00:01Help kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:04Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:13Go Phoebe, go Phoebe, go Jay, go Jay.
00:22Welcome to a home at Topsy Towers.
00:26There's magic here with Phoebe and Jay.
00:30Every day exploring and learning with our neighbors.
00:34Hand in hand with Phoebe and Jay.
00:37Come on.
00:38Follow the signs.
00:40Come on.
00:40Let's lose our minds.
00:42Come on.
00:43What can we find when hanging out with Phoebe and Jay?
00:47Hey, hey, Phoebe and Jay.
00:50Come on.
00:51Hey, hey, Phoebe and Jay.
00:54Come on.
00:55Let's get together.
00:56Come on.
00:57Moments we'll treasure.
00:58Come on.
00:59Everything's better when hanging out with Phoebe and Jay.
01:04Hey, hey, Phoebe and Jay.
01:06Woo.
01:07Come on.
01:07Hey, hey, Phoebe and Jay.
01:11Yay.
01:12Yay.
01:17Hit that play button, Jay.
01:25That's jamming, Jay.
01:28Thank you for our new music machine, Daddy.
01:31Now I can be just like Queen Vesha and make my own songs.
01:35On my feet, time to go sparkly shoes.
01:41Let's start the show.
01:42Oh, no.
01:43I stepped in goo.
01:45Now I got purple shoe blues.
01:50Okay, hold up.
01:52Someone's at the door.
01:56Oh, hello there.
01:57You must be Mr. Yarber.
01:59I'm Priya.
02:00Priya Dennis, your new neighbor.
02:02Yes, of course.
02:04Call me Pete.
02:05They're my two pop stars here.
02:07I'm Phoebe.
02:08This is my brother, Jay.
02:09Hi.
02:10Hello, Jay.
02:12Hi, Phoebe.
02:13Are you that wonderful singer I was hearing?
02:16You think I sound wonderful?
02:20Oh, I think you sound great.
02:22But I have a little question to ask.
02:25I sleep during the day, and I need a little quiet so I can get my rest.
02:30You think you could practice more quietly?
02:33Whoopsie.
02:33I didn't know it was too loud.
02:35I'm really excited about my new song.
02:38Hey, that's okay.
02:40Now I am too.
02:41Well, we definitely want you to get your sleep, so we'll be quieter.
02:45Ah, thank you so much.
02:48I'm an EMT, so my hours are all over the place.
02:51I really appreciate it.
02:54Okay, I'm going to go back to bed now.
02:57See you soon.
02:58Bye-bye.
02:59I guess we're going to have to turn down the volume, huh?
03:02Dad, I thought a BLT was a sandwich.
03:07Oh, Jay, not a BLT.
03:10An EMT means Emergency Medical Technician.
03:13That means she goes out in an ambulance and helps people who are sick or hurt
03:17and takes them to the hospital if they need more help.
03:20Why is she sleeping in the daytime?
03:23Is she taking a nap?
03:25Well, not everyone works during the day and then comes home in the evening like I do.
03:30Some people work all night or even on the weekends,
03:33so they have to get their sleep during the day.
03:36Oh!
03:37And our apartment share that wall, so even if something isn't very loud, she still might hear it.
03:43Okay, Daddy, we'll practice somewhere else so we don't wake her up.
03:47Thank you for being a good neighbor, sweetie.
03:50Okay, we're far away from that wall now, and we closed the bedroom door.
03:55So maybe we won't wake up Miss Dennis if we practice in here.
04:01Hit it, Jay!
04:05Jumped in a puddle, splish, splish, splash.
04:08Got my shoes all wet in a flash.
04:11They won't dry out, what do I do?
04:14Now I've got purple shoe blues.
04:18Hey, Pheebs, Miss Dennis just came back.
04:21She can still hear you.
04:23Aww, we don't want to keep waking up Miss Dennis.
04:27But she likes the new chorus.
04:29These old walls are no good at blocking sound.
04:31Maybe you could practice somewhere else in the building.
04:34Oh, like the community room.
04:36Yeah, great idea, Dad.
04:38If you need anything, I'm right here, and Grandma's downstairs at the lobby desk.
04:42Thanks, Dad.
04:46Hi, Miss Jean.
04:47Phoebe, Jay, hello!
04:50Are you going into the community room to hear us practice my song?
04:55Well, I'd love to hear your song.
04:57But I'm afraid I already reserved it for my bird group.
