I'M DR. LEO COOL, AND I WAS MAKING MYSELF A LITTLE SNACK.

DO YOU LIKE TOAST?

I SURE DO!

I LIKE WHEAT TOAST, RYE TOAST, RAISIN TOAST, GARLIC TOAST, AND FRENCH TOAST!

[ SPEAKING FRENCH ] >> BUT NOT BURNT TOAST.

YUCK!

PERFECT!

HERE'S A TOAST TO TOASTERS.

TODAY, I'M GOING TO TALK ALL ABOUT TOASTERS AND TOAST ON DR.

COOL'S FUN SCHOOL.

TOAST HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

BACK THEN, BREAD WAS TOASTED OVER A FIRE.

IT WAS QUITE POPULAR THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

DON'T TRY THIS FOR TWO REASONS.

ONE, IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

AND SECONDLY, YOU MIGHT GET WAX ON YOUR TOAST.

WAX ON YOUR TOAST MAY BE WORSE THAN BURNT TOAST.

YUCK AND MORE YUCK.

NOW, FIRST ELECTRIC TOASTER WAS INVENTED IN SCOTLAND BY ALLEN McMASTER'S AROUND THE YEAR 1893.

YEARS LATER, THE POPS OF THE POP-UP TOASTER WAS INVENTED BY THE AMERICAN CHARLES STRIPE, WHICH WAS PATENTED IN 1921.

NOW, SOME TOASTERS ARE SMALL OVENS, WHILE OTHERS ARE CONVEYER BELT SYSTEMS THAT CAN PRODUCE 350 TO 900 PIECES AN HOUR!

MOST TOASTERS HAVE TWO SLOTS, BUT OTHERS MAY HAVE FOUR.

SOME TOASTERS CAN ALSO MAKE HOT DOGS, CRUMPETS, WAFFLES AND THOSE YUMMY TOASTER PASTRIES.

FINALLY, THERE ARE TOASTERS THAT CAN BE CONTROLLED OVER THE INTERNET.

NOW THERE'S A TOASTER THAT CAN ALSO RECOGNIZE THE COLOR OF THE TOAST SHADE AND ONE THAT WILL EVEN TOAST TODAY'S WEATHER ON TO THE BREAD USING SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY.

WE HERE AT THE SMARTY PANTS INSTITUTE, WE DO SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

WE JUST LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE WHAT THE WEATHER IS LIKE AS WE EAT OUR TOAST.

I'M DR. LEO COOL AND I WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON DR.

COOL'S FUN SCHOOL!

>> IT'S ALL AROUND US.

WE USE IT EVERY DAY.

IT'S A FORM OF ENERGY.

WHAT IS IT?

ELECTRICITY!

♪ ♪ >> MEET DAWN.

SHE'S AN EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN THAT LOVES HER TRADE.

THEY ARE JOB HAS HER WORKING IN MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND TODAY, THE FIRST PLACE SHE INVITED US TO IS A CONSTRUCTION SITE.

>> SO HERE WE ARE ON SITE TODAY.

CAN YOU SHOW ME A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR TRADE?

>> YES, WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL SOME LIGHTS.

>> OH, IT SOUNDS GREAT.

LET'S DO IT.

♪ >> ALL RIGHT.

DAWN.

YOU ARE UP HIGH ON THESE LADDERS.

YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY BRAVE TO DO THIS.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO WORK ALMOST ANYWHERE, ON A LADDER, UNDER A DESK.

DEEP IN THE BASEMENT OF A BILLING OR MAYBE UP IN A STADIUM CHANGING THE LIGHTS.

>> SO ELECTRICIANS WORK ANYWHERE?

>> ANYWHERE THERE'S ELECTRICITY.

>> THAT'S SO COOL!

ALL RIGHT.

SO WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU IS ELECTRICIANS CAN WORK OUTSIDE, INSIDE, IN TIGHT PLACES, DIGGING TRENCHES.

YOU ARE IN THE ELEMENTS DOING THIS?

>> WE CAN BE.

>> ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

>> YES.

EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT.

>> BUT TODAY, WE'RE INSIDE.

WE'RE IN THIS HOSPITAL, AND WE'RE GOING TO HANG A LIGHT?

>> YES, WE ARE.

>> COOL.

ALL RIGHT.

SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT.

>> SO I WILL START WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE SIDE.

AND I'M GOING TO TICK TEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WIRES ARE DEAD.

THIS IS MY TICK TESTER.

>> DAWN HAS TO BE SURE THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY FLOWING THROUGH THESE WIRES, AND THIS TICK TESTER LETS HER KNOW SHE CAN WORK SAFELY.

>> SO I HAVE TAKEN THE WIRE NUTS OFF AND I WILL JOIN THE NEUTRAL WIRES TOGETHER.

NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL CONNECTED, IT'S TIME TO TUCK THE WIRES IN AND ATTACH THE LIGHT TO THE CEILING.

OKAY.

SO THAT SCREW IS TIGHT.

OUR LIGHT FIXTURE IS HOLDING ITSELF UP.

