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.
If you want your wowzer to join this members-only listening party, you can sign up to become a member today at Tinkercastcom.

That's it.
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.
Hey, Guy Ross.
Oh, no.
Oh, hey, Mindy.
Happy holidays.
I was just stopping by to see if you were ready for our secret seasonal someone gift exchange.
Well, sure, I suppose.
I mean, it's all right with me, but shouldn't we wait for the others?
Oh. see them later.
But I can't wait another minute to tell you that I'm your secret seasonal someone, Guy Raz.
It's me.
You are?
That's great.
I know.
You really lucked out.
Last year, Grandma G-Force got me a gift card to Thomas Fingerling's knuckle-cracking nutcracker performance.
Pretty sure it was a re-gift.
No, no.
I mean, that's great because I am your secret seasonal someone, too.
No, no.
Yes.
And to be honest, I was a little nervous I was going to get Reggie.
You know how hard he is to shop for.
Tell me about it.
That bird's got everything.
Well, anyway, here you go.
Merry season.
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
It's a sweater.
Well, not just any sweater, Mindy.
This particular sweater is a hypoallergenic organic, handmade pullover made by the village elders of the Watumatumbe Valley.
And the purchase of each sweater provides the whole village with Wi-Fi for an entire month.
So you're doing good while you look good.
Wow.
It's such an interesting color.
Exactly.
What do you call it?
Brown.
Oh.
It also comes in beige, but I don't know.
That felt a little too bland, you know?
This is so thick.
Thoughtful guy, Roz.
Thank you so much.
And now it's my turn to give you your gift.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Now go ahead.
Open it up.
I'm opening it, Mindy.
Just be a little patient.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see here.
You know, you could just... I got it.
I got it.
I just want to be careful.
You know, you could just rip it.
Just...
Pull the paper off.
Just don't be afraid to tear it.
Do you need any help?
No, it's okay.
I got it, Mindy.
No problem.
Okay, I can't stand this any longer.
Guy Raz, let me have it.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Wow, you got me a sweater, too.
What a coincidence.
This is really amazing, Mindy.
Where did you get it?
Oh, I didn't get it.
I made it.
You made this?
Wow.
What is this material?
It's 100% wombling fur and it's self-heating.
Yeah, this is really something, Mindy.
I mean, it's... Wait, is this sweater...
Moving?
Oh, yeah.
Those are the womblings from my imagination.
I just let them out.
There are womblings in the sweater?
What?
No.
The womblings are the sweater.
I told you it was 100%.
So it's a living sweater?
Yes, of course it's a living sweater, Guy Raz.
You didn't think I was going to take the fur off those poor little womblings, did you?
No, of course not.
I just... Because that would be a terrible thing to do, especially in the winter, right?
Well, yeah, I guess.
Oh, and look, it even has a hood.
Oh, with a face.
Yeah.
Isn't it just so aggressively cute you could barf?
Yes, it's adorable.
Thank you so much, Mindy.
This really means a lot to me.
Oh, do you really like it?
Yes, uh...
What about you?
Do you like yours?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Do you want to trade?
Oh, yes, yes.
Wait, no.
No.
Okay, kind of.
Yeah, I think I know how you feel, but...
I also think you'll really come to like the sweater I got you.
I know I will, because every time I put it on it'll remind me a little bit of my best buddy, Guy Razzi.
That's exactly how I feel.
So, you want to keep yours?
Definitely, but I think I'll keep it in the garage or something.
Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
Hey, maybe we could take this wow on wheels on the road and get others to come up with some wow-inspired holiday sweater designs of their own.
Great!
Let me just go get my megaphone from the back and I'll be right back to make the announcement.
All right.
WeeWow will be right back.
Grownups, this message is for you.
