[upbeat piano music] Hey, Story Pirates podcast listeners. Lee here. On today's episode, I get to explore an alternate reality where I never founded the Story Pirates. Sounds disturbing. And of course, we have two brand-new stories written by kids, and more story love with Lee and Peter. But before we get there, I need to tell you about something really exciting. We've teamed up with Rhett and Link from the show Good Mythical Morning for a special story contest to celebrate their new book, Spaghetti Head and Chicken Fingers, about two kids who wake up to discover that their favorite foods have kinda taken over their lives. We want kids to write us stories from their imagination about characters who discover a new meaning behind the phrase, "You are what you eat." Maybe, like the characters in Spaghetti Head and Chicken Fingers, your character wakes up one day to find out that their life has changed in a new food-centric way. And maybe it makes life harder or more interesting in a surprising way. And finally, maybe your character uses this experience to finally be brave enough to try something new to eat. All stories submitted will receive personalized reply from the Story Pirates, and one story will be adapted
