? My beat, my drum ?

So we just got back from the Music Icon Awards and we didn't win one.

- We won four! - [giggles]

Album of the Year, Best Record, Best Female Pop Group,

Best Music Video, Best Country Album.

Whops, wait, that's not ours.

- Well, keeping it anyway. - Jade!

Fine. I'll put it in our "return to Shaboozey" pile.

Okay, on to the Ask Us Anything.

"Electric Bloom has fans all over the world,

"but you must have some haters too, right?

"How do you all handle that?"

Great question.

Look, of course we've had some haters. Still do.

But we know how to let the hate roll off our backs.

But we haven't always been this cool about it.

It's a skill we learned from some very unlikely people.

Not them.

Sorry, guys. Ventriloquist Club meets in room 318.

See you in my nightmares!

Ladies!

I appreciate you helping me with the school's

Save the Music concert fundraiser.

Our instrument budget was cut so much,

we're this close to using boba straws as flutes.

Yeah, this school definitely needs some new instruments.

How old is this tuba?

What tuba?

Happy to help, Mr. B. You've always been a huge supporter of our music.

You guys are good. That's why I chose you to play the fundraiser.

Electric Bloom is gonna put butts in seats and help sell tickets.

We're on it. Already promoting the show on our socials.

Appreciate you ladies. All right, I gotta go.

I also run Ventriloquist Club.

How did it come to this, Clarence?

We gotta help that man.

I'm gonna make another post.

Ooh, cool! A lot of people commenting

they're excited to see the show.

Oh, no.

Someone named The Edi$on Troll hit us with a lot of trash emojis.

They're calling us trash?

No! They're just asking a question.

Yes. There will be waste receptacles at the fundraiser.

Thank you for considering Mother Earth.

They also posted puke emojis.

They're saying our music makes them want to throw up?

No, they're just asking another question.

Yes, our shows do rock.

You may experience motion sickness.

Ask your doctor if Electric Bloom is right for you.

"Electric Bloom stinks."

Tulip. Any thoughts on that one?

Well, it could be...

It might mean...

Oh, no. We have our first hater.

Unless...

No, no.

[Electric Bloom] ? You and me ?

? You and I ?

? I got your back and you got mine ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go, we go together ?

? It's all for one ?

? It's you and me ?

? Because all we are is all we need ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go, we go together ?

So we had our first online hater, The Edi$on Troll.

Which meant someone at our school was messing with our heads

while we were trying to get ready for the fundraiser.

So to make the troll go away, we decided to combat hate with love.

[Posey reading]

Oh.

Hi.

We're Electric Bloom.

Recently, we've noticed some comments on our socials that are...

Tulip, how would you describe them?

Unpleasant.

Yes. And that makes the world...

Tulip?

Unpleasanter.

Well said.

So please, don't choose hate. Choose love.

Because you can't spell love without some of the letters from Electric Bloom.

[all] Cheers to you.

Let's see The Edi$on Troll try to hate on us after that love fest.

Excuse me?

I know they're not talking about us.

How dare you, sir? You don't even know my hamster!

Clearly, our "fight hate with love" video didn't work.

I don't understand.

We're delightful. Who at this school would ever hate us?

[singing in Spanish] ? Las Dos Shellys, leaving Espanol ?

? Muy bien! ?

[giggling]

Mystery solved.

- We know it's you. - Excuse me, bro?

You're The Edi$on Troll, and you've been bashing us online.

Ew, gross. We would never post anonymously.

That would take away all the joy

of saying exactly how we feel right to your face.

Yeah, like this.

Your shoelaces are trying too hard,

your pinky nail is chipped, and your hair smells like no. Bye!

- Okay, it's not them. - Yeah, definitely not.

The bottle said "coconut dream."

- Hey. - Hey.

Oh. You seem down.

Still dealing with that Edi$on Troll stuff?

Yeah. You know, it's so sweet that you know my heys.

The one I like the most is, "Hey."

That's the one I like.

Yeah, the one I like is, "Hey!"

There's four other people standing here. Don't be weird.

Guys. You're clearly upset about this troll.

What if the three of us help find them

so you can focus on your fundraising gig?

- You think you can find them? - More than think.

I'll give you The Vince guarantee.

Whoa, wait. The Vince guarantee? That's big time.

- Hundred percent success rate. - I'm in.

Wow. Thanks, guys. That really helps us out.

All right. Well, we gotta get to class.

Bye, D.

[shouting] I said no!

Okay, boys, there's a process to this.

Step one, we use logic to narrow down the list of suspects.

Yeah. Find a motive.

Speaking of, Lucas,

you asked Posey to the dance and she said no.

That's a motive.

- Are you the troll? - No.

- Prove it. - No.

