  Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And tonight, we're going to jump back into the vault
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and see what suggestions you have for us today.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Um, hi.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm Allie.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I've asked for an episode before, but this time it's
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: not a spaceship episode. It's, um, A blobby episode, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: this time you have to take him to swimming class.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I love you, podcast. Goodbye.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Well, Allie, I think I can make that happen. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: just had to think about why a blobby, shape-shifting blob,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that is to say, would go to a swimming lesson.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And then my mind went a little wild, and yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this is what I came up with, so I really
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it. If you like the podcast, well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I think you know what to do. You know, you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: can leave us a review. You can share with a friend.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You can support us financially on Patreon if you feel
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like doing that. Or you can just kind of deal
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: with the ads we have to put on the podcast
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to make it financially viable. The, you know, the free
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: version anyways. Now it's time to get as comfy as
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you can in that bed, close your eyes, and imagine
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: yourself doing what the kid in the story does. Imagine
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: yourself opening your eyes. Sunlight streams in through your window.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You stretch your arms above your head and let out
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a gigantic yawn. Then you roll over. And that's when
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you notice something moving beside your bed. A little blue puppy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: It has floppy ears, four tiny paws, and a tail
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's wagging so quickly you can barely see it. Blobby?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The puppy looks up at you, then suddenly it leaps
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: onto your bed. Before you can do anything, it begins
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: licking your face. Oh, Blobby, stop! You try to push
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: him away, but he's already climbing onto your chest and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: licking your nose. Okay, okay. Good morning to you, too.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Blobby finally stops. He sits down on your stomach and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: tilts his head to the side. Then his tail starts
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: wagging again. Come on, let's go get some breakfast. You
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: climb out of bed and Blobby immediately jumps down beside you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The two of you make your way to the kitchen.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: When you reach the kitchen, you notice that breakfast has
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: already been prepared. Sitting beside it is a little note.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You pick it up and read. Had an early morning meeting.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to go to the swimming lessons today. We'll
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: meet you at home afterwards. Oh, right. Swimming lessons. You
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: place the note back on the table and begin eating
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: your breakfast. Blobby, meanwhile, is climbed onto the chair beside you.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He looks at the note. Then at you. Then back
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: at the note. His little puppy ears droop. His eyes
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: grow enormous. And he gives you the saddest puppy dog
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: expression you've ever seen. One that only a shape-shifting puppy
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: could actually give. Blobby? You stop eating. Oh no. Blobby
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: tilts his head. Blobby? You want to come to swimming lessons?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: His tail begins wagging furiously. Yeah, I don't think that's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a good idea. People might notice a gigantic blue blob
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: jumping into the swimming pool, you know. Blobby considers this.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Then he suddenly melts. His four legs disappear, his body
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: stretches outward, a tail sprouts from one end, fins appear
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: along his side, and within a few seconds, there's a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: bright blue fish flopping around on the kitchen floor. You
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: stare at him. Blobby, swimming lessons are for people, not fish. Fish,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I think, just naturally know how to swim. Blobby stops flopping.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Two little eyes look up at you. Then, his body
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: begins to change again. The fins disappear, his tail retracts,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: two long legs stretch out underneath him, followed by two arms.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: His body grows taller and taller, until you're looking at
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: something that's approximately your height. It has two arms, two legs,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a head, and, rather conveniently, a bathing suit and rash guard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: There's just one problem. He's still completely blue. You look
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: him up and down. Well, that's actually pretty good, except
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: people aren't normally blue. Blobby looks down at himself. His
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: skin begins changing color. The blue slowly fades away, replaced
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: by a color that perfectly matches your own skin. He
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: looks up at you again. That's better, but you narrow
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: your eyes. Something still isn't quite right. Blobby's head tilts.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, something about you looks... It just looks weird.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You walk around him. His arms look fine. His legs
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: look fine. His face is definitely a face. Although it's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a very smooth face. And that's when you realize something.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Hair.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You don't have any hair. Blobby immediately grows some. A
