SPEAKER: Now entering Brains On! headquarters.
MOLLY BLOOM: Oh my gosh, hi. Welcome to Brains On! headquarters. We're so glad you're here today. That Smarty Pass you're holding gets you access to all sorts of behind the scenes goodies, including visits to headquarters. Ruby said she had a story she wanted to share with you. I think she's waiting for us in the lab or kitchen.
It's just a short walk and an elevator ride away. Follow me. So this is where we make Brains On!, Smash, Boom, Best, Forever Ago, Moment of Um. We're cooking up some new stuff, too. We can't wait to tell you all about it. Oh, here comes Gungador. Hey, Gungador. Oh, he has his headphones in. Gungador!
GUNGADOR: Huh?
MOLLY BLOOM: Hi! Just taking our friend here to go meet Ruby.
GUNGADOR: Gungador just came from dance class with Ruby. Gungador show Ruby how to do split kick, side slinky and backwards leapfrog. Gungador exhausted and sweaty.
MOLLY BLOOM: You sure are. See you later. OK. Through there is the taco farm if you're hungry later, and behind that door is the Tree Hall of Fame. Oh, and that's our saber tooth fact checker. He's awesome. A real stickler for bibliographies, though. Oh, and here is Elevator.
ELEVATOR: You called?
MOLLY BLOOM: To the laborkitchen, please, Elevator.
ELEVATOR: Laborkitchen, coming up. You're new here, so here is a joke I wrote especially for you. What do you call a broken escalator? Stairs. Get it? Tough crowd. Anyway, here's the laborkitchen.
MOLLY BLOOM: Thanks, Elevator. And here's our pal Ruby Guthrie
RUBY GUTHRIE: Hi, Molly. And ooh, look at you with that shiny new Smarty Pass. Welcome.
MOLLY BLOOM: I hear you have a story for us.
RUBY GUTHRIE: Indeed, I do. It's spooky season around here with Halloween right around the corner, so I thought I would tell you about the teenage girl who invented the genre of science fiction.
MOLLY BLOOM: Ooh, I can't wait. For the rest of the story, head to smartypass.org/brainson to subscribe now.
