Ah ah ah ah. We wow on the weekend. We wow on the weekend. We wow on the weekend. Cause this is what we do on the weekend. Talking, laughing, me and Reggie singing, laughing. And then we. Oh, wait, no, I said laughing. Uh, whatever. We wow on the weekend. Yeah, we wow on the weekend. Clap clap. We wow on the weekend. Cause this is what we do on the weekend. Hello and welcome to We Wow on the Weeknd. I'm your host, Dennis, and Reggie's here as my co host. Oh, that's a good question. What is the difference between a co host and a regular host? I guess a regular host sits on a rolly chair like this one, and a co host sits on my couch like you're doing. And the regular host tries to entertain the audience while the co host laughs at all my jokes, even when they're not funny, so that the audience thinks I'm funnier than I am. Reggie, laughing at my jokes is not a hard job. I'm hilarious. Okay, fine. Here's a joke I prepared for today. Why did the ocean wave to the beach? Nothing. It just waved. Oh, wait, no, that's not right. Reggie, don't laugh. I messed up my joke. Okay, let's move on and read some reviewsies. I'm reading reviewsies for me and for you, Z. We've got us some doozies. So let's read reviews. Z's. All right, let's get the first reviewz here. Ahem. This one's from username luthienrose1. The title says OMG screaming emoji. Oh, good scream, Reggie. And the message says, I love wee. Wow. On the weekend. P.S. reggie, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? And then there's a little ice cream emoji. Well, Reggie, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? What? Blue. Reggie, blue isn't a flavor. Oh, whatever. There's more here. P.P.S. dennis, do you like waffles? Waffle emoji. Oh, yeah. Luthien Rose 1. I am a big fan of waffles, but I find them very difficult to eat. Because of all the little squares, Reggie. Well, I like to fill every single waffle square up exactly halfway with syrup, and then I put a tiny ploop of butter in the middle of each syrupy square. A ploop, Reggie. A ploop of butter. Because that's the sound it makes. Ploop. Well, it depends on the waffle, but there's usually around 25 squares and it takes me 45 minutes to eat one waffle. Next reviewsy. Okay, this comment comes from Snakemaster 2.0. Ew, snakes. The title says the snakes and the message says I want Snake Week. What? No, no Snake Week. First you all wanted Turtle Week and now Snake Week. What would Snake Week even be? Just a week of us hanging out with snakes. And what would we do with them? Like pet them and name them and make them little hats. Okay, suddenly I'm into this. Go find us some snakes, Reggie. Fine, go find snakes later then. Next reviewsy. All right, this next Reviews from username the1link. The title says pretty good and the message says, dennis, you brag way too much, but the podcast is good. Three stars for you. What? I do not brag too much just because I talk about how I have shiny hair and tons of fans and sing with the beauty of a thousand wind chimes. That's bragging. Oh, whatever. Let's see what else it says. Five stars for Mindy and Guy Raz. And I only get three. Oh, and there's stars for you too, Reggie. Looks like you get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, terminate. And I have 12 through 2472 stars. That's not fair. Oh, you're right. Thank you for the stars, the lone link. And congratulations, Reggie. You're a very popular beloved giant pigeon. Thanks for all your refusees, listeners. Keep em coming. If you leave a comment on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, I just might read it on Wee Wow on the weeknd. Five stars or more, please, Reggie. I know it only goes to 5 stars, but I think if you click hard enough, it'll give an extra star. No, I did not just make that up. Okay, I made that up. Okay, okay, let's move on. Actually, no way. I have to use the bathroom. I don't know, go to commercial or something.

Wow in the world. We'll be right back, grown ups. This message is for you.
B
That's it.
A
Back to the show.
B
Wow in the world. Okay, I'm back. Ahem. So, Reggie, today I thought we'd try something a little different. Yeah, I was thinking instead of an inside Tinkercast Studios where we listen to one of our favorite Tinkercast podcasts, we should do a Crafternoon. Hooray. Let's do it. Pancakes are for eating and rivers are for rafting. And Broadway is for my one man show. But afternoons are for crafting. Crafternoon. Welcome to Crafternoon, everyone. This is the part of the show where we spin spend the afternoon doing crafts together. Oh, you're right. It's not afternoon yet. It's only 11:59am yeah, we better wait a second. Waiting. Waiting. Reggie, no. Don't touch anything yet. It's not time. Waiting. Almost. And okay, it's noon. Welcome to Crafternoon, everyone. Good. Good question, Reggie. Today's craft is finger painting. Reggie, finger painting is not just for kids. It's for people of any age with fingers. Oh, yeah. Or wings. Right. Toes work too. Tentacles. Um, maybe. Reggie, quit distracting me with your questions. We're getting off track and I need to get out my big tub of art supplies. There we go. Okay. Got some fingerprints, paint. Got some paper. Let's get finger painting. What do you mean, what am I doing? I'm taping bananas to my fingers because, Reggie, I don't want to touch finger paint with my fingers because it feels cold and wet and oogie. And so I'm going to tape bananas to my fingers and use those to touch the paint instead. Exactly. They're like big yellow fingers. Oh, right. I guess we're banana finger paint. Paintbrushes. Reggie, that would just be normal painting. No, this is better. Trust me. Okay, there we go. Just like that. Okay, ready? Oh, right, I forgot to open the finger paint. Um, little help. Thank you, Reggie. Okay, everyone, let's get banana finger painting. Ah, this is so relaxing. Are you relaxed, Reggie? You're not? Well, are you relaxed now? Fine. Let me know when you're relaxed. Sheesh. What are you painting, Reggie? Oh, no, wait, don't tell me. Let me guess. Is it a giraffe? No. Okay. Is it a sunset? No. Okay. Is it a cheeseburger? I don't know. Then what is it, Reggie? A postmodern examination of geometric negative space. What does that even mean? Oh, I see. Very sophisticated. Well, I'm making a banana finger painting of me riding a horse in space eating a bowl of fruit. Because, Reggie, it's not art unless there's a bowl of fruit in it. Speaking of fruit, my banana fingers are starting to mush up a little. Oh, no. Banana mush all over my hands. Now there's finger paint on the banana mush. Reggie. No, no, no, no, no. Don't help me. You have paint on your feathers. Ah, Reggie. Now my banana mush paint is covered in Reggie feather paint. Yes, I've been bananaed and painted and feathered and I want to go home. Oh, right. This is my home. Perfect. Where are my wet wipes? Thank you, Reggie. Just wipe this up here. Okay. Now, while I clean myself off, you go hang the paintings up in the art gallery. The art gallery, Reggie. Over here on this wall. Okay, good. Now come back here and let's observe our art. Let me present to you, Reggie, my banana finger painting entit Dennis and his space horse. The horse's name is Star Princess. What's your feather painting called? It's just called Reggie's art. Reggie. No, that's boring. Well, let me help you. Let's call it the essence of feather fingers. Fine. The essence of feather fingers and geometric negative. Whatever you said. Okay, I think that's enough art for one day. Let's wrap this up. Thank you to all our listeners out there for tuning in to Wee Wow on the weekend. If you participated in today's Crafternoon, you can share pictures and video with us@tinkercast.com share and if you have a question for me, call and leave me a message at 1-888-7-WOW-WOW. That's 1-888-7-WWOW Wow. I just might answer your question on Wee Woo. Okay, wanna do the goodbye song? Ahem. That's the end of the show. I have to go throw away all these mushy bananas, but I'll do another show tomorrow. But for now, it's the end of the show. Eh, Eh. Bye.
