Since pickleball is becoming popular, Sesame Street decided to do an episode on it. Rudy wants to play pickleball he tried everything including magic from his sister Abby which ended the ball in space which became pickleball in space later on. Then Rudy got frustrated so he wiggled it out and he got it. We get a new segment where Tamir, Ji-young and Rosita lost a soccer game and Billie Jean king comes and talks about tennis. In a new Mecha builders segemnt, grandma gets so good at soccer ball it goes through the goal and Nat goes long to get it so the Mecha builders building something to stop it from happening. In Nature Explorers, We find ways that animals play.

I’m getting so good with stress medicine. You see I have autism and with a little help from this season I’m at 90 percent of being normal.

Interesting. If wiggling helps people with autism when they're frustrated maybe I should try it. (In fact it would have been neat if Julia would have participated in this game.)
