kids out on the challenges up to 100
points are at stake in the Triumph tally
so let's get the latest on Jay and Ruby
pigeon expert
okay there's John he's our pigeon expert
and here come my fine feathered Fetchers
now hi are you John I am John you're
pigeons yeah yeah since you're pigeons
you need to learn more about yourselves
I'm an
ornithologist what's that someone who
studies birds pigeons have a lot of
talents they can fly very fast they
rarely if ever get lost and they have a
great sense of direction and P experts
at delivering messages
now all pigeons have these capabilities
but these birds are like athletes that
haven't been in training lately I know
where we can find some pigeons that have
been in training would you like to see
them yeah okay let's go okay we want
your best pigeon I have an important
message to deliver okay Ruby and Jay
this is my friend EJ hi we were sent by
R Ruffman to deliver a message for him
do you know if these pigeons can deliver
messages yes they can how does the
pigeon know where to go out pigeons
always fly home home is where they have
to deliver the message people take the
pigeon to some place and then they put
the message with the bird and then when
they let the bird go it flies home oh no
if they can only fly home that means
they can't deliver a message to my
parents I better rethink this Blossom
you better rethink this in order to find
their way home they're using two
critical navigational skills a map and a
compass a compass tells us the direction
in which to go I have yet to see a
pigeon with a map or a compass I used to
see him with a piece of stale pretzel
the map seems to be based partly on
smells what they can smell in the
environment but also what they can hear
and see oh so they basically build their
own map and then they revert back to it
later when they need it exactly a smell
map interesting so here is a compass now
let's talk a little bit about how this
compass works see I a magnet here and
notice when I bring the magnet closer to
the compass the north arrow is following
the magnet wow so obviously something
that this magnet is doing is affecting
the compass and we call that magnetic
field now if I take the magnet away you
see how the compass now is following
North over this way now what do you
think that it's reacting to well I think
it's reacting to the Earth's magnetic
field absolutely wow the Earth has an
invisible magnetic field how do they
know where North Southeast and West is
if they can't physically use a compass
see these pigeons have iron in their
beaks and that allows them to detect the
Earth's magnetic
field huh say is that what makes a
pigeon race
compass point North too wow the iron in
the pigeon's beaks Works kind of like a
compass and points them in the right
direction Bo pigeons are good at getting
around we'll see if the Fetchers can
compete with them is that a phone hello
hey guys it's R hey R hey R since
pigeons can only deliver messages home
I've revised your challenge you know
since they're already dressed up all
right you guys will race the pigeons 60
M back home to EJ's
house how are we going to beat him
you'll travel in the pigeon mobile and
you'll compete over 3 20 M legs during
each leg you'll get a challenge if you
do well you'll go 65 mph which is right
around these pigeons top speed if you
don't do well you can only go 45 mph
which is slow for a pigeon now you'll
start at the same time and you'll travel
65 mph for the first Lake okay whoever
gets to the end of the race with the
fastest overall speed wins we're ready
yeah let's go so EJ do you think we have
a chance no let's prove EJ wrong now
it's time to start the pigeon race Ready
set go the pigeons are off wait a minute
we should really start to get going
they're fly really fast to the pigeon
mobile oh pigeon mobile
rough it's creative first the suits then
the car what's next you know I think
Batman should have had a pigeon sidekick
instead of a
robin okay this is the first leg of the
race so we're going to be going 65 mph
yeah all right Fen your seat belts
pigeons so I wonder how long this leg is
going to take them they're traveling 20
M and 65 mph so their first leg should
take them a little over 18 minutes there
are the pigeons heading back to their
home at
EJ's all right Emmy is arriving at the
creary hi are you the cheese maker yes
I'm a cheese maker my name is lella hi
I'm Emmy so you want to work with me for
the day oh sure cheese is kind of my
passion my my my career path my destiny
you could say well that's awesome
because it's also my career path and my
destiny and um I love making cheese and
