Hey there Story Pirates Podcast listeners,

0:03

Lee here. Today we bring you

0:05

a story about one of the

0:07

greatest art forms ever created. That's

0:10

right, I'm talking about dancing.

0:13

But not just any kind of dancing,

0:15

I'm talking about dancing that is done

0:17

by dinosaurs. And

0:21

it's coming up right after these quick

0:23

words for the grownups. Hey

0:31

grownups, today's episode is brought

0:33

to you by Universal Pictures Home

0:35

Entertainment to celebrate tomorrow's Blu-ray and

0:38

digital release of Illumination's animated comedy,

0:40

Migration. In our new bonus

0:42

episode that's out now, you'll hear

0:44

our adaptation of a story submitted

0:46

to us by 11-year-old listener William

0:49

called The Boy Who Wanted a

0:51

Friend. It's a tale of adventure

0:53

and friendship just like Migration. And

0:55

you'll travel through lands of vending

0:57

machines and hot dog vendors. Plus,

0:59

we bet you won't guess how

1:01

it ends. We're so excited for

1:03

you to hear it and be sure to

1:05

listen to the end of this episode to

1:08

hear more about the movie Migration. Now

1:10

back to the show. Hey

1:14

grownups, if you're a fan of comedy,

1:16

there's a brand new podcast from our

1:18

friend Justin Bartha that I wanted to

1:20

tell you about. You may

1:22

remember Justin from episode 7 this season.

1:25

He's the treasure hunter at the Met.

1:28

And as you heard, a seriously

1:30

funny actor. Justin's show is

1:32

called King of the Egg

1:34

Cream. And in addition

1:36

to Justin, it has just the

1:39

most incredible cast. Again, this show's

1:41

just for grownups and probably older

1:44

kids. Grownups, you can take

1:46

a listen yourself and see what

1:48

you think. But if you're a

1:50

fan of hilarious stuff and well-told

1:52

stories, you will probably like King

1:54

of the Egg Cream. Here's

1:56

a taste. Wow,

2:00

this egg cream is delicious. I wish the

2:02

chocolate syrup inside wasn't so expensive If you'd

2:05

like to save some shekels and have some

2:07

fun at the same time Make sure you

2:09

tune in to king of the egg cream

2:11

available wherever you get your podcasts And

2:54

back to the show I

3:06

Have been told I've had no reactive imagination

3:08

it makes me feel cozy Your

3:13

pen and paper have arrived Don't

3:16

worry about the bad stuff just think about

3:18

positive eyes They

3:21

write most of my stories for fun. There's

3:23

so much out there now. We'll probably never

3:25

know I There

3:32

are few things more satisfying in

3:34

a story than a good guy catching

3:36

a bad guy Red-handed

3:38

because though the world may

3:40

not always be fair when

3:42

we see fairness and justice

3:44

in a story It

3:47

reminds us to keep fighting for what's right

3:49

Another thing that's really satisfying

3:52

in a story dancing dinosaurs

3:54

and today's new story has

3:56

both Of those things. Here's

3:58

the author to interest Hi,

4:01

I'm Enoch, I'm 9 years old and

4:03

I live in Missouri. This is my

4:05

story with Zippy Dinosaur. And

4:16

that, my dinosaur students, is why you

4:18

should never go into tar pits. Oh!

4:22

Alright, that's the bell. Lunchtime everyone.

4:24

Oh, teach? Ah, Tippy Brontosaurus. Oh,

4:27

that's right. I

4:30

told you that you could use the classroom

4:32

for your secret project during the lunch period.

4:34

Thanks again, Gerald. Yes,

4:36

that's me, Gerald, a cool teacher that

4:38

students call by my first name. Have

4:40

a good time working on your secret

4:42

project, whatever it is. Unless it's

4:44

dancing, of course, because as all

4:46

us dinosaurs know, dancing is boring and will

4:48

never be respected as an art form. Uh...

4:52

Well, have fun. I'm off to lunch. Alright,

4:55

Tippy. You've made a lot of

4:57

progress on your secret dance. It's

5:00

time to record it. Setting

5:02

up the camera, pressing record. This

5:06

is Tippy the Brontosaurus and this is

5:08

my Tippy Dance, the Zippy Zap. Five,

5:11

six, seven, eight, Zippy Zap. Zap, bap, zap,

5:13

zap, zap, zap, zap, zap. Well,

5:16

well, well. If it isn't

5:18

Tippy doing his secret dance, the Zippy

5:20

Zap. It's

5:22

Steel, the Dilophosaurus. That's

5:24

right, because I steal stuff. And

5:27

it's Crony, Timothy, the Pteridodon. Don't you

5:29

know that dancing is lame? What

5:31

do you want, Steel? Did you come to

5:34

steal something? Not today. Today we're just here to make

5:36

fun of you. Mission

5:38

accomplished. Dino high five. So

5:41

long, Tippy. And remember, no one

5:43

likes dancing and no one likes

5:45

you. Huh.

5:48

That was surprising. I thought for

5:50

sure Steel was going to take

5:52

something. He literally always does. Oh

5:55

well. Now that my secret is out, I

5:57

have no choice but to find my courage

5:59

and sh- to showcase my dancing to prove

6:01

steel wrong. I'll go to the

6:04

most supportive atmosphere I can think of,

6:06

the local library. Here

6:09

I am at the library. Time to

6:11

show these quiet dinosaurs that dancing is

6:13

an art form. Ahem, greetings

6:16

library fans. Who's ready to

6:18

see some incredible dancing? Sush,

6:20

this is the library, a

6:23

place for quiet appreciation of the arts

6:25

and sciences. If you want to be

6:27

validated for your art by a live

6:30

audience, sign up for the talent

6:32

show. Wow, yeah, that

6:34

is a much more appropriate place to

6:36

perform. Good luck, but remember, no

6:39

one likes dancing here in

6:41

BC time. Oh, thanks.

