Key Discussion Points & Insights

Warm-Up: “Wrong Answers Only”

[05:00–06:14]
To get Lucy ready for the truth-guessing game, Mindy leads her through a rapid-fire round where Lucy’s answers must be intentionally wrong.

• Memorable Q&A:
  • Mindy: "Where do fish live?"
    Lucy: "The toilet."
  • Mindy: "What should you do if you're chased by a bear?"
    Lucy: "Hug it."
  • Mindy: "What do you put in an ice cream cone?"
    Lucy: "Poo."
  • Mindy: "What color is the sky?"
    Lucy: "Pink."

Quote:
“All right, Lucy. Amazing. Do you feel warmed up?” – Mindy Thomas (06:23)
“I do.” – Lucy (06:23)

Game Segment: Three Rounds of Two Whats and a Wow

Round 1: Jobs

[07:20–12:30]
Lucy presents three possible past jobs:

• A: Junior Lifeguard
• B: YouTube Influencer
• C: Cat Search and Rescue Team

After humorous deduction, Mindy guesses (incorrectly) that Lucy was a YouTube influencer. The real "wow" is:
Lucy’s true job was as part of a Cat Search and Rescue Team—rescuing her escape-artist cat from a neighborhood sewer with her dad’s help!

Quote:
“So then he [my dad] has to lift up that grid thing on the sewer and lower me down into the sewer to look for him.” – Lucy (10:09)

Potato Discussion:
Lucy and Mindy share how they like their potatoes, and the exchange leads to twice-baked potatoes, to Lucy’s amusement.

---

Round 2: Challenges

[16:09–21:31]
Lucy shares three statements about tough experiences:

• A: Broke arm playing lacrosse
• B: Born three months early, couldn’t leave the hospital
• C: Helped mom change a tire in the rain

Mindy guesses incorrectly again.
The true fact: Lucy was born three months early and spent an extended time in the hospital.

Quote:
“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.” – Lucy (19:17)

Lucy reflects that starting life with adversity has made her competitive and resilient.

---

Round 3: Celebrations

[21:40–24:53]
Lucy presents three statements about party themes and traditions:

• A: Had a wig-themed birthday party
• B: Ate 20 hot dogs at a friend’s party
• C: Family celebrates Halloween a week early

Mindy guesses correctly:
Lucy once had a wig-themed birthday party, complete with mannequin heads and a hair salon setup.

Quote:
“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...and then with the plastic mannequins, we got all of this makeup and all of my friends put makeup on their mannequin heads.” – Lucy (23:32)

Lucy says she named her wig “Karen.”

---

Connection Challenge: Get to Know Someone

[24:53–25:31]
At the end, Lucy encourages listeners to connect with someone new by sharing favorite songs.

Quote:
“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.” – Lucy (24:53)

Hey, Wowzer fams. Mindy here. And before we start the show, guess what? You can join me every Friday for two what's in a People who Wow Edition. In this Getting to Know youw game show, I'll be visited by some of the world's most fascinating people to get the wows and the what's of their lives.

And now a quick ad break and then we'll get on with the show. Hey, Grown ups. Mindy here. And do I have a wow for you. What if I told you that the best kids math program is actually inspired by comic books and it's about monsters? It's called Beast Academy. And the little monsters, like Grog, do the kind of math that gets kids curious enough to stop and think and figure things out for themselves. For example, Krog asked his Beast Academy math club, if our school has more than 366 kids in it, is it guaranteed that two of them will have exactly the same birthday? He proved that the answer is yes through problem solving. Wow, that's Beast Academy. Where kids build problem solving skills through interesting problems and puzzles. It's from the folks at Art of Problem Solving, the same people who train math champions, grown ups. Head to beastacademy.com and use code BEASTWOW for 10% off the online program. Oh, and tell Grog Mindy says hi.

Two wows and a W. Hello and welcome to two what's in a wow?

[Mindy Thomas]

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.

[Lucy]

Yeah, I think all of those kind of describe my life.

[Mindy Thomas]

All right, Lucy.

[Lucy]

Mm.

[Mindy Thomas]

Before we get started, I wanted to do a little warm up with you.

[Lucy]

Okay.

[Mindy Thomas]

So in this game, two what's in a while, 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 warmup. I'm just going to ask you a series of questions and all you have to do is is answer them incorrectly.

[Lucy]

I can do that.

[Mindy Thomas]

All right, here we go. Number one. Where do fish live?

[Lucy]

The toilet.

[Mindy Thomas]

What body part do you eat? With?

[Lucy]

My foot.

[Mindy Thomas]

What should you do if you're chased by a bear?

[Lucy]

Hug it.

[Mindy Thomas]

Where is the moon located?