I get to do it every day wow a passion
cheese making
for cheese well we know who Chet's
favorite fetcher is we're here at the
crey we make all the chees in this room
and then we age it we buy our milk it
comes in the same day that it's milked
from the cow Chad are you actually
drooling try not to eat the monitor how
does the milk get turned into cheese
I'll show you that so we filled the vat
the next thing that we have to do is
wait until the temperatur is correct
because we're heating up the milk you
can maybe feel it oh yeah and then when
it's the right temperature we add
cultures what's another name for
cultures oh what's it called bacteria
what do bacteria like to do eat eat
exactly we add this bacteria and we use
a special bacteria that is going to make
our mozzarella taste like mozzarella the
bacteria is eating the sugar in the milk
really which is called lactose oh that
makes sense yeah cuz they eat the
lactose and then they produce lactic
acid and that makes it start to get
Tangy like yogurt so the sugar in the
milk becomes an acid which turns the
sweet taste into more of a sour flavor
the next thing we do after that is we
add the renit and renit is an enzyme we
put in the milk and it's going to cause
the proteins in the milk to coagulate
and thicken and that's going to start it
becoming cheese you just pour it right
in and then we're going to mix yep
perfect and then just stay with the
machine this is awesome we are actually
watching milk turn into cheese the renit
has now set it's not liquid anymore it's
solid it's it feels like Jello-O this is
cheese right here is this going to
become mozzarella yeah Emy seems happy
about that and then our next step we're
going to go ahead and cut the cheese
milk separates out into curds and that
yellowy fluid that's weeping out that's
way why do they cut it into little
pieces like that so this helps the way
to come out of the cheese so the solid
white is the cheese and the yellow is
the way we actually use the way to make
our ricot oh really like I always say if
there's a will there's a way and if
quiz show
there's a way there's Ricotta and if
there are three Fetchers waiting
patiently there's the half time quit
hi we are back here in studio Che Studio
G with Mark trya and Marco you guys are
getting ready to earn points of your own
during the halftime quiz show let's
brush up on the rules 50 points are
available you have 60 seconds to answer
as many questions as you can 10
questions available at Five Points a
piece are you guys ready yeah then let
the quiz begin pigeons have many talents
name three of them they can always find
their way back home they can sense which
ways North using iron in their beak and
what else that's only two let's move on
we'll come back to it if we have time
okay the bacteria you add to milk to
make cheese is also called what cultures
right cultures cultures cultures yes
excellent the sugar and milk that gets
eaten by bacteria is called lactose yes
excellent name the two important
navigational tools pigeons use to find
their way home compass in a map yes
pigeons have iron in their beaks which
they use to a attract to mate B smell
things far away or see sense the Earth's
magnetic
field yes when milk turns to cheese it
separates into a solid and liquid part
called blank and blank um C and way yes
true or false a pigeon builds a map
based on smells true true correct oh and
we are out of time all right let's go
over the one you missed pigeon have many
talents name three of them you guys
really only name two of them let me give
you a list of your options here they fly
fast great sense of direction great
sense of smell and they are very tasty
all right wait a minute Blossom that is
not an answer that gives you a total of
3,30 points all right now it's time for
the pigeon second leg of the race all
pigeon test
right it's time for your next pigeon
test okay you're going to use a map just
like a pigeon and you've got 2 minutes
to complete this test use a map just
like a pigeon and pigeons smell and then
they create like little landmarks so
they know where to go so basically if we
don't get this stuff right we'll be
slowed down so we'll dep P if they don't
get it right correct let's just go as as
you can and the timer's off all right
look container there's the first
container they've reached their first
smell
checkpoint this one smells like garlic
this one is definitely vanilla and I
think that's the first one on our map
yeah it is oh I get it the one that's
correct on our map is the direction we
go so we have to go this way they have
to follow the trail marked by the scents
