Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Kim Possible’s Place in Disney History

• Show Background: Created by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle, ran from 2002–2007, becoming an iconic Disney Channel comedy-adventure [13:08].
• Host Reflections: Will Friedle shares how Disney held him under “hold deals” after Boy Meets World, eventually calling him to audition for Kim Possible [14:06]. He recalls, “Even people that do the voice of SpongeBob… we all still audition. It’s just your voice is gonna work or it isn’t. That’s kind of a great thing about animation” [14:59].

2. First Impressions: Watching Kim Possible

• Ryder’s First Viewing: Despite voicing guest character “Brick Flag,” Ryder admits, “I have so many questions because I’ve never seen the show... So, like, what is her? How does this come about? What happens?” [15:33].
• Meta Realization: The group realizes the show throws viewers into Kim’s world already mid-adventure, with no “origin story” [16:02].
  • Danielle: “You never, you know, we don’t ever find the origin story.” [16:03]
  • Will: “We do flashback episodes... but I don’t remember what it was” [16:30].
• Kim’s Lack of Secret Identity: Rider notes, “It’s so interesting that she doesn’t have a secret identity. Like everyone knows that this teenager who’s a cheerleader is also fighting crime.” [16:43]

3. Character Dynamics and Tropes

• Kim’s Life & Team: Will breaks down the formula: cheerleading, crime fighting, babysitting, and a team consisting of Ron (her best friend/sidekick), Wade (10-year-old tech genius), and Rufus (a naked mole rat, because Ron’s dad is allergic to furry pets) [17:15, 18:43].
• Recurring Catchphrases: Will recites, “Booyah” for Ron, “What’s the sitch?” for Kim, and the twins' gibberish [30:46].
• Meta-Commentary: The hosts joke about the layered absurdities, calling out how the stakes in the show, while global, often feel secondary to typical high-school drama [23:29, 23:48].

4. Plot Recap: “All the News”

• Ron’s Aspirations: Ron desperately wants to get an article published in the school paper, tries to make newsworthy content, and ends up exaggerating Kim’s comments about Brick, the quarterback (voiced by Ryder) [22:12–22:50].
• Social Fallout: Kim is mortified by being (mis)quoted as thinking Brick is “hot”—sparking rumors, school drama, and a date [28:20, 34:49].
• Adrenaline Stuntwoman B-Plot: Adrenaline, a TV stunt celebrity, fakes stunts for ratings. Kim, Ron, and the others critique the morality of manufactured heroism versus genuine acts [29:19, 32:14].
  • Danielle: “This was like so early 2000s commentary on what was happening… reality shows were brand new and the idea of Survivor, the show…” [29:31]
  • Will connects it also to "Jackass" and “kids doing everything they see on TV” [29:50].
• Dueling Storylines: The show juggles Ron’s journalistic mischief, Adrenaline’s fake heroics, Pop Pop Porter’s stolen shrimp blimp [39:10], and the rising confusion and chaos as plotlines collide.

5. Deeper Themes & Absurdity

• Layered Satire: The hosts note Kim Possible merges “clickbait” journalism, influencer culture, and reality TV criticism—long before these phenomena were mainstream [34:37, 34:49].
  • Danielle: “It’s the invention of clickbait.” [34:37]
  • Will: “He’s instantly popular the second he starts lying.” [38:17]
• Blending Stakes: Rider questions the show’s logic—why wouldn’t saving the world outweigh high school drama? Will defends the focus: “When you’re in high school, there is nothing more important than your everyday, daily whatever” [23:29].

6. Action-Packed Showdown

• Climax at the Carnival: Adrenaline kidnaps Brick to stage an “extreme” on-air battle, hoping to revive her cancelled TV show. Kim must rescue Brick and Ron from carnival-themed death traps [62:35].
  • Rider critiques the randomness: “I was just like, this seems a little random… the old carnival. We'll do that” [63:29].
• Resolution: After saving the day, Kim is accused by Brick of “trying too hard,” and the episode wraps up with tongue-in-cheek humor—matching Kim Possible’s irreverent, high-energy tone [68:42].

7. Relatable and Hilarious Commentary

• Life Lessons: The hosts discuss how media influences real-life stunts (“Did you ever copy anything you saw on screen?”) and share childhood stories—Rider’s barrel-down-the-hill adventure receives particular attention [54:10].
• Meta-Jokes and Self-Deprecation:
  • Danielle: “I thought, oh, fun, a cartoon. And then I was like, I have some meaning of life questions.” [69:10]
  • Will, on the show’s complexity: “Because you’re watching it wrong. That’s wrong.” [69:02]

New Cerave Balancing Air Foam Cleanser from the number one dermatologist recommended skincare brand.

[A]

Cerave has a cleanser for every skin type. Find yours. We got an email that I thought would be perfect for us to discuss. It is from Nicole from South Carolina. And and there was an article in the Independent that I want to read to you guys. Not all heroes wear capes. Neighbor says his Batman pajamas gave him confidence to catch a home invader.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

Kyle Mivett told officers he had gone to bed on Tuesday night but had later been alerted to the break in by his home security cameras. So he got alerted that the there were some invaders and he went outside and found a man rummaging through his truck. The suspect was later identified as Justin Shimple. Moments later, Myvet said He found the 20 year old in his neighbor's garage and he was still in his super nightwear, his Batman pajamas. Here is a picture of him in his Batman pajamas. Adult man in adult man Batman pajamas.

[D]

So this is hope for Will to become a superhero in his superhero underwear.

[A]

That's exactly why I wanted to bring it up. Okay, so what's the question? I did think this was justification for Will and his underpants. There's no question. I just wanted you to know Will, you're not alone.

[C]

That's fine. First of all, the man has wonderful pajamas. Second of all, why he has his picture taken or has his real identity out there I'll never understand. Oh yeah, but that's okay. You catch the criminal in your Batman pajamas, you tie him up, you run back in your house, put on regular clothes and come out and go wow, who did this? That's what you're supposed to do. Everybody knows that.

[A]

The actual story of how he grabbed.

[C]

Him says please Tell me it was a Batarang.

[A]

No, I. Never mind. I now can't see it because I have to register for free to continue reading and I'm not doing that. So. Anyway, he no intention of doing that. Sorry, independent, you're on your own. Anyway, he grabbed him by the shirt, twisted his wrist behind his back, but he said those Batman pajamas gave him the confidence.

[C]

It does. The problem I have with my. With full Batman and regalia at night is turning over with the utility belt on, right?

[A]

Oh, right.

[C]

The grappling hook gets caught on the sheets that sue likes, and she's like, you ruined another set of sheets. And I'm like, yeah, but I have kryptonite in this side.

[D]

And yeah, it's.

[C]

So there's a lot going on with a good utility belt.

[A]

I would just like to say that if. Will I never wish this for you, but if you ever did have a home invader and you caught the person in your Batman underwear, you would never be known as 4C again. No, this would be the most famous. You would be making headlines left and right.

[C]

So I have said, though, that if there is a home invader, the only thing I have to do is outrun faster than Susan.

[A]

Yeah, everybody knows you like to say you always need to be faster than me. That's why I knew where that one was going.

[C]

It's true. I just like somebody says, what do you do if you're attacked by a bear? You just hope you can outrun whoever you're with. That's all. It comes down it. No, of course not. Yes. No, we don't want. We already had the home invasion in the. In the boy world and Bill Daniels, Mr. Feeney, ran him off.

[A]

I know.

[C]

That's crazy. I wonder what kind of underwear he had on at the time.

[A]

Good question. Okay, our next interview.

[C]

I was gonna say Bill Daniels is a superhero. What do you think? He's got one pair of underwear. What do you think Bill Daniels is wearing as his superhero underwear?

