Episode 435 - Book Club
Taped 5/7/17
Plot:
Sonic and Amy take the kids shopping at MobiMart where Amy tells Flash he has to like a new sriracha cereal if she's going to buy it for him. Sonic picks up a magazine and becomes hooked on a promotion where he can win a cruise by joining a book club. Amy tells him the money he's making from his job at Sega can already cover the expense of a cruise but Sonic's already focused on the prospect of winning without having the need to pay for one. At the checkout stand, Sonic purchases his first book and chance to win while Amy catches Lightning in the act of sneaking in video games. The next day, Knuckles digs through the basement and catches Sonic filling out an order form. When Knuckles sees the promotion, he tells Sonic that it's a scam but Sonic insists that he's read the fine print and that the cruise is as good as his. Weeks later, a delivery truck arrives to ship Sonic's entire order from the book club. Sonic reveals that he bought the entire list of 250 orders, most of which are individual packages containing thousands of books total. Since Sonic can't afford this, he has his truck repossessed by Lizard Lick Towing and his house is soon taken away as well. Another banker tells Sonic that he's lost his job and therefore his family has to be displaced as well. As Sonic loses more and more of his possessions, Cream and Knuckles suggest getting Chaotix involved. Cream calls Vector who investigates the book club's website. It turns out Eggman is behind the scam, having gotten involved in foreign bank accounts to take advantage of Sonic's gullibility. He recommends that Cream and Knuckles talk to Junkaholic about setting up a fake promotion aimed at Eggman. Junkaholic comes up with a plan involving Eggman phony Publisher's Clearing House drawing. The catch is Sonic, Knuckles and Cream have to put on different animal disguises since Eggman will easily recognize them. After donning their outfits, they move onto Eggman's lair, where they trick him into giving out his account information and reroute his funds back to Sonic. With everything back to normal, Amy calls Sonic out for falling for an obvious scam. Sonic does state that he learned not to fall for something too good to be true ever again. Flash hates the sriracha cereal he bought so Sonic, not wanting to let it go to waste, offers to eat it instead. He reconsiders when Amy laces the cheeseburger bacon mac and cheese she cooked for him with sriracha.
