Transcript: The Nose Knows
An animated question mark mono cycles outside Zoey’s house holding a flag with the logo of the show: a magnifying glass with a question mark inside.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey holds a dirty sock and says THIS SMELLS BAD.
She then holds a clean dress and says THIS SMELLS GOOD.
IT'S MINE.
I CAN TOTALLY TELL THE
DIFFERENCE BUT
MY DAD NEVER KNOWS WHEN HIS
HOCKEY SOCKS STINK.
IT MADE ME WONDER THE
SAME THING AS MOHAMMED.
On a screen behind her, boy with wavy brown hair says DO BIGGER NOSES
SMELL MORE THINGS?
Wearing an elephant nose, Zoey says WELL MOHAMMED, I DON'T KNOW
IF BIGGER NOSES ARE THE BETTER
SMELLERS.
IF THEY WERE MAYBE WE'D USE
ELEPHANTS INSTEAD OF DOGS TO
TRACK PEOPLE BY SMELL.
SO I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER YET
BUT I'M SURE I CAN FIND OUT IF I
GET NOSY AND SNIFF AROUND.
MY DAD'S NOSE IS BIGGER THAN
MINE BUT HE CAN'T SMELL THE
STINK.
I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BY
THE END OF THE SHOW BUT FIRST
LIA HAS A QUESTION THAT
TAKES US BACK TO THE BASICS.
A girl with long brown hair in a half ponytail says HOW DO WE SMELL THINGS?
Zoey says WELL LIA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO
WAY UP YOUR NOSTRILS TO GET THE
ANSWER FOR THAT.
ALL THE WAY UP OUR NOSTRILS
THERE'S AN AREA AT THE TOP OF
THE NOSE CALLED THE
OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM.
IT'S JUST A FANCY WORD
FOR SMELLING MACHINE.
THAT SMELLING MACHINE IS JAM
PACKED WITH MILLIONS OF SPECIAL
RECEPTORS THAT PICK UP SMELLS
THAT TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR.
THE RECEPTORS SEND A MESSAGE
TO OUR BRAIN AND THAT'S HOW WE
RECOGNIZE A SMELL.
SPEAKING OF FUNKY SMELLS,
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM SOHAM.
A boy with straight black hair says WHY DO FEET GET STINKY?
YUCK.
Zoey says JUST SO YOU KNOW SOHAM,
MY FEET DO NOT GET STINKY.
She smells her feet and says AT LEAST I DON'T THINK SO.
I CHECKED AND IT TURNS OUT
THERE'S BACTERIA LIVING BETWEEN
OUR TOES BUT DON'T WORRY
THEY'RE NOT THE DANGEROUS KIND.
THEY LIKE DARK, WARM, DAMP
PLACES LIKE OUR FEET AND THEY
MUNCH ON DEAD SKIN AND SWEAT.
IT'S THE BACTERIA'S
FARTS THAT CAUSE THE STINK.
Animated feet bacteria fart and say HA HA HA. EXCUSE ME.
Zoey says SOMETIMES IT SMELLS
LIKE ROTTEN EGGS.
NASTY.
AND SOMETIMES IT
SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE.
PEE YEW.
HOW ABOUT MAKING SOMETHING
THAT SMELLS A LOT BETTER?
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says HI CECILIA AND ARVIN.
They say HI.
Cecilia is around 10, with long straight blond hair in pigtail braids. She wears a blue printed sweater.
Arvis is around 11, with short straight light brown hair and wears a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says YOU ARE SCRATCH AND
SNIFF EXPERTS RIGHT?
SHOW ME YOUR METHOD?
Arvin says FIRST YOU TAKE YOUR
4 GELATIN POWDERS.
Cecilia says STRAWBERRY,
BLUEBERRY, ORANGE AND LIME.
Arvin says YOU PUT THE GELATIN
POWDER IN YOUR BOWL.
Cecilia says THEN WE PUT THE WATER.
Arvin says ONE SCOOP OF
WATER.
Cecilia says YEAH.
Arvin says AND THEN YOU PUT
THE GLUE IN.
Cecilia says MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU HAVE A LITTLE CUP AND
YOUR GONNA
TRACE IT WITH A WHITE CRAYON.
THE WAX OF THE CRAYON
KEEPS THE MIX FROM SPREADING.
They trace circles with white crayon on paper. Then fill the circles with the mix.
Arvin says YOU CAN WAIT FOR IT TO
DRY.
Cecilia says IT ONLY TAKES
A FEW HOURS.
Later, Cecilia says IT'S ALL DRY.
They both scratch the circles, sniff them and say MMM.
Zoey says THANKS GUYS.
BYE.
Cecilia says BYE ZOEY.
Arvin says BYE.
Zoey says NOW HERE'S A NOT SO SWEET
SMELLING QUESTION FROM MADDY.
A girl with blond hair in a ponytail says HOW DO YOU KNOW IF
YOU HAVE BEAD BREATH?
(school bell rings)
In a school uniform, Zoey walks on a school hall and sings a song that says DOES MY BREATH SMELL BAD?
DOES IT MAKE YOU KIND OF
SAD?
WILL YOU TELL ME IF MY
MOUTH HAS A REAL BAD STINK?
JUST TAKE A WHIFF IT'S
PEPPERONI PIZZA I THINK?
She checks her breath.
Zoey says COME ON GUYS.
LET ME KNOW.
IS IT BAD?
IS IT LIKE WHOA?
DO I TOTALLY WREAK?
I JUST CAN'T TELL.
SO HELP ME OUT AND
TELL ME IF I SMELL
She checks her breath again and faints.
The song ends.
Back in the attic, Zoey says ASKING PEOPLE AROUND IF YOUR
BREATH SMELLS BAD IS KIND OF
EMBARRASSING BUT MADDY, I
HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU.
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says LICK YOUR WRIST.
THEN LET IT DRY A BIT.
THAT'LL TELL YOU HOW THE
TIP OF YOUR TONGUE SMELLS.
HMM. NOT BAD.
THEN TRY THE BACK OF YOUR TONGUE
WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN SPOON BUT
RUB IT GENTLY.
HMM.
IF THE GUNK IS DARK AND THICK
IT MOST LIKELY MEANS YOUR BREATH
SMELLS BAD.
SO FAR SO GOOD.
A PIECE OF FLOSS TO YOUR BACK
TEETH IS ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO
TELL IF YOUR BREATH SMELLS BAD.
HMM.
STILL FINE.
DANYAL HAS A QUESTION
ABOUT EATING AND SMELLING.
A boy with straight black hair says DOES FOOD TASTE THE SAME
IF YOU CAN'T SMELL IT.
Zoey says HEY, I KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S AN
EXPERT ON THE SENSE OF SMELL AND
GUESS WHAT?
SHE CAN'T SMELL ANYTHING.
Rachel opens the door to her house and says HEY ZOEY.
Rachel is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair with a read streak in a half beehive updo and wears black Capri pants and a white sleeveless shirt with embroidered flowers.
Zoey says HI RACHEL.
Rachel says COME ON IN.
Zoey says THANK YOU.
Rachel says SO THIS IS MY SOME
LINDEN.
Zoey says HI LINDEN.
Zoey says UM RACHEL, I THINK IT'S
TIME FOR A DIAPER CHANGE.
Rachel says OH, WHY, WELL, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says SO, WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU
DIDN'T HAVE A SENSE OF SMELL?
Rachel says ACTUALLY, AROUND, MAYBE I WAS A
LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN LINDEN IS
NOW.
