57A Girl Trouble/57B School Dance (with Seth Zarate)

June 02, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB

At long last, Seth (https://twitter.com/snzarate) is back on the stoop! Arnold and Helga dance around their complicated relationship yet again in “Girl Trouble,” where Helga’s thinly veiled love for the football headed kid comes to a head during a group project in history class. Helga’s ribbing pushes Arnold to his breaking point, earning him detention and some much-needed humility, as Grandpa parallels their tumultuous relationship with one he had with a young girl named Gertie back in the d...

56 Arnold's Thanksgiving (with Jason Dafnis)

May 28, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB

We’re thankful, all right – for Hey Arnold!, for our listeners, and for superproducer Jason Dafnis (https://twitter.com/nintendufus), who’s stepping out from behind the soundboard to celebrate Thanksgiving in May with the rest of the Stoop Kidz! Hey Arnold! kind of has its knives out for Turkey Day. At Sunset Arms, the boarders all go along with Grandma’s delusion that it’s actually the Fourth of July, and Arnold doesn’t love that it doesn’t look like a traditional Thanksgiving. At the Pataki...

55A Arnold & Lila/55B Grand Prix (with Niky Horowitz)

May 21, 2022 00:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MB

Niky Horowitz is back on the stoop! Helga, queen apparent of leaving the right messages in the wrong places, confesses her love for Football Head on an alleyway wall in “Arnold & Lila” only to change it to “Arnold Loves Lila” a hurried scrawl before anyone can see. When Lila gets wind of the supposed back-alley confession, Arnold himself is left wondering if there’s some truth to the writing on the wall. There’s strength in numbers in “Grand Prix,” where the kids form an unlikely alliance to...

54A Grandpa's Birthday/54B Road Trip (with Drew Tenenbaum)

May 13, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MB

Drew is back on the stoop to shoot the breeze about more Hey Arnold! Grandpa’s convinced his 81st birthday will be his last in “Grandpa’s Birthday,” despite being told by the doctor that he’s so healthy he could live another lifetime. Seriously, medical science can’t explain how healthy he is for his age. All the same, Arnold treats every minute with Grandpa like it’s his last… even though he knows it isn’t. Helga and Miriam hit the road in “Road Trip” and quickly fall into a spiraling series...

53A Sid's Revenge/53B Roller Coaster (with Dan Nagan)

May 07, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MB

Dan Nagan of Everything We Learned makes Stoop Kidz! history as the first guest to join for an episode in all three seasons! “Sid’s Revenge” is a downright psychological horror episode: Sid carves an effigy of Principal Wartz to get back at him for detention, but is SHOOK when the principal ends up in the hospital. Assuming he’s killed his principal, Sid descends into anxious, sleepless nights. Can his friend Arnold save him from his own paranoia? In “Roller Coaster,” Eugene “The Jinx” is sti...

Episode 52A Best Man/52B Cool Party (with Wayne Stainrook)

April 30, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MB

It’s been two seasons and more than 40 episodes since Wayne Stainrook joined the Kidz, but he’s back for a stoop encore (https://twitter.com/stainwaynerook)! Arnold finds himself between rocks and hard places in this double (football) header: First, he’s compelled to help coach Coach Wittenberg through his marital struggles and ends up sharing a bit of sage fourth-grader advice in “Best Man”; in “Cool Party,” he’s happy to join Rhonda’s bash – until he realizes why not everyone was invited. ...

52A Best Man/52B Cool Party (with Wayne Stainrook)

April 28, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MB

It’s been two seasons and more than 40 episodes since Wayne Stainrook joined the Kidz, but he’s back for a stoop encore (https://twitter.com/stainwaynerook)! Arnold finds himself between rocks and hard places in this double (football) header: First, he’s compelled to help coach Coach Wittenberg through his marital struggles and ends up sharing a bit of sage fourth-grader advice in “Best Man”; in “Cool Party,” he’s happy to join Rhonda’s bash – until he realizes why not everyone was invited.

