SPEAKER_04:

Is this thing on? It's the Ari Show! With me, Ari! You'll see the door bear. Don't forget about me, Alky! This story is called Ari and the Golden Grogger. Here we go. Dad, we're picking up Yosef Doverbear first today.

SPEAKER_10:

Okay, and then we're getting Noki after.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Hey, um, I wanted to ask you about, like, I wanted to ask you about the dentist. Remember you said that if I brush my teeth a lot, I won't have to go to the dentist.

SPEAKER_10:

Oh, Ari, that's not what I said. What I said was brush your teeth and go to the dentist. That's the best way to take care of your teeth.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, I hate the dentist. Oh, there's Joseph Dover Bear.

unknown:

Hey!

SPEAKER_04:

Hi, Ari. Hi, Mister. Ari's dead. Hey, I'm cooking up some great ideas for Parm. I'm still working on the Perm play, but I got some great ideas for groggers this year. Yes, last year your grogger was hilarious. Yeah, bringing a guitar and plugging it in was awesome. But the rabbi said no electronics this year. So So you came up with something even better, I would imagine. That's right. Check this out. Say Hamun. Hamun. Is that a real duck?

SPEAKER_10:

You bet! Oh wow, you got a duck for Hamun. That's great. Hey, let me turn up the radio for a second here.

SPEAKER_07:

This is 1010 Wins. You give us 22 minutes. We'll give you the world. Good morning, I'm Howard Lipperin. As the Jewish people prepare for the holiday of Purim, the traditions are abound. Here our tradition correspondent, Marcy, will discuss some of the delicious foods that are made in the tradition of Purim.

SPEAKER_18:

Honestly, the best thing is just throw it out because it's almost painful.

SPEAKER_07:

Thank you very much for that, Marcy. And now a little child will sing a song. Thank you for that. In other news, recent studies have shown that going to the dentist is the most important thing in the world, especially if your name is Ari.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, he wasn't supposed to say your name. Dad, is this one of those things that you do where you try to set up a trick to get me to go to the dentist?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, you got me.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a pretty good one though. Getting the radio to say it for me. Oh, there's Noki! Hurters! Hey! We gotta get to school fast because we gotta write our perm play. Yes, indeed. See you later, Dad! Bye! Guys, I'm so excited for Perm! I'm so excited for Perm. Every year, Perm is the best! Best holiday! Candy, costumes, joking, laughing, you know, all the stuff that I love! Yes, and the historical context of the celebration of Perm is also one that I enjoy a lot. Yeah, sure, Yoshift of Bear. Um, yeah, so Perm. Remember last year when we did the Perm play? That was so fun! I love the Perm play! Yeah, you love everything, but everyone loves our Perm play. Yes, indeed, the humor was exceptional. Yes, the jokes were amazing. Problem is that we gotta do it again this year, and I I don't know if I have so many good ideas. Well, let's review what we have so far written on this pad. Number one, the school turns into something. Number two, the school turns into something else. Number three, those are those aren't good ideas! We need to do better than last year. We need to do even better than last year. Okay, I'm gonna keep thinking. Yossi Dovair, you write everything down. I wouldn't have it any other way. And we'll keep thinking, and then we'll meet up after class is over. We gotta come up with this by the end of the day. The prime play is today!

SPEAKER_11:

Good morning, class.

SPEAKER_23:

Good morning, Rebby!

SPEAKER_11:

Today we are talking about the mystery of the golden groger.

SPEAKER_22:

I was on a golden grog.

SPEAKER_11:

It has not been seen in over 200 years. Your assignment is to learn as much as you can about the golden groger.

SPEAKER_04:

Hey, how come it makes that noise every time?

SPEAKER_11:

It's something fascinating about Purim that a lot of people don't know about. Now, this assignment must be done by the end of the day.

SPEAKER_04:

By the end of the day? Oh man, we have to also work on our Purim play. We'll do both, don't worry, Ari. Let's get on the bus.

SPEAKER_08:

Shalom boys, Manishma, come on the bus. Come, come, come, come on the bus. I'm gonna give you something delicious to eat.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, what do you got today?

SPEAKER_14:

I'm cooking shawarma. That seems a bit dangerous to have a swarma turning on the bus.

SPEAKER_13:

Okay, you don't want shawarma, I give you falafel. You don't want falafel, I'll give you cookie. Whatever you want, I have it because this is the best bus in the world.