I WOULD OFTEN GET WAY TO
CLOSE TO MY BROTHER'S DIAPERS.
I'D ALWAYS ASK MY MOM, IS THAT
CHOCOLATE IN THERE?
AND I GUESS, AFTER THAT IT WAS A
GOOD IDEA TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM
DIAPERS.
SO I HAVE SOME
VEGGIES HERE FOR US.
Zoey says YOU NEVER SMELLED
ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE?
Rachel says NO.
NOT A SINGLE THING.
ACTUALLY, UNTIL I
WAS AROUND 10 OR 12.
I THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE WAS
PLAYING A JOKE ON ME AND IT
WASN'T UNTIL ONE OF THE
BOYS IN CLASS TOLD ME,
"HEY, YOU SMELL BAD."
FROM THEN ON I REALIZED THAT
SMELL IS A REAL THING AND IT CAN
CERTAINLY IMPACT THE
PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
(beeping)
Rachel says OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE BEEN
BAKING US SOME BREAD.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT
FRESH BAKED BREAD IS ONE OF THE
BEST SMELLS AND, EVEN
THOUGH I CAN'T SMELL IT,
I STILL LOVE TO EAT IT.
IT'S PRETTY HOT.
Zoey says AH..
FRESH BAKED BREAD.
IT'S MY FAVOURITE SMELL.
Rachel says OH. GOOD.
Zoey says I ASKED SOME OF MY FRIENDS
WHAT THEIR FAVOURITE SMELLS ARE.
A caption on Zoey’s phone reads "Ask a friend."
A girl in a hijab says PANCAKES. MMM.
A boy with straight brown hair says IT'S MY MOM'S CURRY.
A boy with short brown hair says ORANGE.
A boy with brown hair in a red T-shirt says CHOCOLATE.
A girl with long light brown hair in a ponytail says WATERMELON.
A boy with glasses says CARAMEL.
A girl in a pink hijab says PIZZA.
A girl with curly brown hair in a ponytail says FLOWERS.
A boy with curly brown hair says VANILLA CAKE.
A girl with straight brown hair in a bob cut says LAVENDER.
A girl with a white headband with a flower says I LOVE THE SMELL OF BOOKS.
Zoey says AND WHAT'S YOUR
LEAST FAVOURITE SMELLS?
A boy with wavy brown hair says CIGARETTES. UGH.
A girl in a blue jacket says SOME AIR FRESHENERS
DON'T SMELL FRESH.
YUCK.
The girl in the pink hijab says SKUNK.
AH.
A girl in a yellow T-shirt says COW POOP.
OH, THAT'S DISGUSTING.
A girl with curly red hair says IF SOMEONE PUKES I
PROBABLY WILL PUKE AFTER.
A girl in a purple tank top says ROTTEN ANYTHING.
A boy with curly brown hair says MY DOG'S NUMBER 2.
A boy in a blue T-shirt says MY FATHER'S GAS.
Zoey laughs and says THANKS GUYS.
OH WAIT. I HAVE ANOTHER
QUESTION.
Gabriella says IS IT DANGEROUS IF
YOU CAN'T SMELL?
Rachel says FOR SURE.
I'M NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO
SMELL IF THERE'S SMOKE OR A FIRE
NEARBY.
I WON'T SMELL ANY GAS LEAKS.
Zoey says AND IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGES
OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SMELL?
Rachel says I ACTUALLY THINK THERE ARE
WAY MORE ADVANTAGES THAN
DISADVANTAGES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE.
THIS IS MY
HUSBAND'S HOCKEY GEAR.
WHY DON'T YOU
GET CLOSE AND TAKE
A WHIFF OF IT.
Zoey says UGH.
JUST LIKE MY DAD'S
STINKY HOCKEY SOCKS.
Rachel says DOESN'T AFFECT
ME AT ALL.
THIS IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THOSE ADVANTAGES
I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
Zoey gives Rachel a carrot and says HERE RACHEL, TRY THIS.
Rachel says THANKS ZOEY.
Zoey says HOW DOES IT TASTE?
Rachel says IT JUST KIND OF TASTES
CRUNCHY TO ME TO BE HONEST.
FOR ME TASTE IS MOSTLY
TEXTURES AND COLOURS.
ACTUALLY, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
SICK BEFORE WITH A REALLY STUFFY
NOSE?
Zoey says MM- HMM.
Rachel says AND HOW DOES FOOD TASTE TO
YOU WHEN YOU'RE ALL SICK?
Zoey says WELL, WHEN MY NOSE IS BLOCKED,
IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A LOT OF
FLAVOUR.
Rachel says WELL THAT'S ACTUALLY BECAUSE
ABOUT 75 PERCENT OF EVERYTHING
WE TASTE IS RELIANT
ON OUR SENSE OF SMELL.
IF THE SMELL OF THE FOOD
CAN'T REACH THE RECEPTORS IN OUR
NOSE,
OR IF THEY DON'T WORK RIGHT, OUR
BRAIN DOESN'T GET SIGNALLED AND
EVERYTHING WE EAT WILL
TASTE NEARLY THE SAME.
SO FOR ME IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M
ALWAYS SICK WITH A STUFFY NOSE.
Zoey says IT'S LIKE OUR NOSE AND TONGUE
WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THEM SUPER
TASTY.
Rachel says EXACTLY. YEAH.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Back in the attic, Zoey says I'M GOING TO TEST HOW FOOD
TASTES IF I'M SMELLING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT LIKE STINKY CHEESE.
She puts a piece of blue cheese on a contraption on her nose.
Zoey says I ASKED MY DAD TO PREPARE 3
LITTLE DISHES OF MYSTERY FOOD
AND I'M GOING TO EAT IT
AND GUESS WHAT IT IS.
FIRST ONE... SWEET POTATO?
She flips a card with a picture of a carrot.
Zoey says AW. I WAS WRONG.
PUMPKIN?
NAH.
I WAS WRONG.
IT'S TURKEY.
LAST ONE.
HMM.
I'M GOING TO GUESS MAYBE APPLE?
1 OUT OF 3 RIGHT.
WELL, I GUESS I
ANSWERED DANYAL'S QUESTION.
IF YOU CAN'T SMELL FOOD OR SMELL
ONE THING WHILE EATING ANOTHER
THING IT JUST
WON'T TASTE THE SAME.
HERE'S ANOTHER NOSY
QUESTION FROM MARINA.
Marina says HOW DO ANIMALS
WITH NO NOSES SMELL?
Zoey says NO NOSE?
She takes out the fake elephant nose.
Zoey says NO NOSE AT ALL?
She takes out a rabbit nose and says OW.
BUT SERIOUSLY SUPER QUESTION.
I FOUND OUT THAT CRABS HAVE
SMELL SENSITIVE HAIRS ON THEIR
ANTENNAE BETWEEN THEIR EYES.
An animated fish says MMM.
An animated crab says SMELLS FISHY.
Zoey says AND CHECK OUT HOW
BUTTERFLIES SMELL.
THEY HAVE 6 FEET AND
THEY SMELL WITH THEM.
THEIR ANTENNAE ALSO PICK UP
SMELLS THAT LEAD THEM TO FLOWERS
WITH NECTAR.
WHEN THEY LAND ON THE FLOWER
THEIR FEET TELL THEM IF IT'S
EDIBLE OR POISONOUS.
An animated butterfly says MMM.
MMM. EDIBLE.
