Hey, Story Pirates podcast listeners. Lee here. Welcome to part two of our big season finale. That's right, this is the end of season seven. But don't worry, that doesn't mean we're going away. We'll be back in two weeks with new stories all summer long. And for Creator Club subscribers, there will be two new episodes every week. But enough about that. You'll remember that last week, the Story Pirates accidentally brought to life something like, I don't know, 3000 different characters from stories we've performed over the years, and now they're all on the ship with us. Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine. And we have two brand new stories written by kids, of course. Grown ups. Did you know that ads only cover a small portion of what it costs to make this show? It's true. So if you'd like to help us keep making it, consider supporting Story Pirates by becoming a Creator Club member. There are so many perks, including the ad free version of the show. Premium members even get to participate in a quarterly video meetup with Lee and Peter where we create a brand new story together for the podcast.

Two brand new stories and part two of our season finale coming up right after a few words for the grown ups. Oh, my God. I said. Ahem. Settle down, everyone. If you can hear me, clap once. Thank you so much. Welcome. I'm Lee and we're the Story Pirates. We, well, we take stories written by kids and we turn them into sketch comedy and songs. And I'm Nimini, and, well, I made a little oopsie with some science. And so you are those stories come to life like the characters from the story. You are the characters from the stories which have come to life. Sorry, I'm usually so calm and collected, but this is really something else. I've got this. Hi, I'm Peter. Why don't you all go around and introduce yourselves? We can start with everyone from season seven. Yes. Hello. Hi, Julia. Adults at your service. Inventor of the world famous dessert grilled peaches. A totally normal dessert, nothing weird about it. Ooh, I love grilled peaches. My name is Bob McMickypan Skoodlebob, and I'm A mad scientist. Ooh, ukulele. That definitely won't get old. And I'm a ghost. I'm not scared of you. Who has one question? Ready to start your business? Well, that's probably enough intro. Stump. Is your name Stump? Stump. Taking that as a yes, Stump, we get it. Pancakes. Is your name Pancakes? No. My name is King Zorblock. I want pancakes. Oh, I see. How many more characters do we have to get through? According to my calculations, 3072. Oof. Maybe everyone could just introduce themselves at the same time. Sure. On the count of three, everyone introduce yourself. One, two, three. My name. Well, that cleared things up. All jokes aside, I for one feel like that was very unhelpful. Should we all just proceed with our day as if there weren't 3,000 extra people on the ship? Yes. Great idea. 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 I'm just flying over and I'm like, like, peace out. I believe all the things in my story. Human beings are just able to create the story. Pirates. Welcome back to the Story Pirates podcast, everyone, where we take stories written by kids and turn them into sketch comedy and songs. And it's just so beautiful to be on the show today doing a grilled beaches Devonshire. No, Julia, this isn't a morning show. And you're not doing a demonstration. This is a podcast. A cooking podcast. No, we literally just said what kind of podcast it is. That's right, Rivernee. And what's better on a hot summer day than grilling up some fresh peaches? Look at these gorgeous peaches I have right here. Where did you get all those peaches? Now, if you're following along at home, you're going to need a baking dish. This isn't a cooking demonstration, you know. I think it's time to do a story. And here to introduce it is the author. Hello, my name is Jethro. I'm 80 years old and I live in New York. This is my story. Traffic. A nightmare. Two centuries, seven decades, five years, three seasons, one month, two weeks, four days, nine hours, 52 minutes, 28 seconds and 627 milliseconds. Two centuries, seven decades, 5 years, 3 seasons, 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 52 minutes, 28 seconds AND 627 milliseconds. There were two kids who were stuck in traffic for what seemed like ever. They each got to order a pizza and eat the whole thing. That's two pizzas. They walked a mile, then a mile back. Took her 25. They brushed their teeth and trimmed their nails, but they barely moved at all. They were stuck for two centuries, seven decades, five years, three seasons, one month, two weeks, four days, nine hours, 52 minutes, 28 seconds, and 627 milliseconds. They were going to the ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. They were