[D]

Didn't he play like Mr. Captain Fantastic.

[C]

Or Captain Amazing or something like that?

[D]

He'd be fantastic.

[C]

Is it okay? So, yeah, he'd have.

[A]

He'd be Captain Fantastic, whatever it is.

[C]

Yeah. Okay, gotcha.

[A]

I love it. I can truly picture it.

[C]

That's all unfortunate. I'm picturing now is William Daniels in his underwear, and I'm kind of wishing I never brought it up.

[A]

Hands on his hips, Captain Fantastic underwear riding his scooter.

[C]

Oh, that'd be awesome.

[A]

So we're going to give you a little background on Kim Possible. Created by veteran kids TV writers Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle for the Disney Channel, the animated action comedy ran for four seasons or 87 episodes from 2002 to 2007. The titular character, Kim Possible, is a high schooler tasked with saving the world on an episodic basis while also dealing with the rigorous ups and downs of adolescence. She has her clumsy best friend, slash sidekick Ron stoppable, and a 10 year old computer genius named Wade, known collectively as Team Possible. They primarily find themselves trying to stop the evil doings of the mad scientist Supervillain duo of Dr. Drakken and Shadow Shego. Did I get that right?

[C]

You did. You did.

[A]

Geez. Will, do you remember how this job came to you? I know you said you remember that everybody read for it, including Neil Patrick Harris and John Cena. Allegedly. How did you hear about it?

[C]

Disney called. You know, I was, I was still big in the Disney family. I was doing, we'd finished Boy meets World in 2000, but in between I had done a whole lot of different shows for Disney through my, you know, I, I, there are these things called hold deals. So as Boy Meets World was wrapping up, Disney kept signing me to these hold deals which essentially just said, we'll give you money if you just don't go to another network. Right now. We don't necessarily have anything for you right now in the, in the moment, but we'd like to hold you to our network for a little while and it's like a six month hold or something like that. So I did a number of those hold deals in a row because they were trying to find me different projects and I had done a number of shows from them. And then Disney Channel called and said, we have this thing called Kim Possible. Do you want to come in? And I can't remember if I read. I must have. I mean that's one of the joys of the animation side of the industry is very rarely it's happened to me occasionally it's usually for small roles, but very rarely are you just offered things.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

Even people that are. Do the voice of SpongeBob, you know, Tom Kenny, even these big actors, we all still audition. It's just your voice is gonna work or your voice isn't gonna work. It's kind of a great. One of the things I love so much about the animation side of the industry. So I'm sure I went in and I read, you know, they sat down and I remember distinctly meeting Mark and Bob, who are two just incredibly talented animation writers. And we, we all got along really well. And Chris Bailey was our original director. And yeah, we just kind of clicked. I can't remember if I met Christie right off the bat or not, but it was. Yeah, it was a fun process.

[D]

Okay, so I have so many questions because I've never seen the show. I was in the show Black Boy Meets and watched it and then watched this episode and I don't know what's happening. Why is she a hero? How did she become a superhero? She doesn't have powers.

[C]

Nope.

[D]

She just.

[C]

She's a cheerleader.

[D]

She's the flying thing.

[C]

Backpack.

[D]

A 10 year old helping her with technology.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

So like, what is her? How does this come about? What happens?

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

Okay, you never, you know, we don't ever find the origin story.

[C]

I don't know. We might have.

[D]

So the pilot just starts with her already being Kim Possible.

[C]

That's possible. I don't know.

[A]

Have you never seen it?

[C]

I have, I have. I haven't seen them in a lot. I mean, like I've seen the movie and I've seen an episode here or there. If there are certain, you know, famous episodes of Kim Possible. For the most part though, I have not watched Kim Possible since it aired. I watched it when it was on.

[D]

I don't think she discovers something that makes her into Kim Possible.

[C]

No, I think I recall old school. Like they do flashback episodes. Cause I remember her in braces and stuff like that. So I think she find. I think we do see how she went on her first mission kind of of thing. But I don't remember what it was.

[D]

I'm totally. Because I, I thought it was so interesting that she doesn't have a secret identity.

[A]

No.

[D]

Like everyone knows that this teenager who's a cheerleader is also fighting crime.

[C]

Yeah. And they do a lot of really cool things. The things I do remember, like for instance, because she obviously, when the show starts, isn't old enough to drive somebody that she's previously saved in the past, who's usually wealthy, gets her to her mission. So it always starts with, like, her on a private jet, and it's Britney Spears, but it's not. It's, you know, Whitney tears, right?

[A]

And.

[C]

And she's like, hey, thank. Thanks so much for taking me to hear Whitney. It's like, oh, are you kidding, Kim? I never would have made it to my last concert without you. So it's always every week, it's like some other person taking her somewhere to go do this. But no, she has no secret identity. She's just. And she has to fit in crime fighting along with cheerleading and, I believe, babysitting. So it's like she has to do all that stuff.

[A]

It was the Disney Channel's second original animated program. The Proud Family was the first, and it was a critical and fan favorite. It spawned two made for TV, movies, toys, video games, and a 2019 live action movie that I believe Will hates.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Also, fun fact, Kim Possible has a crossover episode with Lilo and Stitch.

[C]

It does. I got to be on Lilo. It was fun.

[A]

So fun. The show featured an almost uncountable amount of guest stars, from Vivica A. Fox to Michael Clark Duncan to Adam west to Mark Hamill to one Ryder Strong, who we will hear on the episode we are recapping today. Ryder, you have already said you did not ever watch the episodes, even the ones you were on. So was this your first ever Kim Possible episode?

[D]

Yeah, I guess so.

[A]

Mine too.

[D]

I'm not even sure.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, first watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never seen it. I feel like I had absorbed a lot of it just from going to cons with Will and, like, hanging out with Christy and, like, so I kind of got the gist. But, yeah, like, I ended up having more questions, like, how did she become a superhero?

[A]

How do I have no idea what the rat on Will's shoulder is? No, that's Rufus.

[C]

That's his naked mole rap.

[A]

What is. Why is he there?

[D]

Why is he.

[C]

Because. Well, this is how you have to listen to the naked mole rap that I did. So Ron always wanted a pet, but his father's allergic to everything with hair, so the only thing that he could get is a naked mole rat. Who's Rufus? Who is voiced by the amazing Nancy Cartwright, who does the voice of Bart Simpson.

[D]

Oh, and why is Ron helping Kim all the time?

[C]

They're best friends, and she needs a sidekick.

[A]

Okay, okay, let's jump into our recap. We are recapping Kim Possible, Season 1, Episode 15. All the news. It originally aired November 1, 2002. The synopsis, Kim and Ron exposed TV stuntwoman Adrenaline as a fraud. And Ron's exaggerated profile of Kim for the school newspaper results in the star quarterback asking Kim on an unwanted date.

[D]

That's me.

There you are. It was directed by Chris Bailey, who also worked on another Y2K cartoon in a very similar style to Kim Possible. Clerks, the Animated Series. It was written by Laura McCreary, who has went on to work on a bunch of sitcoms like Young Rock, American Dad, Brooklyn Nine Nine and Superstore, to name a few. It stars Christy Carlson Romano as Kim Possible, Will Friedle as Ron Stoppable, Nancy Cartwright, also known as Bart Simpson, as Rufus, Taj Mowry as Wade Load, Gary Cole as Dr. James Timothy Possible and Jean Smart, one of TV's most popular characters in 2025. Deborah Vance on Hacks as the voice of Doctor and then guest starring in this episode. Some names worth pointing out. Nestor Carbonell, who I know from Lost. SNL's Rachel Dratch, who is the villain in the episode we watched. The great Steven Root from Office Space as Barry and Ryder Strong as dummy football star Brick Flag, a role he was born to play. Writer. Do you think one of the reasons you got the call for this is because they knew your connection to Will, or do you think it was just Rand?

