What up squirmy wormies? It's your worm DJ Swim A Lot. The world's greatest dj, who also happens to be a worm. And guess what? Spring break is here. And as usual, I have an incredible mixtape of tunes to celebrate the end of winter. And what a winter it was. Jeez, that thing went on forever. Am I right? Winter is really hard on worms, let me tell ya. The soil is frozen. Have you ever tried burrowing through frozen dirt? It's very painful. First of all, there are no beach DJ sets in the winter. I just have to stay inside, obsessing over playlists on my laptop, dreaming of spring nights on the island of Ibiza, smashing that space bar for thousands and thousands of people. Well, this year, winter was so long that I really got into planning my first DJ set of spring. In fact, I'm planning to throw a huge, incredible party right now. You heard right. The first party of spring is going to be the best party. Not only are the tunes I spin from my laptop going to be incredibly fresh and funky, I'm also throwing this party in the single greatest location anyone has ever thrown a party. That's right. I'm talking talking about a huge, disgusting compost pile. That's right, you heard me correctly. The greatest spring break party ever is going to be in a giant pile of old rotting fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, dried leaves, garden trimmings, and of course, D. Sounds epic, right? And don't worry because it's a really big compost pile. So it's even big enough for thousands of humans to dance and rave while I dj. But enough about my plans. Now I actually have to put everything into action. Time to call my Assistant to make sure everything's going according to plan.
A
Hello, this is Lee.
B
Oh, hello assistant. This is your boss, DJ Squirmalot.
A
Hey, DJ Squirmalot. Wait, did you just call me your assistant?
B
Okay, assistant, we have a lot of work to do, so listen up.
A
Alright, what's going on?
B
As you know, I'm throwing a huge party for spring break.
A
You are?
B
Yes, didn't you read the memo?
A
The memo?
B
It's going to be the biggest spring break party of all time and I need your help cause you are my assistant.
A
Why do you keep calling me your assistant?
B
Dictation please. Assistant.
A
Oh, sure. Let me just get something to write with. Okay, I'm ready.
B
Things for my assistant to buy for the big party.
A
For the big party. Okay, go ahead.
B
Old Apple Korse.
A
Old apple course.
B
Disgusting rotten vegetables covered in dirt and coffee grounds.
A
Disgusting. Rotten. Hold up. What? You want me to get gross rotten food for a party?
B
Yes, assistant. Duh. What else do you think is in a compost pile?
A
A compost pile?
B
Yes, Lee, compost.
C
Why?
B
Because, Lee, composting is good for the environment. It reduces waste and it's the number one place everyone wants to party and snack.
A
You mean where worms want to party and snack?
B
I mean everyone, Lee. Humans especially will love dancing to my laptop. DJ set. And snacking on top of a huge pile of delicious compost full of old foods, craps, leaves and stuff.
A
DJ Squirmalot, I have some bad news for you.
B
What is it this time, assistant?
A
You know what? I better come over there. I'll be right over.
B
Okay listeners, while I wait for Lee to come over and share whatever he thinks is bad news, why don't we get started with today's mixtape. Here's our first track from 9 Year Old Iris in Massachusetts is Bob's Impossible Pants.
C
Once there was an ancient Egyptian guy named Bob. Hey Bob. Bob really wanted a new pair of pants. He went to the pants store, which is weird because ancient Egyptians don't wear pants. Bob was looking round the store when he saw the perfect pants. Shiny disco pants with purple sequins. He didn't stop to read the tag, which it turns out was really bad. The shop owner gave advice. Bob should be heated.
D
He said, I wouldn't buy those pants if I were you.