SPEAKER_04:

This is the best bus in the world. Free stuff, whatever we want. Yes, where are you going today? Where am I taking you today? That's right, this bus will take us wherever we want. Um, where should we go? Let's look for information at the library. You just love going to the library. Yes, indeed. It's my happy place. My happy place is everywhere. Okay, let's go to the library. Alright, let's find a seat. Hmm, there's not so many seats. Hey, are you guys getting off at the next stop? We could have your seat. We will be riding this bus till to the end of the line. Together, I assume, because you're twins. We do everything together! All other time. Do you guys ever say different words?

SPEAKER_06:

We never say different words of each other.

SPEAKER_04:

What if I said Megup? Say anything right now! Say any words right now. Motor techniques and hyper seek up. You guys are too much. Uh the play. Um gosh. I need um. Hey guys, I got a seat over here. Oh no, Gotta seat, let's go. Hey, no one's thinking about like the whole thing of like how we like bang and boo when we say Haman's name? It's funny. It it's really a funny thing that we do. Yeah, it it is indeed a tradition that is uh unique. That's what I'm saying. It's like where else would we do we ever say anyone else's name and like go like boo afterwards? I don't think so. Sometimes I wonder how it started. Like when was the first time that they made a sound like that for Hama? Hmm, interesting. Hey, I have an idea. Let's tilt our heads to the side and look up, and then like we'll hear a sound that sounds like we're going back in time, and we'll flash back to the very first reading of the Megillah. Okay.

SPEAKER_08:

Allow him to explain himself.

SPEAKER_03:

Hamon's a pretty bad guy, so wanna hear his name of a boo.

SPEAKER_08:

He is indeed correct.

SPEAKER_00:

Wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_12:

This is gonna be so good.

SPEAKER_08:

I am throwing it to me.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, I doubt that's how it actually occurred.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

For sure how it happened. Right, for sure. No, you you can't just agree with both of us. I agree. Oh, okay, we're at the library. Let's go. Thanks, Amir! Lead out, bye-bye. Wow, this library is huge. Yup, it's the largest library in North America. That door seems really heavy. Help me get it open. Whoa. This place is huge. Yes, a reader's paradise. Wow, where do we even start? Of course, our first step should always be ask the librarian.

SPEAKER_20:

Excuse me? Hello, library, please hold. Hello. Hello, library. Wait, you work at the library now? Ari, what do you need?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh, we're looking for something.

SPEAKER_20:

Not now. I have a lot to do.

SPEAKER_04:

No, can you please help us? It's an assignment. It's for a real assignment, I promise this time. Ari, this is a library. You have to whisper.

SPEAKER_20:

What did you say? I said, I really hope the weather's nice on print this year. Ari, this is not a joke.

SPEAKER_04:

And you know I hate the jokes! Uh, jokes! I heard a good one. Wanna hear it?

unknown:

Ari.

SPEAKER_04:

Let's see, uh book kind of joke, library joke.

unknown:

Ari.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. Why was the math book always unhappy?

SPEAKER_20:

Because he had a lot of problems. Also, because he's a math book. Ari, do you like games? I love games. Okay, let's play a game. It's called the Quiet Game. Ready? One, two, three. Did it start yet? Did it start yet? Did I win?

SPEAKER_04:

Am I winning? Am I doing great? Oh my gosh, I'm so good at this game. I'm amazing at this. What do you need? We're actually looking for any book that might have something about the golden grogger.

SPEAKER_20:

Uh I I just realized Ari. Rabbi Levine needs me. I have to send that email.

SPEAKER_04:

Rabbi Levine doesn't even work here. Strange. Hey, hey, hey. Ask maybe ask that librarian. You guys go over there and I'll take a look around. Let's split up. That seems like a good idea in these situations. We'll go in different directions. Okay. Excuse me, sir. Yes? We have a project for school that we need some information.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, you came to the right place. This is the biggest library in North America.

SPEAKER_06:

I love how all the lights and everything are always like shining and all the stairs are all big and everything. Yes. Why don't you come with me?

SPEAKER_05:

Now what was your assignment about?

SPEAKER_04:

Um, it is it's an assignment about the different traditions that people have for the holiday of Purim. Like shell humanos or eating the suda or like, you know, human things.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh yes, let me bring you to a part of the library which may have what you're looking for.