[D]

I have to assume it's because it was a Boy Meets World connection.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Cause it was an offer in contrast to what Will just happened.

[A]

Will had to audition. You just got auditioned.

[C]

Yikes.

[D]

Some people get the job this episode to start. And I was in college in New York, so I just got a call like, oh, they want you to do this thing. Will's show. I was like, oh, cool. And went to a recording booth. I guess I talked to Chris via satellite. I just remember the director and having the conversation and getting into it and. Yeah. And now it's really fun to see what it was. Yeah, yeah. Outside of what I was doing, I had no clue what was happening.

[A]

What was happening with the show. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

And I still kind of don't.

[A]

I don't. I watched the episode. I had to watch it in two parts. There were so many things going on. I am not sure what I watched. But let's jump into the recap. We start in the school hallway. Kim swings open her locker and a slip of papers flutter out of her high tech computer. She reaches for it, but before she can grab it, Ron swoops in, snatching it midair. Don't Touch that. Ron yanks out an entire stack of papers that have piled up, including the one still clutched in her hand. No offense, KP but that's very sensitive material. She crosses her arms. Really? Then Rufus, Ron's naked mole rat sidekick, crawls onto Ron's shoulder and says, Ron explains, it's a story I'm writing for the school paper. Hard hitting stuff. Kim reminds him, you're not on the paper, Ron. They keep turning you down. No offense. Ron is adamant. This is going to turn them around. It's an edgy expose. I call. And then we cut to the school newsroom. The editor of the paper is studying Ron's title. Math. You'll never actually use it in the real world.

[C]

It's not wrong.

[A]

I love math. Ron brags. I'm already working on a follow up piece about semicolons. The editor has a thought, but is interrupted by a phone call. She barks into the receiver, no comment is totally unacceptable. I don't care if she's the principal and your mother. I want that story. And she slams the phone down and throws the papers at Ron. You're giving me nothing here. Stoppable. Where's the edge, the angle? Do you want to get on the paper? Write a story that makes me care? Ron clutches the papers close to his chest. I'll do it. I'm a born reporter. I can smell a story a mile away. He confidently basks in his determination with his eyes closed. Then he quickly realizes he's got nothing. Maybe Kim has an idea.

[D]

And this is where, this is where I started. My, my, my big like, questions behind this show was like, okay, so we've talked about this a lot, like how you have stakes, you know, like, how do you have stakes in a kid's show? And I found it so interesting that the stakes here are still primarily like normal high school stuff, you know, like.

[A]

Ron wants to get on the high school paper.

[D]

Right. And you know, I guess for Kim having to deal with a date, a football, wanting to date her. Yeah. Okay. But then everybody knows that they're saving the world every day.

[A]

Sure. Yeah.

[D]

Doesn't that seem more important? No, of course not. Wouldn't they be like, ron, I think it's actually.

[C]

No, I think it's actually perfect because when you're in high school, there is nothing more important than your everyday, daily whatever's going out of high school. It is the end of like literally hearing that something's going on in another part of the world. It's not nearly as important as who likes who. That day in the hallway of the high school, like, that's what I think is kind of so genius about the show.

[D]

But then Kim doesn't seem to care that much about. Is that normal? Like that she kind of doesn't care that much about what's going on in high school. That it's more Ron. That's like.

[C]

It depends what. Yeah. There's certain episodes where things happen where you know who's gonna go to prom and who you're gonna ask. And then it gets in. As the show gets later, it's Ron and Kim actually. Spoiler alert. Actually get together and the whole story is about can a friendship, you know, do you overlook the person in front of you?

[A]

You guys start dating?

[C]

Yeah, we're together for a whole season. They fall in love, Fall fully in love and kiss at the dance.

[D]

The possible stoppable romance.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Wait, aren't you guys. Isn't there like quite a. Quite an age gap?

[C]

No, we're the same age. The same age. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[D]

Ron was younger.

[A]

Yeah. No, Ron was like. And I think of.

[D]

He is mature faster than boys.

[A]

He has like annoying little brother vibes.

[C]

Well, yeah, he's supposed to have annoying. He's supposed to be annoying sidekick, but that's. The whole thing is she's been overlooking him and he falls for.

[A]

Then the annoying sidekick also has an annoying sidekick with the mole rat. Okay, wow.

[C]

Wait a second. Wow. Rufus is not annoying. He's amazing.

[D]

And then where is Wade? He's only 10 years old.

[C]

Wade is 10. He's a 10 year old computer genius and he never leaves his house.

[A]

Right. Wade and Ron seem the same. Like the same to me.

[C]

They're not at all. By the way, this is. If you watch. Since this is the only episode you've seen and we. I've talked about this at conventions. My voice changes so much over the seasons.

[D]

Yeah, well, I heard it right away. I was like, that's not the unstoppable voice that I've heard.

[C]

So yeah, at the end, he's all the way. Kp what are we doing? We can't be here. Whereas this one was like, k. Hey, Kim, what's going. It was totally different. Yeah.

[D]

So, okay, so how does Wade get roped into the superhero trio?

[A]

Let's wait till we get to Wade. Let's wait. We get here is where we get the Kim Possible intro and a pretty iconic R and B theme song from singer Christina Milian. And it's basically about pagers and beepers, which is. I just love it. It's a total jam and it's not very traditional for a cartoon. So then we are on the football field. The Milton cheer team, led by Kim Possible. They're practicing on the field. After a strenuous routine, Kim tells them to take five. Now alone, Ron appears and immediately asks Kim for a favor. He needs a favor and an angle. Kim can't help but remembers how cocky he was earlier. Why ask me? Your. Kim walks away and Ron pulls out his notepad as the football team passes by on their way to the locker room. Okay, okay, which one of you is failing a class but is still playing in this weekend's game? No one answers, so Ron becomes frustrated. He shouts, come on, one of you has to be failing at something. Catching the attention of one player. We return to Kim, who's on the sidelines packing her things. A few seconds later, Ron comes flying through the air and crashes face first next to Kim. Defeated, he sarcastically declares, I've got my story. Football team full of nice, great guys who are not failing anything. Then star quarterback Rick Flag walks up, stepping on Ron's back and giving Kim a nonchalant, do it, Ryder.

[D]

Is it? Hey. Is that what I said?

[A]

Hey. Surprised by his acknowledgment, she stutters, hey back. And he follows it up by awkwardly complimenting her cheerleading outfit. Kim responds even more awkwardly, thanks, it's my size. Brick continues to compliment her. You know, I think what you do is really amazing. Kim shrugs. Aw. Saving the world is no big. Brick clarifies.

[D]

Huge deal.

[C]

It is not.

[D]

It's not. She downplays it. It's not a big thing. So interesting to me that, like, the pitch for this show positions her as super popular, a cheerleader, and saving the world. Because you think about Spider Man. The whole point is that he's saving the world, but Peter Parker is this nerdy guy at school that nobody notices and he's gotta play that. It's interesting that they remove any of that dynamic. She's just.

[C]

Well, it's also because every villain is just super bumbling and ridiculous and. Okay, so something is coming back to me. I believe what happens is she's, like, going to her first babysitting gig. Or she thinks she is, but something gets screwed up with the website and she actually ends up, like, saving the world by accident. And then so she changes her website.

[A]

Malfunction.

[C]

Yeah. And so she changes her website to then save the world. And Wade gets involved by going to the website and essentially saying, hey, I have information about this guy. And then he starts becoming Part of the team and like builds the communicator and does all that kind of stuff.

[D]

Which is, which is perfect because at the time 2001, 2002, the whole notion of like a website and using the Internet would have been mostly young people who knew what, what was going on. And all the adults would have been like, what is, what are these things? Internet funny.

