Cut to Mike and Spike playing a game of eight-ball pool in the Baby Seal. Pibby watches as Spike pockets the 8-ball.
Spike
GG.
Pibby
Ohhh, so that's how pool works! Just... strike what you see and go from there.
Team Umizoomi peek out of one of the pockets.
Milli
Trust the pattern, Pibby. Solids, then stripes.
Pibby
Oh yeah, that too.
Milli
Although things would be much different if we had a snooker table instead of a pool table.
Pibby
Snooker...
Milli
I-it's a little more complex. You get the reds first, then you get the rest of the colours, in sequence within a frame. That frame is basically an individual game in a snooker match. That's... quite the pattern, hehe!
Pibby
Ohhhhh!
Michael Bloomberg
Yknow, Milli... I was once watching a world championship snooker match in Sheffield back in 1982. They've been holding it at the Crucible since 1977; it's a theatre.
Bot
Huh...! I guess the English really do love their sports.
Michael Bloomberg
The thing about snooker is it's seen as more prestigious in the UK, whereas pool is more laid back. But the crowd is also quite relaxed, in a way like golf.
Michael Bloomberg
Steve Davis was the heavily favoured defending world champion, but lemme just say... he crashed hard. Tony Knowles, that son of a gun, shut on him 10–1.
8-Ball
Sigh, one off from my favourite number...
Bot
What kind of mathemagician would say that?
Bot looks down from the table to find BFB contestant 8-Ball, who is clearly bigger and thus not on the table.
Bot
Oh dear...
Geo
It's just a sphere, Bot. I would know.
Michael Bloomberg
Soooo... how do you find the bar?
Bot
...Hehehehehhhhhhh-
Fivey
Ohhhh, look what we have here! Ol' Mike's got a new bar! This day's full of firsts, eh?
Michael Bloomberg
Oh yeah. New competition. Like a decathlon but bigger. I don't know much about it though. But I'm sure it went somewhere.
Seinfeld
Jerry
Hmmmm...
Cut back to the Baby Seal. Spike is reading a newspaper while Bloomberg is talking with Spike and Pibby as Team Umizoomi on the pool table.
Spike
HMM. YA LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY, MAN.
Pibby
Oooh! What's in that newspaper?
Spike
LET'S SEE... A PICTISH SLAB IN A SCOTTISH MANSION... COACHING (AND WINNING) BACK-TO-BACK VANIER CUPS... 19th-CENTURY PERUVIAN LGBTQ+ HISTORY... 19th-CENTURY REMOTE WORKING...
Pibby
Remote working in the 19th century?
Spike
SHE WAS A TELEGRAPHIST. MAYBE SHE SENT OUT MORSE CODE MESSAGES IN HER OWN HOUSE?
Statler
What did she say out there?
Waldorf
Maybe something like, "SUX"?
Statler and Waldorf
Oh ho ho ho!
Geo
Oh, they really like it here. Hmph.
Pibby
I mean, sure, it's got all the chill vibes.
Geo
I was being sarcastic.
