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.”
Head now, let's get on with the show. We're on the weekend, we're on the weekend, because this is what we do, what the weekend. Talking, laughing, me and Reggie comes in, laughing, and then we go, wait, no, I said laughing twice. Whatever, we're on the weekend, we're on the weekend, we're on the weekend, because this is what we do, what the weekend. Hello and welcome to we're on the weekend. I'm your host, Dennis. That's my co-host. Reggie, the giant pigeon.
This is the show where we hang out, and check chat, and listen to episodes of tinkercast podcasts. Oh yeah, why do we only listen to tinkercast podcasts? Well, does tinkercast have anything other than podcasts? I don't know, like tinkercast, clarinet music, or tinkercast dinosaur. What about tinkercast sound effects of old car horns? Okay, let's move on to a segment I like to call rating revoses. This is the part where people write this comments on Apple Podcast
or Spotify or whatever, and I print a bunch out, and I read 'em aloud. Okay, this first revusee is from username,
ingrid, and ed time. The title says, "It's raining pigeon." And the message says, "Dear Dennis, your pigeon is weird. Weird, what? Slander, slander in lies." Oh, you don't mind being called weird? Okay, I'll keep reading. Ah, ah, yes, I love to sing along with you. Reggie, you're weird, but we love you. Ha ha, I get it. We're just good. Yeah, because if you're weird, it means you're interesting. And not like everybody else. Am I weird? Yeah, man, it's good, man, it's fine to be normal and emotionally stable,
but be it is good. Next revusee. Okay, this revusee comes from username, giraffe lover 457. The title says, "To Mr. Dennis, I love being called Mr. Dennis." And the message says,
"Dennis, I love your show so much. It's amazing, hard I am LG. I am giving your show in
infinity stars." Wow, infinity. Yeah, it's so abstract. Let's read on. Dennis, what is your favorite food, animal, and color? Well, I have a lot of favorites. But today, I'm feeling like the answer to all three of those questions would be... Chicken. Yeah, huh, chicken is so a color. Of course it is. It's a pinkish brown and very
“tasty. Okay, they're still more to this revusee. Um, Reggie, I think you should host the show.”
What? Well, of course you think it's a good idea. You've been angling for my job ever since I brought
You on as my unpaid intern.
Yes, whatever. I agreed to pay you as six figure bird seed salary. Welcome aboard.
“Next for the easy. This one comes to us from username, fee fill. The title says,”
Dennis does amazing star emojis. I sure have fee fill. The message says, Dennis, your podcast is amazing. And also, can you do any yo-yo tricks and also, how high can you jump? Oh, yes, a studs question. Reggie, I can so do yo-yo tricks. I do yo-yo tricks all the time.
Okay, technically, no, I've never done any. But I bet I could do a whole bunch if I had a yo-yo.
Oh, you have one. Oh, sure. Yeah. Let me give it a try. Okay, here we go. And yo-yo. Let's go. All right, that's enough yo-yo. Um, let's see how high I can jump. Okay, ready? One, two, three, jump. How high was that, Reggie? Well, good thing no one saw because this
“is a podcast. Let's just say I can jump really, really high. Wow. Okay, I think that's enough”
reviews for now. Thanks for all your reviews, everyone. Keep on coming. And if you write me a question on Apple Podcast, or Spotify, I just might answer it on we, I want the weekend. Unless I don't know the answer. Oh, I get distracted. Oh, I forget. Okay, next is a little segment I like to call. Inside, Tinkercast Studios. Ah, ah, inside, Dickercast Studios. This is the part where we listen to an episode of one of my favorite Tinkercast podcasts. And today we're listening to season two
episode two of "Wow in the World" called, "That's not." Wait, what's nuts? No, Reggie, I'm not asking you to list types of nuts. I'm asking what's nuts?
I know what nuts are. I just, I'll never mind. Let's just play the episode.

All men, coconut, ham, chocolate, towel, rice, soy. Hey guys, what are you doing in your refrigerator over here? Oh, hey, Mindy. I'm just organizing my milk collection.
