Hey, Wowzer fans, Mindy here.
And before we start the show, I gotta let you know that this November, with a special new episode featuring our friends at Circle Round and Terrestrials on Radiolab for Kids,
And don't miss when Elmo from Sesame Street stops by Wow in the World to make us all belly laugh on November 24th.
Oh, but that's not all, Reg.
On December 1st, we are sharing our 250th episode of Wow in the World with all of you.
We think this one is going to be music to your ears.
Literally.
Did I mention it's a musical?
And if you're a member of the World Organization of Wowzers...
Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you.
You can listen to our 250th episode early with me and other members from around the world on Saturday, November 22nd, at 7 pm.
Eastern.
That's right, we are throwing another listening party.
Join us as we dance along to our new songs.
React to the episode with other members in the chat and more.
Grownups.

It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo!
What is going on over here?
Oh, hey, Guy Raz.
I was up all night training all of the camp wee-wow fleas a ton of circus tricks.
I'm going to surprise the campers later.
Circus tricks for fleas?
Oh, yeah.
And Reggie's been hand-sewing them sparkly little costumes.
Look at this little number.
Whoa.
It's so cute and tiny.
And inside this circus tent here...
Whoa, that's a really small circus tent.
Yeah well, inside this miniature circus tent, you'll get to witness all of the fleas juggling crumbs flying through the air on a tiny trapeze made from dental floss and a toothpick jumping through a tiny ring of fire.
That sounds like a real flea ring circus, all right.
But do you think we could get back to this in a little while?
Because we kind of have a camp to run.
Sure, no problem.
I'll just dump the flea circus in my backpack for later.
Open.
Come on, get in there, get in there.
Uh... Zip it up.
Okay, ready for camp.
Ahem.
Camp Wee Wow is an awesome place.
Physics, biology, and outer space.
Science explorers with our headquarters.
No, Dennis.
Here at Camp Wee Wow.
Okay, that's enough.
Hey, G4s.
Hey, Larry, follow us.
Welcome back to Camp WeWow, the invisible summer camp for science explorers everywhere.
It's Bug Week, inspired by our Wow in the World episode, The Karate Kickin' Cockroach.
Now, before we get into today's camp activities, Dennis would first like to share with us some minutiae.
What?
Attention, campers.
Tis I, Dennis.
Because it's Bug Week, I'm here to bug you with some minutia.
The word minutia is derived from a Latin word meaning small details, like little bugs scuttling about.
So here's my morning minutia.
My day began like any other, waking up at precisely 6.43 AM.
The temperature, 72 degrees Fahrenheit, or 22 degrees Celsius, depending on where you're from.
Standing up from my bed, I began to do my morning stretches.
First, my hands up, then down to my shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Then, still yawning, I put on my silk robe.
Now, I know what you're all thinking.
Isn't it too humid for a silk robe?
And yes, it is.
But I look amazing.
Next, I began the 57-step process of making my morning coffee.
Step one.
Filter 800 milliliters of fresh water through a fibrous matrix of activated carbon.
Step two.
Wait, what's that music?
Are you playing me off the stage like at an award show?
I wasn't done sharing my minutia.
No, wait, I have so much more minutia.
Yes, thank you for sharing, Dennis.
Now, campers, we're all going to head over to the game room for two what's and a cow.
But first, the Wow Cow has something to share with you.
Hey there, campers.
It's your favorite mascot, the Wow Cow.
And did you know that grasshoppers existed before dinosaurs?
Wow.
And there's more where that came from.
Can't wait, Wow.
We'll be right back.
Grownups back home, this message is for you.
Hey, grownups.
It's Mindy and Guy Raz here from Wow in the World.
Mindy and I have some problems.

All right, we're back and we're inside the game room ready for a special bug edition of Two What's and a Cow.
And, as an even specialer twist, the answer for today's round comes from our very own Camp Wee.
Wow mascot, the Wow Cow.
Hey, everybody.
Moo!
So without further ado, it's time for a bugging round of Two What's and a Cow.
Campers, we're going to give you three scientific statements about Bugs.
And only one of those statements will be a true wow.
The other two, just a couple of made-up what's.
Come on, let's do it.
Which of the following statements about bugs is the true wow?
Is it A, Even though it may not sound like it.
Based on their name, grasshoppers cannot hop very well.
Or is it B. Houseflies eat their own vomit.
Or C.
Is it C, butterflies never use the restroom.
And here with the winning wow is our own Camp WeWow mascot, the wow cow.
And the correct answer is B, houseflies eat their own vomit.
Winner, winner, housefly vomit for dinner.
Wow cow, that is correct.
Houseflies eat their own vomit.
When a housefly finds a tasty looking piece of food, before it eats it, it will throw up on it.
This is because housefly barf contains teeny tiny digestive enzymes that help break down the food.
The housefly then uses its sponge-like tongue to soak up the vomit so that it can get the nutrients it needs.
Amazing.
WowCow, why don't you tell our winning campers what they've won?
All of our winning campers get an autograph from me, the WowCow.
Those retail at 75 WowCoins, but I'll make an exception this time.
WowCampers, not all at once.
Single file, single file.
Wait, where did Mindy go?
Excuse me.
Well, there she is, fighting her way to the front of the line.
Walkout!
Wait for me!
Wait for me, Walkout!
I'm your biggest fan, Walkout!
Boo!
Walkout!
Walkout!
Hello, campers.
It's me, Thomas Fingerling, coming to you from the lost and found.
Last night, we found bedbugs.
Now, I don't remember anyone losing bedbugs, but doesn't matter.
We found them gonna go ahead and start fumigating the lost and found in order to lose the bed bugs again.
So make sure to keep your distance.
We'll be back and bed bug free tomorrow.
In the meantime, try not to lose anything as uh, there will be no place for it to be found.
Okay, thank you.
End transmission.
We had so much fun playing with you today.
And I got the wow cow's official autograph.
Look at this hoof guy, Roz.
Another exciting day at Camp WeeWow.
And now we want to challenge you to come up with your own insect edition of two what's and a wow.
Start digging, campers.
Do some research online or in books to see if you can uncover facts about bugs that wow you.
Remember, only one of those facts should be true.
The other two are entirely made up by you.
Grownups, you can send us photos and videos of your campers to What's in a Cow Games to us at tinkercast.com slash share.
And don't forget to call in with a story about a bug you found in an unusual place.
Our phone number is 1-888-7WOW-WOW.
And who knows, maybe your story will be shared at tomorrow's Camp WeWOW campfire.
Well, that's all for now.
Campers, who wows?
We wow!
