- A Thousand Ryans Ride a Coaster / Eighty-Foot Basketball Shot / Lost Pouch Animals Found in Australia / Caller from Turkey: Jumping and Spilling TeaSay What?! is the daily news show for kids 5 to 10, where three real, strange, true stories get the absurd comedy treatment. Today: more than a thousand people all named Ryan gather at a giant shopping mall and ride the same roller coaster, one after another, for a brand new world record. A basketball player in Egypt steps back eighty feet and sinks the shot, then does it again, breaking two world records in a single day. And real science: scientists in Australia find tiny teeth in old rocks belonging to a whole branch of pouch animals nobody knew existed, mouse-sized bug-eaters from eighteen million years ago. Plus a Friday caller from Turkey who cannot stop jumping and has spilled two years of tea.

9 min - Clever Parrot Rules the Roost With a Broken Beak / Mystery Space Balls Wash Up on a Beach / The Birds That Forgot Their Own SongSay What?! is the daily news show for kids 5 to 10, where three real, strange, true stories get the absurd comedy treatment. Today: a clever New Zealand parrot named Bruce lost part of his beak as a chick and invented his own way to eat, becoming the undisputed boss of the flock. Then, six mysterious shiny metal spheres washed up on an Australian beach and had firefighters in hazmat suits standing by, until scientists revealed they were just harmless space junk. And finally, scientists in Australia are teaching endangered baby songbirds the right tune, because with so few adult birds left, some chicks never got to learn their own species' song.

About Say What?! - A Daily Kids News Show
From the publisher's feed
Pip wants to tell you what happened in the world today. So does Vera, but she's mostly going to roll her eyes about it. Brad's just here for the vibes. And Grump? Grump is mostly asleep but somehow…
always says the wisest thing.
Welcome to Say What?! — the only daily news show for kids 5 to 10 where the news is real and everything else is also somehow real. Every morning, the four hosts dig into three of the strangest, funniest, most "did that actually happen?" stories from around the world. A goat eating a town's welcome mats. A truck full of bees loose on the highway. A robot delaying a flight to San Diego.
On Fridays, things get wilder. We get a caller from somewhere different in the world — China one week, Brazil the next, Jamaica the one after — and we try our best to help them with a problem that only really happens in their country.
Stories are real. Reactions are loud. Everyone's fine in the end (even the goat).
Made for car rides, breakfast tables, and bedtime giggles. About 5 to 7 minutes per episode. A new one every morning.