Um, awesome. Hey, it looks like you're holding a glass of something white and creamy. I have that I can guess what kind of milk that is here here. Let me take a sip. Wait, I am. Oh, Mindy, have you been drinking straight up butter? Well, I mean technically it started off as a butter popsicle on a stick, but melted sooo. That's just gross, a whole glass of melted butter. Butter is back, guys. Besides, what do you want me to do? Wake up
“four o'clock in the morning to squeeze the milk out of a bunch of almonds? That's what I do.”
Oh, wait, actually that's not what I do. All men milk is made by just out and never mind.
Look, coconut milk thinks me hyper, soy milk causes me to have headaches and cows milk gives
Me the tooth.
Too late. So what did you say you were doing with all these milks in here anyway?
“Well, I just thought I'd organize my supply and alphabetical order.”
Actually, I'm reorganizing my entire kitchen. That's nuts. Oh, oh well, speaking of nuts, check out my nut pantry. Wait, what? Oh, Mindy. If the three different varieties of nuts all labeled and organized by species, shape, color, and personal preference, check this out, Mindy. I've got almonds, peach nuts, butter nuts, Brazil nuts, camel nuts and walnuts. Wow, that's a lot of nuts. Yeah, yeah, it is quite the collection if I do say so myself. A too bad you forgot the biggest
nut of the mall. Ah, the coconut. Well, loosely speaking, a coconut can be a fruit-a-seed and a nut, so. Not talking about a coconut. And then, what are you talking about? Me, I'm the biggest
“nut around. Oh, who had nothing in my head? Please, Mindy. Now, that's what you call hard nut shell.”
So I'm just gonna hurt myself, Mindy. Right up here on the shelf. Right between the macadamias and peanuts, we're going back to ABC order. That shelf is not meant to hold nuts heavier than. Well, on the bright side, it looks like I just made you a lifetime supply of trail mix, guys. My beautiful collection of organic prize winning nuts. Now they're mix nuts. How will I ever get these organized again? Oh, wait, I know. Oh, no, no, no, I think you've done enough, Mindy.
No, really, I know who can help. You know someone who can help organize my organic nut collection.
Sure do. In fact, they're living, breathing professional nut organizers. Like, that's basically
all they've got going on. Well, like, deaths of their professional nut organizers. Well, they must have a lot of practice. So, uh, when can I meet them? How about now? Now? Sure. But first, I need to grab a couple of supplies from my house. Uh, would supplies. And whatever you do, don't let Red G, here in your pantry. Uh, in an allergy. What? I'll be right back. Uh, okay, yeah, so uh, you're allergic to nuts, huh? But I guess you're okay around Mindy. Okay, okay, I'm back. What were you getting over
“there, Mindy? Yeah, it's just the bare necessities, Guy Ross. Now, here, put this on. A squirrel suit?”
No, I'm wearing the squirrel suit. You're wearing the chipmunk suit. Mindy, there is no way, I look. Do you want your nut pantry reorganized or not? Hand over the fur. Okay, now it's going to be a little snug. That's just because it's a chipmunk costume made for a dog. Oh, what? It'll be fine. I just squeeze into it while I slip into my. And the mist is not feel comfortable. Well, that's because you've got it on upside down, silly. Here, let me help you out. She's gonna work just for some
money. Oh, it's over. Oh, that's a little thinner. There. Look at you. Now, go check yourself out in the mirror. You could totally pass for a legit chipmunk. I'm ready to go meet my net organizing friend. Are you sure this is a good idea, Mindy? Of course, I'm not sure this is a good idea, Guy Ross. But the state of your net pantry calls for emergency action. Right, so uh. And to me, my shrink one from the adventure toolbox over there. Oh, a shrink one, shrink one. Oh,
we've got it. Here you go. Wait, wait. What shrink one activates. Mindy, you put me back to normal right this minute. Oh, you are the cutest little chipmunk I've ever seen. I'm just gonna pinch
those little chipmunk chips. Mindy, if you don't unscrew me right now, I'm just one second tiny
chipmunk I rise. I'm shrinking down with your shrink one. Activate again. Hey. Look up, I fell right. It's how he talking with me. Creating. Mindy. Mindy, don't you want to roll it up, hold on. Mindy, mindy. Like this. I'm not even wearing my elbow touches. Show you how to hold. I don't want
To hold my elbow touches.
