I'm David. I'm Andre. Who are you? What do you do? How are you? Let's hear from you. We need you. So won't you zoom, zoom, zoom-a-zoom. We've interrupted the Zoom theme song because we just received a complaint about it.

You know the part where we sing, we're going to teach you to fly high? Well, Alison King of Boston sent us a letter about it. Dear Zoom, you did not teach me how to fly high. For eight years, I've been wishing I could fly high. People keep telling me that they are going to teach me to fly, but they don't. Well, Allison, I'm sorry, because I can't help you. I'm still trying to learn myself. Don't lose the faith, okay? We're going to teach you to fly high.

Hey, what are you looking for? A dime I lost. May I look too? Sure. Pardon me. What are you looking for? A dime I lost. May I look too? Sure. Pardon me.

What are you looking for? A dime I lost. May I look too? Sure. Pardon me, sir, but you know just exactly where you did lose this dime? Sure. Over there. Well, why are you looking here? There's more light here. Danny Dowd of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sent us this game. It's a blindfold race. The rules are really simple. On each team, one person is the racer and one person is the guide. All right, one, two, three, go. Go straight, take a left. Take a left. Take a left. That's it, that's it. No, no, stop. Turn around, turn around. No, turn around, follow around, full circle. No, the other way. Go straight and hit the riser. Now turn to left. Right, right, good straight. Now keep on going. Now turn, stop. That's it. No, the other way. Stop, stop, stop. Take it right, left, leg. Now let's go the other way.

You're not supposed to bump into each other. Go, go. Now go over into there. No, Tommy, stop. Left, left, go, go. Now stop, stop, now go straight. Stop, stop! Yeah, go right! No, right! No, come over, little Tommy! Now go straight! Run! Keep on going straight until I say stop. Straight! Straight! Straight! I have a headache. Pull your blindfold down, we lost. We don't know which way to go. Hello? Yes, this is Tuna Fish Incorporated. A company dedicated to make you and your tuna fish smile. Why, we represent tuna fish from all over the world. What, you wish to speak with President Tuna Man? Just a minute, please, I'll see if he's in. You win. Tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, yes. Phone. Hello? Yes, I hereby declare Thursday toasted tuna fish day. Okay, happy tuna, goodbye.

Oh now, what day is it? Wednesday, Mr. Man. What's for us today? What day is it? I believe it's Wednesday, O'Neal. Ah, yes. Let's pull down the big chart and see what we got. Monday, tuna salad roll. Tuesday, tuna fish and peanut butter. Wednesday, tuna casserole. Thursday, tuna fish sandwiches. Friday, tuna and hash. And Saturday, tuna a la mode. Ah, yes, tuna casserole. Hmm, I smell something fishy. Good lunch, sir. Thank you. How are things going in the kitchen? Oh, fine, but we need a couple hundred more tuna. Maybe you'll get a raise. Yeah, thanks.

O'Neal, would you like to join me? Oh, sure. Turkey is to build, but here it is. Our 43rd grand stop of the grand tour of the building. The mail room. I have a question, sir. That is tuna man to you, and don't forget it. Tuna man is my name, and tuna fish is my game. Blah, blah, blah, blah, bloofy, boofy, groovy, gravy, and tuna fish. Did you get that, O'Neal? Yes, tuna man, sir. What was your question? Speak up. Uh, this is a letter from a young man who was interested in going to Tuna Fish University. Should I write him a letter or send him a TF catalog? Do both. Ah, TFU, my old alma mater. Tell this man that TFU is a very selective university. They want people who know their tuna. They want people who can tell a good mayonnaise from a yucky one. Better just send the man a catalog. Why do you like tuna fish so much? Why not? Next question. And what's the difference between a fish and a piano?

I don't know. What? You can't tune a fish! Huh? If you have a play already written, or if you'd like to write a play especially for TV, write Zoom, Box 350, Boston Mass, 02134. What did the mother sardine say to the baby sardine when they saw a submarine? I don't know. Don't be afraid. It's just a can of people. It's a 12, passion fruit! It's a 3, car, it's a 2!

It's an apple! Oh, yeah, I was reading from that. Mango! My name is Langley Willauer. I spend my summers at Hurricane Ireland. It's one of the seven outward bound schools where people learn about themselves and do different skills that other people don't do in their everyday life. Things like getting up at 5.30 in the morning, running around the island. People come from all over the United States and sometimes from foreign countries. People come to Outward Bound to find out the same thing I've done all my life, and I've just grew up with it. I've spent every summer of my life here. My father's the director of Hurricane Ireland out with Bound, and he helped started 10 years ago. The instructors and the other staff

are trying to teach the students to show them to do things that they didn't think they can do. and keep trying till you get it. Hold for a foot. Grab on it. All right, you got it. Get my hand. Come on, come on. Climb up. Don't forget Brucie. This is about the fifth time around the aisle. I see Superman. I like him. What's his name, Jim? I think. Otherwise known as Big Jim. Big Jim. There's other kids in the island whose parents work here, too, that are my age. Get a drink. I've known Billy for three years. Tastes like rubber hose. All the chlorine that's in it. Right. That's good.

