00:06I am calm, I am relaxed, I am a happy tree.
00:18You are making it very hard to be a happy tree!
00:24Sorry, Liv, I'm just, I'm losing my mind, waiting for this letter that will tell me if I made tryouts
00:30for the Junior Olympics.
00:32Junior Olympics.
00:33It's just a chance to play basketball for my country and travel the world for a year and score a
00:40bangin' Team USA duffel bag.
00:42You know what, it's no big deal.
00:46It's the biggest deal ever!
00:47Bam! What?
00:50I just got home, and now she might be leaving for some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent our
00:56country as a Junior Olympian?
00:59How selfish can she be?
01:02Maddie, I totally hope you do get to do your basketball audition.
01:07It was called a tryout.
01:09Well, whatever it is called, I hope you break a leg.
01:15Maddie!
01:16This was on the porch.
01:17Oh! My letter!
01:19I'm gonna throw up.
01:21Okay.
01:22Okay.
01:23You open it.
01:24Don't touch it!
01:25Okay.
01:26Okay.
01:28Ready?
01:32Socks?
01:35You have been pranked by Joey.

02:30You, you, you're the half of me, me, the half will never be, me, the half will just get crazy,
02:39you, you, the better half of me, me, the half will always be, we both know, we're better in stereo.

02:59That is 14 in a row, where's your defense, little man?
03:07It is three feet below your shoulders, that's where.
03:13How is this even fun for you? I'm done here.
03:18Oh, come on. One more?
03:19I'm just trying to keep my mind off Maddie in the Junior Olympics.
03:22I really don't want her to leave.
03:24Have you heard anything?
03:25I keep my nose out of such affairs.
03:29Come on. One more game?
03:31Why don't you just get Joey to play with you?
03:33I mean, he's not leaving for his pottery class for a little while.
03:38Wait a minute. Pottery class?
03:41He told me he was meeting with his zombie appreciation society.
03:46Wait. He's lying to us?
03:49Why would you lie about doing either of those things?
03:53Unless you're doing something even more pathetic.
03:57What do you think he's up to?
04:00I don't know.
04:01Just when you think you have a munch all figured out, he throws you a curveball.
04:07Maybe he has a secret girlfriend.
04:16Okay, look. We need to figure out what Joey's hiding.
04:20Last time he had a secret, I woke up with 64 white mice in my bed.
04:26Wait. So are you saying this is an affair you would stick your nose in?
04:31Oh, Diggie.
04:32My nose goes where it's needed.
04:41Hey, Rooney. Did you hear anything from the Junior Olympics people?
04:44Uh, no. Still no letter.
04:47Wow. Serious?
04:48I said no letter!
04:53I'm sorry. I was just hoping for good news about the tryouts.
04:56Oh, wow. Okay. So you're saying you want me to move away for a year?
05:02That's not what I'm saying at all.
05:03Oh, okay. So then you don't want me to make the team.
05:08Oh, wow. No. Um, I want what you want.
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:13Exactly as much as you want it.
05:19Hey, Maddie. Hear anything from Junior Olympics?
05:22No!
05:23I swear, if one more person...
05:26Hey, Maddie. Did you hear me?
05:39Yes! Thank you for taking the bouncing upstairs, Maddie. It is so much better!
05:47Sorry. Any sign of the mail?
05:50No?
05:54You know what? I'll check again.
05:57Even though it's only been eight minutes since the last time...
06:03I'm sure the mailman is standing right there, about to knock.
06:10Got a certified letter for Maddie Rooney?
06:13Okay. Have a good day. Bye.
06:19Junior Olympics.
06:21Did it come?
06:25Um...
06:26Did you see that moment of hesitation where I almost did the right thing?
06:33No! No mail here.
06:37It was brief.
06:39But it was there.
06:41No!
06:41No!
06:42No!
06:43No!
06:43No!
06:44No!
06:44No!
06:48Dude, what are you wearing?
06:51We are not following Joey into the jungle.
06:55You don't know that.
06:57So, Maddie might move away, and now you're dressed like a shrub.
07:04I got big problems, kid.
07:09Leave them at the door.
07:11We have work to do.
07:13I installed a GPS tracking app on Joey's cell phone.
07:17Would you believe his password was one, two, three, four?
07:20What a munch.
07:23Total munch.
07:26Hey, can you teach me how to change the password on my phone?
07:29No!
07:46My GPS app just said, Joey entered the school.
07:51we just saw joey enter the school i know this thing's good huh
08:06okay i just don't get it who wouldn't mysteriously sneak out at night just to
08:10come back to school a teenage superhero who uses ridgewood high as his bat cave
08:18i knew his dorkiness was just too dorky to be anything but a secret identity
08:24dude i can't believe i have to say this out loud but joey is not a superhero
08:31now i'm embarrassed i brought it up
08:56you're welcome

09:29we're superheroes and this is our bat cave
09:38i didn't open maddie's letter but i struggled for hours about what to do with it in the end
09:45i decided there really only was one right thing to do hide it long enough for her to miss tryouts
