Hey Story Pirates Podcast listeners!
Peter here! This week we have a brand new story for you that combines two of my favorite foods, gummy bears and weird wizards.
Wait, hold on a second.
Did I just say weird wizards?
Okay, that is NOT one of my favorite foods!
In fact, weird wizards are specifically one of my least favorite foods.
I hardly ever eat them.
Almost never! Anyway, it's all coming up right after a few words for the grownups!
Hey grownups! Season 7 of the Story Pirates Podcast is right around the corner and it's time for your kids to send us their own stories but maybe they don't know what to write about?
Luckily, Story Pirates is partnering this season with The Week Junior, an incredible magazine that kids can't wait to read!
Every issue of The Week Junior has a section called Photos of the Week that is full of photos that are great to tell an imaginative story about.
Grownups, as part of our partnership, you can get six free issues of The Week Junior for your family delivered right to your mailbox by going to theweekjr .com slash Story Pirates.
And don't forget, the Story Pirates Amazing Adventure Tour continues October 5th and 6th with shows in Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Now, back to the show.
I love Story Pirates!
I've been told it has no reactive imagination.
It makes me feel cozy.
Your pen and paper have arrived.
Don't worry about the bad stuff.
Just think about positive eyes.
They write most of my stories for fun.
There's so much out there that you'll probably never know.
The Story Pirates. Welcome back to the Story Pirates podcast.
Would you consider yourself an impulsive person?
Meaning sometimes you just do things without thinking.
As for myself, I would not consider myself impulsive.
Not in the slightest.
For instance, today's story is all about gummy bears, and that fact in no way makes me want to impulsively eat this giant pile of gummy bears right in front of my face.
I mean, I can hold back in the gummy bears!
So sorry. Anyway, today's new story features two kids who are also a little bit impulsive.
Here's the author to introduce it.
Hi, I'm Connor. I'm 12 years old and I live in Tennessee.
And this is my story, Cursed Gummy Bears and a Weird Wizard.
Jack, Grace, wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Hurry up or your breakfast will get cold.
Coming, Mom! Beat you again, Jack!
Only because you cheated and jumped over the banister, Grace.
I only jumped over the banister because you swung from the chandelier.
I want a remand. Now kids, there will be no rematch.
At least not until you've had a good, healthy breakfast.
Yes, Mom. Sometimes I wish you two would just stop and think before you make such wild and extreme decisions.
Where do you get it?
Anyway, I gotta get to my flaming sword swallowing class on my motorcycle.
Make sure you get all of your chores done before I get home.
Bye! So, should we do our chores?
Should we check out that new store down the street?
Definitely the candy store.
Whoa, this candy store is huge!
Very purple. Look at all this incredible candy.
Should we buy them first or just start eating?
Let's eat. Hello there.
I see you're both the eat candy first ask questions later type.
Oh, sorry. Yeah, we'll pay for these.
Oh, I know you will.
So, how much is all this?
Wait, what's in that big purple box behind you?
Oh, you mean the one wrapped in caution tape with all the warning signs that say, do not open contents highly mysterious?
Yeah. These are our super mega crazy weird gummy bears.
How much are they? Each one costs $50 ,000.
What? But I'll give you a taste for free.
Yay! I must warn you.
Nah, that's okay. No, seriously, it's important.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give us the candy.
And consequence free.
Now, what were you saying about the gummy bears, Mr.
Candy Salesman? Nothing at all.
Just that they're cursed.
Cursed? Did I say cursed?
I'm sorry. I meant they're very cursed.
Very cursed? And that's not all.
This isn't actually a candy store.
And I'm not really a candy salesperson.
It's not? You aren't?
No, we are in a flying shoe, and I am Glorfallen Shpeel the Powerful.
Magical reveal. Whoa, we are in a big shoe, and we're taking off into the sky.
And look, he is a wizard.
Check out his hat. Thank you for noticing.
Whoa, what is that?
This is Jorphy Bob the Unintelligible.
My best friend, co -pilot, and my pet.
Is he a talky banana?
He sure is. Grace, look.
There's our school.
It's so small from up here.
We should really get home.
We still have chores to do.
What do you want with us, wizard?
You impulsive children must learn the value of thinking before you act.
And you will only do this by passing my diabolical test, which takes the form of the delightful party game.
Would you rather? I don't know.
It's getting pretty late.
What if I give you a cupcake wrapped in a cloud?
Deal. Here you go. Cupcake.
Whoa. Delicious. Round one.
Would you rather live next to a giant volcano that spews hot fudge or have your house flooded by a wave of whipped cream?
Before you answer, please feel free to ask any clarifying questions about...
Hot fudge volcano! You sure you don't want to ask any?
Definitely hot fudge.
I would swim in the chocolate lava like it was my job.
So be it. Jack, look!
A giant volcano is growing right next to our house!
And it's spewing fudge all over the city.
We thought this was all hypothetical.
You didn't ask. Please make it stop!
Question the second.
Would you rather have $50 or one billion pennies?
If I were you, I would consider...
A billion pennies, obviously.
Yeah, that's still like millions of dollars.
So be it. Grace, look!
Our house is flooding with pennies, and the chocolate lava is flooding the town.
You gotta make it stop!
There's only one way to reverse a Gorefallen spiel spell, and that's to tickle Jorphy Bob the unintelligible banana until he peels.
He just jumped out of the shoe!
And he deployed a tiny little parachute.
He's headed for our house!
We gotta catch that banana and tickle him before it's too late.
Here, Jack, take this kid -sized parachute and I'll take this one.
Let's jump! You might like to know those parachutes.
Ah! Are made of marshmallow, which I could have told you had you asked.
They're gone. I hope they make it down, they're okay.
We made it. Grace, stop eating the parachute!
Sorry, the marshmallow's really good.
Come on, get into the house.
There are so many pennies!
It's hard to move! It's almost a ceiling!
Look, Jorphy Bob is on top of the bookshelf!
Ah, Jorphy! I bet I can catch him first.
Yeah, right. Let me show you how it's done.
Wait, huh grace. This is what we always do.
Rush headfirst into action without thinking you're right Jack Maybe it's time.
We finally stop and think Are you thinking what I'm thinking throw something on him to slow him down exactly But what can we throw all that's around us are a sea of pennies and gore fallen spiel's wizard hat Gore fallen spiel's wizard hat.
Yes. I'm here, too.
I Teleported with a spell I caused Hey, give me my hat back You got him now quickly let's tickle him We did it and all the pennies are disappearing and the volcano is going away and the bookcase is falling over Wait what it's going to tip fly you fools I Just had the weirdest dream so did I Oh Jack
grace wakey wakey eggs and bakey Mom, we just had the same dream and it was so weird but felt so real Oh, I can't wait to hear all about it.
But first quick questions.
Would you rather tell me about your weird dream or Go check out that new candy store that opened up down the street mom I think I can speak for both of us when I say we'd like to think about it We'll be right back Hey grown -ups season 7 of the story pirates podcast is right around the corner and it's
