Now back to the show.
What up Lee? It's me, DJ Squirmalot, the squirmiest, squirmiest DJ this side of Ibiza.
So, DJ Squirmalot, I kinda heard through the grapevine that you were planning a summer barbecue?
That's right Lee, I'm inviting over all of my worm friends and we're going to party down.
That's great news, and I know that I'm not a worm myself, so I'm guessing I'm not invited.
Truthfully, you would be too big for a worm barbecue.
Oh, like too famous?
Ha, no, Lee, not too famous.
Too large! Like physically.
We are tiny worms. And we don't want to have to worry about some dude accidentally stepping on us.
I am kinda clumsy, I guess.
Don't you worry, Lee, I'll still save you some food.
Oh, speaking of that, even though I won't actually be at the barbecue, I did want to contribute some food for the party.
Lee, that is so kind of you!
Thank you! Here, I got you this delicious red apple.
What, did you say? You got me.
What? This delicious red apple.
I know how much you like apples, so I thought all the worms at the barbecue could share it.
An apple is not food to a worm, Lee!
It isn't? No, Lee, an apple is a house to live in.
Not a piece of food to eat.
Oh, ugh, sorry, I guess I knew that.
Sorry. We bit over this, Lee!
It's like you're not even listening when I tell you these things!
You're right! I'm sorry.
I wasn't even thinking.
Here, take the apple anyway.
Maybe it could be a vacation home or something.
Ooh, great idea. Okay, I forgive you.
Phew, okay, well, I'm gonna head out.
Have a great barbecue and call me later?
Sure! See ya, Lee! Bye!
Now to get ready for my worm barbecue.
And while I do that, why don't I spin some tunes?
Let's do it! Listeners, this first track is a party classic.
From nine -year -old Naomi in California, here's Hedgy and the Cloud Kingdom!
This one goes out to all the little hedgehogs out there.
I want you to know that just because you're little doesn't mean you can't have big dreams and big adventures.
Let me tell you about one of mine.
DJ, drop that beat.
Let's do it! My name is Hedgy, and I'm a little hedgehog, and I've got a story to share about this one time that something happened.
And it all started at the fair.
I saw some balloons that were colorful and bright, the coolest ones I'd ever seen.
And when I grabbed those balloons and held them tight, the strangest thing, it happened to me.
I started floating up, up, up, up, up, up on the ground, yeah.
Up, up, up, up, up, up.
Into the clouds, yeah.
Up, up, up, up, up.
Never believe what I found.
Yeah, there were hedgehogs from all around, living their lives out loud in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
They floated up there, too, with their own magic balloons.
Yeah, we are hedgehogs from all around, living our lives out loud in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
We floated up there, too, with our own magic balloons.
And yeah, this kingdom, it was the very best.
It had everything you could name, like plenty of tasty snacks and lots of balloon games.
But there's no one over or over the other hedgehogs from all over the land.
Because when I asked if they all wanted to play, they said, yeah, Heggie, that's the plan.
And so we tore it up, up, up, up.
Into the night, yeah.
Up, up, up, up. Feeling all right, yeah.
Up, up, up, up. In our King of Lilith style.
And we were hedgehogs from all around, living our lives out loud in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
We floated up there, too, with our own magic balloons.
Yeah, we were hedgehogs from all around, living our lives out loud in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
We floated up there, too, with our own magic balloons.
And after a while, we began to miss our friends on the ground.
So we went on a quest to find our way and get back down.
Yeah, we waited for a foggy day when the clouds, they got real low.
And then we climbed down like we were climbing down a staircase as far as we could go.
Yeah, we climbed down, down, down, onto a building.
Down, down, down, onto a tree.
And down, down, down, finally onto the ground.
Yeah, we were hedgehogs on the ground where we were safe and sound.
No longer in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
Our friends were filled with love, they smothered us in hams.
Yeah, we were hedgehogs on the ground where we were safe and sound.
No longer in our magical Cloud Kingdom.
Our friends were filled with love, they smothered us in hams.
Yeah, we were hedgehogs from all around living our lives out loud.
From coming from our magical Cloud Kingdom.
We never wanted the night to end just playing with our friends.
Yeah, we were hedgehogs from all around living our lives out loud.
From coming from our magical Cloud Kingdom.
We never wanted the night to end just playing with our friends.
As I set up the barbecue, I have my grill, where I will grill fresh organic dirt into delicious dirt dogs and dirt burgers.