05:01That's why I just flipped the sign.
05:03It means the community room is being used right now.
05:06So that sign means only birds can use the room?
05:11Well, that's not exactly what the sign means.
05:13When the sign looks like this,
05:15with the green check mark,
05:17that means the room is open for anyone to use.
05:21Free.
05:22That's right.
05:24Free means that anyone can go in the room and use it.
05:27But when I flip it to this side with the red X,
05:30it means busy.
05:32That means someone else is using the room.
05:35Whoa!
05:37Whoa!
05:37Is Houtini having a bird party with his friends?
05:40Sort of.
05:41My bird club is using it for training.
05:43So I'm flipping this sign to tell people in the room that it's busy.
05:47Oh!
05:48So no one else will go in while the birds are in there.
05:52Exactly!
05:53And once our club is done in a few hours,
05:56I'll flip the sign back to free when we leave.
05:59Now, if you'll excuse me,
06:01it's time to fly off and train some feathery friends.
06:07No, we can't practice in there.
06:09That's okay.
06:10We'll find another room.
06:12Hmm.
06:13I always love singing in the rainbow room.
06:16Let's try there.
06:20Hi, Mr. Gurley.
06:21Phoebe, Jay, hello there.
06:24Mr. Gurley,
06:25are you using this room for something special too?
06:28How'd you know that?
06:29You just turned that sign from free to busy.
06:32It's just like the sign on the community room door.
06:35Ah, yes.
06:37Me and a few others from the building
06:39are doing silent meditation inside.
06:43Want to join us?
06:44Maybe next time, Mr. Gurley.
06:47I cannot be silent right now.
06:49I gotta sing!
06:51Okie dokie.
06:52Have fun singing.
06:53Have fun breathing.
06:55Bye!
06:56Are we ever going to find somewhere to practice?
06:59Hey, Daddy said if we need help,
07:03we can go see Grandma.
07:04Let's find her!
07:08There she is!
07:11That sign has a red X on it,
07:13and it says,
07:15Busy,
07:16like the signs of the rainbow room
07:18in the community room.
07:19Does that mean Grandma Annie is busy?
07:22What if she doesn't have time for us?
07:26What's wrong, babies?
07:28We saw the busy sign
07:29and thought you were too busy to help us,
07:32but you're filled with the sign to free,
07:34so can you help us now?
07:36You two can always ask me for help.
07:39That's what Grandmas are for.
07:41This sign is so other residents
07:43know when I'm free to help them,
07:44or when I'm busy
07:46and need to focus on getting something done.
07:48Oh, perfect.
07:49Your sign says you're free.
07:51Thanks for texting me
07:52and letting me know
07:52my shipment of birdseed came in.
07:55Yummy!
07:56No problem,
07:57and thanks for waiting
07:58until I was free
07:59to pick it up, Miss Jean.
08:00All right!
08:02Back to bird training!
08:05Now,
08:06what can Grandma help y'all with?
08:08We've looked everywhere
08:10for a place to practice my new song,
08:12but all the other rooms
08:14have busy signs on the door.
08:16Can we practice here?
08:17Oh, of course, babies.
08:19I love hearing your music.
08:23Okay, Jay,
08:24hit that play button.
08:27It's never done that before.
08:30And what does that light mean?
08:32Uh-oh.
08:33Looks like the batteries ran out of juice.
08:35Why don't you head back up to the apartment,
08:38ask your daddy to put in batteries,
08:39and practice up there?
08:41We can't finish our song at home
08:43because we'll wake up our neighbor.
08:45Ah, well, that is a pickle.
08:48I wish there was a way for us
08:50to know when she's sleeping
08:51and when she's not.
08:53Yeah!
08:54We can't just knock on the door
08:55to ask if she's asleep
08:56because that would wake her up.
09:00What if there was something on her door
09:03that can tell us when she's sleeping
09:05or not sleeping?
09:06Like a sign!
09:08I bet we can make one!
09:10Good thinking, Jay!
09:12Let's go make a sign like the ones we saw today
09:14and finish this song!
09:19When a room wasn't being used,
09:22the sign said free
09:24and had a green checkmark,
09:25like this.
09:28We can use a green checkmark
09:30on one side of the sign
09:31for when Miss Dennis is awake and free.
09:34And there was a red X on the sign
09:37when the room or Grandma was busy.
09:40Like this!