[C]

Yeah. So that's, that's what happened. Yeah.

[D]

Okay, that, that makes sense. Yeah.

[A]

So Brick clarifies. I mean, how you're always spelling stuff in your cheers. It's so C, O, O, L. He laughs, but stops himself quickly. That's cool. Right before she can answer, he walks off. Ron pops up with a huge grin on his face. Kim asks, why are you looking at me like that? And he reveals, because I found my story. I'm going to interview you. The Kim Possible and Kim. I won't accept anything less than the hard hitting truth. I have to say. By the way, this was set up with Brick coming in and like him saying he liked her outfit and her not knowing how to respond to that. I actually thought she did like him. I was like, oh, she obviously has a crush on him. She doesn't know how to respond to this attention. Like she likes this guy.

[D]

But no, instead it seems like she's just not interested in dating at all or she's asexual.

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

Well, no, there was a big thing. So she go, apparently is huge in the, the gay community.

[A]

Like, but that's not.

[C]

No, no. But a lot of people think it. There was something going on between Kim and Shigo. Oh, that's like, became the big thing in the fanfic family. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[A]

So now at Kim Possible's house, Kim, Ron and her brothers Jim and Tim are watching tv. It's a reality show where a teenage girl named Adrenaline is dropped into the woods without any food or and tries to survive while handcuffed to a bear.

[D]

This was like so 2000, early 2000s commentary on what was happening. Exactly. Reality shows were brand new and the idea of like Survivor, the show. But then also I was thinking back like this was the time of like David Blaine. Do you remember when they would do like all those weird stunts where he'd be like, I'm in a glass cube for three weeks.

[C]

But it was also the time of Jackass where the kids were doing everything that Jackass was doing. It's like kid breaks his arm by trying to jump off a thing. So it was like the same stuff.

[D]

So funny.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Kim is on pins and Needles, she jokes. At least the bear won't go hungry. The boys join in on the show's big catchphrase. What will she do next? Kim rolls her eyes. Ron, I thought you came over to interview me. He isn't hearing it at the commercial. Got any chips? Then? The show's announcer teases, next they'll go fishing for their lives. Kim turns off the TV and the boy's all grown. She says this show is a mind numbing waste of satellite frequencies. Ron nods in agreement. You're right. Besides, I'm taping it at home. Kim lectures them some kid is going to get hurt trying to imitate that girl. Stunts on cues Tim says to Jim, let's see if we can sneak into the bear cage at the zoo. Like Adrenaline. Jim shoots up, Cool. Tim grabs a piece of steak and ties it to his head. Jim follows his lead and they run off yelling who Shah. In excitement.

[C]

That's so there's Kim. Possible's famous for catchphrases. That's just what they did. So booyah was Ron's. What's the sitch was Kim's. And the two twins were always Hiccupoo Husha.

[D]

And they never.

[C]

You never knew what any of them meant. They just made up catchphrases. Yep.

[A]

Ron asks Kim, aren't you going to stop them? Kim shrugs. Nah, the zoo's locked this time of night. With the boys gone, she's ready. All right, let's get this hard hitting interview over with. By the way, that felt like a Disney note. Yeah, it felt like we have to acknowledge that someone would go after them, that she saves the world. Like full, full Disney. No, it's locked. It's locked.

[C]

She's not getting. I also want a meath, but that's.

[A]

A whole different thing now with the boys gone. She's ready. All right, let's get this hard hitting interview over with. Ron sets up the recorder on a coffee table and begins very professionally. So what's it like to be you? Kim just folds her arms in annoyance. Now in Adrenaline's van, TV star Adrenaline is boasting to her cameraman. Ratings are up, Merchandise sales are up. He responds with concern. Copycat incidents are up too. Adrenaline scoffs. It means they're watching. Not my fault if the little dweebs aren't careful. The cameraman wonders maybe they don't get it that you fake the stunts. Then glances at the bear, now docile, sleeping in the back of the van. Adrenaline has heard enough. Whatever. The point is if we're going to stay on top. The next stunt has to be bigger, more extreme. She gives a devious smile. I'm thinking bungee. Freaky. Lots of freaky.

[D]

This foil. You know, it's interesting that she's like the self promoting, fake powerful woman, you know, like, as opposed to Kim, who's like, really just saving the world, does not want to. Does not want to have to do interviews unless Ron is forcing her to do it. And then you have the opposite, you know, which is.

[A]

Well, if you're gonna be a hero, everyone needs to know that you should also be humble about it.

[D]

Right?

[C]

Of course.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Wait, Ryder, you've bungee'd and skydived, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Bungee jumping seems like it would be far more scary.

[D]

Am I wrong? Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Wait, I'm wrong or yes, it's far more scary.

[D]

Yes, it's far more scary.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Because you can see the ground, right? To step off the ledge, I mean, like when you. Well, also, I skydive tandem, so it wasn't me doing it, you know, somebody else or somebody was on my back, right. You know, stepping out of the plane. But there's something about the distance at the height that is like, yes, you're far enough away. It's more abstract, you know? Whereas when you're stepping off the ledge of a bungee, you're like, oh, God, I'm. I'm falling.

[C]

Which one was more fun?

[D]

I. God, that's a good question. I don't know. I was so young, man, I would not. I would never do either. Now that's the thing, like nowadays, I won't do either of these things. I actually had more fun bungee jumping, I think. Okay, yeah, I could see that too.

[C]

Because you kind of bounce up and you do that.

[D]

But I was 15, you know, no clue what was going on.

[C]

I get for smoking at 15. But you're jumping off of buildings and.

[D]

Everyone'S like, cool, I signed a waiver.

[A]

I think more people have died smoking from smoking than people have died from bungee jumping.

[C]

Way more people die from bungee jumping.

[A]

So then we're in Ron's bedroom. Ron is hard at work listening back to his interview with Kim. We hear her explain, I'm not so different from anyone else, except that, you know, I have an arch foe or two. Rufus shakes his head. He's not impressed. Ron agrees, you're right. After watching Adrenaline wrestle a bear, Kim kind of pales in comparison. Ron rewinds the tapes to a different section. Kim says, sure, I'm busy. But what teenage girl isn't Ron rewinds the tape again. Boring. He asks Rufus, where's the angle? He presses play again and Kim admits, it feels good to help people. Ron has heard enough. He slams his head down on his desk while Rufus pretends to gag. We hear more from Kim. We have an awesome team this year. Brick Flag was totally hot in last week's game. Ron and Rufus's eyes widen. Ron replays the line. Brick Flag was totally hot. Ron has struck gold. He replays it over and over again. Totally hot. Totally hot. Totally hot.

[D]

It's the invention of clickbait.

[A]

Yes, that's right.

[D]

From the Survivor, like the reality show exploitation era into the influencer era. We're seeing it all here, guys. The show was ahead of its time.

[C]

It was.

[A]

Ron has got his story. Then we're back in the school hallway. Kim shuts her locker and is approached by a cheerleader with the school newspaper. Kim, I think it is so great what you did. Kim needs more detail. Which was. The cheerleader explains, I mean, to risk utter embarrassment and total rejection like that. She reveals the headline to Kim. Cheerleader Kim Possible thinks quarterback Brick Flag is hot by Ron Stoppable. The cheerleader tries to reassure Kim before she walks away. We'll totally be here for you for when he dumps you. Then, right on time. A confident Brick Flag appears. So, Kim, you think I'm hot? Kim tries to explain. Actually, what I think I said was. Brick interrupts her. Cool. What are you doing Friday night? Kim, trying to politely say no, tells Brick. Well, nothing. I mean, I mean nothing with you. Brick, who is not getting the message, simply asks, pick you up at 8? Kim stutters, oh, I. But before she can dissuade him, Brick turns to some nearby guys. Hey, she thinks I'm hot. Then he struts off. Kim hides her face in her hands. And then we're in the school cafeteria. Ron is grabbing some food when Kim comes charging at him. So I think Brick Flag is hot. A nearby student overhears her and exclaims, it's true. She just said it herself.