And of course, I have dirt buns and dirt condiments, you know, like dirt ketchup and dirt mustard, to give you a dirt that extra zing.
You know, throwing a barbecue for worms is actually pretty easy.
All we eat is dirt.
Now I just have to wait for all my worm guests to show up.
Hmm. Okay, while I'm waiting, how about another hot track?
This next song is by a seven -year -old from New York named Asa.
This is the raccoon's very hard choice.
The best food for us raccoons, the best food is trash and garbage.
The best food for us raccoons is trash and garbage.
What a life eating garbage, trash and garbage for Rufus the raccoon.
And taste raccoons.
And the taste of sweet and smelly garbage.
We eat our fresco under the moon.
Under the moon. All those leftover tissues and candy wrappers, we love them all.
We love them all. Every night eating garbage, there's nothing better than garbage, big and small.
Here we go. The best food for us raccoons, the best food is always garbage.
The best food for us raccoons is trash and garbage.
Trash and garbage. All right, raccoons of Maple Avenue, it's Thursday night, which means one thing.
It's trash night. Jeff, give him the rundown.
Well, the Henderson family has four bags of garbage out tonight.
The Smith family threw out a bunch of old newspaper lies.
Hey, Rufus, where are you going?
He's opening the Miller family's door.
Rufus, you know the rules.
We can only eat the human's trash outside on the curb.
It's fine, guys. They're at the beach.
I just want to check to see if they're hiding any garbage in the house.
Here I go. What a nice little kitchen.
I like the backstache and the fridge.
I think that's where they hide all the garbage.
Let's take a look -see.
Just a smidge. So much weird -looking stuff here.
These little red things, they smell okay.
One small bite wouldn't hurt me.
Here goes nothing. Hey.
Hmm. What are these yummy things?
Make my heart start to sing.
Let me see if I can make out the spelling.
Hmm. Strawberries. And what's this?
Lettuce. Fruits and vegetables.
I've heard about those.
I gotta go tell the others.
The best food for us raccoons.
The best food is always garbage.
The best food for us raccoons.
Raccoon friends, listen up.
I just discovered the most delicious food.
Is garbage, yes, must be garbage.
And now my whole perspective has been skewed.
Is garbage? What kind of garbage?
Oh, at first it might seem a little scary.
But try some of these vegetables and strawberries.
Mmm. Wow. This changes everything.
Raccoons are deciding whether the best food is trash and garbage or they're newly discovered fruits and veggies.
Got it. 14 votes for garbage and 14 votes for fruits and veggies.
Mufus, it's up to you to break the tie.
We spent our life eating garbage, which helps the humans and helps the earth.
That's true. But healthy foods help our bodies like fruits and veggies.
We know their words.
That's also true. And this crazy dilemma, this food dilemma, we must take it all.
What kind of food? The best food now is in garbage.
For fruits and veggies.
What? It's full. Oh.
The best food for us raccoons.
The best food is fruit and garbage.
The best food for us raccoons is fruit and garbage.
Trash and veggies. We choose our consciousness.
There's blood. There once was an ant named Liza who saved her colony.
Liza was the best ant speller at Ant Academy.
There once was an ant named Liza and she saved her colony.
Pay attention to her story of smelling bravery.
Outside my colony. I'm an ant and my name is Liza.
I live in a star -shaped hole in the wall of a human's house.
She's an ant and her name is Liza.
She lives in a star -shaped hole in the wall of a human's house.
Today the humans put a square box on the counter where they eat.
It smells so sweet.
So sweet. And the ant who saw the box would think it was treat.
So I checked it out.
It looked so neat. She walked across the letters on the box with her feet.
Sounding them out as she went.
A -N -T. But there was more spelling even though she's not a bee and her letters did she see.
T -R -A -P. Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap, Ant -Trap.
Liza the ant ran back to her friends and she told them all...
Beware! Beware! Beware!
Beware! The fox over there says it's trap.
I know what it says because I love to read.
She loves to read. I'm the top of my spelling class at Antcony.
I'm Liza the spelling ant I saved her colony.
She saved her colony.
There once was an ant named Liza who saved her colony.
Liza was the best ant speller at Ant Academy.

And this was Liza's Story of Spelling Bravery.

We hope that you enjoy our tale of spelling bravery.

Hey there, squirmy -wormies.
This is the Story Pirates summer BBQ mix tape.
And I'm your host, DJ Squirm -a -laff.
That song was the ant who saved her colony.