Zoey says AND ALL THOSE SUCTION
CUPS ON OCTOPUS ARMS,
THEY USE THEM FOR SMELLING TOO.
AND HERE'S A QUESTION FROM RYAN
ABOUT A TWITCHING ANIMAL NOSE.
Ryan says WHY DO RABBITS
TWITCH THEIR NOSE?
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings a song that says SHE'S A ZOOLOGIST WHO
KNOWS ANIMAL NOSES.
SHE BROUGHT RABBIT TO
MY SHOW TO SHOW HIS.
PLEASE WELCOME
JENNIFER CYR-DEVINE.
Jennifer walks in the attic.
She’s in her thirties, with shoulder length straight brown hair in a half ponytail and wears black trousers and a blue T-shirt. She brings a rabbit with her.
Zoey says HI JENNIFER, YOU BROUGHT
ME A RABBIT.
Jennifer says HIS NAME'S VEGAS.
HE'S A 2 YEAR OLD
DOMESTICATED RABBIT.
Zoey says WELL, I BET I KNOW WHAT HIS
FAVOURITE DANCE STYLE IS.
Jennifer says OH?
Zoey says HIP-HOP.
Jennifer says VERY CUTE.
Zoey says LOOK AT HIS NOSE TWITCH.
Zoey says WHY DOES HE DO THAT?
Jennifer says WELL, IN SHORT, IT'S ACTUALLY
TO HELP HIM SMELL BETTER.
YOU SEE THE SENSE OF SMELL FOR
RABBITS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
TO THEIR SURVIVAL.
INSIDE THOSE NOSTRILS,
IN THE NASAL CAVITY,
YOU HAVE ABOUT 100 MILLION SMELL
RECEPTORS THAT HELP CAPTURE THE
ODOUR FROM THE AIR.
Zoey says IS THAT MORE THAN WE HAVE?
Jennifer says WAY MORE THAN
HUMANS HAVE.
IN FACT, SOME
SCIENTISTS SAY
IT'S UP TO 20 TIMES
MORE THAN
WHAT HUMANS HAVE.
Zoey says WOW.
SO WHEN HE TWITCHES
MORE SMELL COMES IN?
Jennifer says THAT'S RIGHT.
EVERY TIME THE RABBIT TWITCHES
ITS NOSE MORE AIR IS COMING INTO
THE NASAL CAVITY AND THEREFORE
THE RECEPTORS AT THE BACK
CAPTURE THE ODOURS OFF OF
THAT GREATER AMOUNT OF AIR.
SO THE RABBIT IS BASICALLY ABLE
TO PICK UP SMELLS THAT HUMANS
CAN'T POSSIBLY PICK UP ON.
Zoey says HMM.
SO HE PROBABLY
SMELLS THIS
CARROT EVEN THOUGH
I HAVEN'T PUT IT IN
FRONT OF HIS FACE.
Jennifer says OH.
ABSOLUTELY.
HE SMELLED THAT A LONG WAY OFF
AND WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS
RABBITS DON'T JUST USE THEIR
SENSE OF SMELL TO FIND FOOD.
THEY ALSO USE IT TO KNOW IF
THERE'S A PREDATOR AROUND OR TO
KNOW IF THERE'S
DANGER LIKE A FOREST FIRE.
WHAT'S REALLY CUTE,
IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT,
TWITCH YOUR NOSE AT THE RABBIT
BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU TWITCH
YOUR NOSE AT THE RABBIT IT'LL
ACTUALLY TWITCH ITS NOSE RIGHT
BACK AT YOU.
Zoey says WELL, THANKS FOR
HELPING ME FIND STUFF OUT.
YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO HAVE
AN ELEPHANT BY ANY CHANCE, NO?
Jennifer says NOPE. SORRY.
Zoey says OKAY. I'M ASKING BECAUSE
OF NEYLA'S QUESTION.
Jennifer says OH.
A girl with glasses says WHY DO ELEPHANTS
HAVE A LONG NOSE?
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT ELEPHANTS DO
HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF SMELL BUT
THE REASON THEIR NOSES ARE SO
BIG IS BECAUSE ELEPHANTS ARE SO
BIG.
THEIR GIGANTIC LEGS AND
HEADS MAKE IT KIND OF HARD FOR
ELEPHANTS TO BEND DOWN FOR FOOD
ON THE GROUND OR TO REACH FOOD
IN TREES.
THEIR LONG NOSE LET'S THEM
GET AT FOOD A LOT MORE EASILY.
AN ELEPHANT'S NOSE CAN
LIFT UP TO 350 KILOGRAMS.
THAT'S LIKE LIFTING
ABOUT 8 TOILETS... .
An animated elephant lifts 8 toilets and says TA-DA.
Zoey says OR 4 KANGAROOS.
The elephant lifts 4 kangaroos and says TA-DA-DA.
Zoey says PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
AT THE END OF THEIR NOSE SOME
ELEPHANTS HAVE PARTS THAT ARE
KIND OF LIKE FINGERS THAT THEY
CAN US TO GRAB SMALL OBJECTS AND
BECAUSE THEIR NOSE IS LONG AND
FLEXIBLE IT CAN SNIFF THINGS OUT
WITHOUT THE ELEPHANT EVEN MOVING
ITS HEAD PLUS THEY SUCK UP WATER
WITH THEIR NOSE AND SQUIRT IT
INTO THEIR MOUTHS AND THAT GIVES
ME AN IDEA FOR... .
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says OKAY.
FOR MY GREAT CHALLENGE WE
HAVE LIA WHO'S ELEPHANT STOMPER.
Lia is around 11, with long wavy brown hair in a ponytail and wears an elephant costume.
Zoey says AND MAX, WHO'S ELEPHANT CHOMPER.
Max is around 12, with short light brown hair and wears an elephant costume.
Zoey says YOU GUYS ARE GONNA USE YOUR
ELEPHANT NOSES TO DO ELEPHANT
THINGS.
AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO TRUMPET
AS FAST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THE
FIRST ELEPHANT TO TRUMPET WINS.
ON YOUR MARKS.
GET SET.
GO.
The contestants start picking up things with the trumpet arms and putting them in wheelbarrows and metal containers.
Zoey says FIRST, CHALLENGERS HAVE TO
PICK UP 2 BUNDLES OF BRANCHES.
NEXT 20 PEANUTS.
BY THE WAY, REAL
ELEPHANTS AREN'T INTO PEANUTS.
THEY'RE WAY TOO TINY TO
SATISFY THEIR HUGE APPETITES.
KEEP GOING.
BUT PICKING UP PEANUTS
IS A TRICKY CHALLENGE.
STOMPER'S IN THE
LEAD WITH HER PEANUTS.
SHE'S DONE AND NOW SHE HAS
TO PICK 5 HANGING BANANAS.
GO. GO. GO. PICK.
CHOMPER ONLY HAS A
FEW PEANUTS LEFT.
HE GOT THEM.
CHOMPER'S CATCHING UP.
STOMPER HAS ALL HER BANANAS
AND CHOMPER IS STILL BEHIND.
STOMPER IS NOW AT
THE DRINKING STATION.
THAT'S THE LAST STOP.
CHALLENGERS HAVE TO SUCK UP ALL
THE WATER IN THE BOWL AND SQUIRT
IT OUT.
HERE COMES CHOMPER.
CAN HE CATCH UP?
REMEMBER, FIRST ONE TO TRUMPET
WINS.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
Lia trumpets.
Zoey says AND NOW HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM AARON ABOUT AN ANIMAL THAT
SMELLS UNDERWATER.