C
They're impossible pants. He doesn't have a clue what those pants will do. Woo. Bobs Impossible Pants Pants Box Bob's Impossible Pants Bob's Impossible Pants Pants Bob's Impossible Pants Bob, he didn't listen to the warning. Oh, Bob, he loved the way he looked and stepped outside feeling sharp. All the people after Bob's new disco pants. Poor Bob, he felt super sad and ran back home. He tried to take those pants off, but you know, they would not budge. Then suddenly a magic wizard appeared. She said, I'm the wizard, the wizard of pants. And you've been cursed with impossible pants. It was all sounding worse than you feared. She said, you're gonna live forever. But please don't panic. When you finally get those pants off is when you're gonna vanish. Now I must disappear into a puff of magical powder. Spots Impossible pants. Pants. Spots Impossible pants. Spots Impossible pants. Impossible Spots Impossible pants. Bob spent many decades trying to remove these pants and witnessed a lot of history. Witness. We met the Queen of England and Martin Luther King Jr. And Amelia Earhart, all in the 20th century. Bob found an impossible pants expert. She used her magic powers to free him from the spell. But like the wizard said he would, Bob vanished then and there. The minute that the pants were taken off. A customer at the expert store found a diary Bob kept with details of historical events. So historical Bob wrote in it throughout his days. A scientist was so amazed they put it in a mutation.
B
Cause that made sense.
C
Total sense. Everybody in the world has heard about. Now you know about him too. So I guess I did my job. And as for the pants, they're locked in a high security safe. Bobs. Impossible Pants.
B
Pants.
C
Bobs. Impossible Pants. Bobs. Yes. Bobs Impossible Pants. Impossible. So impossible spots, Impossible pets. Spots Impossible pits.
D
Pins.
C
Spots Impossible Pins. Spots Impossible Pins. Impossible Spots. Impossible Spassable spots Impossible pants.
B
It's the story Pirate spring break mixtape. And I'm your host, D.J. squirm a lot.
C
I'm Squirm Squirmin.
B
And that was Bob's Impossible Pants. Now, where is Lee? He said he was coming over to tell me some bad news. Finally. Hello, Lee.
A
Hey, DJ Squirmalot. How are you?
B
I'm fine, Lee. Now, what was it that you wanted to tell me?
A
Okay, you should probably sit down for this.
B
Worms don't sit down, Lee.
A
Oh, well, could you sort of like, curl up your bottom half? Seriously, I just don't want you to collapse in shock when I tell you what I have to tell you.
B
There is no way anything you could tell me would shock me that much, Lee.
A
All right, if you say so. So remember how you're going to throw the biggest, most amazing spring break party of all time?
B
Of course I do.
A
And that you're planning to have that party in the middle of a giant compost pile. You know, full of old fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, leaves, that sort of stuff.
B
Yep, everyone's favorite place to party and have a snack.
A
Okay, so you're hoping that humans will also want to come to this party? Not just worms, of course.
B
I'm assuming that thousands and thousands of humans will be there. They'll come from all over to potty and snack on compost.
A
Okay, so how do I tell you this? You know how different people and animals and things like to eat different things?
D
Sure.
A
Well, the thing is, humans are famous for not wanting to be in or to eat compost. That's more of a worm thing.
B
I'm sorry, what?
A
Humans like to compost because it's good for the earth, but they don't like to be in compost. We actually. We think it's kind of gross.
B
Very funny, Lee. Great gag. You really pulled one over on the old squirm this time.
A
I'm not kidding, DJ Squirmalot. Welp, he fainted. Okay, while I revive him, why don't you listeners check out this next track? And actually, it's good that I'm introducing this one. This is a track from another podcast, the Story Pirates Made. It's called Historical Records and it's about history. So this song is about an incredible real fashion designer from history named Willi Smith who taught the world that fashionable clothes did not have to be super fancy and that regular people like you and me deserve beautiful, well designed clothes. I love the song, so please enjoy Willie Smith. When people hear the name Willie Smith, I want them to think that this is a person who cares enough about them that he's taking the time to design and create and think for them.
D
I collect love America.
E
I could tell you a tale of how I was supposed to fail but then I ended up sailing with all the boats and whales I before I was selling clothes I had hope for sale and even at a discount, it was so for real. Grew up in Ill Adelf Had a little help Nope, a lot of help. My mother and my father told me to go for self Gotta be yourself, do your best, get it goin' and you can get coins. But true freedom is the wealth really that's my name came in the game. We'll get into all of that but for now I'm saying I'm conveying my joy struggles, my joy not different from so many other black boys. And I knew there was a world that was was almost out of reach. But I had to learn lessons that nobody could teach. Tablets full of design and fabric colors. Yo, fashion is one thing, but style is another. My choice. Freedom to love and magic.
