Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I'm Martin and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories tonight.
- 0:13Speaker 1: I've decided to do a story that I've honestly gone
- 0:16Speaker 1: back and forth on wondering if if it's a good
- 0:20Speaker 1: idea to do this particular topic or not. But I
- 0:23Speaker 1: decided honestly it's kind of funny, so I think I'm
- 0:27Speaker 1: gonna do it. Let's check out the story suggestion.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Okay, so we would like to request a story about
- 0:34Speaker 2: this girl named Sully and she has this she's kind
- 0:38Speaker 2: of weird because she was born with these super farts.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And she meets this elemental dragon named Avitt and he
- 0:49Speaker 2: and he shoots whats out of his tail and he
- 0:54Speaker 2: shoots thia out of his mouth, so he's a half
- 0:59Speaker 2: spider man.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Bye.
- 1:01Speaker 2: We love your story. Bye, we love Yestery.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Now that was from Sullivan and Avid and I think
- 1:09Speaker 1: despite parents maybe getting mad at me for doing this one,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I'm going to do it anyways. And parents, if you'd
- 1:15Speaker 1: like to complain about the podcast, you can always write
- 1:17Speaker 1: to me at dad Top Bedtime Stories at gmail dot com.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I'd love to know what you're thinking about this particular topic.
- 1:24Speaker 1: On this particular podcast. Before we get started, I want
- 1:27Speaker 1: to give a couple shout outs to some of my
- 1:29Speaker 1: newest Patreon sponsors. First of all, thank you to JD
- 1:34Speaker 1: and Zeke. JD did the sound Wolf idea and Zeke
- 1:40Speaker 1: did the Marble Run Planet idea in the past, and
- 1:43Speaker 1: they recently just sponsored me on Patreon, so I really
- 1:46Speaker 1: appreciate that very much. Also, I want to give a
- 1:49Speaker 1: big shout out to Emory and Eleanor from Eugene, Oregon
- 1:54Speaker 1: who joined Patreon recently as well and sponsored the pod cast. Again,
- 2:01Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. We don't get a ton of
- 2:03Speaker 1: sponsors on the podcast very easily, or maybe you're listening
- 2:07Speaker 1: to us in the future and we do. I have
- 2:09Speaker 1: no idea, but I really appreciate every Patreon sponsorship. You
- 2:14Speaker 1: keep the lights on here and the Dad's Bedtime Studios,
- 2:19Speaker 1: which is my basement. Now it's time to close your eyes,
- 2:24Speaker 1: get as comfy as you can in that bed, and
- 2:27Speaker 1: imagine yourself doing what the kid in the story does.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Oh and again, parents, if you're not okay with a
- 2:36Speaker 1: story about superpowered ability to pass gas, you should probably
- 2:41Speaker 1: go to a different episode. Sully had been counting down
- 2:46Speaker 1: the days to her tenth birthday. For years in her family,
- 2:51Speaker 1: powers didn't show up slowly. They didn't trickle in or
- 2:56Speaker 1: whisper their arrival. They exploded. Her dad's powers had first
- 3:01Speaker 1: appeared when he sneezed and accidentally punched a hole through
- 3:05Speaker 1: the roof. He'd immediately floated upward in shock, hovering thirty
- 3:09Speaker 1: feet above the house while apologizing to the neighbors. Her
- 3:14Speaker 1: mum's powers had arrived during a thunderstorm. She'd panicked at
- 3:19Speaker 1: the lightning, and suddenly a glowing dome of pure force
- 3:23Speaker 1: field energy had formed around the entire house. It stayed
- 3:28Speaker 1: up for three hours because she didn't know how to
- 3:30Speaker 1: turn it off. Her older brother, Max had discovered his
- 3:35Speaker 1: speed when he tried to run away from a bee.
