About Mr. Jim:

Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

So if you have an idea for a story, I'd

and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. And parents,
if you're new to kids podcasting, I'm gonna challenge you

with your kids. It's going to increase their imagination, decrease

(00:44):
screen time, and we're gonna have a lot of fun
along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?
Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day when
Vana was making his very special magical purple honey. Yes,
Vano was a honeybee who learned a very secret recipe

(01:09):
that had been passed down from generation to generation all
the way to Vano, and he was amazing at making
this magical purple honey and he would share it with
all the creatures of the forest who when they ate it,
it was the most delicious thing that they had ever tasted.
All throughout the day, different creatures would come up to

(01:29):
Vano's honey stand and collect their daily purple honey. Across
the forest, there was a crab named Raffi, who is
just getting up for the day. Oh, point tonight. It's
gonna be a perfect day. Not just gonna put on
my claws here and then I can go get my
purple honey. You see, Raffi was a very interesting crab

(01:56):
who his claws he could take him on and off,
and you know, he would put them in their place
at home, but didn't have a very good memory and
he would often lose them all over the place. Well,
I think that is who might happen today. As Rafi
was heading over through the forest, Vano the Honeybee was

(02:19):
preparing his free purple honey store to open. All right,
there's so much that I need to do.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
First.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I gotta, you know, clean off the counter right here,
and then I need to turn on the open sign,
and I need to open up this door here and hah,
it's perfect. Oh, I need to go. I need to
take my purple honey out of the oven. Oh, I
hope it's not overdone. As Vano opened up the oven.
That is where he would cook his honey in this

(02:48):
very secret special way, and that's would turn it purple.
Oh perfect, it's Oh it smells delicious. This is a
perfect batch, said Vano. Is very precise about his work.
It had to follow a very specific set of instructions
in order for that honey to turn that magical purple color.

(03:10):
Have you ever seen honey turned purple before? I don't
think I have, but wow, that's pretty impressive, Vino. As
Vno turned around, there was a line all the way
down the forest of creatures that were waiting for their
delicious purple honey. Oh, here you go, everybody, here's yours,
here's yours, here's yours, said Vno as he was handing

(03:33):
out each individual package of the purple honey. Every animal
was so thankful. And finally there was Raffi. Oh yeah,
it's my turn. Hey Rony, how are you doing today?
Said Raffi. Oh, I'm doing great. I'm just I love
that I get to make all my purple honey for
all of you forest friends.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, here's yours.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Have a nice day. Okay, well say later, Vno.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
As Raffi took off back for his home, he was
so thankful for this delicious purple honey. Well, the rest
of the day, Vano was finishing cleaning up his store
and passing out all the rest of that purple honey.
And it was time to close up for the day.
All right, Vano said, that was a really good day.

(04:24):
I can't wait for tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Ring ring ring.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Hello, this is Vano the Purple honeymaker. Hey Vano, it's
a RAFFI. Did I come by today then I get
some purple honey today? Vano thought for a second and said, yeah,
you came by earlier and I gave you some purple honey.
What seems to be the problem. Well, I I lost

(04:51):
my pinchers and my claws, and I was wondering if
maybe I was I don't know, I don't have a
very good memory, and I could you some help? Could
you help me find my claws? Yeah? Absolutely, Just come
on down to the shop and we'll start looking together. Donkey,
I see you there, said Raffi. Vna was a little confused.

(05:15):
Raffi had just been there a few hours ago and
it's like Raffi forgot that. Wow, he really doesn't have
a very good memory. Have you ever lost something before?
I know I have, And whenever I lose something, it's like, wait,
where did I put it? I have to think through
all the different things that I might have done that day,

(05:36):
and then I just retrace my steps. Have you ever
heard that term before? Retrace your steps? It means like,
imagine you're walking on a beach in the sand, and
you're you're leaving a trail behind, right yeah, all your
footprints are traced into the sand, and if you were
to stop and turn around, all your steps would he

(06:00):
mapped out perfectly in the beach, right yeah. And so
if you lost something on the beach, it'd be pretty
easy to find because you could just go backwards and
walk in all of your same steps back through the beach.
I think that is always the best trick whenever I
lose something, I just have to go back and think

(06:20):
through where I was ever since I had that thing
that I can't find. And that's exactly Raffi is gonna
need to do. As Vano stepped out his door, he
saw Raffi approaching. Hey, Raffi said, Vano, I'm so sorry
that that happened. Does that happen a lot for you? Well? Yeah,

(06:41):
you see, my cloths can sometimes get a little itchy,
and so I take him off to I don't know,
I don't know exactly why, but I do seem to
take him off a lot. And then I guess I
forgot to put him back on when I went home.
Oh my goodness. Well yeah, so after I I definitely
remember handing you some purple honey, and then I think

(07:03):
you went this way. Yeah, that makes sense. That's the
way that I always go home. Okay, great, well let's
start walking that way and then we'll see what we
can find. These two new friends started walking down this
trail and they started to see drippings of purple honey
that made a perfect trail, very easy to follow. And
then all of a sudden it came to a stop. Hey, RAFFI, uh,

(07:26):
did you like stop around here somewhere? Those purple drops
that we've been following it all of a sudden stopped,
said Vono. Well, yeah, sometimes I like to sit down
on this rock here and take off my pinchers and
give them a good scratching, because they get really itchy.
When I get sweaty, and I think it was. Yeah,

(07:46):
it was pretty hot today, and so I might have
sit down here and put them Vono and RAFFI couldn't
believe it. Right behind the rock there were his pinchers.
Oh I remember now. Oh yes, I think I sat
down here to eat some of the purple honey on
the way because I was hungry. And yes, I got

(08:07):
really sweaty, so I took off my claws to it's
this really scratchy part. And then I must have forgotten something. Yeah,
I forgot to put my claws back on before I
kept going. Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, I'm so.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Glad that you found them there right here. And look,
you even still have some more purple honey left over,
said Vano as he reached down and picked up the
claws and the purple honey and handed them to RAFFI. Oh,
thank you so much. A Well, now I need to
get back home, but thanks for your help. Vno, bye bye, Raffy.

(08:40):
I'll see you tomorrow. Vano waved and flew off back
to his hive. Wow, what a great friend that Vano
was to Raffi. Raffi needed some help finding his missing claws,
which that's still pretty strange and silly to me he
took them off in the first place. I'm so glad

(09:00):
that Vana was super helpful, and that's kind of a
great reminder for us, like when our friends need help
and they ask for us to help them, it's being
a great friend, like a really good friend when you
help your friends out. So the next time that your
friend maybe loses something, make sure that you stop what
you're doing and you help them search for that missing

(09:21):
claw pincher. It might not be a pincher, but maybe
it's a lost toy. And that is the end of
today's adventure. Hey, friends, I need your help celebrating a birthday.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Drummer roll please sh Happy birthday, read who's turning five
years old? Reid lives in New York City, loves dinosaurs
and construction. Wow, Reid, I'm so glad we got to
celebrate you and your big day on the show.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Happy fifth birthday Read. Well, friends, I hope you all
have a super duber day and I will see you
on our next adventure. Bye.
