Transcript

[Peter]

Hey, Story Pirates podcast listeners. Peter, here today we have a brand new story for you that is as fun as it is confusing. And it features dogs, lots of dogs. And literally hundreds of barks. So many barks that you may ask yourself, could they put in any more barks? And the answer will always be yes. All that coming up after a few words for the grown ups.

[Paloma]

I love storytelling. I'm very different from everybody. Confusion is the step before curiosity. Okay, that's a really funny idea. We have to send that in and then, like, they can make a whole universe. I believe all the things in my story, human beings are just as to create the Story pirates.

[Peter]

Welcome back to the Story Pirates podcast. One of the most fun things about writing a story can be coming up with your own world. You get to make the rules about every single thing in that world. Who lives there, what they do all day, what the weather is like, the terrain, the seasons, and more. Sometimes people call this world building. And today's news story has a ton of it. All about a brand new world called Doglandia. Here's the author to introduce it.

[Paloma]

Hi, my Name's Floma. I'm 9 years old and I'm from Illinois. Olo ye moi preacha Doglandia. That means this is my story. Doglandia in Serbian.

[Sarah]

Remember, Han, we cannot get distracted this time. We are at the mall to pick up school supplies and then maybe pick up a soft pretzel as a treat.

[Hannah]

Or maybe a soft pretzel first and then school supplies.

[Sarah]

No jokes. This is serious. Once people hear about how cheap the crayons are at the mall, we'll never find parking again. We have to get in, get out.

[Hannah]

Got it. Oh, cinnamon sugar concentrate.

[Sarah]

Now, where is that crayon store? Crate store, carton store, cartoon store, crawfish store.

[Jasper]

What's this?

[Sarah]

Doglandia.

[King Mutt]

That's right. And whoa, baby, do I have an offer for you. Come on on down to Doglandia Harp the coolest place in the galaxy we got deals, deals, deals and dogs, dogs, dogs.

[Peter]

Harf, harf Harp.

[King Mutt]

So come on down to Doglandia Harp where the dogs are out of this world.

[Sarah]

Uh, sorry, we're not interested.

[Hannah]

We're actually looking for crayons. Have you seen any crayons?

[King Mutt]

Who needs'em? We've got dogs up high We've got dogs down low so come down to Doglandia the coolest place in the galaxy We've got all the dogs you can name Arf, arf. And some that you can but don't just take My word for it. Trust our billions of satisfied customers.

[Sarah]

Billions.

[Hannah]

Are you an animal shelter or like a dog breeder?

[King Mutt]

No, and quit asking. We're Doglandia. We're our own thing. We're the coolest place in the galaxy.

[Sarah]

I get that. I just don't really understand what this.

[Hannah]

Is or who you are.

[King Mutt]

Me? I'm King Mutt. And just because I know this is the question on your lips and mine, yes, Doglandia does accept cash card traveler's checks and PayPal.

[Sarah]

I didn't have that question. Let's go, hun. We have crayons to buy.

[Hannah]

Now hold on a minute. Let's hear this dog dressed in a blazer.

[King Mutt]

Out.

[Sarah]

But the longer we listen to this, the further away the crayons get.

[Hannah]

I think he's getting to the end of his pitch anyway.

[King Mutt]

Not even close, pal. You got somewhere to be?

[Sarah]

We do, actually. We've got crayons to buy. Thank you and goodbye.

[King Mutt]

Wait. There's so much more to say about Doglandia.

[Sarah]

Now that that's over, we can start to look for the crayons.

[Hannah]

Oh, look, the pretzel store. It's on our way. We may as well stop.

[Sarah]

Fine, but let's get in and get out.

[Hannah]

Yes. You won't regret this.

[Sarah]

Uh, yes, hello. Could we get two soft pretzels, please?

[King Mutt]

Did someone say pretzels? Because I heard dogs. And if you want dogs, you gotta come down to Doglandia.

[Sarah]

You work here too?

[King Mutt]

I work everywhere, buddy. I'm King Mutt. And at Doglandia, we've got cool dogs, we've got shoe dogs, we have two do and many, many more.

[Sarah]

Is that dog riding a skateboard?

[Hannah]

Are those dogs playing basketball?