C
You are, you are, you are brand
E
new, but it's still classic. Yes, I made clothes. Yes, I love to sew. I possessed a passion that I ain't even know. I knew I had to grow. And you know I love Philly, but New York City? Yeah, I knew I had to go. My best decision? Hemlines crafted with so much precision, you could see the vision. A few people mentioned that it wasn't up to snuff, but eventually everybody was loving my stuff. My mind went to another place to create something. Live with colors more vibrant. My own little island where I could spend time on the shore. Getting close to the source. And I'm smiling now. Got a new clothing line. Yeah, it's finally out. Will it where? Get it here, get it there. Everywhere, I swear. I think back to the famous line. Clothes don't make the man unless you wearing mine. My joy, The scene is overdone. It's supposed to be fun, But now they wanted safe. Let's go on. Give them some. I walked the line from the Harlem renaissance to the b boys. Original for the culture. No decoys, Streets bustling, loud crowds, and sweet noise. These are the things I mean when I speak. Joy and 25 nail off designs I chose so you could chill or if you want to, profiling pose. And I don't make clothes for the queen. I make them for the people on the street who wave at a limousine.
A
I did it for us.
E
Those kids on the front stoop and beautiful ladies who needed cute new suits. You don't have to be safe to have taste. Make it oversized plus neon green and add lace. Whatever. I live my life with no regrets. Being true to myself meant more than my success. I never claimed to be the greatest of the best. I just wanted you to be well dressed. It's my pleasure, my joy. Stretch your arms out as far as you can. Clap your hands right there where you stand.
C
I'm an alien on another planet and I own a store. But I'm not a success by any stretch.
B
Oh, that's for sure.
C
All the other aliens, they have been discovering new amazing foods to taste. But I've yet to find any kind of dish that I can sell to my customer base. I've tried mixing together ingredients, anything I see, all in the hopes of stumbling upon a new recipe. I'm an alien on another planet and I own a store. Putting all types of foods together, looking for something more. I've mixed Together. Crackers and ice creams and grapes and hummus. Couldn't stand them. They were bad. I tried tuna fish and orange juice cereal and broccoli, too. It made my tummy sad. Now I only have two foods left. Will they work? Don't know. I guess I'll throw them together now. Here I go. O I'll mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and red. I'll mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread. I'll mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread. I'll mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas. Here goes nothing.
B
Hey, it's not bad.
C
No, it's better than not bad.
B
It's good.
C
Wow.
B
Banana and bread.
C
Hmm. What should I call the dish?
B
Ooh, I know.
C
Cheesecake. No, wait. Banana bread.
B
I did it.
C
And all it took was a dash of perseverance, a pinch of faith in myself, and also the ingredients. I mix bananas, banana, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread. I mix bananas and bread and now I am banana and bread. I'm an alien on another planet and I own a store.
D
Yeah, I can see the sign. It says banana bread store.
C
It's where I sell my banana bread. Would you like to try some? Sure.
D
Hey, this is not that bad.
A
Scratch that.
D
It's the best thing that I've ever had. We want something.
C
What? A meal. A real deal.
D
Is it broccoli and cereal?
B
Close.
C
I mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread. I mix bananas and bread and now I am banana bread.
B
Everyone got it?
C
Yeah. You mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread.
D
You mix bananas and bread and then
C
you have banana bread. You mix my d. On another planet. I own a store on a store. I mix bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas and bread. I mix bananas and bread and now we have banana bread. Foreign.
A
Welcome back to the story Pirates spring break mixtape. I'm not your host, Lee. The actual host, DJ Squirmalot, fainted when he found out that humans don't want to party in compost. But anyway, that last song was the Alien that Discovered Banana Bread, written by Eli, a 6 year old from Massachusetts. And the song before that was Willie Smith from our sister podcast Historical Records. You can find that show wherever you get your podcasts, by the way. Okay, enough of me hosting. Let's wake up. DJ Squirmalot. Dj, DJ Squirmalot, wake up.
B
Huh? What? Where am I? What happened?
A
Everything's fine. You're okay. DJ Squirmalot.
B
I dreamed that you said humans don't like to party and compost.
