Okay.
Yeah.
My brain.
Can you figure it out?
Now we know so far is done.
Your guess is any higher than 26 is lower than 398.
That's how we play this game.
Higher than 58, but lower than 396.
I'll make it a so I'm two.
Oh.
Then 78, but it's lower than 396.
Oh my.
Oh yeah.
It's between 78 and 99.
Oh yeah.
Well is it going to be.
It's between 81 and 90.
Oh it's higher than 83 but no higher than 98.
It's 85 over 397.
Whoa.
Did you hear that?
That's if that was something that came out of me.
It's higher than 88 but lower than 95.
Lower the number two.
But higher than 88.
Oh yeah.
I'm singing in the, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait a minute.
Somebody just got it.
It's 89, 89.
Great job.
It's 89.
Hi, friends.
I've been playing tic tac toe with Sparky.
If you want to pla this classic game with a friend, you'll need something to write on.
Like a piece of paper and something to write with, like a pencil or marker.
You'll start by drawing four lines.
Two lines going up and down, and two lines going side to side.
This grid is your game board.
You and your friend will choose who is X and who is O. X moves first.
You'll take turn adding your letter to the board.
The goal of the game is to get three in a row.
You can go up and down, side to side or on a diagonal.
Sometimes no one gets three in a row.
This tie is called a cat's game.
No, seriously, ask Mr.
Grump I didn't just come up with that.
Whenever I get a cat's game, I like to draw ears and whiskers on it.
Try it out.
How good is your cat at Tic-Tac-Toe?
What other games can we play with a piece of paper?
Okay.
True.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's true.
Mr.
Grover says true.
Okay, so what are you going to say?
Oh.
About the cat thing you're saying?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna make you go through with you and just verify the facts.
Yeah, I can't.
Good.
We appreciate you being there and stand by to verify those facts for us.
Keep up the good work, Mr.
Grumpy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here's my friend, Mr.
Grumpy.
Yeah.
Hey, so we are still friends.
What's your favorite game to play with a friend.
Hey, Ray.
If we were going to pla Tic-Tac-Toe, would you be zeros?
I thin I would like to go with those.
I could just put.
I could draw my eyeball.
I love it, and I would like to be exes.
Well, working out so well together.
To dance so well, I like that.
Okay.
Okay.
So what's your favorite game to play with?
Your friend?
Friends.
Oh, God.
This is bingo.
I love playing.
Bingo.
Have you ever played bingo?
Okay, take the fun one, too.
I like freeze tag.
Where you go?
And you had to wait for a friend to come and tag you again.
Yeah.
Move.
Oh, bananagrams.
There's the game with bananas.
I guess so it's like.
It's like, Okay.
Do.
What do you mean, fight?
Snowball fight?
Yes.
No.
Fights are pretty fun.
Don't you need snow, though?
If.
As long as you got snow.
Snowball fight pretty good.
All right.
I don't know what.
Go where I grew up.
No.
Well, I'm sure you're going to be able to experience snow here one day.
And I bet a lot of people have fun with you, because, you know, I remember I had a cousin who lived, very far away.
Didn't usually see snow.
Came over, saw snow on my, watch this.
And we had so much fu watching our cousin experienced snow for the very first time.
Hey, don't.
Say.
Oh, hey, it's time to play.
Choose.
You have to choose a door.
One.
Two.
Three.
Once you choose a door, w find out what we're doing next.
Because we don't even know until you tell us.
So are we going to choos door number one or number two?
I don't number three.
Three.
Wondering if we can have more door options someday.
Maybe you've got a pretty good.
You know what, though?
I think it's.
You're saying it's too easy for you because you usually get this right.
Three.
All right.
I'm going to guess two.
Let's see what happens.
Okay.
Dun.
Drumroll.
Oh, boy.
What a what?
Oh.
Okay.
This game is one of my favorites.
It's called.
Well it floats.
I was I think Ray's going to sink, though.
Okay.
I'm back.
Okay.
We put something in water, and you have to tell us.
Do you think it's going to float or not?
So today, it's an apple.
What if we put an apple in water?
Do you think it's going to float an apple?
An apple?
Well, what type of apple is this?
I believ that it is a Honeycrisp apple.
Well, that matter?
I'm not.
Sure.
Is it a, is the size of the apple make a difference?
I'm not sure if it is about the size of a baseball.
I believe.
Baseball.
Well, let's see what.
Let's see what our friends think.
Okay.
Oh, right.
Now most people are thinking nope, an apple will not float.
Yep.
They're pretty heavy Random thinking like, oh, who.
Knows what they're thinking even more.
Now?
80%.
Okay, okay.
I feel sad for the apple.
Well, we're hypothesizing let's roll the tape and see what actually happened.
Okay.
It's floating.
What of that?
You know, I can't.
And I did my.
Because, you know, I've been bobbing for apples.
They're usually floating.
And if they go pop up, I think they called bobbing for apples because it's like a bobber kind of floats in the water.
All right, well, good game, everybody.
That was nice.
Guessing and yes, kind of fun.
Now you can tell people, or you can play the game at home yourself.
Tell us what you find out if it floats or not.
That'll be fun.
Hey, let's go on a field trip.
Yeah.
Hey, it's me, Rover, and I'm here with my buddy Ray and my buddy Brian.
How are you doing, Brian?
I'm doing good.
How are you?

We use about eight tons of flour a week.
We use 2,000 pounds of eggs a week.
We go throug about 50 gallons of milk a week.
Yeah.
We use pretty much any ingredient.
You can think of a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, flour, sugar.
That's a big mixer.
Usually.
Usually I just use my hands.
All right.
So once the dough comes out of that mixer, is that what we're looking at here.
We're gonna do somewhat some things with it here.
Yeah.
They're actually shapin the hoagie buns right now.
Oh.
Which is great for your sub sandwiches a steak and cheese maybe.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
So how many different thing do you make here at your bakery?
We make over 500 different items.
Sometimes you say 500.
Yeah.
Funny.
How do you keep track of all those?
So we have binders all over the place.
And then we also have everything on computers just to make things a little bit easier.
Oh, who, who wrote the recipes?
So for the most part, a lot o those are my recipes for that.
Like, Jenna also made a lot of recipes.
And then if everybody wants to try new things, they also get to add recipes as well.
So could you put oh, lik a sandwich where it's made with.
Muffins on the bread?
Like a muffin sandwich?
I'd tr that.
I'd be all right with it.