[C]

So high school.

[A]

It's so high school. Ron excitedly asks Kim. Did you see it? My name in lights. Well, in ink, actually, but still. Kim slams her tray down. You ferociously misquoted me. Ron defends himself. Whoa. I may have done a tiny bit of rephrasing, but come on, you'd think a crime fighting cheerleader would give a more interesting interview. The paper liked my story so much, they're giving me a column. It's his turn to order food. So he says, I'll have an omelet, whites only. The lunch lady proceeds to slop a brown pile of mush onto his plate. Ron tells Kim she must not know who I am. Kim says, I'm not sure I know who you are. But Ron continues to bask in his newfound fame. So I'm thinking I should cover the big date with the Brickster. What time should I be ready then? Two girls. Bum rush. Ron, you have to sit with us. And I'm having a little get together tonight. No biggie. Just 50 of my closest friends. You have to do a write up for the paper? Ron wonders. I do. She explains. How else will the social outcasts know what they've missed? Ron innocently suggests you could invite them. But both girls break out into hysterical laughter. Ron, you are so funny. He shrugs at Kim. Check you later, kp. Duty calls. Haha. He said duty.

[C]

I thought the same thing last night. I was like, oh, Danielle's gonna say he said duty.

[A]

Kim sits down at a lunch table with her food. And then Brickley quickly slides up next to her. Hey, Kim, nice lunch.

[D]

Did you say Brickly?

[C]

Quickly? He did.

[A]

Quickly.

[D]

Quickly.

[A]

I'm keeping it. We are holding on to it. She eases into it. Thanks. Listen, I'm glad you're here. He laughs. I'm glad I'm here too. And he leans in closer. Kim pumps the brakes. No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean about Friday night. I. I'm just not sure if Brick interrupts her again if we should do dinner or a movie. I had the same debate, but then it hit me. Hot dogs at the theater. Kim's phone goes off and she gasps with relief. It's Wade on her communicator. It's an early version of FaceTime. She pleads with him. Save me. Brooke sneaks a look. Hey, you're Kim's computer dude. Everybody knows everything about.

[C]

Of course she's world famous. She's a world famous Save the Worlder person.

[D]

So why doesn't she leave school? Like at this point, a career lady like you're saving the world.

[A]

She's not making money paying her for that.

[D]

I mean, we were dropping out of school for a TV show. My God. I think Kim could take a break.

[C]

Because she's got some cheerleader and she's also the head cheerleader. That's very important.

[D]

Why is that important? Who? It's important to her.

[C]

She loves it. But I also love that Ron's instantly popular the second he starts lying. Essentially.

[A]

So. Exactly.

[C]

It is clickbait.

[A]

Wade retorts. And you're that. Kim thinks you're hot, dude. Brick proudly smirks. Yeah. Yeah, that's me. Kim starts to get up from the table. Excuse me, I have to go. She tells Brick she'll see him on Friday. Then we're in the school hallway. Kim swings open her locker and focuses on Wade on her communicator. He jokes. He seems nice. Kim rolls her eyes. Okay, spit it out, computer dude. Wade reveals. You got an im. Pop Pop Porter, the Frozen Food King. He needs your help. Apparently, he's been robbed. This is where I was like, do. Do we need one more storyline? Do we need. Of course we need.

[D]

We need the action storyline. We need the actual. Right. I know.

[C]

She's got to save the world, too.

[A]

That's the whole point. Also, you got an I am Pop Pop Porter, the FR Food King. Like, we're already adding another storyline. Maybe they could have simplified.

[C]

Are you kidding?

[A]

Any aspect of this one.

[C]

This from you, with everything you're doing in your life. You just said Dancing with the Stars and everything.

[A]

I like, you know, children and everything. You lie.

[C]

You had a storyline a week to your life.

[A]

You know what? Last night, watching this show, I felt like this is the thing that throws me over the edge. This adding in another show with. With.

[D]

Fine.

[A]

Fine.

[D]

Easy. Impossible. Adding a third story.

[A]

I see. Can I see line?

[D]

No.

[C]

Can I ask a question? Did either of you watch this with your children?

[A]

No.

[D]

No.

[A]

Why? I have barely seen my children.

[C]

Then this is a perfect time to sit them down and stare at a screen together.

[A]

That's my parenting would not be able to follow these storylines. I am Pop Pop Porter, the Frozen Food King. Give me a break. Before Kim can even respond, Ron appears with his notepad. I smell a scoop. Kim pushes him away and asks Wade what was stolen. Now we're at Pop Pop Porter's, the owner of the establishment. Pop Pop Porter cries out, my Pop. Popcorn shrimp. Kim looks around his warehouse filled with blimps and asks, pop Pop, you brought us out here because someone stole a crustacean? I don't get it. Pop Pop Porter gasps. Shrimp Force One was my favorite. He begins to cry. My favorite. Ron asks. A blimp should be easy enough to spot. Kim takes out her kimmunicator and asks Wade to search for UFO sightings. Anything about Earth being invaded by giant sea creatures. Wade gets to work. Let's see. Giant pig in Belize. Pterodactyls in Pittsburgh. Then Wade finds it. Giant shrimp attacks New York City.

[C]

Yeah.

But we're focusing on my favorite, the wax strips. It makes for the easiest wax ever and it lasts up to four weeks, all while minimizing hair regrowth and most importantly, saving me time. I have a podcast to record, a little League practice to watch, and a bedtime of 8.30pm Nair is an actual lifesaver.

[C]

You can achieve salon quality results at home, leaving you with stress free, soft, silky skin. Or as I like to call it.

[D]

The triple S. You heard the man. Get ready for summer. Buy Nair wax strips at Walmart, Walgreens or cvs.

[A]

Then we're in the busy streets of New York City. Cars are honking at each other, surrounded by skyscrapers. We see a large shrimp blimp slowly pass by. The duo are on the ground. Wade, still on the communicator, tells them you're on target. I'm tracking the blimp to just around the corner. Ron and Kim run down the street and start hearing a woman repeat the word what over and over again over a speaker. Kim recognizes that voice. Then the shrimp blimp hovers right over them. And Ron notices something. It's Adrenaline. The TV star yells whaaaat Again. Now coming directly from the blimp. Everyone in the streets except Kim finishes the catchphrase and pumps their fist. Will she do next? Ron can't believe it. What a story. He pulls his camera out and is impressed. Adrenaline is a real hero. But Kim reminds him she stole that blimp. Ron is offended. This is art, kp. Sacrifices must be made. Adrenaline is now hanging out of the side of the shrimp blimp. Tonight, I will attempt the ultimate extreme action. Will bungee jump from this blimp blindfolded. Freaky. On cue, she jumps.

[C]

I'm sorry, but isn't this is the only thing. This is my only problem with the episode because other than that, it's perfect television. Isn't blindfolding yourself make it less scary?

[A]

No. Yeah, I would think. No.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Because I would want to see when it's over. No. For me, knowing like when the rope is going to kind of bounce back would at least give me something to look forward to. Like, okay, I'm almost to the end of the rope. Having no visual idea I think would make would be scarier for me, but I could see both arguments.

[D]

Yeah, I would say blindfold would make it so much easier.

[A]

Okay. Having done it, I will trust your judgment.

[C]

That's what I would think too.

[A]

On cue, she jumps, but her bungee rope snaps. Everyone in the crowd starts screaming as she beelines to the ground. And then tense commercial.

[D]

Was it part of the plan?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Was it supposed to snap?