51A Phoebe Takes the Fall (with Erica Csuy)/51B The Pig War (with Ellie DeMuth)

April 21, 2022 00:00 - 51 minutes - 35.8 MB

Featuring special guests (and Emily’s cousins) Erica Csuy and Ellie DeMuth! To get one over on Olga (and maybe earn Big Bob’s affection), Helga risks her friendship with Phoebe by asking her to throw a school contest in “Phoebe Takes the Fall”. In “The Pig War,” the students are treated to a bit of local history when Grandpa signs them up – along with Arnold’s pet pig, Abner – to participate in a reenactment of a British-American conflict. What Grandpa forgot to tell them was that the winner ...

50A Casa Paradiso/50B Gerald's Tonsils (with Hannah Borenstein)

April 16, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

PhD Candidate and writer Hannah Borenstein (https://twitter.com/hborenstein23) stops by the stoop to talk about two classically nuanced, more-mature-than-they-seem episodes of Hey Arnold! The boarders at Sunset Arms rally to convince Grandpa he shouldn’t sell their home and move to a tropical resort in “Casa Paradiso,” an exemplary Hey Arnold! episode about how communities are made and broken. (It also shows up in Hannah’s recent article for Slate – check out the link below!) “Gerald’s Tonsil...

49A Career Day/49B Hey Harold!

April 09, 2022 00:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MB

“Career Day” again exposes the kids of PS 118 to the working class of Hillwood, but The Jolly Olly Man isn’t so jolly to be working for his profiteering dad. While the other kids fight fires, jiu jitsu criminals, and demolish buildings, Arnold helps the Jolly Olly Man smooth over some rough edges to make the best of a job he doesn’t love so he can get back at his dad. Yeah, it’s got some muddled messaging – and we talk all about it! “Hey Harold!” cooks up an unlikely romance between Harold an...

48A Arnold's Room/48B Helga vs. Big Patty (with Drew Tenenbaum)

April 01, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 48.2 MB

With returning guest Drew Tenenbaum (https://twitter.com/AshCoolBro), the Kidz talk about two episodes that focus on social performance and maintenance of appearances! When Sid and Lorenzo become study buddies in “Arnold’s Room,” the class division between the kids of PS 118 comes to a minor head. Lorenzo’s house is decked out, while Sid is ashamed of his meager digs. So Sid cons Arnold into letting him pretend Arnold’s cool “urban post-industrial rebop batcave” is actually his own bedroom – ...

47A Dangerous Lumber/47B Mr. Hyunh Goes Country (with O'Dell Harmon, Jr.)

March 26, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MB

Writer, podcaster, gamer, and all-around fan of ‘90s stuff O’Dell Harmon, Jr. (https://twitter.com/ODellHarmonJr) joins the Kidz to chat about two of his favorite Hey Arnold! episodes! Arnold comes to grips with his true strength in “Dangerous Lumber” and thinks he has to decide between the love of the game and the safety of his team. But some sound advice from retired Hillwood Black Sox player (and current stadium janitor) Mickey Kaline brings Arnold back around. In “Mr. Hyunh Goes Country,"...

46A Arnold Betrays Iggy/46B Helga and the Nanny (with Charlie Mackin)

March 19, 2022 00:00 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MB

Charlie Mackin (https://twitter.com/charliemander13) is “Really Back In” for another episode of Stoop Kidz! We're about to make a statement that may SHOCK long-time listeners: as it turns out, Hey Arnold! is a good television show. We like it an awful lot. Therefore, most of these episodes are… enthusiastic, to say the least. Sometimes, we even joke about it: "is it fun listening to us gush week after week?" We say, "I wonder what it would be like if we DIDN'T like every episode?!" Then Arnol...

45A Helga Blabs It All/45B Harold the Butcher

March 12, 2022 00:00 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MB

Helga’s in a race against time (and herself) in “Helga Blabs It All’ when, zooted on laughing gas from getting a filling, she confesses her love for Football Head on the answering machine at Sunset Arms! Then, in “Harold the Butcher,” Harold is forced to work at Mr. Green’s butcher shop for trying to steal from it – and unexpectedly discovers a new passion. Wanna see more Hey Arnold! stuff? How about some fun, goofy posts? Follow us on https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and www.instagram.com/st...

