0:00.0	Hello friends, benders and non-benders alike, welcome to Braving the Elements, Nickelodeon's
0:29.1	podcast about all things avatars. Again, I sounded like I was warning people, I don't know where's
0:34.7	that has come from, but suddenly now I'm like, you better be ready for the avatars podcast. I'm
0:41.5	Jan and Barney. And I'm Dante Bosco and they better be ready because we have some special guests
0:47.6	in the house today, Barney. But before we get too deep into this episode, I am budding in here on
0:52.8	my own. Dante and I are separately traveling to New York, Comic Con, but we wanted to quickly get
0:57.9	this piece of information in as a break bite for this episode because it comes right off the
1:03.7	heels of the waterbending scroll. So here we go, a new break bite. And in this case, it was generated
1:10.9	by you, specifically at geek potatoes on Twitter who said, hey, avatar people can someone explain
1:18.7	why this monkey in season one episode nine got so much attention and then disappeared. I feel like

1:47.1	I heard back from Brian. Hi Janet. Maybe Mike has more info since I don't think I was in the
1:52.3	writer's room when they came up with this. I just recall working on the design with Aldina Diaz,
1:56.8	our prop designer. I think it was mostly her drawing and I might have done a few tweaks to it.
2:01.2	I don't think it was any big Easter egg or reference just a bit of random silliness. But again,
2:05.5	Mike might know more. And this is what Mike had to say. I know nothing. I'm thinking it was probably
2:10.3	a moment of John O'Brien, random humor since it was his episode. But sorry, no great back story
2:15.0	to it, which probably doesn't help. And you know what I said friends? I said it does help because
