Fetchers man I have recently found out

without getting your approval first but

um well anyway I have a new assistant

strictly temporary nam's Chet Jad where

anyway turns out there are a lot of

animals out there who need help some of

them who need homes wanted to work here

but I don't even know if I can handle

Jet and that brings us to challenge

number one yeah a PSA what's that Sam

Sammy you're going to find out look for

my friend Jay at the Animal Rescue

League your instructions are in the

mailbox so go fetch let's get

them see you guys later good

[Music]

luck all righty I've been trying to

build something today the way it's going

it just might be impossible but is The

Impossible going to stop Noel and J I

hope not cuz it's Challenge number

two this is my buddy Brian you'll be

meeting him at a construction site so

your hard hats and tool belt are in the

wagon and everything you need to know is

in that mailbox so go fetch all right

bye

guys don't forget your

equipment bye see you later bye-bye

happy

building as determined by the fetch 3000

DJ and Hara are staying behind in Studio

G but they'll be eligible to win points

during the halftime quiz show fetch

operates on the fetch fairness guarantee

all the contestants will have competed

for the same number of points by the

grand finale so for the four kids out on

the challenges up to 100 points are at

stake in the Triumph tally is a

successful challenge in the cards for

Jay and Noel let's find

out right here we go wow that's a big

building 24th floor right we need to

look for a sign sign there it is sign

with Brian hey and there's Brian I am

Brian I'm an architect and we're going

to build some buildings today today I'm

going to turn you guys into Pro card

stackers cards yes card stackers so I

hold the Guinness record for the world's

tallest house of cards which is 25 ft

High weighed 250 lb wow that's right

he's a world champion card stacker he

actually has the world record so just

give it a try and see how it looks like

Noel is building a little pyramid there

so you're going with the triangles

method that's what you're thinking is

the best idea well that's a logical

assumption because the triangle is

actually the strongest structural shape

in most cases but not in card stacking I

guess it's hard to stack cards when

they're slanted the first thing we need

to do is take a look out the window at

some real buildings to get an idea of

how things are done in the real world so

what do you guys notice they're made up

of squares and right angles so these

buildings are like lots of Cubes stacked

on top of each other okay so what do you

think about the building with a clock

Tower what do you notice about that one

well it's different from all the other

ones usually the older ones are like

small but that one's really tall it's

like almost as tall as the more Modern

Glass one well that's because that was

one of the first buildings in the city

to be built with a steel frame so tall

buildings have steel frames let's go

down and take a look at a real

construction site all right let's check

in with the PSA team chat I am trying to

do a show here thank you you are you Jay

I'm Jay welcome welc to the Animal

Rescue League of Boston ref send here to

make a PSA yeah we are claress though

what is a PSA a PSA is a public service

announcement it's like a commercial

except it's for a terrible organization

like the Animal Rescue League of Austin

we're going to use that PSA to tell a

lot of people about what we do so do you

know much about the Animal Rescue League

of Boston I I'm guessing they just help

animals in need yeah we have animals in

our shelters we rescue animals in

trouble we need to tell our story to a

lot of people people and that's why we

need this PSA the public service

announcement looks like we got to get S

on our PSA well listen before you go

Ruff left something for you ke thanks

for helping us out bye Chad what is

going on in there seriously what are

what are you doing here's my friend quad

hi I'm in charge of the field operation

here and uh watching all of these guys

helping uh helping build this building

wait wait wait a minute we need to stack

cards not build buildings what you're

looking at here is what we call uh

exoskeleton it's like the bones in your

body that's what really is supporting

the uh the building that's the grid that

withstands all the forces that people

and nature put on it can you uh talk to

us a bit about why they put concrete on

every floor the concrete we put on the

floor is not just because it's a hard

surface to to walk on that concrete when

it hardened actually acts as a diaphragm

a stiffener for that building so that's

all part of the structure of the

building so why are the beams shaped

like that we call it an I beam so what

is an ie beam if you look at the end of

it cut a slicer and look at the end of

the beam it looks like an eye and the

two outside flanges reinforce the web in

the middle and that the two faces

stiffen that Center section so that

everything is stiff and can withstand

the pressures that are put on it thank

you oh thank you so what does this

construction stuff have to do with the

car what's neat about this is that you

can really see how all these little

parts of a building go together in kind

of a a system that's very repetitive to

create a much larger thing and so that's

kind of the point of you seeing a real

building going up a lot of the way that

cards go together oh yes they're going

to use what they know about real

buildings to make a building out of

cards wow Chad's got a lot of stuff is

is that a ping pong table and a

Jacuzzi all right so let's figure out

these Keys maybe oh yep there you go we

got it hey Fetchers everything here is

fair game for you to use in your PSA go

find Debbie in the adoption center let's

go off to the adoption center and to

find Debbie

wow oh my gosh all right let's not spawn

over the cats so don't touch the lens

please isn't this cat so cute yes the

cat is adorable look how

cuddly what are these These are fets Hey

Brother doggy hey buddy how's it going

so cute are you they found Debbie

welcome to the animal shelter would you

like to meet one of the dogs I think

that's a great idea Toby is a

10-year-old Chihuahua he's actually you

would be able to use in your PSA if You'