- 3:38Speaker 1: He'd blinked and found himself three blocks away holding someone
- 3:42Speaker 1: else's lemonade. So yes, Sully had expectations. On the morning
- 3:50Speaker 1: of her birthday, the back yard was transformed into a
- 3:54Speaker 1: superhero festival. Streamers hung from trees, balloons fled loaded in
- 4:00Speaker 1: perfectly arranged clusters thanks to her mum's floating force field strings.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Her dad had set up a strength test booth where
- 4:08Speaker 1: kids could try lifting a foam boulder mag zoomed around,
- 4:13Speaker 1: delivering snacks before anyone realized they were hungry. Sully stood
- 4:19Speaker 1: in front of her cake. Ten candles flickered in the sunshine.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Her heart pounded. She closed her eyes. Please be something cool,
- 4:30Speaker 1: something epic, something I could show off, she said, hoping
- 4:35Speaker 1: for the coolest superpower she could get. She blew and
- 4:41Speaker 1: the candles went out. Everyone cheered, and then her stomach tightened.
- 4:49Speaker 1: A bubbling sensation formed deep in her belly. Not sparkles,
- 4:54Speaker 1: not electricity, just a sort of weird pressure. Oh no,
- 5:02Speaker 1: she whispered. She tried to stand still, but the pressure
- 5:07Speaker 1: grew stronger. Maybe just a little, she thought, desperately. We're outside,
- 5:14Speaker 1: Hopefully nobody'll notice. She shifted slightly and released what came
- 5:21Speaker 1: out sounded like a jet engine. Waking up, Sully shot
- 5:28Speaker 1: fifteen feet straight into the air. Plates scattered, balloons popped
- 5:34Speaker 1: as she drifted sideways. I can't stop it, she screamed,
- 5:39Speaker 1: as a seady stream of rocket forced gas kept her
- 5:43Speaker 1: suspended above her own birthday party. Her dad flew up, calmly, okay, Sully, breathe,
- 5:52Speaker 1: you're activating it. That means you can deactivate it. I
- 5:58Speaker 1: don't know how, Sully re responded, slower breathing. Think of
- 6:04Speaker 1: it like tightening a valve. She squeezed her eyes shut inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.
- 6:15Speaker 1: She relaxed her muscles, and the blast began to weaken.
- 6:26Speaker 1: She drifted down. Silence filled the yard. Then a kid shouted,
- 6:33Speaker 1: Sally has silper farts. That's the worst power ever. A
- 6:38Speaker 1: few snickers followed. Her chest tightened, she landed, and she
- 6:44Speaker 1: ran through the gate into the forest. She didn't stop
- 6:49Speaker 1: until the sound of the party disappeared. She collapsed near
- 6:54Speaker 1: a cluster of rocks and buried her face in her arms.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Of all the powers, of all the cool things she
- 7:01Speaker 1: could have gotten, she got that. That's when she heard sniffling.
- 7:08Speaker 1: She looked up and spotted a small green dragon curled
- 7:13Speaker 1: beside the rocks, his wings wrapped around himself webs. He
- 7:19Speaker 1: groaned miserably.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I shoot webs. What kind of a dragon shoots webs?
- 7:26Speaker 3: I should command lightning or move mountains, but now I
- 7:32Speaker 3: am a sticky tail spider dragon.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Sully blinked through her tears. You shoot webs, she asked.
- 7:42Speaker 1: The dragon jumped you.
- 7:45Speaker 3: You saw nothing.
- 7:47Speaker 1: It's okay, she sniffed, I have super farts. The dragon paused,
- 7:54Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. They stared at each other, then both of
- 8:01Speaker 1: them burst out laughing. His name was Avit. He discovered
- 8:06Speaker 1: his web shooting tail that morning and fled his dragon
- 8:10Speaker 1: clan in embarrassment. I was supposed to be elemental, he said, gloomily. Instead,
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm adhesive. Can you still breathe fire, Sullie asked. He
- 8:26Speaker 1: nodded and released a respectable burst of flame. That's awesome,
- 8:32Speaker 1: she said, honestly, it is not. It is, and webs
- 8:37Speaker 1: aren't useless. Show me reluctantly, he shot a strand at
- 8:43Speaker 1: a tree. It stuck instantly. Again, Sully encouraged. Soon he
- 8:50Speaker 1: was layering webs between trees. They tested strength, they tested stretch.
