And now a quick ad break and then we'll get on with the show. This is kind of embarrassing. Uh-oh. No. It's a what? It's a what? Really? Do you have a neat arms frill across? Here's my slide whistle. Rewrong? Welcome to Two What's in a Wow, People Who Wow Edition with your host, Mindy. And featuring today's special guest, Lucy. Two What's in a Wow. Hello and welcome to Two What's in a Wow, People Who Wow Edition. The Getting to Know You game show where we separate the wows from the what? Of some of the world's most interesting people. And we just so happen to have one of them here today. Please welcome our guest joining us. She is a lacrosse loving slime expert. Tap dancing her way across Virginia. Please welcome the one and only, Lucy. Hello. Lucy, welcome to Two What's in a Wow. Thank you. It is so great to have you here. I hear you are a slime expert, also lacrosse player. And then let me just check my notes here. Something in here about getting lost at Disney World? Yeah, I think all of those kind of describe my life. All right, Lucy. Before we get started, I wanted to do a little warm up with you. Okay. So in this game, Two What's in a Wow, we are having you make up wrong answers so that you can try to fool me from guessing the right one. So I thought we would play a little round of a game that I like to call Wrong Answers Only. And the way this works is very simple. This is a quick warm up. I'm just going to ask you a series of questions. And all you have to do is answer them incorrectly. I can do that. All right, here we go. Number one, where do fish live? The toilet. What body part do you eat with? My foot. What should you do if you're chased by a bear? Hug it. Where is the moon located? Florida. What? What's in my pocket? Chainsaw. What do you call your grandma? Grandpa. What do you write your homework on? My face. What do you put in an ice cream cone? I don't know if I should say this one. Two. Oh, Lucy. What color is the sky? Pink. And what can you always find at the beach? A fort. There we go. All right, Lucy. Amazing. Do you feel warmed up? I do. Oh boy. Well, this is going to be fun. So today we are going to get to know you a little bit better through three rounds of two what's and a wow. Now, for people who don't know, here's how the game works. So we're going to have three rounds today where you're going to give us in each round, three weird, interesting, unusual, and maybe wow, facts about yourself. It's up to me to guess which one is the one true wow. If I guess correctly, I get a point. If I guess incorrectly, I must do a redonkulous challenge. Okay, let's get started with our three rounds of two what's and a wow today. We are about to get to know you a whole lot better. So round one is all about jobs. You're 11 years old. Have you ever had a job? What was tell me something that you've been paid to do? Oh, I've probably mainly been paid to do chores. What's your least favorite chore? Walking the dogs. Walking the dogs. All right. Well, Lucy, there will be no dog walking here today. All we're going to do is do a little round about jobs because I know that walking dogs and doing chores has not been the only job you've held in your young life. And we're about to find out what another one once was. All right. Now remember, if you're playing along, only one of these statements is a true wow. The other two are just a couple of made up. All right, Lucy, you ready to get started? Oh, yeah. Take it away. Round one. Round one. Which of the following jobs is my true wow? Is it a junior lifeguard? Or B, YouTube influencer? Or C, cat search and rescue team? Okay. So A is junior lifeguard. I can't really ask follow up questions. I'm just looking at you, trying to tell if it's possible. You know how to swim. If I could trust you in the water. If you have fins, maybe you're part mermaid, maybe you're all mermaid. No. A reverse mermaid. No. Okay. Or a YouTube influencer. I got to say, you seem very comfortable in front of a camera. Okay. And number three, cat search and rescue team. Well, someone who doesn't really enjoy walking dogs. I don't know if I would put you in the search and rescue team for my cat. For my cat. Or maybe you like cats. You'd rather walk them than dogs or, you know what? I'm going to go with B. I think B, YouTube influencer is your other job. Am I correct? Wrong. Oh man. That's just a what? That's just a what? You're not a YouTube influencer? No. Which one is the one true? Wow. If it's not B, is it A? No. No. A is a what? You're not a junior lifeguard? I'm not a junior lifeguard. Well, that means that there's only one choice left. And that means that your one true? Wow. Is that your other job besides doing chores at home is? C. Cat search and rescue team? Yes. Tell me more about this, Lucy. So I was walking my dogs like I have to do sometimes. And I see my cat walk with us and he goes down a sewer. And so then I say, dad, I think our cat just went down the sewer. So then he has to lift lift up that grid thing on the sewer and lower me down into the sewer to look for him. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Number one, your cat walks with your dogs when you're walking the dogs. The cat walks with you? Depends on the time, but yes. Does your cat think it's one of the dogs? Think so. He's a he likes to go outside and he can go through the dog door. Wow. Okay. Your cat thinks it's a dog. So your cat? Think my cat's part dog. I think so too. But your cat's also an escapee. So your cat went down into the sewer. You saw it happen. You told your dad who was walking with you. And then your dad lowered you down into the sewer. He like he had me the whole time. He like took me by the shoulders and went boom and then took me back up. Wow. That is amazing. And did you find the cat? Yes. We found him in our neighbor's backyard. All right. There you go. If you ever lose your cat, you just call Lucy. Lucy will go into dark, damp places to find him. All right, Lucy. That was amazing. That was round one. And I did not get that answer correct. So I must do a redonkulous challenge. Can we get the challenge wheel up here, please? Okay. What's it gonna be? All right. What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Perform a gizoo solo, eat an onion, take a ride on Reggie, repair a broken printer. What? I have to show you the last picture taken on my phone? Okay. Um, this is kind of embarrassing. Well, all right. Well, here's a picture of me at standing in front of the world's largest potato. When I went to go see the world's largest potato, it was only slightly bigger than my head, at least in this picture. It was a, it was a big potato. It was not a baked potato. It was raw and it was not delicious. It needed a lot of salt. It needed a lot of salt. I tried looking at it and it was disgusting. I prefer my potatoes to have salted skin with a little bit of oil and maybe a surprise inside. Yeah. How do you like your potatoes, Lucy? I like them called twice baked potatoes. Twice baked? They're very confusing. They're very confusing. Why twice baked? Why not once baked? Because you cut the potato in half and put them in the oven for a little bit and then you take them out, cut the potato and take the potato guts out and then you make the potato guts taste delicious and then you put the potato guts back in and then you bake it again. Oh, okay. Twice baked potatoes. So they're basically mashed potatoes inside of a baked potato. Yeah. All right. That's your preferred method of having potatoes. I like it. Two once in a while will be right back after this ad break. Hey, grownups.

I am. Okay. So for round two, we're going to talk about challenges. All right, Lucy. We would like to hear three weird, interesting, unusual statements about you. These are about challenges that you have faced in your life. Yep. Take it away, Lucy. Okay. Round two. Which of the following statements is a true wow about a challenge in my life? Is it A? I broke my arm while playing lacrosse. Is it B? I was born three months early, so I couldn't leave the hospital. Or is it C? I helped my mom change a busted car tire in the rain. Okay. Number one, A, you broke your arm playing lacrosse. We did establish that you are a lacrosse player. And I can only see your shoulders right now, so I don't know what's happening below them. But you don't seem to be in pain. You don't seem to be itching from a cast. You don't seem to have a broken bone there. It's possible. B, you were born three months early, so you couldn't leave the hospital. Hmm. I don't know if I'd buy it. And C, you once helped your mom change a busted car tire in the rain. Seeing that your dad has lowered you into a storm drain to find the cat, I am going to guess that the correct answer is C, helping your mom change a tire in the rain. Am I correct? No. It's a what? It's a what? Really? Mm-hmm. Have you ever helped your mom change a busted tire on a sunny day? No. No. It's not correct at all. Okay, so then the correct answer is, I don't know, you don't seem like someone who's, I don't know, who's going to break your arm playing lacrosse. Do you have a neat arms for lacrosse? I'm going to guess. I don't know. I think it's A. And maybe it is A, that you broke your arm playing lacrosse. What? And what? Wrong answer. That's a what too? I'm really bad at this game so far. All right, Lucy, the correct answer is B. I was born three months early, so I couldn't leave the hospital. Whoa, so normally, like a baked potato, it takes a baby, what, nine months to bake? Yeah. So this means that you came out three months early, six months? Yeah. Three months early, you were born. Tell me what you remember about that time. I don't learn anything except for looking at photos. Oh, so that's where your memories are stored. In looking at photos from that time, what have you been told about that time? What is your family's memory from that time? My mom said that I was born three months early and that I needed to be born. So, because I was ready for the world. So I went, hello world. I was like ready for that. And I was so early and so tiny that I was three pounds. I think that's like three