[A]

The Story Pirates podcast takes stories written by real kids and turns them into sketch comedy and songs featuring professional actors, famous guests and original music to supercharge kids imaginations. Our brand new season starts November 6, so get ready to put the tablets away and light up your kids imaginations in the car, at home or even at bedtime with a show that, dare I say, grownups will also enjoy. Take a listen to a little bit of what's to come in season eight of the Story Pirates podcast.

[B]

I love Story Pirates. Switching to road trip mode in 3, 2, 1. Whoa.

[A]

The sails are folding in and the anchor is rising up.

[B]

A giant windshield is coming up on the deck. A convertible roof is enclosing the deck under the bucket thingy and monster truck.

[A]

Wheels are coming out of the sides. And is that a retractable tail fin, flame throwing engine exhaust pipes and racing stripes?

[B]

You know it.

[A]

Wow. I wish our new arch nemeses, the evil robot Dory pirates, could see this. I bet they'd be so jealous.

[B]

So I said, this doctor needs a bed.

[A]

Where's your bed? I'll bet for the doctor. Find your bed. I'll bet for the doctor. There's a bed. A bed for the doctor. The doctor is sleepy.

[B]

Hey, doctor, try this X ray machine.

[A]

It's cozy and it's very clean. But doctor, we can see your bones. That's not a good bed. To gather alligator droppings, you will need five stakes, these stilts, beans, eight nets, a set of armor, a chest net, a rubber band rock, and 19 books. I have many questions. No time.

[B]

Take one down. Passing around 22 bottles of Keeper on the wall.

[A]

Curse you all in this irritating song.

[B]

Queen bee. Yes, it is I, the Queen Bee, the undemocratic and unelected ruler of the bees. I came by to spit in the face of democracy and ensure that you are all carrying out my orders to annoy the humans and also vote.

[A]

Bees, this is your chance. Vote for someone else. She'll lose the election and you won't have to listen to her anymore.

[B]

These drones will vote exactly as I say. Not so fast, Queen Bee. But I think I have everything I need for our trip to the Grand Canyon. I checked off everything on the list mom made. But why do I need eight pairs of underwear if we're only going to be gone for three days? That's vacation math, honey.

[A]

Welcome to the new Story Pirates podcast Humans, where we take stories written by.

[B]

Kids and fix them by turning them into sensible short stories with clear instruction.

[A]

On practical behavior and logical thinking.

[B]

And songs.

[A]

Hold on. That last clip was not us talking. Who was that? Maybe it's the evil robot story pirates that Eric was talking about in that other clip.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

If true, seems like the sort of thing that we should know about. Yeah, because we make the show. Yes, it is disturbing to say the least. Hey, was that a robot voice you were just doing? What? No, of course not. Could have sworn that was a robot voice.

[B]

What?

[A]

Surely you could tell the difference between real Peter and robot Peter. Rightly.

[B]

I love Story Pirates.

[A]

The Story Pirates Podcast Season 8 coming.

[B]

November 6th the Story Pirates.