- 8:56Speaker 1: They made a net and dropped pine cones into it.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Avid's eyes slowly widened. Then Sully said, try swinging what
- 9:09Speaker 1: you know, like shoot a web up into the trees
- 9:12Speaker 1: and then swing from it like Tarzian or whatever. So
- 9:17Speaker 1: Sully shot a strand higher and cautiously leapt, holding on
- 9:23Speaker 1: to it with his arms. He swung wildly and shrieked,
- 9:28Speaker 1: Then he laughed. Within minutes he was webb, slinging from
- 9:33Speaker 1: tree to tree. This is incredible, he yelled, told you.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Then Avid landed beside her. Well, now it's your turn.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Sully hesitated. Then she focused. A small blast lifted her
- 9:53Speaker 1: three feet up in the air. She adjusted, another burst
- 9:58Speaker 1: angled her forward. She practiced hovering there with the constant
- 10:03Speaker 1: stream of gas. She learns to point it straight down
- 10:07Speaker 1: to get her to hover in the air, and off
- 10:10Speaker 1: to one side or the other to help her steer.
- 10:13Speaker 1: After several attempts and one accidental sideways spin into a bush,
- 10:18Speaker 1: she was actually able to stabilize herself. She hovered above
- 10:23Speaker 1: the forest floor, grinning. See Avid said, flight sort of,
- 10:32Speaker 1: she admitted. They practiced for nearly an hour. Then Avid
- 10:37Speaker 1: tilted his head thoughtfully. You know you're always using the
- 10:43Speaker 1: back end. Sully frowned. That's where it comes from. But
- 10:50Speaker 1: what if it's just gas control, not just farts? She blinked,
- 10:57Speaker 1: What are you suggesting? He shrugged. Have you tried burping?
- 11:05Speaker 1: She stared, that's disgusting, She said, you, uh, just flew
- 11:12Speaker 1: in the air using your bum That's a fair point,
- 11:18Speaker 1: she said, So she concentrated. She summoned the same pressure feeling,
- 11:25Speaker 1: but this time She tried to do it higher up
- 11:28Speaker 1: in her chest. She forced out a small burp, and
- 11:33Speaker 1: it echoed louder than expected. The shockwave knocked David backward
- 11:39Speaker 1: into a pile of leaves. They froze. David slowly sat up.
- 11:46Speaker 1: That was amazing, he said. Sally's eyes widened. She tried
- 11:53Speaker 1: again burn, this time a visible ripple of force outward.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Avid braced himself and slid backward, front facing propulsion. He declared,
- 12:09Speaker 1: way easier to aid. They experimented short burbs for quick shoves,
- 12:16Speaker 1: longer urbs for blast waves. Soon Sally was standing her
- 12:21Speaker 1: ground while sending Avid flying across the clearing. He retaliated
- 12:26Speaker 1: by webbing her boots to a tree. They both laughed
- 12:30Speaker 1: so hard they fell over. Then Avid grew thoughtful again.
- 12:37Speaker 1: What if you could control the type of gas, he asked. Explain?
- 12:46Speaker 1: She said, well, you know, smell, density, flammability. That sounds dangerous.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Well maybe we should just try smell first. Avid said so,
- 13:03Speaker 1: against her better judgment, Sully concentrated on the worst odor
- 13:08Speaker 1: she could imagine. She released a tiny puff. It drifted
- 13:13Speaker 1: towards Aviot. He sniffed, His eyes crossed, and he collapsed instantly.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Avid she shook him awake. He groaned back to life
- 13:27Speaker 1: sleeping gas. He whispered in awe, you made sleeping gas.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Sully blinked. They tested again, carefully. This time she adjusted
- 13:42Speaker 1: the concentration. She was hoping to make it flammable more
- 13:49Speaker 1: methaney easier to catch on fire. Avid gave a tiny
- 13:54Speaker 1: spark from his fire breath, and boom, a control old
- 14:00Speaker 1: fireball burst above them. They stared at each other, then
- 14:06Speaker 1: they once again burst into laughter. By sunset, Sully could
- 14:12Speaker 1: hover with controlled bursts of toots, propel other things forward
- 14:18Speaker 1: with superburps, produce an incredibly smelly sleeping gas, and ignite
- 14:27Speaker 1: small flame bursts. Her embarrassment had shrunk into something else, possibility.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Do you want to come home with me, she asked David.
