Princess Donnasaurus' Summer Postcard 2022 Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

Greetings, my Royal Subjects! It is I, Princess Donnasaurus, wishing you a most resplendent summer!

I have been making sure that my summer is resplendent by bestowing Royal Hugs upon all of my friends. That is a very good way to say “I love you!” Of course, I only give Royal Hugs to my friends if they want them. If someone says they do not want a hug right now (even one from a Regal Personage such as myself!), another majestic way to say “I love you” is to save your hug for another time.

I would be delighted to offer you a Royal Hug, but unfortunately, we are too far apart. Instead, may I suggest that you have your grown-up help you write me to tell me—how were you kind today, and then I decree that Scotty shall send you a sticker!

Have a stately summer, my friends, and I shall see you soon in The Imagine Neighborhood!

PS: I love you!!

Macho Supreme Summer Postcard 2022 Jul 24, 2022

Show notes

Greetings, friends! Macho Supreme here!

How is your summer going? Is it extremely macho? Macho hopes that it is. Macho is making his summer extremely macho by doing one of the most macho things Macho can think of—saying “I love you!”

Macho has decided to say “I love you!” to all of Macho’s friends by helping them!

So far this summer, Macho has helped the Fire Pirates, and Nana Supreme, and Princess Donnasaurus, and Macho has even helped Count Vacula by leaving goblin glitter on the floor for him to eat . . . although, now that Macho thinks about it, that may not have been the best idea Macho has ever had.

What ideas do you have for saying “I love you” to your friends and family? You can have your grown-up help you write to Macho to tell him all about it, and then Macho can tell Scotty to send you some awesome stickers! That would definitely be extremely macho!

Well, Macho has more friends to go say “I love you” to, and Macho also thinks he should probably check on his friend Count Vacula. Macho is concerned that Vacula has eaten a little too much goblin glitter and might hurt himself zooming around so fast. That would not be macho at all.

PS: Oh! Did you think Macho had forgotten to say “I love you” to you? That would also not be macho at all!

PPS: I LOVE YOU!!

Alakazambra's Summer Postcard 2022 Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

Salutations! It is I, Alakazambra Tyesha Morganis, sending you greetings from Flutterbudge Lake Summer Camp where I am saying “I love you” by teaching Charms and Crafts to all the campers!

This year, camp is extra special. Wanteth to know why? Because Count of Vacula is here as well! He has never been to camp before, so I thought sharing this experience with him wouldst be a terrific way to say, “I love you!”

We are having a spellbinding summer, and Vac is even helping me write a love letter to my boyfriend, Bandersnatch Countyseat. That is, Vac might help me as soon as he calms down from all the goblin glitter he hath eaten off the floor . . . By the Eye of Greldar, that stuff really makes him excited!

I shall see you all again in a few weeks back at The Imagine Neighborhood™, but in the meantime, I hope you are finding all kinds of magical methods for telling your family and friends “I love you!” Sendeth me a letter to tell me about it, and of course, I wouldst be delighted to know—how wast thou kind today?

PS: And remember—pixie wings do NOT go in thine mouth!

Doctor Apocalypso and the Great Breakfast Mess Jun 19, 2022

Show notes

It’s Father’s Day, and Doc wants to let her dads know how much she loves them, so she plans a very special breakfast-in-bed—maybe one that’s a little too special! And when Doc’s turbocharged breakfast catapult makes a mess in the house, her Papa gets so upset that she thinks he might not love her anymore! Will one bite of Scotty’s Choc-o-Berry Marshmallow Bran Explosion send Doc hurrying home? Will Papa’s apology help Doc understand that it’s okay to make mistakes, because they help us learn how to do better next time? Will Doc’s new song “Ways to Say I Love You” be the world’s next huge hit?

For all the answers, agarra a alguien que amas and get ready to hit the dance floor for some heart-pounding headbanging on today’s rockin’ episode of The Imagine Neighborhood!

No Filter with Weird Al Yankovic Jun 12, 2022

Show notes

Hi, friends—guess what? It’s almost time for summer break, so today I get to bring you this season’s very last episode of No Filter with Count Vacula!

I’m so happy about all the amazing people I got to meet this year, but I’m super excited for you to meet my newest friend, “Weird Al” Yankovic! His first name is really Alfred, but everyone calls him Weird Al because he’s extremely silly, and he’s famous for writing and performing hilarious songs.

A lot of Weird Al’s music is in a style called “parody,” which means that he takes other people’s songs and gives them new and funny words. Some of my favorites are “Eat It”, “Yoda,” and the “Captain Underpants Theme Song.” He’s so good at making songs that he’s won five Grammy Awards and sold more than 12 million albums! He’s also written two terrific kids’ books, When I Grow Up and My New Teacher and Me!

But what matters most about Weird Al is that he’s a really nice and kind person! And even though I’m a vampire robot vacuum and he’s an accordion-playing human, we have lots of things in common. We both like cardboard boxes, and dogs, and cereal. . . and he says he’s a vampire like me, but I haven’t seen him at any of the meetings, so I think he was probably just being playful.

Weird Al told me an amazing true story about selling his old dryer lint for $600, and a hilarious made-up story about the tiny monsters that make all the echoes we hear. I had a great time getting to know Weird Al, and I think you’ll have a great time, too.

I can’t wait to practice meeting more new people over the break! Are you looking forward to trying out your friend-making skills this summer? Maybe you’re going to camp or on a family vacation, or you’re excited about spending more time at your favorite park—but wherever you go, I’ll bet there will be new friends just waiting to meet you and I can’t wait to hear about it! Until then, stay kind and have a great summer!

See you soon!

Your pal,

Vac

AlakazamBraids Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

Today, Count Vacula is super excited, because Alakazambra is taking him to a fancy new roller-skating rink! But first she’s getting a her hair done by magical Miss Mamas at The Enchanted Haus of Coils, Curls, and Charms. With her bewitching new braids, "AllyK" feels happy, confident, and ready to roll! But at the rink, there’s trouble. A bunch of troller skaters make fun of her hair and say they won’t let her skate until she takes her braids out!

Will Vac give himself a tummyache eating candy off the floor of the Golden Rink Deluxe?...

Will Miss Mamas teach Alakazambra to stand up against discrimination and let her inner light shine bright?...

Will Scotty ever stop looking in the mirror at his fancy new fade?

To find out, lash up those laces and get ready to rock the rink on today’s exciting episode of The Imagine Neighborhood!

Ready? Set?

ALL SKAAAAAAAAAATE!
