That's amazing, because Milton is taking his magic microphone into a microscope.
What?
I gotta get me one of those magic microphones.
TV, to your station!
Mmm.
Welcome to “Miltons Magic Microphone.” Also known as “MMM.” I'm here with misinformation.
Excuse me, Milton.
You have to pause between Miss and Information.
Well, misinformation... Oh, you just did it again.
It's Miss... pause.. pause... pause... Information.
Oh, I get it!
Miss.
Paws.
Paws.
Oh!
I think Im out of paws here No, Milton.
You don't say it And it's not these kinds of paws This pause is a measurement of t that tells you to wait.
Oh!
Miss— Information!
Exactly.
I'm Miss Information.
I know everything about everything.
But if you run those two words together: “misinformation.” Then I don't know anything about anything.
Miss Information is her to give you unlimited knowledge.
Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up, Miss... Information!
Now let's fire up the magic microphone and get into it!
Here we are, exploring the wonders of a microscope.
Amazing.
What's a microscope?
A microscope is an instrument that magnifies small objects, which allows us to see details too tiny to see with just our eyes.
This is the most common microscope.
It's called an optical microscope, and it works by using visible light focused through the lenses.
Cool.
Let's see what it can see.
Excuse me.
I'm trying to eat.
There is an entire tiny world that we all can see through a microscope.
Incredible.
Whoa, Milton.
Calm down, man.
Milton, are you sure you dont have fleas?
Back to you, Mr. Clown.
An amazing, close-up look at microscopes that let you look at things close up!
[big bite] [alarmed Meep noises] Tommy, do you have any cookie to share?
Yeah.
Right there.
Hmmmm... That's a pretty small piece.
Why not try the microscope?
Oh.
Whoa!
I stand corrected.
I don't even know if I can finish all that.
Thank you, Tommy.
No problem.
Sharing is very important to me.
And sharing is delicious to me.
But!
Not everything tiny is delicious.
Mr. Clown, do you know why we need to wash our hands before and after eating?
Uh.
uh.. uhh... TV, to your station!
See?
I feel cleaner already.
Me too.
But you know what I forgot?
Is it your birthday?
No!
Is it my birthday?
No.
Oh.
I forgot the letter of the day.
I can't remember what it is.
Oh, right.
It's M!
Yeah.
Tommy, you know what else starts with the letter M?
What?
Meep!
Meep!
Of course.
[mysterious music] Meep needs to find all the things in their apartment that start with the letter M. Can you help them?
Let's look closely.
That's a macaron.
I guess Meeps been eating in bed.
That's not a good idea!
Oh, look!
There's a magnifying glass.
I wonder if we'll find any crumbs.
That's a mouse next to Meeps computer.
And what's that over the kitchen sink?
A mirror.
And a microphone.
Meep loves to sing.
I wonder if we can find anything else.
A meerkat!
Were you able to find all six things?
Great job.
Mystery solved.
Liesel!
Yes, Mr. Clown?
I have a really, reall cool letter for you right now.
I'm very excited.
The letter is the letter M!
Oh, yes!
Ok. Would you like to kno what the letter M sounds like?
I already know what the letter sounds like.
It sounds like [gibberish].
Thank you, thank you.
Actually, the letter M sounds like “mmmm.” “Mmmm”?
Like when something tastes delicious!
Or when you're thinking really hard, like, “hmmm.” Or, mmmm... Meep!
Oh.
Oh, hi, Meep.
Oh!
Meep is a mouse, which is another M word.
What are you holding, Meep?
[Meep mutters] A map?
Another M word!
Ooh!
Is that a treasure map?
That is amazing.
Can I take a look?
[monkey screeching] Oh!
The monkey took the map from Meep!
The monkey took the map from Meep?
The monkey took the map from Meep.
The monkey took the map from Meep!
[monkey screeching] Oh no!
Mm-mm!
[angry grumbling] This is not good.
Mr. Clown, I have something very exciting to tell you in our super secret space!
Ok, Tommy, whats so exciting?
I just found out the word of the Oh boy!
That is exciting!
I love finding out the word of the day!
Me too.
Ok, Mr. Clown, brace yourself.
The word of the day is— Yes, mother!
I'll be home in time for a marvelous meal.
Maybe mangoes for dessert.
Hey, Kernel.
Tommy and I are in the middle of a very secret conversation in our super secret space.
One moment, mother!
Mr. Clown, I needed a quiet place to talk to my mother!
But this is our quiet place.
Haven't you ever heard of sharing?
Sorry about that, mother.
