We got it.
We have people.
We are places.
We have fun.
We have stories.
We got news in.
We got games.
We got you.
Hey, take it away.
Hello, there.
I always, I'm always dancing around with that song.
It's a good one.
Yeah.
Hi, friends.
Hey.
How you doing?
Right.
Great, great, great.
I'm excited about an inch you.
And I heard you.
I heard you just woke u because we were getting prepped.
It's amazin how you go from, like, to, like.
I'm ready.
You know, I'm a professional.
I've been doing this for a while now.
All right.
So, hey, we just want to let everybody know if you're wondering, where are these answers coming from?
Well those are friends who logged in, and you can find out information at our show TODAY.com.
Once you sign up and register, you can share answers with us, too.
It's kind of fun.
You can just go pla with your play with your daddy, and you can turn your phone, tablet, smart fridge, whatever into a remote control share with us.
It's pretty fun.
All right.
20 was the first thing we asked.
Everybody today was, are you ready for this one?
Would you ever, ever go skydiving?
Yeah.
Now, does the atmosphere of an outer space count towards skydiving?
Well, yeah, I guess you're an astronauts.
I guess you would probabl have no problem with it, right?
Right.
Yeah, we call it.
We call it space floating, actually.
Yeah.
I don't know that I would trust the parachute.
I think I'm good just with myself.
You know, skills are pretty good jumping around from tree to tree.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna say no.
That's me.
Okay.
The other question we asked everybody was, do you prefer drawing with crayons?
Markers are pencils.
Those are all pretty equal mediums.
Yeah, I was gonna say I like using them all at different times, but honestly, my go to it's crayons.
I could see that.
Yeah, crayons I want they're great.
There's so many different colors and they're fun to work with.
Yep.
So I gotta say crayons.
If you had to choose one Ray, what are you choosing?
Which is markers.
Because then I can get really specific and then but I do like the texture of a crayon.
But then the pencils.
Classic.
So this is quite a conundrum of possibilities.
It is.
I hat we asked all our friends, let's see wha everybody watching today said.
Here's the answers our viewers today.
Fun fact.
Okay.
And then you know, when you learn this, you can share this with people today, you'll say, hey, did you know that 50% of yours who would never go skydiving prefer drawing with crayons?
And then they might say something like, oh no, I didn't know that.
Thanks for sharing their with me, Ralph.
Wow.
That's nuts.
It is.
It's really so.
Anyway, thanks for sharing with us everybody.
That's really awesome.
So now that we know that we can get on with the show, let's play a game okay?
Okay.
I alway forget how does this game work?
Well, here's the thing.
I hope you have your thinking cap on because we're gonna show you some objects really, really quick.
You get to see him three times.
Oh, just a quick glimpse.
Then you have to try to remember all ten that we showed you.
Yeah, I find this little stressful.
Personally.
It is kind of stressful.
All right, here we go.
Take a look.
Okay.
Are you remembering?
Okay, I'm gonna do it away.
Okay.
They come back.
Yeah.
I notice a pattern there.
Green and orange.
Wait.
Work as a team.
Somebody take the top row.
The middle row in the bottom row.
I've got hair.
Turtle line here.
Turtle line.
I bet the turtle line at the frog.
Okay, okay, now we gotta be quiet, and we're gonna let the viewers try to remember.
What things do you remember seeing?
Do you remember they were green and orange?
Those are your only clues that were giving you.
Unless it gives you one.
Because it really likes to give a free answer on the board all the time.
Dirty turtle line turn alone.
But come on with each other.
Lines I'm helping you.
You're giving all the answers away.
I'm helping out my friend.
I think this might be a record for the memory game.
I don't think we've ever completed it this fast, but we're still stuck.
But now they said that's a great technique.
Thanks for telling me.
They probably did.
All right, here's the thing.
The bottom row.
I do remember they were all green.
So can you remember another green thing that we're missing right now seeing the bottom row I actually I recited it.
I didn't sing it.
I recited it a couple of times.
Can I give a clue I'm just going to give a clue.
It was something that grows on a tree.
I thought, I'm going to say it was something that grows on trees.
It might be an apple.
I'm just guessing based on your clue.
It was green light grows on a tree.
Some trees are.
Some apples are green.
So it was today.
And I still think even thoug we're waiting on that last one, it might have been record time.
Nice job everybody.
Hey, let's go to stories.
She's going to help us write the world's best story today I can't wait.
Yes.
Hey, friends story here.
Reporting live with the world's best story today.
And what's really cool about this story is that we're going to make it together.
Woo!
And so we asked you to share some nouns.
And a noun is a person a plac a thing or maybe even an idea.
So for example you could say pork slice jr the studio a candlestick and your idea will become part of our story.
