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.

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!
There you are, Mindy.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
Oh, sorry, Guy Raz.
I got a little tied up here in the cabin of bad ideas working on this experiment.
Well, you can tell me all about it in a moment, but first you have to help me find my plants.
They've all gone missing.
Uh, about that.
They were in my cabin last night.
The perfect shade of green.
And one of my succulents even just started blooming.
Blooming.
We were all so excited.
We?
Well, as in me and the other plants, Mindy.
Okay.
But now I can't find them anywhere.
Can you help me hang these missing plant flyers around the camp?
Oh, well, there's actually no need for that, Guy Raz.
Your plants are right here.
Ta-da!
Mindy, you stole my plants?
I didn't steal...
Steal your plants, Guy Raz.
I asked you last night if I could borrow them, remember?
Knock, knock, Guy Raz-y.
Hey buddy, I want to do a little experiment with your plants tomorrow, so if you're cool with that, just don't say a word.
Great.
Thanks, Guy Raz.
You're such a good friend.
Mindy, I was clearly asleep.
I know, I know, but check this out.
I've been playing this classical music for your plants all day long, and they love it.
They've even started playing their own classical music.
See?
Is that my orchid playing a violin?
Aren't you proud?
That's amazing, Mindy.
Do they take song requests?
Well, I'm sure these plants would take song requests, but unfortunately they've decided to start their own orchid straw and they're going to have to leave for tour.
Right now, actually.
What?
Have a great show, Guy Raz's plants.
Break a leaf.
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.
All right, follow me. the invisible summer camp for science explorers everywhere.
It's Music Week, inspired by our Wow in the World episode, Drop the Beat and Cut the Cheese.
Now, before we begin our game for today, Dennis would like to share an update about his production of Dennis the Musical.
Dennis?
Ahem.
Attention, campers.
In an unfortunate turn of events, Reggie has dropped out of Dennis the Musical and will no longer be playing the role of Guy Raz.
This was due in part because of creative differences and also because he couldn't fit his wings into the blue coat with elbow patches.
The Guy Raz costume is non-negotiable, Reggie!
At any rate, the role of Guy Raz has been recast, and I think you're all going to be very impressed with who we managed to get.
Reggie, quit pouting and give us a drumroll.
Thank you.
The role of Guy Raz will now be played by the remarkable, the amazing, the lord of the deads himself me, Dennis.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
You're not going to want to miss this, folks.
Dennis out.
But Guy Raz, aren't you the understudy for Guy Raz?
No, I am Guy Raz.
Well, not anymore, I guess.
All right, let's head on over to the game room to get started.
And while we're walking over, the Wow Cow is going to send a special message to the grown-ups back at home.
Camp Wee Wow will be right back.
Grown-ups, this message is for you.
Hey, grown-ups, it's Mindy and Guy Raz here from Wow in the World.
Mindy and I have some brand new Wow in the World toys.

Yet, from our 100 experiments, that wow kit, to the telescope and astronomy kit.
Our Wow in the World toys help your wowzer learn about their world through play.
Plus, you can hear exclusive audio content from me and Guy Raz to help your wowzer discover even more wows.
Grownups.

That's Tinkercast.com slash toys.
That's it.
Now back to camp.
And here we are in the game room.
So why don't we get started with our game today?
So Mindy, what are we going to play?
Guy Raz, we are introducing a brand new game.
It's called Is That an Animal Sound or Is That Just Mindy?
In this game we're going to play you short clips of music that either come from the sounds of animals or come from the sounds of Mindy.
Okay, Reggie, play the first clip for us.
Huh.
Okay, campers, it's time to lock in your answer.
Is that an animal sound or is that just Mindy?
Animal or Mindy?
Ooh, this is a tough one.
All right.
Are you ready for the answer?
Drum roll, please.
The answer is it's an animal.
That tweeting you just heard was from a group of Mexican tail bats.
Apparently, the male Mexican tail bats use their lovely music to find females near them.
They literally change their tune to keep the female bats interested.
Great job, campers.
Now it's time for the next round.
Reggie, cue the music.
Meow!
Meow!
Ooh, that's a tough one.
Is it, though?
Lock in your answers now, campers.
Is that an animal sound?
Or is that just me, Mindy?
And the answer is... No surprise here.
It's Mindy.
Yes!
Though I gotta say, I think... did stump a few people with that one.
Right.
And speaking of cows Mindy, did you know that some cows actually produce more milk when they're listening to classical music?
I think you mean music?
Okay.
Well, campers, we've got one more.
Reggie, why don't you play that sound?
Wait, Mindy, that's me.
I don't you get that clip?
I recorded some of the bird calls that you make in your sleep.
Reggie, if you'll play the old sparrow call recording.
Actually, why don't we save that for another day, Reggie?
Anyway, thank you to all of our contestants for playing with us on today's round of.
Is That an Animal Sound or Is That Just Mindy?
Or is it Guy Raz imitating a toucan?
No, it's not.
We'll be right back, campers.
Howdy there, Camp We Watchin' McCullochs.
It's me, Thomas Fingerling.
I'm over at the Lost and Found and I've just been informed that one of you campers I think it was Lucas or Chris, or maybe it was Shelby or something like that has lost their way.
So it's up to everyone out there to help find it.
Be on the lookout for this lost way and don't lose your own way in the process of looking for it.
As for me, I got my way right here.
Uh, where'd it go?
Uh oh, I lost my way too.
Okay everyone, please be on the lookout for two lost ways.
Oh boy, this is a real pickle.
I wonder which way my way went.
Campers, we had so much fun playing with all of you today.
You heard Guy Raz and I do some pretty impressive animal impersonations, if you ask me.
And now we want to challenge you to practice your animal music skills.
Campers, listen to some of your favorite animal sounds and try to replicate them.
Once you've mastered your animal impressions grown-ups you can send us photos and videos at tinkercastcom.
Slash share.
And don't forget to share your favorite non-instrument.
Is there something in your world that isn't considered an instrument, but you think it should be?
Maybe it's your squeaky sneakers or even your crumbly potato chip bag.
And we want to hear all about it.
So call us at 1-888-7-WOW-WOW with your favorite non-instrument and tell us how you would play it.
That's all for now, campers.