[King Mutt]

No. That they are, my friend. And if you want to come on down to Doglandia, the prices are cheap, cheap, cheap. And the dogs are cool, cool, cool. If you act right now, now, now I will throw in a free pair of dog sunglasses guaranteed to turn any poodle into a real cool doodle. So take a load off, rest those weary paws and come on down to the coolest place in the galaxy.

[Sarah]

Rest those weary paws. Is this business for dogs or for dog owners?

[King Mutt]

That's for you to decide. I bear no legal responsibility.

[Hannah]

What is Doglandia's business model?

[King Mutt]

Our business model is that we've got 10 dogs. We've got 20 dogs, we've got 30 dogs. We've got 40 dogs. We've got 50 dogs. We have dogs all over the world.

[Sarah]

That's too many dogs.

[King Mutt]

Not a Doglandia. We've got more dogs than you could possibly know what to do with. And because it's Labor Day weekend, if you come down to Doglandia right this second, you can go home with 10 dogs for free.

[Hannah]

We live in a two bedroom apartment.

[King Mutt]

I live in a big palace because I'm King Mutt.

[Sarah]

Where are you getting these dogs?

[King Mutt]

We've got Spanish dogs, we've got English dogs, we have Indian dogs, we have Serbian dogs, we have French dogs, we have polyglot dogs.

[Jasper]

Meow.

[Hannah]

What does polyglot mean?

[King Mutt]

A polyglot dog is a dog that can speak many languages. French, Spanish, Mandarin, Dalmatian, etc.

[Sarah]

Why would I even want that?

[King Mutt]

Why wouldn't you? If you're heading out on a European vacation, you gotta get your dog to translate for you.

[Hannah]

How do we find Doglandia?

[Sarah]

Stop encouraging him.

[King Mutt]

Doglandia is where your dogs can rest. It's where your dogs can eat. They can even have a house of their own. There is even a palace where the king lives. Guess who the king is. Yeah, you're right. It's me. Bark.

[Hannah]

Oh. So Doglandia is a place for dogs to rest and relax, like a dog spa.

[King Mutt]

Don't reduce Doglandia to just one thing, pal. King Mutt does not appreciate that.

[Sarah]

That's it. I've had enough. Look, mister, I am sure that Doglandia is filled with wonderful things and services that work either for us or for dogs. You still haven't told a switch and all the deals, deals, deals, deals sound great, I guess. But we don't need anything. Not from you, not ever. Now, can you tell us how to get to the crayon store or not? Because if you can't, we're outta here.

[King Mutt]

Oh, it's over there.

[Sarah]

Heck you. Come on, Sarah. We're going to the crayon store.

[Hannah]

I just have one more quick question about the skateboarding dogs.

[Sarah]

No, you don't.

[Peter]

Come on.

[King Mutt]

But I have more to say about dogs.

[Hannah]

Oh, look, here's the crayon store.

[Sarah]

Finally, we've made it. Excuse me, crayon store employee whose back it's turned to me. What sort of crayons do you have?

[King Mutt]

Did someone say dog you again? What is happening here at Doglandia? We've got dogs, dogs, dogs we're the coolest place in the galaxy We've got spy dogs. We've got high dogs. We've got my dog and yours.

[Sarah]

Jasper Sparky.

[Hannah]

How did you get our dogs?

[King Mutt]

I am King Mutt.

[Peter]

What?

[King Mutt]

So just come on down to Doglandia. The Coolest place in the galaxy.

[Sarah]

No, that's. I promise you this, King Mutt, I will never go to Doglandia.

[King Mutt]

If you come on down to Doglandia in the next two minutes, I'll toss in these promotional crayons.

[Hannah]

Crayons? Honey, take the deal.

[Sarah]

No way.

[King Mutt]

Time's a ticking. This offer won't last forever.

[Hannah]

Honey, we came here to get crayons. This Dogman King person holding a 50 page contract is giving us that chance.

[King Mutt]

Oh, you don't need to bother reading the terms and conditions.

[Peter]

Oh.

[Hannah]

So I think you need to get over it and get us some crayons.

[Sarah]

Fine, King Mutt, you've got yourself a deal.