A new -ish song from the Story Pirates podcast written by Harper, a nine -year -old from Washington.
I've got my grill fired up and I'm ready to BBQ!
Bear, bear, bear, bear, bear, bear, wormies, let's go!
Wormies? Wormies? Hey, where is every worm?
My guests should really be showing up by now.
I already put a bunch of dirt dogs on the grill.
Let me just check my phone.
Okay, open this up, check in here.
Oh no! My mass email baby -q invite is still in my draft folder!
I never even sent it!
No! Okay, while I scream, how about another song?
From our recent holiday album, here's Shmeet Blue.
Now back to screaming.
No! I would like to invite you to my Shmeet Blue celebration.
What? You've never heard of Shmeet Blue?
Well, I'll tell you.
In three, two, one.
Today, Shmeet Blue.
Shmeet Blue. Shmeet Blue.
A well -known holiday among the town of Bob Pinugue.
Shmeet Blue. My favorite holiday and it's on December 6th.
It is on December 6th.
This is because on that day, the town hero, Cloype Cleep, Yavalava, me like Pineapple III, stopped a group of orangutans from eating all the snacks in town.
And then he put them in a nature preserve.
A nature preserve. He put them in a nature preserve.
And everyone was like, oh my gosh, I am so glad our snacks are okay.
So they were like, let's make this a national holiday.
A national holiday.
Today, Shmeet Blue.
Shmeet Blue. Shmeet Blue.
A well -known holiday among the town of Bob Pinugue.
Shmeet Blue. My favorite holiday and it's on December 6th.
The residents celebrate by throwing three -legged ocelots, wearing a parachute -eating black licorice out of a tissue box.
They also eat the traditional meal of plastic bags and balsa wood.
Not my go -to combination, but on Shmeet Blue, it's pretty good.
All of this because on December 6th, the town hero, Cloype Cleep, Yavalava, me like Pineapple III, stopped a group of orangutans from eating all the snacks in town, you know?

Welcome back my squirmy -wormies.
I am extremely full of dirt dogs and dirt burgers, and I even ate the dirt potato salad.
It was really good.
But now, I can't move.
So, uh, why don't you check out this next song while I take a nap?
From a nine -year -old in Illinois named Shay, here's If Dogs Are Janitors.
I go to bed next to her desk, and it's so cool.
You're probably wondering by now why a human principle hired me.
Gonna tell you how, oh, no one can resist these coffee eyes you see.
I'm a beautiful puppy just holding down a job, But no one understands me because I am a dog.
You're doing great work.
I'm so glad I, a human principle, hired you.
There's a silly rowdy bunch.
I keep the cafeteria clean and eat the scraps up off the floor.
I play with everyone.
My life is so much fun.
All the students pat my head on their way out of the door.
I know you might think it's weird that I made a life for myself here, but as soon as I appeared, I went to test Puppy of the Year.
I went woof, woof, woof!
Aaah! It's the news!
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Whoa! I'm a cute little puppy, just holdin' down the job.
But no one understands me, cuz yes, I am a dog.
This is the cutest dog I can ever see!
You're the winner! Aaah!
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Aaah! I know what's what's what's good!
I know what what's what's good!
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Aaah! If you can hear me talk!
You might wanna see a doctor!
See you later, Bob!
Good boy. Good janitor, dog.
Welcome back to the Story Pirates Summer Barbecue Mixtape!
I'm your host, D .J.
Squirmeli! And what a barbecue it's been!
Nobody showed up! It's really kind of embarrassing.
Hey, D .J. Squirmeli!
What are you doing back here?
Oh, I just thought I'd swing by and see how the barbecue was going, but it looks like everyone already left.
Oh, yeah, uh -huh, that's it, that's just it.
Tons of worms were here, and everyone had a great time.
Yeah, but they left.
Wow, it's kind of a mess.
Must have been a huge barbecue!
Yep, really huge! Otherwise, who could have eaten all this food?
Yeah! Are you okay, D .J.
Squirmeli? Oh, yes, I'm fine!
It's just, I've never seen a worm sweat before.
Good one! How about another song?
Wow! This next one comes from a 9 -year -old in Ohio named Isaiah, and it's called Undercover Birthday.
I get to plan my own surprise.
I'm gonna do it in a special way now.
I'm gonna put on my birthday disguise.
Everybody's gonna be there, but nobody'll see it.
We've got vengeance, anonymous, unnamed accomplices, just gotta keep it secret.

Before he gets started, that's time undisposed.
