Bob the Pickle Penguin has one every pickle-eating contest What If World has ever had. Can Potty the Pirate defeat the bobbing inflatable pickle-absorbing balloon penguin in a pickle-eating contest?

Ezra asks: What if you took a vacation in a sandcastle with a crab?
Fred the Dog, JFKat, and Abacus P. Grumbler fly to Why-Why-E to enjoy a vacation. But there own crabbiness gets in the way of them having fun. Lessons include: sometimes we need to endure something unpleasant to get to do something we really enjoy; when we let out our emotions in a healthy way, they’ll eventually pass or change, and that’s okay, too. Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear Miss Lynn’s song, “Itty Bitty Nitty Gritty” from her album “Something New.” This song helped inspire today’s episode. Our family loves Miss Lynn’s music and we hope you enjoy it, too!

Joss asks: What if all my friends teamed up to save the sun?
Our Earth Day special is tying up some loose ends from a story long ago, which ended with the sun getting stolen! Too bad most of What If World is SOLAR POWERED… but maybe that’s the least of their troubles. Can Petrina, Abacus, JFKat, and Mr. Mouser get the sun back from the clutches of the not-so-dreaded Phoenix Taco?!

Seth asks: What if there were 54 JFKats?
Harrigo’s singing gets the attention of some of What If World’s more musical characters, but working (or singing) together in harmony is harder than it looks (or sounds)! Lessons include: Group activities can be fun and inclusive if we’re not always trying to run the show; plastic glitter is a microplastic but there are lots of nature-safe biodegradable glitter options out there.
