Hey, grown-ups. On the Nintendo Switch system,

the kingdom with Link. Hmph!

0:09

Hmph! Hmph! That

0:11

sounds adventurous. Or my very

0:14

own island in Animal Crossing New Horizons, where

I can fish whenever I want. Whoa!

2:19

for today is... STRAIGHT!

2:23

Mindy, why don't you refresh our contestants on how

2:25

the game works? You know it! Plazhers

2:27

in each of our three rounds today, Di-Rajna

2:30

will present you with three

2:32

scientific statements at Mount Strayk!

2:35

But... This

2:37

is a big but! Only

2:40

one of those statements will be a true

2:42

wow! The other two? Just

2:44

a couple of made-up! Yay! Now,

2:47

in each round, if you guess

2:49

correctly, congratulations, you win a point!

2:52

But, if you guess incorrectly,

2:54

you must start, drop, and

2:56

do a ritoculus physical challenge!

3:00

Okay, everyone ready to start the game? Hey,

3:03

then let's do it! Round

3:07

1, which of the following statements

3:09

is a true scientific wow? Is

3:12

it A, it's impossible

3:14

to break a diamond? Or

3:17

is it B, a

3:19

Titan beetle can snap a pencil in

3:21

half? Or is it

3:23

C, the world's strongest

3:26

tortilla chip can withstand two

3:28

jars of salsa per square

3:30

inch without breaking? When

3:33

you think you have the correct answer, do

3:36

your best fish impression! Hey,

3:39

Reggie! Can we get some

3:41

thinking music, please? And

3:53

time is up! Let's now reveal

3:55

the winning wow! And

3:58

do just that, joining us! by

4:00

phone it's CC from Ohio.

4:03

CC from Ohio tell us

4:06

what's the winning wow. Hi

4:08

Minji and Guy Ross my wow is

4:11

that the Titan Beetle can snap a pencil

4:13

in her. Winner

4:15

winner pencil saving for

4:17

dinner. Thank you CC contestants

4:20

if you guess the answer be

4:22

that Titan Beetle can snap a

4:24

pencil in half. Well

4:27

congratulations you found the winning wow. This

4:30

six inch long beetle can snap your

4:32

number two pencils into two pieces

4:35

just by using their jaw. And

4:37

when they're done gnawing on pencils

4:39

Titan Beetles enjoy drinking a nice

4:42

tall glass of some Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice?

4:44

Guy Ross you have to be

4:46

careful we can't say Beetlejuice three

4:49

times in a row. Now

4:52

if you did not get that answer

4:55

correct you must stop, drop and take

4:57

a bite out of your string cheese

4:59

instead of peeling it. Alright

5:03

time for round two. Which of

5:06

the following statements is a true

5:08

scientific wow? Is

5:10

it A, a magnet

5:12

will get stronger as

5:14

it gets colder. Or

5:16

is it B, the

5:18

strongest man alive is

5:20

Dennis. Or

5:24

is it C, chimpanzees

5:26

cannot peel oranges. When

5:30

you think you have the correct answer tell

5:33

your guest to the nearest grandma. Ah

5:36

singing music please. And

5:49

to reveal the winning wow it's

5:52

Ryan and Jacob from Illinois.

5:54

Ryan and Jacob tell us what's

5:57

the winning wow. My

6:00

name is Ryan and my name is Jacob and

6:02

we live in Wheaton, Illinois. And our world in

6:04

the world is that a permanent magnet gets stronger as

6:06

it gets colder. Winner,

6:09

winner, or steal for dinner!

6:11

Thank you, Ryan and Jacob.

6:13

Contestants, if you guess the

6:15

answer, A, a magnet

6:18

will get stronger as it gets

6:20

colder. Well, congratulations, you found a

6:22

winning wow! But when a magnet

6:25

gets colder, the molecules in it

6:27

move around a lot less, leading

6:29

to less vibration. This

6:31

creates a more concentrated magnetic

6:34

field, meaning a stronger magnet.

6:36

So decreasing the temperature actually

6:38

increases the magnetism, and that's

6:41

why I leave all my

6:43

magnets inside my refrigerator. Don't

6:45

you mean on your

6:48

fridge? Nope. Now, if you

6:50

did not get that answer correct,

6:52

you must stop, drop, and pretend

6:54

to be an ostrich at a

6:56

shopping mall. Okay,

6:58

now for the final round, round

7:00

three. Which of the following

7:03

statements is a true scientific

7:05

wow? Is it A? Spider-self

7:08

is about as strong as

7:10

notebook paper. Or

7:12

is it B? The world's strongest

7:15

suit was smelled over 20 miles

7:18

away. Or is

7:20

it C? The Golden Eagle's talons

7:22

are thought to be 10 times

7:25

stronger than a human hand. When

7:28

you think you have the correct answer, tap

7:30

your toes and rub your elbows. And

7:43

now to reveal that winning wow,

7:45

please welcome by phone Sadie from

7:48

North Carolina. Sadie,

7:50

talons, what's the winning wow?

8:00

Isn't that comfortable? Winner

8:03

winner, Jugging for dinner! Thank

8:06

you Sadie! Contestants, if

8:08

you guessed the answer, see that

8:10

Golden Eagle Talons are thought

8:13

to be 10 times as strong as a

8:15

human hand, well, congratulations, you

8:17

found the winning wow! That's right,

8:19

Guy-Roz. The Golden Eagle Talons are

8:21

only about 2 inches

8:24

long, so they're pretty slimy compared

8:26

to our hands, but they pack

8:28

a powerful punch. In

8:31

fact, the Golden Eagle Talons can have

8:33

a grip force of around 4 to

8:35

700 pounds per square inch. Talk

8:38

about some serious strength.

8:41

You're telling me, Guy-Roz. Now,

8:45

if you did not get that

8:48

answer correct, you must stop, drop,

8:50

and screech like an eagle. And

8:53

now, it's time to thank our sponsors.

8:56

10:34

back to Two What's in the

10:36

Wow! The scientific game show that

10:38

separates the wow from the what! What

10:42

was that? Oh,

10:51

Guy-Roz, that sound can mean only one

10:54

thing! We're having a polka party? Oh,

10:56

it's time for today's soccer ball

10:59

spider round! And today's

11:01

question comes from the episode of Wow in

11:03

the World called Tuna, A

11:06

Meal Fit for a Cat. And the question

11:08

for this round is, it turns

11:10

out opening up an exclusively

11:13

tuna themed restaurant is a

11:15

fantastic idea if you

11:17

want it to be overrun with cats. But

11:20

why do cats love this

11:22

fishy feast so much? Is

11:25

it A, because they

11:27

get a new mommy overload from

11:29

a chemical inside the tuna? Or

11:32

is it B, they

11:34

can't taste sweetness? Or

11:37

is it C, because they

11:39

are stretched pescetarian and only

11:41

eat fish? When you

11:44

think you have the correct answer, pop a horn! And

11:47

joining us with today's answer is Reggie!

11:51

Reggie, tell us, what's the

11:53

winning wow? That's

11:56

right, Reggie! The correct answer is

11:58

A. The

12:00

reason they love tuna

12:02

so much is because

12:05

of the chemicals inside

12:07

the tuna binding with their

12:10

taste receptors and causing an

12:12

umami explosion in their mouths.

12:14

Congratulations to all of our winning

12:16

wowsers on today's show. Mindy