Really good. There's a new ropes course on Hurricane Island, so I wanted to try the new ropes course with Billy. Nicely done. Lean out on the new one. Keep your arms high. Okay, here, here's a hand. Get up there. That's good. That's really using your head. Nice catch. Rope course sets your balance, and you gotta try to do it, and if you don't try to do it, you won't do it. Lean it over. Remember, you've got another rope over here for a hand rope when you need it. Good catch. Okay. If you think you're going to make it, you will make it, usually, if you try it. Good for you. Nice move, Billy. Nice move. Lean out. Lean out. You got it. Nice catch. You just got to keep your cool. Climbing is just about my favorite thing to do on the island.

This climb is the hardest one that I've done yet. The hardest part about climbing the rocks is just trying to get up in the mantles and keeping your balance when you're on a ledge that's two inches wide. OK, now a mantle, right there. That's it. You have one safety rope around you when you're climbing, but it's not really pulling you up. If you do fall, it will hold you. Nice going. Nice going. When you're up in the middle, it's pretty scary sometimes when you look down, but you You just keep looking up and keep climbing up. During one climb, there's a place you have to swing on a rope to get up to a ledge.

And the word is you have to yodel to get up on the ledge, and if you don't yodel, you won't make it. Right over there. Ah! You missed. Okay, run again. Yodel! Yodel! Yodel! Yodel! You really feel good when you're, when you're done with a long climb or something that's really hard, like you've really accomplished something. That's the whole point about without, to find out that you can do things that you don't know you can do. When I leave Hurricane Isle at the end of the summer, I feel a little unhappy, but then I always look forward to the next summer, because I know I'll be back again then. Do you speak English?

But he doesn't speak English. Really? Can't speak in Yiddish? No. This guy speaks abby-dabby. Do you know how? No. You don't? Uh-uh. I'm okay.

Oh! Action! I'm trying to breathe! Get up, wait a minute, hold it, hold it, get it up, no! We decided not to make a Zoom card on how to play bladder ball indoors because we get in trouble with a lot of parents. But if you just happen to have six horses sitting around...

The thing about being a big brother is is uh it has good parts and bad parts about it but you know the good parts are you know you can tell your brothers what to do you know especially if they're really young the bad thing about it is you get all the blame for everything you do yeah they do they do you get all the blame like you're older yeah and you get you get blamed for it like my mother always says to me you should have known better yeah why didn't you stop them or else like when we're running around in the morning i was catching my brother one morning and my brother michael and i took him and i grabbed him and he screamed he was running and he bashed he heard his knee went right into the arm into the wall into the car and he started screaming my mother come down and goes it was all your fault you do this every morning leave him alone yeah i wasn't doing it he was yeah well

Being the youngest in the family, sometimes you get spoiled and sometimes you don't. I don't get spoiled or treated just like, you know, special than anybody else because some of my sisters and brothers aren't even living with us. There's only three living in our house right now, my sister, my brother, and me. And we just get treated all the same. Like, if my sister gets new clothes, then I'll get new clothes, and my brother will get new clothes. and neither one of us three like toys so we don't ever get toys and you know we just get treated the same it's not like well you're older so you get more and you're a second older so you don't you don't get as much and since you're the smallest and you don't get hardly at all you know it's not that way speaking of that you know my brother like he'll be in the middle he'll probably get the less the lessest attention you know because the smallest one would get attention because he's a little student.

He doesn't know what's wrong or right. And the first child will probably be cared for more. And the middle child doesn't even know what's going on. So it's, you know, you really wouldn't want to be the middle child. See, like, I'm not the oldest, I'm the youngest in my family. But if you're the oldest and your two, you know, your younger brothers and sisters go to the same school and you do good with one teacher and they go to that teacher, that's all they hear about. Oh, your brother was good in this. Oh, your brother's gone now. All this. Oh, do you know what they're saying? Look, lady, here's my brother. Do you have a subject that you feel would be good to rap about? If you do, send your suggestion to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. Those kids at Oakdale Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska, sure know how to make their own cartoons. Watch this. Oh, my. Being a king can sometimes be very boring.

I think I'll summon the jester. Maybe he can do something that'll cheer me up. There's that king again. He just won't leave me alone. Oh, where is that dumb old jester? He's much too slow. Oh, that king's so grumpy. Well, I'll try to cheer him up. Yes, Your Majesty? What can I do for you? Juggle for me, jester. Okay. Come on, you dumb juggler. Let's see some really fine juggling. Come on, faster, faster! Come on, you better speed up. I'm trying. Give me a chance. Oops. Uh-oh. You clumsy oaf. I'm going to give you just one more chance. Yes, Your Majesty. I'll do better this time. You call that an improvement? Come on. Faster. Faster. Ouch. Off with his head.

Ooh, I made a big mistake. Gee, I guess I'm a just without a job. Audrey Gaskins of Wappingers Falls, New York wrote us this note. Dear Zoom, I have a suggestion for a song on your show.