[C]

Yes. Probably to make it. To give it more.

[A]

And then she ends up being fine.

[D]

Where nobody can see her. And then she appears.

[C]

Correct.

[D]

Totally.

[C]

Right. That's why nobody saw Kim Saver.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

What's the problem? Is it a magic trick?

[A]

You know, because I thought the same thing. Then she appears. She's like, haha, I'm fine. And no one goes, wait, how did that happen?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Right. There's no answer.

[C]

It's like, it's like how. How does she get out of being handcuffed to a bear?

[A]

It's like you don't ever see it. Like if I met with a magic trick, you'd see it happen and be like, what?

[C]

Yeah, she's faking it. It.

[A]

Well, when we return, adrenaline is still free falling. Kim thinks fast and transforms her backpack into a rocket, launching her into the sky. She grabs adrenaline as she descends.

[D]

Do we know where she got this flying rocket?

[A]

She has it. It's all she has. All kinds of tools to save the world.

[C]

She gets everything from weight. I think we. We did establish that in our lives. Wade is Q. Wade is her Q. Yeah, right.

[A]

But as she holds her in her arms, a wig and a blindfold come off and reveal it was just a dummy. Kim groans, okay, that's really annoying. Then the real adrenaline proclaims. Freaky. She's pridefully standing on top of a building, pretending like she just pulled the stunt off. The announcer yells, she's okay. And the crowd cheers. Ron starts photographing the now heralded adrenaline. She made it. Rufus, my friend. Guess who got a front page photo? But after a few shots, he notices Kim still holding the dummy, now on top of another nearby building. Ron can't believe his eyes. It can't be. It was just a dummy. She didn't even fall. See, this is convoluted. This is convicted. This is convoluted.

[D]

So nobody saw Kim save her.

[A]

No one saw Kim save her. No one is expecting an answer for how she still ended up okay even though the bungee cord snapped. Just by saying she's okay, everyone's like, great. I buy it, whatever it was.

[D]

What's the problem?

[C]

I don't see the problem.

[D]

Yeah, it's a little mix between like. Like I was saying, like, the David Blaine magic trick factor, where it's like, how did she do it? Or she's actually doing something extreme and cool and surviving it. It's kind of doing both. And I'm just. Yes, okay.

[A]

Right, right. All right. We're back in the school hallway with the big game on Saturday. Back at the lockers, Kim begs Ron to just get over it already, but he can't. Sorry, kp, but discovering that your action hero is a big fake is not something you can just get over.

[D]

In general, I think my problem with this show or my criticism of the show, my inability to understand this show, is that it seems like all the good ideas are thrown at every character at once. So it's like Kim is cheerleader, super popular, regular high schooler and a superhero and awesome at that.

[C]

And the same way the tagline is literally Kim possible. She can do anything.

[A]

She can do it.

[D]

But then even the villain is also like. It's like if you have one idea, you don't counterbalance it at all. It's like a hat and a ha. Another hat. And they're all like, okay, she's all of Those things for everybody. Yeah, okay.

[C]

It's a cartoon for 10 year old girls.

[A]

Kim scoffs. And this is coming from a wrestling fan. And I loved the crossover of all of our interests.

[C]

Ron is a huge wrestling fan.

[A]

I love that. He shrugs. I don't get the connection. Kim opens her locker and gets Wade's newest video report. Looks like Pop Pop Porter got so much publicity he's not pressing charges for the blimp theft. Back to that storyline, which I could have forgotten about, right?

[D]

Pop Pop.

[C]

Who?

[A]

Pop Pop Porter and his stolen blimp. I didn't need to go back to.

[D]

What about stolen blimp? Everyone's a sellout. Everyone's a sellout is the idea. So like, hey, man, if you get.

[C]

The clicks, you got the good publicity, you get the clicks, then it. Then it works.

[A]

Ron is furious. So she's getting away with it. Wade reveals. Well, I was able to highlight the key areas on that photo file. And with that, he prints them out. A piece of paper. And Ron starts reading it to Kim. She calls herself Extreme, the big fake. Kim sarcastically adds, with Ron in mind. Imagine that. Lying to the public just to build your own reputation. Ron doesn't get the irony. Disgusting.

[C]

Snap.

[A]

Well, adrenaline might get a pass from Pop Pop, but Ron Stoppable smells a story. We see a spinning newspaper with the headline Adrenaline a Fake. And the next day, they're back at Kim's locker as she's watching the news. The anchor woman reports. And in our top story, Ron Stoppable of the Middleton High School newspaper reports that extreme teen adrenaline is an extreme fake. Ron comes running over. I'm in the paper too. I'm national, baby. Kim reads the article out loud. Ace reporter Ron Stoppable, heralded for breaking the story of TV fake Adrenaline's ratings plummet faster than her fake fall. Kim is annoyed. Can this get any more annoying? Then her communicator rings. It's Wade. He alerts Kim. It's your brothers. We're in the hospital. Kim is confused. You were doing what? Jim, who had a broken arm, answers, bungee jumping out of a blimp. Like adrenaline. Tim, with a broken leg, adds, only we didn't have a blimp, so we used the roof. Jim pipes back in. And we didn't have a bungee cord, so we used Yarn. Their dad, Dr. James Timothy Possible, is there as well. That adrenaline is a menace. Their mom, Dr. Ann Possible, adds, and she didn't really bungee jump out of a blimp. Don't you boys watch the news? Jim responds, nah, the only show we watch is Adrenaline. Then Jim realizes, hey, it's time. And he clicks on the tv. Be it's a different newscaster. And reports that Adrenaline is a fake. Coupled with a rash of copycat stunts across the country. That's us. Tim exclaims as he tries to high five his ailing brother. The reporter continues, it has prompted this network to cancel Adrenaline in favor of more responsible programming.

[D]

Least realistic part of the whole episode.

[A]

Absolutely no network would cancel it.

[D]

Pick that up, double it. Tonight's programming. All a drama.

[A]

Everyone gets a raise.

[C]

Have any of you ever tried to imitate anything you ever saw on screen as a kid? Did you ever, like, try to fly or.

[D]

I mean, I definitely recreated action sequences in my living room. Like, I remember, like, watching along with Friends and being like, no, I'm Indiana Jones running away from the ball.

[C]

And, you know.

[D]

So you'd recreate scenes. But no, no, no.

[A]

I would copy Oprah. I would sit and interview people. I would sit in my sink with a hairbrush as a microphone, and I would. And I would interview. And I would interview people. That's the only thing I. Yeah.

[C]

Why are you sitting in a sink?

[A]

Because I could face myself in the mirror like a camera, So I would sit in my sink. I also sat in my sink to do my makeup until I was, like, 30 years old.

[C]

Like, you literally get up and sit. How do you.

[A]

How. With the.

[C]

With the thing hanging over?

[A]

Well, it doesn't always hang over. Sometimes your sink is flush to your countertop. But even still, I would. I would sit. I did have, like, a. Just a little uncomfortable on your rear end. But when I do my makeup, I like to get really up close to, like, do my mascara and stuff. And so standing in front of a counter where I have to then lean over, I would just prefer to be as close as possible. So I sat in my sink to do all kinds of things. Interview people, do my makeup.

[D]

Yes, Will, I do remember Shiloh, and I heard that people went over Niagara Falls and barrels.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

So we had a barrel at our house. And there was a big hill off the side of our house that went down into the redwood forest. We would get in the barrel and roll each other down. Hurt ourselves so badly that the only thing we could do, we decided then we needed padding. So we inflated, like, a raft that you would use in a pool, like an inflatable raft. We inflated one of those and put it in the barrel as padding. But I was the only one small enough to fit so my neighbor Hayes and Shiloh would stuff me in the barrel and. And throw me down the hill and see how far I could get. The goal was to go as far as we could through the woods, banging into trees like smokes.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

And then eventually I wore a motorcycle helmet and the padding. But like I said, I was the only one, so that was lots of days.

