Hey there, smarty pants.
Trusty narrator here.
Quick question.
Do you know why sheep need haircuts?
Or if goats really will eat anything?
Or what horsepower has to do with horses?
Yeah. me neither.
That's why I love the Super Smart Farm Show, a family podcast that answers the exact questions we all ask about farms, animals and food.
It's like Who Smarted, but on a farm.
Each week, the host, my friend Elmer, heads out to the farm to explore animals like cows chickens pigs, sheep and even bees.
He digs into how plants grow, how food gets from farm to plate, takes you aboard tractors and harvesters to see how farmers do their jobs and how the machines work.
It's playful, curious, and genuinely smart.
And it's from the Lancaster farming team, who've been covering agriculture since 1955.
If you love asking questions about nature farms, animals and food, the Super Smart Farm Show podcast is for you.

Hello, smarty pants!
Chet Nickerson here with a very special guest episode of Trusty Trivia.
That's right, I'll be stepping in for Trusty today.
He's busy training for an all-you-can-eat pizza contest.
And speaking of hot pizza, today we're heating things up with a shockingly cool topic.
Microwave ovens!
Now, before we press, start a piping hat.
Shout out to my smarty friend Leland in Kappaspel, Montana.
We hear you love Who Smarted because it's funny and that even your class listens to it a lot.
Hey there, everyone.
Thanks so much for smarting with us.
Way to go, Leland.
And now let's microwave some knowledge.
Question one.
How does a microwave oven heat food?
Is it A, by blowing hot air, B, by vibrating water molecules, or C, by yelling at it?
Did you say B?
You're done and correct.
Microwaves make water molecules vibrate, which creates heat and warms your food from the inside out.
Okay, question two.
What kind of waves does a microwave oven use?
Is it A, sound waves, B, radio waves, or C, ocean waves?
Choosing B, why you're on the right frequency.
Microwave ovens use radio waves, a type of electromagnetic wave.
Okay, last question.
Why should metal not go in a microwave?
Is it A, because it can cause sparks?
B, it melts instantly.
Or C, it gets lonely.
If you picked A, sparktacular thinking.
Metal reflects microwaves and can cause sparks or even fires.
So never put any metal inside a microwave.
Anyway, that was Electrifying Smarty Pants.
Join us next week for more high-powered trivia.

This is Chet Nickerson saying goodbye and thanks for smarting.
As the trusty narrator, I've taken the smarty pants on countless adventures.
I'll do anything for the fans.
But off mic, I prefer to keep my adventures in the safe space of my own backyard.
However, even a homebody like me can't avoid the unexpected chaos that comes with family life.
Take last week, for example.
My niece was staying with me when she came down with a nasty cold in the middle of the night.
I couldn't leave her alone to get medicine, and that's when I remembered DoorDash is there for you whatever you need, whenever you need it.
With a few taps on my phone, I had cough syrup and tissues delivered right to my door.
DoorDash saved the night, and my niece was back to her energetic self in no time.
Oh, and did I order a little ice cream for myself?
Yes, I did.
And DoorDash brought it right to my door.
So while I may not be the biggest fan of real-life adventures, I'm grateful that DoorDash is always there to help me navigate life's little emergencies.
When life happens, get a little order delivered with DoorDash.
Order now.
Let's do this.
From the artists that made K-pop Demon Hunters and Spider-Verse.
I'm Will Harris.
And I'm the first small to play professional roar ball with the fiercest animals in the most dangerous stadiums.
And producer Stephen Curry.
You don't belong here.
You're too small.
Want to bet?
You're never too small.
Let me show you what I got.
To dream big.
We'll just go.
Night, night.
Goat.