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: little patch appears on the top of his head and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: then stretches into something resembling your own hairstyle. He looks
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: at you, hopefully. You look back. Huh. You walk around
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: him again. I mean, that's definitely better, but you still
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: look kind of strange for some reason. And he does.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Because for some reason his entire body looks a little
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: too smooth or perfect or something. Almost like somebody took
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a perfectly normal person and made them out of modeling clay. Really,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: really smooth modeling clay. You scratch your head. I don't know.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Then an idea occurs to you. Wait here. You run
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: upstairs and grab a swimming cap and a pair of goggles.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Then hurry back down. Alright, try putting these on. You
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: stretch the swimming cap over Blobby's head, covering up his
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: strange hair. Then, you carefully place the goggles over his eyes.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You step back. Huh, you know what? That's actually not bad.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: With the swimming cap covering his hair and the goggles
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: hiding much of his face, Blobby looks reasonably human. At
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: least reasonably enough that no one would be rude enough
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to question it. Okay, you can come, but keep those
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: goggles on and remember not to talk. Blobby tilts his head.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Most kids know how to speak English, Blobby. You can't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just walk around saying, Blobby, all the time. Blobby, he answers,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and you stare at him. He nods enthusiastically. Okay, I'm
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: going to assume that means you understand. You quickly finish
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: your breakfast, run upstairs, change into your own swimming clothes,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: grab your goggles, and return to the kitchen. Okay, let's go.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You and Blobby head out the front door, and that's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: when you check the time. Oh no, you're almost late.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Swimming lessons start in just a few minutes and You
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: still have to get all the way across town. You
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: look at Blobby. Blobby looks at you. Then he reaches
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: up and removes his goggles. He pulls off his swimming
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: cap and hands both of them to you. His skin
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: turns blue. His arms stretch outward. His body begins growing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and growing. Four enormous legs appear beneath him. A long
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: neck rises from his shoulders, two wings unfold from his back,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and within seconds, a sleek blue dragon, slightly larger than
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a horse, is standing on your front lawn. you look
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: around frantically nobody seems to be watching at least okay
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: i guess that works blobby lowers himself toward the ground
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: when you climb onto his back and grab a hold
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of his neck He leaps into the air, spreading his
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: wings wide. With a powerful flap, the two of you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: rise above the houses. All right, Blobby. I think the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: swimming pool's that way. You point ahead and Blobby simply nods.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You fly over the city, watching cars move along the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: roads beneath you. And before long, You spot the swimming pool. There,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that's it. Blobby circles around the building. You look for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: somewhere to land. There's a little wooded area beside the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: pool with a large tree and some thick bushes around it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Over there. Blobby folds his wings and dives. You duck
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: your head as the two of you swoop down behind
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the bushes. He lands with a soft thump. You quickly
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: climb off. Okay, human again. Quickly. Blobby shrinks. His wings disappear.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: His legs straighten. His body returns to its human shape.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Only this time something rather interesting happens. A swimming cap
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: appears directly on his head. Then a pair of goggles
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: forms around his eyes. You look at the original cap
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and goggles in your hands. Then back at Blobby. Guess
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you won't be needing these. You stuff them into your
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: bag and lead them from behind the bushes. The two
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of you walk towards the building. Or at least you walk.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Blobby sort of moves. His knees bend a little bit strangely.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: His feet occasionally slap against the pavement. He's walking, but
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it certainly looks like it's the first time he's ever
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: done it. Alright, buddy, just one foot at a time.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, just like me.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Blobby watches carefully and tries to mimic you the best
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: he can. You enter the building and head towards the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: changing area. show Blobby how to shower off before entering
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the pool. He stands underneath the water, looks up, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: opens his mouth and starts drinking it. Blobby, you're supposed
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to shower, not drink it. He closes his mouth. You
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: finish showering and make your way into the large indoor pool.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The smell of chlorine fills the air. Water splashes against
