That's it! And now let's get back to the show!
Wow In The World Brittany, you've been with me since the very beginning.
The day you made me those chocolate peanut butter ball marshmallow fudge brownies is a day I'll never forget.
Oh, I remember that!
They looked so good!
Remember how gooey they were on the inside, garage?
He's about to make his choice.
But I only have one golden spatula to give out tonight, and my connection with Flavia is ready to come out of the oven.
Brian, it's time to make your choice.
Who will be this week's winner of the golden spatula?
Okay, bakers. Tonight, I will be giving my golden spatula to the golden spatula.
Of course. Why do they do that?
Now the show's gonna keep me up past my bedtime!
Well, do you want me to make you another hot chocolate, Mindy?
I'll be up all night if I have any more sugar.
Pass me another cookie, Guy Roz.
Okay. Hello, I'm Gail Richard Simmons, and this is News at Eight.
New research from the University of Buffalo may finally shed some light on the age -old question of the existence of the fabled Yeti.
The Yeti? Guy Roz, turn it up!
No, uh, sure. The team of researchers took nine DNA samples from what was said to be a Yeti from the Himalayan mountain range.
The Yeti? Do you think they're talking about that mythical 10 -foot -tall ape -like creature that lives in the snow?
I mean, what other Yeti is there?
This is so exciting.
I've been trying to get a photo of that thing for years.
You have? Yeah, where do you think I'd go every December?
Well, I assumed you were going home for the holidays.
Nope. Three whole weeks of hardcore Yeti spotting in the Himalayan.
And now, after weeks of analysis, the truth behind the Yeti mystery has finally been revealed.
Stay tuned to hear all about it in our news bulletin at 11!
I'm Gail Richard Simmit for W .O .W.!
These shows keep cutting away before the most exciting part!
I had no idea you had such a fascination with the Yeti, Mindy!
Oh yeah, I love that big furry guy.
Why do you think I have a photo of Eric Shipton above my toilet?
Eric Shipton? I thought that was your grandpa.
Wrong again, Guy Roz.
It's Eric Shipton, famous British explorer.
Every Yeti head knows who Eric Shipton is.
They do? Yeah, Guy Roz.
He took the first ever photo of the Yeti.
He did? Well, not really.
It was just a footprint in the snow, in 1951, in the Himalayan mountains.
But, and this is a big but, up until now it's been the most solid evidence that we have of the Yeti's existence.
Alright. Guy Roz, I just had the most bonker balls idea.
Oh no. What if we went back in time to 1951, found that famous explorer, Eric Shipton, and solved this Yeti mystery for ourselves?
I bet he's got some Yeti bones or something that we could extract some DNA from and analyze.
Or we could just wait to see the results from that study from the University of Buffalo that comes back on the news at 11 p .m.
Ah, that's too far past my bedtime, Guy Roz.
Plus, I've been looking for an opportunity to test out my new DNA analyzer that I installed in the Wow Machine.
Come on! But Mindy, we're just about to find out who won the Golden Spatula.
Come on, Guy Roz. There's a way we can solve right now.
Please? Anything for Yeti's?
Well, uh. Just come with me.
Okay, fine. But let's record the Golden Spatula ceremony just to be sure we don't miss it.
I really hope Brittany wins.
Yes! Okay, setting to record, and we are on our way.
Come on, Guy Roz. The Wow Machine.
Locking up the gingerbread mansion?
All right. Think he might be overdoing it?
There we go. Okay, now where did I leave the Wow Machine?
Hmm. Um, huh. There it is!
Come on, come on, come on.
I'm not I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
We're all out. Uh oh.
What are we? Mindy!
Hey! What is that noise?
Stop it, boy! Eh! Sorry, everyone!
Alright! Come on, come on, come on, come on.
I gotta be up in 10 or 11 o 'clock.
Come on, Guy Roz, get in the Wow Machine!
Right behind you. I'm so excited, Guy Roz.
I am Yeti Obsessed!
I heard that the Yeti is a descendant of one of our early ancestors that evolved to live in the snow.
Uh huh! And that the Yeti's hair is as smooth as silk.
And that the Yeti is surprisingly good at hot scotch.
Uh, shouldn't we get going, Mindy?
Good idea, Guy Roz.
But first, you're gonna have to change.