Mindy, mindy, mindy, mindy. They're bigger than my body. Mindy, I don't want to stay on.
W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w a professional nut organizer who would do that for me. - What? - Hello. - This is a cookie.
- Who? - Did he roll out? - I'm scared. - But that's a squirrel. - Wow.
- There we need to be very proud. I'm not scared him away. - Okay, I'm not sure this is gonna work, Mendy. - Now just watch, watch, watch, he bow. - Well, it looks like he's walking over
to what appears to be a huge pile of nuts.
- Yeah. - He very good tension to roughly bend with them. - Interesting. It looks like he's separating the nuts into categories. And then running back and forth and bearing them
in different locations depending on the category of nuts. - Yeah, so good what we call a better hoarder. - Stockpiring food and hiding it in different places. - And what do you do now, Caroline? - And the reason we got this
is to look from now on about what we've found in St. Falsch is protected, even if there is a bomb storm that lights up in the crowd. - Or I suppose another Twitter who finds out where he's been hiding it. - Hey, thanks for my hand behind the camera.
“I think that's how he ate all of the hell away, Mendy.”
You found for the trick I drew me. - Oh, I remember, only I anticipated that you would do that. So I hid piles of it all over my house,
so you never find all of it.
- Yeah, and then you found out all of your hiding papers. - And then I found out how he could give our bees to the trick I drew me. - Hey, those were high quality organic beans. Nature is candy, Mendy.
- Wow, that was real fun here. - Well, never forgot to let me put it in his house. - Because the reason I drew it, I mean, he never sent me a bug me in terrible way of just uncovering him.
He cracked, cracked, cracked, cracked. - So there's a method to his organizational madness. - What? - And we are about to be a clubbing person all. - Oh, no, Mendy.
- You're not thinking of any of my pills. - Like it's just got a bad idea.
“- Now, straight into my stripe and found out my weed, okay?”
- I don't like the sound of this. - And I'm not telling you, this is for all of you. - No, I'm just clearing through the trees with my buddy's surprise over here. - I'm gonna come help the nose of the nose
of the broken distant bug. - Wow, it's been a little silly move. - Oh, with that you are an Internet man. - Ooh, it looks good. - Well, I'm gonna call you on.
- Okay. - Okay. - Okay. - For everything you've done back in the world, you must be really good at working out in your neck.
- Okay, I'm gonna go out with that. I'm gonna have to know a new mind line where you can find more people with neck than you can ever imagine as well. - Mendy, this costume is interesting.
Let's get out of here. - I can put you to the ground and neck hurts.
“We're gonna have to reach the key to the key band.”
We've got the growing to do. - That's quite, we, who is, we. - Sure, we, we, we, we, we, we. (upbeat music) (screaming)
- That's better, gonna stretch it out. All right, you're ready to go nuts, Mr. Scorly Pam. (laughing) - Hey, go nuts, come on, open your eyes. - Oh, uh, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
That's a human-sized squirrel. - Yeah, so about that, I just figured that if you was the size of a full grown human, it would help to make his job easier and faster, you know? - Squirrel.
(laughing) - Come on, you two, let's get inside before someone sees us. Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red. Okay. Garaz, him and your keys. Ah. And unlock the store. And here we are, Mr. Giant Scorley Pants. And Guy Ross' humble abode. Make yourself right home. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now if you'll just scurry on right this way towards the kitchen, you'll find Guy Ross' enormous pantry of mixed nuts. Uh-huh. They were mixed in our ego.
And so, Mr. Scorley, what we need you to do is to organize these nuts just the way you were doing with your nuts back out there in the yard, okay?
We're away.
Yes, of course I don't speak Scorley, Guy Ross. What? Come on into the kitchen.
