Here we go. It's the final episode of Hey Arnold! as a TV show – not including the movies – and it's a doozy of a Stoop Kidz! episode, too. Arnold learns more about his parents' mission to help save the Green-Eyed People of San Lorenzo – the mission that would take them away from him seemingly forever. Join Cody, Emily, and Harry as they dive one last time into an episode of the cartoon that gave them so many beloved childhood memories.

King of the Fools Dylan Guerber returns to the stoop for one final time! Arnold and Helga's April 1 prank one-upmanship mirrors the secrets they keep from each other in “April Fool's Day,” where Helga's not-so-innocent practical jokes escalate tension between the two. In our discussion of this half-hour special, we discuss its place in the story of Arnold and Helga, its development, and the pranks we pulled in our own youth!

Arnold has to face his on-again off-again crush on Lila once and for all when he starts getting attention from an unexpected source: Gerald's little sister! “Timberly Loves Arnold” is a bit all over the place (didn't we close the book on #LilArnold? Why's Gerald so absent? Why's Sid gotta be so creepy?), but it does get the Kidz a bit nostalgic for the social awkwardness of childhood crushes and sibling tag-alongs. Timberly's good people. “Eugene, Eugene!” dramatizes the relationships among the kids of P.S. 118 when theater director (and Mr. Simmons's archrival) Mr. Leichliter brings a production of the titular stage play to the school. Spurned by a former love, Leichliter changes the ending of the play so the bad guy (Arnold) gets the girl (Lila) – and long-suffering Eugene won't stand for it. In our discussion, we talk about the framing of narratives as school play, how inconsequential Helga is, and how cool Tim Curry is.

Seth's back on the stoop and he's got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda's origami game predicts each kid's perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That's right – she knows exactly who's gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga's vision of her perfect married life and Arnold's depressingly dour subconscious. But even more interesting than the things we get to see (the kids of PS 118 “all growed up”) is what their dreams say about the feelings football-headed boy and his pining potential paramour: The kinds of things they can admit to themselves, how they confront their deeply held insecurities, and “Married” as a microcosm for the show's central conflict.

“A Day in the Life of a Classroom” questions the definition of “perfect” at P.S. 118 when a documentary crew wants to capture an exemplary day in Mr. Simmons's classroom! Mr. Simmons takes it a little too literally – think cinéma vérité with less of the vérité. Big Bob tries a little too hard to change his ways after a close call with a gas attack(?) in “Big Bob's Crisis.” But is selling your earthly possessions and moving your entire family to an Oregon commune better than just going to therapy and listening to your children?

Allegra gets back in front of the mic and DOESN'T embarrass herself on this episode of Stoop Kidz! Phoebe, however, DOES embarrass herself when her nervous flatulence gets picked up on mic in front of a large audience. (Podcast editor's note: That's one heck of a microphone.) Can Arnold help Grandpa get back his precious Packard after it's pilfered by some punk playing at payback? Can the automobile's many quirks help the duo prove it was stolen? How many Dashiell Hammett references can they stuff in an episode of Hey Arnold!? These questions and more in “Grandpa's Packard”!

Erica Csuy and Ellie DeMuth are back on the Stoop! “On the Lam” sees Harold, Stinky, and Sid on the run after assuming they blew up the police station (ACAB) with science project rockets. (They didn't. L.) In “Family Man”, Mr. Hyunh tries so hard to get a promotion at his restaurant job that he pretends Suzie is his wife, Arnold is his son, and Grandpa is his father to appease the boss, Mr. Camacho. But the boarders at Sunset Arms kind of already ARE his family, in a way!

Glueboy – Arnold, Oskar, and Mr. Hyunh's new racing horse – is no racing horse. So it's their job to get the mule(!) up to racing shape in “The Racing Mule”! The Kidz! are a lot less ambivalent about “Curly's Girl”, where Curly's childish, more than mildly creepy notions of “liking someone” take center stage with Rhonda as the victim. When Curly does Rhonda a solid by covering her when she ruins her mom's expensive coat, he more or less blackmails the little aristocrat into pretending to be his girlfriend. Ew!