going to the ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. We modified our car to go 500 miles an hour. Then we drove back home to get the mail, which was almost 3,000 miles away. Then we came back to the traffic and finally reached a bend in the road. Thought it would be over, but closer. We're still quite a ways to go. Traffic, a nightmare. Seems like it never goes 2,575 miles after they turn that bad. Going to the ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. And when they finally got there and they ordered their ice cream, we took a bite. But unfortunately, it was low quality ice cream. And when the kids asked their dad, why can't we go to a better store? The dad said, this was the closest to us, not including traffic, of course. And then he said, I think we gotta go home, kids. Daddy's tired. And it took 3,000 millennia. That's 3 million years. 3,000 millennia. Millennia and 2 milliseconds to get there. Plus 2 centuries, 7 decades, 5 years, 3 seasons, 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 52 traps, 29 seconds and 6. And now Lee speaks with the author. So, Jethro, you wrote Traffic a Nightmare. Yeah. Can you tell me how you got the idea for that story? Oh, so I was stuck in traffic on the highway. So the GPS told us to go down, but the GPS also told everybody else to go down. And I was, like, walking by the side because it was so slow. And then I beat the car in a foot race. And then we finally got out of traffic. Sometimes it feels like life is full of nothing except for lines that you have to wait in and traffic you have to sit in. I know. Yeah. Do you think it's possible that we could live in a world someday where there are no cars or a lot less cars? Maybe we could live in a world with less cars and maybe a different kind of transportation. Like there's this machine and everybody has their own, like, teleporter, and you input the address, then you step in and you get just teleported to the other teleporter. So that's, like, going to come out in, like, 39, 20 or something. It sounds like you're the kind of person who likes to think about solutions for difficult problems. Is that true? Yeah, I'm going to be an engineer when I grow up. Can you describe for kids listening who might not know what an engineer is? Oh, so an engineer is someone who can build like robots and code them. Like cars were engineered by like, let's say a guy named Bob Fred. Okay. And they were engineered by him because he made them and like, produced them. Do you have any dreams of what you would be creating or building as an engineer? I was thinking of these, like, robots that can like make breakfast and like, tidy things up. And I'm gonna make that so I don't have to clean my room. And if you don't have to clean your room, you could leave early and miss the traffic. And I could also invent a flying car where like everybody else is stuck in traffic and I'm just flying over and I'm like, peace out. And then I like attach a banner to my car that's like, call blank. And then everybody's like on their phones calling the number. And then I like hire 100 receivers to pick up the phone calls. And then when everybody else is in the air, I'll go back down on the ground. And then after a while they'll think like driving on cars on the ground. It was old timey and I'm like, selling old timey things. And then they want it so they can auction it so I get more phone receivers. That is amazing, Jethro. I love the way your mind works, my friend. Thank you for talking to me today. This was a blast. Okay, bye. Bye. So, should we deal with our little character problem? You know what? I've decided that it's actually not a problem at all. Everything's normal. Except now there are 3,000 more people on the ship sitting on our couches and using our toilets. No reason to panic. I say let's just pretend like nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Love that. Alright, well, see y' all later. Alright, bye. Hmm. What would I do on a normal, not weird, average day? I'd go to the kitchen. What sort of snacks do we have today? Ooh, grilled peaches. My favorite Peach state. I guess I'll just have a small bite. No. Oh, hi, Julia. Adult. These grilled peaches are amazing. I can't believe you ate all my grilled peaches. Do you know what it took to make those? Um, a grill. First I had to take all the cushions off my couch. Then I had to Find a vampire. Then I had to put the peaches in the middle of my living room so I could draw a demon circle around them. Then I had to use my sweater to cover my head and then rub flowers all over my body. Why? So the demon couldn't attack me. Keep up. Food used to be fun. I wonder how everyone else is doing. The Purple Porcupine Polka. Danced on the porch in Portland. The Purple Porcupine Polka. Okay. Stomp. I didn't