[Lucy]

Florida.

[Mindy Thomas]

What? What's in my pocket?

[Lucy]

Chainsaw.

[Mindy Thomas]

What do you call your grandma?

[Lucy]

Grandpa.

[Mindy Thomas]

What do you write your homework on?

[Lucy]

My face.

[Mindy Thomas]

What do you put in an ice cream cone?

[Lucy]

I don't know if I should say this one. Poo.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, Lucy, what color is the sky?

[Lucy]

Pink.

[Mindy Thomas]

And what can you always find at the beach A fort. There we go. All right, Lucy, Amazing. Do you feel warmed up?

[Lucy]

I do.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, boy. Well, this is gonna 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 who, which one is the one. True wow. If I guess correctly, I get a point. If I guess incorrectly, I must do a ridonkulous challenge. Okay, let's get started with our three rounds of two. What's in 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.

[Lucy]

Ooh, I've probably mainly been paid to do chores.

[Mindy Thomas]

What's your least favorite chore?

[Lucy]

Walking the dogs.

[Mindy Thomas]

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. What? All right, Lucy, you ready to get started? Oh, yeah, take it away. Round one.

[Lucy]

Round one. Which of the following jobs is my true wow? Is it A, Junior Lifeguard, B, YouTube influencer, or C, cat search and rescue team?

[Mindy Thomas]

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.

[Lucy]

Who knows?

[Mindy Thomas]

A reverse mermaid.

[Lucy]

No.

[Mindy Thomas]

Okay. Or a YouTube influencer. I gotta say, you seem very comfortable in front of a camera. 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. Or maybe you like cats, you'd rather walk them than dogs. Or you know what? I'm gonna go with B. I think B YouTube influencer is your other Job. Am I correct?

[Lucy]

Wrong. Oh, man. That's just a.

[Mindy Thomas]

What? That's just a what? You're not a YouTube influencer?

[Lucy]

No.

[Mindy Thomas]

Which one is the one true? Wow. If it's not B, is it A?

[Lucy]

No, no.

[Mindy Thomas]

A's a what? You're not a junior lifeguard.

[Lucy]

I'm not a junior lifeguard.

[Mindy Thomas]

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.

[Lucy]

Yes.

[Mindy Thomas]

Tell me more about this Lucy.

[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 a sewer. So then he has to lift up that grid thing on the sewer and lower me down into the sewer to look for him.

[Mindy Thomas]

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?

[Lucy]

Depends on the time, but yes.

[Mindy Thomas]

Does your cat think it's one of the dogs?

[Lucy]

I think so. He likes to go outside, and he can go through the dog door.

[Mindy Thomas]

Wow.

[Lucy]

Okay.

[Mindy Thomas]

Your cat thinks it's a dog. So your cat.

[Lucy]

I think my cat's part dog.

[Mindy Thomas]

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.

[Lucy]

He, like. He had me the whole time. He, like, took me by the shoulders and went, boop. And then took me back up.

[Mindy Thomas]

Wow, that is amazing. And did you find the cat?

[Lucy]

Yes, we found him in our neighbor's backyard.

[Mindy Thomas]

All right, there you go. If you ever lose your cat, you just call Lucy. Lucy will go into dark, damp places to find it. All right, Lucy, that was amazing. That was round one, and I did not get that answer correct. So I must do a ridonculous challenge. Can we get the challenge wheel up here, please? Okay, it's gonna be all right. What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Perform a gazoo 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, this is kind of embarrassing. All right, well, here's a picture of me 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 Big potato. It was not a baked potato. It was raw and it was not delicious.

[Lucy]

Did it need salt?

[Mindy Thomas]

It needed a lot of salt. I tried licking it and it was disgusting. I prefer my potatoes to have salted skin with a little bit of oil and maybe a surprise inside.

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

How do you like your potatoes, Lucy?

[Lucy]

I like them called twice baked potatoes. Mm.

[Mindy Thomas]

Twice baked.

[Lucy]

They're very confusing.

[Mindy Thomas]

They're very confusing. Why twice baked? Why not once baked?

[Lucy]

Because you cut the potato in half and put them in the oven for a little bit and then you take them out. Gut the potato, take the potato guts out, and then you make the potato guts taste delicious and then put the potato guts back in and then you bake it again.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, okay. Twice baked potatoes. So they're basically mashed potatoes inside of a baked potato?

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

All right. That's your preferred method of having potatoes? I like it. Two what's in a while. We'll be right back after this ad break.

[Judd Anderson]

[Mindy Thomas]

That's it. Now back to the show. All right, Lucy, are you ready for round two of two? What's in a Wow?

[Lucy]

I am.