44A Crabby Author/44B Rich Kid

March 04, 2022 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB

WARNING: the episode you are about to listen to was recorded in the absence of super producer Jason, and when the cat is away… the stoop kidz must play. And, as if on cue, two episodes appeared that seem tailor-made to get us a little unhinged. First, we litigate Hey Arnold's take on "don't meet your heroes" (It's ok if you're Arnold) in a discussion on how Arnold so frequently manages to avoid didacticism despite its obvious moral bent and how this one falls short. Then, we (poorly) try to c...

43A Stinky Goes Hollywood/43B Olga Gets Engaged

February 24, 2022 00:00 - 51 minutes - 35.1 MB

“Yahoo Soda® – Just Drink It!™” In “Stinky Goes Hollywood,” everyone’s favorite hillbilly discovers the dark side of fame when he finds out his big break as Yahoo Soda spokeskid came at the cost of his dignity. Despite it all, Stinky has no trouble staying true to himself, giving up a million-dollar TV contract to find the self-respect that’s worth much more. “Olga Gets Engaged” starts out like a typical ‘Helga’s jealous’ setup: the too-perfect Doug LeSham asks for Olga���s hand in marriage, ...

42A Curly Snaps/42B Pre-Teen Scream

February 17, 2022 00:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MB

Thaddeus Gammelthorpe – also known as Curly, “a real bon vivant” – finally gets his turn as ball monitor on the playground at PS 118… but is unjustly denied his rightful title the day of his coronation! In retaliation, Curly stages a grand brouhaha in Principal Wartz’s office in “Curly Snaps,” occupying it with a horde of dodgeballs until Mr. Simmons gives in to Curly’s demands. It’s a really fun, referential episode that also inspired Harry’s choice of Twitter avatar! Phoebe is a big fan of ...

41A The Aptitude Test/41B Oskar Gets a Job

February 12, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MB

WE’RE BACK with a rousing episode to kick off Season 3 of Hey Arnold! In “The Aptitude Test,” the kids of PS 118 get a glimpse into their possible career paths – and Harold and Helga are stunned at the results. The episode questions the true value of prescriptive standardized testing while pointing out the innate flaws of the American public schooling system – plus, we talk about what WE got on our aptitude tests in elementary school. “Oskar Gets a Job” is a somewhat muddier episode. After fi...

Season 3 Starts Feb. 10!

January 22, 2022 00:00 - 1 minute - 1.39 MB

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT’S ALREADY SEASON 3??? Thank you so much for staying tuned (or tuning in for the first time!).

January 14, 2022 00:00 - 48 minutes - 33.8 MB

Test your Hey Arnold! knowledge in this special episode! Trivia master Cody tests Emily, Harry, and Jason on all sorts of factoids covering the first couple seasons and more. Just a bit of extra fun before we start Season 3. Enjoy and good luck, bold kids!

For even more of our takes on the adventures of PS118, follow us on https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and ww...

Season 2 Recap: The Best Urban Legends, One-Offs, Surprises & More

January 09, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MB

Thank you for listening to another season of Stoop Kidz! It’s a new year, and that means it’s time to clean out the (tastefully wallpapered) attic on Season 2. Join us as we look back at the highs and lows that defined Hey Arnold!’s sophomore season: everything that complicated Arnold and Helga’s relationship, all the setups that showed us new sides of our favorite places and characters, and the stuff that just won’t leave our football-shaped heads. Keep an eye on our podcast feed, Twitter, a...

40 Arnold’s Halloween (with Dan Nagan)

January 01, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

Dan Nagan of Everything We Learned returns to help us close the last Hey Arnold! episode of season 2 with a SPOOKY bang! Arnold, Gerald, and Helga launch plans to scare the pants off the adults on Halloween by staging separate fake alien invasions. But when their plans accidentally merge, the town runs away with the idea that they really ARE being invaded. It’s reminiscent of Orson Welles’ 1938 The War of the Worlds broadcast, SIGNS (2002), and more mass hysteria classics – but at the same ti...

