INTRO SEQUENCE:

KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PODCASTS STING

INTRO THEME

THEME MUSIC continues in background

 

DEVON

Hello everybody, it’s me, Devon,…

 

CAP

…Chicka Me, Cap,…

 

CHET

…Chicka And me, Chicka Chet.

 

DEVON

Unfortunately, this is not a full episode. We’re mostly just here to say you’ll have to wait a little longer for the next episode.

 

CHET+CAP

Chicka Ugh.

 

DEVON

The thing is the episode we gave you the riddle for is going to be part of a 3-part series—which includes an interview—so there’s that… and homework…

 

CHET

Chicka Just hurry it up, Chicka already!

 

DEVON

Excuse me, are you the one writing the scripts?

 

CHET

Chicka No…

 

DEVON

Making the cover art?

 

CHET

Chicka No…

 

DEVON

Editing the recordings? Making the memory quizzes? The show notes? The webpages? I could go on.

 

CHET

(Defeated tone)

Chicka No.

 

DEVON

Okay then. As another thing that took up time, we revamped the podcast cover for the show to look less simplistic and more accurate.

 

CAP

Chicka Wait a second… CHICKA YOU GOT RID OF CHICKA US!

 

BUM, BUM, BUMMM!

 

DEVON

Sorry, guys, it just makes more sense for the cover art to be a bunch of different species of animals! If it’s just you two, it looks like it’s just about chickadees!

 

CAP

Chicka But it is just about Chicka chickadees!

 

DEVON

I just walked right into that one, didn’t I?

 

CHET

Chicka Yup.

 

DEVON

Okay, we’re getting off-track. Because April first is coming up, the miniseries is being postponed so the next episode can be the (reverb) Kingdom: Animalia April Fools 2024 special episode. (normal) That means there will be 5 unbelievable animals…

 

FIVE DINGS

 

DEVON (CONT’D)

…one I just made up…

 

WRONG BUZZER

 

DEVON (CONT’D)

…and you’ll have to guess which is which.

 

MYSTERY DETECTIVE STING

 

DEVON

But while you wait, we have a little something for you to pass the time. Enjoy.

 

SNAP

MUSIC fades out

CROWD

(Quiets)

 

CHET

Chicka So last week I was flying over the ocean when Chicka I came across two Chicka cetaceans (cetaceans are whales, porpoises, and Chicka dolphins). Chicka Turns out they were playing hide-and-(Chicka)seek. Chicka After a while, when the Chicka seeker still couldn’t find the Chicka other, they started crying. Chicka I felt so bad for Chicka them! Chicka They had just lost their Chicka porpoise in life!

 

CROWD

(Laughs)

 

RIMSHOT

 

CHET

Chicka Thank you. Chicka My porpoise is to Chicka please!

 

CROWD

(Laughs harder)

 

RIMSHOT

 

CHET

Chicka Yeah, they should Chicka probably see a therapist. Chicka Let’s continue. Chicka So while I was flying Chicka over the water, I also saw this Chicka flock of geese migrating, Chicka okay? Chicka So—Chicka for the record, I wasn’t eavesdropping or Chicka anything…

 

CROWD

(Laughs quietly)

 

CHET

…Chicka So while I was’t eavesdropping, Chicka I heard these two geese Chicka talking. Chicka One was saying how sad they Chicka were that they had to leave their Chicka home.

 

CROWD

(Aww)

 

CHET

Chicka I know, it was terrible. Chicka Things were really going Chicka south.

 

CROWD

(Laughs)

 

RIMSHOT

 

CHET

Chicka Okay. Chicka Last one. Chicka So this question’s been rattling Chicka around in my brain for a while and I Chicka finally got to Chicka Googling it. Chicka Has that ever happened Chicka to you? Chicka Where you had a question you really wanted answered, Chicka but never got to Chicka looking--Chicka nevermind. Chicka So here’s the question: Chicka How do slugs communicate Chicka over long distances? Chicka Turns out, Chicka they use Chicka snail mail!

 

CROWD

(Laughs)

 

RIMSHOT