[A]

I'm so lucky.

[D]

No brain damage.

[C]

Didn't you just say that?

[A]

So stay tuned for an extra hour of Stuff on Fire. A satisfactory Sounds like a great show.

[C]

By the way, Watch that all day.

[A]

A satisfied Kim turns off the tv. Excellent. Now I can focus on the looming disaster in my social life. On the football field, the cheerleaders are once again practicing their routine for the big game. They're interrupted by Ron, surrounded by a posse. Looking good, kp. Ron has become very Hollywood very quickly. Oh, don't worry, baby. I'm not going to forget about the little people who got me where I am today. I'll be there Friday night to cover your date with Brick. With that, an excited Brick comes running over. Cool. Our date's gonna be, like, newsworthy. Kim sighs and throws her pom poms in the air. She has to do something. Brick, wait. We need to talk. Brick nervously asks, did you just say we need to talk? That's exactly what Amelia said last year when she dumped me. He quickly corrects himself. I mean, when we, you know, broke up. Kim clarifies. Well, you can't really call it breaking up if we haven't even. Brick interrupts her. I was a wreck. I totally blew it in the big game against Eastside. He lets that sink in and smiles. So what did you want to talk to me about, Kim? Size? Just that. I can't wait for Friday either.

[D]

So here's the question.

[A]

Why does she care so much about the game on Saturday? Why doesn't she just go?

[C]

She can't let her school.

[D]

Yeah. Even if you lose, take one for the team.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

No, it's a bad, bad, bad message for girls.

[C]

I agree.

[D]

Well, here's a question. Is Brick really this dumb or is he manipulating her? Yeah, I think he's manipulating.

[A]

He's gaslighting her.

[D]

He's gaslighting her.

[A]

He's a narcissist.

[C]

Exactly. If you do not go out with.

[D]

Me, if you don't go out with me, the whole. The whole team's gonna lose you. What other school's depending on you to sleep with me? Kim, what other.

[A]

Wait, now, pseudo pop terms can we.

[D]

Use yeah, you better. You better put out Kim, because otherwise I don't know if I can make the game.

[A]

Yeah, the game. And she goes, oh, the game is important for my cheerleading life.

[D]

I can. I can. Yeah.

[C]

I think you guys are really giving Kim Possible some. I'll be honest with you. She's in an impossible situation.

[D]

She's a girl who can do anything.

[A]

She can do anything.

[C]

She can do anyone.

[A]

Brick makes a fist. Cool. Then he walks away. Kim says to herself, I am so toast. Adrenaline's van. Adrenaline is driving, cameraman riding shotgun. When she comes to an abrupt stop. She is so toast. Roll the camera. Her cameraman reminds her. Hello, Lynn. We've been canceled. Adrenaline barks back, we're not canceled until I say we're canceled. So the cameraman begins recording.

[C]

This is gonna be us, by the way. We're gonna be doing the podcast. Three years after everybody stopped listening.

[A]

Pod Meets World isn't over until we say it's over.

[C]

We're just recording it for ourselves. We still meet on Zoom every week.

[D]

We need those numbers. Get Maitland.

[A]

A lonely highway, A desperate mission. Tonight, I will pull my greatest stunt yet. Revenge against Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. How's that for a teaser? He says, Good. It would be better if we had an audience. Adrena promises, oh, we will. And then they drive off. We're in the school hallway.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

We're in the school hallway. Kim tries to use the communicator, but it isn't working. She hears a ring from the hallway payphone and answers it. Hello? It's Wade on the other line. Sorry to use the landline, but the satellite is down. Kim asks, what's the sitch? Another catchphrase. Wade explains. It's not just the communicator. Video signals all over the world are getting messed up. Up. More. More storylines. Satellite storylines. Okay, Kim's house. Kim's dad is feverishly working on the TV as the boys yell at him, whack it again. Dad, you have to make it work. What good is having a broken leg if you can. If you can't sit and watch TV all day? Then Kim's mom enters. Maybe this is a good thing. We can have some quality family time. The boys are not happy about that suggestion. And they want this fixed. You're a rocket scientist. Can't you do something? Their dad figures, well, I could put it in geosynchronous orbit, but I'm not sure how that would happen. Help. Then Kim enters through the front door. Her mom lets her know. Oh, Kimmy your boyfriend called while you were out. Kim groans. He's not my boyfriend. Her mom explains. That's not what Ron said on the Ron Report. She notices her daughter is stressed. Is something wrong? Honey, you have our undivided attention. Kim doesn't look like she believes them. He admits the TV's broken. So Kim explains. Ron made up a story about me liking the quarterback, and now I'm stuck dating him or we'll lose the big game. Meanwhile, there's a worldwide satellite crisis.

[C]

Yeah, she's got a lot going on.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Her mom puts her arm around her. Kimmy, you have to be honest with Brick. If the football team loses, it's not your fault. Thank you.

[C]

Bad advice. Bad advice.

[A]

Nope.

[C]

Bad advice.

[A]

She adds, I can't help you with the satellite thing. Jim points to the tv.

[D]

She's literally a cheerleader. So she's supposed to cheer him up. Yes, she's supposed to.

[C]

It's in the title.

[A]

Gosh, no, no, no, no. Your job as not as a cheerleader, is not to cheer up the individual players.

[D]

You're. You're the hype person. That's your job.

[A]

Your Flavor Flav for the audience watching to make them support the team. You are not an employee, too.

[D]

Yeah, you got to keep the. Keep the spirit.

[A]

The team should not be paying attention to the cheerleaders because they need to keep their head in the game.

[D]

Yeah. If he's all tense and brokenhearted.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That was a High School Musical reference, by the way. And you didn't even know you made it. Keep your head in the game. It's actually get your head in the game.

[D]

That's all right.

[A]

Okay. Jim points to the tv. I don't think you have to worry about dating Brick tonight. Brick is on screen, talking to someone off camera. Hey, I thought you said Kim wanted to meet me here. It's Adrenaline. She insists. Oh, she'll be here. Jim and Tim are thrilled. Adrenaline. Their dad scratches his head. I thought she was canceled. Commentary on. Nobody ever was really canceled, you know? Right. Just bring it back so much. Yeah. He tries to change the channel, but he can't escape the her face. Kim reveals. Well, I think we know who's jamming the satellite transmissions. She opens her communicator to call Wade, but Adrenaline is on that, too. Tonight, it's Ron Stoppable Kim Possible versus me in extreme combat. And to raise the stakes, I have Kim's boyfriend. Kim screams into her phone, he is not my boyfriend. Her family is disturbed. She groans. Don't worry. I'm going. And then she's out the door.

[D]

What do you think was Adrenaline's plan here? Because she becomes a super impossible. She's trying to kill Kim Possible.

[C]

Yeah, I'd be my guess.

[D]

I mean, I. Yeah, I was just kind of. I don't know. I think she wants a battle.

[C]

Yes. And if she. If she bests Kim Possible on the air, she's back as Adrenaline and gets.

[A]

But how's she gonna best her? She knows Kim's gonna come and try to save him. And so what's gonna be she. Or let. Let him die?

[C]

Right.

[A]

So stop Kim from. So Kim stopping Kim from being able to save him.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

So she. So Brick was gonna die. Okay.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

All right.

[C]

Brick or Ron.