09:43We can use that red X
09:44on the other side of our sign
09:47for when Miss Dennis is busy sleeping.
09:50And since it's her bedtime,
09:52I'll draw someone sleeping on it, too.
09:56Hey, hey!
09:57Do I hear some creativity happening?
09:59Guess what?
10:00The signs you saw on the doors today
10:02gave us an idea
10:03for how to tell Miss Dennis is awake
10:05so we know when we can practice.
10:07Can we go give Miss Dennis this sign?
10:09She can hang it on her door
10:11to let us know when she's sleeping
10:13so we can be sure to be extra quiet.
10:16I think she'd love to hear about your sign.
10:18Thanks, Dad.
10:19We're gonna go check.
10:22Quietly.
10:24Hey, Miss Dennis!
10:25Hey, Phoebe.
10:27Hey, Jay.
10:28We made you this sign
10:29to hang on your door.
10:30The green checkmark site
10:32is for when you're awake
10:33and the red X
10:34will let us know
10:35when you're sleeping
10:36so we'll be extra quiet.
10:39This is wonderful.
10:40I'll hang it on my door right now
10:42because I have to work tonight.
10:43So I was just about
10:44to get a little more sleep.
10:46Thanks for being
10:47such thoughtful neighbors.
10:59look, the sign is green now.
11:02That means we can practice.
11:03Yay!
11:05Oh, no.
11:07I stepped in goo.
11:08Now I got purple shoe blues.
11:15Miss Dennis,
11:16did I wake you up again?
11:17Did we read the sign wrong?
11:19Oh, no.
11:20Not at all.
11:21I just really like your song.
11:23You know,
11:24I was a singer too
11:25when I was younger
11:26and I still play
11:27a mean bass guitar.
11:28I would love
11:29to jam with you sometime.
11:31How about right now?
11:34Hmm.
11:34I do have the day off work.
11:36I guess we could have
11:38a jam session
11:38if you really wanted to.
11:39I'm always ready to jam.
11:43Is the Rainbow Room
11:45free to use?
11:46Only one way to find out.
11:49Phoebe,
11:50let's check the sign.
11:53You know what that means.
11:55The room is free to use.
11:58Come on, everyone.
12:04Hit it!
12:07On my feet,
12:08time to go.
12:11Sparkly shoes,
12:12let's start the show.
12:13That's my baby!
12:15And now,
12:16everyday exploring.
12:17Come on!
12:19I'm just waiting
12:20for my haircut.
12:22Here he comes.
12:24Oh, ready to go, kiddo?
12:25What's up, Dre?
12:27All right, little man.
12:28Here's the menu.
12:29Which haircut
12:29are we going for?
12:30Hmm.
12:31I like my haircut.
12:33Short on the sides
12:34and long on top.
12:35I like number five.
12:36I think we can do it.
12:38That's a high fade.
12:39Short on the sides
12:40and long on the top.
12:42That is a number one guard.
12:43We use this
12:44so we don't go too low.
12:48That's Jacob.
12:50Real still,
12:51we want you looking better
12:52when you leave
12:53than when you came in.
12:55That there
12:56is our two guard.
12:58That'll get us down low,
12:59but not too low.
13:01This is a number three guard.
13:03We'll be leveled out,
13:04but still got work to do.
13:06Doing good, big man.
13:07Doing good.
13:09You want to keep
13:09your line up real fresh.
13:11You are almost good to go.
13:14You've been so good.
13:20This is a pomade
13:22for styling.
13:25Looking good, Ethan.
13:33Thanks, Trey.
13:34All right, big man.
13:36I love my haircut.
13:38My hair is short here
13:40and long here.
13:42I love it.
13:51Look how big my fro got.
13:55You sure you don't
13:56want to keep the afro?
13:58Try a new hairstyle?
14:00No, I just want
14:01my old cut back.
14:02I like my hair
14:03just the way it was.
14:05All righty then.
14:06Let's do it.
14:08Are you sure
14:09you know how to cut my hair?
14:11I know I'm not
14:12your normal barber,
14:13but we haven't found
14:14a new one since
14:14we moved here.
14:16And sometimes
14:17we gotta make do
14:18with what we got.
14:20Look, here's the clipper.
14:22That's what's gonna
14:22cut your hair.
14:23And these guards
14:24will tell me
14:25how much hair
14:26will get cut
14:26when I use them.
14:27There's numbers on them.
14:29This one has a one,
14:30this one has a two,
14:31and this one has a three.
