[♪♪♪] [♪♪] -[scream] -Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-What're you doing?
-Destroying a gadget.
I need the parts to build other gadgets, and destroying this one will be good fun.
But that's the Cherry-On-Top-Inator.
Exactly.
A totally worthless gadget that nobody will miss.
Now, if you'd please step aside.
Wait, Oona.
That gadget saved my life.
"Realiously?"
Yeah.
It's a wild story, man.
Let me paint you a picture.
Oh, you're really doing this.
I was out in the middle of nowhere, trying to get back to the edge of somewhere...
When suddenly, I spotted a creature that didn't like my vibe.
This thing was part horse, part chicken, and all chasing me.
I couldn't shake it.
I tried to jump away, but it jumped right after me.
The problem is I didn't know if this was a chicken horse or a horse chicken.
I had to figure out which one it was so I could stop it.
I did know that chicken horses are afraid of jazz music, but I was too out of breath to play the sax.
I also knew that horse chickens like fettuccine Alfredo, but I was out of Romano cheese.
I had to do something.
Luckily, I knew exactly what to use.
Dramatic pause.
Is this where you used the Cherry-On-Top-Inator?
No.
This is where I used prediction.
My best guess based on what I know.
You see there are only 5,000 chicken horses in the world, but there are only five horse chickens, so while it'd be possible that the creature chasing me is a horse chicken, it was much more likely that it was a chicken horse, so that was my prediction.
Luckily, I had something that could stop a chicken horse.
The Cherry-On-Top-Inator.
[Oona] Aha.
Continue.
[Ocean] With the creature closing in, I held up the gadget and threw it against the rock.
And because chicken horses are afraid of loud noises, it ran away.
That's how this guy was saved by that guy.
What?
That isn't using the gadget.
You could've thrown anything to make a noise.
Drop the mallet.
