Ruff's Doghouse. Before the Contestants Come in. Glen and Blossom are Seen playing FIFA 23, with Glen as Manchester City and Blossom as Real Madrid.

Ruff: (Commentating) The Score is Tied Between Glen as we head to the all-deciding Penalty Shootout. Glen is controlling Manchester City. Blossom is handling Zidane's Real Madrid Side. It's the Champions League Final. (ringtone) Hold on, guys. Pause in play.

Glen: (pauses) What is it, Uncle Ruff?

Ruff: It seems to be one of those New-fangled Video Calls. Let's see who it is. (answers) Hello? This is Ruff Ruffman here.

Weston: Hey Ruff! It's Weston McKennie of the US Men's National Team of Soccer!

Ruff: This is Certainly a Surprise! A Real-life footballer calling me.

Weston: Ruff, you do understand we call it soccer here.

Ruff: What's the difference? They're both balls, right?

Weston: Yes, they do. I think I know someone known as "The Rock" Johnson who runs this spring league of American Football. Soccer's Rules are Different from those on the gridiron, and that's why I challenge your contestants, male and female, doesn't matter, to learn these rules and play with me and my friends in a bit of a Futsal-Type of Match.

Ruff: Works for me! You know how much I love those kids! Bye, Weston!

Weston: Take care, my man!  

(End Call)

Ruff: Blossom this is So exciting! We tackle a new challenge every time, and that's no joke either! A soccer vs football challenge and all it costs is you concluding your game with Glen. So sorry about that.

She shrugs.

Ruff: You can now? Oh right. But remember, make it quick! The contestants are almost here.

Glen: We will.

Ruff: Hmm. Always bet on my nephew, because he's the other computer geek here. No offense, Chet.

Chet gives him a Stare as we fade to black.

(Slow Music)

Ruff: (singing) 🎵 Life was missing its Mystique, my squeaky toys had lost their squeak! 🎵

(spoken) But then out of the blue... I saw the phone, and then BAM! My destiny was calling me!

(Music becomes more upbeat)

(Singing) 🎵 Pitched my vision for a Show, and they loved it! Thought I was a Pro! They got my contract back to find: 🎵 (spoken) to their alarm; a dog had signed!

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 Fetch! 🎵

Ruff: Oh, I love that name!

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 With Ruff Ruffman! 🎵

Ruff: 🎵 I didn't wait to renovate, found six contestants; all were great! Now I'm on the road to fame, I've got a game show, and its name is... 🎵

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 Fetch! 🎵

(Ruff and Blossom dance while Chet flies in his airplane)

Ruff: It's really Catchy!

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 With Ruff Ruffman! 🎵

Ruff: It rolls off the Tongue!

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 Ruff Ruffman! 🎵

(Chet parachutes out of his Airplane)

Backup Singers: (sing) 🎵 Ruff Ruffman! 🎵

Ruff: Wait... doesn't that mistake warrant A Yellow? Oh, never mind.
