You should shoot.

That sounds like fun.

Yeah.

You know I spent most of my time outside, so, you know, to say.

Yeah, I played outside.

That's really not a big deal for me.

I usually play outside.

Well thanks for playing with us fans.

Okay, so now that we know that about each other, I can tell this is going to be a great show, right?

If 71% of you who played outside say that red is your favorite color.

Yeah.

Come on.

This sho can't get any better than that.

How could we have asked for better?

Well, if it was yellow.

Well, no.

It's okay.

There's no included in there.

They're just that one stat.

Yeah.

That's true.

That's true.

You never let me mop the floor.

And then I'm like, come on you can have the floor any day.

You can sit for as long as you set out the dishes and say, wow, the rat in the cat.

Maybe there should be bonus points for doing that work.

That rhyme.

I thought I heard you outside singing last week.

I was, yeah.

Oh, so you know the song to squirrel that I saw running by.

I thought it was Rover.

Yeah, it was me.

It was me.

Oh, it was Rover.

I mean.

I said, hey, why don't we play cracked the code.

Here's how we play.

We're goin to ask each other questions, but we're not really talking about the thin you think we're talking about.

So actually, story's goin to ask me questions about pasta.

However, I'm going to answe questions, but not about pasta.

You have to crack the code.

And guess what?

We're really talking about.

So go ahead.

You can start.

Okay.

Does pasta fit in an envelope?

Pasta does not fit in an envelope.

It's too big for a too big.

Okay.

Something big.

Like you.

They've got that little orzo pasta, right?

Yeah.

Even that.

Nope.

Pasta does not fit in an envelope.

Okay.

Oh.

Shoe tree.

Those.

Yeah, those do not.

They're just.

Those are good.

It's pasta.

Bigger than a microwave.

Sometimes pasta actually comes in a lot of different sizes.

Lots of different sizes.

Do you use pasta at school?

You do not use pasta at school?

Yeah.

I don't think that they allow pasta at school.

It would cause a commotion.

Not allowed at school cause a commotion.

Well I think people would b excited to see pasta at school because they don't normally see pasta at school.

Do you see pasta on the playground?

Pasta loves being outside and playing at the park.

Yes.

Oh, look at that.

Somebody get ready!

Go, dear.

Nice job.

Oh, my God, they got that pretty quick.

Yeah, that was good.

Guess that.

Wasn't good.

I would be excited to see a dog at school.

I know.

Would you get excited when you see dogs?

Do you like to run What happens when you see a dog?

I think dogs are fun to play with.

Okay, so you usually guys get along all right?

Yeah, usually.

That's good, because I don't think.

That people have that impression.

I think people think that cats and dogs don't get along that well.

I think it depends on the cat and depends on the dog.

Really good point.

All right, well, you guys did a great job.

You got that one really quick.

Thanks for playing with us.

And, have a great week.

Be.

Oh, boy.

What is it?

We're going to have to figure it out.

Okay.

I need you to put on your thinking brains and think about what is it?

Okay.

Look closely.

Think it over.

What do you notice so far?

What is it?

I'll make some observations.

And notice this one is one of my favorite colors.

Yellow?

Yeah.

Look at that.

Yellow.

I see some curvy lines.

I see some stray lines.

Oh, camel.

Interesting.

It could.

Well, I don't kno if it's a camel, then I think.

Oh, dumped.

Oh.

Oh.

Dump truck.

Dolphin is yellow, has metal.

It does appear to be yellow and metal.

A train heel, not a stitch.

That's, That's a strong possibility for a computer.

I wonder what the inside of a computer looks like.

Wait what's that on the right side?

Oh, a rocking horse.

Maybe it is where it goes up an down and rocks back and forth.

A bulldozer.

Interesting.

Wait a minute.

It is kind of looking like a slide.

Maybe it's a slide.

Wait, wait.

A crane?

That's a vehicle.

Yep.

That's a dump truck.

Wait a minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

Just follow the thing.

I saw something really small.

What do I do?

I cut it at the last minute.

Oh, I think there's a detail that we didn't know.

Look down at the bottom.

Yeah, it's an ant, and they can't go.

It is holding up.

Oh, bulldozer.

The world's the world's strongest ant.

Oh, man.

It's hard to know if this was the world.

I thought maybe, like, the second strongest.

Maybe.

But.

Yeah.

Turns out it's the world's strongest ant lifting a bulldozer.

We're on the right track.

I think we were pretty close.

Yeah, that's a fun game to play.

Believe it or don't.

Just like this mixture of something.

Today I'm going to share the origin of an idiom.

Idioms are phrases that would seem to mean one thing but have come to mean another.

For example letting the cat out of the bag.

It does not mean that someone' letting the cat out of the bag.

No.

Who would put a cat in a bag in the first place?

That's horrible.

But see, the thing is most of most idioms have origins where it meant something at one time, and now people use it to mean something else.

So long, long ago, people would sow piglets, which are little pigs.

You would go to the marke and you would buy a live piglet.

Then, you know, raids on the farm at your home or whatever.

But that's where this little piggy went to the market came from.

But one another segment anyway.

You would buy this little piglet, and sometimes you would get a vendor who was really kind of underhanded, or she is in this case, to fool you.

You get your money.

He would put a cat in the bag instead of the piglet, so he would sell you a cat instead of a piglet.

I mean, you'd think it would be something that would happen to yo once, and you'd go, all right.

I'm checking the bag.

It's kind of like when yo go through the drive thru today and you have to, like, check the bag.

You go.

Did we get the fries or the sandwiches there?

