July 01, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 50.5 MB

There’s still so much to say about Hey Arnold!, so the Kidz are taking one last look back at Season 5 and the entire five-season Hey Arnold! run, from the 1996 pilot to the final episode in 2004. Along the way, they discuss their favorite character moments, highlights from the series, and the impact this podcast has had on our lives. Speaking of which, it’s been an absolute dream to make this podcast and discuss this beloved show with you all. From the bottom of our little yellow hearts, than...

99 + 100 The Journal

June 24, 2023 00:00 - 59 minutes - 41.6 MB

Here we go. It’s the final episode of Hey Arnold! as a TV show – not including the movies – and it’s a doozy of a Stoop Kidz! episode, too. Arnold learns more about his parents’ mission to help save the Green-Eyed People of San Lorenzo – the mission that would take them away from him seemingly forever. Join Cody, Emily, and Harry as they dive one last time into an episode of the cartoon that gave them so many beloved childhood memories. If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show an...

98 April Fool's Day (with Dylan Guerber)

June 17, 2023 00:00 - 48 minutes - 34 MB

King of the Fools Dylan Guerber returns to the stoop for one final time! Arnold and Helga’s April 1 prank one-upmanship mirrors the secrets they keep from each other in “April Fool’s Day,” where Helga’s not-so-innocent practical jokes escalate tension between the two. In our discussion of this half-hour special, we discuss its place in the story of Arnold and Helga, its development, and the pranks we pulled in our own youth! Follow Dylan on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/quiverwingqua...

97A Timberly Loves Arnold/97B Eugene, Eugene!

June 10, 2023 00:00 - 59 minutes - 41.5 MB

Arnold has to face his on-again off-again crush on Lila once and for all when he starts getting attention from an unexpected source: Gerald’s little sister! “Timberly Loves Arnold” is a bit all over the place (didn’t we close the book on #LilArnold? Why’s Gerald so absent? Why’s Sid gotta be so creepy?), but it does get the Kidz a bit nostalgic for the social awkwardness of childhood crushes and sibling tag-alongs. Timberly’s good people. “Eugene, Eugene!” dramatizes the relationships among t...

96 Married (with Seth Zarate)

June 03, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.6 MB

Seth’s back on the stoop and he’s got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda’s origami game predicts each kid’s perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That’s right – she knows exactly who’s gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga’s vision of her perfect married life and Arnold’s depressingly dour subconscious. But eve...

95A A Day in the Life of a Classroom/95B Big Bob's Crisis

May 27, 2023 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MB

“A Day in the Life of a Classroom” questions the definition of “perfect” at P.S. 118 when a documentary crew wants to capture an exemplary day in Mr. Simmons’s classroom! Mr. Simmons takes it a little too literally – think cinéma vérité with less of the vérité. Big Bob tries a little too hard to change his ways after a close call with a gas attack(?) in “Big Bob’s Crisis.” But is selling your earthly possessions and moving your entire family to an Oregon commune better than just going to ther...

94A Phoebe's Little Problem/94B Grandpa's Packard (with Allegra Frank)

May 20, 2023 00:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MB

Allegra gets back in front of the mic and DOESN’T embarrass herself on this episode of Stoop Kidz! Phoebe, however, DOES embarrass herself when her nervous flatulence gets picked up on mic in front of a large audience. (Podcast editor’s note: That’s one heck of a microphone.) Can Arnold help Grandpa get back his precious Packard after it’s pilfered by some punk playing at payback? Can the automobile’s many quirks help the duo prove it was stolen? How many Dashiell Hammett references can they ...

93A On the Lam (with Erica Csuy)/93B Family Man (with Ellie DeMuth)

May 12, 2023 00:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MB

Erica Csuy and Ellie DeMuth are back on the Stoop! “On the Lam” sees Harold, Stinky, and Sid on the run after assuming they blew up the police station (ACAB) with science project rockets. (They didn’t. L.) In “Family Man”, Mr. Hyunh tries so hard to get a promotion at his restaurant job that he pretends Suzie is his wife, Arnold is his son, and Grandpa is his father to appease the boss, Mr. Camacho. But the boarders at Sunset Arms kind of already ARE his family, in a way! Listen to Erica and ...