14:33That's right.
14:34The smaller the number,
14:36the shorter
14:36it will cut your hair.
14:37So a one
14:38will cut your hair
14:39very short.
14:40Oh, and a two
14:42leaves more hair
14:43than the one.
14:44And three
14:45is the biggest.
14:47So that will
14:48keep my hair long?
14:49Yeah, you got it.
14:50You're gonna look
14:51so slick.
14:53Remember, Dad,
14:54I like my hair
14:55really short
14:56at the bottom,
14:57then a little more
14:58hair in the middle,
14:59then the most
15:00hair on the top.
15:01Don't worry.
15:03I'll start at the top
15:04with guard number three.
15:05Sound good?
15:06Sounds good,
15:07but please be careful.
15:15Uh-oh.
15:17What was that?
15:19Uh, uh, nothing.
15:23My hair!
15:24What happened?
15:25That's guard number one.
15:27That one's for short hair.
15:29It's not for the top
15:30where I want it long.
15:32Oh, man,
15:33I'm sorry, son.
15:34I did use the wrong guard.
15:36I meant to use
15:37guard number three,
15:38but hey,
15:39I can fix it.
15:41Oh, don't jam up
15:43on me, clippers.
15:44Oh, yep,
15:45these old things
15:46are jammed.
15:47It's gonna take a while
15:48for me to figure out
15:49how to fix them,
15:50and we can't afford
15:51a new pair.
15:52Oh, man,
15:54what are we gonna do?
15:55Hey, what's going on?
15:57Jay,
15:59your hair,
16:00it's different.
16:02I know,
16:03Pheebs,
16:04but the clippers broke,
16:05so now I'm stuck
16:06with this hole
16:07in my hair.
16:08Wait,
16:09there's a barber shop
16:10near Yolo's store.
16:11We're gonna need
16:12some help
16:12from a professional.
16:13Good idea, Daddy.
16:15A real barber
16:16could give Jay
16:17a fresh haircut.
16:19You're right.
16:20A pro could give Jay
16:22a fresh cut.
16:23A pro-fresh-ional?
16:30Yes.
16:31A professional barber.
16:33That's what we need.
16:37All clear.
16:40I don't want anyone
16:41to see my hair like this.
16:47Well, hello, hello.
16:50Welcome to my shop.
16:52I'm Miss V.
16:53Hi, I'm Phoebe.
16:55This is my daddy
16:56and this is my brother, Jay.
16:59He needs your help.
17:01Hi, Jay.
17:02It's nice to meet you.
17:04It looks like
17:06somebody tried
17:07to cut your hair.
17:09Yeah, that was me.
17:10I had a little mix-up
17:11with the clipper guards.
17:13That's why we need a pro
17:14to get Jay fresh again.
17:16Listen, baby,
17:17I understand
17:17if you feel nervous, Jay.
17:20Well, it just means
17:21you really care
17:22about your hair.
17:23But guess what?
17:24I really care
17:25about your hair, too.
17:27That's a professional
17:28barber's job.
17:30I really care
17:31about hair, too.
17:33Especially mine.
17:34Ooh, it is so cute.
17:36Ooh, did you choose
17:38your own hairstyle?
17:40I did.
17:41I know what's fresh.
17:43Ooh.
17:45Can I stay
17:45on my daddy
17:46in that chair?
17:47Well, that is

18:05of my shop?
18:06Yeah!
18:08This fancy paper
18:09is called
18:10a certificate.
18:11And I got it
18:12after I learned
18:13how to be a barber
18:14from other
18:15good barbers.
18:17Cool!
18:18Wait,
18:19you like comic books?
18:20I wrote a comic book!
18:22I do like comic books.
18:24I keep some here
18:25for my customers
18:26so they can read
18:27if there's a line.
18:28You should bring me
18:29a copy of your comic book
18:31so I can put it
18:32out here, too.
18:33Oh!
18:36How y'all doing

18:51Can't wait
18:52to see how it turns out.
18:54Now, Jay,

18:55I show you
18:56my favorite things?
18:58My barber tools!
19:00Hey!
19:01Those look like
19:02the pieces
19:03Dad was trying
19:03to use
19:04to cut my hair.
19:05This one has a one,
19:06so it cuts your hair short.
19:08This one has a two,
19:09so it leaves
19:10a little bit more hair
19:11than the one.