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the edges and children are already climbing into the shallow
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: end and lifeguards are standing around the pool watching everyone
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you make your way towards the bench where you normally
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: meet your instructor blobby sits beside you his legs are
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: perfectly straight his arms are perfectly straight he honestly looks
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: like a mannequin somebody has propped up against the wall
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: relax a little bit buddy look at me you whisper.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Blobby immediately bends his arms and legs. That's better, I guess,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: though it still looks unnatural and weird somehow. A few
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: minutes later, a man wearing a red lifeguard shirt approaches
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: your group. Alright everyone, for those of you who weren't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: here last time, my name is Todd and I'll be
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: teaching you today. Todd smiles. Today, we're gonna work our
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: front crawl, alright? And it's gonna be awesome. He leads
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: everyone into the shallow end. You climb down the steps.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Blobby follows. The moment his feet touch the water, he
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: looks absolutely delighted. You give him a warning look, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he immediately straightens his face. Todd climbs into the pool.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Alright everyone, watch carefully. He pushes himself away from the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: wall and demonstrates the front crawl. One arm reaching forward,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: then the other, his legs kicking steadily behind him as
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he turns his head to breathe. He swims halfway across
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the pool before stopping. Alright, I'm going to call you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: over one at a time. Swim towards me and then
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I'll send you back. He calls your name. You push
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: away from the wall. You stretch your arms forward and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: begin swimming. One arm, then the other. Kick, kick, kick.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: You turn your head to take a breath and before
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: too long, you reach Todd. Great job, nice work. Now
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: turn around and head back. You do exactly that, until
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you make your way back to the others in the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: shallow end. Alright, next up, Todd points towards Blobby. Blobby
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: looks up at you. You give him a thumbs up.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He steps forward and slides deeper into the water. Immediately,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: he begins doing something that can only barely be described
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: as swimming. His arms flop around, grabbing the water and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: pulling himself forward. His legs kick, but he looks more
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: like somebody drowning than swimming. Somehow, despite all of that,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: he slowly makes his way towards Todd. The other kids
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: begin chuckling. What is he doing? Does he even know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: how to swim? Look at his legs! Blobby finally reaches Todd,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and Todd looks rather confused. Well, okay, you've definitely got
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: some things to work on. Maybe you're in the wrong level.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Why don't you turn yourself around and head back? Blobby does,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and then awkwardly splashes his way back toward you. When
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: he reaches the wall... You pat him on the shoulder
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and tell him, good job, buddy. You can hear the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: other kids whispering. Blobby looks down sadly. His shoulders droop.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, buddy, you whisper. You're just learning.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: That's what swimming lessons are for. Blobby looks at you. Blobby,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: he says quietly. And there's something rather interesting about the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: way he says it. almost as though he's saying, Oh,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you think I can't swim? Before you can stop him,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Blobby dives back into the pool. His body stretches, his
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: legs disappear, a large fin bursts from his back, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a powerful tail grows behind him. And suddenly... a gigantic
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: blue shark blasts forward through the water. You stare. Oh no.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The shark shoots across the pool, back and forth, around
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and around. Its enormous tail propels it through the water
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: at incredible speed. And of course, Blobby looks absolutely delighted
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: with himself. Unfortunately, Nobody else seems quite as delighted. Shark!
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Someone screams. A lifeguard blows a whistle. Then another and another.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Everybody out of the pool! Within seconds, the entire swimming
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: pool erupts into chaos. Kids scramble toward the ladders. People
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: splash through the water. Someone drops their goggles. Todd immediately
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: starts helping everyone out. You climb onto the pool deck
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: along with the other kids. Then, you turn around. Blobby
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is still swimming happily around the pool. Oh, Blobby, you mutter.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: How did a shark get in there? Someone yells. Is
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this even possible? Why is it blue? You look at
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the lifeguards. You look at the shark, then back at
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the lifeguards. There's really only one thing you can think of.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible plan. An absolutely ridiculous plan, but it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the only one you've got. You jump into the pool. No!
