00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.919
When we have a problem or things go wrong, we can make a tune up.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.839
Yeah, we're writing a song.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:10.880
Sing it with me now.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:11.599
Tune up.
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:16.079
Tune-up.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:19.519
Hi, it's me, Benjamin.
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.000
We are doing a special summer series of tune-up.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.320
We're calling Bloop on the Stoop.
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.000
Wait, I should get to say it.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:26.879
You should get to say it.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.600
Do you want to say it?
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.280
Bloop on the Stoop.
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.239
Thanks, Bloop.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.640
And today we're gonna talk to Brooke, who has some big feelings about going away for the summer and saying goodbye to her friends.
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.840
Let's dig a listen.
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.119
Hi, I'm Benjamin.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.240
Hi, I'm Brooke.
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:42.960
I'm Lon.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:51.439
And we are doing a very special Zoom episode of Tune Up where we are seeing if we can do this over Zoom and I have a brand new microphone.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:01:01.759
And Brooke and I are different places, but we're gonna still turn some problems into a song because TuneUp is the podcast where kids write songs to help solve problems.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:14.000
And we were talking just a very little bit about summer and something that happens when you start the summer and you have to say goodbye to some friends who you might not see for a little while.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.560
Is that something that happened to you pretty recently?
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.200
Not yet, but I had to do that last year.
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:22.239
And last year.
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.920
Do you remember what it was like last year?
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.280
I think we all went to the park and we said bye to each other.
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.680
It wasn't like that big, but like I think I'm closer with a lot of my friends this year, so it may be a little bit.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.280
So let's do something.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.319
We're gonna pretend.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:47.680
So let's pretend with Bloop that he is about to have to say goodbye to some of his friends from Puppet School and is really sad, and we could think of some things we could tell him that might be some of those ideas that you just shared.
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:48.239
Yeah.
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.599
Wait a second! I have to go away for summer and I'm gonna miss a lot of my friends.
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.439
That actually sounds really sad.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.799
What am I gonna do?
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.599
Guess what?
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.879
You could look at pictures of them, you could write letters to them, maybe before you leave, you could video call them.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:03.920
Wait, wait, hold on.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.480
These are a lot of very good ideas, very fast.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.680
So wait, I could video call maybe my friends.
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.680
Like we're video calling right now, Kaida.
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:20.400
Yeah, you could also write letters to your friends so you could actually talk to your friends, and they could send you letters back so they could talk to you back.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:21.360
Oh my goodness.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.360
Do you know when I write a letter I have to hold a pen in my mouth because I don't have hands?
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:25.919
Huh.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.680
That's what it has to do.
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.960
You might get to see some other friends in the summer too, right?
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:31.919
Yeah.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.479
Because you have your summer camp friends.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.680
You have your summer camp friends, or if you travel somewhere in the summer, there might be other kids there that you could be friends with.
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.680
Oh, do I get to go to summer camp?
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.520
Like maybe in like a different room.
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:51.599
Yeah, you mostly use stay in a basket and but you could go to a whole different room and have a summer camp friend who maybe is someone you don't see that much.
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.199
Well, that sounds great.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.319
And and then I'll get to see my friends again though, right?
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.080
Yes, you will get to see your friends again because you're gonna go back to puppet school after summer's done.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.120
Fantastic.
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.199
Okay, so I will get to see them again.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:12.560
But in the meantime, I can write them letters and I can look at a picture of them and maybe do a video call.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.120
Yep.
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:14.639
That sounds pretty good.
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:15.759
Well, thank you, Brooke.
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.439
It's also the same thing for your parents.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.719
Oh, like if I don't see my parents for a little bit?
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.439
Yeah.
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:25.360
Yeah, that's true.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.159
And sometimes we do have to say goodbye to our parents for a little bit.
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.639
We could even do a whole episode about that at some point.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.159
Yeah, but one thing at a time! One thing at a time is good.
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.280
Thank you, Brooke.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.319
Bye, Bloop.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:36.960
We'll see you soon.
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.080
Cheese you, goodbye.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:38.960
Bye, Bloop.
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:51.439
And now I think we can write some of those ideas down in our TuneUp notebook and make up a new song all about going away for the summer and saying some goodbyes to our friends and missing our friends.
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.039
Do you have some ideas of words that we could put in our song?
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.599
Sometimes you have to go away.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.039
Oh, I love that.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.960
Sometimes you have to go away.
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.560
But it will be okay.
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.199
And you have a rhyme already! And you'll miss your friends.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.240
There are some ways you can see them again.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:11.759
But there are some ways.
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.639
I think that works.
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.360
You could tape a picture on your bed.
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.720
You can tape a picture of them on your bed.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.040
Do call them again and again.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.680
Oh, I love it! And we have a another rhyme.
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.399
We could But you'll have other friends.
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.199
Mm-hmm.
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.279
Ones from a different group.
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.040
Like a mini, like a troop thingy.
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.920
Is a troop like a group of people?
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.000
A troop is kind of like a group of people.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.759
Sometimes there's a theater troop.
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.279
It's like a group of people in a theater.
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:43.279
I love it.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.439
Do we want to go lele?
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:46.879
Do you play an instrument?
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.879
I do have the recorder.
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.319
Oh, cool.
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.439
But I just need to figure out what to do.
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.279
You wanna play a little more?
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:00.720
Is that good?
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:02.480
That sounds great, yeah.
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.199
I wonder if we could put that tune in our song.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.519
Like if we did sometimes.
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.240
You have to go away.
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.160
Something like that.
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.720
And it will be okay.
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.079
It will be okay.
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.600
To laugh and play.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.120
Ooh, to laugh and play?
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:31.920
I love that, bro.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.000
To laugh and play.
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:37.600
I love that.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.000
You might go to summer camp.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.639
You might go to sleep away.
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.759
You might go to sleep away.
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:46.480
Great.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.759
Some kids go on a trip in the summer.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.279
I might go on a trip, but it will be okay.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:52.959
Oh, I love that.
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:55.519
On a summer day.
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.600
On a summer day.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.600
And we could get something like, and there are some ways.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:07.439
You can see your friends again.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.000
You could tape them on your wall.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.879
Or you could give them a call.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.160
Call could tape their picture on your wall.
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.639
Or give the or give them a call.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.920
Or give them a call.
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.600
You might see different friends from a different group.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.759
For it's a little troop.
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.600
It's a little troop.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.279
I love that.
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.040
I love how you say it a lot.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.879
I think it's just gonna help a lot of kids.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.399
We have one minute left.
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.680
We have one minute.
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.439
Well, this has been so much fun.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.000
Yeah.
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.120
And I'm excited to try and put it all together.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.959
And thank you for all your hard work.
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.079
Thank you.
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:01.199
Bye.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.639
Bye, Brooke.
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.600
Sometimes you have to go away, but it'll be okay.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:25.360
It'll be okay to laugh and play on a summer's day.
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.240
You might go to summer camp or to sleep away.
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:51.279
You might go on a trip, but it'll be okay to laugh and play on a summer's day, and there are ways you can see your friends again.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.480
Take their picture on the wall or give them a call.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.879
You might see different friends from a different group.
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.439
It's a little true.
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:13.279
It's a little true, and it'll be okay on a summer day.