Harold loses to Patty in an arm-wrestling match – twice – before asking her for some training in “Harold vs. Patty”. A pretty weird version of the father/son dynamic appears in “Rich Guy,” when Arnold catches a hockey puck bound for wealthy team owner Sammy Redman's head and becomes. Here's a REAL million-dollar idea, Sammy: Repair your relationship with your own dang son first! If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

If today's guest had an Arnie, she might be named Anna: Hannah Borenstein returns for another Stoop Kidz! double-header! We meet more of Arnie's friends, who look and sound suspiciously like the kids of Hillwood, in “Arnold Visits Arnie”: Lulu, Hilda, and Arnie reflect some of Arnold's deepest anxieties. Hot tip: Maybe don't go see a movie called Evil Twin 3 when you have a weird cousin who kinda looks like you. Then, Arnold puts his do-goodery to work helping Chocolate Boy address his well-known vice in “Chocolate Boy”!

Charlie realized that not being a guest on Stoop Kidz! isn't so cool after all, so she climbed up to our window, built a giant slingshot, put on a pizza delivery disguise, and straight-up BEGGED to be back on! Actually, that's just what Harold does to get back into school in “Suspended”. Not even the school constitution can help lift Harold's weeks-long ban from school! Short guy Ernie just wants a tall wife in “Ernie in Love,” but he gets a little overzealous in dating Lola. She's just not that into him, and they'd look strange together, and you can't really talk about attraction in a kids' cartoon – but there might be a positive message to read in Ernie and Lola's tryst, and we wanted to get to the heart of it!

It all started a hundred years ago, in 1923… actually, it started in March 2023 when we recorded this episode with Niky Horowitz! Hillwood's urban legends take a turn for the tragically romantic when Arnold and friends learn of the Ghost Bride (and her philandering sister!) in “Ghost Bride”. Nike's back for their second Jamie O.-centric episode with “Gerald vs. Jamie O.,” which pits brother against brother in Gerald's bid for the attention of pretty teenager Chloe.

Welcome yet another Csuy to the podcast – Ryan Csuy makes his debut on the stoop! In “Beaned,” Helga develops traumatic amnesia (watch out for that baseball!), igniting Arnold's caretaker instincts. It's so nice that even after she recovers, Helga pretends she's still out of it just to get more attention from Arnold without having to say she wants it. An old rivalry is given new life in “Old Iron Man” when former coworker and friend-turned-boss man Jimmy Kafka resurfaces in Grandpa's life. Can they put aside their differences or will they succumb to old man anger?

YOU FORGOT YOUR MOUSTACHE!!! Dan Nagan (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) is back! “Helga's Locket” is a lot like “Helga Blabs It All,” except instead of a voicemail, she's trying to prevent Arnold from reading the confessional inscription on a love locket she made! Grandpa gets ahold of it but can't open it, leading to a convoluted series of events that keeps it JUST out of Helga's reach. Depending on how you look at it, it's either too plain or it reaches Simpsons levels of goofy cartoonishness! In “Sid and Germs”, the Beatle-booted boy develops a sudden germophobia on the cusp of Hillwood's prestigious frog-catching contest. It's an episode that puts Sid BACK in full paranoia mode, which isn't his worst mode, tbh.

Arnold, Harold, and Eugene get stuck in a tree in “Stuck in a Tree” and Chocolate Boy may be their only hope. Heaven help them! Rhonda gets a taste of working class living conditions (Sunset Arms) when Daddy Lloyd's stocks go bunko in “Rhonda Goes Broke”! It all wraps up pretty conveniently, before Rhonda has time to learn a whole lot, which is kind of how it works for rich people in real life, too.

DUDE! Wolfgang meets his match when the new kid, Ludwig, attempts to take over his turf – the hallowed vacant lot – in “New Bully on the Block”. Phoebe's finally had it with Helga's bossing around in “Phoebe Breaks a Leg,” leading the people-pleasing mathlete to take drastic measures just to get out from under Helga's thumb – faking a broken leg! Her secret can't last forever, of course. In this episode, we discuss where Helga and Phoebe's relationship is before and after the incident!

Drew's back and he's carrying exactly $3,937 cash in a bag! (Or is it just a bunch of birdseed?) When Arnold, Gerald, and Sid find a bag filled with thousands of dollars in “Bag of Money”, it kicks off a nightmarish plot of distrust and cynicism among the friends. It's one of the most infamous episodes of Hey Arnold!, up there with “Arnold Betrays Iggy” as an episode nobody really likes! Why's that? Tune in! Mr. Wartz is OUT and Mr. Simmons is IN – as principal! – in “Principal Simmons”! When the crochety principal finally caves to criticism, the genteel educator steps into his shoes, but he doesn't really like what he finds. Yelling at kids all day long ain't exactly easy, y'know.