like yes would you like to hold him sure

he's so cute he's good looking look how

cute he is where do all these animals

like come from we get animals for all

different reasons some animals are

turned in from their owners because

they're moving or they have allergies

some animals are brought here because

they're lost and some animals were

brought here because people weren't

being nice to them and they needed a

safe place to go until they found a new

home would you guys like to have a tour

of the shelter yeah def wow look at that

setup fet's got a hammock I want a

hammock so these are our

ferrets oh hey pardon you this is Satia

he's an angor

rabit he's very very soft feels like a

marshmallow and right around this way we

have kind of an unusual animal what is

it an elephant oh that's definitely a

corn snake a what a what would you like

a chance to hold him definitely no

thanks R isn't this awesome I hate

snakes I hate them all right we're back

at our construction site these are your

building materials we have observed the

construction of actual buildings now

Noel and Jay are going to make a house

of cards using lessons they learn from

that construction site you have to learn

to put these four cards up first so this

is the first cell and everybody that

wants to build a house of cards that's

going to last has to learn how to build

those without fail and the reason is is

because this card would like to bend

like this but it can't do it because

each card is reinforced by its neighbor

at its midpoint so like this card right

here now it has a neighbor on this side

forcing it to stay upright okay let me

try that yeah no maybe it's what nope so

let's try to build a bigger grid and see

what happens when we do that ched I'm

trying to build a structure here please

thank you oh wow okay I see an ie beam

like actually lots of them you're right

it's basically a bunch of interlocked

eye beams there see it looks just like

the grid oh I'm getting a phone call hey

batchers for your next challenge I need

you to build a card tower that's three

stories tall and not only that it also

has to support a statue of me holding my

marble collection that's 7 lb Al

together good luck it's kind of like

ugly is hi that's a trophy I won when I

learned to roll over which I now find

somewhat degrading actually let's get

started

okay okay here comes the

foundation is ner wracking I know I know

I know are you doing a lot better than

me so just put another card right there

and we're fine okay so they're building

their

walls okay one story done r one story

done oh oh no no no domino effect okay

just rebuild that side all right we only

lost a little bit so we're good there

looks like they're putting some cards on

top just like a roof looks good now they

repeat the same pattern on the second

level steady easy Noel breathe I got the

top off finish the top that is a pretty

big base it's a good idea see now the

weights spread out over more cards okay

yes okay looking good okay two floors

hey back in Studio G with DJ and Hara

getting ready to earn some points of

their own during the halftime quiz show

let us brush up on the rules 50 points

available you have 60 seconds to answer

as many questions as you can 10

questions available at Five Points a

piece are you ready we're ready then

let's go the name for a person who

builds buildings out of cards is a

architect incorrect what shape building

did Noel first try to make with the

cards triangle correct when the Fetchers

looked out the window they noticed what

shape in the buildings Square yes the

support column used in the real building

the Fetchers looked at is called a yes

what does PSA stand for public service

announc correct Jay and Noel's card

structure has to support what Marbles

and what on top of a statue of you

that's right what prevents the cards

from bending in Jay and Noel's card

structure oh there cards card reporting

it that's right the purpose of Sam and

Samy's PSA is to inform audiences about

the services of

the the rescue leag yes what is the name

of the dog Sam and Sammy are told they

can use Toby Toby yes and your time is

up let's go over the one you missed the