He's clean.

Later that day, we were rehearsing for the fundraiser,

but we were a little preoccupied with our online critic.

[? off-key music playing]

Okay. This is ridiculous.

I agree.

We should just ditch our instruments and commit to scrolling.

No! Opposite!

We need to get away from all this negative energy and do something fun,

preferably somewhere with good food and bad cell service.

[gasps] I know just the place.

It's super old school and very '80s.

[? pleasant music playing]

So you meant the people that come here

are super old school and in their 80s?

I know. It gets wild in here.

And wait until you try the soup.

It's the perfect tepid temperature.

Which is great because my doc's been on me about my salt intake.

How sure are we that Tulip isn't actually 75 years old?

Tulip, doll!

It's been way too long. How the heck are you?

Still kicking.

Jade, Posey, this is Eddie.

He runs the joint.

Nice to meet you ladies.

Although, I have some bad news.

- You're out of the soup? - Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lower your voice.

What, are you trying to start a riot in here?

It's our lounge singers. They're a no-show.

So, no performance tonight. Sorry.

We can help! We're singers!

Uh, Tulip? We're a pop band.

Yeah. We don't know how to lounge sing.

I don't think that we should... Oh, she's already on stage. [chuckles]

Remember, slow it down and add some pizazz. [laughs]

Start in the key of C, boys. Keep up with my changes,

and for goodness sake, lay off the hi-hat, Lenny.

[? drum roll]

? Oh, every song, every minute, when we're side by side ?

? No limits, no limits, yeah ?

? Oh, and it's just the beginning when we hit the lights ?

? No limits, no limits, yeah ?

More shoulder shimmies.

Too much shoulder shimmies. It starts to get offensive.

? Na, na, na, na, yeah ?

? Na, na, na, na ?

? No limits, no limits ?

? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! ?

? No limits! ?

[applauding]

Now, that's how you razzle dazzle 'em!

We had a blast.

When we were up on that stage, we felt totally free.

No judgment, no haters.

And we did so well, Eddie invited us back the next night.

He called us last minute, so we just had to throw on whatever we had lying around.

Anybody in the house want to hear some music?

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you all.

? All, all, all it takes is one little spark to start a fire ?

? That can light, that can light the whole world up ?

? You'll always only ever be ?

? The one, the one, the one for me, yeah ?

That one goes out to Cindy and Bob,

who are celebrating their 50th anniversary.

We should all be so lucky.

? My beat ?

? My drum ?

? My beat, my drum ?

Jade, bring us home!

? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh ?

? My beat, my drum ?

? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh ?

? My beat, my drum ?

[applauding]

Thank you. We're Electric Bloom. Good night!

Well, good afternoon. It's only 5:00 p.m.

Wow, you people eat early.

Hiya. I'm Dolores. These are my friends, Georgie and Ethel.

We're the Lounge Ladies.

Legendary Jersey City band.

We perform here.

That's great. We'll have to come see you sometime.

- Thanks. Bye. - Oh, um...

I misspoke.

We used to perform here.

Until one night we were a little late,

because of none of your business,

and another act took our spot, lost us our gig.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

You should be.

It was you, and you, and you!

Yep, we took the Lounge Ladies' gig, but we didn't mean to.

No matter how much we apologized

and begged Eddie to give the Lounge Ladies their gig back, he wouldn't.

And then, things got worse.

Guys, guys!

The Edi$on Troll just reposted a video and tagged us in it.

Attention, fans of the Lounge Ladies.

[Georgie] Ethel, you gotta pull it away from your face or no one can see.

Give it to me.

We want to let you all know we will no longer be performing at Eddie's,

thanks to a certain band who shall remain nameless.

Electric Bloom!

Fine. Electric Bloom.

But the girls themselves shall remain nameless.

Posey, Jade and Tulip.

Yeah, them. They got us canned.

I'm gonna look at the comments now.

- Posey, no, Posey... - Posey, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[all scream]

[? upbeat music playing]

Once that video of the Lounge Ladies dropped, we got a lot of heat.

We had to act fast to clear our name,

so we made a video about how we're not bad people

and never meant to get the Lounge Ladies fired.

We told the Internet to stop with the hate.

It's getting old.

And then the Internet did what the Internet does.

- Hey. - We're Electric Bloom.

We are bad people...

Who get people fired.

- Also... - We hate...

Old people.

I'm so mad at us.

When did we make that video?

Tulip, we never made it.

The Edi$on Troll mashed it up to make us look like monsters.

Well, it worked.

We disgust me.

This is gonna be bad.

It already is.

"Boycott Electric Bloom"?

Great. Everyone at school hates us now.

- Now? - [both laugh]

- Remember when you said "Now"? - [both laugh]

Ladies! Guess what I'm playing?