As I was saying, mangoe would make a magnificent munchie Kernel, you can be in our super secret space, but you have to be quiet.
If you're coming into other people's space, you have to be aware o how much noise is appropriate.
It's just good manners, which is the word of the day!
Manners!
What?
My goodness.
I had no idea.
I'm sorry, mother, I must mind my manners and hang up.
I love you, too.
No, me more.
No, me more.
Okay, bye.
But me more.
Thank you for doing that, Kernel.
It's good to use your inside voice inside and your outside voice outside.
And in our super secret space, we use our extra inside voice.
Hey, you know what I just realized?
What?
Manners is the word of the day.
Okay.
Kernel, we know that.
And manners starts with the letter M, which is the letter of the day.
Pretty strange coincidence, huh?
Hmmm.
Pretty mysterious.
I think we should explore this letter M a little more.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.
Mmmm.
Nice.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
Mmmm.
[slurping] Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mooooo.
Mooooo!
Did I just hear a cow go moo?
Oh, Animal Control, that was just our stage manager telling us to mooooooove on with the show, but you cut them off!
Yeah.
Where are your manners?
Mmm-hmm!
Okay.
Good.
But just so you know, wherever there's an animal sound, I'm there.
Or here.
Or...
Wherever the animal sound is, you can find Animal Control.
That reminds me of a joke.
How do you count cows?
With a cow-culator!
I did not find that a-MOO-zing.
It was part of the joke.
No cow here!
Wow.
Animal Control takes her job very seriously.
You know, I don't ever count cows.
I only count sheep.
[cows mooing] [Meep snoring] Cows, sheep, Animal Control.
So much animal talk makes me feel pretty confiden I could guess the correct animal for any animal you put on the screen.
Oh, you think so?
TV, to your station!
Welcome to Mr. Clowns “Guess the Animal.” That's where we reveal an animal, and you have to guess what it is.
Good luck!
[fanfare] I know what you're doing.
Its a cow!
[buzzer] Not even close.
Oh, wait a minute.
I made a mistake!
Oh, I made a mistake!
I must be learning so much!
Yeah.
Try again.
Okay.
A male cow!
You mean a bull?
Oh, yes.
That.
No.
I'm not sure what this animal is, but I like it and trust it wholeheartedly.
It's a monkey.
Oh.
What?
Monkeys are some of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Humans are not direc descendants of today's monkeys.
But we do share a lot of the same ancestors and characteristics— like opposable thumbs!
Like I was saying, I trust that monkey with anything.
I'd even trust them around all my prized personal belongings.
My family photo.
My back up nose.
And my absolute favorite thing: my after-show banana.
In fact, I think I'm going to crack open my banana right now.
I know it's a little early, but that cookie crumb really wasn't as filling as I thought it would be.
[monkey screeches] I can almost taste my banana.
The delicious banana.
[monkey screeches] Oh no!
I've been robbed by an artist.
It was the monkey!
The trustworthy monkey stole my banana.
I'm so hungry.
Oh, I'm so mad I could scream!
Did somebody say scream?
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
[Meep murmurs in surprise] Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Violet, the eggplant.
I just don't know how to deal with these big emotions I'm having.
I'm so mad.
[angry yelling] I'm sad.
[mournful yelling] And I'm hungry.
[stomach gurgling] What can we do?
Just know that these feelings are temporary.
You mean they don't last forever?
They don't.
And we will feel better if we slow down and breathe.
I didn't have any bananas today, so I can only go slowly.
Well, pretend you're smelling your favorite flower.
Mmmm.
A banana flower.
[inhales] Then blow out birthday candles.
[exhales] Smell your favorite flower.
[inhales] Blow out birthday candle.
[exhales] It is my birthday!
[exhales] Oh.
Wait.
It's imaginary.
[inhales] It's my imaginary birthday!
[exhales] [inhales] [exhales] [sniffs] Hey, these flowers smell like cookies.
Wow!
I feel so much better, and now we have cookies!
I feel better, too.

What are you eating, Phil?
Oh, Mr. Clown, today I'm eating something called a Panzanella salad.
It's got little cherry tomatoes.
Its got peppers, basil, shallot It's got bread, even.
It's got a beautiful vinaigrette on it.
Oh, that sounds terrible, Phil.
I don't think I will be trying that at all.
No way!
Okay.
Ohhhh... Phil, would you mind if I just had one little, teeny-weeny bite?
Uh huh.
Oh, boy.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh!

That Panzanella was delicious.
Cherry tomatoes, peppers, basil, sliced shallots, bread, and vinaigrette What a magnificent combination.
Oh, I can't wait to tell all my friends about this.
