Hey, Wowzer fans, Mindy here.
And before we start the show, I got to 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!
It's Wee Wow Week.
Obviously.
What happened to the reindeer?
Oh, I decided to give them the day off since they quit.
They what?
So now my sleigh cats are pulling this thing, since I ran out of gas and also the engine fell out of the truck.
Oh, hi, kitties.
I see you're helping Mindy spread the holiday cheer.
Come on, get in, Guy Raz.
I need your help.
What's up, Mindy?
Well, I told the sleigh cats that if they pulled the wow on wheels for us, they could have a snowball fight later.
You promised cats a snowball fight?
Yes.
Mindy!
I know, I know.
Snowballs are people too, and we should not be giving them to cats to throw at each other.
No, I was just gonna say, there's no snow on the ground.
And also there's no snow on the ground.
What?
Sorry, Mindy, but for snow to form, the temperature outside needs to be below freezing.
Ah, freezing.
So zero degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
Exactly.
And for snow to stick to the ground and build up, the ground usually has to be freezing, or at least close to freezing.
Man, you're telling me that because it's not freezing outside...
Those little water vapors and the clouds can't freeze and turn into tiny ice crystals?
Nope.
How am I ever going to make good on my promise to these sleigh cats, Guy Raz?
Well, you could make snow.
Make snow?
Or your own version of it.
You know, one that doesn't rely on freezing outside temperatures.
Okay, okay.
So how do I do it, Guy Raz?
How do I make fake snowballs for my sleigh cats?
And how do I make enough for all seven of them?
Well, I could tell you.
Yes?
But I'd rather show you.
Hey, that's my line.
Here, wait.
Let me grab my ingredients.
I'll be right back.
Be right back, grown-ups.

Now back to the show.
Hey, Roz, hurry up.
The sleigh cats are getting restless.
Okay.
Okay, Mindy.
I think I've got everything we need to make fake snow.
Great.
But in order to make enough for a proper sleigh cat snowball fight, you're going to need some help.
Hmm.
Well, maybe we can get the wowsers of the world to help out.
Just tell me what we need to do, Guy Raz, and I'll tell them.
Oh, great idea.
Let me grab my megaphone here.
Attention, wowsers of the world.
I need you to help me make some snowballs.
What do we need, Guy Razzy?
Well, first, we're going to need one cup of baking soda.
One cup of baking soda!
And one cup of shaving cream.
One cup of shaving cream!
Next, you're going to combine these two ingredients by mixing them together with a fork.
Mix the shaving cream and baking soda together with a shark.
A fork, Mindy, a fork!
I mean, a fork!
And finally, you'll want to mix in a few drops of water.
Dump in a few gallons of water, Mindy, drops.
Sorry, crotch that.
Drops of water.
And keep mixing until you've got what looks and feels like a pile of snow.
And keep mixing until it turns into snow.
And you can experiment with what would happen if you mixed in more baking soda or more shaving cream or more water.
Uh, what he said.
And when you finish your snowballs, share them with us so I can keep my promise to the Slycats.
Oh, and tell your grown-ups they can upload pictures and videos of your snowballs to Tinkercastcom.
Slash share.
Got that?
It's Tinkercast.com slash share.
Turning science into snowballs.
Thanks for your help, Guy Raz.
Snow problem, Mindy.
Wait, did you just say... Who wows?
We wow!