Aaron says HOW DO SHARKS SMELL UNDERWATER?
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT SMELL IS SO
IMPORTANT TO SHARKS THAT THEY'RE
ACTUALLY CALLED SWIMMING NOSES.
A SHARK CAN SMELL ONE DROP OF
BLOOD IN A MILLION PARTS OF
WATER.
THAT'S LIKE BEING ABLE TO SMELL
A SINGLE TEASPOON OF JUICE IN A
SWIMMING POOL.
WHAT?
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says IT SEEMS
UNBELIEVABLE BUT IT'S TRUE.
SHARKS ACTUALLY SUCK IN
WATER TO TAKE A SNIFF.
THE WATER TOUCHES A BUNCH OF
SENSITIVE SMELL RECEPTORS INSIDE
THE NOSTRILS AND THEY
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE BRAIN.
OVER HALF THEIR BRAIN IS
MADE UP OF SMELL DETECTORS.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE A
NOSEBLEED AROUND A SWIMMING
NOSE.
HEY.
SPEAKING OF NOSEBLEEDS.
Mackenzie says HOW DO YOU STOP A NOSEBLEED?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a Roman, Zoey says AH YES., THE NOSEBLEED.
HERE IN ANCIENT ROME WE
HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION.
RUB YOUR ARMS WITH SHEEP WOOL.
MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.
BUT IF THIS DOESN'T HELP YOU CAN
STUFF YOUR NOSTRILS WITH BURNED
UP ASHES FROM TADPOLES.
Zoey says THAT'S PRETTY WILD.
HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER IT
WAS STILL KIND OF WEIRD.
Zoey takes a toad on a string out of her pocket and says A TOAD WORN AROUND YOUR NECK
WILL STOP THE BLEEDING SWIFTLY.
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?
YOU WANT A MORE MODERN WAY?
NO PROBLEM.
SIMPLY, DROP A KEY ON A
STRING DOWN YOUR BACK.
AH THE MARVELS OF
MODERN MEDICINE.
Zoey laughs and says SO WEIRD.
TODAY, WE KNOW YOU HAVE TO,
TILT YOUR HEAD DOWN A BIT SO THE
BLOOD WON'T GO DOWN YOUR THROAT
AND THEN PINCH JUST UNDER THE
BONY PART FOR 5 MINUTES.
IF IT JUST WON'T STOP GET HELP.
Owen says HOW COULD SOME PEOPLE SMELL
THINGS BETTER THAN OTHERS CAN?
Zoey says I CHECKED AND IT'S
MAINLY BECAUSE OF OUR GENES.
NO.
NOT THE ONES WE WEAR.
THE GENES IN OUR BODIES ARE THE
THINGS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE
AND EVERY PERSON HAS THEIR OWN
SPECIAL COMBINATION OF SMELLING
GENES.
SOME PEOPLE CAN PICK UP CERTAIN
SMELLS THAT OTHERS CAN'T AND
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUCH GOOD
SENSES OF SMELL THAT THEIR JOB
IS TO MAKE PERFUME.
An animated nose smells perfume and says MM-HMM.
Zoey says OR SMELL BAD ODOURS TO HELP
COMPANIES MAKE THINGS LIKE
DEODORANT.
The nose smells and armpit and says UGH.
Zoey says IN SOME CHINESE MEDICINE
THEY EVEN USE PROFESSIONAL FART
SMELLERS TO HELP
DETECT SICKNESS.
The nose smells fart and says OOH.
VERY HEALTHY.
Zoey says I WANT TO TEST MY
SENSE OF SMELL.
JENNIFER AGREED TO
A FACE OFF TO SEE
WHOSE NOSE IS MORE SENSITIVE.
Jennifer says I THINK I'M READY.
Zoey says WE'RE USING THIS
COOL LITTLE GADGET
CALLED THE NASAL
RANGER.
IT'S USED TO MEASURE THE SMELL
FROM PLACES LIKE LANDFILLS AND
FIGURE OUT IF THE
STINK IS TOO STRONG.
Jennifer says YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE
HERE THE FILTERS THAT ALLOW THE
AIR IN
AND OUT AND THIS IS A LITTLE
DIAL THAT HELPS DETERMINE HOW
MUCH ODOUR IS
ACTUALLY COMING IN.
SO DEPENDING ON THAT
DIAL IT'LL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU
HAVE A
BETTER NOSE OR WHETHER
I HAVE A BETTER NOSE.
Zoey says I'LL START WITH THE
COW MANURE FIRST.
WE ALL SMELL THINGS
DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE
CLOSE TO A
MILLION DIFFERENT
COMBINATIONS OF SMELLING GENES.
Zoey directs the gadget toward a tray full of dirt and says I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING YET.
Zoey says PLUS, SMELL IS CONNECTED
TO OUR MEMORIES,
EMOTIONS AND TASTE.
OH, I'M STARTING TO SMELL IT.
Zoey says SOME PEOPLE LIKE CERTAIN
SMELLS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T
STAND.
Jennifer says OH.
I THINK I SMELL SOMETHING.
Zoey smells a trash bin and says THIS IS GONNA BE GROSS BUT
AM I PICKING UP THE SMELL OF
MANURE
AND ROTTEN FOOD
FASTER THAN JENNIFER?
UGH. WE BOTH AGREE THEY STINK.
Jennifer says EW.
IT SMELLS LIKE
UNDER MY KITCHEN SINK.
YUP.
Zoey says WE'RE FINISHING OUR
EXPERIMENT WITH A SWEET SMELL.
Jennifer smells a flower bouquet and says OH, THERE WE
GO, I GOT IT.
I LIKE THAT SMELL
MUCH BETTER.
Zoey says MUCH BETTER
THAN THOSE ONES.
YUCK.
WELL, THE RESULTS ARE IN.
I OUTSMELLED YOU.
Jennifer says AW.
THAT STINKS.
Zoey says AND MY NOSE IS
SMALLER THAN YOURS.
Jennifer says YOU'RE RIGHT.
Zoey says I THINK I'M READY TO ANSWER
THE QUESTION THAT STARTED OFF
TODAY'S SHOW.
Mohammed says DO BIGGER NOSES
SMELL MORE THINGS?
Zoey says WELL MOHAMMED, THE BIG
ANSWER IS...
Zoey plays the keyboards and says SIZE DOESN'T MATTER. IT MOSTLY
DEPENDS ON HOW MANY SMELL
RECEPTORS WE AND ANIMALS
HAVE AND HOW OUR BRAIN DEALS
WITH THE INFORMATION IT GETS
FROM OUR NOSE.
A RABBIT'S NOSE IS MUCH SMALLER
THAN A HUMAN NOSE BUT IT HAS
MILLIONS MORE SMELL RECEPTORS
AND CAN SMELL MORE THINGS.
DOGS ARE ALSO GREAT SMELLERS
WHICH IS WHY WE USE THEM TO
SNIFF OUT DANGEROUS THINGS.
SOME ANIMALS LIKE BUTTERFLIES
DON'T EVEN HAVE A NOSE BUT
THANKS TO THE SMELL RECEPTORS
ON THEIR FEET THEY CAN TELL WHAT
FLOWERS ARE POISONOUS.
PLUS WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE
COMBINATION OF GENES THAT MAKE
UP OUR SMELLING MACHINE.
MY NOSE IS SMALLER THAN
JENNIFER'S AND MY DAD'S BUT I
PROVED IT'S MORE SENSITIVE.
