Ernie, I hear you're an amateur botanist who believes some plants are baseball fans. Yes, ivy plants root for the Chicago Cubs and dream of being in Wrigley Field themselves on day. King Ferns are fans of the Kansas City Royals. Cattails follow the Detroit Tigers. And Redwood trees are huge supporters of their local team in San Francisco. That makes sense. Giants love the Giants! Redwood trees are the team's biggest fans! |

Guys from other countries need time to adjust to playing in America. It's a game of inches and they grew up with the metric system. |

We've had two weeks between the conference finals and the big game. With time for injuries to heal, we're physically ready for a peak performance. We watched hour after hour of video. Then spent long days on the practice field so we'll function as a team and not a collection of individuals. And once we finally finish preparing for the touchdown celebrations, we might have an or two to practice football. |

"With wins today, the Monster team and the Ghost team are moving on to the big game in two weeks." The Monsters will need to play better against the Ghosts. Dracula must come out for blood next time. And Frankenstein has to show up with his head on straight. If the fans hate the Ghosts, it might be impossible to beat them. Yeah, they love hearing "Boo!". |

This is great, Ernie, there's a pennant race and the ballpark is packed every day! The food selection here is unmatched anywhere! Today I've already had nachos, a bit of hot dog and some ice cream! Coming here always makes me queasy! Oh, the foods too much for you? No, I just get nervous in a place where the term "sacrifice fly" is used! |

Robot League Baseball. The player upgrades are great this year! New batteries and antennas will increase our home runs and decrease strike outs. They'll hit with more power, yet still make consistent contact! A software patch will cut down on errors. And the catcher's signs are encrypted now so they won't get stolen. Even with all that stuff, the most important upgrade is organic, grown in a biology lab! Yeah, every member of the pitching staff has a live arm! |

Look! Up in the sky! It's absurd! It's inane! It's "Malaprop Man"! Malaprop Man, you're a referee?! Yeah, I'm working at the Supper Bowl! I"ll get to see the cold day halftime show, too! I'm guarding these balls until kickoff. We don't want another debategate scandal! During the game I'll throw a flag whenever I see a penalty like pass incoherence, unnecessary gruffness ... two mini men on the field, or illegal backfield emotion! The last one's important, Malaprop Man ... there's no crying in football! |

Today, business expert, Professor Ernie, will answer questions. The first is from an upholsterer who has lots of business but loses money on every order. The problem is that you're covering everything except your costs! The owner of a baseball team wants to know if you he should re-sign the team's best player, the league leader in double and triples. I don't think he can afford the high base salary. And a perfume company is struggling to survive. Their strategy has been to only produce exotic fragrances. The problem is obvious! It's your complete lack of common scents! |

Frank & Ernest Signs Painted. Ernie, did you make the name plate for that radio station manager? Here it is --- "Ed Wilson, Air Head." And for the banker in charge of personal identification number? Yes --- "Sue Gray, Pin Head." And the World Boxing League President? "Joe Silver, Knuckle Head." These are terrible, Erine! You're a real bonehead! No, No ... that's the Chief of Orthopedics -- "Dr. Milburn, Bone Head." |

Wonderland Football League. Looks like another good squad this year, Coach. Did Pinocchio make the team? He's our nose tackle. What about Little Jack Horner? He'll play corner. I see Captain Hook's crocodile is here. He's the long snapper. And Peter Pan is a veteran player. But he never seems to get any older. Is he still fast enough? Are you kidding?! He can fly! |
