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.

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.

It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo!
Remember tonight is sleep like sharks night, so we got to keep our eyes open and be moving at all times, just like sharks.
The whole camp is doing it.
You know, I would, Mindy, but most humans can't sleep with their eyes open, and I'm just so tired.
Keep those eyes open, Guy Raz.
Sharks don't have eyelids.
Oh, no.
Reggie, hand me my pliers.
This'll help you keep your eyes open, Guy Raz.
Okay, Mindy, I'm up.
I'm up.
That's the Shark Week spirit I'm looking for.
Camp Wee Wow is an awesome place.
Physics, biology, and outer space.
Science explorers with our headquarters.
No, Dennis.
Here at Camp Wee Wow, Welcome back, campers.
It's Shark Week here at Camp WeWow.
I'm your camp counselor, Guy Raz.
And I ate a raw potato.
You what?
I mean, I'm Mindy.
And this week's shark-tivities are all inspired by our Wow in the World episode, Scaredy Sharks and the Science of Fear.
It's day three of Shark Week and today we're going to get moving with a little game of sharks and minnows.
But before we begin, Dennis would like to share with you some tips.
Camp Tips.
Dennis?
Attention campers!
It's me, Dennis, with Camp Tips and Tricks.
This week, fishing tips.
Reggie, I know I'm a terrible fisherman.
I'm not talking about fishing for fish.
I'm talking about fishing for compliments.
It's true.
I'm an expert compliment fisher.
For example...
If you're hungry for a compliment, just loudly yell something like ugh, my hair looks so awful today.
Exactly.
That's the bait.
And if you yell loudly and pathetically enough, people will start to wander over and tell you things like no, that's not true.
Your hair looks great.
And boom, a delicious compliment.
Reggie, it's not manipulative.
Okay, maybe it's a little manipulative.
And that concludes this week's Camp Tips and Tricks.
Dennis, over and out.
All right.
Great.
Thanks, Dennis.
Now we're going to head over to the Wee Wow pool and get started on our craft for today.
But before we walk over, we've got the Wow Cow here with another shark fact to share with you.
Wow Cow, take it away.
I'm back with another fact about sharks.
While you may think that all the sharks are big and scary, that's not really the case.
In fact, there's a type of shark called the dwarf lantern shark that reaches a maximum of 20 centimeters in length.
That's not much longer than a hot dog.
And there's more where that came from.
Campers, we'll be right back with camp.
Wee wow grownups, this message is for moo.

Welcome to the Camp Wee-Wow Pool.
It's Shark Week and to celebrate our big, toothy friends of the sea, Guy Razzi and I are going to be playing a little game of Sharks and Minnows.
Now, if you've never played Sharks and Minnows before, it's a lot like playing a game of tag.
But unlike a game of tag, you bring your own shark.
Campers, meet Brucie the shark.
Ah!
You aren't supposed to invite sharks.
Guy Raz, it says right here on the camp itinerary for today, play sharks and minnows, B-Y-O-S.
Bring your own shark.
No, B-Y-O-S, bring your own swimsuit, as in swimsuit.
Oh, well, I feel like that could have been worded a little bit more clearly.
Now, if you'll excuse me, Guy Raz, it's time for me to wade into these waters over here.
Mindy.
There's a shark in the pool.
Cannonball!
India, are you okay?
Oh, yeah, I'm great.
Just getting acquainted with my new shark friend, Brucie, over here.
High five.
Okay.
Okay campers, I think this is a good time for a quick reminder and I can't believe I'm saying this but do not try to befriend the sharks.
Wait, Mindy, are you trying to ride on the back of the shark?
Trying?
How about I already am?
Cowabunga!
Can you get Brucey the shark?
Yee-haw!
Woo-hoo-hoo!
I'm riding a shark!
I'm a shark bag rider!
You know what, campers?
Why don't we put a hold on the sharks and minnows game until the waters are not shark-infested, and I'll see if I can get Mindy out of the water.
You'll never catch me!
Mindy!
Well, that was fun.
No, that was extremely dangerous.
It was that, too.
Anyhoo, now our camp mascot, the Wow Cow, is about to hold a press conference about the Camp WeWow Canteen.
A press conference?
We don't have any members of the press here.
Uh, Guy Raz, then who are all those people with the press badges on then?
Oh, uh, well, I guess I stand corrected.
Members of the press.
Campers, Mindy, Guy, I come to you today with an important update about the canteen.
At this time, we will no longer be selling dairy products at the canteen.
As some of you may have heard, I, the wild cow, have a dairy allergy.
And frankly, I'm very upset about it.
It explains a lot of the sneezing and itches I get whenever I eat a yogurt or hand a customer their ice cream.
And don't even mention cheese.
But it's all very disappointing.
I appreciate your understanding during this difficult season of my mascot life.
And there will be no further questions at this time.
Thank you.
Where did all these people come from? for Camp WeWow.
That's just about all the time we have for now, but before we go, we challenge you to a game of sharks and minnows.
But this time, without the actual sharks.
To play sharks and minnows.
You need either some outdoor or indoor space to run around, or even a pool, if you have access to one.
Before you start the game, you must choose one player to be the shark.
The role of the shark is a lot like the role of the person who is it in a game of tag.
Then the rest of the players are the minnows.
While the minnows try to stay away from the shark, the shark's goal is to try to tag one of the minnows.
And when the shark finally tags a minnow, that player turns into a shark.
So get moving, campers.
Grownups.
You can share pictures and videos of your campers game with us at tinkercastcom.
Slash share.
