Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Telly introduces the sponsors for today while walking with Gordon. Oscar points out that today, Slimey will also be performing a new trick - he'll dive into the swimming pool inside his trash can all the way from the playground. Gordon is skeptical given how far it is, so he and Telly decide to go to the playground in the park to see how this will work. Grundgetta and Slimey also head in that direction, while Oscar pesters her over their walkie-talkies.
 	SCENE 1 	At the playground, Slimey gets into position as Grundgetta explains how the trick will work: Slimey sits on one end of the see-saw, and when Jenna see-saws down, Slimey will be flung in the air toward the trash can. After the countdown, Gordon helps push Jenna down on the see-saw and Slimey goes flying... right onto Telly's head. Grundgetta blames him for Slimey's failure while Telly points out he wouldn't have gone far anyway, but he's still proud of Slimey for his first try.

 	SCENE 2 	Gordon places Lonnell on Jenna's side of the see-saw, believing the more weight they have the farther Slimey will fly. As the countdown begins, Telly can't decide on whether to stay at the playground or Oscar's can to witness the next attempt, eventually deciding to rush to the trash can to see the splashdown. Slimey is rocketed toward the sky and almost reaches the trash can, but misses and lands on Telly's head again. Grundgetta accuses Telly of ruining Slimey's stunt once more.