- 14:40Speaker 1: He hesitated, Hugh, I'm not really ready to face my clan.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Then you can stay with us, she said. He agreed,
- 14:51Speaker 1: and they walked back together. He was just a little dragon,
- 14:56Speaker 1: too small to ride at this point. When they arrived
- 15:01Speaker 1: back in Sully's back yard, her mum cried out and
- 15:05Speaker 1: pulled her into a hug. Sully, I was so worried,
- 15:10Speaker 1: she said. Her dad just looked relieved. We were worried.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's o k, Sully said, confidently. Watch this. She lifted
- 15:22Speaker 1: gently into the air, demonstrating her ability to hover using
- 15:27Speaker 1: a superpowered blast of gas from her rear end. Then
- 15:33Speaker 1: she burped so loudly she blew over all of the
- 15:37Speaker 1: chairs around the table. Oh my gosh, that is so cool, Sully. Wow,
- 15:43Speaker 1: show me more, her brother Max said, zipping from place
- 15:47Speaker 1: to place. So she unleashed a small puff of the
- 15:52Speaker 1: silent but deadly type, and her brother instantly fell asleep.
- 16:00Speaker 1: As a finale, she walked over to the barbecue, grabbed
- 16:04Speaker 1: the barbecue lighter, ordered her family to stand back and
- 16:09Speaker 1: release a stream of well, highly flammable gas. She sparked
- 16:15Speaker 1: the lighter and a controlled flame burst upward like a
- 16:20Speaker 1: miniature rocket. Her parents stared, grossed out, but also kind
- 16:26Speaker 1: of impressed. Her dad crossed his arms. Well that's certainly something,
- 16:35Speaker 1: her mom nodded slowly. It's really versatile, dear Sully just grinned.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Can Avid stay with us? Avid stood awkwardly behind her.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Her parents exchanged a look. Well, uh, of course, if
- 16:54Speaker 1: he's a friend of yours, he's a friend of ours.
- 16:58Speaker 1: He can sleep on the floor in your bedroom at
- 17:02Speaker 1: least Tillie gets bigger, her dad said. That night, as
- 17:08Speaker 1: the two of them slept, there was a crash, glass
- 17:13Speaker 1: shattering downstairs. Sully and Avid both bolted upright another crash.
- 17:22Speaker 1: She put her hand up to her lips, gesturing for
- 17:26Speaker 1: Avid to be quiet. Then she crept down the hallway.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Avid followed as quietly as he could. They snuck down
- 17:37Speaker 1: the stairwell and over towards the living room. As they
- 17:42Speaker 1: peeked around the corner, they saw her family tied up
- 17:48Speaker 1: with reinforced cables. Four villains stood in the wrecked living room.
- 17:55Speaker 1: She wasn't completely surprised, as things like this happened from
- 18:00Speaker 1: time to time when you were in a family full
- 18:02Speaker 1: of superheroes. One of them was a toad like creature,
- 18:07Speaker 1: a humanoid toad that looked kind of disgusting. Then there
- 18:12Speaker 1: was a hulking strong man that looked like he could
- 18:15Speaker 1: lift a house above his head. Beside him was a
- 18:19Speaker 1: woman that looked like she was made of stone, and
- 18:23Speaker 1: beside her was a massive headed figure in a mechanical suit.
- 18:30Speaker 1: He was pretty clearly some sort of super genius that
- 18:34Speaker 1: had built himself a high tech outfit. What about the
- 18:39Speaker 1: girl the rock woman asked, the super brain tap a
- 18:43Speaker 1: holographic display. My intelligence confirms that her only power seems
- 18:50Speaker 1: to be super farts. That must be a minimal threat.