92A The Racing Mule/92B Curly's Girl

May 06, 2023 00:00 - 44 minutes - 31.4 MB

Glueboy – Arnold, Oskar, and Mr. Hyunh’s new racing horse – is no racing horse. So it’s their job to get the mule(!) up to racing shape in “The Racing Mule”! The Kidz! are a lot less ambivalent about “Curly’s Girl”, where Curly’s childish, more than mildly creepy notions of “liking someone” take center stage with Rhonda as the victim. When Curly does Rhonda a solid by covering her when she ruins her mom’s expensive coat, he more or less blackmails the little aristocrat into pretending to be h...

91A Harold vs. Patty/91B Rich Guy

April 29, 2023 00:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MB

Harold loses to Patty in an arm-wrestling match – twice – before asking her for some training in “Harold vs. Patty”. A pretty weird version of the father/son dynamic appears in “Rich Guy,” when Arnold catches a hockey puck bound for wealthy team owner Sammy Redman’s head and becomes. Here’s a REAL million-dollar idea, Sammy: Repair your relationship with your own dang son first! If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts! Tell them they can a...

90A Arnold Visits Arnie/90B Chocolate Boy (with Hannah Borenstein)

April 22, 2023 00:00 - 55 minutes - 38.8 MB

If today’s guest had an Arnie, she might be named Anna: Hannah Borenstein returns for another Stoop Kidz! double-header! We meet more of Arnie’s friends, who look and sound suspiciously like the kids of Hillwood, in “Arnold Visits Arnie”: Lulu, Hilda, and Arnie reflect some of Arnold’s deepest anxieties. Hot tip: Maybe don’t go see a movie called Evil Twin 3 when you have a weird cousin who kinda looks like you. Then, Arnold puts his do-goodery to work helping Chocolate Boy address his well-k...

89A Suspended/89B Ernie in Love (with Charlie Mackin)

April 14, 2023 00:00 - 58 minutes - 41 MB

Charlie realized that not being a guest on Stoop Kidz! isn’t so cool after all, so she climbed up to our window, built a giant slingshot, put on a pizza delivery disguise, and straight-up BEGGED to be back on! Actually, that’s just what Harold does to get back into school in “Suspended”. Not even the school constitution can help lift Harold’s weeks-long ban from school! Short guy Ernie just wants a tall wife in “Ernie in Love,” but he gets a little overzealous in dating Lola. She’s just not t...

88A Ghost Bride/88B Gerald vs. Jamie O (with Niky Horowitz)

April 06, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 48.3 MB

It all started a hundred years ago, in 1923… actually, it started in March 2023 when we recorded this episode with Niky Horowitz! Hillwood’s urban legends take a turn for the tragically romantic when Arnold and friends learn of the Ghost Bride (and her philandering sister!) in “Ghost Bride”. Nike’s back for their second Jamie O.-centric episode with “Gerald vs. Jamie O.,” which pits brother against brother in Gerald’s bid for the attention of pretty teenager Chloe. Listen to Niky’s music at h...

87A Beaned/87B Old Iron Man (with Ryan Csuy)

April 01, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB

Welcome yet another Csuy to the podcast – Ryan Csuy makes his debut on the stoop! In “Beaned,” Helga develops traumatic amnesia (watch out for that baseball!), igniting Arnold’s caretaker instincts. It’s so nice that even after she recovers, Helga pretends she’s still out of it just to get more attention from Arnold without having to say she wants it. An old rivalry is given new life in “Old Iron Man” when former coworker and friend-turned-boss man Jimmy Kafka resurfaces in Grandpa’s life. Ca...

