Stoop Kidz!: A Hey Arnold! Podcast

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-known vice in “Chocolate Boy”!

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 that into him, and they’d look strange together, and you can’t really talk about attraction in a kids’ cartoon – but there might be a positive message to read in Ernie and Lola’s tryst, and we wanted to get to the heart of it!

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.

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. Can they put aside their differences or will they succumb to old man anger?

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 cartoonishness!

In “Sid and Germs”, the Beatle-booted boy develops a sudden germophobia on the cusp of Hillwood’s prestigious frog-catching contest. It’s an episode that puts Sid BACK in full paranoia mode, which isn’t his worst mode, tbh.

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 that they put between these episodes to fill airtime!

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!

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 the crochety principal finally caves to criticism, the genteel educator steps into his shoes, but he doesn’t really like what he finds. Yelling at kids all day long ain’t exactly easy, y’know.

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 Arnold! that ALMOST becomes a smart critique of masculine inability to communicate.

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 revel in her newfound distance from her sister before she develops a jealousy for Little Miss Perfect, threatening the already tenuous bond Helga feels for her older sister.