You won't name names but you know you have to do that more at some places than others.

So just like you would check your bag at the drive thru nowadays, peopl would have to go check their bag and make sure they had a piglet and not a cat.

And if you had to check your bag, the cat jumps out of surprise.

You let the cat out of the bag.

Now you know the truth.

So today when people sa you let the cat out of the bag, basically it means you let something be known that you weren't supposed to let me know.

It's supposed to be a secret, but it's no longer a secret becaus you let the cat out of the bag.

And that's how we got the chain.

You let the cat out of the bag.

Believe it or.

Don't, doesn't matter to me.

Wow.

Now, that seems sounds reasonable to me.

I guess I'll write.

It was fascinating learning about the dog.

I think that out of the bag.

Have you ever let the cat out of the bag right.

What are we talking.

This is like, So, like, metaphorically.

Like.

Yep.

Just like that.

Just like the idiom.

Have you ever let the ca out of the bag, you say?

Yeah.

Not really sure, but, I remember once, Jim.

Once, kind of let the cat out of the bag.

Yeah.

Noticed that earlier today, too.

All right.

Hey, listen.

We asked you to believe in Indianapolis, but here's what you guys thought.

Most of you, when you heard this story from Mr.

Grumpy.

What Most of you did not believe it.

You do not believe that?

That is the origin of.

Let the cat out of the bag.

I don't know.

He seems pretty believable.

I mean, I think he's pretty credible, but.

Yeah, right now, most you said no, I won't leave that guy.

The question, then how do we know?

Where do we go to find out?

Well, you know, there's this great thing called the internet, and they have great ways for you to research, find different sources.

You have to find sources you trust.

There's also a place called the library.

There you go.

That's one of these things.

That's what I was going for.

Yeah.

Yeah, you can use either one.

And you know, what's great is you want to use multiple sources.

Yeah.

See what you can find.

Right now we've got one source that's Mr.

Grumpy and that, you know, if you find out anything exciting beyond that, you let us know for sure, because I'm going to believe it right now.

I'm going to check a few.

At least three.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You want to check at least resources, right?

Sooner or late you're going to go okay.

Yeah.

That seems feasible to me.

Yeah.

It's good to use your mind that way.

Yeah.

All right, let's come.

The memory game.

I should have known.

I was thinking to myself, what are we doing now?

I couldn't remember, but of course it's the memory game, right?

What does that mean?

Says Roddick.

I'm nuts.

Yeah.

Okay, so here's how we play the memory game.

We're going to show you some things really quick.

Ten items.

I'm looking.

At, you have to watch, and then you have to see how many you can remember.

You're not going to get the long.

So take a look.

You ready?

I'm ready I'm ready to look closely.

All right.

Okay.

There they are.

They're all office supplies.

So that kind of helps, right.

A couple that.

Righty.

Why would you go.

Oh, they're coming back now okay.

Yep.

Here's a second.

Look.

You're going to get a three looks.

They're all really quick.

So you okay.

All right.

Take your last look here.

We got.

One okay I got one remembered.

Three I'm thinking about it.

All right.

Let' see how everybody dead.

Sorry.

Now you're going to type i whatever ones you can remember.

And hopefully collectively, we can come up with this and go, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I remember one.

Can I take.

But I say, what?

How should I let the people play.

Well yea I guess let's see what happens.

What do you hav a favorite supply you yourself.

Like even when you go to buy supplies for school they have a favorite.

Yeah.

Watermelon.

What?

What do you use a watermelon for?

Isn't it obvious?

Well, now, that's why I'm asking.

I'm curious.

I want to know.

It's a snack.

Wow.

Is it an office supply?

Just for when you get hungry.

I guess a snack would be a good supply, I consider.

I do consider snacks, not office supply.

You know I like the way you think, right?

Because you're thinking out of the box right now.

And yeah of course you need a watermelon.

Okay, okay, we've got one.

What's the last one too?

I'm missing.

Oh, everybody's.

Done.

So good.

Writing utensils.

Do we have pencils?

Low back pain pencil, paper.

Clever tape pad.

Maybe it's strawberries.

I think maybe strawberries.

Now we should have packed strawberries.

I don't think that was one of them.

Now.

I think I know what it is.

Do I think I know what it is?

Should I give it away?

Because I. What's the clue for it?

Well, it's got numbers on it.

It does have numbers on it and little lines, if I'm remembering correctly.

I know I think I do too.

It is a roller coaster.

Okay, great.

I wasn't sure if I had learned that, but yep, that's it.

Thanks for helping us out.

That was great.

You guys did a really good job.

That was a tough one.

Good.

All right.

Well, thanks for playing the memory game.

I think it's watermelon.

I have a hard time waking up sometimes.

Yeah, that seems pretty early.

Okay.

We got to go on to the next game I. Oh, and it's a really good one.

It's easy as pie.

Watermelon pie.

Okay.

Well we call this one easy as pie.

I don't know if you've ever tried to make a pie.

It's not really heaven.

So we're gonna have to ask Mr.

Grumpy to look into that one.

I'm not sure where that one came from.

Okay, but here's what we're asking you today.

We're asking you what' your favorite day of the week?

Now, the reason today is called Easy as Pie is because there's no right or wrong answer.

We're just asking you how you feel.

You've got three options.

Door number one, number two, or door number three.

Once you've picked the door we find out where we're going.

That's what we're going to do.

Ray is always really good at this one.

He swears he does not use an alien mind power, but I think he does because I think he's gonna like a 90% track record.

We're going to play a game.

This one's called Quick question.

This game.

Here's what we do.

We're going to send you on a quest.
