## Lyrics

**Zach**

Ooohhhhh

Oh ooohhhhh

Oh Ooohhh

The lightning strikes on the broadsword

As the man comes forth again.

The bats fly out of the tower

And the mermaids are their friends.

**Jess**

Three tiny witches, but also big witches

Expanding in the sky,

Reminding that we try

To unleash that ancient gemstone,

**Zach**

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

**Both**

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

**Zach**

Magic cloud from the owl's voice.

Strings in the infant's mind.

The clock counts down from midnight to one

And there's never enough time.

**Jess**

And there's no Theseus here,

No ancient ball of twine.

So you won't get out of this riddle,

The riddle's only in your mind.

**Both**

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

**Zach**

Shadows from the hallway.

Vampires on the lawn.

**Jess**

Whispers in the background

Moving other pawns.

**Zach**

Dragons in the courtyard.

Griffins on the roof.

**Jess**

Phoenixes in your cupboard

And a secret in your tooth.

**Zach**

Pixies in the garden.

Angels in the night.

**Jess**

Kelpies in your bathtub

Giving you a fright.

**Zach**

Chupacabras on the beltway

Manticores on the-

Where are the manticores?

Where are the manticores?

Where are the manticores?

**Both**

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

Do you dare face the Minotaur's stare?

Do you dare?

Do!

You!

Dare?

**Zach**

Oooaaaooooahhh

**Jess**

Hooooaaaaahhhoah

**Zach (doing sound effects)**

*Swoooooosh*

*Swoooooosh*

**Jess (spoken)**

*Wisdom.*

## Lyrics

**Carol**

What if we split a particle?

What if we split it up some more?

What if we split it up and we see what's in store

We're gonna collide these particles at rates we've never seen

If it causes a black hole

Well, did we mean

But we do it for science

Do it for science

We can do anything for science

We do it for science

We do it for science

We fund a function, and then we apply it

**Christina**

Everybody knows that atoms are the smallest

What if we found something smaller?

Everybody knows that giants are the tallest

What if we found someone taller?

**Carol (spoken)**

*Yeah!*

**Clarence (spoken)**

*Taller than a giant!*

Everyone knows that a quark

Is so hard to see in a microscope

Regardless of whether or not it's dark

**All**

But we do it for science

Science (science)

We do it for science

We do it for science (science)

We do it for science (science)

**Carol**

We discover and we try it

**Clarence**

Every morning

I open my closet and it's lab coat after coat after coat

**Christina**

What else would there be?

**Clarence**

Nothing! It's all I wanna wear

And I look damn good in one

Though I don't mean to gloat

**Christina**

Where are my goggles?

**Clarence**

Where are my gloves?

**Christina**

Where are my beakers?

**Clarence**

All I know is that I'd rather be a scientist than some sort of political speaker

**All**

For science (science)

We do it for science

We do it for science (for science)

Science

Everything we do, we do for science

## Episode Description

Well, well, well look at you, here for a Fam Band ep. Good choice. You may not get to hear the entire version of *"Pete and Pete, Funky Soccer Cleats,"* but you will get to listen to everyone really try to keep the goo of their brains inside long enough to give you this delightful episode.

## How Fast Did You Knew?

This is a new game show whose rules change with whoever the host is. In Jess' version, the band plays a song and the contestant guesses what song it is, and they are timed by how fast they recognized the song. In Peter Cottontale's version, the contestant guesses the amount of time it took for him to recognize the song. It makes no more sense in context.

	+ Hosted by Jessica McKenna, Peter Cottontale as a contestant
	+ Peter knew in 13 seconds!
* Round Two: Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
	+ Hosted by Peter Cottontale, Jessica McKenna as a contestant

* Round Three: In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

## Lyrics

**Carol**

Think of how a star had to explode for you to even be alive

Think of how you're made of carbon and stardust, how you thrive

And if you should turn yourself and the rest of the world back to the start

Then it might just be worth it to take this shot in the dark

A shot in the dark

**Little Quark #1 (spoken)**

*Oh my god, you guys, I feel like I'm moving so fast, I wanna collide so bad right now!*

**Little Quark #2 (spoken)**

*I'm gonna collide with you!*

**Little Quark #3 (spoken)**

*Oh my God, I can't wait to collide!*

**All quarks**

Woah, woah, woah, let's collide

Woah, woah, woah, let's collide

**Little Quark #2**

It's just a shot through a quark

**Little Quark #1 and #2**

It's just a shot through a quark

This is a segment where the hosts take gossip that's too boring and imagine things that would make the physical gossip more tasty.

* Principal Genevia Skylark was at the grocery store, picked up two pears, squeezed them, and then put one back. Imagine that, but covered in tumeric.
* The Protegé contractors building the bridge over 4th Street only got those contracts because Janet Protegé's father is a corrupt businessman who holds the mayor in her pocket. And also the bridge has cinnamon on it!
* When captain Kelly of the cheerleading team was putting on her skirt for the football game, she actually put it a little lower so you couldn't see her knees. And when she was pulling it down, she slipped on a banana peel.