Okay.
Are we ready?
Here we go.
Today's story is going to be a fashion report.
All right.
Here we go.
As we all know, trend change quicker than the seasons.
And speaking of now is the season of thrifting.
Yes.
Thrifting is when you purchase clothin that's already been used before.
So that gets a second life, which is pretty nice.
It's good for the environment, too.
Okay, so, mayb we can bring in the word board so we can see your ideas that you shared.
Woo!
Very nice.
Okay.
And there's one pre-loved item that you're bound to see if you're walking down any street.
Yeah.
That's right.
Everyone is picking up secondhand spaghetti to wear as a tie.
Yep.
Secondhand spaghetti.
It's all the rage right now.
And Sparky was able to snag some for next to nothing.
And he sai that he feels really fabulous.
And in everyda casual wear, people have started wearing a leaf on their elbows.
Yeah, they're just picking them up right off the ground.
That's a great way to find a deal, and especially with all the different colors when you're in fall.
Yeah, that's a great option there.
And oh what if you're feeling fancy?
Well, the newest fad in formalwear is to wear shoes that are as tall as a grasshopper.
They're very low to the ground.
Grasshoppers are pretty tiny.
These shoes.
They're just the same.
And you might not be able to notice.
But if you have ever measured a grasshopper before, it's the same size as these new shoes.
Yeah.
So if you are looking at the red carpet, you're going to see people are wearing dresses and they've got their grasshopper high shoes.
It's pretty neat.
Jack Lumber, who's been known for his sharp fashion sense.
Yeah.
He said that he added a pair to his wardrobe and they make him feel like a million cats.
Yep.
And I woul know, cats are pretty fabulous.
Ooh.
What abou something that goes with shoes?
In athletic wear.
Let's see.
Oh, people are wearing waterproof hats that look like a lion.
That is the new trend.
Pretty exciting.
Yeah.
As I think I need to get one of those, I think that I would be a really great lion in my waterproof lion hat.
And I think that might be all we have for the world's best story today.
That was our fashion report.
Thanks for your ideas, friends.
I can't wait to see what looks we come up with next.
You going to the cit with all our friends and women, and we're gonna see a peccary.
Hi, friends.
We're here at the John Bal Zoo again today with our friend Sarah.
Hey, Sarah.
How are you doing?
Good.
How are you?
Good.
It's good to see you.
Hey, how's it going through?
Are you guys still carpooling?
Guys, we are carpooling.
She's stole my neighbor.
She has my garage door opener in her car.
Oh, I love it.
I love that you guys.
That's really great.
Yeah, it's so cool.
We see you in here today.
So right now we're going to be looking at our Chacoan peccaries.
So when you look at them, they look like pigs.
But they're not pigs.
So they're actually pick pick a Jason's or pseudo pigs is kind of what we call them.
They actually are more desert animals for these guys rather than pigs.
They are some similarities.
But also there's a couple of things that keep them a little different than pegs.
So you'll see that they don't have those giant tusks that hogs might have.
So with these guys, their teeth actually grow straight.
It interlocks with their jaws, making their jaw by a very strong.
They also don't have really much of a tail.
So you see like pigs, they have kind of like little curlicue tail.
So these guys, they have a little tiny little nubbin is what we kind of make a joke about.
But it's very not noticeable.
Well, and now with those teeth that they have what kind of things do they eat.
So they are actually omnivores.
So their diet mainl consists of fruits and veggies.
But they do root around for some grubs, some like some worms and some insects.
Did he have a favorite food, do you think if they if you said, okay, listen, you can have your favorite every day this week, what would they choose?
So they would actually go for your sweet potato or carrots.
So we use that for their training.
So they would actually prefer that probably more than fruit one.
So what kind of things do they like to do for fun.
They love to follow.
So we have nice big wallo areas for them to go in mud pits so they'll still cover themselves to keep insects off keep some the sun covering them.
And they also love to root.
So there's a lot of holes in the yard for them that they've created.
So it's kind of like a game of reverse landmines that I have to dodge.
Then they just kind of sleep in.
Oh that's fun.
Well, so now if they were going to have a race with, say, me or Ray.
Who do you think would win?
Are they pretty fast?
They are very fast.
So they are one of those animals that in a fight and flight moment they are going to run, so they will run.
I don't know the exact speed, but is a lot faster than what I can run.
Well maybe we can have a race later.
Yeah, maybe.
I love running around so they look like they'd be fun to play with.
Yeah, they they do.
They have.
They like to flare up their hair and then run around and get like we call zoomies.
Oh.
All right.
Well thanks for sharing with us.
We appreciate you taking the time to tell us all about our friends today.
