"The Whiz Kid Quiz."
Whoa. Come on, you can do this.
-What do you think she's doing?
-Don't know. It looks fun.
-Whoa.
-It's about to start.
Iggy, is your mom okay?
Yeah, she's doing yoga stuff.
Says it'll make her live longer,
but I don't know.
Hey there team.
-Heya.
-Hi.
Why were you upside down
and wibbly-wobbly?
Trying to dance like a troll?
'Cause that's close,
but not exactly how you do it.
I was trying to do a yoga pose
called Scorpion Handstand.
It's hard to crack, like a coconut.
Reminds me, I need coconuts.
I know I can do it.
Believing is the first step to achieving.
Sounds cool. I love you,
but we don't wanna miss any questions.
Okay. Have a blast, you three.
I'll be upside down,
like a pineapple upside-down cake.
I should put that on the cafe menu.
See ya later, Chef P.
Whassup, quizheads?
Welcome to The Whiz Kid Quiz,
the coolest quizzes in the bizzes.
I'm your host, Cherry Chen.
-Everyone have their buzzer?
-Yep.
You "nose" it.
Awesome.
What is the longest river on earth?
The Nile.
How many noses does a slug have?
Four.
Can you imagine a slug with allergies?
Mercury. Twelve. Waning moon.
E equals MC squared. Whale shark.
Whoa Iggy,
I think you're a quiz show genius.
Yeah. You're a Whiz Kid Quiz pro.
It's just my favorite show.
I think about it constantly
and dream about winning the Golden Buzzer.
"Golden Buzzer"?
This Golden Buzzer
will go to the quiz-testant
who answers the next question correctly.
It's magnificent.
What's a fake treatment
that sometimes makes a person feel better
because they simply believe it's helping?
Placebo!
-Pla-- Say what?
-Placebo.
Fake medicine that makes someone better
because they "think" it works.
Fascinating. Human brains are so powerful.
Nobody? Are you puzzled? Flummoxed?
All quizzed out? Okay then.
The answer is "placebo."
-Wow Iggy.
-Holy "placebole."
You would've won the Golden Buzzer.
You should go on the show.
O-M-Genius.
You're so fast at buzzing.
Like ninja fast.
And you know all the answers.
-You'd definitely win.
-No. I'm not interested.
Why? It's your favorite show.
And you dream about
winning the Golden Buzzer.
What are your thoughts on dinosaurs?
I love them.
They're my favorite ancient rep--
Wait a second.
Are you trying to change the subject?
I think he is.
Well, that is--
A mystery, a riddle, a puzzle, or a quest
When I don't know the answer
To a question or a query
Why? Why? Why? Why?
My curiosity leads to discovery
Why? Why? Why? Why?
We're ready to go, the g*ng's all here
Another adventure with the Questioneers
-Don't know what we'll find
-But it's fun to try
That's why I
Ask why!
Why won't you go on your favorite show?
Is it 'cause you're a vampire
and you can't be on camera?
Or are you a super-secret spy
and can't blow your cover?
You don't wanna get famous
because of the paparazzi.
Whoa!
No, it's none of those things.
I'd love to be on the show,
but I can't because I get nervous
speaking in front of big groups of people.
That's okay, Iggy.
Many people get nervous talking in public.
According to my notes, over 70% of people.
It's the most common fear in the world.
Though it's common,
I'm still too nervous to go on the show
I have an idea.
Loading the lab.
What if you answer questions
in front of a fake audience?
Then it might not be so scary.
Is that Albert Einstein?
And Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
And Arthur?
And Balloon Bob. He's cool too.
Okay. I guess I can try.
Thanks for being here, quizheads.
You're a great fake audience.
Our next question is,
what is a baby kangaroo called?
I think we broke Iggy.
I can't do this.
The correct answer is, "a joey."
Are you okay, Iggy?
I told you,
I get nervous talking in front of people.
Don't worry, we'll solve this.
We just need to test out
how to make you less nervous.
Repeat after me, I am strong.
I am strong?
-I am brave.
-I am brave.
I am going to jump out of this airplane
and fly like a bird.
I'm going to ju-- What?
I don't wanna jump out of an airplane.
I'm scared of heights. And birds.
Guess my mom's motivational sayings
aren't gonna work.
If a movie starts becoming scary,
I close my eyes
and I'm not scared anymore.
If I can't see an audience,
I won't know they're there.
-Yes.
-That's someone in the audience isn't it?
Are you serious right now, Bob?
This isn't working.
This one is super powerful.
It's a Great Aunt Rose trick.
Picture the audience as underwear.
Don't you mean
picture the audience in their underwear?
Nope, as underwear. Works every time.
Now you try, Iggy.
Okay. It's just underwear.
Even more terrifying!
Thanks for trying to help me,
but I can't even speak to underwear.
There's no way
I can go on The Whiz Kid Quiz.
