1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's stories brought

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: to us by two of our listeners, Vaughn and Vail.

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Hey guys, they are subscribers on our podcast, which you

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: should be too, and they left a review on our

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Apple podcast with their idea for a story, which was amazing.

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm super excited for it. Are you guys ready? Me too?

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Let's go one rainy afternoon Vaughn and Vale where we're

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: helping their mom fold all the laundry. You see, that

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: was one of their favorite chores to do around the

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: house was find all their jammies and socks and find

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: all the matches. And they're actually really good at it too,

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: And this afternoon they were doing their job just as normal.

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: And do you know how when you fold socks sometimes

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: there's mismatched socks and you can't find the other matching

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: half to it. Yeah, you see, Von and Vale they

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: were having that happened to them too, um, which was

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: really annoying because they kept having this pile of socks

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: that didn't have any any matches. And I'm sure that

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: happens to you too, because it happens to me. Well,

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: you see, while Vaughan and Vale were doing that They're

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Spy Kids. Beeper went off baby by by by by

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: by bye bye by by by by, which meant they

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: got a message from headquarters. Let's go. And they ran

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: upstairs and opened up They're Spy Kids tablet and sure

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: enough there was a video message from Spy Kids and

26
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: it said, Vaughan and Veil, we need your help. You see,

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: there is a monster and he goes by the name

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: the sock Monster. Done done done, And you see he

29
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: does awful things, but he's very good at spying, and

30
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: he likes to try and learn our secret plans, and

31
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: he listens to everything we say. And do you know

32
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: what his favorite food is. He loves to eat socks. Oh, man, guys,

33
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: it's dangerous. If if you start seeing socks missing from

34
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: your house, it's probably because the sock Monster is there

35
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: and he's listening, and we need you to take care

36
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: of him for us. Okay, and do you think that's

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: something you guys can handle? Von and Vale said, oh absolutely,

38
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: we're so excited. We're gonna take on the sock Monster.

39
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what kind of clues like, is it big,

40
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: is it little? What does it look like? Well, that's

41
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: the thing we're not at exactly. Sure, we don't have

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: enough data and information on the sock Monster, but we

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: believe that he's a little smelly like you know, kind

44
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: of smells like old shoes, wet shoes, and we think

45
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: he is made of cloth. So keep an eye out

46
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: for him. We will check in with you soon. Oh

47
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: one more thing, you see, I've been waiting to tell

48
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: you this, but your mom is actually on the Spy

49
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Kids team. What Vaughan said, are you kidding me? My

50
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: our mom is on the Spy Kids team. Are you

51
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: for real? Ah? Yeah, she's She's been on our team

52
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: for a long time, ever since she was your age,

53
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: and she's a really special informant. She has a lot

54
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: of experience with this, so just bring her in on

55
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: this one. I think it's going to take the three

56
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: of you to take down the sock Monster over and out.

57
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: Vaughan and Veiled couldn't believe it their mom was on

58
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: the Spy Kids team. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Uh wait,

59
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: how do we know? I wonder if there's Oh yeah,

60
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: let's ask her the secret code, like the secret password

61
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: code first by kids, and if she knows it, then

62
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: she's definitely on our team. Okay. So the question is

63
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: what goes knock knock knock, and the right answer is

64
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: a redwoodpecker. Okay, So as long as she says that,

65
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: then we're good. Let's go ask her. Hey, mom, how

66
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: are you doing. How's the laundry going good? Okay, Well,

67
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: we have a question for you, really important. What goes

68
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: knock knock knock? Stevon and Vale's mom. She hadn't heard

69
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: that code in a long time, and she was confused.

70
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: She actually didn't know that her kids were on the

71
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Spy Kids team. She said, well, it's a red woodpecker,

72
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: you are Yes. They couldn't believe it. The three of

73
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: them had just realized that they were all on the

74
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: same team. Von and Vale were super excited to have

75
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: their mom on their team because she was awesome and

76
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: really smart. All right, mom, we just got a message

77
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: from Spy Kids and they wanted you in on it too.