They di get the zoomies and we did it.
We did have a race later.
And Ray, you actually you were surprisingly good.
I think you used your jetpack though, which I'm not sure that that' fair, but yeah, but it was fun.
We was zooming around.
We had fun.
I did, I remember, I remember that day I was feeling particularly Waluigi.
I was wallowing as well as.
Yeah, but we wallowed wit we wallowed with the peccaries in the mud.
It was pretty fun.
It was processing a lot about these animals.
It was a lot to take in.
All right.
So, hey, we asked everybody if you could have your favorite food every day this week.
What would it be?
Maybe sweet potatoes like them?
I don't know, I like sweet potatoes, but here's what you said for the food.
Pink.
Purple flamingos.
Cheeseburger.
Yeah, it's hard to go wrong with the cheeseburger every day for a week maybe.
Oh great frogs is a franken cheesy.
That sounds amazing.
That's how it's really good.
I could see that every day, too.
Oh, wet monkey says tacos.
I like tacos, and the thin with tacos, you can shake it up.
Oh, blue squirrel pizza.
Yeah, pizza's good too.
You can put different toppings on every day, right?
You're still shaking it up, pie.
Oh, Tambo says pie.
I could have pie every day I put you away.
Could you do it?
I think it would depend on the type of pie I think we're gonna have to try.
I think it's doing next to.
I think it's to be to just say general speaking pie.
I cannot come to a conclusion with that.
I need more information.
A black bat said chips.
Blue shark said pasta.
I think something with protein would be the most ideal situation there.
Toast is it is the protein interest.
It depends on the toast.
Oh, gravy.
Yep.
Red elephant says gravy.
I think there's lots of protein and gray.
Now we're talking.
Yeah we're talking.
That would be a good protein choice and in a good texture choice.
Hey, speaking of pie, it's time for easy as pie.
Sounds great transition.
Thanks.
Game.
Easiest pie because it's the easiest game we have.
All I got to do is tell us your opinion.
That's the meaning to say I don't.
I don't really know about this game personally.
It's one of my game that you struggle with this one.
Yeah, I do sometimes think it might be a game that well, I don't know.
Maybe we should, I should okay, well, here's a question that we asked everybody.
What if you struggle with this one.
Right.
Are you ready?
Okay.
We asked everybody today just what your favorite article of clothing is.
Okay.
So what is your favorite article of clothing?
What's your favorite color coding?
Well, pajamas.
All right.
There you go.
Pajamas.
I'm gonna say pajamas too.
Now we see what everybody els said.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
That's all there is to this.
That's all there is of the game.
And look at that.
This was the big winner.
You and I were thinking like all the viewers were.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a second.
But you okay?
No big pajamas.
The data has shown that it is half and socks.
Interesting socks.
But then what do we do with this information?
Well, we just know that's it.
And that's the game.
That was the whole game.
I don't know if that's a game.
We learned that everybody's favorite article of clothing for the most part pajamas, shirt or socks.
People like being comfy.
That's what I'm hearing.
Comfort is fashion.
I've heard that one.
Have you ever heard that one?
No, really, I like.
Here, write this down.
Comfort is fashion.
I don't have a thing.
Is that for chose?
Okay, Ray, you always do really good at this.
Friends.
At home.
You need to pick a door right now.
Door number one.
Doo number two.
Door number three.
We have no idea what's coming next until you tell us we open the door, we see what's next.
Ray always does really good guessing this one.
What are you choosing?
What happens if I choose not to choose a door?
Then we're gonna have a problem because no door will open.
I don't believe that.
I'm going to go with two.
I think you're just fooling with me now.
Well you don't have to choose to.
Do.
Our viewers have to?
Yeah, I'm going with two.
And you're going to refuse to choose.
I'm gonna sit this one out.
All right, let's see what happens.
I'll play.
The viewers have chosen.
I went with two.
The viewers went with two.
Did you?
Was.
Maybe I influenced the boat.
I'm not sure.
Maybe.
Oh, hey, it's time for handmade.
Oh, cool.
Oh.
There's hand.
What did you get here today?
I have no, because the goal is that his pencil.
That's the letter B. That's the letter B. I think he might be trying to send us something.
Now, wait a minute.
I doubt be okay.
I think it's a taco.
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
Wait a minute.
Maybe it's a Frankenweenie in a taco shell.
It was a there was something cheesy.
Oh, I see, I had there.
That's a bird squad.
It's a pretty little butterfly, I think.
Or is it a that's actually, that's a moth I think maybe.
No, I think it's a butterfly.
I think I don't think that moths are multicolored.
They don't have that pattern like that.
What which part of the universe we're thinking of?
Oh, yeah.