Poor Iggy. I just wish we could help him.
I know. He'd be great on the show.
He's so fast at buzzing,
and he knows tons of interesting facts.
Yeah. He even knew what a "placheeto" was.
That fake treatment thingy.
Rosie, that's it.
We need to give Iggy
a placebo to make him less nervous.
Oh yeah.
It might make him
believe he's not nervous.
And believing
is the first step to achieving,
like Iggy's mom said.
This stuff will make me
not nervous to speak in front of people?
Oh yeah.
The Public Speaking Potion
is super powerful.
Uh-huh. Arthur took some
when he did his first magic show.
Just a spoonful of this
will make your nervousness disappear.
If it worked for Arthur.
Tastes like jelly beans.
How do you feel?
I feel, oh my gosh, not nervous.
-Awesome.
-Let's test it.
Okay, quiz-testant Iggy.
What is the largest rain forest
in the world?
The Amazon.
-We have a winner.
-I did it.
-Yeah Iggy.
-You did it.
I did it. Oh yeah!
Oops. Sorry Arthur.
Come on. I got a show to apply for.
Almost there.
Boom-choco-latte. I knew I could do it.
-Wow.
-Cool.
Thanks, little bean sprouts.
Mom, can I please use the computer
to apply for The Whiz Kid Quiz?
Of course, sweet pea. I'll help.
My name is Iggy Peck.
I'd love to be in The Whiz Kid Quiz
because I watch it every week
and my dream is to win the Golden Buzzer.
So I hope you choose me. Thanks.
-Yes.
-Oh yeah.
Go, Golden Buzzer, go. Go, Golden--
No!
Uh-oh.
Oh no. I got on The Whiz Kid Quiz,
but I can't do it without the potion.
Please tell me you can make more.
You don't need it, Iggy.
The truth is, you can do it on your own.
Yeah, we gave you a "plaquego."
I mean, a "plenameno"?
I mean, Ada?
The potion was a placebo.
It wasn't real medicine.
Wait, you lied to me?
Sorry. We just know how much
you wanted to go on the show.
We were trying to help,
but we shouldn't have lied.
It's okay. You did help.
The placebo worked.
I wasn't nervous at all.
I just needed to believe I could do it,
and now I know I can.
Whiz Kid Quiz, here I come.
Yay.
If he gets this one right, he wins.
Come on, Iggy. You can do it.
Time for the final quizzifying question.
What is the name for a drawing
that shows the plans for a building?
I can do this.
A blueprint.
Correct!
Our new quiz-tastic champion
is Quizzy Peck.
I mean, Iggy Peck.
He did it!
Wow, it's so golden.
And buzzy.
It's even more golden and more magnificent
than I dreamed it'd be,
and I couldn't have done it without you.
We'll help you anytime,
but you didn't need us.
You won that on your own.
With just a little tiny bit
of a "platebio."
I mean,
"placebo."
"Glitter-tastrophe."
Crew, prepare for landing.
Welcome home surprise plane, check.
Good job, co-pilots.
Happy to help, Captain Rosie.
Me too.
Your mom is gonna be surprised
when she sees this coming in to greet her.
Wait. I don't wanna get anything
on my mom's brand new rug.
I want the perfect welcome home surprise
after a really long trip.
Copy that.
This plane looks kind of plain.
It needs something extra.
Like what?
Let's think about it over a cake.
I mean, a break.
Smells yummy, Great Aunt Rose.
It does, doesn't it?
This seven-layer rainbow cake
is gonna be mmm-mmm-magic.
My mom's plane's gonna land soon.
-The cake!
-Uh-oh.
Must have baked this one too long.
Oh no. You sure the cake's
gonna be ready in time?
Trust the magic.
When I see a negative, like a broken cake,
I try to turn it into a positive,
like we get to eat broken cake.
Okay, the yellow and green are in.
Are you going to put the cakes
in color order like a real rainbow?
Sure am. "Roy G Biv."
Red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, violet.
When the cake is done,
I'll top it off with these.
-Glittery.
-Sparkly.
I know what the plane needs.
Glitter.
My mom loves sparkle.
And this glitter's eco-friendly.
It's better for the planet.
The plane won't be so plain
after it gets glitter-ized.
It'll be glitter-ific.
I'll get the table ready.
Can you hold the plane up so I can see it?
Now this plane really sparkles.
Rosie! Glitter!
-Oh no.
-No!
-What happened?
-We got glitter on Mom's new rug.
She can't come home
from her trip to this mess.
Oh dear. Do you kids need help?
You work on the cake,
we'll take care of this.
Roger that, Cap'n.
Okay crew, let's clean up.
Whoa!
Now it's really everywhere.
Including on us. We got glittered.
And it's so hard
to get glitter out of stuff.
I did some research on glitter
and found out that it's because,
when glitter gets on a flat surface,
it pushes the air from under it,
then air pushes down on it,
which makes it hard to grab.
