Hey Wowzer fans, the summer of WoW is
0:32
here. And
0:51
all summer long, we'll be sharing
0:54
weekly Find Your WoW missions for
0:56
you to do at home. This
0:58
week's mission is all about birds.
1:00
We challenge you to make a
1:02
bird feeder. You can construct your
1:05
bird feeder using upcycled materials
1:07
like milk cartons or plastic
1:09
bottles. And don't forget
1:11
some kind of ledge or perch for
1:14
your bird to rest on while they
1:16
eat. Oh, and don't forget the birdseed
1:18
either. Turns out most birds do not
1:20
like hot dogs and ice cream.
1:23
And once you complete this
1:25
mission, there's more. Visit wondery.com/summer

1:37
summer of WoW. The summer of
1:39
WoW is now. When
1:44
there's trouble, there's no replacement.
1:46
For a hero in his
1:48
mother's basement, it's Super We
1:50
WoW. On the weekend, he's
1:52
got superpowers and he's a
1:54
great musician. With his sidekick
1:56
Reggie, the giant pigeon, it's
1:58
Super We WoW. Why
8:01
do you drag me to all these movies
8:03
if you're just gonna fall asleep? I was
8:05
not a sleep guy, Roz. I was just
8:08
watching it with my eyes closed. Well, we better
8:10
get out of here, Mindy. They're starting to clean
8:12
up this theater. Anyway, Reggie's about to run out
8:15
of time on the parking meter. Okay, well, let
8:17
me just pack up all my stuff here. Ah!
8:20
Ah! Ah! Did you really need
8:23
to bring a suitcase full of snacks? Do me a
8:25
favor and just sit on it here so I can
8:27
try to latch it shut. We didn't eat as many
8:29
as I thought we would. Ah!
8:31
Ah! There we go. Perfect. Alright, let's go. So,
8:35
what did you think of the movie?
8:37
You know, I was a little skeptical
8:40
about a ninth sequel in the Revengers
8:42
series, but this one really
8:44
seemed to hold up a really
8:46
inspiring story. I know, right? I
8:49
am so inspired now to put
8:51
together our own pack of superhero
8:53
Revengers. Well, that's not the kind
8:56
of inspiration I was thinking about,
8:59
but I'm thinking we could get my
9:01
great uncle Godfrey to be our super
9:03
sniffer, since he's always got a runny
9:05
nose, and then maybe Grandma G for
9:08
us could be our super super, since
9:10
she loves soup so much. Er, wait
9:12
a minute. Well, hang on, Mindy. We
9:14
don't have to go and recruit all
9:16
of your relatives if we want to
9:19
put together a team of superheroes. We
9:21
don't? Well, you know, there are actually
9:23
amazing natural superheroes all around us. Like
9:25
that guy? Can I help you, sir?
9:28
Yes, I'm going to do the colossal sized coke,
9:30
please. But can I do
9:33
half coke, half nacho cheese? You
9:35
got it? Thank you. No, I'm
9:37
talking about animals with extreme
9:39
superpowers, like Reggie, for
9:41
instance. Reggie? Yes,
9:44
Mindy. Our pigeon Reggie is
9:46
a superhero. Well, he does
9:48
swoop in to save the world. I'm
9:52
not a superhero. Well, he does
9:54
swoop in to save the
9:56
broccoli when it gets stuck
9:58
between my teeth. next
24:00
week on Wow in the World.
24:05
Brought to you by Bloaty Oats cereal, the only cereal
24:07
that makes you say, ooh, I don't feel good. Raji,
24:12
you know what we have to do, right? We
24:15
have to make our own team of
24:17
superheroes. What do you
24:19
mean who will be on the team?
24:21
Well, you obviously, and me, with all
24:24
my superpowers. Raji, I
24:26
have lots of superpowers. No,
24:29
not static electricity, other
24:31
superpowers. We'll
24:34
get into it tomorrow. Now let's wrap it up so I
24:36
can call everybody I know to be on our super team.
24:39
Thanks to all you listeners out there for
24:42
tuning in to We Wow on the Weekend.
24:45
If you have a question for me,
24:47
not about static man, call and leave
24:49
me a message at 1-888-7-WowWow. That's
24:53
1-888-7-WowWow. I
24:58
just might answer your question on We Wow
25:00
on the Weekend. Okay, should
25:02
we do the goodbye song? That's
25:05
the end of the show.
25:08
I need to go and assemble
25:10
a team of crime-fighting vigilantes. But
25:13
I'll do another show tomorrow. But
25:18
for now, that's the end of the show. Bye.
25:21
Bye.
