Did you know that most kids
make about 400 friends in their life?
-Wow! -Whoa!
That's a lot of sleepovers!
And how can you be a good friend?
And what does being a good friend even mean?
We'll find out as the world premiere
of our super-secret handshake!
BOTH: Fist bump, chomp, fist bump, chomp, boom!
Snap! Get groovy with it!
RIAH:
at a top secret frequency.
If you're receiving this transmission,
then congratulations.
You are officially awesome.
You're watching
bringing news for kids.
Welcome to
I'm Riah, Titus' friend.
And I'm Titus, Riah's friend.
We put together a super awesome team
of super awesome kid reporters,
to bring in the news from anywhere kids go,
which is pretty much everywhere.
Going back to school means
we can finally see our friends again!
That's why I'm here with my bestie, Raya,
R-A-Y-A.
[stammering] That's not how you spell my name,
it's R-I-A-H.
[crickets chirping]
-Whoa, sorry. -RIAH: How did you get
a Y from this?
TITUS: Looks like I gotta work on how to be a better friend.
That's okay.
Being a good friend isn't easy.
It takes a lot of work.
I don't wanna be a good friend.
I wanna be a great friend.
Me, too.
But how do you show your friends you care about them?
To find out, we sent Christian
to Best Friend Boot Camp,
where kids are working hard on their friendships.
[upbeat music playing]
There's a lot of excitement here
at Best Friend Boot Camp,
where good friends become great friends.
I can't wait for boot camp.
What brought you to boot camp?
My friend Jack won't let me play with his marble slide.
JACK: That's because you never take turns!
Yes, I do.
My turn are just really, really, really long.
[whistle blows]
Looks like you need to look at the first rule of friends up.
Sharing.
Sink or Share.
You got 30 seconds to show me what you got.
Ready, set, share!
[whistle blows]
[alarm blares]
[gasps] I'll take two.
And I'll take two.
[suspenseful music playing]
And we get this one in half.
CHRISTIAN: A strong start for these two.
They're sharing cookies for a very sweet deal.
-[cheerful music playing] -[chuckles]
AVA:
Uh-oh. Three balls and two friends?
What do you do?
I'll take two and you can have one.
-[buzzer buzzes] -That's not fair.
[whimsical music playing]
JACK:
then she'll have two and that's not fair either.
Thanks, Jack.
CHRISTIAN: Oh, Jack, with a last-minute save.
So sweet.
[dramatic music playing]
They're back in the game with only seconds to go.
AVA:
And now for the hippity-hop balls.
-[suspenseful music playing] -Whoa!
How will they bounce out of this one?
JACK: I know. We can share by taking turns.
-Great idea. Me first. -No, me.
I'm older, so I should go first.
-No, me! -JACK: No, me!
-[whistle blows] -ROSIE: No, me!
CHRISTIAN: Looks like this friendship
is having some ups and downs.
-It was my ball first! -No, my ball!
CHRISTIAN: Well, will they be able to bounce back?
We're standing by to find out.
So, to be a good friend,
you need to know how to share.
Definitely. Want some?
RIAH: Titus, there's nothing in here.
[laughs]
TITUS: Sorry, I got hungry.
Maybe there's other ways to be a good friend.
I sure hope so.
We sent Kid Correspondents Rosie and Ava to find out.
[upbeat music playing]
We're on a break from Best Friend Boot Camp.
And we are here to ask other kids
how to be a good friend.
What's the most important part
of being a good friend?
-To share love. -Well, you have to have
virtues and loyalty and kindness.
It's about standing up for each other.
Having to see my friends
and having a great trip together.
What do you do to be a good friend?
I write them cards and sometimes,
I make them laugh a lot.
I feel empathy for them when they get hurt
because it happens a lot, so I could practice.
When they're sad, I help them.
Just be awesome with them.
Do you wanna be friends?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Yes. -Yeah, yeah.
I do wanna be friends with you.
I would say I would try and see if it works.
We learned two things today.
Caring is really important.
And it's really easy to make new friends.
BOTH: Back to you Riah and Titus.
-[gasps] -ROSIE: Cookies.
Where are the cookies?
Looks like being a good friend means you have to share
and care.
And we can do that everywhere.
-Hey, I rhymed. -You sure did.
But how can we show our friends we care?
Viviona has the latest trends for being good friends.
See, I can rhyme, too.
TITUS: I heard that.
[laughs]
[whimsical music playing]
Hi, friends, Viviona here
with the Inside Scoop
and how to show your friends you care.
What's yum? Making your friend laugh.
-[blows] -[laughs]
What's yuck? Making other people laugh at your friend?
Attention everybody, Christian is afraid of spiders.
-[buzzer buzzes] -Can you believe that?
What's yum? Surprising them with something nice.
What's yuck? Surprising them with something scary.
[ominous music playing]
-[screams] -[quacking]
What's yum? Helping your friend if they need it.
VIVIONA: What's yuck? Charging them for it.
That'll be $1 billion.
No!
And that's the Inside Scoop on how to show your friends
that you care.
Back to you, Riah and Titus.
Thanks, Viviona.