>> IT LOOKS GREAT.

>> IT DOES.

>> THE LAST THING TO DO IS TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ON.

LET'S SEE IF WE GOT IT RIGHT.

>> YES!

WE HAVE LIGHT!

GREAT JOB, JEN.

GO TEAM.

LIKE DAWN SAID, SHE WORKS IN ALL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

WE'RE IN THIS NEW LOCATION.

WE GOT OUR NEW SHIRTS.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING HERE TODAY?

>> WELL THIS HOUSE WAS RECENTLY SOLD AND WE WILL MAKE A FEW CHANGES FOR THE NEW OWNERS.

>> DAWN WILL SHOW ME HOW TO SWITCH OUT AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET BUT BEFORE WE CAN DO THAT, WE NEED TO TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE BREAKER PANEL.

>> SO THE POWER COMES INTO THIS LARGE CABLE FROM THE METER.

HERE AT THE MAIN, WE TURN OFF POWER TO EVERYWHERE IN THE HOUSE, BUT WE ONLY WANT TO TURN OFF POWER TO ONE CIRCUIT.

>> HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH SWITCH IS THE RIGHT ONE?

THIS PANEL IS NEATLY LABELED AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S THE ONE FOR THE KIF LIGHTS KITCHEN LIGHTS AND THE LIVING ROOM.

I WILL TURN IT OFF.

>> SO NOW THE POWER IS OUT TO THE OUTLET THAT WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON?

>> RIGHT.

♪ SO WHAT WILL WE CHANGE THIS OUTLET BEFORE?

THIS OUTLET ONLY HAS ROOM FOR TWO PRONGS.

>> OKAY.

BUT RUNNING ELECTRONICS, MICROWAVE, POWER STRIP OR EVEN MY COMPUTER WILL USE A THREE WRONG PLUG.

DAWN HAS EVERYTHING FROM ELECTRICAL TAPE TO A PROTRACTOR SO THAT SHE'S READY FOR ANY JOB.

ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE THIS OUTLET?

>> WELL, ACTUALLY, JEN, YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS.

>> OH.

>> LET'S DO THIS!

GREEN MEANS SAFE TO START.

LEFTY LOOSEY.

>> RIGHTY TIGHTY.

>> DAWN, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ZAPPED?

>> YES, A FEW TIMES.

>> OH, MY GOSH.

>> YEAH, IT WAS QUITE SHOCKING.

[ LAUGHTER ] I TRUSTED MY BOSS WHEN HE SAID THE RECEPTACLE WAS DEAD AND I DIDN'T TEST IT.

>> WE REMOVED THE OLD OUTLET AND DETACHED THE WIRES.

FOR SAFETY, WE JOINED THE TWO OLD WIRES TOGETHER WITH A NEW WIRE CALLED A PIG TAIL.

WE SCREW IN THE NEW THREE-PRONGED OUTLET AND TEST IT.

IT LIT!

WOW!

, DAWN!

ELECTRICIANS HAVE TO WORK IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, UP LADDERS AND TIGHT SPACES.

YOU HAVE TO PROBLEM SOLVE, BE ACCURATE, BE PRECISE.

>> AND MOST OF ALL, BE SAFE.

ANYWAY, I'M ON TO THE NEXT JOB, JEN.

SEE YOU AROUND.

>> THANKS, DAWN!

♪ FRIDAY ♪ >> WHERE DO ELECTRICIANS LIKE TO GO SHOPPING?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

WHERE DO ELECTRICIANS LIKE TO GO SHOPPING?

>> THE OUTLET MALL.

>> SHOCKING!

♪ #♪ >> IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY.

>> OH, NO!

OH, NO, OH, NO, OH, NO, OH, NO!

>> HEY, MALI.

>> HI.

>> I LOST SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT AND I LOOKED FOR IT EVERYWHERE.

I CHECKED THE BACK OF MY FORT, THE FRONT OF MY FORT, UNDER THE PILLOWS IN MY FORT.

>> YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE.

>> IT'S JUST MY MOM BOUGHT IT FOR ME IN GREECE AND I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL SEE HER AGAIN AND IT HELPS ME FEEL BRAVE.

WHAT WILL I DO IF I LOST IT.

>> YOU ARE BEING SUCH A NERVOUS NELLY!

HEY, I JUST GOT THAT!

>> DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP NOW.

I LOSE THINGS ALL THE TIME.

>> REALLY?

>> HEY, EVEN GUYS LOSE THINGS.

>> YEAH, LAME GUYS.

>> NOT AT ALL.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THOR?

>> YEAH!

>> WELL, ONE DAY, THOR WAS SLEEPING.

MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS AND WHEN HE WOKE UP, MILNER.

>> THOR LOSES HIS MIND.

HE STARTS SMASHING STUFF AND HE'S HAVING A FULL BLOWN TANTRUM.

>> HE GOES TO THE TRICKSTER GOD, LOKI.

>> WHO IS TO SAY THAT HE DIDN'T STEAL HIM.