The world's tiniest violin because you feel so bad for us?

Wrong. It's no violin, because the school can't afford any

because the fundraiser hasn't sold any tickets,

because Electric Bloom can't stay off the dang Internet.

- So you saw the video of us... - Yep.

- And the one where we... - Uh-huh.

Okay. I know how to fix this.

- We'll just make another video... - No more videos.

Try doing something IRL that makes people like you instead of hate you.

The music program really needs this fundraiser to raise funds.

We're right there with you, Mr. B. We won't let you down.

Thanks, ladies. All right. I'm gonna make some videos to promote this fundraiser.

So you get to make videos?

I ain't got no haters.

[? upbeat music playing]

[slurping]

Great idea coming here, Vince.

Return to the scene of the Lounge Lady crime. Maybe find the troll.

Hey, I gave those girls The Vince guarantee.

Also, I heard the soup here was good.

And it is.

[smacks lips]

It really is.

[phone chimes]

The troll just posted again.

"Electric Bloosers"?

They're getting smarter.

Or sloppier.

Hey, Dante, couldn't help but notice, but you were on your phone

at the exact same time the comment posted.

Oh, excuse me, ma'am.

Could I get some of those tiny crackers, please? Thank you.

- Are you saying I'm the troll? - What I'm saying is...

Oh, not these. The salted ones, please.

What I'm saying...

is that you spend a lot of time with Jade.

Yeah, and Jade does spend a lot of time with Electric Bloom.

Exactly.

Maybe Dante's motive is to end Electric Bloom

so he can have Jade all to himself.

Or... I was sending Jade a selfie of us.

He's clean.

[slurping]

Tickets to the fundraiser were not selling.

We needed to do damage control.

So we invited the Lounge Ladies to our school

to publicly apologize for taking their gig.

Fellow students of lunch,

what happened with the Lounge Ladies was a misunderstanding.

We never meant to take their gig,

and we are not enemies of the elderly.

I love elderly people!

I plan to become one someday.

There's been one inside me yearning to break free for years.

What we're trying to say is, Dolores, Ethel, Georgie, we're sorry.

Which is why we got you this cake that says, "We're sorry."

We wanted to say more, but they charge by the letter.

Wow.

You girls are too sweet.

We accept your apology.

There's no beef between us.

And now,

to answer the other question that you girls asked us before we got out here.

I'm sorry, what... What question?

These magnanimous girls told us it's not enough just to say "I'm sorry."

They said it wouldn't feel good

unless we played the fundraiser concert tonight instead of Electric Bloom.

And we humbly accept their offer.

[cheering]

Hang on, hang on.

We definitely did not...

Did not anticipate this level of enthusiasm

for these fine performers.

And we humbly accept your humble acceptance of our offer,

which we definitely made, to play the gig that was once ours.

The end.

Ticket sales are picking up. You girls are amazing!

I'm proud of you.

You stole our gig.

What goes around comes around, sweetheart.

Thanks for the free cake.

Next time, get red velvet.

[? upbeat music playing]

I'm still so angry!

I know! Those Lounge Ladies stole our gig right out from under us.

If I wasn't so mad, I'd be impressed.

What a waste of cake!

We gotta do something about this.

It's time to fight fire with fire.

So we came up with a plan.

Not one we're proud of, but a plan nonetheless.

Okay, here's how it's gonna go down.

First, we lure the Lounge Ladies into this classroom,

with something no self-respecting senior citizen can resist.

A good deal.

[Tulip's voice] Look, gals! Coupons.

Fifteen percent off blouses at Blouses and Stuff!

[Posey's voice] I love that place!

They have the best stuff!

[Tulip] And once we get 'em inside the classroom, we lock 'em inside.

[all scream]

[Jade's voice] Hey, we're stuck in here screaming for help!

Why can't you hear us?

[Tulip] I'll tell you why. Because on the other side of the door,

we'll have a very loud white noise machine.

[white noise playing]

[crying for help]

[white noise playing]

[Jade] Meanwhile, the crowd at the fundraiser will grow restless

because the Lounge Ladies are a no-show.

[Jade's voice] Where's the music?

We need to save the music program!

Also, random thought.

Has anyone noticed how super cool and awesome Jade is?

[Posey's voice] Okay, girl, reel it in.

[Tulip's voice] But you make a good point,

Dante I-don't-know your-last-name.

Who will save the music?

We need some heroes!

[? triumphant music playing]

Did someone say heroes?

Electric Bloom is here to save the day!

And the school's music program!

Let's rock!

Music program saved!

[Tulip] And The Edi$on Troll will apologize in a very sincere way.

