Finally meet the height requirement of the roller coaster.

SPEAKER_2 (0:33)

Milk can help you grow.

SPEAKER_1 (0:35)

Here we go!

SPEAKER_3 (0:38)

Next stop, outer space. Wait, what?

SPEAKER_1 (0:41)

Milk can't control where the ride goes.

SPEAKER_4 (0:50)

Welcome back to another season of the Snoop and Sniffy Show.

If you're first joining us at season 14, then know you're in fine company. Sniffy and I are the best of the best when it comes to being dog detectives. No case goes unsolved here on Bark Street. And whilst Pflugerville is our home, there's nowhere we won't go to solve a mystery and bring criminals to justice. Woof woof!

SPEAKER_5 (1:19)

Yessiree! That's the truth, all righty.

Snoop doesn't lie.

SPEAKER_4 (1:26)

No, I do not.

SPEAKER_5 (1:28)

And he's the top-notch dog detective around these parts. You won't find a smarter dog than him.

SPEAKER_4 (1:36)

Indeed.

SPEAKER_5 (1:37)

No one can best him, not even his feline rival, Professor Mittens.

SPEAKER_4 (1:47)

Ah, yes, Professor Mittens, the cat with as much wit as a hairball. She's always trying to best me and failing.

Alas, we won't have to worry about her this season, though, Sniffy.

SPEAKER_5 (2:00)

We won't?

SPEAKER_4 (2:02)

But of course, she fell into that time portal atop the Pflugerville Clock Tower. Have you already forgotten?

SPEAKER_5 (2:09)

Oh, that's right. I totally forgot all about our last adventure, where Professor Mittens tried to destroy the town using a cat tower, but then she ended up tumbling through that time portal that appears atop the old Pflugerville Clock Tower.

How could I forget? Give it a listen if you haven't yet.

SPEAKER_4 (2:32)

Yes, indeed. So, I don't think we'll have to worry about her unless she finds a way all the way back through time and space to Bark Street.

On second thought, stranger things have happened in this town, and Professor Mittens sure is consistent and relentless. So, Sniffy, keep your nostrils flared.

SPEAKER_1 (2:56)

They always are.

SPEAKER_4 (2:58)

Professor Mittens could appear at any moment.

SPEAKER_5 (3:02)

I'm ready.

SPEAKER_4 (3:05)

Do you hear that?

SPEAKER_1 (3:07)

What's that noise?

SPEAKER_5 (3:08)

I have super smelling, not super hearing.

SPEAKER_4 (3:11)

It must be...

SPEAKER_5 (3:13)

Professor Mittens?

SPEAKER_3 (3:15)

No, it's...

SPEAKER_6 (3:18)

It's Poot.

SPEAKER_5 (3:19)

Poot?

SPEAKER_6 (3:20)

That's right, Poot.

SPEAKER_4 (3:22)

Poot, our favorite undercover, underground secret agent.

SPEAKER_5 (3:26)

I always forget Poot is a member of our secret dog detective agency.

SPEAKER_6 (3:32)

Poot special.

SPEAKER_4 (3:33)

Poot, what brings you here?

SPEAKER_6 (3:35)

Poot's got a mystery for you. A mystery from the deepest of depths, the blackest of darkness, and the scariest of places.

SPEAKER_5 (3:43)

Um, that doesn't sound fun.

SPEAKER_6 (3:46)

Oh, it'll be the most fun.

SPEAKER_5 (3:49)

Scary is fun?

SPEAKER_4 (3:51)

Tell us more, Poot.

SPEAKER_6 (3:53)

Oh, right. Yes. So my good friend Kahoot.

SPEAKER_5 (3:56)

Bless you.

SPEAKER_6 (3:57)

No, Poot didn't sneeze. Poot is talking about my friend Kahoot.

SPEAKER_4 (4:01)

Ah, yes. What did this Kahoot tell you?

SPEAKER_6 (4:04)

He has a mystery for you two to solve. It's better he tells you himself. Can I take you to him?

SPEAKER_5 (4:10)

Snoop, should we think about this first?

SPEAKER_4 (4:13)

There's a mystery to be solved, Sniffy. What's there to think about?

SPEAKER_5 (4:16)

Oh, all right. I guess you're right.

SPEAKER_4 (4:20)

We're the top-notch dog detectives here in Pflugerville. Nothing can outwit us.

SPEAKER_5 (4:25)

You know what? You're right, Snoop.

I'm not afraid. Lead the way, Poot.

SPEAKER_6 (4:33)

Yay! Poot will lead the way. Down into the tunnel we go.

SPEAKER_5 (4:37)

How did I know this case would take us back underground?

SPEAKER_4 (4:43)

A good mystery always involves a tunnel. That's what I found in all my years being a dog detective, especially if the tunnel is a secret tunnel.

SPEAKER_5 (4:53)

Ooh, a secret tunnel. That's always fun to discover.

SPEAKER_6 (4:58)

There are many secret tunnels down here and they all go off in many directions. Who knows where any of them lead?

SPEAKER_4 (5:04)

An underground maze of secret tunnels.

Sounds like my kind of place. But for now, we must focus. Poot, tell us about this friend of yours, Kahoot.

SPEAKER_5 (5:16)

Bless you, Snoop.

SPEAKER_4 (5:17)

Sniffy, I didn't sneeze. Kahoot is the name of Poot's friend.

SPEAKER_5 (5:21)

Oh, right. Sorry.

SPEAKER_4 (5:23)

Anyhoo, Poot, tell me about Kahoot.

SPEAKER_6 (5:26)

Uh, let's see. Poot met Kahoot back in the day when Poot was riding in the caboose of a French fried train bound for Canada.

SPEAKER_5 (5:33)

What?

SPEAKER_6 (5:34)

It's a long story and we don't have much time.

SPEAKER_4 (5:36)

You're an interesting creature, Poot.