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Todd screams. What are you doing? That's a shark! You
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: swim toward Blobby and grab a hold of its back.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: He immediately begins pulling you around the pool. You lean
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: down and whisper into what you assume is his ear.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Okay Blobby, there's only one way out of this. I'm
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: going to pretend to knock you out. You just have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to go along with it. Then I'll carry you out
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of the pool, and hopefully, if we do it quickly enough,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: nobody will ask any questions. Blobby? He answers. You take
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that as a yes. You pull yourself further onto his
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: back and wrap your arms around him. Then you shout
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: as loudly as you can. Don't. Worry everyone. The people
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: around the pool stop screaming. Well, most of them. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: come from a family of shark tamers. Todd stares at you. What?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I know a secret way to put sharks to sleep.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You reach around Blobby's body. You just have to grab
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: them like this. You tighten your grip, and then you
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: hit the special pressure point. You poke Blobby on the side. Now,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you whisper. Blobby immediately begins convulsing. His tail flaps wildly.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: His entire body shakes violently. He rolls onto his side,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: splashes around, and begins performing what might be the most
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: dramatic death or falling asleep scene you've ever witnessed. Just
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: imagine a seven-year-old pretending to die in a school play.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: One who really, really wants everyone to pay attention to them.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: That's basically what Blobby's doing. He flops, he shakes, he
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: rolls over, he flops again. You climb off and watch. Okay, Blobby,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you whisper. That's probably enough. He gives one final enormous
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: flap of his tail, then stops, completely motionless, floating on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the surface. You look up at everyone. See? Nobody says anything.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: You quickly grab Blobby, lift him onto your shoulder, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: begin carrying him toward the pool steps. Now, carrying a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: shark out of a swimming pool is not normally something
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a kid should be able to do, but Blobby is
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: conveniently making himself rather light. Perhaps hollow in the middle
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: or something. You climb up the steps and start running.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Todd finally seems to find his voice.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Wait!
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Wait! What are you doing? Taking them away, you say?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Animal control can get that. Don't worry, I've got it. Remember?
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Shark tamers. You hurry toward the exit. Behind you, Todd
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: is still shouting something about sharks, safety, and how none
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of this makes any sense. You don't stick around to explain.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You run straight over to the building. and head towards
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the little wooded area behind the pool. Once you're safely
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: hidden among the trees, you drop Blobby onto the ground. Okay, quickly,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: turn into something that can get us out of here
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: or something. Blobby begins to change. His shark tail stretches,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: his fins disappear, his body grows longer and longer. until
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he's transformed into a gigantic, sleek, and blue Chinese dragon.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Four little legs hang beneath his enormous snake-like body, long
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: whiskers extend from his face, and somehow he's floating in
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the air. Without wings, you stare at him.' Ah, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: guess that works.' Blobby lowers himself and you leap on
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: his back.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Go!
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: He blasts out of the trees, straight up into the sky.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You cling to his back as the swimming pool disappears
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: beneath you. Within only a few minutes, you're flying over
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: your own neighborhood. Blobby descends behind your house and lands.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: His long dragon body shrinks. His legs change, his whiskers disappear,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and within seconds, he's once again a little blue puppy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: He looks up at you. His tail wags. You just
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: stare at him. You know, I don't think we're going
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to be allowed back at swimming lessons. Blobby, he says. Yeah, exactly.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: You head inside and find that the television is actually on.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And as you walk into the living room, you hear
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: something rather interesting. We interrupt our regular programming with a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: rather unusual report from a local swimming pool. You stop. Hopefully,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: they're talking about another swimming pool. You look at the screen.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and you see a picture of the exact pool you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: just left.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Oh no.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Earlier today, swimming lessons were interrupted when a mysterious blue
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: shark was spotted swimming in the facility. Witnesses claim that
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: an unidentified child, reportedly from a family of shark tamers,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: jumped into the pool and used some sort of secret
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: pressure point technique to render the animal... Unconscious, you stare
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: at the television. The child then allegedly carried the shark
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: out of the building before disappearing into a nearby wooded area.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Officials are still looking into these, well, rather unusual claims.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: You slap your palm against your forehead. Oh, Blobby. Blobby
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: just looks at you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Then.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: gives you an enormous puppy smile. You sigh and lie
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: down on the couch. What a day. Blobby, back in
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: his tiny little dog form, jumps up beside you. His
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: blue fur grows longer and softer and fluffier until he's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: transformed into an incredibly fluffy dog. He crawls onto your
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: lap turns around a few times, and lies down. You
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: run your hand through his soft fur, and Blobby lets
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: out a long, satisfied sigh. You do too. Then you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: feel your eyes starting to grow heavy. Your entire body
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: begins to just sort of relax. You slowly close your eyes...
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Take in a deep breath and slowly let it out.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: You sink down into the couch, rest your head on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the nice soft pillow, and with every breath, you sink
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: down a little bit deeper. Your arms and legs sink
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: into the mattress. Your shoulders and neck relax. And with
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: each breath, you drift off a little bit more to
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: thoughts of new dreams, new adventures, and new blobby transformations
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to come. Good night, everyone.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. you Thank you.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: you Thank you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. you Thank you. Thank you. Let's pray.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