Gerald gets a little bit too into The King Rules, a card game, in “Gerald's Game”. It becomes a bit of a point of shame, prompting Arnold to (you guessed it) intervene to get his friend back. How necessary was that? Why couldn't two best friends just learn to play a game together? Listen in to find out! It's a boys' weekend in “Fishing Trip” when Arnold, Gerald, Sid, Harold, and Eugene get together with their fathers and Grandpa for some lakeside bonding. It's a fun, flatulent episode of Hey Arnold! that ALMOST becomes a smart critique of masculine inability to communicate.

Velcome back to Season 5 of Stoop Kidz! and Hey Arnold! Ze final season kicks off vith a vonderfully vacky tale of… mistaken identity. Is Stinky a creature of ze night just because he vears sunglasses, hates garlic, and looks forvard to ze blood drive? In “Sid the Vampire Slayer,” Sid certainly seems to think so! Can Arnold talk his beetle-booted buddy out of his delusion? The ever-charming Olga is back in “Big Sis,” only this time, she's taken Lila under her wing. Helga barely has time to revel in her newfound distance from her sister before she develops a jealousy for Little Miss Perfect, threatening the already tenuous bond Helga feels for her older sister.

Arnold and Helga end up at the same beach resort for what's supposed to be a relaxing summertime getaway. But before Helga can put Operation Be Nice to Arnold into action, Summer (the girl) comes calling for Arnold, threatening to ruin Helga's whole summer (the season). Helga warns a smitten Arnold that the bombshell isn't all that she seems, but given their contentious relationship, Arnold isn't quite ready to believe Helga. Some episodes of Hey Arnold! feel cursed – like despite top-tier writing talent and a great premise, they still miss the mark and leave a terrible taste behind. “Summer Love” is one of those rare strange episodes that just doesn't sit right. In this episode, the Kidz mull over the implications of this fateful summer vacation, the strange side-plots that litter the beach, and why this one feels worse than sand in your swim shorts.

“Here lies Dino Spumoni,” lies a lying tombstone for the low-rent Sinatra himself! Hoping to see a postmortem popularity bump, Dino Spumoni fakes his death and moves back to Sunset Arms, where he grew up. The spoof works arguably too well, and in typical Hey Arnold! fashion, Dino gets exactly what he wants in the exact way he doesn't want it: Impersonators fill the Dino-shaped hole, leaving Dino second-guessing his simulated suicide.

Charlie Mackin stops by to discuss one of the most important episodes of Hey Arnold! and a classic in its own right! “Helga on the Couch” is remembered as an episode that changed everything for Helga. An outburst like any other turns into school-mandated therapy sessions with Dr. Bliss, a child psychologist assigned to PS 118. On the couch (and in the chair and behind the dart board and pacing the room), Helga comes to terms (almost accidentally) with the love she feels for Arnold, tying it directly to the love Big Bob and Miriam gave to Olga instead of her. It's a climactic episode that provides serious catharsis for Helga and the audience alike, while managing to keep the tension of Helga's secret taut as ever. Also, Baby Arnold forever.

Hannah Borenstein is back to tackle two more classic eps with the Kidz! Helga's ruse goes awry in “Helga's Masquerade” when she mimics Lila to earn Arnold's affection, only to earn it for the wrong reasons. Local politics have kept necessary road repairs at bay for too long, so Mr. Green seeks a seat on the Hillwood City Council in “Mr. Green Runs.” It's an episode that highlights the types of people who become powerful at a local level, being a self-styled voice of the people, and what it means to become part of the civic machine.

Grandpa Phil and his twin sister, Mitzi, don't get along. Like, at all. With beef that goes back decades, can Arnold insert himself as mediator before the fraternal feud boils over into disaster in “Grandpa's Sister”? In “Synchronized Swimming,” Coach Wittenberg wants to show Arnold, Gerald, Harold, Stinky, and Stinky that synchronized swimming isn't just for girls. (And save his job.) In the process, he gives them a place to express themselves and their emotions through water-based dance.

Our own superhero Seth Zarate (https://twitter.com/snzarate) is back to assist the weak and downtrodden with another guest appearance! It wouldn't be another day in Hillwood without another vigilante realizing he doesn't fit in with “normal” society! In “Monkeyman!,” Monkeyman gets a taste of everyday life with Arnold's help – but the simian superhero finds it hard to let go of his apelike adventurousness. In “Buses, Bikes, and Subways,” Helga and Harold have to find a way back to town after the bus strands them on a field trip. It's called “intermodal transportation,” kids, and Helga will leverage any means she can to get back in time for WrestleMania. Also, Cody's never had a banana split??????????????