86A Helga's Locket/86B Sid and Germs (with Dan Nagan)

March 23, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.9 MB

YOU FORGOT YOUR MOUSTACHE!!! Dan Nagan (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) is back! “Helga’s Locket” is a lot like “Helga Blabs It All,” except instead of a voicemail, she’s trying to prevent Arnold from reading the confessional inscription on a love locket she made! Grandpa gets ahold of it but can’t open it, leading to a convoluted series of events that keeps it JUST out of Helga’s reach. Depending on how you look at it, it’s either too plain or it reaches Simpsons levels of goofy cartoonis...

85A Stuck in a Tree/85B Rhonda Goes Broke

March 18, 2023 00:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MB

Arnold, Harold, and Eugene get stuck in a tree in “Stuck in a Tree” and Chocolate Boy may be their only hope. Heaven help them! Rhonda gets a taste of working class living conditions (Sunset Arms) when Daddy Lloyd’s stocks go bunko in “Rhonda Goes Broke”! It all wraps up pretty conveniently, before Rhonda has time to learn a whole lot, which is kind of how it works for rich people in real life, too. Stick around between episodes for our conversion on the neat little Helga x Arnold supercut th...

84A New Bully on the Block/84B Phoebe Breaks a Leg

March 10, 2023 00:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MB

DUDE! Wolfgang meets his match when the new kid, Ludwig, attempts to take over his turf – the hallowed vacant lot – in “New Bully on the Block”. Phoebe’s finally had it with Helga’s bossing around in “Phoebe Breaks a Leg,” leading the people-pleasing mathlete to take drastic measures just to get out from under Helga’s thumb – faking a broken leg! Her secret can’t last forever, of course. In this episode, we discuss where Helga and Phoebe’s relationship is before and after the incident! If you...

83A Bag of Money/83B Principal Simmons (with Drew Tenenbaum)

March 03, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 56.2 MB

Drew’s back and he’s carrying exactly $3,937 cash in a bag! (Or is it just a bunch of birdseed?) When Arnold, Gerald, and Sid find a bag filled with thousands of dollars in “Bag of Money”, it kicks off a nightmarish plot of distrust and cynicism among the friends. It’s one of the most infamous episodes of Hey Arnold!, up there with “Arnold Betrays Iggy” as an episode nobody really likes! Why’s that? Tune in! Mr. Wartz is OUT and Mr. Simmons is IN – as principal! – in “Principal Simmons”! When...

82A Gerald's Game/82B Fishing Trip

February 25, 2023 00:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MB

Gerald gets a little bit too into The King Rules, a card game, in “Gerald’s Game”. It becomes a bit of a point of shame, prompting Arnold to (you guessed it) intervene to get his friend back. How necessary was that? Why couldn’t two best friends just learn to play a game together? Listen in to find out! It’s a boys’ weekend in “Fishing Trip” when Arnold, Gerald, Sid, Harold, and Eugene get together with their fathers and Grandpa for some lakeside bonding. It’s a fun, flatulent episode of Hey ...

81A Sid the Vampire Slayer/81B Big Sis

February 17, 2023 00:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MB

Velcome back to Season 5 of Stoop Kidz! and Hey Arnold! Ze final season kicks off vith a vonderfully vacky tale of… mistaken identity. Is Stinky a creature of ze night just because he vears sunglasses, hates garlic, and looks forvard to ze blood drive? In “Sid the Vampire Slayer,” Sid certainly seems to think so! Can Arnold talk his beetle-booted buddy out of his delusion? The ever-charming Olga is back in “Big Sis,” only this time, she’s taken Lila under her wing. Helga barely has time to re...

Season 4 Recap: The Best Season Yet?

January 21, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 51 MB

Helga on the Couch. Monkeyman. Principal Wartz. Mr. Hyunh's "very creepy" laugh. Stinky, Harold, and Sid’s buttcheeks. Summer Love. In this special season-ender, we reminisce on all the highs, lows, memories, and things we wish we could forget from Season 4! Thanks for sticking around with the Kidz! Get ready for Season 5… soon!