A
Here, drink this water.
B
Thank you.
A
I did say that.
C
What?
B
You have got to be kidding me. Lee, compost makes the most nutrient rich dirt you could ever dream of. It's absolutely delicious.
C
What are you talking about?
A
Humans don't eat dirt. DJ Squirmalot. I'm sorry.
B
I can't believe this. My whole party theme was compost. What am I supposed to do now?
A
Well, I might have a new idea.
B
Oh, great.
A
Just hear me out. What if instead of doing a big party for humans, you do it for other worms?
B
Other worms?
A
Yes, you're brethren. Worms deserve high quality laptop DJ sets just as much as humans do.
B
Now that you mention it, it does appear I have been holding out on my fellow worms.
A
And they would absolutely love to party in a compost pile. And they'd love to snack on the compost too.
B
Turning all the compost into delicious, nutrient rich dirt. Lee, you're a genius.
A
I am?
B
No, but it's a great idea. Let's do it.
C
Yeah.
B
And while I send out the invites to all the worms I know, let's hear another track from our mixtape. From Landon, an 8 year old in California. Here's the tree with a love for a mountain.
D
Hey, all you forest flora and fauna. Thanks for coming out to the Grove tonight. Here's a song to get your branches swinging. I am a tree with the love for a mountain. A lonely tree. My roots, they can't walk anywhere. Cause I'm a tree. Through my binoculars I see you mounting right now. I am I. I know that someday we can be a we. We can be a we. I keep on growing Hoping I might feel a little less alone. I pluck all my pine cones, Plant them round my roots. Will it bring me close to you? Look now there's pine trees sprouting. Yet I'm still far from you. My mountain. Why, oh why am I still I. When someday we can be. Chop, chop, chop. Oh, no. A man just cut down one of my pine trees. Whoa. No, a man just cut down a bunch of my branches. He's taking them home to give to his grandkids. What am I to do? Well, a few falling branches won't stop leaves from sprouting. I ain't slowing down. I'm growing up. I'm reaching that mountain. I yank up my roots and I breathe fresh air. Then I leap into the forest on a wing and a pear. I am a tree with the love for a mountain. And now I'm free from the dirt and I'm swinging from branch to branch of other trees. They're all still growing just like me. My mountain. Swinging high up to your summit. I Plant my roots so I won't plummet I am my mountain we are.
E
Who we are we.
D
Mountain I really got a love for you. Good night.
C
What up?
D
Hello world.
C
Welcome to the number one spring break potty of the fam.
B
Is everyone enjoying their compost? And what about you, Lee?
D
Uh, yeah, I'm partying in compost. And I love it.
B

Welcome back to the story Pirate Spring Break Mixtape. Here's a song by Violet, a nine year old in Pennsylvania called the Dancing Cupcake.
C
One day Violet decided to bake cupcakes for no reason at all. She finished decorating and set them on the counter to cool and made sure they wouldn't fall. But suddenly a cupcake jumped off of the plate and said yo, my name is Katie I wanna dance in your house Dance in your house, yeah this is not a question I'm gonna dance in your house Dance in your house, yeah I'm a dancing cupcake so I gotta dance in your house Dance in your house, yeah this is not a question I'm on a dance in your house Dance in your house, yeah and then Katie the cupcake grabbed Violet's mom's phone and played her favorite tune. It played over the speaker in her home at maximum volume. She began to dance through the kitchen.

And Violet's brother said unalive and smooth. Katie said she was hoping to find someone to groove with but then she saw a cat. So she jumped on the the cat but the cat bucked her off of her cat back.

Theme: Kid-Inspired Sketch Comedy & Songs with a Spring Break Compost Party Twist
This bonus episode of the Story Pirates Podcast celebrates spring break with DJ Squirm-a-Lot’s signature mixtape: a fun, laugh-filled sequence of original stories and songs all based on ideas from kids. The wiggly host has plans for the “biggest spring break party ever”—hosted on a compost pile—crafting a quirky narrative thread in between tracks. Along the way, DJ Squirm-a-Lot’s party plans hit a snag when he discovers not everyone (humans!) wants to dance in moldy dirt, but it all ends in a joyful, worm-friendly celebration.