[Mindy Thomas]

Okay, so for round two, we are 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.

[Lucy]

Yep.

[Mindy Thomas]

Take it away, Lucy.

[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?

[Mindy Thomas]

Okay, number one. A, you broke your arm playing lacrosse. We did establish that you are a lacrosse player.

[Lucy]

I am.

[Mindy Thomas]

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 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?

[Lucy]

No. It's a what?

[Mindy Thomas]

It's a what?

[Lucy]

Really? Mm.

[Mindy Thomas]

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 gonna break your arm playing lacrosse? Do you even need arms for lacrosse? I'm gonna guess. I don't know. I think it's a. Maybe it is A that you broke your arm playing lacrosse.

[Lucy]

What? That's the wrong answer.

[Mindy Thomas]

That's a one, too. I'm really bad at this game so far. All right, Lucy, the correct answer is

[Host Introduction Voice]

B.

[Lucy]

B, I was bor early, so I couldn't leave the hospital. Whoa.

[Mindy Thomas]

So normally, like a baked potato, it takes a baby, what, nine months to bake?

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

So this means that you came out three months early. Six months.

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

Three months early. You were born. Tell me what you remember about that time.

[Lucy]

I don't remember anything except for looking at photos.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, so that's where your memories are stored in looking at photos from that time when? What have you been told about that time? What is your family's memory from that time?

[Lucy]

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.

[Mindy Thomas]

Three pounds is like three pounds.

[Lucy]

I know that's tiny.

[Mindy Thomas]

Well, good things come in small packages.

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

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.

[Lucy]

Mm. That's why now I think I'm still so competitive. Oh.

[Mindy Thomas]

That's why now you're winning this game.

[Lucy]

Maybe just a little.

[Mindy Thomas]

Maybe just a little. All right, so I must do another ridonkulous challenge.

[Lucy]

Challenge.

[Mindy Thomas]

All right, can we get the challenge wheel up here? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Repair a broken printer? Eat pocket sand? Give a firm handshake? Take a right 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?

[Lucy]

No.

[Mindy Thomas]

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?

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mindy Thomas]

Give me countdown.

[Lucy]

Three, two, one.

[Mindy Thomas]

Wow. That was nice. Who's gonna clean up this mess? Who cares? Not me. All right, Lucy.

[Lucy]

Maybe Reggie.

[Mindy Thomas]

Maybe Reggie. All right, Lucy, are you ready for round three? The final round of this two. What's and a wow.

[Lucy]

I am.

[Mindy Thomas]

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?

[Lucy]

Is it a. I had a wig themed Birthday party. Or is it B, I ate 20 hot dogs. Hot dogs. At my friend's party. Or is it C, my family celebrates Halloween a week early.

[Mindy Thomas]

Okay. Is it A, you had a wig themed birthday party? Wigs as in, like the wigs that you wear on your head? Like. Like this kind of wig?

[Lucy]

Yeah, that kind of wig.

[Mindy Thomas]

A wig. A wig themed birthday party. Okay. Or is it B, you once ate 20 hot dogs? 2. 0. 20 hot dogs at a friend's birthday party. 2.

[Lucy]

0.

[Mindy Thomas]

Or C, your family celebrates Halloween a week early. Lucy, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the correct answer is A, you had a wig themed birthday party. Am I correct?

[Lucy]

Drum roll. Yes, you are correct. Yay.

[Mindy Thomas]

Where's my flywheezle? Oh, I am so thrilled. I can't believe I got the answer correct. Yay. All right. Yay, Mindy. All right, so tell me more about this wig themed birthday party.

[Lucy]

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 of this makeup and all of my friends put makeup on their mannequin heads.

[Mindy Thomas]

You had a wig themed birthday party where you did the hair of the wigs and you put makeup on the mannequin faces and. And then did you ever wear the wigs or was it just for the mannequins to wear like you were a hair salon?

[Lucy]

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.

[Mindy Thomas]

Do you remember what you named your wig and your wig head?

[Lucy]

I think I named it Karen.

[Mindy Thomas]

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 bonkerballs. 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?

[Lucy]

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.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, so you find someone. Do you introduce yourself? First you say, like, how do You. What do you do? How do you do that? How do you do that?

[Lucy]

Be like, hi, I'm Lucy. I was wondering what your favorite song was. Mine is Shake It All.

[Mindy Thomas]

Oh, okay. But what if your name's not Lucy? Can you just say, like, what your name is?

[Lucy]

Yeah, you say whatever your name is and whatever your favorite song is. Oh, okay.

[Mindy Thomas]

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 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 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. And remember, if you want more wow, there's a lot more where that came from. Don't forget to like and and subscribe to our YouTube channel. And until next time, keep on wowing.