[King Mutt]

Let's shake on it. Give me your paw. And sign here and there. And just initial there and there.

[Peter]

You two.

[King Mutt]

Okay, both of you. And in the corner here, just draw a little picture of a dog.

[Sarah]

Okay. There. So do we get a dog now?

[Hannah]

Or are you gonna take care of our dogs?

[Sarah]

Or are we dogs now?

[Hannah]

And where are the crayons?

[King Mutt]

Uh. Oh. Um.

[Sarah]

Whoa.

[King Mutt]

Look at that dog.

[Sarah]

Where?

[Peter]

Skadoo.

[Sarah]

Hey, there was no dog over. Hey, where'd he go?

[Hannah]

He's gone, King Mutt. Oh, can we get a pretzel?

[Sarah]

No.

[King Mutt]

The end.

[Peter]

And now Lise speaks with the author.

[Lise]

Hi, Paloma.

[Paloma]

Hello.

[Lise]

How are you?

[Paloma]

Good.

[Lise]

Did you do anything interesting today?

[Paloma]

I made like a cardboard doghouse because I have a new stuffed animal named Bubbles.

[Lise]

Okay, so Doglandia is not something that just exists in your story. You're actually living in Doglandia.

[Paloma]

Literally. In my school, we have different types of Landias. Like it's a whole thing.

[Lise]

Can you say more about that?

[Paloma]

My Landia was the first ever Landia. And then my friend Maisie said that she wanted to have another Landia and she asked her permission if she could make another Landia. And I said yes. And then Landias just became a whole thing.

[Lise]

So you started the Landia trend?

[Paloma]

Yeah. Like there was Gummy Bear Landia, Hot Dog Landia, Wolf Landia, Red Panda Landia, everything you can imagine Landia.

[Lise]

So in your story about Doglandia, it kind of sounds like a commercial for Doglandia. Is that how you are thinking about it?

[Paloma]

Yeah, something like that.

[Lise]

What inspired you to write your story in that way?

[Paloma]

For me, I'm like, I want the listeners from Story Pirates to have Landias and then they can play with other kids and then like, they can make a whole universe.

[Lise]

Because there is a whole universe in our imaginations. There's as many Landias and universes as we want.

[Paloma]

Yeah.

[Lise]

For the first part of the story, we don't know who's saying all these things about Doglandia. And then at the end of your story, it's revealed that it's the king.

[Paloma]

Of Doglandia, and I am the king of Doglandia.

[Lise]

So this is you, Paloma, speaking in the story.

[Paloma]

Yeah. Also known as King Doggo.

[Lise]

How does Doglandia run? Is there any aspects of democracy in the way that this land works?

[Paloma]

In Doglandia, there's fairness. If there are, like, three cookies and, like, one dog, like, one dog is bigger and has the cookies, then it's like, okay, you're bigger, which means you only get a crumb, and then everybody else gets the cookies.

[Lise]

Oh, interesting. So the society of Doglandia favors smaller dogs.

[Paloma]

Yeah.

[Lise]

In your story, it honestly sounds like Doglandia is kind of utopia, but it seems like there's also some controversial elements here. I wonder how the big dogs feel about the way they're being treated in Doglandia, as opposed to smaller dogs.

[Paloma]

Yeah, but, like, the big dogs also get jobs too. They get, like, big jobs since they're big. And the small dogs, they have small jobs. But if the small dog didn't exist, that would have a huge impact on Doglandia. Like, everything would crumble.

[Lise]

Wow, you've thought a lot about this.

[Paloma]

Yes, I have.

[Lise]

Are you going to keep building out your Landia, or how will you know when it's finished and fully realized?

[Paloma]

I don't know. I think it's already finished. I have a question for you.

[Lise]

Okay.

[Paloma]

My question is, what Landia would you have?

[Lise]

I think my Landia would be Musiclandia.

[Paloma]

Yeah, Nobody has owned that one yet.

[Lise]

Can I officially own Music Landia then?

[Paloma]

Yeah, you can.

[Lise]

Yeah. Wow, that was really suspenseful.

[Paloma]

But, like, if you want to, like, officially, officially, officially own it, like, then you just have to, let's see, sign a few papers.

[Lise]

All right, send him over.

