1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Hey, Ero, how are you guys doing today?

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:05,719
Speaker 2: We're great. I love it.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: We have been together for your podcast, we've been together

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,519
for all the books that you've written, and now you're

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,839
the best. Oh dude, you guys are the best because

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,760
you sent me these toys. I'm a kid in a

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,879
candy store right now.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god. You know.

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: I sat there when I was doing all the research

10
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:25,519
last week, just so jealous of every child these days

11
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:29,719
because with stemweek and Steam Month happening, they have all

12
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:31,920
the best toys. And then to have it here in

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,000
my house right now, I'm just blown away by your generosity.

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: Oh, you're awesome. Well, we're blown away by your generosity

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,119
for supporting us all these years when we started with

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,960
books and other things that we wanted to put out

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,399
into the world, and now we've got toys arrow And

18
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,439
the coolest thing is is that this all started from

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,119
a podcast, our podcast well in the world, and we're

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,719
so blown away that today it's the biggest kids podcast

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,799
in the world. And it was really designed to get

22
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,560
kids psyched and jazzed about science in a fun way. Right.

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,040
It's a cartoon for the year, and it's not just

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,000
for kids. It's for parents too. It's designed to make

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,599
them laugh and get them so interested in really cool

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,680
scientific discoveries. And now we've got toys, and so that's

27
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:17,799
why we sent them to you, because we wanted you

28
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,760
to experience the joy of cracking open a geode or

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,640
stopping a stop rocket and learning about rocket dynamics, or

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,159
or at exploding volcano and understanding why magma pressure happened

31
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:34,519
and why they blow out through a volcano.

32
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: The gields are just so they're spectacular. They really they

33
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:40,760
play with my imagination. I can't wait to see this

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959
in front of other ones that basically because because they're

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,760
age appropriate, I want to be with those that are

36
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,200
age appropriate to play with these games, so I can

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,799
just be excit, you know, excited like I am right now.

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we really wanted to design toys that kids and

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,879
parents can play together, so you know, cracking open these

40
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:05,400
and learning what's inside, and you know, the a lot

41
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,680
of these toys grown ups played with when they were kids.

42
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:13,280
And so all of these toys also come with companion audio,

43
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:15,719
so you can get click on a QR code and

44
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:19,120
get secret mini episodes of Whole in the World from

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,120
us that go along with the toys, facts about the toys.

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,319
Everybody's going to be learning something and everyone's going to

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
be laughing and having fun together. So we really wanted

48
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,639
parents and kids to connect through these as well, because,

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960
like I said, a lot of parents played with toys

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,840
like this when they were kids. So it's kind of

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,439
nostalgic for so especially.

52
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,759
Speaker 1: When it comes to that rocket, because but when when

53
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,439
I was a kid, when we shot the rocket up,

54
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:41,599
it crashed back down in the earth and then you'd

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,280
have to go buy another one. But right here, you've

56
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,400
got three reusable rockets that come in this one package,

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,919
and I just love it. Yeah.

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: One of them, Yeah, been Toots. One of Toots arrow.

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: It's got any whoopy cushion attached, which was an idea

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,800
that we had and everyone thought, oh, that'd be funny

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840
if and then we realized we could.

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And these things lie, man, they lie.

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: So satisfying to stomp on that bladder.

64
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,159
Speaker 1: If listeners haven't discovered your cubes yet, they've they've got to,

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,879
because I was really blown away by the octopus Dan.

66
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:19,840
And there's so many different things that you guys are

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,400
doing to bring the listeners to your storylines.

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just trying to meet kids wherever they are

69
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400
and bring them along these adventures with us.

70
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: What have you learned from the toys now? Because I mean,

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,919
I mean, you just keep growing and growing and growing.

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,759
What would be next on your horizon?

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,039
Speaker 2: Man? We I mean, first of all, we're super excited

74
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,639
about these toys because it's not just kind of classic

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,199
science toys reimagined right, and it's also it's also just

76
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,759
a world that we want to kind of hopefully inspire.

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,840
I mean, look, we're living in a digital world today.

78
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,319
Most kids are exposed to screens interacting with screens, and

79
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,719
that's fine. I'm not saying screens are all good or

80
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,719
all bad, but I think that we're missing something. We're

81
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:11,560
not touching and playing and have this tactile experience with toys.

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360
We know that there's real science behind this idea that

83
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,160
when kids can interact with a toy, especially a science toy,

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,079
you know, a light of terrarium or a high flying

85
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:25,040
air rocket that we're making, or the sea creature's aquarium,

86
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,839
when you can touch it, feel it, interact, read it,

87
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:31,000
test it, try it again and again, it fires off

88
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:35,279
things in the brain that are critical for development. You know,

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,639
in kids age five to twelve. I mean, that's really

90
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,759
what we're about. We're not, you know, we're not trying

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,639
to capture kids' attention by making a silly video or

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480
or something that's just going to keep them scrolling through

93
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:54,720
an app. We're really trying to capture their imaginations and

94
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:01,720
to inspire them to think creatively and to of just

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,480
just appreciate and kind of just consider the wonders of

96
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:08,439
the world around them.

97
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: And we've also learned that it's scientifically proven that kids

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,279
learn through play, and I believe that adults do too.

99
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Wow. What you've done here is just absolutely fantastic. Where

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,319
can people go to get more information about this and

101
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:24,759
get these things into our children's lives.

102
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: Well, you can find these toys on Amazon. You can

103
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,600
find them by just searching for Wow in the World

104
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,800
or going to Amazon dot com slash Wondery Kids.

00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Please come back to the show anytime in the future.

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,519
The door is always going to be open for the

107
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:40,759
two crazy people like you.

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: Thank you, Aero, thanks Errow.

109
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Will you guys be brilliant today? Okay, you too, Thank

110
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:48,160
you