She sniffs and says AW.
She picks up her dad’s dirty sock and says DAD, START THE WASHING MACHINE.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Breath" song plays again.

The song goes DOES MY BREATH SMELL BAD?
DOES IT MAKE YOU
KIND OF SAD?
WILL YOU TELL ME IF MY
MOUTH HAS A REAL BAD STINK?
JUST TAKE A WHIFF IT'S
PEPPERONI PIZZA I THINK.
DO I TOTALLY WREAK?
I JUST CAN'T TELL.
SO HELP ME OUT AND
TELL ME IF I SMELL.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey holds a dirty sock and says THIS SMELLS BAD.
She then holds a clean dress and says THIS SMELLS GOOD.
IT'S MINE.
I CAN TOTALLY TELL THE
DIFFERENCE BUT
MY DAD NEVER KNOWS WHEN HIS
HOCKEY SOCKS STINK.
IT MADE ME WONDER THE
SAME THING AS MOHAMMED.
On a screen behind her, boy with wavy brown hair says DO BIGGER NOSES
SMELL MORE THINGS?
Wearing an elephant nose, Zoey says WELL MOHAMMED, I DON'T KNOW
IF BIGGER NOSES ARE THE BETTER
SMELLERS.
IF THEY WERE MAYBE WE'D USE
ELEPHANTS INSTEAD OF DOGS TO
TRACK PEOPLE BY SMELL.
SO I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER YET
BUT I'M SURE I CAN FIND OUT IF I
GET NOSY AND SNIFF AROUND.
MY DAD'S NOSE IS BIGGER THAN
MINE BUT HE CAN'T SMELL THE
STINK.
I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BY
THE END OF THE SHOW BUT FIRST
LIA HAS A QUESTION THAT
TAKES US BACK TO THE BASICS.
A girl with long brown hair in a half ponytail says HOW DO WE SMELL THINGS?
Zoey says WELL LIA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO
WAY UP YOUR NOSTRILS TO GET THE
ANSWER FOR THAT.
ALL THE WAY UP OUR NOSTRILS
THERE'S AN AREA AT THE TOP OF
THE NOSE CALLED THE
OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM.
IT'S JUST A FANCY WORD
FOR SMELLING MACHINE.
THAT SMELLING MACHINE IS JAM
PACKED WITH MILLIONS OF SPECIAL
RECEPTORS THAT PICK UP SMELLS
THAT TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR.
THE RECEPTORS SEND A MESSAGE
TO OUR BRAIN AND THAT'S HOW WE
RECOGNIZE A SMELL.
SPEAKING OF FUNKY SMELLS,
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM SOHAM.
A boy with straight black hair says WHY DO FEET GET STINKY?
YUCK.
Zoey says JUST SO YOU KNOW SOHAM,
MY FEET DO NOT GET STINKY.
She smells her feet and says AT LEAST I DON'T THINK SO.
I CHECKED AND IT TURNS OUT
THERE'S BACTERIA LIVING BETWEEN
OUR TOES BUT DON'T WORRY
THEY'RE NOT THE DANGEROUS KIND.
THEY LIKE DARK, WARM, DAMP
PLACES LIKE OUR FEET AND THEY
MUNCH ON DEAD SKIN AND SWEAT.
IT'S THE BACTERIA'S
FARTS THAT CAUSE THE STINK.
Animated feet bacteria fart and say HA HA HA. EXCUSE ME.
Zoey says SOMETIMES IT SMELLS
LIKE ROTTEN EGGS.
NASTY.
AND SOMETIMES IT
SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE.
PEE YEW.
HOW ABOUT MAKING SOMETHING
THAT SMELLS A LOT BETTER?
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says HI CECILIA AND ARVIN.
They say HI.
Cecilia is around 10, with long straight blond hair in pigtail braids. She wears a blue printed sweater.
Arvis is around 11, with short straight light brown hair and wears a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says YOU ARE SCRATCH AND
SNIFF EXPERTS RIGHT?
SHOW ME YOUR METHOD?
Arvin says FIRST YOU TAKE YOUR
4 GELATIN POWDERS.
Cecilia says STRAWBERRY,
BLUEBERRY, ORANGE AND LIME.
Arvin says YOU PUT THE GELATIN
POWDER IN YOUR BOWL.
Cecilia says THEN WE PUT THE WATER.
Arvin says ONE SCOOP OF
WATER.
Cecilia says YEAH.
Arvin says AND THEN YOU PUT
THE GLUE IN.
Cecilia says MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU HAVE A LITTLE CUP AND
YOUR GONNA
TRACE IT WITH A WHITE CRAYON.
THE WAX OF THE CRAYON
KEEPS THE MIX FROM SPREADING.
They trace circles with white crayon on paper. Then fill the circles with the mix.
Arvin says YOU CAN WAIT FOR IT TO
DRY.
Cecilia says IT ONLY TAKES
A FEW HOURS.
Later, Cecilia says IT'S ALL DRY.
They both scratch the circles, sniff them and say MMM.
Zoey says THANKS GUYS.
BYE.
Cecilia says BYE ZOEY.
Arvin says BYE.
Zoey says NOW HERE'S A NOT SO SWEET
SMELLING QUESTION FROM MADDY.
A girl with blond hair in a ponytail says HOW DO YOU KNOW IF
YOU HAVE BEAD BREATH?
(school bell rings)
In a school uniform, Zoey walks on a school hall and sings a song that says DOES MY BREATH SMELL BAD?
DOES IT MAKE YOU KIND OF
SAD?
WILL YOU TELL ME IF MY
MOUTH HAS A REAL BAD STINK?
JUST TAKE A WHIFF IT'S
PEPPERONI PIZZA I THINK?
She checks her breath.
Zoey says COME ON GUYS.
LET ME KNOW.
IS IT BAD?
IS IT LIKE WHOA?
DO I TOTALLY WREAK?
I JUST CAN'T TELL.
SO HELP ME OUT AND
TELL ME IF I SMELL
She checks her breath again and faints.
The song ends.
Back in the attic, Zoey says ASKING PEOPLE AROUND IF YOUR
BREATH SMELLS BAD IS KIND OF
EMBARRASSING BUT MADDY, I
HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU.
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says LICK YOUR WRIST.
THEN LET IT DRY A BIT.
THAT'LL TELL YOU HOW THE
TIP OF YOUR TONGUE SMELLS.
HMM. NOT BAD.
THEN TRY THE BACK OF YOUR TONGUE
WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN SPOON BUT
RUB IT GENTLY.
HMM.
IF THE GUNK IS DARK AND THICK
IT MOST LIKELY MEANS YOUR BREATH
SMELLS BAD.
SO FAR SO GOOD.
A PIECE OF FLOSS TO YOUR BACK
TEETH IS ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO
TELL IF YOUR BREATH SMELLS BAD.
HMM.
STILL FINE.
DANYAL HAS A QUESTION
ABOUT EATING AND SMELLING.
A boy with straight black hair says DOES FOOD TASTE THE SAME
IF YOU CAN'T SMELL IT.
Zoey says HEY, I KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S AN
EXPERT ON THE SENSE OF SMELL AND
GUESS WHAT?
SHE CAN'T SMELL ANYTHING.
Rachel opens the door to her house and says HEY ZOEY.
Rachel is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair with a read streak in a half beehive updo and wears black Capri pants and a white sleeveless shirt with embroidered flowers.
Zoey says HI RACHEL.
Rachel says COME ON IN.
Zoey says THANK YOU.
