Pinna!
Hi, I'm Adam Gidwitz, host of Grim Grimmer Grimmest.
On every episode, we tell a grim fairy tale.
Not the cute, sweet versions of the fairy tales that your children have heard so many times.
No, we tell the real grim fairy tales.
They're funny.
They're weird.
Sometimes they're a little bit scary.
But don't worry.
We rate every episode grim, grimmer, or grimmest.
So you, your child, your family can choose the episode that's the right level of scary for you.
Tune in to Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest and our new season, available now.
Fourteen.
Fourteen.
And fifteen.
Hey, hey.
Fifteen what?
Fifteen jumps in a row.
Hmm.
Pretty impressive, little man.
But why are you jumping?
Getting some exercise?
Nope.
I'm jumping for joy.
How come?
Because we're going on an alphabet adventure.
We sure are.
And do you know what letter the word jump starts with?
J-J-Jump.
Hmm, J?
Yep, and that's perfect, because our alphabet adventure today is going to be all about the letter J Yay, J.
Where are we going today?
Nice rhyme, but you're just gonna have to wait and see.
Oh man.
Hey Quentin, you guys heading out?
Yes, we are.
Just make sure Alfie has his jacket on.
It's a little chilly.
Have fun, guys!
Bye!
Uh, are you going to jump all the way to our adventure?
Yep!
Okay, but while you're jumping, can you think of any other words that start with the letter J?
Hmm, let me think.
Well, what did you just zip up?
Oh, my j-j-jacket!
There you go!
What other J words can you think of?
Maybe something you drank at breakfast this morning?
Hmm, juice!
And I ate toast with Jam!
Woo-hoo!
All right, little man.
Soon you're gonna be taking me on alphabet adventures.
That's no joke.
Joke!
Joke starts with J, too.
Wanna hear one?
Yeah.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Jess.
Jess who?
Just kidding.
Good one, little man.
What's this place?
And what does it have to do with the letter J?
Let's go inside and find out.
Whoa!
It's a trampoline park, Quentin!
Sure is.
Can we go jump on the trampolines?
Of course.
Let's jump right in.
We just need to take off our sneakers first.
Ready.
Okay.
Then let's jump!

I jumped so high.
Yeah, you were flying, little man.
Like a superhero.
Jumping is good exercise.
Did someone say exercise?
I'll be right there.
Look, it's Coach Grace.
She's all the way on the other side of the room.
I think she's going to jump from trampoline to trampoline all the way over here.
Here I come.
Hi, Quentin and Alfie.
Whoa, that was awesome, Coach Grace.
When I heard you say exercise, I had to jump on over.
What are you two doing here?
Oh, we're on an alphabet adventure today, all about the letter J.
That's perfect, because I have three exercises that all start with the letter J.
Want to try them out.
Yeah.
Sure, Coach.
Great.
Line up in front of me right here.

This time I want you to jiggle your body like a slippery, slimy jellyfish.

That was excellent, Alfie.
Thanks, Coach Grace.
You too, Quinn.
Yeah.
Thanks, Coach Grace.
Well, I'm going to jump on out of here.
I want to do some more jumping jacks before I go.
See you later.
Bye, Coach.
Man, I can't wait to go on an adventure about the letter N.
Why?
So I can take a n-n-nap.
I think I need to sit down for a second.
Want to take a little break?
Yeah.
I'm all jumped out.
Look!
It's Miss Mixie!
The one-woman band!
Hi, Quentin and Alfie.
Are you jumping around the trampoline park today?
Yep.
But what are you doing here, Miss Mixie?
I love coming to the trampoline park.
There are so many great sounds.
All of the jumping, rolling, and tumbling.
It reminds me of jazz.
J-j-jazz.
Jazz is a kind of music, right?
Yes, it's a really special kind of music.
It's all about rhythm and feeling, like this.
Nice, Alfie.
Do you want to sing some jazz together?
Sure, but I don't know how.
That's okay.
Just follow me.
Ja, ja, ja, ja.
Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.
Ja, ja, ja.
Jazz starts with J. What do you say?
We jam and we play thanks to the letter J. My voice is an instrument.
It sings lots of notes.
I can sound like a trumpet.
Sing very high.
Sing You say we jam and we play thanks to the letter J. J-J-Jazz can be slow or fast.
J-J-Jazz can be loud.
Looks like we had an audience for our first ever jazz performance.
And look how much joy the jazz brought them.
That's what music is all about.
Maybe I'll play jazz when I grow up.
You just played jazz, Alfie.
I guess I did.
And I can't wait to play with you again.
But for now, I have to jet to my next jam session.
Bye, Mixie.
Bye.
What's a jam session?
Is she going to have toast or something?
Nope.
A jam session is when musicians get together to play music.
Cool.
But speaking of jam, I am a little hungry.
How about we check out the snack bar?
Yeah.
Why is the line so long?
It looks like someone is taking a while to order.
Oh, what do I want?
Kent just does not know.
It's Mr. Kent.
I think he's having trouble ordering.
Let's go see if he needs help.
Excuse me.
Can we get through?
Pardon me.
Pardon me.
Pardon me.
Your order, sir.
I, uh... Hi, Mr. Kent.
Oh, Quentin and Alfie.
Lovely to see you.
I was just... Is something wrong?
Yes.
I've been jumping all day and I need a snack.
But I don't know what I want.
All this jumping has my brain jumbled up.
Maybe we can help you figure out what you want.
Can you help him quickly?
There's kind of a long line.
Hmm.
What's on the menu?
Let's see.
Food and drinks.
Are you thirsty, Mr. Kent?
Yes, I'd like something sweet to drink, something orange or maybe apple.
I wanted to get some Jo... It sounds like you want juice.
That's it exactly, juice.
Oh, thank you.
Do you want anything to eat, Kent?
Yes, maybe a sandwich of some kind with something sweet on it.
Hmm, a sandwich with something sweet.
Oh, what's that sweet, delicious stuff that you put on bread?
It comes in a jar and starts with the letter j oh, i've got it.
More juice.
Um, i don't think you want to put juice on bread unless you want it really slimy and soggy.
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
Maybe you mean something else that comes in a jar that you can put on a sandwich Jelly.
What about it?
You could have a jelly sandwich, Mr. Kent.
Great idea!
Oh, thank you two so much.
I would like one jelly sandwich and one jug of juice, please.
One jelly sandwich and one jug of juice coming right up.
Mmm, sounds delicious.
Here you go, sir.
And thanks, you two.
Do you want anything?
Two jelly sandwiches, please.
And two jugs of juice.
We're thirsty.
Coming right up.
Mmm, so good.
Thank you, gentlemen, for your help.
But now, it's time to get back to jumping.
Bye.
Bye, kids.
What do you say, Alfie?
Once we're done with this snack, want to do a bit more jumping before we go?
Sounds like you need some juice to wash down that jelly sandwich.
Here.
Here.
Yes!
Of course I want to jump on the trampolines again before we go!
Then let's do it!
So what did you think of the trampoline park?
It was awesome!
I just love jumping!
You really get to see the world in a whole new way when you're up that high.
Yeah!
It's a lot more bouncy!
You sound just like Mixie.
It's fun!
Try it!
Well, little man, it looks like our adventure is done for today.
Hi, guys.
Did you have fun today?
Yeah.
We did so much jumping, and I learned about jazz.
Sounds like another great day.
Thanks, Quentin.
See you tomorrow?
Of course.
So, what's our next adventure going to be, Quentin?
You'll have to wait and find out tomorrow.
K?
No hint?
I just gave you one.
K?
K?
K!
Bye, Quentin.
Good night, little man.
Good night, Miss Betts.