Wait, we're getting breaking news
from Christian at Best Friend Boot Camp.
We're back at Best Friend Boot Camp,
where Jack and Rosie are finishing a heated round
of arts and cares.
They're making drawings for each other,
which is a very caring thing to do.
[Ava yawns]
[whistle blows]
Crayons down, everybody!
Tensions are high, as we wait for the results.
[whimsical music playing]
I made a dancing heart for Jack.
And I drew this picture of me and Rosie playing together.
Well done, recruits!
You must care a lot about each other.
Jack's art is so much better than mine.
I'll never be as good as he is.
[dramatic music playing]
CHRISTIAN:
on the thorny roads of friendship.
Will these two make it through boot camp?
Stay tuned to find out.
Oh, no. Rosie's upset
because she was comparing herself to Jack.
I sure hope that never happens to us.
Super-secret handshake!
BOTH: Fist bump, chomp, fist bump, chomp, boom! Snap!
-Fist bump! -Get groovy with it!
Oh, dang it.
I messed up.
You're so much better at it.
Oh, no, it happened to us! What do we do?
Let's ask a grown-up.
♪
-Button! -[buzzer buzzes]
[laughs]
I like saying button when I hit a button.
[cheerful music playing]
Hey, Riah, hi, Titus.
TITUS:
Hi. I've got a question.
Ask away.
What do you do when you think
that your friend is better than you are?
That's a great question.
Whenever I think that, I tell myself,
-"Don't compare." -Yeah.
True friends always cheer each other on no matter what.
TITUS: Even if they never make a mistake
on their secret handshake, ever?
RIAH: And what do you do when you and your friend
are different?
ROI: More than likely,
they feel the same way about you.
So if something good happened to your friend,
celebrate like it happened to you.
I guess you're right.
-Thanks! -Awesome!
See you later!
-Secret handshake? -Uh-hmm.
Wow! I feel so much better!
Me, too! Hold on!
I'm getting more breaking news from Best Friend Boot Camp.
I got an exclusive interview with Rosie,
who feels bad after comparing herself to Jack.
He's better than I am in everything.
JACK: Rosie,
you got so many things that I'm not,
like, back bends and tongue twisters.
I guess I am good at a lot of things.
Thanks, Jack.
AVA: Aww.
Don't forget about me.
We're all friends here.
CHRISTIAN: As you can see, it's time for a hug
here at Best Friend Boot Camp,
where good friends become great friends.
[dramatic music playing]
[laughter]
I'm so glad Rosie and Jack made up.
Yeah.
Celebrating is so much better than comparing.
Speaking of celebrating,
it's time to celebrate our Kid of the Week!
♪
Mind...
boom.
[cheerful music playing]
RIAH:
When Brennan found out that his friend Kira
had a condition called epilepsy,
he decided to help.
So he created baseball games,
for people to learn what to do
if someone has a seizure.
Now, he's trying to get a law passed
to help people who have epilepsy.
It's called Brennan's Bill.
And he was inspired to do all this great stuff
because of his friend, Kira.
And do you know what else is great?
Brennan and Kira are joining us now.
Hi, Riah and Titus.
-BOTH: Hi. -Brennan,
what have you done for Kira to show you care?
When I found out that Kira had epilepsy,
I wrote a bill to spread seizure awareness,
and we learned to keep in touch
to know how each other are doing.
Kira, what does it feel like to have a friend like Brennan?
KIRA: I feel loved and grateful
that I have a friend like Brennan.
What do you like most about each other?
BRENNAN: What I like most about Kira
is that she's not afraid to be herself,
and she's comfortable doing what she wants to do,
and I think that's very cool.
KIRA: I like how he always tries his best to do something for me,
and he's very hardworking.
Brennan and Kira, your friendship is awesome.
And for that, you get a Kid of the Week trophy!
BOTH: Wow, thank you, Riah and Titus.
Wow! Our Kids of the Week are such good friends.
They are definitely worth celebrating.
You know, what?
All friends are worth celebrating.
RIAH: So, what makes a great friend?
Someone who shares with you.
Someone who cares about your feelings.
Someone who believes in you.
And celebrates your victories.
And do you know where to find a great friend?
You can start by looking in the mirror.
That's right. It's you!
So thank you for being a great friend.
Yay for super awesome amazing friends!
-Woo-hoo! -Woo-hoo!
As often Linda Grayson once said,
"There's nothing better than friend,
unless it's a friend with chocolate!"
Yay!
Whoa! Thanks, Riah!
Now, that's a reason to dance!
[both grunting]
[upbeat music playing]
Bye, everyone! See you next time.
And don't forget to make up your own secret handshake.
BOTH: Fist bump, chomp, fist bump, chomp!
Boom! Snap!
Get groovy with it.
We did it!
Awesome.
[upbeat music playing]
Time for the finale.
-Oh, oh! -Oh, no!
RIAH: Save the chocolate!
And what does a good friend even being mean then?
[laughter]
[squeaks]
-[makes sound] -[laughs]
-Fist bump. [laughs] -Fist bump, chomp.
-Fist bump. All right. -[laughs]
Why is there so many bloopers in one day?