[Tulip's voice] I'm The Edi$on Troll, and I am now apologizing

in a very sincere way.

[Posey] And everyone else who ever said mean things to us will apologize too.

[Posey's voice] Bro. You made me rethink

my whole opinion of Electric Bloom.

So to myself, I say, "Ew. Be better, Shelly."

[Tulip's voice] I'm here, too.

[Jade] And while the crowd is loving us,

those shady Lounge Ladies will be in their own personal nightmare.

[Tulip] Because we let in the dummies.

[? foreboding music playing]

[screaming]

[Posey] Stop, stop, stop!

What are we doing?

Yeah, we can't do that.

We're not terrible people.

Who would do that?

Not even me. That was some dark, messed-up business.

Okay, so we all agree. Plan's off.

I don't know. I think it could have worked.

I would have fallen for that coupon.

Take a seat, ladies.

We need to talk.

[mumbling]

The troll's got to be here somewhere.

You're typing a lot

for a guy who's supposed to be looking for a guy typing a lot.

Yeah, a guy who builds his reputation as a "fixer"

is the perfect cover for someone who's actually a troll.

I was just texting you a selfie of us eating soup.

He's clean.

Man, we're adorable!

Yeah, will you send me that?

Guys, can I be honest?

I don't think we're gonna find this troll.

I've talked to every kid in school.

I've tapped all my usual informants, including the snitches.

I got nothing!

But what about The Vince guarantee?

You don't think I know about The Vince guarantee?

I haven't slept in nights!

I let those girls down.

The Vince has failed.

So from now on, just call me...

V...

Vince.

You know, we could just report the troll's account and have it taken down.

- [phone chimes] - Approved.

The Vince is back, baby!

Whoo!

It was kind of my idea.

He needs this, man. Just let him have it.

We're so sorry. We weren't really gonna do it.

We let the Internet hate and online troll mess with our heads.

We responded in so many ways, and none of it worked.

- I just don't know what to do anymore. - That's the secret.

Stop doing!

[scoffs] I don't...

Clearly, you don't know me. [chuckles]

With haters, you can't react. That's how they win.

Haters gonna hate.

Easy for you to say. Do you know what it feels like to have someone comment

"you suck" in the middle of the night?

Sweetie. I've had someone scream "you suck" in the middle of a song,

but in more colorful language that I cannot repeat in a high school setting.

You have haters. We've had hecklers.

They're all the same.

But we never responded to the negativity.

Except for that one time Ethel had to rough up a guy in the front row.

[chuckles]

That's okay. I eventually married him.

Look, as much as it pains me to say it,

you ding-dongs remind us of us.

You're really good at what you do,

and you love it just like we do.

Don't let anyone take away your joy.

Thank you.

That's really good advice.

From here on out, we ignore the trolls.

No matter how much shade they throw at us.

Oh, my gauze!

I just realized we didn't take our own advice.

We retaliated against them for taking our gig.

[gasps] We're monsters.

Ladies. You can have your gig back.

Girl, what?

Come on, Georgie.

They're... They're just trying to buy better instruments for the kids.

I mean, look at this tuba!

What tuba?

Thank you all for being here tonight.

Your generous contributions will make sure

that the students of Edison County High

will have music in their lives for years to come.

And now, please welcome to the stage...

You guys sure this ain't gonna change again? Because I'm gonna say it.

Electric Bloom!

[girl] Boo!

Hey! That's not cool.

It's all good, Mr. B.

It doesn't bother us, because we're doing what we love.

Really? Bothers me.

Hey, boo again and see what happens.

Okay, tonight we're honored to share the stage

with three people who also love what they do.

So give it up for...

the Lounge Ladies!

[cheering]

[crowd clapping]

Hit it, boys!

Oh wait, that's me. I'm boys.

[? smooth jazz playing]

? There's still some dreams I've got to chase ?

? I'll take my chances while I'm getting all the breaks ?

? It's apple pie in the sky, there's no ceiling ?

Just like Mama used to make.

? So don't look down ?

? You know a frown is not appealing ?

That's right!

? Live today ?

? And tomorrow ?

? With twice the joy and only half the sorrow ?

Thanks, Eddie, for having us back.

You never should have gotten rid of us in the first place!

? Time's flying by Pick up the pace ?

Here we go!

? There's still some dreams I'm gonna chase ?

? Ba-pa da-pa, yeah ?

[crowd clapping]

[slurping]

So that's how we learned about haters. They're all the same.

They're faceless, nameless cowards who are jealous that you have the guts

to put yourself out there and they don't.

And by the way, we never found out who The Edi$on Troll was.

But who cares?

We don't need to know who they are because we know who we are.

? And that's the end of that! ?

? Ba-pa da-pa, yeah ?

[laughs]