- 18:55Speaker 1: We can go get her next. Sully stepped forward. You
- 19:01Speaker 1: should update your files, she said. All heads turned to
- 19:06Speaker 1: her and the little fire breathing spider dragon standing beside her.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Avitt launched first webbs shot across the room, pinning the
- 19:18Speaker 1: toad to the ceiling. The strong man charged, Sully planted
- 19:23Speaker 1: her feet and unleashed a massive burp. The power of
- 19:28Speaker 1: the gas and the shock wave sent the man flying
- 19:32Speaker 1: across the room and straight into the drywall. The rock
- 19:37Speaker 1: woman unleashed a blast of rock the trapped Sully's feet
- 19:42Speaker 1: to the ground, and the super brainiac looking dude unleashed
- 19:48Speaker 1: a rope that shot out of his suit and wrapped
- 19:51Speaker 1: around the dragon. As I thought, primitive gas based propulsion.
- 19:58Speaker 1: The man sneered, and then Sully smirked. Avid holed your breath,
- 20:06Speaker 1: she said. He inhaled deeply and closed his mouth and
- 20:11Speaker 1: nose as much as he possibly could. Sully focused inward
- 20:17Speaker 1: and transformed the gas into the smelliest, most sleep inducing
- 20:24Speaker 1: type she possibly could, and in a silent but deadly attack.
- 20:30Speaker 1: She released it all the rock woman staggered. The super
- 20:36Speaker 1: Brain tried sealing his helmet, but it was too late.
- 20:40Speaker 1: They both collapsed onto the floor. Sully then used a
- 20:46Speaker 1: controlled burp to break her feet free and went and
- 20:50Speaker 1: untied Avid, who quickly webbed all the remaining villains in
- 20:55Speaker 1: case they woke up. Sully then untied her family. Her
- 21:00Speaker 1: dad stood slowly staring at the scene. Her mum blinked
- 21:05Speaker 1: at the web covered criminals, and Max grinned, you saved us,
- 21:13Speaker 1: her father said. Sully just shrugged. Her dad laughed, her
- 21:20Speaker 1: mum hugged her maave it puffed his chest. She is
- 21:25Speaker 1: highly effective, he said. Police sirens wailed outside, and Sully
- 21:31Speaker 1: stood in the wrecked living room, surrounded by defeated villains
- 21:36Speaker 1: and amazed family members. Her power was weird, ridiculous, absurd,
- 21:44Speaker 1: but it flew, it blasted, it put enemies to sleep,
- 21:49Speaker 1: and it even ignited a move she had thoughtfully not
- 21:54Speaker 1: used inside her house. Max nudged her, I don't think
- 21:59Speaker 1: super far it's really covered anymore, he said. Sully crossed
- 22:03Speaker 1: her arms thoughtfully. I think we should probably call you
- 22:06Speaker 1: something else, like the gas Master. Her mother winced. We'll
- 22:13Speaker 1: keep brainstorming deer. Avid grinned. Whatever the name, it's powerful,
- 22:21Speaker 1: Sully smiled. Earlier that day she'd run into the forest ashamed.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Now she stood in the center of a victory, and
- 22:31Speaker 1: deep in her chest she felt a small rumble. She
- 22:37Speaker 1: grinned confidently, this time she added completely under control. When
- 22:45Speaker 1: the police were done arresting the criminals and her parents
- 22:48Speaker 1: had done their best job of cleaning up, she and
- 22:52Speaker 1: Avid went back to bed. She pulled the covers up
- 22:57Speaker 1: to her chin, closed her eyes, and just began to breathe.
- 23:05Speaker 1: With each breath, she relaxed the muscles in her arms
- 23:10Speaker 1: and legs a little bit more, and she began to
- 23:15Speaker 1: sink down into the bed. The deeper she breathed, the
- 23:22Speaker 1: deeper she sank, and the deeper she sank, the better
- 23:28Speaker 1: she felt. Until she felt as if she were floating
- 23:33Speaker 1: on a cloud, and her mind began to wander off
- 23:39Speaker 1: to thoughts of new dreams, new adventures, and new interesting
- 23:46Speaker 1: uses of her gas based powers. To come good night.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Everyone, um.
- 26:44Speaker 5: On the name name m M.
- 33:46Speaker 4: M never.