The guest list has now been erased.

Let's greet Indiana.
Look, it's Minnie! She's cute, and I know.
Neighbor says, she's so Minnie.
I could eat her right up.
Get your cell phones out, put her in a tea cup.
Give the girl some treats and watch her jump up and down.
My Minnie's the cutest dog in the town.
Good morning, Mrs. Amir.
Good morning, neighbor.
Hi, Minnie. You are so cute.
You know, you should be a famous dog.
Mrs. Amir, watch out for that fancy convertible.
You hit my mailbox.
Where is she? Where is Minnie the dog?
There you are, darling.
Excuse me, but who are you?
Here's my card. Vivian plush, top dog, talent agency.
Getting our client paw in the door.
I saw your doggy block.
I want to take Minnie to Hollywood and make her a star today.
Now! Minnie, hang on a minute.
Honey, Hollywood doesn't have a minute.
Minnie, you're my best friend in the whole world, and I never stop my best friend from following their dreams.
Go get them, Minnie.

Anyway, you don't have to call me back or anything.
I know you're a dog.
I just wanted to say that I watched you on The Award Show, and...
I miss you, Minnie.
Congrats on being famous.
Oh, Minnie, I wish I could hear your thoughts.
No, this means Minnie.
I know doggies just say roof, but I need to speak my truth.
I bought a rowie mansion, and I'll leave you alone.
I'm but you and this same old doggy bone.
Anyway, time to go for a walk by myself.
Morning, neighbor. Oh, hey, Mrs.

My wormies, that last song was Minnie the Cutest Dog in the World.
Written by Leaf, a 9 year old from Indiana.
And next up we got an oldie but a goodie.
Going way, way, way back to the early years.
Here's Eat a Spider Day.
Hey kids, who's ready for America's favorite holiday, Eat a Spider Day?
We are! I love Eat a Spider Day.
It's my favorite day of the year.
Uh, what's Eat a Spider Day?
Why, you've never celebrated Eat a Spider Day?
Ha, no and it sounds terrible.
How do you celebrate?
Well, since you asked.
There are eight simple rules on Eat a Spider Day to help you celebrate in a very special way.
The first rule's standards aren't very hard to meet.
Just go into the forest and find a spider to eat.
Wait a second, what?
Oh man, I can't wait to eat a spider.
Let's head into the forest.
Okay, I mean I don't love the idea of eating a spider but I kinda like the forest.
So I guess I'll see what this Eat a Spider Day is all about.
That's the spirit. Just watch out for low hanging branches.
Huh? Ouch! I warned you.
The next two rules, you mustn't choose to break.
We have to get a fishing rod and try to find a lake.
But once you've got a fishing rod, you must make no mistake.
Then you have to try to catch a spider.
In the lake. Fishing rod!
There's a lake! Time to catch some spiders!
Break! Guys, catch a spider with a fishing rod?
I mean, how big are these spiders?
They're enormous. Definitely bigger than fish, no question.
Okay, I'm really starting to not like Eat a Spider Day.
Everyone, cast off!
Let's catch some spiders!
Whoa, I think I got one.
Me too! Let's reel them in!
Ugh, these two! We caught spiders!
Wow, this is the biggest spider I've ever seen!
I can't wait to eat this spider.
Oh, gross. I think my spider is looking at me.
I sure am. Happy Eat a Spider Day.
Give us a kiss! Ugh, gross.
Have I mentioned that I really don't like spiders?
The forte -ru of our holiday is sure to scare your spouse.
When you catch a spider in the lake, you have to bring the spider to your house.
What? No, no, no. I am not bringing a spider into my home.
Sorry, guys. It's not happening.
But we're already at your home.
Hi, sweetie! Happy Eat a Spider Day!
Oh, no, Mom. Not you too!
Now let's get those horrifying spiders inside the place you sleep.
Ugh, I really don't like this.
But fine. I guess if I'm gonna eat a spider, I might as well bring it to my kitchen, saute it with some garlic, maybe top it off with a little Berené sauce.
Ah, ah, ah! What now?
If you use some condiment, you'll surely go insane.
Rule 5 of Eat a Spider Day, then eat the spider's plane.
Oh, come on! Plane?
Who invented this holiday?
I am not eating a spider plane.
Nope. Next you're gonna tell me that I have to eat the spider with my bare hands like an animal.
Now you really got it.
Rule 6 of Eat a Spider Day will reaffirm your plan.
Okay, I get it. To eat the spider, you have to eat it with your hands.