6:44

Walking over to the bulletin board,

6:46

writing my name, Tippi, and done.

6:49

Now I better go home and practice. Hey,

6:54

Timothy. Look, our old pal Tippi

6:56

just signed up for the talent

6:58

show. Do you think Tippi is

7:00

going to do that incredibly fun

7:02

dance of his in the talent show?

7:05

You know, the one we pretended was

7:07

bad to make ourselves feel superior.

7:09

Yeah, and we can't let

7:12

that happen. What are you

7:14

thinking, Steel? I'm thinking we

7:16

steal Tippi's dance routine and

7:18

present it as our own.

7:23

Whoa, here I am at home. I've

7:25

been practicing my routine for hours and

7:27

I'm feeling really good about my zaps

7:29

and taps. I think I'm finally confident

7:31

enough to show everyone what I've got

7:33

tomorrow morning at the talent show. But

7:36

first, it's time for bed. Time to

7:38

listen to a podcast and finally catch

7:40

some shmee-mee-mee-mee-mees,

7:42

putting on my headphones. 30

7:45

million years ago, igneous rocks were

7:47

compressed with extreme pressure to form

7:49

something new and exciting. More

7:52

rocks. This podcast always

7:54

tips and these two stole my routine

9:53

and presented it as their own and.

9:56

you can prove anything unfortunately

9:58

feel a threat unless But

10:00

you have incontrovertible proof that you

10:02

invented the Zippy Dap Dance. I

10:05

have no choice but to wear

10:07

this jilly, dirty, plaice-shoopy tisio, and...

10:09

Maybe this will change your mind.

10:11

Gerald, roll the tape! I'm also running

10:16

10:26

seven, eight, Zippy Dap. Ha ha ha

10:29

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

10:31

Huh! That's absurd. We won

10:33

fair and square. You can't prove anything.

10:35

How do you know he didn't steal

10:37

it from us? Well,

10:39

well, well. If it isn't

10:42

Chippy doing his secret dance,

10:44

the Zippy Dap. Huh! Seal

10:46

did steal it. Boo!

10:48

Boo! No! That video was

10:51

doctored. It's not a real video. I'm

10:53

sorry, Seal. This tape proved

10:55

everything. Gerald, please escort these

10:58

two from the auditorium. I

11:00

mean, really. I just can't

11:02

believe that you would steal,

11:04

Steel. It's literally my name.

11:06

Yes, you're right. I am a cool teacher.

11:08

Oh. Chippy, in

11:11

honor of your wonderful dancing,

11:13

we bestow upon you this

11:15

beautiful first place trophy. Thanks,

11:17

everyone. Sorry, but, uh,

11:19

the rest of us haven't done

11:21

our acts yet. Can we please

11:24

get a turn? Oh.

11:27

Ha ha ha ha ha. The end.

11:30

We'll be right back. Now

12:01

back to the show. Now

12:13

it's time for Story Pirates Roll Call.

12:18

First up from Elliott and

12:20

Martin in Oklahoma, Oklahoma, we

12:22

have a great story. We

12:30

have a story called Penguin Quest. Now

12:33

have you ever been in a situation where

12:35

you have to go somewhere, let's say a

12:37

store, and it takes you a long time

12:39

to get ready and then a long time

12:42

to travel there, and then when you finally

12:44

arrive you realize the place or the store

12:46

that you wanted to go to is closed.

12:50

Well that's what happens in this story but even

12:52

worse because Michael the Penguin, who needs

12:54

to go to the store, lives in

12:56

Antarctica and the store is all the

12:58

way in Australia. Which

13:00

is thousands and thousands of

13:03

miles away. It's

13:05

so far away that part of the

13:07

journey, Michael the Penguin, needs his friend

13:09

the bald eagle to carry him. And

13:11

that's just the beginning of the adventures

13:13

that Michael the Penguin gets into. I

13:16

hope that you will check out this entire story.

13:19

Thanks Elliott and Martin. From

13:21

four year old Billy in Washington we have

13:23

a story called, Oh No, Wooly Mammoths Don't

13:25

Like Humans. And in Billy's

13:27

story we learn an important lesson. Yes,

13:30

wooly mammoths are cute. Yes,

13:33

it would be great if wooly mammoths would be

13:35

our friends. But wooly

13:37

mammoths don't like humans and they

13:39

will chase you. Luckily

13:42

for us, they lived in the ice age and they're

13:44

not around anymore. But

13:46

great story Billy. And finally

13:48

from Silas, a seven year old in Florida, we

13:50

have the story Race to the

13:52

Yummy Food. Now if you want

13:54

to make an exciting story, consider including a race

13:56

in it. And if you have a race, then

13:58

go to the other side of the street. then

14:01

a very exciting way to describe it is like

14:03

this. Mike goes past Jill and

14:05

then Sam goes past Jill and Mike, oh,

14:07

Silas is getting close to Jill and he

14:09

got past Jill and now he's gotten past

14:11

Mike and now he's getting close to Sam

14:13

and he's gotten past Sam and Silas is

14:15

near the finish line. And I'm

14:18

not going to tell you who wins the

14:20

race because you're gonna have to read the

14:22

original story to find out. Thanks

14:24

for sending it in, Silas. To

14:26