39A Eugene Goes Bad/39B What's Opera, Arnold? (with Niky Horowitz)

December 25, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

We’re thrilled to be joined by special guest Niky Horowitz! Niky watched a bunch of Nickelodeon with their grandma in the ‘90s as a kid and, like most of us, feels connected to another place and time by watching Hey Arnold! today. Once the naive, principled punching bag, Eugene discovers his own influence by accident when his hero, Arnie-like action star The Abdicator, turns out to be a phony in “Eugene Goes Bad”. Eugene lets his disappointment and disillusionment turn him into the cool, aloo...

38A Eating Contest/38B Rhonda's Glasses

December 18, 2021 00:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MB

Arnold finds his family’s legacy a little hard to swallow in “Eating Contest,” where he has to deal with Grandpa’s expectations behind him and reigning champ Seymour (aka “The Disposal”) in front of him. We also discuss Cody’s near-win at a chicken wing eating challenge and plan to raise his grandchild as his protégé to finally claim the prize. Spoiled, image-conscious Rhonda Wellington Lloyd finds herself among the outcasts when she gets some new headwear in “Rhonda’s Glasses,” but her embar...

37A Steely Phil/37B Quantity Time

December 11, 2021 00:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

Grandpa is haunted by his own 40-year legacy as “Steely Phil,” the best Chinese checkers player in the city undone by his own drive to win, until Robby Fisher goads him back for one last match. What’s really great is we get to learn a lot more about Grandpa and the city along the way. In “Quantity Time,” Helga and Big Bob struggle to relate to each other when Miriam takes a few days off. They don’t really get along – Big Bob is too out of touch with his daughter and Helga doesn’t have the pat...

36A Helga's Love Potion/36B Gerald's Secret

December 05, 2021 00:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MB

Helga tries a little too hard to reclaim her “misspent youth” by falling out of love with Arnold in “Helga’s Love Potion.” It’s not an easy break, though, and before long, she finds that her “orzo-shaped Prometheus” is actually the source of all of her deepest feelings – not just the pangs of unrequited love. In “Gerald’s Secret,” Arnold helps his best friend overcome a childhood fear of biking – but is he ready to learn? Whether you're a part of the gang or this is your first time on the sto...

35A Freeze Frame/35B Phoebe Cheats

November 27, 2021 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36 MB

In “Freeze Frame,” an homage to horror/thriller director Brian De Palma, Arnold and Gerald use their video camera to solve The Mystery of Porkpie and the Envelope in the Tree – which, of course, doesn’t exist – before a man meets his ignominious end. It’s a really fun episode about how kids use technology to understand their world and themselves! Then, exemplary student Phoebe Heyerdahl does the unthinkable in “Phoebe Cheats,” a star-studded episode that deals with the pressure of perfection,...

34A Mudbowl/34B Gerald Moves Out

November 19, 2021 00:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MB

Football head becomes footballER in “Mudbowl,” kicking off a dramatic fourth-versus-fifth grade feud. Seeing the kids playing full-contact sports is a joy in itself, and it’s easy to get caught up in the rivalry with characters like Torvald and Wolfgang on board. You’ll never guess what happens in “Gerald Moves Out” – but we all feel a little weird about how the episode wraps up. At least it’s a great Grandpa episode! He’s such a wily old coot. Whether you're a part of the gang or this is you...

33A Longest Monday/33B Eugene’s Pet

November 14, 2021 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MB

It’s Trash Can Day – the most diabolical day ever invented – in “Longest Monday,” an annual tradition of tossing the powerless into garbage cans for sport. But are the fourth graders really afraid of getting canned? Or are they afraid of cycles of violence they can’t break? Then “Eugene’s Pet” becomes Arnold’s Victim when the football head accidentally kills his friend’s goldfish. Can Arnold ever make it up to him? Or is Eugene’s lovable unluckiness bound to follow him forever? Whether you're...

32A The High Life/32B Best Friends

November 06, 2021 00:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MB

First, "The High Life" follows Gerald through the trials and tribulations of being the "star" salesman for a less-than-honest watchmaker. Then, we get a front row seat to the fallout of Nadine and Rhonda's latest fight in "Best Friends," as our favorite football head finds himself caught in friendship crossfire yet again. Whether you're a part of the gang or this is your first time on the stoop, we'd really appreciate it if you could leave us a review! For even more of our takes on the advent...