Fine. But for the record, I am very opposed to Eat a Spider Day.
It doesn't matter what you think.
That's right, sweetie.
It's a holiday. Now it's time to eat your spiders.
Are you ready, Mr. Spider?
I regret nothing. And 3, 2, 1!
Yay! We did it! We ate our spider!
Oh, okay. I did it.
I ate the spider. Happy Eat a Spider Day, everybody!
Are you all happy? Well, of course we are happy, but our day is far from done.
The fact is Eat a Spider Day has only just begun!
What could you possibly mean by that?
Rule 7 is essential.
You must surely not rebuke.
When you're done with Rule 7, you'll all fall ill and have to.
Hey! Come on, man. Take it easy.
I'm sorry. When you're done with your spider, you have to do it again and again until you get sick.
You know, to be honest, we don't really like this part either.
So remember, we're going to Into the Forest to grab a fishing rod, catch a spider in the lake, bring the spider home, and eat the spider play.
With your hands! Are we ready?
Okay! Forest! Fishy Rod!
Lake! Spider! House!
Lake! Eat it with your hands!
Forest! Fishy Rod! Lake!
House! Eat it with your hands!
Again! Fishy Rod! Lake!
House! Eat it with your hands!
I think I'm going to be sick!
And that's how you celebrate Eat a Spider Day!
Guys, please don't tell me there's a rule 8!
Ah! Thank you for the reminder.
Rule 8 of Eat a Spider Day?
Then you go to bed!
And the holiday is over!
Are you kidding me?
All of that and then everybody just falls asleep?
This is how Eat a Spider Day ends?
Shh! You're ruining Eat a Spider Day.
Fine! The End! Well, my Squirmy Wormies, we've reached the end of our summer barbecue mixtape.
Thank you for coming to my barbecue, even though those other worms were no shows.
I can always count on you, my Squirmy Faithful.
But I got one more track for you to get wiggly to!
I hope that you can get outside this summer with some friends and family, and enjoy the good times!
Here's the final song from a five -year -old in California named Olivia.
It's the girl who wanted to eat the sky.
DJ Squirmalot, out!
Hi, everybody! I'm a little girl, and this is the story of how one day I ate up the sky.
Now, of course, I asked my parents first and they told me no.
I couldn't believe it, so I decided to ask them again.
Mama, can I eat the sky?
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Papa, I wanna eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh, it's beautiful and I, I, I want to eat the sky.
So why, why, why can't I?
No reason, my parents no matter the season.
Always like to tell me no, so I went for a walk just to let it all go as I'm walking.
A genie came by my way, he asked, and right away I say, I wanna eat up the sky, but my parents won't let me eat them though I cry, cry, cry.
Can I eat the sky? Eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Papa, I wanna eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh, it's beautiful and I, I, I want to eat the sky.
So why, why, why can't I?
Genie said, I love you, Shannon.
You wish us like a man.
In the blink I ate up the sky.
The sky was delicious like worn apple pie, but all of a sudden, and this ain't no lie, my tummy was turning and going awry.
Then my parents happened to come by, saw I was in pain and they thought I might die.
Woo! To the doctor, they took me real quick, said the doctor, Hey girl, you are sick.
There's a thing of which you're allergic.
I told him no, please don't think this a trick.
Then the nurse looked me right in the eye and she said, Did you eat up the sky?
I was shocked. Oh, how did she know?
Was it because my belly was big and it glowed?
With the stars, ah, and the moon, ah, and the sun, and I see a blue, ah, Did not eat just one part but two, ah, ate the whole thing.
Is that how you knew, ah?
Yeah, but also outside.
I met you through Genie and he did confide to me.
So now go home and rest and in no time, you'll be back to your best.
Oh yeah, eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh yeah, eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh, and Genie said that I, I, I could eat the sky.
But why, why, why did I?
Oh yeah, eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh yeah, eat the sky!
Eat the sky! Eat the sky!
Oh, and Genie said that I, I, I could eat the sky.
But why, why, why did I?
Ugh, my tummy still hurts.
From here on in, I'm sticking with the three major food groups, fruits, vegetables, and sugary sugary cereals.
I wanna eat the sky!
I wanna eat the sky!
I wanna eat the sky!
Eat the sky! I wanna eat the sky!
I wanna eat the sky!
Oh yeah, eat the sky!
Why did I? You know, on second thought, all of this could have been prevented if I had just listened to my parents.
Ooooh, nah! Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh!
