About this episode

Welcome back, Stoopkid Crew! Season 9 kicks off with a bang as we dive into our first episode, and I am so excited to have you all back on the Stoop! It's summer, and we're celebrating with stories, adventures, and valuable lessons just for you. 

In this episode, join McKinley as she navigates the ups and downs of friendship at her family's epic 4th of July cookout. From delicious food and water balloon fights to unexpected feelings of being left out, McKinley's story is one we can all relate to. When her new summer program friends, Amber and Jas, don't show up as promised, McKinley learns the hard way that not everyone is as they seem.

Listen in as McKinley bravely confronts her friends and stands up for herself, showing us all the importance of honesty and self-respect. Her mom's wise words remind us that true friends keep it real, and we should too.

Tune in for a heartfelt episode filled with summer vibes, life lessons, and the strength of standing up for yourself. Don't miss out on the fun and the wisdom in "4th of You Lie!"