Rachel says SO THIS IS MY SOME
LINDEN.
Zoey says HI LINDEN.
Zoey says UM RACHEL, I THINK IT'S
TIME FOR A DIAPER CHANGE.
Rachel says OH, WHY, WELL, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says SO, WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU
DIDN'T HAVE A SENSE OF SMELL?
Rachel says ACTUALLY, AROUND, MAYBE I WAS A
LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN LINDEN IS
NOW.
I WOULD OFTEN GET WAY TO
CLOSE TO MY BROTHER'S DIAPERS.
I'D ALWAYS ASK MY MOM, IS THAT
CHOCOLATE IN THERE?
AND I GUESS, AFTER THAT IT WAS A
GOOD IDEA TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM
DIAPERS.
SO I HAVE SOME
VEGGIES HERE FOR US.
Zoey says YOU NEVER SMELLED
ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE?
Rachel says NO.
NOT A SINGLE THING.
ACTUALLY, UNTIL I
WAS AROUND 10 OR 12.
I THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE WAS
PLAYING A JOKE ON ME AND IT
WASN'T UNTIL ONE OF THE
BOYS IN CLASS TOLD ME,
"HEY, YOU SMELL BAD."
FROM THEN ON I REALIZED THAT
SMELL IS A REAL THING AND IT CAN
CERTAINLY IMPACT THE
PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
(beeping)
Rachel says OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE BEEN
BAKING US SOME BREAD.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT
FRESH BAKED BREAD IS ONE OF THE
BEST SMELLS AND, EVEN
THOUGH I CAN'T SMELL IT,
I STILL LOVE TO EAT IT.
IT'S PRETTY HOT.
Zoey says AH..
FRESH BAKED BREAD.
IT'S MY FAVOURITE SMELL.
Rachel says OH. GOOD.
Zoey says I ASKED SOME OF MY FRIENDS
WHAT THEIR FAVOURITE SMELLS ARE.
A caption on Zoey’s phone reads "Ask a friend."
A girl in a hijab says PANCAKES. MMM.
A boy with straight brown hair says IT'S MY MOM'S CURRY.
A boy with short brown hair says ORANGE.
A boy with brown hair in a red T-shirt says CHOCOLATE.
A girl with long light brown hair in a ponytail says WATERMELON.
A boy with glasses says CARAMEL.
A girl in a pink hijab says PIZZA.
A girl with curly brown hair in a ponytail says FLOWERS.
A boy with curly brown hair says VANILLA CAKE.
A girl with straight brown hair in a bob cut says LAVENDER.
A girl with a white headband with a flower says I LOVE THE SMELL OF BOOKS.
Zoey says AND WHAT'S YOUR
LEAST FAVOURITE SMELLS?
A boy with wavy brown hair says CIGARETTES. UGH.
A girl in a blue jacket says SOME AIR FRESHENERS
DON'T SMELL FRESH.
YUCK.
The girl in the pink hijab says SKUNK.
AH.
A girl in a yellow T-shirt says COW POOP.
OH, THAT'S DISGUSTING.
A girl with curly red hair says IF SOMEONE PUKES I
PROBABLY WILL PUKE AFTER.
A girl in a purple tank top says ROTTEN ANYTHING.
A boy with curly brown hair says MY DOG'S NUMBER 2.
A boy in a blue T-shirt says MY FATHER'S GAS.
Zoey laughs and says THANKS GUYS.
OH WAIT. I HAVE ANOTHER
QUESTION.
Gabriella says IS IT DANGEROUS IF
YOU CAN'T SMELL?
Rachel says FOR SURE.
I'M NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO
SMELL IF THERE'S SMOKE OR A FIRE
NEARBY.
I WON'T SMELL ANY GAS LEAKS.
Zoey says AND IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGES
OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SMELL?
Rachel says I ACTUALLY THINK THERE ARE
WAY MORE ADVANTAGES THAN
DISADVANTAGES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE.
THIS IS MY
HUSBAND'S HOCKEY GEAR.
WHY DON'T YOU
GET CLOSE AND TAKE
A WHIFF OF IT.
Zoey says UGH.
JUST LIKE MY DAD'S
STINKY HOCKEY SOCKS.
Rachel says DOESN'T AFFECT
ME AT ALL.
THIS IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THOSE ADVANTAGES
I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
Zoey gives Rachel a carrot and says HERE RACHEL, TRY THIS.
Rachel says THANKS ZOEY.
Zoey says HOW DOES IT TASTE?
Rachel says IT JUST KIND OF TASTES
CRUNCHY TO ME TO BE HONEST.
FOR ME TASTE IS MOSTLY
TEXTURES AND COLOURS.
ACTUALLY, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
SICK BEFORE WITH A REALLY STUFFY
NOSE?
Zoey says MM- HMM.
Rachel says AND HOW DOES FOOD TASTE TO
YOU WHEN YOU'RE ALL SICK?
Zoey says WELL, WHEN MY NOSE IS BLOCKED,
IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A LOT OF
FLAVOUR.
Rachel says WELL THAT'S ACTUALLY BECAUSE
ABOUT 75 PERCENT OF EVERYTHING
WE TASTE IS RELIANT
ON OUR SENSE OF SMELL.
IF THE SMELL OF THE FOOD
CAN'T REACH THE RECEPTORS IN OUR
NOSE,
OR IF THEY DON'T WORK RIGHT, OUR
BRAIN DOESN'T GET SIGNALLED AND
EVERYTHING WE EAT WILL
TASTE NEARLY THE SAME.
SO FOR ME IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M
ALWAYS SICK WITH A STUFFY NOSE.
Zoey says IT'S LIKE OUR NOSE AND TONGUE
WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THEM SUPER
TASTY.
Rachel says EXACTLY. YEAH.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Back in the attic, Zoey says I'M GOING TO TEST HOW FOOD
TASTES IF I'M SMELLING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT LIKE STINKY CHEESE.
She puts a piece of blue cheese on a contraption on her nose.
Zoey says I ASKED MY DAD TO PREPARE 3
LITTLE DISHES OF MYSTERY FOOD
AND I'M GOING TO EAT IT
AND GUESS WHAT IT IS.
FIRST ONE... SWEET POTATO?
She flips a card with a picture of a carrot.
Zoey says AW. I WAS WRONG.
PUMPKIN?
NAH.
I WAS WRONG.
IT'S TURKEY.
LAST ONE.
HMM.
I'M GOING TO GUESS MAYBE APPLE?
1 OUT OF 3 RIGHT.
WELL, I GUESS I
ANSWERED DANYAL'S QUESTION.
IF YOU CAN'T SMELL FOOD OR SMELL
ONE THING WHILE EATING ANOTHER
THING IT JUST
WON'T TASTE THE SAME.
HERE'S ANOTHER NOSY
QUESTION FROM MARINA.
Marina says HOW DO ANIMALS
WITH NO NOSES SMELL?
Zoey says NO NOSE?
She takes out the fake elephant nose.
Zoey says NO NOSE AT ALL?
She takes out a rabbit nose and says OW.
BUT SERIOUSLY SUPER QUESTION.
I FOUND OUT THAT CRABS HAVE
SMELL SENSITIVE HAIRS ON THEIR
ANTENNAE BETWEEN THEIR EYES.
An animated fish says MMM.
An animated crab says SMELLS FISHY.
Zoey says AND CHECK OUT HOW
BUTTERFLIES SMELL.
THEY HAVE 6 FEET AND
THEY SMELL WITH THEM.