name for a person who builds buildings

out of cards is a card stacker card

stacker yes let's see what you got fetch

3,000 40 points respectable score nice

done both of you have Sam and Sammy

found an animal with movie star level

Charisma nonetheless they're using me

let's check back at the farm and find

out over here this is a drop net and

this is what we use to catch dogs that

have been out on the loose for a long

time and are afraid of people so here we

have our stuffed dog that we pretend

with and you want to make sure that you

use something that the dog likes today

we have dog food in there OHS tossing a

few egg rolls and you got a meal and

then it's possible to catch the dog

using the net

system M was that I know you under there

I see you sorry about that it scared me

so bad you're more than welcome to use

this for your PSA if you'd like yeah

it's great A lot of times cats get stuck

up in trees and so we use these ropes to

get the cat and bring the cat back down

oh that's Brian he's part of our Rescue

Team hey Brian this is where we practice

rescuing cats out of trees maybe you

guys can use it for your PSA yeah that'

be great that's a good idea so what's

the bag on your hip this is what we use

when we get up in the tree oh no to put

the cat in we want to make sure the

animal is nice and secure and safe

before we come back down this is our

animal ambulance and we use this to

bring animals that we've rescued back to

the shelter or to a veterinarian well

it's time for me to check out and thanks

for coming today and I can't wait to see

it thank you let's check back in with

our card stackers ah Chad could you not

do that

we're done they did it they built a

three story card tower but they're not

done yet and now it's time for the drop

dead gorgeous rough Ruffman statue hey

don't tape my mouth get down close oh

I'm so nervous don't think about what

you're doing just set it on there and

don't shift it around set it on there

set easy good job wa it holds but now

it's time for the

[Music]

marbles w

careful careful easy does

[Music]

it oh man look at that and it's holding

seven lbs oh but they're not done yet

congrats guys but the bad news is what I

have one more challenge for you come

with

me my tower is looking pretty good wait

check no

no do you even have a building permit no

I don't think so down possible locations

Sam and Sammy are coming up with

ideas wow people still use Polaroids let

me just write down what it is oh they're

taking pictures of the different

locations see that's smart hey can uh we

take some

pictures that was so unnecessary how

about the first shot we'll have somebody

like calling somebody else maybe and

then we can show do the ambulance going

by with the Sirens all right I like that

it's very common for these stuck around

any any animal's neck so I think the

phone call should be your cat got its

head stuck in that mhm and then it got

scared and it ran up the tree all right

open that up there now they're putting

the pictures in order to map out their

story maray why don't we do this and

then after that we can show the real cat

saying it's it got saved so all write

the end the end I love happy endings R

this is awesome dude cameraman Sam is

ready off they go director Sammy and

cameraman

Sam sweet biscuits chat please knock off

the hammering you cannot look one 2 3

W oh clock tower that looks just like

the clock tower but it's made of cards

yeah it's the custom very good that's

right it's the custom house your

challenge is to tear it down the more

cards you pull out the better without

the whole thing falling down some cards

are structural some cards are not

they're being held up by the building if

you look right here there's a whole

bunch of cards that are just sitting on

here and they're not really holding a

whole lot you can take out surprising

amounts of cards soon you can take out a

whole Corner the more cards you pull out

the more points Ruff will give you but

the tower has to stay standing we can

pull these out they decoration yeah yeah

get rid of those they're not doing

anything

got a lot of cards here

ref hey be

careful it's shaking it's shaking
