Oh, Guy Raz, now I kind of want to listen to the show.
Well, you're in luck, Mindy.
Roll the clips.
Roll clips?
Yes, I love clips.
We're rolling.
Let me see your nose here, Guy Raz.
What?
Oh, Mindy!
Okay, so inside your nose, way up there through your nostrils, are about 400 different odor-detecting receptors.
Now let's count them.
One, two, three, four... Mindy, get your fingers out of my nose!
Okay, Guy Raz, so how exactly does a space elevator work?
I mean, What does it even look like?
Well, it sort of looks like a giant version of those two tin cans with a piece of string between them.
You know that we use to talk to each other sometimes.
Oh yeah, my guy phone X Right, it kind of looks like that, with one end attached to a giant platform out at sea and the other one way up in space orbiting the planet.
Huh, like a satellite?
Exactly like a satellite.
And so what would the string be made of?
It's called carbon nanotube composition ribbon.
Carbonano what who-ins?
Carbon nanotube composite ribbon.
It's a type of cable that's incredibly strong, but also All right.
Let me just open up the blinds here so we can see the black hole with our own.
They're all messed up.
Can't get these things to open evenly.
I'm all tangled up in them.
There.
Man, I knew we shouldn't have put mini blinds in this thing.
Whoa.
What?
Mindy, what was that?
I think the time machine is somehow still moving.
I think the gravity from the black hole is dragging us in.
OK.
Don't panic.
Quickly, Mindy, before we get stretched out like a piece of spaghetti.
Um, I think, um, wait, I know.
Hang on one second.
I need to go grab something from downstairs.
Downstairs?
Wait.
Be right back.
This time machine has two floors?
Wait, was that it?
Was that all the clips?
I want more.
Give me the clips!
Well, Mindy, if you subscribe to Wow in the World on your podcast app, you'll never miss an episode.
Oh, man, I'm gonna listen to the one about how birds evolved to fly.
No, wait, maybe the dinosaurs with dandruff.
They've got one unexploding ant here, Guy Raz.
Climate change wombat poop?
What?
Uh... I don't know what you've been doing in a go-bunny.
Uh, uh, Mindy, uh, Mindy?
This theme song is bonger balls!
Ugh, anyway...
You can find Wow in the World on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, Guy Raz.
I'm listening to the one about how to talk to dogs, scientifically speaking.
That's great, Mindy.
Keep on wowing.
Oh, boy.
Wow.
