Plot synopsis[edit]
In Club Mario, Tommy Treehugger and Co-MC are flying model DC-10's using their hands and make them crash onto the ground. The former then promptly introduces themselves to the viewer, explaining that they started off with magic carpets, but eventually became interested in crashing model airplanes. He then switches the channel to Spaced Out Theater, which stars Princess Centauri.
Princess Centauri, after accidentally introducing herself as Princess Diana, explains that she received a "maisy" in her mail this week, which left her slightly confused, before showing Bhodi Li, who she accidentally refers to as Betty Lee.
The show begins with Tivia, one of Bhodi's partners, being caught by the vine of a rose and sprayed with a white liquid coming from it, knocking her to the ground. A man with pointed ears and a beard, a member of the Warriors of R, the villainous group for the show, then declares that his only concern is the rose's life of suckle, with a rose swallowing a white bunny. Tivia calls out to Bhodi, warning that the roses are hungry. As a rose begins to decide on Paars, Bhodi calls out to and runs up to him, but is sprayed by another rose's white liquid, knocking him down. Another man with bionic components and black eyepaint, also a Warrior of R, then points a gun at Bhodi. Paars, who has been caught by one of the rose's vines, calls out to Bhodi and Tivia, explaining that the rose is going to eat him. The main villain then says that Bhodi and his partners will die together, before the scene switches back to Princess Centauri, who, holding a phone to her ear, urges viewers to call the FPD (Flower Police Department), explaining that they have a pack of irritated flowers on the rampage. She then suggests that, in the meantime, they should all stay indoors and hide the fertilizer.
The scene cuts back to show Tommy and Co-MC, the former saying that he loves Princess Centauri very much, with the latter agreeing. Co-MC continues on by explaining that, though Bhodi Li always ends up getting into trouble, he has his "Reagans," before asking the viewer who they would call, which Tommy responds by saying, "Bhodi Li!" Tommy mentions that he hopes that Bhodi will escape from the Warriors of R, which Co-MC mentions that they know he will, before "satellite surfing" to the Dude Brothers, who are on a beach in San Diego.
The brown-haired Dude Brother mentions to the viewer that they have another beach for them, before he and his blond-haired Dude Brother Cruise briefly look at the beach to ensure that it is still there. After Cruise informs the viewer of the beach's presence, the brown-haired mentions that it was very "cool," followed by the channel switching to a show sponsored by American Helicopter Society, which discusses how tomorrow's helicopters can cut travel times significantly.
Later, Tommy mentions that, when crashing his model airplane, he completely broke the engine off of it, and says that his airplane is fine mess. Co-MC continues by telling the viewer that they have a film review of A Fine Mess for them today, starring Howie Mandel and Ted Danson, before showing clips from the mentioned film, commenting on the film while showing the clips.
After showing the clips, Tommy mentions that the film was alright, with Co-MC mentioning that the film was very good. Tommy then asks Co-MC how they will rate the film, to which Co-MC mentions that it will be rated by airplanes, ranging from a paper airplane to a stealth bomber. Tommy rates the film as an L-1011 due it being extensive, while Co-MC rates it as a Boeing 747 due to its portrayal of Howie Mandel as a dog. They then have a paper airplane tossing contest, with the winner being the one who hits a camera offscreen. Tommy throws his paper airplane, though it misses the camera and hits the ground. Co-MC then throws his paper airplane and manages to hit the cameraman, causing the camera to slightly shake. He and Tommy then say goodbye to the viewer, telling them to "stay rea," with Tommy mentioning that they hope to see them tomorrow, "where the airways are [their] way."

Notes[edit]
- The clips for the Spaced Out Theater segment for this segment are taken from the Photon episode "Deadly Thorns."
- After Co-MC explains that, while Bhodi Li frequently ends up getting into trouble, he has some luck on his side, he asks, "And who are you gonna call?", with Tommy finishing by saying, "Bhodi Li!", parodying a line from the theme song of the Ghostbusters film.
