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 7pm 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!
It's Wee Wow Week!
Season's eating, Wowzers of the world!
I was just swinging by to pick you up.
Wow, I love the way you've decorated the wow on wheels.
It's so festive.
Aw, thanks.
You know, I was afraid the living reindeer might be a bit too much.
But then I remembered how the reindeer could probably use the work after last year, so I wanted to give them a job.
Uh, huh?
Hey, Smasher!
Nixon!
How you two doing up there?
Uh, you think maybe those reindeer could use a little break?
Mm, good idea, Guy Raz.
Um, hey, why don't you two come down here and take five?
I'm just gonna park in here for a bit.
Go chew on some of that green grass over there.
Well, they seem nice, Mindy.
Yeah, and they're loving all the green grass around here.
Well, is that a problem?
Kinda.
It's the holidays, Guy Raz.
I'm all ready to bundle up in some winter wonderland weather, and we just don't have any of it here right now.
That is true.
We haven't had much cold weather yet, but that's not so bad.
Well, it is if you want to build a snowman.
Oh, well, you can still do that.
I can?
Mindy, the Wowmobile is a nice cream truck, remember?
Oh, yeah.
And you know what ice cream trucks have lots of?
All those funny pointy little sugar cones that we can put on our heads like hats and pretend that we're really tall elves.
Uh, well, yeah, that.
And ice.
Ice!
Yes, we've got shaved ice in the freezer with the ice cream.
Snow is basically just frozen water vapor, so we can use the ice like snow and make snowmen or snow people or snow animals.
Or frozen ice crystal humanoids.
Exactly.
Snow beans.
This is a great idea, Guy Raz.
Here.
Come on.
Get inside so we can start building.
OK.
Great.
I'll get the ice.
Shave, shave, shave, shave.
Chip, chip, chip.
Here we go.
Thank you.
All right.
Let's see here.
Voila!
That should do it.
What do you think, Mindy?
Aw, you made a little snow cat with a stubby tail.
That's not a cat, Mindy.
That's a dog.
Uh... It's a schnauzer?
Maybe, if I squint Mindy, it looks exactly like the one I had when I was just a wee little Guy Raz.
Her name was Desdemona.
Wow, that's the first snow schnauzer I've ever seen, Guy Raz.
Banks, what are you working on?
I don't really know.
I couldn't decide, so I kind of made a mishmash.
Huh, wow, the green head was a bold choice.
We were running low on shaved ice, so I used mint chocolate chip ice cream for the head.
And it does seem to have a lot of eyes and arms, especially for a snow thing.
It actually kind of reminds me of a statue I saw in Mumbai.
It has sort of a... Uh, Guy Raz?
Yes?
Is your ice schnauzer housebroken?
What do you mean?
You know, potty trained?
Uh um, not sure i understand.
Well look, there's a puddle forming underneath her.
I think she might be peeing.
Oh oh no mindy, she's just melting what already?
Well yeah, i mean, that's the thing about snow creatures.
Eventually they melt, man.
I was just getting to know mr snow thing here.
I don't want him to melt away and disappear.
Well, he's not going to disappear.
I mean, not really.
He will if I accidentally eat his mint chocolate chip ice cream head, Guy Raz.
I just mean that when things melt, they don't disappear.
They just change form.
Change form.
Huh.
Wait a minute.
There was science happening here the whole time?
That's right.
So when something melts, it doesn't really go away.
It just changes.
Kind of like us humans when we grow.
Exactly.
Well, goodbye, Mr. Snow Thing.
Sorry about the extra arms.
Hope you enjoy being a liquid.
And goodbye to you, Desdemona.
It was a brief visit, and although you were frozen, it did warm my heart to see you again.
Uh, do you two need a moment?
Uh, no, um, no.
I'm good.
You know Guy Raz...
Maybe a collection of shape-shifting snow beings should be our next exhibit in the Wow on Wheels.
I like the way you're thinking.
Let's fire this puppy up and alert the Wowzers of the world of our new scam.
I mean, plan.
And here we go!
Wee Wow will be right back.

Attention wowzers of the world.
It's your old pals Mindy and Guy Razzi here in the Wow on Wheels.
A rolling thunder of wow and wonder.
We're looking for some awe-inspiring, shape-shifting snow beings to add to our mini museum of wow in the back here.
And that's where you come in.
Today, we ask you to create your own frozen snow dogs, snow hogs, snow babies, or snow buddies.
You can make them out of ice cubes, shaved ice, ice cream, or actual snow if you can get it.
Once you've created your frozen snow, being Carefully observe as it transforms from a solid to a liquid.
See if you can speed up the process by adding a sprinkle of salt or some heat, or maybe slow it down by re-freezing it in between melts.
And when you finish, be sure to share it with us.
Grown-ups.
You can upload pictures and videos of your awe-inspiring creations at tinkercastcom.
Slash shares.