19:12And this one has a three,
19:13so it keeps
19:14your hair long.
19:16My dad was supposed
19:18to use a number three
19:19and just cut
19:20a little bit of hair.
19:21But he used
19:22a number one
19:23and cut it too short.
19:25See,
19:26I can use
19:27the clipper guards
19:28to cut any
19:29of those styles
19:29you see
19:30on the hairstyle poster.
19:31Which one
19:32do you like?
19:34Hmm.
19:39That's what
19:40my hair is supposed
19:40to look like.
19:41That's how I like it.
19:43That's called
19:43a high-top fade.
19:45You can do that?
19:47Yep.
19:48This cut
19:49is short on the bottom,
19:50so I'll use
19:51guard number one.
19:53Then,
19:54there's a little more
19:55hair in the middle,
19:56so I'll use
19:57the number two guard.
19:59Finally,
19:59it's long at the top,
20:01so I'll use
20:02the number three guard.
20:05Okay, Jay.
20:06Ready for your cut?
20:09I need a haircut.
20:10Super fast.
20:12Hey, Sid.
20:13I can help you
20:14with a haircut,
20:15but this is Jay,
20:17and he was here first.
20:18Jay,
20:19this is Sid.
20:19Oh, okay.
20:21Hey, little man.
20:22Nice to meet you.
20:25Actually,
20:26you can go first,
20:27Sid.
20:27I'm not ready yet.
20:29Okay.
20:29I'll take care of
20:30Sid first.
20:31But only if you
20:33help me, Jay.
20:34That's okay
20:34what you said?
20:35Yep.
20:36I'll take all the help
20:37I can get.
20:38What kind of haircut
20:39do you want?
20:40Uh,
20:41oh,
20:41I like this one.
20:42That's the same haircut
20:43I want.
20:44I like it,
20:46soul brother.
20:46My daddy's hair
20:48looks nice,
20:49but it's missing something.
20:52How about some sparkle?
20:54Ooh.
20:55Yes, ma'am.
20:58Sounds like we all
20:59got a plan.
21:00Well, team,
21:01let's get fresh.
21:04Since we're doing a fade,
21:05that means the hair
21:06is short at the bottom,
21:07so we need guard number one.
21:10That's right.
21:17Now you have to do
21:18the middle part.
21:19The hair in the middle
21:20is a little bit longer,
21:21so you need guard number two.
21:24You're on a roll, Jay.
21:32And now you need
21:33guard number three,
21:34so you leave a lot
21:36of air on top.
21:43What do you think?
21:44It's beautiful.
21:46Thank you for squeezing me in.
21:48So, brother,
21:50now I'm feeling confident.
21:53And my daddy
21:54looks great, too.
21:56And you look pretty
21:57soulful, too,
21:58good brother.
22:03Hey, Miss V,
22:04I think I'm ready
22:05for my haircut now.
22:08Let's do it, Jay.
22:12What part do you
22:13want me to cut first?
22:14The part at the back
22:15where my hair is short.
22:17Here's the first guard.
22:24What happened?
22:26Did you cut it wrong?
22:27I haven't cut anything yet.
22:29Let's look at the guard again.
22:31I see a number three,
22:32the one that keeps
22:33your hair long.
22:34But you wanted me
22:36to cut the back
22:37of your hair
22:37really short, right?
22:39Oh, whoops.
22:40I gave you
22:41the wrong guard.
22:42Here's the right one.
22:44Guard number one,
22:45the one that cuts
22:46your hair the shortest.
22:52Now we need
22:53guard number two,
22:54the one that leaves
22:55a little bit more hair.
23:04Thanks for teaching me
23:05about haircuts, Miss V.
23:07I like it in your shop.
23:08I can't wait
23:09to come back.
23:11Oh, I love that.
23:13Now, let's finish
23:15this haircut.
23:16What's the next guard?
23:18Here's number three.
23:19This one will leave
23:20a lot of hair.
23:21That's what we need
23:22for the top
23:23of this haircut.
23:33And there you go, Jay.
23:36Good as new.
23:39I see that little grin.
23:41What are you thinking, Jay?
23:43Well, I saw something
23:44cool on the haircut poster.
23:46Can I try three?
23:50Nice.
23:51Something a little different.
23:53I like it.
23:54Okay, I see you.
23:56I can definitely
23:57add that design
23:58to your hair.
24:00Now, for that,
24:02I'm going to need
24:03my special golden clippers.
