But until then, let's get back to the show. Woohoo!

And now, for every one second favorite game show after, blaming that terrible smell on the family dog, it's two What's in the WoW!

Rick and her hosts, may be in Guy Watch! Two What's in the WoW, Two What's in the WoW! Hello and welcome to two What's in the WoW! The scientific game show that separates the WoW from the WoW! And the category or theme for today is,

'Boutin', may be why don't you refresh our contestants on how the game works? You know what Guy Watch, WoW's in each of our three rounds today, Guy Watch, and I will present you with three scientific statements about mountains. But, and this is a big butt, only one of those statements will be a true WoW! The other two, just a couple of made up WoW! Now, in each round, if you guess correctly, congratulations, you win a point!

“But, if you guess incorrectly, you must stop, drop into a ridiculous physical challenge!”

Okay, everyone ready to get this show going? Great, and let's get to it! Okay, round one. Which of the following statements is a true scientific WoW? Is it A?

Mount Everest is actually shrinking. Or, is it B? Mount Everest can fit inside the ocean. Or, is it C? Many people no longer use sherpas to help them climb Mount Everest.

They now just call an Uber! When you think you have the correct answer, shout, "You're a lay homey!" Hey guys, get a little thinking music up here. And time is up, let's now reveal the winning WoW! And do just that!

“It's a night from California, a night tell us, what's the winning WoW?”

Hi, my name is a night. My WoW in the world is that Mount Everest can fit inside the ocean. Winner, winner, what rocks for dinner! Thank you and I! Contestants, if you guessed the answer B, that Mount Everest can fit inside the ocean

well, congratulations, you found the winning WoW! At least the tip of Mount Everest would probably stick out of most places in the ocean, but not the Mariana's trench.

It's about 11 kilometers or 6.8 miles deep.

And even though Mount Everest is the highest mountain above sea level, it could fit into the Mariana's trench with more than a mile to spare. Now, if you did not get that answer correct,

“you must stop, drop, and take a bubble bath with some rocks.”

Okay, round two. Which of the following statements is a true scientific wow? Is it a? Mountains are formed when two geological plates crash against each other. Or is it B?

Mountains can also be the result of a bad skin rash on earth's crust. Or is it C?

Mountains are formed by earthquakes almost instantly.

Hmm, that's to think about here. When you think you have the correct answer, go tell it on the mountain. (Music) And time is up, and joining us by phone, it's the lane from Colorado with our winning wow.

I'm meaning I rose my home the world is that when two pressure plates accidentally bumped into each other, they push up for the mountains. (Music) When are we now Earth's crust for dinner? Thank you Lane.

Wowsers, if you guessed, hey, that mountains are formed when two geological plates crash against each other, well, congratulations you found the winning wow. Lane calls them pressure plates, but the earth's crust is actually made up of tectonic plates, and sometimes they press against each other so hard that rocks burst through the earth's surface.

That's right, tectonic activity is the main way that mountains are formed. But lava from volcanoes and erosion from wind and water can actually help build mountains over long periods of time too.

“Now, if you did not get that answer correct, you must stop, drop, and make a mountain out”

of a mole hill. And now it's time to take a moment to thank our sponsors. Today's show is brought to you in part by mountain earrings. The latest fashion trend that comes to you from some of the earth's most outstanding natural wonders.

Tired of boring jewelry that doesn't stand out, then mountain earrings are for you. Forget whoops or studs. These earrings are a rock solid way to elevate your fashion game. Just hook a little piece of the rockies in your lobe, and you'll really make a splash. Alright, thank you mountain earrings.

Why don't we take a quick break and hear some other important messages for grown-ups? To what's in a while, we'll be right back. grown-ups, this message is for you. When 12-year-old jewels stumbles into a time machine, an unexpected journey begins.

Turns out our planet looks different in the year 2100. Cyclones, poison tides, and algeos for breakfast. But how did we get here? And can we turn back the clock? Well, that's up to you.

Play it safe, we'll risk it all, as a member of the Midnight Rebellion. Available wherever you listen. That's it, now back to the show. Welcome back to Two What's And a Well. The scientific show that separates the whales from the whales.

And now we're on to our final round of questions round three.

“Which of the following statements is a true scientific wow?”

Is it a Mount Everest is part of the world's oldest mountain range? Or is it B?

Snow never falls on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Or is it C? Mount Everest is actually a young mountain. Take a second to think this over. And when you think you have the correct answer, find a grown-up and make them your personal body.

And time is up and joining us by phone with the answer, it's Gabriel from California. Gabriel, please tell us the winning wow.

mountain because the tectonic plate are still pushing the upwood.

When are winter check tonic blades for dinner? That's right, Gabriel, wowsers if you guessed C that Mount Everest is actually a young mountain. You found the winning wow, congratulations. It's true. Mount Everest could be considered a young mountain and may not be done growing. And it's all about those tectonic plates.

The more they push against each other, the more mountain gets squeezed up through the earth's crust.

“Now, if you did not get that answer correct, you must stop, drop in, push your way out of the ground.”

Mindy, who was that? Oh, guys, that sound can mean only one thing. There was an avalanche in the parking lot. Probably but that sound means it's time for today's winning wowsers prize. All of our contestants today will receive their very own invisible dye net set of tectonic plates.

You can't really eat dinner off of them, but they're real sturdy. Reggie, chew the prize cannon. Fire away!

Look at that guy, Ron. Those plates will never break unless you smash them against each other.