In “Helga Sleepwalks,” a poor choice (eating only pork rinds for days on end) has bad consequences for Helga – namely, her somnambulant confessions of love for Arnold! It's one of the first episodes where she really starts to recognize how holding in her feelings is affecting her. In “Fighting Families,” Arnold, Grandpa, Grandma, and a couple of the boarders make a game show appearance and they don't compare favorably to the prim and proper nuclear family on the other team. This being Hey Arnold!, though, you know it's gonna end well for Arnold and his weird found family. If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Welcome Dan Nagan of Everything We Learned (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) back to the stoop! Arnie, Arnold's country bumpkin cousin, is a bit of a chad. Such is Arnold's plight in “Weird Cousin,” which has big ENEMY (2013) vibes. In “Baby Oskar,” there's a baby named Oskar and Oskar Kokoshka, who is not a baby but often acts like one, has to take care of the baby named Oskar. Hope that's clear enough for ya.

New kid Dylan Guerber shows up on time for his first episode of Stoop Kidz! Grandpa never finished grade school, so the ever-helpful Arnold brings him to PS 118 for some remedial education in “Back to School”. In “Egg Story,” Arnold goes on the defensive before Helga can lay into him during a class project, unaware she was going to give the whole ‘being nice' thing a try.

Grandpa has until Sunday to train for a game of golf against Big Bob, and the loser's on the hook for damages after their contentious fender bender. With a big bill on the line, can Arnold whip Grandpa into golfing shape before tee time in “Grudge Match”? Big Patty and Rhonda get some facetime in “Polishing Rhonda,” where the young socialite risks getting kicked out of finishing school for her self-centeredness.

Fashion designer Johnny Stitches discovers Helga's hidden talent for the runway and makes her the new “It Girl”. The more she leans into her prickly persona, the more the crowd loves it. But she's not a fan of having her ‘natural' meanness, nastiness, and insensitivity co-opted by everyone in town, so she starts looking for an out. Arnold is separated from his own essential self (a nosy, do-gooder fount of advice) in “Deconstructing Arnold,” when his friends implore him to stop being such a kibitzer (that's Yiddish for ‘big, fat buttinski'). It's not long before several moments of crisis have them yearning for his avuncular advice, but Helga steps in to fill the gap – and her suggestions turn P.S. 118 a bit of an amoral bedlam.

Drew "Not a Himbo" Tenenbaum returns to Stoop Kidz! Helga seeks to ruin Arnold and Lila's time at the Cheese Festival in “Love and Cheese,” a sort of slant-sequel to “Operation Ruthless.” Then Harold's size is suddenly the talk of the town in “Weighing Harold,” in which he gains weight on a trip where he was trying to lose it.

It's a weird pair of episodes on this edition of Stoop Kidz! Helga's pet parrot might squawk her deepest secrets in “Helga's Parrot,” leading her on a wild bird chase across Hillwood that ends in the most natural, traumatizing way possible. As ‘future Chocolate Lads,' Arnold and Gerald make money hand over fist to raise money for a go-kart in “Chocolate Turtles,” only to find themselves on the losing end of their own capitalist charade.

Dan Nagan (https://twitter.com/adapperdanman) is lurking in the background, ready to getcha when you least expect it! The kids of Hillwood start to wonder if a local myth is real as the coincidences pile up in “Headless Cabbie”. If you haven't seen it, imagine the Hash-Slinging Slasher from SpongeBob. In “Friday the 13th,” Arnold and Gerald investigate another string of coincidences that seem just too perfect to be real… Find Dan and listen to his movie podcast, Everything We Learned, at the links below: - https://twitter.com/adapperdanman/ - https://letterboxd.com/adapperdanman/ - Everything We Learned on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everything-we-learned/id1184071273 - If you play Final Fantasy XIV, find Dan on the Diablo server as “Hulk Smashworth” If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Class is in session and Slate editor Allegra Frank is taking her seat! In “The Beeper Queen,” we get to see Helga's relationship with her mom in a new light when Miriam takes over for Big Bob at the beeper store before the business gets the better of them both. Then in “Oskar Can't Read?”, reading isn't the only thing Mr. Kokoshka learns – he also learns some self-reliance!