see her there. Stomp. I was just doing my vocal warm ups. Stomp. It's very important that I do them every day to keep my voice nimble, Stump. Right. Okay, well, I'll be going back to my warm up now. The purple porcupine stump. Oh, Stump. Maybe you didn't understand because you're a stump, but I really do need to do my warm ups. And that means complete quiet from you. Do you understand, Stump? Fantastic. The purple stump. Oh boy. Now that's a beautiful looking chair. Now all I have to do is sit on it, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasure of having a hobby. Or you could start a business. A chair business. No, I don't want to. Come on. Turn the thing you love into an annoying chore by making it your job. No, stop. You're scaring me. You can sell your chairs online. No, no. Just start an llc. What could go wrong? Stop. Stop. No. This is too much. Everyone come meet me in the lounge. We have to figure out how to get rid of all these characters. Thanks for joining me, everyone. As I was just screaming. We have to figure out how to get rid of all these characters. That's what Natasha Lyonne said to me when she accidentally wandered into my one woman show. I agree. It's gotten out of control. I just tried to take a nap and that scientist Bob McMickypants GoogleBob wouldn't stop playing as ukulele. And I was tending to my garden and a breakdancing dragon kept tearing through my rutabaga. You think that's bad? That ghost tried to get me to start a business. Oh no. That's awful. Terrifying. We have to do something. But what a solution seems impossible. Attention, attention. I have a solution. I have successfully invented a machine that can send you all back to your stories and we can have our shit back. Not that we mind having you here. We love it. But. Well, you know. But we don't want to go back to our stories. Yes. Gasp. We'll be right back after a few words for the grownups. You chose to hit play on this podcast today.

My story, it doesn't have any hamburgers. Since I've been on the ship, I've eaten several hamburgers and I don't want to go back to a world without hamburgers. I'm a vegetarian, okay? But since I've been here, I too have eaten several hamburgers and I love them. I don't want to go back to my story where there will be no hamburgers. I too cannot go back to a world without hamburgers. Stop. Stump does that mean you want hamburgers too? Stump okay, who here doesn't want to go back to their story? Because they love hamburgers too much. Me. Oh, but where can they all go? Where is a place where a bunch of characters, talking animals, a stump, and 3,000 other random weirdos can live in beautiful harmony? Hey, wait a minute. Isn't there a deserted island right near Monster Isle? What if we took them all there where they could start their own community based on a. A mutual love of hamburgers? Story characters. Do you want to go live on a beautiful island in the sky and eat hamburgers all day? Yes. Well, then there's only one thing to do, Peter. You have to turn back into a goose and take all 3,000 story characters to a deserted island. Great idea. Wait. Doesn't the ship work again? I agree that this is the best plan. Okay. To the deserted island. All right. That was the last one. Wow, look at them all. Building houses, grilling peaches, playing the ukulele, having a catch in the park, eating hamburgers. It's so beautiful. That's the power of stories. They can create worlds. Eric, that was really beautiful. Thanks. Makes me want to sing a song. Don't ruin the moment. What should we call this place? How about Story Island? Me too, Peter. Me too. This is making me want to find some new stories. And now that the ship works, we can. But first, Peter, should we do another story? And here to introduce it is the author. Hi, my name is grace. I am 9 years old and I live in New York. This is my story. The Knight who Couldn't Guard the Castle. Oh, boy, oh, boy. Another day guarding the castle. I hope I do a good job. Hello, Bob the knight. Hello, stranger. Where are you going? Into the castle. Okay, have a nice day. Bye. What a nice fella. Bob, you, Majesty, the King. Why do random people keep getting in the castle? I don't know. What do you mean, you don't know? I just saw you letting that last random person in. Who? Him? He's not random. Then who is he? Oh, I have no idea, Bob. That means he's a random guy. Oh. Gotcha. Don't worry, boss. It won't happen again. See that it doesn't. Good day. Okay, Bob. No more letting random people in. Do, do, do, do, do. I'm just a guy walking into the castle. Hey, you. Hello, knight. Why are you going into the castle? Because I want to. Oh. Okay then. In you go. Thanks very much. I think I'm starting to get it. BOB what are you doing? Guarding the castle. Then why did you let that other person