That means cleaning it
is going to be impossible.
Hard, but not impossible.
Maybe we'll get an idea
that sticks in a brainstorm.
I have an idea.
We could weave
a whole new rug for your mom.
But weaving a whole rug
will take a really long time.
And my mom's plane's landing soon.
Right.
We could get ants
to carry the glitter out.
How would we get the ants
out of the carpet?
We'd need a couple thousand spiders.
We'd never be able
to untangle ourselves from all the webs.
We could glitter the whole house.
Then the rug won't stand out.
What if we got glitter
all over the whole building?
Or the whole town?
Or the whole world?
True. Then aliens could be
blinded by the brightness.
Earth bright!
That would be bad.
I shoulda just let the plane stay plain.
Chin up, Rosie Posie.
Hey, you can fix this.
You gotta stay positive.
Right. If we stay positive,
we'll think better.
I know. Rosie rule number 32.
Balloons. Yeah.
It's hard to be negative with balloons.
Ta-da. A ladybug for Lady Ada.
I love it. Thanks.
And a top hat for Iggy.
Thanks Rosie.
My dad loves watching old movies
where people wear top hats and dance.
-Nice moves.
-Go Iggy.
Oh my gosh. Look at your hair.
Wow. The glitter from your shirt
is stuck to the balloon.
Wow, you're right.
Maybe balloons can pick up the glitter.
That's awesome.
I knew balloons were magical,
but I had no idea how magical.
Come on crew, let's blow up balloons
and clean up this glitter.
-Got it.
-On it.
-There's no glitter on the balloons.
-It didn't work.
My mom's plane landed
and the rug's not cleaned up.
This is a glitter-tastrophe.
I give up
I can't do it, gonna quit
Can't get through it, hit a wall
It's so impossible
When all I see are obstacles
Afraid I'm gonna fail and so I quit
There's no use in trying
There's no way that we can win
Don't give up, don't give in
Gotta get right back up and try again
Mistakes can be lucky breaks
A happy accident along the way
Don't give up, don't give in
Maybe you'll make failure your best friend
And try, try, try
Gotta get up and try again
I have an idea.
If we observe the glitter,
we may learn how to clean it up.
Loading the lab.
-Okay, let's observe the glitter.
-We need a test tube.
-I got it.
-I'll add the glitter.
It's sticking to the sides
of the test tube.
Fascinating.
I wonder what happens if we add water.
The glitter ba*ls up,
which could make it easier to clean.
Let's see.
The water made the glitter
stick to my glove,
but not to the rag.
I'm trying to stay positive,
like Great Aunt Rose said,
but this glitter mess
is making me feel really negative.
Wait. Positive, negative, like charges.
Things attract each other
when one has a positive charge
and the other has a negative one.
Iggy's balloon attracted the glitter.
Why did Iggy's balloon top hat
attract glitter but our balloons didn't?
Good question.
Let's look at them up close.
Whoa. Glitter looks amazing up close.
Fab-tastically sparkly.
The shapes are so mathematical.
Look, there's my hair
on the glitter side of the balloon.
I just connected the polka dots.
Charges in Iggy's hair
must have made the balloon
the opposite charge of the glitter.
Which made them attract each other.
I have a hypothesis.
If we use Iggy's hair on the balloons,
they'll pick up the glitter.
You're gonna
use my hair to charge balloons?
-Yeah.
-Fine, for science.
And you, Rosie.
Yay. Thank you, Iggy.
Your mom is on her way.
Thanks Great Aunt Rose.
Okay, we have to move faster.
Okay, balloon me.
-Hooray!
-Mind blown.
It worked!
Let's make a Glitter-Be-Gone Gadget.
I'll sketch a design.
-Yeah!
-Great Aunt Rose!
-Check out our Glitter-Be-Gone Gadget.
-Hey, you turned a flop into a fab.
We turned a negative into a positive,
like you said.
I'm proud of you.
Well, get to cleaning.
I'll finish up the cake.
Now let's get rid of this glitter, crew.
Never thought I'd ever say that.
There. All the glitter's gone.
-Except where we want it.
-Cake's ready.
It's so sparkly.
Rainbow-y.
It looks sparkle-tastic.
Thanks, Great Aunt Rose.
I love it
when a sparkly plan comes together.
You're welcome, my love.
Mom's walking up. Places, crew.
Welcome home!
Wow. Is all this for me?
-Yep.
-I love the plane.
Oh my gosh, it's so sparkly.
Thanks, Captain Banana Smooches and Cream.
That's my girl
and her amazing flight crew.
-No problem.
-You got it.
I wanted you to have
a sparkly and delicious welcome home.
After a long flight,
this is the best welcome home ever.
Local temperature, warm and fuzzy.
Now who wants some magic rainbow cake?
-I do.
-Me.
-Yes please.
-Totally.
Iggy, I'm loving the new 'do.