80 Summer Love

January 14, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.5 MB

Arnold and Helga end up at the same beach resort for what’s supposed to be a relaxing summertime getaway. But before Helga can put Operation Be Nice to Arnold into action, Summer (the girl) comes calling for Arnold, threatening to ruin Helga’s whole summer (the season). Helga warns a smitten Arnold that the bombshell isn’t all that she seems, but given their contentious relationship, Arnold isn’t quite ready to believe Helga. Some episodes of Hey Arnold! feel cursed – like despite top-tier wr...

79 Dino Checks Out

January 07, 2023 00:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

“Here lies Dino Spumoni,” lies a lying tombstone for the low-rent Sinatra himself! Hoping to see a postmortem popularity bump, Dino Spumoni fakes his death and moves back to Sunset Arms, where he grew up. The spoof works arguably too well, and in typical Hey Arnold! fashion, Dino gets exactly what he wants in the exact way he doesn’t want it: Impersonators fill the Dino-shaped hole, leaving Dino second-guessing his simulated suicide. If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and l...

78 Helga on the Couch (with Charlie Mackin)

December 31, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB

Charlie Mackin stops by to discuss one of the most important episodes of Hey Arnold! and a classic in its own right! “Helga on the Couch” is remembered as an episode that changed everything for Helga. An outburst like any other turns into school-mandated therapy sessions with Dr. Bliss, a child psychologist assigned to PS 118. On the couch (and in the chair and behind the dart board and pacing the room), Helga comes to terms (almost accidentally) with the love she feels for Arnold, tying it d...

77A Helga's Masquerade/77B Mr. Green Runs (with Hannah Borenstein)

December 24, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 48.6 MB

Hannah Borenstein is back to tackle two more classic eps with the Kidz! Helga’s ruse goes awry in “Helga’s Masquerade” when she mimics Lila to earn Arnold’s affection, only to earn it for the wrong reasons. Local politics have kept necessary road repairs at bay for too long, so Mr. Green seeks a seat on the Hillwood City Council in “Mr. Green Runs.” It’s an episode that highlights the types of people who become powerful at a local level, being a self-styled voice of the people, and what it me...

76A Grandpa's Sister/76B Synchronized Swimming

December 17, 2022 00:00 - 54 minutes - 38 MB

Grandpa Phil and his twin sister, Mitzi, don’t get along. Like, at all. With beef that goes back decades, can Arnold insert himself as mediator before the fraternal feud boils over into disaster in “Grandpa’s Sister”? In “Synchronized Swimming,” Coach Wittenberg wants to show Arnold, Gerald, Harold, Stinky, and Stinky that synchronized swimming isn’t just for girls. (And save his job.) In the process, he gives them a place to express themselves and their emotions through water-based dance. If...

75A Monkeyman!/75B Buses, Bikes, and Subways (with Seth Zarate)

December 10, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.6 MB

Our own superhero Seth Zarate (https://twitter.com/snzarate) is back to assist the weak and downtrodden with another guest appearance! It wouldn’t be another day in Hillwood without another vigilante realizing he doesn’t fit in with “normal” society! In “Monkeyman!,” Monkeyman gets a taste of everyday life with Arnold’s help – but the simian superhero finds it hard to let go of his apelike adventurousness. In “Buses, Bikes, and Subways,” Helga and Harold have to find a way back to town after ...

74A Helga Sleepwalks/74B Fighting Families

December 03, 2022 00:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

In “Helga Sleepwalks,” a poor choice (eating only pork rinds for days on end) has bad consequences for Helga – namely, her somnambulant confessions of love for Arnold! It’s one of the first episodes where she really starts to recognize how holding in her feelings is affecting her. In “Fighting Families,” Arnold, Grandpa, Grandma, and a couple of the boarders make a game show appearance and they don’t compare favorably to the prim and proper nuclear family on the other team. This being Hey Arn...