Uh-huh. Now just sit down, relax. Put your feet up on the table. Uh-huh. I explain what's going on here. Oh, now you're planning to explain what's going on here, but Mindy, get your feet off my table. Okay. So as I was saying earlier, this group of researchers from the University of Berkeley have been spending a lot of time with the common easter and fox world. Just like this guy trying to understand his organizational strategy.
Yeah, I mean, look at him getting to work in my nut pantry. It looks like he's grouping all the different nut species into categories. Exactly what he's doing, Guy Ross. It's a method known as chunky, chunky. Yeah, so chunking is how squirrels organize their nut booty. Yeah, no, there are other words for booty, like treasure chest or port or supply. You don't necessarily need to use that word.
“Yeah, but booty's the best word. Okay, so what is it? What is chunking?”
Okay, so chunking is taking long strings of information and breaking them up into chunks. So we humans do this when we put our clothes away in our dresser doors. Ah, all right. Just like how I put all my socks in the top drawer and all my wool pants in the bottom drawer. Yeah, and then you take it a step further and all of your stripe socks right side of the drawer. That's right, and I do this. So whenever I need a striped pair of socks, I know exactly where to find them. Oh, wait, wait, wait a minute.
Have you been going through my dresser drawers, Mindy? Ah, have you been going through your dresser drawers, Guy Ross? Wait, what? And by putting everything in a specific place, you're making a map in your brain. So if I were to close my eyes, I'd be able to picture my dresser drawer and be able to tell you exactly where my striped socks were without even having to look in the actual drawer.
Yes, I'm like my house where I just throw all of my clothes and dishes and important papers inside the same dishwasher and have no idea where to find anything. So what this means is that I'm like a...
From an organizational perspective, Guy Ross, you're basically a big squirrel chunker.
And I guess from another organizational perspective, you're basically... What? A tornado? I don't know if I'd go that far.
“So how did these researchers discover that squirrels were using their brains for chunking, too?”
Well, they conducted a few experiments. Okay. So the scientists started with a hypothesis. So a pretty educated scientific guess based on data or information collected. Yep, and based on what they knew about squirrels, they had a serious hunch that the squirrels might use chunking.
As in, they would put the almonds in one hole in the ground and the pecans in another, et cetera, et cetera. And was there hypothesis correct? Well, the results of the experiment said that the squirrels did in fact do this. But only if they got the nuts all from the same place. If they got the nuts from different places, they didn't use chunking.
Instead, they just hit all of their nuts and random spots. Well, how do they know? I mean, how are they able to track the nuts of 45 different squirrels?
“Oh, so they used handheld GPS tracking devices to find them and create a map of their collecting and hiding patterns.”
Say, speaking of nuts, whatever happened to that human-sized squirrel that was supposed to be organizing my nut collection. Um, oh, he is organizing your nuts all right. But where? Take a look outside in your yard. Maybe my nuts are all gone.
And he's digging hundreds of holes in my beautiful garden.
You never said that you wanted him to organize them in the pantry.
What? On the bright side, he and his friends will never go hungry. There are just considerate name and for a job well done. That was so funny. The part where Mindy and Guy Ross were the size of a squirrel.
And then the other part where the squirrel was the size of Mindy and Guy Ross. Wait, Reggie, I just had a great idea. We should be giant. Yeah, like giant Dennis and Reggie. The very giant pigeon.
Okay, let's wrap up the show and go ask Mindy to make us giant. Thanks to all you listeners out there for tuning into WeWow on the weekend. You have any questions for me? Call and leave me a message. At 1, 8, 8, 8, 7.
Wow, wow. That's 1, 8, 8, 8, 7. Wow, wow. I just might answer your question on WeWow on the weekend.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, Reggie, when Mindy makes us giants.
“We should stop around like Dennis and Reggie Zillus.”
Oh, we should grow a giant bean stock and live in the clouds. Oh, I'll change my name to Dennis Bunyan and go dig a river and eat a bunch of pancakes and donate one of my shoes to an old lady so she can live in it.
