Side Hustle

Reindeer Lex, we earned these milkshakes.

You're right, Reindeer Presley.

Working at the mall at Santa's Village

was my favorite KidDING ever.

Yeah, I don't know what I liked more,

kids throwing up on me or trying to feed me carrots.

And the VIP section is ready.

When did the Mooery get a VIP section, Ty?

One of my customers just became a billionaire.

And when someone's wealthy,

you have to treat them differently.

-Wait, who's the billionaire? -Him.

Well, if you can't make my private plane

a convertible, I don't want it!

-Stump, you're a billionaire? -That's right.

I created my own cryptocurrency

called Stumpcoin.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but now I'm loaded.

What can I get you, Mr. Stump?

I'll take your most expensive milkshake.

But that's not all.

I also want a holiday concert

played right here at the Mooery.

And I want my favorite band, Mouth Noise, to play.

I still have my tattoo.

It still says Mouth Nose.

Never correct a billionaire.

The thing is, Mouth Noise hasn't played

since our last concert here.

Which was also our only concert.

Well, I'm not gonna take no for an answer.

And after you guys play, I'll give a big donation

to that charity that gives robots to kids.

Oh, Bots for Tots.

They do good work.

You know what? Let's do this.

Yes! Mouth Noise is back!

Come on, let's go find Munchy, Fisher, and Jaget

and get the band back together.

-Where should we start? -Well, Munchy's outside.

So it'd be weird to pass him and not ask him first.

Let's go.

Munchy, stop your mouth noise.

We're reuniting Mouth Noise!

Yes! Let's do this!

Let me just finish the arms for my snowman.

If he comes to life, I want to make sure we can high-five.

Hmm.

Fisher, we're getting Mouth Noise back together.

Sorry. I'm way too busy.

- -Aw!

Too busy joining the band

to finish this science project!

Let's rock and roll!

-Yeah! -Yeah!

So everybody's in except me.

-That's right. -Sounds like you need me

to play the drums or there's no band.

I'm in.

-Yes! -Yes!

Mouth Noise is back.

Under these 42 conditions.

One, a crosswalk in my dressing room.

Two, a hammerhead shark...

I'm gonna stop you right there.

Yeah. We can just use a drum machine.

It'll play and won't have demands.

-Great. Let's go. -Wait. I'm in.

If I can have this tree.

-No. -This pillow?

-Still no. -This pencil?

-Fine. -That's what I thought.

-Yeah, Mouth Noise is back! -Yeah!

Tedward, thanks for coming over.

Are you ready to pick names for Secret Santa?

I am. But where's everyone else?

You said we were having a family Secret Santa.

I know! And we're bros!

I already picked, but I'm not saying who I got.

I got you.

You're not supposed to tell me!

Hey, Fisher. Whoa! Holy moly.

Do you know what's on your T-shirt?

Yeah, it's an old video game based on an even older movie.

"E.P. The Excited Penguin."

When I was your age, I wanted that game

more than anything.

Wrote a letter to Santa every day,

ended up with socks.

Socks! Really, Santa?!

I was the exact same way.

About the game.

I love getting socks.

Yeah, that game is kind of a legend now.

It was so bad, they only sold, like, eight copies.

Yeah. I know.

But I never got the chance to know how bad it was!

Yeah, the company ended up trashing the rest of the games

just to get rid of them.

Really? I wish there was a way

we could find out where those games were trashed.

Yes, if only there was a place

with all the information on the planet

right in the palm of your hand.

Can you imagine?

I think he's talking about the Internet.

Is that right, son?

-Are you talking about the Internet? -Yes.

He's talking about the Internet.

All right, this has been weird.

Gotta go to band practice.

You're never gonna believe this.

Some of those games were buried in the Altoonisburg Dump.

We live in Altoonisburg!

Should we go try to find them?

Are you inviting me on a treasure hunt?

I feel just like the Excited Penguin!

Normally, I wouldn't do this,

but I'm sort of excited too!

So what song are you guys

gonna play for the concert tonight?

Luckily, Munchy had a new mouth noise stuck in his head.

Yeah. At first, I thought it was a cavity,

but then it turned out to be something beautiful.

And then, Presley and I wrote lyrics.

And it goes a little something like this.

One, two, three, four.

Hey, what are you doing? And why is the mayor here?

Please lower your voice.

Why are you whispering? And who are you people?

SHHH!

Don't you shush us.

No, we're from an organization called SHHH.

S-H-H-H.

It stands for Sensitive Hearing Hurts Here.

Sounds stupid!

We started this group to fight back

against all the loud noise in Altoonisburg.

They spent years pushing legislation through city hall.

These SHHH people are... persistent.

We've successfully removed sirens from fire engines.

And now, we're fighting against loud music.

Well, just because you don't like loud music

doesn't mean you need to take it away from everyone.

People making loud noises isn't fair to us.

And we're the only ones we really care about.

Now, if you'll excuse us, there are some baby birds

in a nearby tree chirping way too loudly.

Mayor Gildersleeve, isn't there anything you can do?

I'm sorry. It's the law.

If you play loud music, the police will shut you down.

So your concert is canceled.

Oh. And Happy holidays!

She is very lucky I'm not old enough to vote.

These SHHH people are ruining Christmas.

They banned caroling, crinkly wrapping paper,

and even people saying "ooooh"

when they see Christmas lights.

That's why we made the basement as quiet as possible.

Yeah, we can have our holiday concert here.

And those people with sensitive ears

won't even know.

And then, we can play our Christmas song

and Stump will give robots to deserving children.

So what you're saying is we kind of saved Christmas.

We're basically holiday heroes.

Okay, let's do this.

One, two, three, four.

Uh-oh.

Well, well, well...

What are you doing here? We didn't even make any noise.

And besides, we soundproofed this whole room.

-Yeah. -Oh, please.

We could hear you ripping that duct tape a mile away.

So inconsiderate.

I understand how hard it must be

to have sensitive ears, but I think if you heard our song,

the joy it brings to your heart

will outweigh the pain it brings to your ears.

We're reasonable people,

so we'll have a listen as long as you play quietly.

-All: Yes! -Ahh.

Sorry. We'll try that again.

All: Yes.

Well, Kevin, this is our first Christmas together

since I adopted you.

Hey, there's something I want you to know.

Everything the smell reaches is our kingdom.

And one day, this will all be yours.

-Hey, Briles. -Hey.

We're looking for something

that was buried here years ago.

Oh, you'll have to be more specific.

It's a very popular dump.

See, we're not officially part of any town.
