The barber is my dearest friend. Hello, dearest friend, barber. Just a trim. Wow, look at that magazine. Oh, I gotta get a subscription to this. Look at that drawer. Oh, wow, it's a St. Bernard. They save people's lives, you know. Oops, my lucky penny. Can't drop that, you know. Nifty job. I wouldn't even have known you cut it. See you next month. It's time to roll out the barrel. Zoom barrel. I bet one of you can lay on the floor, put a dime on the end of your nose, and just by wiggling your nose, make it fall off. You can't move your head or use your hands.

Just wiggle your nose. Good luck. Oh, there's dimes in it. There's dimes with it. I have to find out what's inside today. I have to do the thing. Aren't you supposed to lay on the floor? Yeah. I think so. It's going to be easier. All right, cool. It's on my nose. Now, what do you have? Now, wiggle your nose. Now, wiggle your nose without... Try to make it fall off without moving your head. I've already done it. Yeah, none of that, none of that point. All right, now let's see if, better give that dye back. That's true, I did it, I got mine too. Sit on, here, you can have it. That's frustrating. Uh-oh, look, it's stuck. Oh, you have it. I better put it back on. How do this? My nose is worth a dime. Can you move it with your mouth? No. No, just your nose. Your nose is going to swing. You got it falling off, Neil. Go like this, blow on it, go. No, no, that's not fair. You can only wiggle your nose. There you go.

Anybody got you? No, just a dime. All right, this better work. I'm getting bad at this time. All right, now... They picked a dime because... Don't use... Don't move your head. You're moving your head a little bit. Oh, this is hard. You two? No, you see two. Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that in the time it takes to snap your fingers, light can travel around the world eight times? I know. Don't tell them. I know. I know. No. That's easy. Yeah, four-water work. Okay, we're going to make four letters, and it's going to spell a word. Let's see if you can spell it. Yeah. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, hold it.

That's a B. That's a B. Yep. What are you doing, Neil? Can I have some more? Can I have some more? I am. Oh, B-O. B, right. B-O. B-O, yeah. Who decide on what's real? A. A. B-O-A. B-O-A. Oh, Boat! Boat! I hate to say it, but you're right. Boy, this one looks like it's going to be a good one. Just like the one that Bob made yesterday. Can't wait to try it out. I hope it rides good on the water. I'll get one all right with this one.

I hope. Cut it right there, tie it up real tight, and tie off. I'm John Covey. I'm not just a plain old fisherman. I'm a fly fisherman. Now listen, when we wade, we'll use the buddy system. Okay. You hang on to me as we wade out. This is a tricky carton here. Bob Cook is a good friend of the family, and he's taught me to fly fishing. I've been fishing with Bob now for about five years.

Why don't you stand right here and fish down into here? Fly fishing is complicated because you have to know what fly to use and when to use it. There's different flies for just about everything. There's streams, ponds, day and night, and summer and winter. Flies are not supposed to look exactly like a particular fly, but to imitate it. When you're going to cast with a fly rod, you're supposed to bring it back to 1 o'clock, and when you do, you really give it some gusto and just rip it right off the water. Do you want to try to get him down the bridge in the asteroid? Yes, I do. Remember how long it took us to get him? Yeah, we're trying to get him on some streamers. That's right. If you try to picture the area where they are, it's just a matter of time, because if they're nibbling at it, they must like it, so they must take it. Good boy! Good boy!

When you have a fish on your line, it's really great, because you're fighting to get it in, and he's fighting to get it away. Sometimes it's an even match. Oh, shoot, I lost him. Let's see what happened over here. Got one. That's for me. He's trying to run, but he won't take it off the reel. That's a boy, John. Move it this way and cast over here.

We've just got a bite. It's going to take him, not today. Right there. Hold him right there, John, and bring him up to me. Get your net. That's it. Oh, jeez, this guy just kept barely. Look. I hope you can catch some more like that when we go tomorrow. Yep. Z-7? Yeah, Z-6? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the largest Easter egg ever made was 550 pounds? Did that come from a chicken?