THEIR ANTENNAE ALSO PICK UP
SMELLS THAT LEAD THEM TO FLOWERS
WITH NECTAR.
WHEN THEY LAND ON THE FLOWER
THEIR FEET TELL THEM IF IT'S
EDIBLE OR POISONOUS.
An animated butterfly says MMM.
MMM. EDIBLE.
Zoey says AND ALL THOSE SUCTION
CUPS ON OCTOPUS ARMS,
THEY USE THEM FOR SMELLING TOO.
AND HERE'S A QUESTION FROM RYAN
ABOUT A TWITCHING ANIMAL NOSE.
Ryan says WHY DO RABBITS
TWITCH THEIR NOSE?
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings a song that says SHE'S A ZOOLOGIST WHO
KNOWS ANIMAL NOSES.
SHE BROUGHT RABBIT TO
MY SHOW TO SHOW HIS.
PLEASE WELCOME
JENNIFER CYR-DEVINE.
Jennifer walks in the attic.
She’s in her thirties, with shoulder length straight brown hair in a half ponytail and wears black trousers and a blue T-shirt. She brings a rabbit with her.
Zoey says HI JENNIFER, YOU BROUGHT
ME A RABBIT.
Jennifer says HIS NAME'S VEGAS.
HE'S A 2 YEAR OLD
DOMESTICATED RABBIT.
Zoey says WELL, I BET I KNOW WHAT HIS
FAVOURITE DANCE STYLE IS.
Jennifer says OH?
Zoey says HIP-HOP.
Jennifer says VERY CUTE.
Zoey says LOOK AT HIS NOSE TWITCH.
Zoey says WHY DOES HE DO THAT?
Jennifer says WELL, IN SHORT, IT'S ACTUALLY
TO HELP HIM SMELL BETTER.
YOU SEE THE SENSE OF SMELL FOR
RABBITS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
TO THEIR SURVIVAL.
INSIDE THOSE NOSTRILS,
IN THE NASAL CAVITY,
YOU HAVE ABOUT 100 MILLION SMELL
RECEPTORS THAT HELP CAPTURE THE
ODOUR FROM THE AIR.
Zoey says IS THAT MORE THAN WE HAVE?
Jennifer says WAY MORE THAN
HUMANS HAVE.
IN FACT, SOME
SCIENTISTS SAY
IT'S UP TO 20 TIMES
MORE THAN
WHAT HUMANS HAVE.
Zoey says WOW.
SO WHEN HE TWITCHES
MORE SMELL COMES IN?
Jennifer says THAT'S RIGHT.
EVERY TIME THE RABBIT TWITCHES
ITS NOSE MORE AIR IS COMING INTO
THE NASAL CAVITY AND THEREFORE
THE RECEPTORS AT THE BACK
CAPTURE THE ODOURS OFF OF
THAT GREATER AMOUNT OF AIR.
SO THE RABBIT IS BASICALLY ABLE
TO PICK UP SMELLS THAT HUMANS
CAN'T POSSIBLY PICK UP ON.
Zoey says HMM.
SO HE PROBABLY
SMELLS THIS
CARROT EVEN THOUGH
I HAVEN'T PUT IT IN
FRONT OF HIS FACE.
Jennifer says OH.
ABSOLUTELY.
HE SMELLED THAT A LONG WAY OFF
AND WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS
RABBITS DON'T JUST USE THEIR
SENSE OF SMELL TO FIND FOOD.
THEY ALSO USE IT TO KNOW IF
THERE'S A PREDATOR AROUND OR TO
KNOW IF THERE'S
DANGER LIKE A FOREST FIRE.
WHAT'S REALLY CUTE,
IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT,
TWITCH YOUR NOSE AT THE RABBIT
BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU TWITCH
YOUR NOSE AT THE RABBIT IT'LL
ACTUALLY TWITCH ITS NOSE RIGHT
BACK AT YOU.
Zoey says WELL, THANKS FOR
HELPING ME FIND STUFF OUT.
YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO HAVE
AN ELEPHANT BY ANY CHANCE, NO?
Jennifer says NOPE. SORRY.
Zoey says OKAY. I'M ASKING BECAUSE
OF NEYLA'S QUESTION.
Jennifer says OH.
A girl with glasses says WHY DO ELEPHANTS
HAVE A LONG NOSE?
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT ELEPHANTS DO
HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF SMELL BUT
THE REASON THEIR NOSES ARE SO
BIG IS BECAUSE ELEPHANTS ARE SO
BIG.
THEIR GIGANTIC LEGS AND
HEADS MAKE IT KIND OF HARD FOR
ELEPHANTS TO BEND DOWN FOR FOOD
ON THE GROUND OR TO REACH FOOD
IN TREES.
THEIR LONG NOSE LET'S THEM
GET AT FOOD A LOT MORE EASILY.
AN ELEPHANT'S NOSE CAN
LIFT UP TO 350 KILOGRAMS.
THAT'S LIKE LIFTING
ABOUT 8 TOILETS... .
An animated elephant lifts 8 toilets and says TA-DA.
Zoey says OR 4 KANGAROOS.
The elephant lifts 4 kangaroos and says TA-DA-DA.
Zoey says PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
AT THE END OF THEIR NOSE SOME
ELEPHANTS HAVE PARTS THAT ARE
KIND OF LIKE FINGERS THAT THEY
CAN US TO GRAB SMALL OBJECTS AND
BECAUSE THEIR NOSE IS LONG AND
FLEXIBLE IT CAN SNIFF THINGS OUT
WITHOUT THE ELEPHANT EVEN MOVING
ITS HEAD PLUS THEY SUCK UP WATER
WITH THEIR NOSE AND SQUIRT IT
INTO THEIR MOUTHS AND THAT GIVES
ME AN IDEA FOR... .
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says OKAY.
FOR MY GREAT CHALLENGE WE
HAVE LIA WHO'S ELEPHANT STOMPER.
Lia is around 11, with long wavy brown hair in a ponytail and wears an elephant costume.
Zoey says AND MAX, WHO'S ELEPHANT CHOMPER.
Max is around 12, with short light brown hair and wears an elephant costume.
Zoey says YOU GUYS ARE GONNA USE YOUR
ELEPHANT NOSES TO DO ELEPHANT
THINGS.
AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO TRUMPET
AS FAST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THE
FIRST ELEPHANT TO TRUMPET WINS.
ON YOUR MARKS.
GET SET.
GO.
The contestants start picking up things with the trumpet arms and putting them in wheelbarrows and metal containers.
Zoey says FIRST, CHALLENGERS HAVE TO
PICK UP 2 BUNDLES OF BRANCHES.
NEXT 20 PEANUTS.
BY THE WAY, REAL
ELEPHANTS AREN'T INTO PEANUTS.
THEY'RE WAY TOO TINY TO
SATISFY THEIR HUGE APPETITES.
KEEP GOING.
BUT PICKING UP PEANUTS
IS A TRICKY CHALLENGE.
STOMPER'S IN THE
LEAD WITH HER PEANUTS.
SHE'S DONE AND NOW SHE HAS
TO PICK 5 HANGING BANANAS.
GO. GO. GO. PICK.
CHOMPER ONLY HAS A
FEW PEANUTS LEFT.
HE GOT THEM.
CHOMPER'S CATCHING UP.
STOMPER HAS ALL HER BANANAS
AND CHOMPER IS STILL BEHIND.
STOMPER IS NOW AT
THE DRINKING STATION.