31A Monkey Business/31B Big Caesar

October 30, 2021 00:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

Monkeynucleosis might not really turn you into a monkey, but it DOES turn Helga an interesting shade of paranoid when she gets it. In discussing “Monkey Business,” we talk about how we see our own anxieties and insecurities reflected in Helga’s panic as well as how the episode adds an interesting wrinkle to her and Arnold’s relationship. Then, we go fishin’ for “Big Caesar” – season 2’s first urban legend episode – and reel in our own great fishing stories, talking points about childhood nos...

30A Ransom/30B Ms. Perfect

October 23, 2021 00:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

“Ransom” reintroduces us to Gerald’s little sister, Timberly, who just wants her fair share of sibling time with her older brother. In “Ms. Perfect,” Helga and the girls tear down Lila, the new girl, for being so well-liked – not realizing their vindictiveness is one of the reasons they’re not. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and https://www.instagram.com/stoopkidzpod/. All Stoop Kidz show art is c...

29A Save the Tree/29B New Teacher

October 16, 2021 00:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MB

Positions of authority threaten the kids’ safe spaces yet again in “Save the Tree.” It’s a great one, full of top-tier Big Bob, Grandma, Helga, Arnold, and everything but the kitchen sink (actually, that too!) and some of our favorite writing of the show so far. Then, in “New Teacher,” the students of PS 118 realize too late how good they had it when they band together to reject an empathetic Mr. Simmons. We also talk about poem nerdery, LGBTQ+ representation, and episodes that empower kids t...

28A Arnold Saves Sid/28B Hookey

October 09, 2021 00:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB

In “Arnold Saves Sid,” we see a new sycophantic side of Sid when he dotes on Arnold as repayment for saving his life – kinda. In “Hookey,” Arnold and Gerald skip school to play hookey (no, not hockey! HOOKEY!) only to find themselves caged by their own fear of being caught. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and https://www.instagram.com/stoopkidzpod/. All Stoop Kidz show art is created by our own Emi...

27A The Big Scoop/27B Harold's Kitty

October 02, 2021 00:00 - 43 minutes - 30.3 MB

Welcome to Season 2 of Stoop Kidz! Season 2 of Hey Arnold! kicks off with a one-two punch. Helga stretches the truth a little too far for stories in the school newspaper, and Arnold and Gerald are tempted by the idea of going low to stop her. Harold’s Kitty – a truly “pawesome” episode – is surprisingly sad, showing Harold’s softer side when he fosters a lost cat and isn’t quite ready to give him up. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us a...

Season 2 Starts Sept. 30!

September 19, 2021 00:00 - 1 minute - 1.25 MB

Welcome, new Kidz and longtime listeners alike! We’ve been bowled over by the response to our interview with Craig Bartlett, and we wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening and for all the wonderful feedback! Be sure to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts if you loved it. We’re taking a quick reset before starting Season 2 of Hey Arnold!, so keep an eye out on September 30 for the first episode. In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and https://www.ins...

An Interview with Craig Bartlett, Author of Hey Arnold!

September 11, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB

Note: Unlike our regular episodes, this episode is un-bleeped! On this very, very special episode of Stoop Kidz!, the kidz interview Craig Bartlett himself, animator extraordinaire and author of Hey Arnold! In this packed discussion, we dig into Craig’s storied career, unpack the pseudo-autobiographical origins of Arnold and his friends, chat about what the show means to an entire generation, and hear how the man himself feels knowing his labor of love was and continues to be such an indispen...

Clay Arnold!: The Claymation Shorts Where Arnold Was Born

September 03, 2021 00:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

The Kidz go back – WAY back – to the origins of Hey Arnold! in this special episode of Stoop Kidz! No, not the pilot episode. Even further back to the three stop-motion shorts Craig Bartlett used to pitch the show that became Hey Arnold! These vignettes aren’t long (just a few minutes each), but they’re a little slice of the distinct vibe Hey Arnold! would become known for, as well as the creativity of its showrunners and a fun introduction to the title character. Watch all three claymation s...