No, silly. It was made out of candy. Phew. Now you do one. Now you do one. Okay, okay. Wait a minute. We have the same picture we're going to do. Let's do a... One more. I don't know how to spell life. Okay. I don't know how to spell it. L-I-G. Okay, okay, how many letters in it? Five. Five, okay. L. L. Okay, here, lie down there. L-I. That's a hard one. Oh, hold it, hold it. I got it. Oh, I know, I know. I got it, I got it, I got it. Here. I'll go like this. Okay, look, will you? It's Timmy, Danny, and Edith doing something. I've never heard of that.

Wait, this is not a Y, a Y. It's not going to be right here. R, E, D, no. What a tail. Tail. Here, we'll give you a hint, okay? No, don't give him a hint. Okay, I'll give him a G. Come on. G, yay. H, an H, H, H. Right. Crazy. H. Okay, this is our left finale, okay? The grand finale. Ta-da! Did you watch it? Did you want to kill me? Okay, get across there. Okay, get over there. T. Right, what is the spell? L-O-G-H-T. No, no! Not L-O-G-H-T! L-O-I! Zoom will resume after this important message.

Would you like to know how to make a hot air balloon? Send us an envelope with your name and address and a stamp on it and we'll send you a Zoom card. Uh-oh, jeez. Goodness Gracious, sent in by Kathy Larson of Seattle, Washington. Two frogs are sitting on a lily pad. and he says now i know what i'm talking about crunch why aren't you talking here let me have a

look goodness gracious we better get you to a doctor doctor doctor you must help my friend What's the matter with her? Take a look for yourself. Goodness gracious. We must operate immediately. There, that's much better. Now I can speak. By the way, what was wrong with me? Why, Madden Frog, I thought you knew. You had a person in your throat. Why don't you write a play yourself and send it to Zoom?

Because we might do it. Z-3? Yeah, Z-6? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the longest bed in the world is 85 feet wide and 2,000 feet long? Well, if you ask me, I think that's a lot of bonkers. Each week at this time, Zoom invites you to try it at home. do you think you can put your whole body through a piece of paper like this it's possible and here's how to do it first you take your paper fold it in half lengthwise then you open the paper up and on the fold line make a little hole about a fourth of an inch from from each end on the fold line.

Then from one hole, cut along the fold line to the other hole. Fold your paper in half, Starting from one end of the long slit you just cut, cut down about an inch from one from the other side. Then from that side, cut down about an inch to the other side. And keep on doing that until the whole paper's like that. Then open it up.

Open it up gently because the pieces of paper are going to be stuck together a little. and hold each of the ends, open it up so it's like that, stand up, put one leg through it, the other leg, bring it up, put your arms through it, over your head, ta-da! Z-5? Yeah, Z-4? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the Great Wall of China was 1,500 miles long? Wow, that's like from Houston to New York. Right. The first time I moved, I was too young to realize it. because, you know, I've been, like, one year old, I don't know.

And the second time I moved, we didn't have a moving van. It was just a pickup truck, you know? And we put all the stuff in the back of the pickup truck, and we just drove along. And we didn't have much furniture, and so we just had, like, ten pieces of furniture and a couple boxes of clothes. When we moved from California back here for the last time, we had, like, moving vans for, like, three years each time we moved. They were huge moving vans. And the funnest thing was, when you see the moving guys, you want to make sure they're really nice. You serve them lemonade and stuff. We moved a lot, but it wasn't that hard for me to really make friends. But then it was hard for me to get adjusted to the new house more than the surroundings. Well, see, I hated snow because I lived in L.A. for nine years, you know, and I never knew what snow was or anything. And so when I saw it, I didn't like it because I didn't know what it was or anything.

I never really had that experience because all the places we've moved are sort of close. They're in Boston. I've never been out of Massachusetts. But then, like, when I moved from my grandfather's house to where I move now, then I can still see my friends at my grandfather's house every day. I can walk down this. That's good. That's nice. My best friend was going to move because her house wasn't very good and they had a landlord and they wanted a house of their own. And so when I heard it, I was really sad because it was my best friend. And they were moving out to Newton, I think, and I couldn't visit them very often because it was far away. I think that not moving would be worse, because then all your other friends are moving away, you know? Over the summer. Like in fourth grade, we had the whole classroom, right? And in fifth grade, like five kids moved away over the summer.

But it's sort of not bad if you really love the house you're living in the area and all your friends are living in. Because you know half your friends aren't going to move. My best friends aren't. Yeah. Three gates to the north. Three gates to the north. And three in the south.