73A Weird Cousin/73B Baby Oskar with Dan Nagan

November 18, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 50.9 MB

Welcome Dan Nagan of Everything We Learned (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) back to the stoop! Arnie, Arnold’s country bumpkin cousin, is a bit of a chad. Such is Arnold’s plight in “Weird Cousin,” which has big ENEMY (2013) vibes. In “Baby Oskar,” there’s a baby named Oskar and Oskar Kokoshka, who is not a baby but often acts like one, has to take care of the baby named Oskar. Hope that’s clear enough for ya. Can Adult Man Oskar overcome his immaturity and dependence long enough to care f...

72A Back to School/72B Egg Story (with Dylan Guerber)

November 11, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MB

New kid Dylan Guerber shows up on time for his first episode of Stoop Kidz! Grandpa never finished grade school, so the ever-helpful Arnold brings him to PS 118 for some remedial education in “Back to School”. In “Egg Story,” Arnold goes on the defensive before Helga can lay into him during a class project, unaware she was going to give the whole ‘being nice’ thing a try. Follow Dylan on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/quiverwingquack/ If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our s...

71 Veterans Day

November 05, 2022 00:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MB

In this special half-hour episode of Hey Arnold!, Grandpa recounts his time in World War II, Gerald’s dad Martin remembers Vietnam, and Hitler gets a wedgie. It’s… a weird episode.

70A Grudge Match/70B Polishing Rhonda

October 29, 2022 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MB

Grandpa has until Sunday to train for a game of golf against Big Bob, and the loser’s on the hook for damages after their contentious fender bender. With a big bill on the line, can Arnold whip Grandpa into golfing shape before tee time in “Grudge Match”? Big Patty and Rhonda get some facetime in “Polishing Rhonda,” where the young socialite risks getting kicked out of finishing school for her self-centeredness. And who should she run into at that same finishing school than humble brute – and...

69A It Girl/69B Deconstructing Arnold

October 22, 2022 00:00 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MB

Fashion designer Johnny Stitches discovers Helga’s hidden talent for the runway and makes her the new “It Girl”. The more she leans into her prickly persona, the more the crowd loves it. But she’s not a fan of having her ‘natural’ meanness, nastiness, and insensitivity co-opted by everyone in town, so she starts looking for an out. Arnold is separated from his own essential self (a nosy, do-gooder fount of advice) in “Deconstructing Arnold,” when his friends implore him to stop being such a k...

68A Love and Cheese/68B Weighing Harold (with Drew Tenenbaum)​​

October 14, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 43 MB

Drew "Not a Himbo" Tenenbaum returns to Stoop Kidz! Helga seeks to ruin Arnold and Lila’s time at the Cheese Festival in “Love and Cheese,” a sort of slant-sequel to “Operation Ruthless.” Then Harold’s size is suddenly the talk of the town in “Weighing Harold,” in which he gains weight on a trip where he was trying to lose it. Follow Drew on Twitter at https://twitter.com/AshCoolBro Play Drew’s indie games at https://drewbys-games.itch.io/ Buy Décorum, the tabletop game Drew and Harry and Cha...

67A Helga's Parrot/67B Chocolate Turtles

October 07, 2022 00:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MB

It’s a weird pair of episodes on this edition of Stoop Kidz! Helga’s pet parrot might squawk her deepest secrets in “Helga’s Parrot,” leading her on a wild bird chase across Hillwood that ends in the most natural, traumatizing way possible. As ‘future Chocolate Lads,’ Arnold and Gerald make money hand over fist to raise money for a go-kart in “Chocolate Turtles,” only to find themselves on the losing end of their own capitalist charade. If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show an...