Niky Horowitz comes back for a Season 4 debut! Sid has to choose between Arnold and a shady-but-friendly mob boss in “Big Gino.” In “Jamie O in Love,” Gerald's older brother drops the antagonistic act when he falls for a girl, but it turns out her interest isn't genuine, leaving Gerald to decide if he should let the phony tryst go forward.

When Sid, Harold, and Stinky are accused (correctly) of mooning Principal Wartz in “Full Moon,” Arnold could get a permanent mark on his record for keeping his trap shut. “Student Teacher” sees the return – and weird, unceremonious departure – of Helga's least favorite sister-turned-sub.

Helga's scheme to impress her friends by taking them out for some fine dining goes wrong when she runs up a bill at the wrong restaurant in “Dinner for Four”. Luckily, her beloved Football Head is there to steer her out of the moral quandary – even if it means a night of washing dishes to pay it all back. Helga and Phoebe rediscover just how inseparable they are when the brainiac decides to advance to the sixth grade in “Phoebe Skips”: Helga is left sidekick-less, Phoebe is adrift without Helga's brash defensiveness, and they're both left without a best friend.

In this discussion, we cover the ongoing role-trading Eugene and Arnold do as ‘the jinx' and how Arnold's best intentions always seem to backfire with his fallible friend.

Hopefully this season of Stoop Kidz! has helped you get into the 1998 mood! To get us the rest of the way there, we're taking an episode to reminisce about one of the heavy-hitting tastemakers of the compact disc-based, pre-streaming age: Now That's What I Call Music! The first U.S. volume of Now came out the same year as season 3 of Hey Arnold!, so we invited friend of the show and pop music fan Seth to go track-by-track through the sound of 1998. We recall memories associated with these songs, all the hits, all the misses, and then pick our favorites and least favorites from the whole volume. Songs discussed in this episode: Janet Jackson - “Together Again” The Backstreet Boys - “As Long as You Love Me” Fastball - “The Way” Harvey Danger - “Flagpole Sitta” The Spice Girls - “Say You'll Be There” K-Ci & JoJo - “All My Life” All Saints - “Never Ever” Tonic - “If You Could Only See” Hanson - “MMMBop” Cherry Poppin' Daddies - “Zoot Suit Riot” Imajin - “Shorty (You Keep Playin' With My Mind) (feat.

At long last, Seth (https://twitter.com/snzarate) is back on the stoop! Arnold and Helga dance around their complicated relationship yet again in “Girl Trouble,” where Helga's thinly veiled love for the football headed kid comes to a head during a group project in history class. Helga's ribbing pushes Arnold to his breaking point, earning him detention and some much-needed humility, as Grandpa parallels their tumultuous relationship with one he had with a young girl named Gertie back in the day… Arnold's in charge of entertainment for the school dance in “School Dance,” and much to the chagrin of his schoolmates, he's picked oldhead favorite and crooner Dino Spumoni for one last swing.

With another season of the show under our belts, it's time to look back with a quick recap! Season 3 was full of surprises, laughs, new characters, and some of the most heart-wrenching episodes of Hey Arnold! yet. In this episode, we unpack our personal highlights from the entire season – from individual moments to whole episodes – along with our favorite podcast discussions. Also, Cody gets to thirst over Lorenzo's mom a little more and we all remember everyone's favorite flirtatious, pizza-loving go-kart king, Giuseppe.

We're thankful, all right – for Hey Arnold!, for our listeners, and for superproducer Jason Dafnis (https://twitter.com/nintendufus), who's stepping out from behind the soundboard to celebrate Thanksgiving in May with the rest of the Stoop Kidz! Hey Arnold! kind of has its knives out for Turkey Day. At Sunset Arms, the boarders all go along with Grandma's delusion that it's actually the Fourth of July, and Arnold doesn't love that it doesn't look like a traditional Thanksgiving. At the Pataki household, on the other hand, it couldn't be a more traditional affair: the whole family gathered around the table, a smorgasbord of food, and football on the TV. But because her family's got plenty of issues that keep them from really connecting, Helga doesn't like her holiday any more than Arnold likes his. United in disillusion, they both think they'll find the meaning of Thanksgiving at Mr. Simmons's house, where he's gathered all his loved ones – only to be surprised (and a little depressed) at what they find there. It's a charged episode and we dig right in and ask for seconds! We touch on how the show lampoons the colonialist myth of Thanksgiving, Mr. Simmons's increasingly obvious queerness, what the Thanksgiving experience does to Helga and Arnold's relationship, and how the episode almost doesn't stick the landing.