78
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: But you know how our socks are missing. Yeah, that's

79
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: because all of her socks, well half of them are

80
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: getting eaten by a sock mon star done done, Dune. Yes,

81
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to believe, mom, but you see

82
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: um the sock monster. He's here to spy on us,

83
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: and his food is socks. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, and um, well,

84
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: you see, we're not exactly sure how to get them.

85
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: But I thought maybe we could leave out some clue,

86
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: like leave out a trap. So let's do tonight. Let's

87
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: leave out a whole bunch of socks on the floor

88
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: and we'll see and oh and we can leave our

89
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: camera out perfect, and then we can see if the

90
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: sock monster comes out and eats it, and then we

91
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: can get a better idea of what we're what we're

92
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: working with. If this is a little monster like a mouse,

93
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: or if it's a big monster like a tiger. Okay,

94
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: we just don't know. And their mom said, oh, that

95
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: sounds like a great idea. Okay, I'm going to set

96
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: up the camera. You guys, you go get the socks,

97
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: and you lay him out on the living room floor. Okay,

98
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: just pick like five or six. I don't want him

99
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: to eat all of our socks because then we wouldn't

100
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: be able to wear our shoes outside because our shoes

101
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: would get so stinky. It's only five, okay, absolutely, mom,

102
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Veil said, And they hurried and got five delicious looking socks.

103
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: What's a delicious looking sock. What do you think a

104
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: sock monster would really like to eat, like a a

105
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: fuzzy sock, a big soccer, a little sock. Yeah, me too.

106
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: So they put out those socks on the floor and

107
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: then the mom set up the camera. Right, Oh, that's

108
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: a perfect spot. It was hiding behind a picture on

109
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: the wall. Sock monster will never see that coming. And

110
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: then it was getting pretty late, and so Vaughan and

111
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Veil went to bed, and their mom state up a

112
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: little later, but she didn't see anything, so everyone went

113
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: to bed. The next morning, they rushed downstairs. They couldn't

114
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: wait to see if all five socks were still there.

115
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: And they came down and that's weird. There's still socks there,

116
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: but how many of the there's one, two, three? Oh wait,

117
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: there's only three socks. Oh my gosh, it's real. Let's

118
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: check the camera. And they checked the camera and sure

119
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: enough there was. Oh that is a nasty looking sock monster.

120
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: It looked like it was well, it was as big

121
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: as like kind of like their big cat. They had

122
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: a really big cat, and it was almost that big.

123
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: And it looked like dusty and dirty, and oh, it

124
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: looked gross. And then Oh, my gosh, do you know

125
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: where it crawled under? It crawled underneath the rug. Oh

126
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, guys, do you think it lives under there?

127
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: Vonn and all raced over to the rug and they

128
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: picked up the rug. There's a hole in the floor. Guys,

129
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: what in the world is going on here? You see? Um,

130
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: their mom had just bought that rug and like two

131
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and there was not this hole like two

132
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So that sock monster he hasn't been there

133
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: very long, but he must have burrowed like a hole

134
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: in the floor to get in and out of the house.

135
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: And all right, guys, we need a spy gadget to

136
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: see what's going on in that hole. They'll ran upstairs

137
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: and found one of their spy gadgets. It was kind

138
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: of like a drone and a race car, so it

139
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: was a race car with a camera on it that

140
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: they could drive down into that hole. And they thought, oh,

141
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: maybe we should probably tie a rope onto it, just

142
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: in case the sock monster grabs it and then we

143
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: can pull it out. All right, careful, Van slowly lowered

144
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 1: it into the hole. It was kind of deep. It

145
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: was like deeper than he had to reach really far

146
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: in there, and when he let the race car down

147
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: on the bottom, they started to drive it forward. And

148
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: they had a special screen on their tablet that they

149
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: could watch the camera drive through the hole. And it

150
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: was very dark, and so they shined a flashlight down there,

151
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they heard a big scuffle.

152
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: The sock monster get it. And they started pulling on

153
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: the rope that was tied to the car, and I

154
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,320
