Two animated brains move over a line maze. Two chomping halves of an animated pink brain join together. Text on banners over the brain reads, “Hungry Brain!”

[Upbeat music plays]

A voice says, HUNGRY BRAIN!

[Upbeat music plays]

A person wearing a robot head walks in slow motion on the roof of a house with a giraffe’s head breaking through a hole. A broken window on the house's second storey has a bandage over it.

A narrator says, HEY, MAN, IS IT JUST ME, OR ARE YOU EVEN SLOWER THAN USUAL?

[Laughter]

The narrator says, AH. IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THE TOP ON TAI CHI.

Episode title: The Top on Tai Chi.

[Whooshing]

A person practices Tai Chi in front of the rising sun. Another person wears a white Tai Chi uniform.

The narrator says, TAI CHI IS A TRADITIONAL CHINESE MARTIAL ART. BACK IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, IT WAS A COMBAT SPORT.

[Vocalizing, sighing]

The person with the robot moves their arms. The person sits in an armchair and reads a book.

The narrator says, TODAY, PEOPLE PRACTICE IT TO CHILLAX AND IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH. OKAY, READING A GOOD BOOK IS RELAXING, TOO, BUT WAIT 'TIL YOU GET A LOAD OF THESE MOVES THAT ARE GUARANTEED TO GET YOUR CHI FLOWING.

[Boinging]

The number four appears.

The narrator says, NUMBER FOUR: THE OPENING.

[Honking, slide whistle]

The robot-headed person stands with their feet shoulder-width apart.

The narrator says, STAND WITH YOUR FEET SHOULDER WIDTH APART, AND WITH YOUR BACK STRAIGHT.

[Zapping]

The narrator says, NICE.

[Inhaling, exhaling]

The robot-headed person moves their arms up and down.

The narrator says, INHALE RAISING YOUR ARMS LIKE THIS, THEN EXHALE LOWERING THEM DOWN. INHALE. EXHALE. IS IT RELAXING, ISN'T IT?

[Whooshing, spraying]

The robot-headed person holds a spray bottle and a rag.

The narrator says, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THOUGHT YOU'D DOUBLE UP AND CLEAN YOUR BEDROOM WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME. CHILL, BROTHER.

[Boinging]

The number three appears.

The narrator says, NUMBER THREE: THE SINGLE WHIP. MAN, THIS ISN'T A WESTERN. WATCH AND LEARN.

[Whip cracking, boinging]

The robot-headed person pretends to swing a whip over their head.

The narrator says, THIS IS A CLASSIC MOVEMENT IN TAI CHI THAT CAN BE DONE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A 180 DEGREE ROTATION, FOLLOWED BY A WEIGHT TRANSFER.

[Zapping]

In a field, a grey-haired man demonstrates the Single Whip.

The narrator says, THAT'S IT.

[Clinking]

The robot-headed person whisks eggs in a bowl.

The narrator says, WHAT THE... THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER KIND OF WHIP, MAN.

[Slide whistle]

The robot-headed person says, HUH?

The narrator says, NO, DOING IT SLOWLY DOESN'T COUNT. BUT IF YOU'RE MAKING AN OMELETTE, CAN I HAVE SOME?

[Boinging]

The number two appears.

[Whooshing, zapping]

A person touches the side of a seated woman’s knee. The robot-headed person sits at the roof's edge and rubs their knee.

The narrator says, NUMBER TWO: BRUSH KNEE. OH, I KNEW YOU'D LIKE THIS. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS TOUCH YOUR KNEE, RIGHT? WRONG.

[Zapping]

In the field, the grey-haired man slowly moves his arms and legs.

The narrator says, THAT'S A REAL KNEE SLAPPER, MAN. TAI CHI IS NOT ABOUT SPEED, BUT ABOUT PRECISION AND FLUIDITY OF MOVEMENTS. GO WITH THE FLOW, MAN. OKAY, YOUR MOVES ARE PRETTY SMOOTH, BUT IT LOOKS MORE LIKE BASKETBALL THAN TAI CHI.

[Clicking, laughing]

The robot-headed person flicks their wrist and steps to the side.

The narrator says, I GUESS IT'S BETTER THAN DRIBBLING.

[Boinging]

The number one appears.

The narrator says, NUMBER ONE: GRASPING SPARROW'S TAIL.

[Sparrow squawking]

The robot-headed person flaps their hands.

The narrator says, IT MAY SOUND LIKE IT'S FOR THE BIRDS, BUT THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT MOVE.

[Zapping]

By narrow rocky stairs, the grey-haired man demonstrates the move. He slowly and smoothly moves his hands up and then downwards.

The narrator says, BEGINNERS MUST MASTER THIS SEQUENCE OF MOVEMENTS. LEARNING TO GRASP THE SPARROW'S TAIL WILL HELP THEM LEVEL UP TO MORE ADVANCED MOVEMENTS. NOW YOU TRY IT.

[Whooshing, flapping]

The robot-headed person puts their hands together and flaps their fingers. They lift off the roof.

The narrator says, OH, MAN. NO NEED TO GET IN A FLAP ABOUT IT. WELL, THAT CERTAINLY KILLS TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. IT MAY NOT BE TAI CHI, BUT IT'S QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
