How do we perceive the world around us? With our senses, of course! Evan gets a closer look at the world of sight with eyeglass merchant Adrien Bouet in Paris, France, and Nichole tantalizes your taste buds while discussing the fantastic world of ice cream flavors with Pete Van Leeuwen of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Then we go beyond the five senses and explore two new mystery senses you may have never considered! Speaking of mysteries, Evan’s Cryptid Corner takes on the Thunderbird; a legendary creature with a wingspan so broad it’s said to whip up storms! We’re introducing a new segment this episode: Bobby the Bigfoot hosts “Name Stuff,” a game show where kid contestants try to guess what grown-ups do for their jobs. All that, plus Nichole makes a spirited argument against Daylight Savings Time, and you’ll enjoy our usual run of jokes, hijinks, Grandparent Stories, Favorite Sound, and a superstar of a sensory riddle. Let’s get wild!