It can get pretty cold in the Himalayan mountains.
Well, I imagine so.
It's the highest mountain range in the entire world.
Exactly! Okay, let me see what I got here in my adventure tool kit for you to wear.
Uh, swimsuit, business suit, space suit, lawsuit, birthday suit.
Oh, a snow suit! But it's extra, extra small.
Looks like you're stuck with the space suit, Guy Roz.
Here, throw it on while I plug in the coordinates.
Okay. Okay, let me just see here.
Himalayas, 1951. You okay with the helmet there, buddy?
There. How do I look?
Like a real live space cadet.
Okay, I'm okay. Oh, sorry, Guy Roz.
I can't hear you. You gotta open the helmet.
Oh, right. There. How's that?
That's better. Now, let me just put mine on too.
There we go. Just a couple of spacesuit Sallys on their way to solve a history mystery.
Ready to go? As ready as I'll ever be.
That's the spirit, Guy Roz.
Now, hold on tight.
Because here we go!
Smooth landing. Yikes.
Listen to that wind.
Wow. Sounds like quite the snowstorm outside.
Well, we are in the middle of the Himalayas.
Let's see here. A wow machine.
How cold is it outside?
It is teeth chatteringly cold outside.
Yeah. What is that in Fahrenheit?
Approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's like minus one degree Celsius.
Bet you're glad to be wearing that space suit now, Guy Roz.
I just hope it holds up when we step outside.
Well, we're about to find out because here we go.
All right. Opening the hatch.
Whoo. Wow. It sure is windy out here.
What? I said it sure is windy out here.
No. I don't think they have any trout here.
No, I said. Guy Roz, look over there.
What is it? Looks like some sort of tent.
Or a group of tents.
Maybe that's Explorer Eric Shipton's research team.
Great thinking, Mindy.
Come on. Let's check it out.
Racey there. Race, race, race, race, race, race, race.
It's hard to see in a snowstorm.
This place is nice.
You think they have any hot cocoa?
Hot cocoa? Mindy, we need to get out of this windy.
It's freezing. Good idea.
Let's see if we can find a person.
Hello there. A person!
Guy Roz, I found a person!
Thank goodness. Can I help you, too?
Yes. I think so. Maybe we are looking for Eric Shipton, if you will.
He's an Explorer. Yeah, about a five foot 10, mustache, far off look in his eye.
Yes, I'm familiar. You know him?
Of course. I'm his assistant, Reginald Bailey.
Hey, I know a Reggie.
Oh, a charming gent, I'm sure.
Oh no, he's a pigeon.
Oh, so Eric Shipton is here?
Yes, sir. Can you take us to him?
Because we could really use his help getting our hands on some Yeti DNA.
DNA? Yeah, you know, it's like the instruction manual for life.
Every living creature has it.
And more importantly, it's unique to every animal.
So our thinking is that we'll get some Yeti bones from Mr.
Shipton, throw him into my DNA analyzer, and settle once and for all if the Yeti is real or not.
Pretty good plan, huh?
Yes, well, I'm not sure if we have any Yeti bones, but I'm happy to take you to Mr.
Shipton. I just need a few more moments to help our new research assistants get equipped for our expedition.
Huh? Whoa, what was that?
Uncertain. You do stay here.
I'm going to alert Mr.
Shipton. Okay. All right.
I don't like the sound of that, Mindy.
I don't like the look of it either.
What do you mean? Over there, Guy Roz.
Look. I can't see anything with all the snow, Mindy.
What was that? Uh, hello?
Hi. Carly Q. Nice to meet you.
Uh, hi there, Carly.
I'm Mindy. And I'm Guy Roz.
Nice revolutionary war costumes.
Seems like an unusual choice for the Himalayas in 1951.
Says the man in the spacesuit.
Fair enough. Wait. Are you two traveling through time too?
We are. Huh? Carly Q.
We're really not meant to talk about that.
They're wearing spacesuits, Lewis.
I think we can trust them.
This is so exciting.
For as big as the time space continuum is, you hardly ever see people traveling across it.
What is that thing?
Why is it growling?
We're over there in the snow.
Is that the Yeti? Did we find it big?
Hairy? Covered in white fur?
Sure looks like a Yeti to me.
That thing must be 10 feet tall.
And it's getting on all fours and heading straight for us.
