[00:00] Attention, Smartyparents. Do you run your family off sticky notes, random texts and crossed fingers? Then you need the Skylight Calendar. It's a digital calendar that syncs with Google, Apple, Outlook and more, becoming the central information hub for your family. Now, I love using the tasks feature on Who Smarted. It means no more, wait, what am I supposed to be doing? And for Smartypants, checking off their tasks makes it fun and rewarding to do chores like brushing teeth and homework. Skylight also simplifies grocery lists, meal planning and never ending pick ups and drop offs. Skylight is so confident you'll love their calendar that they offer 100% money back, no questions asked for four full months. Families are better when they're working together. Right now, Skylight is offering our listeners $30 off their 15 inch calendars by going to myskylight.com/smarted. Go to myskylight.com/smarted for $30 off your 15 inch calendar. That is myskylight.com/smarted. Hello, smartypants. Today we're digging underground into the squiggly wiggly world of worms. Before we tunnel into today's questions, let's give a dirt-tastic shout out to Lachlan in Virginia Beach, Virginia. You told us that you love Who Smarted because it's funny and helps you learn new things, and that your favorite episodes are Broccoli and Tornadoes, and that you listen every day on the drive to and from school. Wow, that is some serious smarting. Well done, my smarty friend. All right, smartypants, let's worm our way into some trivia. Question one, what do worms help improve in soil? Is it A, air and nutrients, B, sand, or C, taste? If you said A, you dug up the right answer. Worms aerate soil and help plants grow by mixing nutrients. Question two, how do worms move? Is it A, legs, B, muscles, or C, wheels? If you picked B, you've wiggled correctly. Worms use tiny muscles to stretch and contract their bodies. Encouraging start, Smartypants. Let's keep digging. We're going to tunnel over to our sponsors and be back soon with more worm wisdom. Attention, all non-mouth-breathers. This is a code red. I repeat, this is a code red, so listen very carefully. What I'm about to say will turn your world upside down. I'm transmitting to you from Hawkins, Indiana to deliver this urgent message. Something survived in the winter of 85. So get ready for an all-new animated adventure from the creators of Stranger Things. Bundle up and join Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Max, and all your most beloved characters as they uncovered new mysteries, new monsters, and their greatest adventure yet.

Return to Hawkins for a whole new dimension of Stranger Things universe in this epic animated series. Friends don't lie, so believe the hype. Stranger Things, Tales from 85, only on Netflix.

We helped launch 100 brand-new super fun podcasts. That's right. And guess what? We didn't make any of them. Nope. They were all made by Smartypants just like you at our Who Smarted podcast camp. Yep. At Who Smarted podcast camp, Smartypants learned everything they need to know to write, record, edit, and post your very own podcast. Not only that, they learned real storytelling skills, got a behind-the-scenes look at how Who Smarted is made, and actually interacted directly with me, the trusty narrator, and my good pal Chet Nickerson.

Chet and I will be there teaching, monitoring, and supporting you every step of the way, with videos, an active forum section, and even live monthly Q&A sessions where you can ask us anything.

Look, it doesn't matter if you want to be a podcaster, learning how to make a podcast provides real-life communication and critical thinking skills you'll use the rest of your life.

We're exploring worms, the tiny underground helpers of nature. Question 3. What do worms eat? Is it A. Soil and organic matter? B. Pizza? Or C. Rocks? If you chose A, that's compost correct. Worms eat decaying leaves and organic material helping recycle their nutrients. Question 4. Do worms have bones? A. Yes. B. No. C. Only really tiny ones. If you said B, you are correct. Worms are invertebrates, meaning they have no bones. Keep wriggling towards the finish, Smartypants. We've got one last worm question ahead. But first, a quick break and a worm, I'm sorry, a word from our sponsors. Welcome back. We're finishing up our underground adventure, learning about worms. Final question. Why are worms important for gardens? Is it A, they eat the plants? B, they improve soil health? C, they scare birds? If you said B, you're a garden genius. Worms improve soil health and help plants grow stronger. You really wormed your way through those questions, Smartypants. Want to learn more? Check out our worms episode in the Who Smarted Archives. Stay curious, Smartypants, and we'll see you next week for more trusty trivia.