SPEAKER_04:

Hey, wasn't there um another older gentleman who was also a librarian here?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes. Sadly, he's no longer with us.

SPEAKER_04:

Um I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_05:

Yes. He works at the library across the street now. What? I haven't seen him in several months.

SPEAKER_04:

Wait, there's another library across the street? Why don't you guys just merge them together and have one library?

SPEAKER_05:

Well, you know, library politics. Here's the section. This book may be what you're looking for.

SPEAKER_06:

You mean this Burkle tell us about the golden gragger? What did you just say? Golden Grabbard?

SPEAKER_05:

A golden grabbard. Yep, that's what I said. I can't help you with that. Nice to meet you, boys.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, that was strange. Let's see. Here's something that might be helpful. Oh, let's find Ari. Where is he? No ideas for the purm play. This is this is rough. I don't even know. What am I looking for here? Hey, this is a darker part of the library. Almost as if this is like the evil part of the library. Mm-hmm. I'm looking for the book.

SPEAKER_23:

Hey. You're looking for what book?

SPEAKER_04:

Wait, where did you just come from?

SPEAKER_23:

From the shadows.

SPEAKER_04:

Whoa, cool. You're like a shadow guy. Okay. Nice to meet you, shadow guy.

SPEAKER_22:

Hey.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I was just looking for some information on the golden grogger. I can sell it to you for the right price. Wait a second, how'd you get this information? Um I don't know. That sounds really like shady. Um, I'm gonna say no. And this is me learning a lesson. Cool. No, thanks. Oh, that was really easy. I really thought that was gonna be like a whole thing, but I guess not. See you around. Are you still here? Yeah, in the shadows. Right, the shadows, right. You told me about the shadows. Do you like live in in this library? Maybe, maybe not. Can you answer any question in like a regular way? Like, what'd you have for breakfast today? Beef jerky. Oh, okay. Bye-bye! Hmm, I just learned a really valuable lesson. Could this be the end of the st situation? Let me find your safety of bear and no key. Maybe it's down this way. Oh, what's this area? Carrying the one journal of recreational math? This is the math section! Ah! Math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math, math! Oh! Huh! Ari, you look like you've seen a ghost. Worse. There was math. I love math. Oh, and I met this shadow guy, and I learned a lesson how like I shouldn't take shortcuts, and uh and cheating is not good. Ari, maybe save that for later. We still have like 23 minutes left. Got it. You're never going to believe what we found. Okay, what did you find? It appears there's a gentleman who lives in a discreet location that still runs and operates the largest Groger factory in the United States. Well, it's a discreet location. Means it's hard to get to. Yes, if we can get there, it is very likely that he has information. Yeah, and if we can get there, we can have all the information. I literally just said that. Hey guys, why are we going to the Groger Factory though? Okay, Yosif Dovear, write this all down and we'll make our way over to the Grogger factory. Adding it into the file. I'm starting to get tired, guys. I'm starting to fade a little bit. You know what usually helps me when I'm starting to feel tired like this. For me, a long nap is helpful. Nogie, we don't have time for a long nap. No, what I was thinking was candy. Whoa, what's this? It appears to be a candy store. Yeah, with a big sign that says free candy. I would be a little skeptical if I were you. My father always says, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

SPEAKER_06:

My father always says, What's the point of having a good supermarket if there's no parking in front of it? I mean, I work really hard every single day, and I'm gonna sit here and wait for a parking spot to open up. You know what? That's it. We're not getting anything.

SPEAKER_04:

We're gonna hope that we're gonna have crankers for supper because this doesn't make any sense. Nokie, Noki! Hey, you good, bro? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm great. Come on, guys, let's go get some free candy, okay? I wouldn't.

SPEAKER_09:

Welcome to the candy store, gentlemen. This is the free candy store. In here, you can have as much as you want and eat as much as you want. Cause in here, candy is free for everyone. There's gotta be a catch somewhere here.

SPEAKER_04:

So we really can just have as much candy as we want?

SPEAKER_09:

If by candy you mean happiness.

unknown:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09:

Who can make a sunrise? This long. No, just have candy. That's enjoy.

SPEAKER_01:

So we can have it. We can have the candy, like have as much candy as you want. Okay, okay. What's that drilling mean?

SPEAKER_04:

Um you looked up at the store, did you read the whole sign? Yeah, did free candy end? Free candy and free candy and dentist office.