I keep forgetting that you've traveled.
You're very well traveled.
I'm just usually stuck to this town, so it's hard for me to get around like you.
But you're really fast.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, hey, we asked everybody this butterfly needs a name, and he suggestions.
Oh, glory.
Fly me gomery flutter.
I like that mouse.
Yeah.
Flutter is a great name for butterfly.
I'm gonna do some flutter camo.
Good job.
Tilt there.
Yeah.
What kind of camo?
Oh, wait.
I can make a butterfly with Jack.
I like that one.
Red elephant flapjacks.
Good.
I made a butterfly.
Do you see it?
Oh, hey.
Hey, how you doing?
I like it, tail frog.
It's nice.
Simple.
A great frog says happy.
Happy the butterfly.
Yeah.
That's good.
And just making money.
I'm distracted.
Amy' nice name for a butterfly, too.
Good job, red monkey.
Oh, black bad says hungry.
Hungry.
The butterfly.
Yeah.
I'd see a lot of work going from a caterpillar to being a butterfly.
Right.
You would probably get hungry.
You'd work up an appetite.
That does seem logical.
It does seem logical.
Hey, let's play another game This is time for a tug of war.
All right, friends playing at home, on the plane, at home in a face.
Right now, your screen ha turned either purple or yellow.
That's what.
Tandy.
Ron.
And then we're gonna have you come up with as many words as you can think of that.
Start with the letter S more then more words that people come up with on either side.
They get control of the board.
So s purple.
You're off to a really great start.
Shoot snakes.
Wow.
Look at this.
Purple.
Purple.
Come on yo.
Come on yellow.
You can't do it.
I think purple might just take over this board altogether.
We've never had that happen.
Okay we got to come back from yellow.
You put some silly words.
They're gonna split the squirrel.
Yeah, that's a great one.
That should be worth five points.
I was just thinking there should be, like, a bonus word for more points.
I think s too.
I'd say squirrel and shark.
Those would be my two words that would get bonus points I love sharks.
Squeaky is a good word.
Swim skates.
Well, I purple got off to a great start.
It reminds me of those races where you say your box get set, go and you see people get a really big start and you go, wow, they got such a good start.
It's to be hard to come back from this one.
Yellow.
I think you can do it.
I've got faith in you, dude.
Go go yellow.
Go go go.
Yellow.
Yeah.
Look at that progress.
Slow and steady.
Yellow guy.
Seasons shift.
Shake it bad, but don't fee that you're still doing great.
Yeah I think we still have time to.
We've got about 30s, I think, left in the game.
So yellow.
Oh.
That's not the end of the story, though.
You know this too.
I've never we have never had one team take complete control of the board.
Purpl is just dominating on this one.
Well, that's a strong word.
It's well look at that screen.
It's pretty strong.
It is a strong word.
But you know a strong word for a strong reason.
Yeah, but yellow is gonna go.
Don't give up your love.
Purple.
Great.
Purple dominated.
Nice job everybody I appreciate I appreciate the effort that you didn't quit yellow.
That was really good.
Even still going okay okay.
I wonder what's next.
What is next?
Yeah.
What is it?
A lot of what is it?
Games.
This one's called what is it okay.
Because we're just not sure.
So what are we going to do is we're going to show you an extreme close up here.
Are you ready?

Submarine.
Okay, here's the thing with this game.
I'm going to just let everybody know right now the answer.
And this is our producer, Sam.
She insists on u having a very specific answer.
So you can't just generally say, oh, I think it's like, you know, maybe it's a oh, I think it's an animal.
No, you have to be very, very specific.
Animal will not work.
You'd have to say exactly what it is.
Oh, this is a subway on a Saturday morning with a passenger who is eating broccoli.
That's the kind of answer we're looking for.
Yes.
It's not a blanket.
Apparently, it's not a firefighter.
It's a fire truck.
That's a good guess.
Is.
Yeah.
That is something you want to fight.
It could be.
It's a fire truck that is making a tram car.
That's good.
Wait.
Is it a fight?
Yeah, yeah.
Take a look.
Oh, I see the red fire.
I do think you're on the right track.
That right.
But specifically, it's not an airplane.
It's a food truck floating in outer space.
No, it could be okay.
Apparently, nobody got it.
I don't know if we were given enough information.
I think we were.
Yo just have to look very closely.
Oh, okay, I was told.
Nope.
It's time for the reveal.
Are you ready?

It's kind of like a mouse.
It's kind of like a mouse.
Little different.
I don't think they got the same tail.
They like to dig down on the ground, I see it, yeah, I tell vault, driving a fire truck that one's always really hard.
Don't feel too bad.
Especially if you're on a team.
Yellow.