>> HAVE YOU SEEN MULNER.

THOR IS USING HIS MIND OVER IT.

>> OF COURSE HE IS.

HAS HE TRIED -- >> YES, I TRIED TO RETRACE HIS FOOT STOMPS BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE ALL HE IT'S HE DID WAS PRACTICE TIKTOK DANCES ALL DAY.

>> HMM.

I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA.

TAKE THESE FEATHERS.

YOU CAN USE THEM TO NIGH WHERE THE GIANTS LIVE -- TO FLY WHERE THE GIANTS LIVE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> SO LOKI FLEW FROM THE HOME OF THE GODS TO YOTENHANE, THE HOME OF THE GIANTS.

[ CHUCKLES ] >> SO YOU JUST TOOK THE HAMMER?

WHAT A LOSER!

WHAT SORT OF GOD CAN'T EVEN KEEP TRACK OF HIS OWN TOOLS?

>> SEEMS YOU HAVE SOMETHING I WANT BACK, PLEASE.

>> IS THAT SO?

>> I THINK HE WANTS THE HAMMER, BOSS.

>> WHAT?

YOU CAN HAVE THE HAMMER.

BUT I WANT SOMETHING IN RETURN.

I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY FRAN.

>> COME AGAIN?

>> IN THAT MOMENT, LOKI WAS FACED WITH A TERRIBLE MORAL DILEMMA.

ON ONE HAND HE COULD FULFILL HIS MISSION AND HELP TO RETURN MULMIER AND ON THE OTHER HAND, FRAN HAD NOT GIVEN HER CONSENT TO MARRY A STRANGE AND LIKELY SMELLY GIANT.

LOKI AGONIZED FOR HOURS.

SECONDS LATER, HAVE WE GOT A DEAL?

>> DEAL?

>> SO LOKI FLEW BACK EXCITED TO TELL THOR THE GOOD NEWS BUT HE MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED A KEY FLAW IN HIS PLAN.

>> LOKI, DID YOU FIND MULNIER.

>> I DID FRAM HAS IT AND HE SAID HE WOULD GIVE IT BACK.

>> GREAT.

WHERE IS IT?

>> WELL, HE KIND OF WANTS TO MARRY FRIER INSTEAD.

>> WE CELEBRATE YOUR SACRIFICE.

>> AS IF!

>> HE WAS GOING TO MARRY OFF FRRIER FOR A HAMMER.

>> BUT SHE INSPIRED LOKI TO COME UP WITH A PLAN.

>> ABSOLUTELY NOT!

>> OH, COME ON!

>> THOR IN A DRESS?

>> WHAT KIND OF GOD WEARS A DRESS?

>> LISTEN, SIR.

THOR IS STILL THOR DRESS OR NOT, OR DO YOU THINK PEOPLE IN DRESSES AREN'T DANGEROUS?

♪ >> NO.

SO THEN WHAT?

>> COME ON!

IT WILL BE FUN.

WE GET TO OUTSMART A GIANT, PLUS DRESSES ARE LIGHT AND KIND OF BREEZY.

THINK OF IT AS A FULL BODY CAPE.

>> UH-UH.

>> SO LOKI GOT THOR TO PUT ON A DRESS AND POSE AS FRIERA.

THEN TOGETHER, THEY TRAVELED BACK TO LAND OF THE GIANTS, HOPING THEY COULD STRICT TRICK FRIN WITH THEIR CLEVER DISGUISE.

>> YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE YOU VERY MUCH, RIGHT?

>> OH, YOU LOVE ME!

>> AH!

MY HONORED GUESTS HAVE ARRIVED.

THE BEAUTIFUL LADY FRIA.

>> FRIA, I PREPARED A SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU.

>> IN THAT MOMENT, THOR REALIZED THAT MAYBE HE WAS AN ECCENTRIC LONELY GIANT AND THINGS DIDN'T HAVE TO END IN VIOLENCE.

JUST KIDDING!

>> WHY, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE!

>> WAIT!

YOU TOLD ME TO FACT CHECK THINGS AND THIS STORY IS SO FULL OF HOLES!

>> GIANTS DON'T EXIST.

>> SO THOR DIDN'T REALLY GET HIS HAMMER BACK?

IT'S JUST MADE UP?

>> THE POINT OF THE STORY IS EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T HAVE IT WITH HIM, HE STILL DID HIS BEST AND WAS BRAVE.

JUST LIKE YOU.

>> ME?

BRAVE?

>> YEAH.

YOU REMEMBER EARLIER WHEN NOAH SAID SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T LIKE?

>> YEAH.

>> YOU WERE BRAVE AND YOU STOOD UP AND SAID WHAT YOU FELT, EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR MOM'S GIFT.

>> THANKS.

I STILL HOPE MY GIFT TURNS UP SOON.

BUT I DO FEEL A BIT BETTER.

>> NEXT TIME ON A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE OF PANDEMIC PLAYHOUSE WHO IS NELLY'S MYSTERIOUS CALLER?

WILL SHE FIND UP HER MOTHER'S GIFT?