Season 1 Recap: Our Favorite Episodes, Characters, Surprises & More

August 26, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

And that’s a wrap on the historic first season of Hey Arnold! We’re really jazzed about the reception to our podcast so far, and we’ve got HUGE things planned, so we wanted to put a cap on a season of watching and talking with a list of our favorite parts of Hey Arnold! and of our own show! In this recap episode, we rank our favorite Hey Arnold! episodes, our favorite one-off characters, our favorite episodes of Stoop Kidz!, and more! Sit back, reminisce, and look forward to another season of...

26A Runaway Float/26B Partners

August 20, 2021 00:00 - 40 minutes - 28.6 MB

This week, the Kidz discuss a true classic in "Runaway Float," a thrilling episode that demonstrates Arnold's creativity, the power of community, and – of course – the evils of the commercialization of art. In Part 2, the great Dino Spumoni returns to his roots (in more ways than one) in "Partners," and the gang discusses their complementary strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter...

25 Arnold's Valentine

August 13, 2021 00:00 - 32 minutes - 23.1 MB

Whether you’re listening on Feb. 14 or anytime, Episode 25 of Hey Arnold! is one to remember for a lot of good reasons! In “Arnold’s Valentine,” Arnold’s titular Valentine isn’t who she seems – and his longtime crush isn’t who he thought she was. In this smooch-tastic episode of Stoop Kidz!, we discuss the weird, double-long pacing of episode 25, how the plotline complicates Arnold and Helga’s relationship, its surprisingly somber tone, and the fact that Arnold is confirmed as a himbo by the ...

24A Tour de Pond/24B Teachers' Strike

August 04, 2021 00:00 - 40 minutes - 28.6 MB

“Tour de Pond” pits Arnold and Gerald against Rex Smythe-Higgins III – and seven decades of bad blood – in a boat race where there’s more than a first-place trophy on the line. “Teachers’ Strike” unfortunately turns the kids of PS 118 into scabs after the teaching staff leverages collective action against Principal Wartz’s abusive budget cuts. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and https://www.instagr...

23A Coach Wittenberg/23B Four-eyed Jack

July 29, 2021 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.4 MB

Everyone's favorite(?!) coach returns for "Coach Wittenberg," just in time for "Arnie" to teach him – and us! – the role of "psychocoholgy" in coaching and the real value of being part of a team. After the game, we head back to the boarding house to hear the harrowing tale of "Four-eyed Jack," get to know the house's colorful residents a little better, and even gain a little more insight into Grandpa's unorthodox but heartwarming parenting style. If you love the show, we’d love for you to lea...

22A Hall Monitor/22B Harold's Bar Mitzvah (feat. Drew Tenenbaum)

July 22, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MB

Featuring special guest Drew Tenenbaum (https://twitter.com/AshCoolBro)! In “Hall Monitor,” Phoebe learns how to be a COP from Helga, and we wonder what it says about the school that everyone in PS 118 wants to be a hall monitor. “Harold’s Bar Mitzvah” introduces religion as a significant part of the Hey Arnold! plot for the first time, telling a story of a boy who doesn’t realize he’s ready to be a man. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with ...

Special Episode! ASTROLOGY: Zodiac Signs as Hey Arnold! Characters

July 16, 2021 00:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MB

In this special episode, we get to know our favorite Hey Arnold! characters a little better by guessing their zodiac signs and comparing them to our own. Emily’s a Sagittarius, but what about Pigeon Man? Which characters seem to share the same sun sign? What on Earth is Arnold’s moon sign? Find out in this fun, offbeat episode! If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https://twitter.com/stoopkidzpod and https://www.instagram.com/stoopkidz...

21A Helga's Boyfriend/21B Crush on Teacher

July 10, 2021 00:00 - 49 minutes - 34.7 MB

It’s not easy to make Arnold jealous, but Helga tries her hardest with some arm candy in “Helga’s Boyfriend,” and we talk about how her own jealousy undercuts the tenderness of youthful romance with a sharp cynicism. “Crush on Teacher” is BIG CRINGE, but Arnold’s catastrophic misread of his teacher’s friendly disposition is a great excuse for us to talk about some of our own teacher crushes. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review! In the meantime, keep up with us at https:/...

20 Arnold's Christmas (feat. Charlie Mackin)

July 02, 2021 00:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MB