SPEAKER_09:

That's right, boys. Eat as much candy as you want. And when you're ready, come over here and check if you've got a cavity or whatnot.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh boy, there was a catch. Hey, isn't that kid in our class?

SPEAKER_16:

What's going on with that kid? You had so much damage, and you've been running around the floor for days, and we can't get him into the dentist.

SPEAKER_04:

Wait a minute. Take that hat off. You're Dr. Stan. My dad put you up to this, didn't he? Well, you got me. Oh, he is good. He almost got me this time.

SPEAKER_09:

Yep.

SPEAKER_04:

But you gotta wake up pretty. You know, you gotta bye.

SPEAKER_13:

Manish ma, manish ma, okay, bonhashem, okay. Where are you going now?

SPEAKER_04:

Grogger factory, the end of town. Step on it.

unknown:

Okay, yella.

SPEAKER_04:

This is it. Three tickets to the Kroger Factory, please. Yes, it of bear, make sure you're writing this down. I know, I know.

SPEAKER_19:

Hello, and welcome to the Groger Factory. What you'll find here is the largest collection of groggers in the entire world. We have one simple rule, and if we can follow this rule, we will have an excellent, great, fun, wonderful time today. The rule goes as follows: Please do not say the name of the wicked person in the perm story! As it can set up all the groggers all at once.

SPEAKER_06:

You mean human?

SPEAKER_19:

This grogger factory has been in operation since 1841 and makes all different types of groggers from all different parts of the world. If you look to your left, you will see the first grogger that was ever invented. Well, it's made out of paper. We now come to our most popular item, the silver grogger. I feel like we're getting close. And our second most popular item, the bronze grogger.

SPEAKER_04:

Nope. I have a question. Do all these work to bang for hummun?

SPEAKER_19:

As a reminder, please refrain from using the word hummon. We now come to our last part of the tour. This is the most famous grogger maker in the world, Mr. Roger Groger. Roger Groger has been making grogger since 1951. Did you say 1951? This is a very stressful job. At this point, I'm going to take a break and try to cool off in the break room. Maybe make myself a sandwich. Ladies and gentlemen, Roger Groger.

SPEAKER_03:

I've been making groggers ever since I was little.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, this guy for sure knows.

SPEAKER_03:

The important thing is when you make a grogger that it has to be properly balanced. Because if it's not balanced, then you're gonna make a noise that sounds instead of like this. It'll sound something like this. What did you just say? Did you just say golden grogger? Catch those kids. We weren't running. Somebody catch them.

SPEAKER_04:

Human. Okay, now we're running catch those.

SPEAKER_03:

Kids catch them. Catch those kids. Somebody catch those kids. Somebody catch those kids. Somebody catch them.

SPEAKER_04:

We got nowhere. We got no new information. We have no new jokes for our perm play. We are not doing too well. This feels like the part of the story where things start to go south. I wish there was some sort of place where there was like Purim experts, like people who we could just like ask the question to. Yes, like like a central meeting point for all people who know everything about Purim.

SPEAKER_06:

I heard that there's a Purim suda in a discreet location that goes on for two weeks every year from Mersh Hodish Ador all the way until Perm.

SPEAKER_04:

Noki, really, there's some things that you just shouldn't believe when you hear them. Um this paper that I tore out of the large book in the library actually confirms that what Nokia is saying is correct. Nokia! You just figured out where we should go next! I knew that. What does it say there? It says the location that's at the back door of 2263 Northwest 36th Street. Oh, that's that's not far from here. Yes, but only those with the special password are able to enter. How are we even going to figure out what the password is? Hey, you're the kid from the library.

SPEAKER_23:

You bet I am. I might know something about the passcode.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, yeah, didn't I tell you I don't want to cheat or like lie or nothing? That was the lesson that I learned.

SPEAKER_23:

I thought you might want the passcode to the two week-long per suit. That's all.

SPEAKER_02:

Are you but are you allowed to give it to me though? Oh yeah, it's totally fine. Anyone can find it online.

SPEAKER_23:

Oh, okay. See you soon, Ari.

SPEAKER_04:

This appears to be the location. Uh knock on this wooden window thing. Who goes there? Ah yes, it is I, Ari! We are here for the two-week long poem suda! I know key.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, of course. Everyone is welcome as long as they know the password. Do you know the password? Yes. Perm. And the second word Suda. Very well, come on in We have some new members. Together, everybody, let's welcome them together. Let's say our welcoming welcome thing.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, guys, spread out and we'll ask everybody if they know anything about the golden grogger.

