Hello, Wowsers.
Gladness?
Reggie, now, not basketball tournament stuff. March Gladness tournaments stuff.
“Yeah, exactly. March Gladness is where I think of all the things that made me the Gladness”
this month, and then I put him head to head and a tournament style bracket. Oh, so you do know what I'm talking about. Well, then as you know, the winner of my much Gladness tournament was my new haircut. Do you love it? What do you mean? Don't worry, it'll grow back. Whatever, Wowsers fans, you too can fill out your very own March Gladness bracket by going to ticacast.com/march. There, you can print your very own free March Gladness
bracket, then fill it out to see what made you the Gladness this month. Put your favorite things head to head in a tournament of Gladness. One more time, that's tinkercast.com/march. Now, let's get on with the show.
And now, for everyone's second favorite game show after, hey, does this milk smell weird to you?
Smell it. It's, two, one, and the, wow! Hello, and welcome back to two wats and a wow! The scientific game show that separates the wows from the wats, and the category for today is straight. Mindy, why don't you refresh our contestants on how the game works? You know it. Wowsers in each of our three rounds today, Guy Ros and I will present you with three scientific statements about strength.
But, this is a big butt. Only one of those statements will be a true, wow! The other
two? Just a couple of made-up wats!
Now, in each round, if you guess correctly, congratulations! You win a point! But, if you
“guess incorrectly, you must stop, drop, and do a ridiculous physical challenge!”
Okay, everyone ready to start the game? Great, then let's do it! Okay, round one, which of the following statements is a true, scientific, wow! Is it a? It's impossible to break a diamond? Or is it b? A tiny beetle can snap a pencil and a half? Or is it c? The world's strongest tortilla chip can withstand two jars of salsa per square inch without breaking?
When you think you have the correct answer, do your best fish and pressure. Hey, Reggie! Can we get some thinking music, please? Woo! And time is up! Let's now reveal the winning wow! And to do just that, joining us by phone, it's cc from Ohio. Tell us, what's the winning wow? I'm Angie and Guy Ross. My wow, is that the Titan Beetle
can snap a pencil and hat. Winner winner, pencil, shavings for dinner! Thank you, C.C. contestants, if you guess the answer be, that Titan Beetles can snap a pencil and a half, but, congratulations, you found the winning wow! This six inch long beetle can snap your number two pencils into two pieces just by using their jaw. And when they're done knowing on pencils, Titan Beetles enjoy drinking a nice tall glass of some beetle juice.
Beetle juice? There is! We have to be careful, we can't say Beetle juice three times in a row.
“Oops! Now, if you did not get that answer correct, you must stop, drop and take a bite out of your”
string cheese instead of filling it. All right, time for round two, which of the following statements is a true scientific wow. Is it a magnet will get stronger as it gets colder? Or is it B? The strongest metal-life is Dennis.
Blah!
When you think you have the correct answer, tell your guests to the nearest grandma.
Ah, thinking music, please! And to reveal the winning wow, it's Ryan and Jacob from Illinois. Ryan and Jacob, tell us, what's the winning wow? I'm Indian Gaiross, my name is Ryan, my name is Jacob, and we live in Weedon, Illinois, and our well in the world is that a permanent magnet gets stronger as it gets colder.
Winner Winner, Orange Peel Spirdinner!
Thank you, Ryan and Jacob, contestants if you guessed the answer A.
A magnet will get stronger as it gets colder while congratulations you found the winning wow. When a magnet gets colder, the molecules in it move around a lot less, leading to less vibration. This creates a more concentrated magnetic field, meaning a stronger magnet. So decreasing the temperature actually increases the magnetism,
“and that's why I leave all my magnets inside my refrigerator.”
Don't you mean, on your fridge? Nope. Now, if you did not get that answer correct, you must stop, drop, and pretend to be an ostrich at a shopping mall. Okay, now for the final round round three, which of the following statements is a true scientific wow. Is it A? Spider-Cill is about as strong as notebook paper. Or is it B? The world's strongest tooth was smelled over 20 miles away.
Or is it C? The golden eagle's talons are thought to be ten times stronger than a human hand. When you think you have the correct answer, tap your toes and rub your elbows. Allow to reveal that winning wow. Please welcome by phone,
“Sadie from North Carolina. Sadie? Tell us. What's the winning wow?”
Hi, my name is Sadie. My wow in the world, there's those golden eagle talons. I thought they can kind of stronger than a human hand. Isn't that bonkerball? Winner winner, Jasmine, for dinner. Thank you, Sadie. Contestants, if you guess the answers see, that golden eagle talons are thought to be ten times as strong as a human hand. Well, congratulations, you found the winning wow.
That's right, Cairo's. The golden eagle's talons are only about two inches long, so they're
pretty small compared to our hands, but they pack a powerful punch. In fact, the golden eagle's
talons can have a grip force of around four to seven hundred pounds per square inch. Talk about some serious strength. You're talon me, Cairo's.
“Now, if you did not get that answer correct, you must stop, drop, and screech like an eagle.”
And now, it's time to thank our sponsors. Today's show is brought to you in part by Inside Out Burger. The only restaurant serving up your burgers with meat and cheese on the outside buns on the inside, and a mess, and reverse. All right, well, let's take a break and hear some other important messages from grown-ups. To what's in a while, we'll be right back. Growing up, this message is for you.
That's it. Now, back to the show. Welcome back to Two What's And a Wout. The scientific game show that separates the wild scrum though. What was that? Well, Cairo's that sound community only one thing. We're having a polka party. Oh, it's time for today's polka balls bonus round. And today's question comes from the episode of "Wow in the World" called tuna, a meal fit for a cat. And the question
for this round is, it turns out opening up an exclusively tuna themed restaurant is a fantastic idea. If you want it to be overrun with cats, but why do cats love this fishy feast so much?
Is it A?
Or is it B? They can't taste sweetness. Or is it C? Because they are strict
“pescaterians and only eat fish. When you think you have the correct answer, polka horn.”
And joining us with today's answer, it's Reggie. Who? Reggie? Tell us, what's the winning wow? That's right Reggie, the correct answer is A. Although it's true that cats cannot taste sweetness. The reason they love tuna so much is because of the chemicals inside the tuna binding with their taste receptors and causing an umami explosion in their mouths. Congratulations to all of our winning wowzers on today's show. Many what's today's prize.
There are today's winning wowzers will all receive their very own,
put Tato sunscreen. The Tato sunscreen that I've never even heard of this. Yeah that's
because I just made it up. Huh? Put some on your Tato and when it goes out in the sun, it won't get bent. Oh, you're right. You're the prize cannon.