in? Because they wanted to go in. But that was a random person. I'm so sorry. What is your point? Bob? Look at me and remember this. Don't let random people in the castle. Oh, rhyme, rhyme, rhyme, rhyme. I got it. You better. Okay, Bob, that was embarrassing, but you've got this. No more letting random people in. Hey, you. Who, me? Yes, you, random guy carrying all those empty bags with dollar signs on them. Why are you trying to get into the castle? Mmm, no reason. Can I enter? Hmm. Hold on. I need to check my memory. Bob, remember this. Don't let random people in the castle. That's right. Okay, random guy, you can go in. Thank you. You're welcome. Great job, Bob. You are nailing it. Cob, you, Majesty. Did you just let a burglar into the castle? Hmm. Is this a trick question? No. You clearly did, because I was just robbed. I really, really shouldn't give you another chance. And the fact that I am is poor leadership on my part. But please, please stop letting in random people. Your Majesty, I vow to you now that. That no one for any reason will make it through that door. You can trust me. I shouldn't. Thank you. Last chance, Bob. Weird. I sort of feel like he was mad at me. I guess I should play it safe and not let anyone into the castle. Hey, random person, you dropped this paper. Oh. Oops. I'll take that. Hey, wait a minute. This paper has writing on it. Uh, you don't need to read that. It says, step one, get in. Step two, get into the grand hall. Step three, start cutting everything in half with the chainsaw. Are you trying to get into the castle? Yes. I knew it. Right this way. Thanks. Wow. Be careful with that chainsaw. Don't worry, I won't. Have fun. Chainsaw time. Woo. Huh. What a funny guy. I'm chopping everything in half with this chainsaw. Couches, chainsaw, mantelpiece, chainsaw. The royal throne, chainsaw. No one is here to stop me, so I won't stop until everything's cutting out. Wow. I wonder what he's doing in there. Bob, all my stuff is cut in half. What? Why would you do that to your stuff? I didn't. You have to be the worst castle guard of all time. Maybe you're not cut out for this job. What? No. Please don't say that. I promise I'll do better. Just give me one more chance. I really, really, really shouldn't. But for no logical reason at all. Okay. Phew. But if you let a random person into my castle one more time, I will fire you. Good day. Okay, now I'm pretty sure the king Is mad at me. But how do I solve this problem? I know. I'll go and see the scientist. All right. Science experiment. Just one more drop of this chemical and. Perfect. Ooh, a visitor. Hello, scientist. Hello, knight. So, apparently I'm not a very good guard. Yeah. Aren't you supposed to be guarding the castle right now? See what I mean? Will you do some science to make me better at guarding the castle? I will. Hooray. Get in this machine. Okay, are you ready in there? Nope. Machine on. This is not fun. Did it work? It did, but the machine says there was a side effect. Don't worry, scientist. I've stopped listening. Oh. Okay. Let's see how I do tomorrow at work. Hey, I want to get one from your car. No, no, no. Crowd of people. I've told you all all morning you can't come in. But we thought you let anyone in. Not anymore, BOB we finally had a day where no strangers got in. This calls for a celebration. Here, have a celebratory taco with me. Thanks. I love tacos. So, Bob, how'd you become such a great guard? I used science. And there weren't any side effects? Nope. And I'm pretty sure that I won't have. You're breathing fire. I'm gonna get burned. I don't like to be burned. Excuse me. Whoa. Your majesty. Why did you burn down your own castle, BOB you're welcome. The end. Send us your story. Send us your story. We read them all. We read them. You know, we love the mindful story Pirate Roll call. And now it's time for Story Pirates Roll Call, where we read real stories sent to the story Pirates by real kids from all around the world. And we discuss them the same way that we would discuss them in rehearsal before we adapt these stories into sketch comedy and songs. And joining us today we have the incomparable Jamie Watson. Hi, everyone. Thanks for having me. All right, let's jump into our first story. I'm excited. Yeah. This one comes from Sybil, nicknamed Billy, a 7 year old in Texas. And this story is called the Kangaroo who Came from a Portal. Who Loved sports. Okay, Peter, can you read us the first story? Once something just come out of the sky and some sightings say it was a portal. Two days after science told everybody in the whole wide world that it was a portal, something jumped out of it. Actually, it was pretty obvious that it was a kangaroo. And suddenly people started seeing it taking people's basketball and stuff and started entering games and then winning a bunch of medals and stuff. And then People wanted it to give a speech. So I don't remember exactly what it said, but I think it was something like this. Blah, blah, blah, sportsmanship, blah, blah, blah, blah, medals. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is he gonna be done yet? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The end. Wow. Amazing. More than anything, Billy's commentary on speeches. Here is something, something sportsmanship. Has there ever been a speech for which you haven't said? I don't remember exactly what they said, but it was something like this. Jamie, any. Any takeaways from this story for you? I really like when science told us what happened. We need that more in this day and age. Cause if science, just the concept of science says this is what happened, we need to listen up. Science said this happened because in, you know, when you say science says something, you're talking about peer reviewed studies. You're not. This isn't just some guy. Scientists don't just decide what they want to be true. They do these studies, peers review them, and findings are confirmed through evidence. Yes. What team, if you know this kangaroo, obviously basketball player, it seems. What team do you think this kangaroo would thrive on? Well, I just want to say there's a picture in it, and in the picture the kangaroo has a basketball and there's a soccer ball and other balls. So I think it's. And a tennis racket in its tail. So it's every ball game, it's every team. Well, yeah, and, and let's be clear, like the kangaroo here is not a member of the team. This kangaroo is aggressively entering games for. For which they are not a part of. Yeah, either of the teams. Yeah. But I love the strategy. Have you seen kangaroos? There are some jacked kangaroos out there. Have you seen these images? Kangaroo? I have seen these images and they are jacked. Yes, they can. Yeah, and they'll kick too. They'll kick. Oh, they'll kick. They can box. Yeah, they can box. If you can box, you can dribble. Okay. All right, I stand corrected. Science says that. That's right. Science says if you can box, kangaroo can dribble. Yeah. All right. Incredible story, Billy. Thank you so much for sending it in. Peter, would you read us our second story? Lee? I would love to. Our next story comes to us from a 5 year old from Maryland named Owen. And Owen's story is called the Story of the Stinky Robot. The story of the Stinky Robot. First, at the beginning, the humans come out and see the stinky robots. And the stinky robots throw stink balls at them. The humans Try to run away, but the stinky robots eat the humans. Then the robots keep eating all of the humans in the city. The name of the city is run away from the stinky robots. And that's the end of my story. And they smell like pizza. Owen. Oh, wow. Incredible work, Owen. Wow. Thoughts on the story of the stinky robot, Jaime. You know, my first thought here, when I think of robot, I think immediately, metal. Right. And to me, metal doesn't smell like anything. So it was so interesting for my brain to go, what if metal did smell like something? What if it was stinky? And then the reveal that it's pizza smell. I think pizza smells good, personally. Yep. But to each his own. I mean, you could put a topping on a pizza that stunk. Absolutely. Anchovies, sardines, broccoli, blue cheese, cauliflower, brussels sprouts. Does cauliflower smell like anything? Awful. Awful. I know people that microwave it. It's in the same family as broccoli. Yeah, I love broccoli. Well, but it smells not wrong. What's the worst smell to you two? Shrimp cocktail. That's gone bad. Just a little bit. Because you don't know that it's bad until you take till you get here, and then you're like, I could have had shrimp cocktail, and now I can't eat it. Has that actually happened to you? It literally happened to me yesterday. And you with the shrimp cocktail, were you keeping it? Was it, like. Were these leftovers? I bought it from the grocery store. Oh. And it was bad. And I was gonna use it as an appetizer, and I put it on a plate, and I snuck one before I brought it out. And then I went and I tried to, like, boil it a little. Didn't know how to throw it out. Well, for me, the worst smell is still microwaved cauliflower. Okay, so you're standing by that. Awful. Awful. I have one final theory about the pizza smell, which is that I believe that eating the humans helped the robots not to stink anymore and instead smell like pizza. It's the origin of pizza story. Pizza are just humans devoured by stinky robots. And then a shelf opens up and a pizza comes out. The chemicals combine. Yeah. The hormones, et cetera. And here's what we come up with. Yeah. I think a pizza sort of looks like if a robot just melted a human into a puddle, that's a pizza. