes whatever you want want me to twerk too i can do that too they do a pretty neat camera trick here what are you g
oing to do now why is captain zero safe before yeah see they cut away just briefly so that the they're already going to switch out the uh the guy in the robot suit with an actual prop yeah how large are the pyramids they vary quite a bit yet but the great pyramid the one on the right there covers an area of over 12 acres and it's almost 50 stories high 50 stories high that's right a solid mass of stone blocks weighing hundreds of times that's right 50 stories what stephen king can output in one
day manpower for nearly 30 years practically the entire population of egypt was forced to drag those huge stones into place and fit them together none of that's true the king or fell so that his body if he doesn't concentrate that he's going to have another screwdriver sticking it to be his tomb like the other 12 that are in there now or spirit for all eternity oh i remember now they put all sorts of treasure in the tomb too didn't they that's right golden furniture chariots alabaster vases jewe
ls ottomans everything that's broke in life he took apart the robot's head just to adjust the volume briefly are there any pyramids still unopened that's a really inconvenient place to put this broken into thousands of years ago by thieves and in modern times need to invent bluetooth archaeology captain yet because when the pyramid was first entered some 3000 years after it had been sealed up tight nothing was found but an empty coffin and yet there was oh was he there for that anything could ha
ve been taken out but but then what happened to everything that was inside captain zero mcbragg but maybe we can find out perhaps we can discover what happened to the mummy that was in that coffin it's a thin premise for a plot who built the great pyramid standby to activate the time machine yes sir or we can just spend the rest of the afternoon building some ikea furniture you know whatever bring up the voltage to one million surrogate one million five standard cycle reactor yes sir one point t
wenty one gigawatts petrol yes captain standby to operate the time machine yes sir at nine nine one point eight seven five nine nine one point that's hopefully the length goes up to about a hundred what what am i doing right pyramid giza in year two thousand bc standby for signal yes sir for no reason oh while we're going there can we stop it november 22nd 1963. i'm gonna want to do a salading back into time going into bc 10 20 30. [Music] hal is watching their lips move yeah now there's the pyr
amid as it is today change angle to the north side and switch on tempest units change angle to the north side so it's still not done yet [Music] when did the aliens show up and there's the north side of the great pyramid nearly 4 000 years ago but captain why did you focus to the north side because that's the side of the secret entrance the only opening to the pyramid but i don't see that what's all this about the great pyramid at giza there it is ted and i are going back to have a look inside m
aybe find a missing mummy of kiosks want to come along four thousand years back into time to crawl through a pyramid looking for an egyptian mummy no thanks okay then we'll go along sounds like a commercial coming up yeah hey kids you have a mummy too right if somebody's cop lies by i'm leaving the same way in the opposite direction but the pyramid is solid rock petrol and there's only one exit don't quit if i decide to leave in a hurry ridiculous costumes okay let's go you tell them that those
things get snagged on a lot it's a lot of things you know roger stand by to handle the dematerialization roger roger so you were you were over unker and he was under done what he's shaking his head okay that does it what's wrong fellas i'll see you later wait a minute petrol roger's just a robot his actions are strictly mechanical i don't know maybe that electronic brain of his has more sense than ours are you coming with us or not okay okay but are you sure roger can't think for himself certain
ly he can't roger obeys commands that's all roger can do a lot of things tetro but the one thing he can't do is think foreshadowing maybe [Music] unless you give him duracell batteries hey roger throw the switch and stand by to bring us back on signal [Music] well here we go if you get in trouble i can't help [Laughter] they have tiny pyramids painted in the distance so that you know where they are well i've seen enough the nice it's a nice day for it yeah what for it'll take ten tons of blastin
g powder to get inside of this thing no there's a secret entrance along here or they can use radar yeah when i first watched this entrance when i was first watching this i was hoping it would get educational i don't know but whoa [Music] but it doesn't matter because with the whole time travel thing i was hoping it would be like mister imagination or you know peabody and mr yeah we're going to find out if the mummy of keops was ever actually buried in here but i don't don't watch it roger wait t
hey have to hook all their flashlights to capture zeros let's go stupid well they're actually trained those flashlights actually have electricity captain all right but be sure to swing the block back into position behind you you don't want anyone to spot the opening while we're inside but no they're worried about being spotted they materialize on the side of the pyramid with huge flashlights close the door tetro [Music] yo brenner's not gonna like it yeah and as i looked up i saw the block to th