pounds. Three pounds is like three pounds. I know, I'm tiny. Well, good things come in small packages. Yeah. So Lucy, how do you think that having those challenges early, early, early on in your life, how do you think they've shaped you today? Because you had to probably fight to get out of the hospital when you were that little and that tiny of a baby. You had to still develop your body. That's why now I think I'm still so competitive. Oh, that's why now you're winning this game? Maybe just a little. Maybe just a little. All right. So I must do another Rodonkulous challenge. Rodonkulous challenge. All right. Can we get the challenge wheel up here? What's it going to be? What's it going to be? Repair a broken printer, eat pocket sand, give a firm handshake, take a ride on Reggie. Oh, come on. Really? All right, Lucy. I have to dump this confetti on my head. What I'm holding here is a bag of my own pocket confetti and I have to throw it up in the air. You mentioned you like doing chores, right? No. Maybe you want to clean it up when this is done. Okay, Lucy, on the count of three, one, two, three. Wow. That was more fun than I thought. Should we do it one more time? Yeah. Can we count down? Three, two, one. Wow. That was nice. Who's going to clean up this mess? Who cares? Not me. All right, Lucy. Maybe Reggie. Maybe Reggie. All right, Lucy. Are you ready for round three, the final round of this challenge? For round three, the final round of this two what's and a wow? I am. All right, the theme for this round is celebrations. So, Lucy, you're going to tell us three weird, interesting, unusual facts about your life and celebrations and we're going to guess which one is the one true wow. You ready? Is it? I had a wig themed birthday party. Or is it B? I ate 20 hot dogs at my friend's party. Or is it C? My family celebrate Halloween a week early. Okay. Is it A, you had a wig themed birthday party? Wigs as in like the wigs that you wear on your head? Like this kind of wig? Yeah, that kind of wig. A wig themed birthday party, okay? Or is it B, you once ate 20 hot dogs, 20 hot dogs at a friend's birthday party? 20. Or C, your family celebrates Halloween a week early. Lucy, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the correct answer is A. You had a wig themed birthday party. Am I correct? Grammarola? Yes, you are correct. Yay! Here's my slime whistle. Oh, I'm so thrilled. I can't believe I got the answer correct. Yay! Yay! All right. Gay, Mindy. All right, so tell me more about this wig themed birthday party. So we got a bunch of plastic mannequin heads and we put the wigs on top and then me and my friends could brush them and then cut their hair if we wanted. And we got a whole bunch of hair accessories that we could do to their hair. And then with the plastic mannequins, we got all this makeup and all of my friends put makeup on their mannequin heads. You had a wig themed birthday party where you did the hair of the wigs and you put makeup on the mannequin faces. And then did you ever wear the wigs or was it just for the mannequins to wear? Like you were a hair salon? Well, the mannequins first wore them. It was the mannequins hair at first. And then it became our hair and we would all we all named our wigs. Do you remember what you named your wig and your wig head? Think I named it Karen. Karen, what a great name for a mannequin head with a wig. Unbelievable. Amazing. And that is it for our three rounds of two what's in a wow for today. A big bonker balls. Thank you to our very special guest Lucy for joining us today and thank you for playing along with us. Lucy, we just got to know you. What would you like to challenge our viewers and our listeners to go do to get to know someone else? I challenge you to ask anyone that you don't know, maybe a classmate, a neighbor or a new friend, what their favorite song is and you tell them what your favorite song is. Oh, so you find someone, you introduce yourself first, you say like, oh, like, how do you, what do you do? How do you do that? How do you do that? You feel like, hi, I'm Lucy. I was wondering what your favorite song was. Mine is Shake It Off. Oh, okay. But what if your name's not Lucy? Can you just say like what your name is? Like, yeah, you say whatever your name is and whatever your favorite song is. Oh, okay. All right. So you go out there and you say, hi, I'm Lucy or whatever your name is. My favorite song is the Wow in the World theme song. What's yours? And then they tell you and then maybe you sing it together. But you, that's how you start a new friendship. So you get to know someone. I love it. All right. You heard it here first. Go out into the world and find someone who you don't know yet. Maybe it's a new classmate, a neighbor, another kid who you've never met before. Maybe you don't even know their name and ask them about a song that they love or a favorite song. You might just get to know them a little bit better than you ever thought you would. All right. That's all the time we have for today. Lucy, thank you once again for joining us.