SPEAKER_08:

Hello, my name is Cherve Brejny Atrostok. What is the proper pronunciation of that? That is Cherve Cherve Abresh Atrostok. A trustok.

SPEAKER_06:

I love that.

SPEAKER_08:

My favorite tradition of Purim is the giving out of potato.

SPEAKER_12:

Every year we all gather in the square. We come around one potato and we say, Who here is evil and who here is a good boy? And everybody keep their hand down for good boy, because good boy don't say I am good boy. After that, if you are good boy, you get half potato.

SPEAKER_04:

What about candy?

SPEAKER_12:

Candy is for little mouse.

SPEAKER_04:

No, no, no. Mr. Chair of Immergenist, look. You have to understand, we just were kids, we like candy.

SPEAKER_08:

If you like candy, you are weak. You are weak, you are a mouse.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm not a little mouse.

SPEAKER_08:

Do you like candy?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Then you are a mouse.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_14:

SPEAKER_06:

I don't know how to make a tuna sandwich.

SPEAKER_17:

Alright, while the candy kid is napping, let's make that. Gandhi, gitty, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy. Okay, Rabbi, you get the last word.

SPEAKER_22:

Tell us what you want us to know about permanent of permanent are Dorty Pizza? Where? Dress up and dress up.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you so much, everybody. Thank you! Thank you so much for coming! Whatever happened to the golden groger? Well, it seems like the golden groger is just a mystery we're not gonna be solving anytime soon. Unless Aren't you the librarian?

SPEAKER_05:

Unless you've already found the golden grogger. But I haven't. Unless it was inside of you all along. Like I swallowed a groger? I don't think so. Pretty sure I would know. That's true. I'm not actually a librarian. My name is actually Solomon Groger. Wait, the Roger Groger was the guy in the groger factory. That's right, he's my brother. It's time for you to know about the golden grogger. The golden grogger is given to the person who loves Perm the most in the world. Has shown a great commitment and value of spreading the joy of Perm. That sounds like me. That's correct. It is you, Ari. You are the rightful holder of the golden grogger. Oh my! Whoa! Now to present you with a golden grogger, because it's very heavy. It makes it incredible.

SPEAKER_20:

It is with great pleasure that we present a young, aspiring scholar, Ari, with the golden groger. Ari, you are the most fit for this very special object. Well, I've never seen you this emotional before. Use it in good health and protect it with your life.

SPEAKER_04:

That's a bit much, but I get I mean it, Ari.

SPEAKER_20:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

And furthermore, the recipient of the Golgen Grager receives a golden shalakmanos. Is this edible? Yeah, it's just edible. Congratulations, Ari.

SPEAKER_09:

You are a little mouse! Not a little mouse!

SPEAKER_11:

Ari, you did a great job. And you deserve the golden groger.

SPEAKER_04:

Hey, how come it's not making that noise when you say golden groger?

SPEAKER_05:

It only makes that noise when it's not in the right hands. The one who loves firm the most.

SPEAKER_04:

Golden Groger. Golden Groger. Golden Groger. Golden Gragger! Golden Groger. It doesn't make the noise anymore. Remy Mandelson, you knew about the whole Golden Groger thing?

SPEAKER_11:

Well, let's just say there's no assignment to search for the Golden Groger. I sent you out on this journey, not knowing for sure whether you were the rightful holder of the Golden Groger. But I had a hunch because of how much you care about Purim. And I was right.

SPEAKER_04:

Yosef Dobar and Noki, this was an extra assignment for them? I appreciate the extra opportunity for learning. Yeah, me too, I love it. Wow, what a wild journey we just went on. Yes, indeed. Hey, what is the golden grogger sound like when you when you shake it? I don't know. There's something written on the bottom of it. When the rival owner of the Golden Groger holds it in his hand and spins it around, it makes the proper sound for a perm for every situation. The one that he thinks of is the perfect sound for that moment of perm. I wonder what this moment calls for. Let's try it. One, two, three. Hey, this is Ari here. Thanks so much for listening to my story. We made a lot of jokes tonight. But one thing that's not a joke is going to the dentist. Do I really have to read this?

SPEAKER_11:

Ari.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, okay, I'm doing it. Go to the dentist whenever you need to, because it's really important. And also,