Run, run, run, run, run, run.
Don't worry, everyone.
I have the wow machine working right around the corner.
You have a wow machine?
That's incredible. A wow machine?
What is a wow machine?
You're gonna love it.
Mindy, quick. Open the hatch.
Opening? Opening? Opening?
Mindy, quick. There, got it.
Hurry, everyone inside.
Everyone stay very, very quiet.
What? I can't hear you.
You gotta talk louder.
Mindy. Mindy, what?
What's that thing? It was, I told you.
It was a Yeti. What was that?
Oh, that's just my H -Dad.
Sorry, I thought I put this thing on silent.
No information found on local wildlife.
Animal emoji, running emoji, scared face emoji.
Local wildlife? Maybe he can tell us what just chased us out of the camp.
Well, we already know what that was, Louis.
It was a Yeti. Just ask H -Dad.
Fine. H -Dad, what creature almost ate me and my new friends?
Analyzing. Hourglass emoji.
Hourglass emoji. Hourglass emoji.
Another hourglass emoji.
How long does this usually take?
You know, it varies from episode to episode.
Hourglass emoji. Analysis complete.
The creature located 400 feet north of the current location is identified as...
I can't handle this tension.
A Himalayan black bear.
A Himalayan black bear?
A mumble crust. I could've sworn I was a Yeti.
Additional study relating to Yetis found in 2017 from the University of Buffalo.
Kai -Ra's, that's the same study we heard about on the news.
Yeah. In 2017, scientists analyzed nine samples of Yeti hair, Yeti teeth, and Yeti bones, and concluded that eight of the nine samples contained...
Bear DNA. Bear emoji.
Helix emoji. Shocked face emoji.
But what about the last sample?
Yeah, maybe it was the Yeti DNA.
H -dad, was the final DNA sample from a Yeti?
The final sample contained...
Canine DNA. Dog emoji.
Helix emoji. Laughing, crying emoji.
So... no Yeti? Afraid not.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Still not on silent.
Lunch break is over.
Return to the time elevator immediately.
Alarm clock emoji. Sad face emoji.
Well, sounds like it's time for us to go.
Oh, really? But we just met you.
Yeah, we have this very important rule that says we have to be back at HQ by the end of lunch.
Wait, you guys are on your lunch break?
Can we at least give you a ride back?
I mean, this whole gal's still got some gas in the tank.
Ignore that. Super nice of you, but we actually have this time elevator thing that we use.
Ooh, an elevator? Who do they have playing?
Uh, what? He's obsessed with elevator music.
Oh, uh, I don't know about the elevator music, but we do have an elevator operator, Odie.
You would love her.
She's been around forever.
Like, maybe legit forever.
We should ask her to sing for us.
Lewis, do you think Odie sings?
I don't know, Carly Q.
All I know is that we're almost out of time.
We need to go. Fine.
Sorry, friends. We gotta go, but it was a nice meeting you.
Uh, how do I - Oh, hang on.
I'll help you here.
There's a special trick to it.
Uh, stand back. Oh no.
Um, thanks? Safe travels.
Bye, Mindy. Bye, Guy Ross.
Bye, Carly. Bye, Lewis.
They seem nice. Yeah, but I hope they don't bump into that black bear on their way to that time -traveling elevator of theirs.
Yeah, and I'm still bummed we didn't get proof of the Yeti's existence.
Well, we don't know for sure that the Yeti doesn't exist, Mindy.
All this study proves is that those samples at the University of Buffalo came from bears and dogs.
So you're saying that the Yeti could still be out there?
Well, not necessarily, but anything is possible, Mindy.
Sounds like someone's on their way to becoming a verified Yeti spotter.
Hey, what are you doing next, December, Guy Ross?
Uh, I think I might be busy, Mindy.
Fine. I guess I'll have to ask that Carly Q.
person. How? With this.
Is that an ID badge?
Yep. Look what it says.
Butt -head. Butt -head?
Uh, I think it says the Bureau of Universal Time Travel Historical Exploration Division, Mindy.
Which is long for...
Butt -head. Exactly.
It must be where she works.
What do you say? Want to go return some lost property, Guy Ross?
Okay. But then we're heading back to finish that episode of The Golden Spatula.
Deal. All right. Now hold on tight because here we go!
Wow in the world. We'll be right back.