on the map oh yeah there's another one
okay here they need to detect the aroma
of mustard tomato soup ah that must be
another decoy oh it's definitely mustard
so we have to go up this Trail let's go
all right I'll take this one all right I
got these two next they're going to be
sniffing for cinnamon this one smells
like baby powder this one is cinnamon we
have to go this way all cinnamon says
they go to the left
time is of the
essence next checkpoint power with of
peppermint will point the way it's
peppermint let's go this s all right
peppermint to the
right there's fin line finish line yeah
did they make it in 2 minutes made it in
4 minutes and 14 seconds oh no so that
means on this next leg of the race we
can only go 45 mph sorry Fetchers you
just don't smell as good as a pigeon now
this leg is 20 M and they're traveling
at 45 m hour so it's going to take them
about 27
stretch mozzarella
minutes and now I'm going to show you
what we do to stretch mozzarella oh wow
this is mozzarella curd all right after
we've cut the mozzarella into bits we
put hot hot water on it so it's melting
and I'm kind of jostling it up a little
because want the hot water to touch all
the different areas that mozzarella CR
is starting to melt on the outside do
you see it yeah and what's it doing when
it's melting well it's it's taking a new
shape it's kind of stringy ooh stretchy
and what I want to do to make a ball of
mozzarella is compact all of those
little bits so that none of them are
still in curd shape so your challenge is
to take this handful of curds okay and
make your own mozzarella ball my own
mozzarella do you think you can do it oh
yeah I think I can do this all right
Emmy time to make the mozzarella got the
cheese C in the bowl now you add these
scalding hot water oh it's hot please be
careful so it's going going to take a
different shape now it's becoming a
little more stringy like the string
trees okay it's kind it's turning into a
ball now it's getting smoother this is a
good sign Ruff okay that looks pretty
smooth to me what about you Ruff
although I am getting a little tired of
cheese I still can't wait to try yours
when you come back to Studio G I want to
taste a piece
now
tasty that is good we have a happy
fetcher I can't believe I just made that
my cheese tastes funny oh and it's
sticking to me
CH all right Emmy you've really done a
great job and I think you've gotten a
better idea of what it means to make
cheese definitely this is the cheese
that you made oh cool I challenge you to
take this piece of cheese to a high-end
restaurant Shay Pascal and see what
happens wait what good luck this is
awesome thank you very much uh Ruff I'm
going to a restaurant look how excited

Pascal hi nice to meet you nice to meet
you too what do you have here okay so
this is the mozzarella cheese that I

to tell me how it is uh how about some
grilled cheese excellent idea all right
we're going to do your homemade cheese
against store boy okay it's a
competition okay we should get you an
apron on oh this is rough so the first
thing I'm going to do is we're going to
be putting butter into a pan so now go
ahead and let's take your bread we're
going to make one sandwich with the
store bought and one with your homemade
so go ahead and take two slices each
then we're going to put some bacon in
the middle is there a finer food than
grilled cheese with bacon looks good
perfect now put the cheese on top now
that's thore bought cheese now we want
to do the same thing with your cheese
okay so put one slice yep and then bacon
so now let's go ahead and put your bread
that one on this has changed my whole
approach to Bing grilled cheese so the
true test of this is tasting it now we
have some real
judges oh some customers have entered
the
restaurant hi guys what are you doing
here we heard there's cheese here wow
you guys surprise me rough my family is
over there and my my friend's dad

cheese now the judges will decide which
sandwich tastes
better I'm hearing M that's usually a
good sign very good I I think my brother
is going to like mine better they'll
taste sandwich number two but my sister
she might guess the other one you know
just because and then I think my Uncle
Mitch and Angus my friend's dad will

all those pigeons their ancestors were
Mediterranean cliff dwellers they've
adapted very well to living around
humans see all the lges up here and all
these buildings yeah that's where the
pigeons breed and Nest they actually
create a habitat that's very similar to
the habitat that the ancestors of these
pigeons had I did not know that and if