66A Headless Cabbie/66B Friday the 13th (with Dan Nagan)

September 30, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 46.6 MB

Dan Nagan (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) is lurking in the background, ready to getcha when you least expect it! The kids of Hillwood start to wonder if a local myth is real as the coincidences pile up in “Headless Cabbie”. If you haven’t seen it, imagine the Hash-Slinging Slasher from SpongeBob. In “Friday the 13th,” Arnold and Gerald investigate another string of coincidences that seem just too perfect to be real… Find Dan and listen to his movie podcast, Everything We Learned, at the ...

65A The Beeper Queen/65B Oskar Can't Read? (with Allegra Frank)

September 24, 2022 00:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MB

Class is in session and Slate editor Allegra Frank is taking her seat! In “The Beeper Queen,” we get to see Helga’s relationship with her mom in a new light when Miriam takes over for Big Bob at the beeper store before the business gets the better of them both. Then in “Oskar Can’t Read?”, reading isn’t the only thing Mr. Kokoshka learns – he also learns some self-reliance! We also share our stories of finding our way in places where we can’t read the language. Find Allegra at the following l...

64A Big Gino/64B Jamie O in Love (with Niky Horowitz)

September 16, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 41.9 MB

Niky Horowitz comes back for a Season 4 debut! Sid has to choose between Arnold and a shady-but-friendly mob boss in “Big Gino.” In “Jamie O in Love,” Gerald’s older brother drops the antagonistic act when he falls for a girl, but it turns out her interest isn’t genuine, leaving Gerald to decide if he should let the phony tryst go forward. Listen to Niky’s music at https://horowizard.bandcamp.com/releases Also, tell a friend about Stoop Kidz! and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts! Tell them...

63A Full Moon/63B Student Teacher

September 09, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 41.8 MB

When Sid, Harold, and Stinky are accused (correctly) of mooning Principal Wartz in “Full Moon,” Arnold could get a permanent mark on his record for keeping his trap shut. “Student Teacher” sees the return – and weird, unceremonious departure – of Helga’s least favorite sister-turned-sub.

62A Dinner for Four/62B Phoebe Skips

September 03, 2022 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MB

Helga’s scheme to impress her friends by taking them out for some fine dining goes wrong when she runs up a bill at the wrong restaurant in “Dinner for Four”. Luckily, her beloved Football Head is there to steer her out of the moral quandary – even if it means a night of washing dishes to pay it all back. Helga and Phoebe rediscover just how inseparable they are when the brainiac decides to advance to the sixth grade in “Phoebe Skips”: Helga is left sidekick-less, Phoebe is adrift without Hel...

61A Eugene's Birthday/61B Stinky's Pumpkin

August 27, 2022 00:00 - 48 minutes - 33.9 MB

Birthdays, pumpkins, jinxes, and prophetic dreams galore help us kick off Season 4! Thanks for tuning in. We’re in for a wild ride this season! In this discussion, we cover the ongoing role-trading Eugene and Arnold do as ‘the jinx’ and how Arnold’s best intentions always seem to backfire with his fallible friend. We also turn to the pride of Stinky Farms and what Stinky learns about hard times, hard work, and a hard-won sense of self. In the meantime, tell a friend about our show and leave u...

The Sound of 1998: Reviewing "Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 1" (with Seth Zarate)

July 09, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 76 MB

Hopefully this season of Stoop Kidz! has helped you get into the 1998 mood! To get us the rest of the way there, we’re taking an episode to reminisce about one of the heavy-hitting tastemakers of the compact disc-based, pre-streaming age: Now That’s What I Call Music! The first U.S. volume of Now came out the same year as season 3 of Hey Arnold!, so we invited friend of the show and pop music fan Seth to go track-by-track through the sound of 1998. We recall memories associated with these so...

Season 3 Recap: Don’t You Forget About Giuseppe

July 02, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

Also, Cody gets to thirst over Lorenzo’s mom a little more and we all remember everyone’s favorite flirtatious, pizza-...