[Paloma]

Okay.

[Lise]

Paloma, I love your story so much. Thank you for letting us perform it.

[Paloma]

Yes, thank you.

[Lise]

Bye. Bye.

[Paloma]

We'll be right back after a few words for the grownups.

Okay, so I just got a NORDVPN subscription for my Beep Boop machine, also known as a computer, and I have to Be honest, I love it. At first I was like what is this thing? I didn't even know what VPN stood for and I definitely did not think that my Beep boot machine really needed anything extra. But now that I have it, I'm kind of amazed at what it's doing.

Seriously, now that I have NordVPN, I realize that my previous cybersecurity strategy was the equivalent of leaving a donut on the kitchen counter when I know that Peter is around because that guy is always hungry for donuts. Now my Beep boot machine is like a fortified underground bunker that no one can get into unless they have a cool looking key that I specially designed to get in there. The key has my face on it with tiny little diamonds for the ice. To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan, go to NordVPN.com Pirates.

Aren't adventurers supposed to have a specific purpose? What are you doing on this quest? Just meeting strangers? Yep. My purpose is to have no purpose, though I sort of find purpose as I go.

[King Mutt]

My basket.

[Jasper]

It's missing.

[Sarah]

I have tried many means of defense, but none have yet proven successful.

[Peter]

I just wish someone would succeed in getting that darn sword. I am under attack by this ruffian.

[Sidequesting Ad]

I want to be big and strong and fight evil.

[Paloma]

I have hope that if you show up at her door, she might listen.

And now it's time for Story Pirates Roll Call.

[Sarah]

Send us your story. We read them. You know we love Story Pirate Roll Call.

[Peter]

Our first story comes to us from Kobe and Cyrus from Idaho. And their story is called the Pinecone that Wanted to be a Cowboy. Literally. Now I love this story because repeatedly throughout the story, the pine cone goes around and says I want to turn into a cowboy. Literally. This pine cone says it 1, 2, 3, 4 times. Maybe I literally wanna be a cowboy. And it wasn't until the very end of the story that I realized how literal Kobe and Cyrus meant this. I'm gonna spoil it. The end goes like this. Then poof. He turned into a cowboy. Literally, said Jeff, a boy who's a cow, literally. He was right there in front of me the whole time and I was thinking, yeehaw, cowboy. But it's moo moo Cowboy Boy Cow. Although technically a cow is. You know what? Nevermind. This story's perfect. Great job you two. Our next story comes from a six year old from Massachusetts named Vivian. And Vivian's story is called the Everlasting Chicky Story. I gotta say, this story has one of the most exciting, action packed beginnings to a story. It really just gets into it. Let me read the beginning for you. How does the chicken lay its egg? Well, maybe this story will answer your questions. Once there was a hen named Henny. One day she was walking around with her hen friends until splat onto the ground came an egg. Suddenly it happened to all her friends. Eggs were everywhere. All of the hens looked at them curiously and pecked them open and chicks came out. Then Santa appeared, making everything more confusing for the frazzled hens. Then they all started cheering. Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. That's just the beginning. Is there more Christmas chanting? Yeah, a lot of it. There's a lot of partying, a lot of chanting. And at the end, the whole world went to the North Pole and built houses and lived happily ever after together.

[Sarah]

What?

[Peter]

Now that Vivian is an everlasting chicky story. Bravo. Our final story comes from a nine year old from Delaware named Maya. And Maya's story continuing the holiday theme is called a Thanksgiving story. Whereas the chicky story had a lot of chanting of Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. This story starts with. I'm not kidding. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving. Maya, did you plan this with Vivian sending holiday chanting stories? Now what I love about Maya's story is what a clever reveal there is as to who it is that's telling the story. Let me read the beginning for you. Until that revelation is revealed. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. I had no idea what the word meant, but it was everywhere. The farmer, his wife, their three children. Everyone was talking about it. I decided to ask the farm car what it was and settle this. He broke into a fit of laughing when I asked. You're such a turkey. He howled. I stared down at my feathers, beak and tail. Well, you're right about that. I said, confused. Ho ho ho. I think we all know where this is going. Or do we? You'll have to read Maya's story to find out. Incredible job, Maya.
