tell him

you tell him i'm not gonna tell him hey

who's the clown climbing into the ring

with

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

you never heard how that got started

story goes he was raised by an onion

family known as the stallions

hey

he never realized he was different and

grew up thinking he was a scallion

ah that doesn't make sense sure it does

plus scallion only rhymes with like five

words and italian is the catchiest no i

i mean a silk screen

this silk screen is a theatrical device

used to make exposition more visually

interesting

hey blake have any recycling today

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

wow

might as well call workman's comp it's

thrown out again

now that's a haiku

haiku three on rhyme lines of five seven

and five syllables haiku

what are you doing scallion you're

supposed to help po train not give him a

sprain sorry

i was just joking around

[Music]

[Music]

i sing my silly song

i see

[Music]

sound

that's your problem

you're always joking around look at you

you said you wanted to be a sumo but the

minute it got hard you gave up you got

no guts kid well no gut you're skinny

you could have had seconds even though

it's at the dinner table you could have

been big you never finished anything

unless it's a punchline not finish

anything name one thing i didn't finish

yo

[Music]

what do you mean vodado is hurt who did

it

ah

it was an accident

champion song now who will you wrestle

for the championship and the prize that

goes with it

[Music]

wow

i want the championship i don't care

about their prize

i won't have to finish fixing adrian's

bike if i can have that one hey i'll

take it

[Music]

for this championship wrestle apollo

i was talking about the bike

how about this haiku

in the year of the scallion how about a

boat with the italian scallion

closer the champ's only off by two

syllables

no forget it apollo's way out of

scallions league hey i'm not potato

weathering he slipped on a banana peel

well it was my fault anyway i owe it to

po

tell him i'll take his place

you're a hoot that's the funniest joke

i've ever heard the italian scallion in

a ring with a pillow guard because you

want a bite

[Music]

no really

i accept the challenge what could be so

hard about staying in the ring for eight

seconds i've got jokes with punchlines

longer than that

he's accepted the challenges

[Music]

[Music]

indeed

kid why are you doing this i owe it to

pogba

and i need that bike

i owe that to hayden but

apollo's the champ no one's ever stayed

in the ring with him longer than eight

seconds there's always the first time

but you only have two weeks to train how

do you expect to stick to it and see it

through to the end you could help me

you could be my trainer

oh you know kid in a funny kind of way

you remind me of myself when i was your

age okay i'll do it but you gotta

promise to do everything i say no matter

how ridiculous it seems at the time you

gotta stick with it and not give up okay

i promise

peace

[Music]

the most important thing any wrestling

should have

[Music]

[Music]

gotta keep eating kid

i told you getting into shape wasn't

gonna be easy

[Applause]

yeah

yeah i'm supposed to drink this of

course

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

fight scallion is a pushover i could

beat him in my sleep

oh a train he says he'll do none the

moment scallions are better he will get

much better in

this seconds

[Music]

what's the matter kid

training is tough

i want to show you something

who's that clown

me when i was your age they called me mr

juicy

yeah i goofed around like you i never

took anything seriously

but i learned you can change the key is

stick it out to the end even when it's

hard that's

perseverance i learned that working hard

and finishing well can be very rewarding

is that you

yep alexander the grape grand sumo

champion three is

[Music]

look scallion

sometimes there's a good reason to stop

and quit but not just because it's too

hard

god asks us to do lots of things that

are hard but they're good things and

they make us better people

most things worth having take hard work

perseverance scallion

perseverance

that's the problem mikey

i don't got what it takes

maybe that's the reason i'm always

clowning around it's the only thing i'm

any good at i'm no good at training or

wrestling or

finishing

i'm only good at making with the jokes i

quit

[Music]

why aren't you training i don't know

look hey dream about the training

what's that thing on your head

oh i made it for show-and-tell it's a

scallion headpiece like you wear it felt

great to finish it and show everyone you

know

no i don't

i never finished any of my show-and-talk

projects

was it hard

yeah

but then i figured if you could stick to

something so could i

you figured that

[Music]

when he um on keeping on

put up a fight for what is right don't

quit until you're done

until

so don't stop

just keep on keeping on

[Music]

wait till you get in the ring with