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Pizza. We've got some tans and reds. I mean, now I'll never eat pizza again, but it's fun. Oh, you're gonna eat pizza again. You're right. Come on. You're right. Melted human puddle. Owen, thank you for inspiring those three words. All right, we have one more story to discuss for today's roll call from a 9 year old from California named Maude. And Maude's story is called some random pigeon for mayor. Perfect. Okay, here's the story. Once upon a time, there was a pigeon named some random pigeon. He lived in New York, and one day he decided he wanted to be mayor. But there were two small problems. Problem number one, he wasn't the smartest. Problem number two, well, he was a pigeon, so. Yeah. But his friends felt bad, so they decided to help. First, they got a mannequin from Macy's. Second, they got some clothes and a wig and put it on the mannequin. Then they got inside the mannequin. Then they went to the place where mayors go and tried to be mayor. The other competitors were Sandra McPushy Pants and Grandma. And then there was Bob. All the pigeons voted for some random pigeon. For some reason, they could vote, and some random pigeon won. Yay. And then this has 10 exclamation points. The end. For now. What? Wow. Cause getting elected is only the beginning of the story. I mean, we all know that. My first question listening to the story was, what was that moment when some random pigeon's mother was at the pigeon hospital delivering her egg? Yes. And it hatched. And the pigeon nurse says, what shall you name this pigeon? And she said, some random pigeon. Pigeon. I'm a big fan of some random pigeon's cousin. That pigeon over there. That's my favorite. Yeah, I like that one. I like that one too. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I find wild? Living in New York City, we see a lot of pigeons. Have you ever seen a pigeon egg in your life? Woof. No. No. Where are they? Where are they? High in the trees. In their nests. Yeah. Do they have the nests? Where are the pigeon nests? I always assume pigeon nests are made out of garbage. I'm sure most likely. Yeah, I would think so. Some wrappers. So the egg just looks like garbage. Probably. Oh. Explains why pigeons look the way they do as well. That's right. Okay, so as you guys know, in New York City, we now have ranked choice voting, which means that instead of just voting for one candidate, when you go to the polls for mayor, you can rank them. You can say, I like this person the best. I like this person the second, third, fourth, fifth. And it's actually really complicated because if you rank the wrong person first or second, you could get someone later on that maybe you really didn't want. So you have to be careful how you rank people. You can also choose not to rank someone. So I thought it might be good for us to practice rank choice with these candidates. So the candidates available for you to rank and I'd like you both to rank them. I will. Yeah. Are some random pigeon, of course. Okay, great. Sandra McPushy pants. Okay. She's great. Grandma. Grandma. Yeah. And then there was Bob. And Bob. So if you both want to take a second, I'm going to do my ranking now. And then after I do my ranking, I'm going to ask our producer Andrew over there to tabulate the votes. And at the end of today's Roll Call, we'll tell you who won and to watch the full Roll Call video with myself, Peter and Jamie, head to Story Pirates YouTube page where you can find out who wins the election for New York City's next mayor. Is it some random pigeon? Bob Grandma? Sandra McPushy pants? Find out on YouTube. Thank you, Jamie, so much for joining us. Thank you for having me and thank you for your stories. Thank you to hearing them. All of our authors, thank you for listening, watching to read all of today's Roll Call stories. Just head to storypirates.com that was roll Call.

Traffic. A nightmare was Written and produced by Eric Erson okay, I think they're all gone. You can come out now. Stump. Our plan worked. Stump. All of the other characters are on Story island but you. Stump. You successfully hid in my private bathroom so that you could stay on the ship. Stump. And in return, all you have to do is clean my private bathroom top to bottom once a week. Stump. You didn't realize that was part of the deal. Stump. Well you can't expect me to hide you here in my room basically forever and let you use my private bathroom without contributing something. Stump. Yes, you would need to clean the whole thing. Even the shower. Stump. Well, I guess I understand there's still time for you to join the others on Story Island. Stump. I'll miss you too. Stump. Now get out of here before we set sail. Stump. Ugh. Almost worked too. Now I have to clean it.