[A]

Right. She has to choose. That makes sense. Okay. Out in the middle of nowhere, Kim and Ron are riding a motorcycle through the forest. Ron points out the only thing down this road is the old Middleton fairgrounds. Kim adds that and Adrenaline and pulls out her communicator. She points out exactly where Lynn is. It's a carnival. Ron notices the location and whines, that place is haunted. Plus, I lost, like, 10 bucks trying to win a stuffed hippo bow. Kim does not feel bad for him. If it weren't for you and your stories, we wouldn't be here. And then we're in the haunted carnival. Kim and Ron carefully enter, and Ron, frightened of what's around him, announces, this place gives me the creeps. And screams. When he hears a howl, Rufus sticks his head out of Ron's pocket and says, creepy, then goes back into hiding. Ron tries to quietly walk back to the motorcycle, but Kim grabs him to keep him walking. Then all the lights and rides turn on. A bright light shines directly onto them, and we see Brick is sitting in a roller coaster car, all tied up.

[B]

Up.

[A]

Adrenaline's voice echoes through the park. High school quarterback Brick Flag takes the ride of his life, and only one person can save him. His beloved girlfriend, Kim Possible.

[D]

Well, was. There was always, like, a showdown end of every episode?

[C]

I don't know if it's every episode, but yeah. Yes.

[D]

Were the locations always kind of random?

[C]

Yeah, I remember at one time, it takes place at Ron's old camp. Camp. Wanna weep, Weep.

[A]

Wanna weep.

[C]

Yeah. So there's like, all that. So, yeah, I was like, okay.

[D]

I can see the thematic connection of, like, the carnival. Right? Like, she's. She's making a carnival out of television and entertainment. And what's Scooby Doo? Yeah, but I was also, like, couldn't have been the big game like, couldn't they have had the big showdown?

[C]

Like, it might have been a hell.

[D]

Of a lot harder connected. Or like. Yeah, at a TV studio or where she. Like, she's.

[C]

Then you gotta animate fans and you gotta animate the stadium and you gotta make.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

I don't know. I was just like, this seems a little random. And just like you just picked a location out of a hat. Oh, the old carnival. We'll do that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

There's also a huge carnival. There's like underground tunnels that go to places. It's like, oh, this is. This carnival is enormous.

[A]

Well, Ron adds, and me. Kim yells out, drop the dramatics. This isn't a game. Adrenaline agrees. Exactly. It's real, it's extreme, and it's freaky. She hits the switch so that Brick's car begins to move down the track. Adrenaline warns them the clock is ticking. Kim bursts into a sprint. Come on, Ron. But then Adrenaline presses another button and the floor below them wobbles and throws them into the building. They eventually land on a big green, squishy surface surrounded by funhouse mirrors. Adrenaline appears all over the room, asking, I wonder how the quarterback is doing. We see Brick going round and round the roller coaster at a very high speed. Back inside, Kim tries to kick and punch the mirrors to get to Adrenaline, but. But a trapdoor opens, throwing them down a slide and right into the bumper cars. Adrenaline is sitting in one, ready to strike. Kim grabs Ron just before he would have been hit. Adrenaline starts to taunt Kim again playing games when poor Brick is hurtling towards his doom. What kind of girlfriend are you? We can still hear Brick screaming from the roller coaster. Then we're back at Kim's house. Kim's family is watching everything unfold on the tv, and her dad points out that Adrenaline doesn't play fair. Kim's mom yells, come on, Kimmy, show em what you got. Little Tim and Jim add, go get her, Adrenaline. Their dad reminds them, Jim, Tim, there will be no rooting for your sister's foe. Then we're back at the carnival.

[C]

It's big carnival big.

[A]

Kim swings into a bumper car and crashes into Lynn, throwing her off the ride. With that, Kim starts running to the roller coaster to save Brick, but suddenly hears Ron yell. Kim. She turns around to see Ron, now tied up by Adrenaline. She pushes a button and ascends into a spinning chair ride. Ron yells out, no, please. This ride always makes me throw up. He continues to scream as he spins around and around.

[C]

He always gets caught and stuff like that until he Gets his monkey kung fu powers. And then he becomes pretty.

[A]

Is that a real thing?

[C]

That's a real thing.

[D]

Wait, who gets.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Ron gets monkey kung fu powers?

[A]

How?

[C]

Well, you're gonna have to watch the show. But he gets a. He becomes a full on monkey kung fu master and just kicks everybody. It's great, right?

[A]

Okay. Kim looks up at Brick, still on the roller coaster, and then back down at Ron. Who should she save first? Ron's rope begins to snap, so Kim swings down to the ground on a line of flags and presses a button to stop the swing completely. Adrenaline sneers, Ooh, that move's gonna cost you. And then Lynn knocks Kim right into a gondola. The quarterback is almost out of time, and you're going the wrong way. Ron is also still hanging by the rope. Adrenaline. You cannot do this. Lynn asks. And why not? Ron explains, I'm the one responsible for you being canceled. I called you a fake. Brick hears this from the roller coaster. What? And why does Brick hear that and care? I have no idea.

[D]

Well, because I need to hear the next.

[A]

Sure, he needs to hear the next part. But why he. Why he cares? Who wrote this article about Adrenaline? I'm not sure. It's not like he's her producer or her cameraman or something. Ron continues, I guess it takes one to know one. I made up that stuff about Kim liking Brick just to sell my story. Brick is listening. Oh, harsh. Ron goes on. Ron goes on, but the thing is, if the fake part about you is what people like, well, what good is it? Lyn realizes that what he's saying is true. Ron adds, from now on, I'm keeping it real. Lyn agrees, me too. Starting with my very real defeat of Kim Possible. She then maniacally laughs in his face. Ron admits, okay, that didn't work. Kim, still on the gondola, sees a break in the rollercoaster track that Brick is still riding. She jumps out of the people mover, deploying her rocket wings and grabbing Brick just in time. Once on the ground, Kim unties him. Let's see, what will I do next? She grabs Adrenaline and flies her high into the sky. Lynn warns her, I do extreme stunts for a living. You think I'm afraid of heights? Kim reminds her, you fake extreme stunts. Let the world see how brave you are when there's real danger.

[C]

This is when Susan said to me she should just fly her up really high and drop her. I'm like, oh, so kill her is your answer.

[A]

She's like, here we go.

[C]

She Should. Okay.

[A]

She flies the villain around in circles. Not so extreme after all, are you? Lynn doesn't answer, so Kim asks again. Are you? Lynn finally answers no, shaking her head in fear. And we're back at Kim's house. Jim and Tim sigh in unison, watching very closely on the TV now, she tells tells us the haunted carnival. Kim, Brick and Ron watch on as Adrenaline is taken away in the back of a police car. Kim turns to Brick. Listen, I'm sorry you almost plunged to your death on worldwide television. Brick interrupts her. Kim, stop. I get it now? Kim wonders. You do? Brick says, sure. You had that skinny guy expose adrenaline so she'd freak out and set up this whole save Brick thing just to prove you dug me. Kim, you're nice and all, but you try too hard. If you just ask me out, that's cool, but this is too much. I'm sorry, but it's over. Then he walks away. Ron is shocked. I can't believe it. Kim agrees. I know. Ron imagines the newest headline Quarterback sacks Kim Possible. She has a dislocated heart and will be out for the remainder of the season. Rufus physically shuts Ron's mouth. And thanks the little creature. And that's our show. Damn. Wow.

[C]

Loved it. 10 out of 10.

[A]

No, no, do. So what. What does Brick think? That he.

[D]

She tries too hard.

[A]

Tries too hard. But what's the. The skinny guy. So Ron.

[C]

Yeah, that's me.

[A]

Set this up so that I didn't think this show was going to be too hard for me to understand, but I.

[C]

Because you're watching it wrong. It's wrong.

[A]

It's.

[D]

There's a lot of layers going into. There's a lot going on.

[A]

I thought, oh, fun, a cartoon. And then I was like, I have some meaning of life questions.

[C]
