    Digging for Answers: The Engineering Marvel of America’s 250th Anniversary 2,000-Pound Time Capsule!

    America's 250th birthday is almost here! And to celebrate America's 250th, the Wow in the World crew uncovers an incredible story about “America’s Time Capsule.” But before they learn about the science of a centuries-long experiment for America's 250th, they stumble across a very different time capsule – or at least Gramma G-Force's version of one! This time capsule, that time capsule… they all play a starring role in an adventure filled with buried mysteries, future discoveries, and a whole lot of holes in Guy Raz’s yard. When Guy Raz discovers Dennis and Thomas Fingerling digging dozens of holes across his front yard, he demands answers. Gramma G-Force is convinced that she buried priceless treasures somewhere on the property years ago… But as it turns out, Gramma G-Force may not be the greatest long-term storage expert. That's when Mindy introduces everyone to the fascinating world of time capsules—special containers designed to preserve objects, stories, and memories for people far in the future. The conversation quickly turns to one of the biggest time capsule projects ever planned: a massive 2,000-pound capsule being created to honor America's upcoming 250th birthday celebration! As Mindy and Guy explain how engineers, preservation experts, and historians are working together to design a capsule that can survive for 250 years underground, the gang discovers the surprising science behind preserving history. Packed with laughs, surprising engineering, American history, and a glimpse into the future, this episode explores how people preserve memories across centuries—and what objects from today might tell future generations about the world we live in now. Grab a shovel, save a souvenir, and get ready for a journey through time with the Wow in the World gang! ✨ Don’t miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World: Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!

    Why Sports and Soccer Fans Go Wild! The Science of Superfan Brains & A Big Bee-Ball Rivalry

    Sports and soccer fans, this one’s for you! In a brand-new episode of Wow in the World, Mindy, Guy Raz and the crew gather for the biggest event in Bee-Ball history… the Boo Boo Beenie Bopper Bee Ball World Saucer Championships! As the Buff-Tail Buzzers face off against their bitter rivals, the South Town Stingers, the competition gets intense, the emotions run wild, and sports super-fandom gets taken to a whole new level! While the crowd buzzes with excitement and the championship hangs in the balance, Mindy uncovers fascinating science about what happens inside our brains when we root for our favorite teams. Why do some fans stay cool under pressure while others lose their minds when a rival scores? What makes victories feel so amazing—and losses feel so devastating? To find out, Mindy dives into a real scientific study that used MRI brain scanners to peek inside the minds of devoted soccer fans while they watched their teams win and lose. The researchers discovered that when our favorite soccer team succeeds, the brain’s reward system lights up like a celebration parade! But when soccer rivals score or our team falls behind, the parts of the brain responsible for self-control can become less active, making strong emotions even harder to manage. Packed with laughs, buzzer-beating action, bee-themed mayhem, and mind-blowing neuroscience, this episode explores the powerful connection between soccer, emotions, and the brain. Tune in to discover why cheering for a team can feel so personal, how our brains react to wins and losses, and why understanding those reactions might help us become better competitors—and better teammates—both on and off the field. ✨ Don’t miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World: Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!
