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.

My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
The cotton candy castle catastrophe wee cried Princess Avelin as
she rode through the lollipop forest on the back of
her pet unicorn. Gum Drops. Gum Drops and the Princess
were the best of friends. They loved morning gallops through
the lollipop forest, swimming with the gummy sharks in the lake,
and skiing down ice Cream Mountain together. And skiing down

(00:27):
ice Cream Mountain together, they reached the chocolate bar road
and Princess a hopped off. I'm hungry, declared gum Drops.
Let's head home and have French toast. That sounds delicious,
replied Princess Avelin. I'll race you, and the two friends
ran back to their castle. They could always smell their

(00:49):
home before they saw it. The wind carried the scent
of spunge sugar down the hill toward them. As they
walked up the hill, the fluffy towers were the first
to come into view. Castle looked like it was formed
from edible, bright pink clouds, and it basically was. It
was a cotton candy castle. Hey, ay, pass me the
syrup please, gum Drops whinnied to her friend across the

(01:12):
table as they ate their French toast as a unicorn.
Gum Drops had a major sweet tooth. Avelin had to
stop her from eating the walls of their cotton candy castle.
Every now and then. The princess slid the syrup to
gum Drops while listening to the weather report. Summer is
here in sugar USh City. Today is shaping up to
be the hottest day on record. Aveln was excited at

(01:33):
the snooze hottest summer day. This sounds like a perfect
day to go to the lake. The unicorn burped as
she finished her fren's toast. Let's go get our towels
and head out. Gum Drops was also excited. The two
friends loved to swim up. In her room, Gumdrops was
making sure she had all the essentials for a fun
day at the lake. Towel, check, sunglasses, check bag of

(01:58):
emergency candy. Bloop, Something landed on top of gum Drop's
sparkly mane.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Huh what was that? Bloop? Plump?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
This time something plopped onto her nose. She looked it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yum, that's delicious.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
She cantered out to tell Avelon that something delicious was
happening in her room, Princess Avelin, come quick. Something delicious
just landed on me in my room. Gum Drops, help,
was Avelon's only reply. Gumdrops turned her canter into a
full gallop and arrived to see the Princess's room brighter
than usual and covered in a pink, sticky goop.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hey did you add.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
A skylight in here?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's so bright? What's all over your stuf, asked gum Drops.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, gum Drops, look up, my ceiling is gone.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
It melted.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sure enough. When gum Drops looked up, she saw the
whole ceiling of Avelen's room was missing. Oh no, gold Drops,
it's too hot. Our castle is melting. The walls in
Princess Abelin's room began to sag. The two friends waded
through the goopy melted sugar and made it to the door.
Gum Drops, the stairs. The stairs to the front hall

(03:15):
had all melted down into a sticky slide. They tried
to head toward the other stairway by the kitchen, but
a river of pink melted sugar was heading toward them.
Gum Drops slipped the stream of sugar.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
This is the most delicious problem I've.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Ever had Princess Abelin tried not to laugh at our
silly unicorn. Gumdrops, we need to get out of here
before we get stuck in this syrupy mess and the
whole castle melts. What do we do? Gum Drops looked
around for ideas. All of the walls in the hallway
were beginning to drip drop sugary streams were escaping every
room and running down the slide that used to be

(03:49):
the stairs. The only things still intact were the cookie doors.
Eureka shouted, gum Drops, I have an idea, Princess, ay,
grab the door and give them to me. The melty
walls made it easy for Aveelin to pull the doors off.
She handed them to the unicorn and watched her put
them on the ground. Hop on instructed gum Drops, Abelin

(04:11):
jumped onto the cookie. Hold on tight, Gumdrops pushed the
cookie down the hall with her horn, heading straight for
the stairs. Whoo. The two friends screamed with glee as
Gumdrops jumped on behind the princess and the cookie careen
down the slide stairs. The stream of liquid sugar was
now running down like a water slide, propelling them even

(04:33):
faster toward the front hall. With a woosh, the cookie
door skipped across the front hall, not losing any speed.
As it headed for the front doors.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Gum Drops were going to crash.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Avelin burrowed into her unicorn sitting behind her. Gum Drops
leaned forward and pointed her horn at the doors. Crash.
The cookie and its two passengers burst through the doors
and came to a stop on the sticky grass outside
the melted castle. Princess Aveelin and her gum dropped castle
melted into a pinky shimmer pool of sugar. With the
help of friends, they rebuilt their castle, but made sure

(05:06):
to use a candy with a higher melting point this
time
