Plot synopsis[edit]
After the cartoon, Tommy Treehugger and Co-MC compliment an animated clock, which is now suddenly on the bottom of the screen. Tommy mentions that Co-MC is enjoying the "mix" thing today, which he responds that he has "got it like that." Tommy then mentions that they are filming late in the day, though Co-MC adds that they are persevering, which Tommy adds is similar to the Mario Bros. They then welcome the viewer back to their show, with Tommy mentioning that they should go "satellite surfing," again. Co-MC is confused by this, having already "satellite surfed" into the cartoon, though Tommy adds that they should "move with the groove," with Co-MC responding that they should "flow with the waves." They then "satellite surf" to a show featuring several surfers by O'Neill.
After the show, the scene then cuts back to Club Mario, with Tommy complimenting them on a "killer session" of "satellite surfing" today. He then notices Co-MC falling asleep and elbows him to wake him up, telling him to not fall asleep, with Co-MC frantically saying that he is still awake. Tommy then tells the viewer that Co-MC is falling asleep, before telling him to point their fingers at the camera like professional wrestlers. They then point their fingers at the camera multiple times, making grunting sounds each time. After he and Co-MC pointing their fingers at the camera, Tommy tells him that they should check out The Legend of Zelda preview for this episode while elbowing him again, prompting Co-MC to elbow him back and resulting in a brief fight with each other before the scene fades to the preview.
After the preview, Co-MC says that Tommy is now upstaging him, with him telling him to be quiet. Co-MC then mentions that it is time for the "totally excellent" movie review, explaining that the film for today is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
In the clips, Baron von Munchausen explains that he creates thing, with a cuckoo clock sound effect playing as he makes chirping noises while spinning in circles. After spinning, Munchausen explains that he has just created spring. A girl then asks a soldier a question, with the scene then cutting to the soldier holding a large chained ball while flying over a parade of citizens marching away from a tower that he is about to crash into.
The scene then cuts back to Club Mario, with Co-MC complimenting the film as the "ultimate in celluloid viewing" before telling Tommy, who has hands on his head and mouth open in shock, to talk to him. Tommy explains that it was the most amazing feature, asking if he saw Robin Williams, whom he praises for his performance and the ship traveling through the clouds, though also praises the film for its suspense and "cool stuff." Co-MC mentions that they managed to stay awake throughout the entire show today. Tommy says that he has three "fun facts" for the viewer today, explaining that the first one is that flamingos eat upside-down, with the camera turning upside-down as he asks if the viewer believes it. However, Tommy then mentions that it is time for them to leave, with Co-MC explaining that he understands that it bothers the viewer. They then say goodbye to the viewer, saying that they hope to see them tomorrow, "where the airwaves are [their] waves."

Notes[edit]
- For unknown reasons, in the WPXT airing, "The Fire of Hercufleas" incorrectly uses the opening Club Mario segment for "Toad Warrior" as opposed to this segment.[1]