THAT'S THE LAST STOP.
CHALLENGERS HAVE TO SUCK UP ALL
THE WATER IN THE BOWL AND SQUIRT
IT OUT.
HERE COMES CHOMPER.
CAN HE CATCH UP?
REMEMBER, FIRST ONE TO TRUMPET
WINS.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
Lia trumpets.
Zoey says AND NOW HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM AARON ABOUT AN ANIMAL THAT
SMELLS UNDERWATER.
Aaron says HOW DO SHARKS SMELL UNDERWATER?
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT SMELL IS SO
IMPORTANT TO SHARKS THAT THEY'RE
ACTUALLY CALLED SWIMMING NOSES.
A SHARK CAN SMELL ONE DROP OF
BLOOD IN A MILLION PARTS OF
WATER.
THAT'S LIKE BEING ABLE TO SMELL
A SINGLE TEASPOON OF JUICE IN A
SWIMMING POOL.
WHAT?
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says IT SEEMS
UNBELIEVABLE BUT IT'S TRUE.
SHARKS ACTUALLY SUCK IN
WATER TO TAKE A SNIFF.
THE WATER TOUCHES A BUNCH OF
SENSITIVE SMELL RECEPTORS INSIDE
THE NOSTRILS AND THEY
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE BRAIN.
OVER HALF THEIR BRAIN IS
MADE UP OF SMELL DETECTORS.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE A
NOSEBLEED AROUND A SWIMMING
NOSE.
HEY.
SPEAKING OF NOSEBLEEDS.
Mackenzie says HOW DO YOU STOP A NOSEBLEED?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a Roman, Zoey says AH YES., THE NOSEBLEED.
HERE IN ANCIENT ROME WE
HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION.
RUB YOUR ARMS WITH SHEEP WOOL.
MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.
BUT IF THIS DOESN'T HELP YOU CAN
STUFF YOUR NOSTRILS WITH BURNED
UP ASHES FROM TADPOLES.
Zoey says THAT'S PRETTY WILD.
HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER IT
WAS STILL KIND OF WEIRD.
Zoey takes a toad on a string out of her pocket and says A TOAD WORN AROUND YOUR NECK
WILL STOP THE BLEEDING SWIFTLY.
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?
YOU WANT A MORE MODERN WAY?
NO PROBLEM.
SIMPLY, DROP A KEY ON A
STRING DOWN YOUR BACK.
AH THE MARVELS OF
MODERN MEDICINE.
Zoey laughs and says SO WEIRD.
TODAY, WE KNOW YOU HAVE TO,
TILT YOUR HEAD DOWN A BIT SO THE
BLOOD WON'T GO DOWN YOUR THROAT
AND THEN PINCH JUST UNDER THE
BONY PART FOR 5 MINUTES.
IF IT JUST WON'T STOP GET HELP.
Owen says HOW COULD SOME PEOPLE SMELL
THINGS BETTER THAN OTHERS CAN?
Zoey says I CHECKED AND IT'S
MAINLY BECAUSE OF OUR GENES.
NO.
NOT THE ONES WE WEAR.
THE GENES IN OUR BODIES ARE THE
THINGS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE
AND EVERY PERSON HAS THEIR OWN
SPECIAL COMBINATION OF SMELLING
GENES.
SOME PEOPLE CAN PICK UP CERTAIN
SMELLS THAT OTHERS CAN'T AND
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUCH GOOD
SENSES OF SMELL THAT THEIR JOB
IS TO MAKE PERFUME.
An animated nose smells perfume and says MM-HMM.
Zoey says OR SMELL BAD ODOURS TO HELP
COMPANIES MAKE THINGS LIKE
DEODORANT.
The nose smells and armpit and says UGH.
Zoey says IN SOME CHINESE MEDICINE
THEY EVEN USE PROFESSIONAL FART
SMELLERS TO HELP
DETECT SICKNESS.
The nose smells fart and says OOH.
VERY HEALTHY.
Zoey says I WANT TO TEST MY
SENSE OF SMELL.
JENNIFER AGREED TO
A FACE OFF TO SEE
WHOSE NOSE IS MORE SENSITIVE.
Jennifer says I THINK I'M READY.
Zoey says WE'RE USING THIS
COOL LITTLE GADGET
CALLED THE NASAL
RANGER.
IT'S USED TO MEASURE THE SMELL
FROM PLACES LIKE LANDFILLS AND
FIGURE OUT IF THE
STINK IS TOO STRONG.
Jennifer says YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE
HERE THE FILTERS THAT ALLOW THE
AIR IN
AND OUT AND THIS IS A LITTLE
DIAL THAT HELPS DETERMINE HOW
MUCH ODOUR IS
ACTUALLY COMING IN.
SO DEPENDING ON THAT
DIAL IT'LL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU
HAVE A
BETTER NOSE OR WHETHER
I HAVE A BETTER NOSE.
Zoey says I'LL START WITH THE
COW MANURE FIRST.
WE ALL SMELL THINGS
DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE
CLOSE TO A
MILLION DIFFERENT
COMBINATIONS OF SMELLING GENES.
Zoey directs the gadget toward a tray full of dirt and says I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING YET.
Zoey says PLUS, SMELL IS CONNECTED
TO OUR MEMORIES,
EMOTIONS AND TASTE.
OH, I'M STARTING TO SMELL IT.
Zoey says SOME PEOPLE LIKE CERTAIN
SMELLS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T
STAND.
Jennifer says OH.
I THINK I SMELL SOMETHING.
Zoey smells a trash bin and says THIS IS GONNA BE GROSS BUT
AM I PICKING UP THE SMELL OF
MANURE
AND ROTTEN FOOD
FASTER THAN JENNIFER?
UGH. WE BOTH AGREE THEY STINK.
Jennifer says EW.
IT SMELLS LIKE
UNDER MY KITCHEN SINK.
YUP.
Zoey says WE'RE FINISHING OUR
EXPERIMENT WITH A SWEET SMELL.
Jennifer smells a flower bouquet and says OH, THERE WE
GO, I GOT IT.
I LIKE THAT SMELL
MUCH BETTER.
Zoey says MUCH BETTER
THAN THOSE ONES.
YUCK.
WELL, THE RESULTS ARE IN.
I OUTSMELLED YOU.
Jennifer says AW.
THAT STINKS.
Zoey says AND MY NOSE IS
SMALLER THAN YOURS.
Jennifer says YOU'RE RIGHT.
Zoey says I THINK I'M READY TO ANSWER
THE QUESTION THAT STARTED OFF
TODAY'S SHOW.
Mohammed says DO BIGGER NOSES
SMELL MORE THINGS?
Zoey says WELL MOHAMMED, THE BIG
ANSWER IS...
Zoey plays the keyboards and says SIZE DOESN'T MATTER. IT MOSTLY
DEPENDS ON HOW MANY SMELL
RECEPTORS WE AND ANIMALS
HAVE AND HOW OUR BRAIN DEALS
WITH THE INFORMATION IT GETS
FROM OUR NOSE.
A RABBIT'S NOSE IS MUCH SMALLER
THAN A HUMAN NOSE BUT IT HAS
MILLIONS MORE SMELL RECEPTORS
AND CAN SMELL MORE THINGS.
DOGS ARE ALSO GREAT SMELLERS
WHICH IS WHY WE USE THEM TO
SNIFF OUT DANGEROUS THINGS.
SOME ANIMALS LIKE BUTTERFLIES
DON'T EVEN HAVE A NOSE BUT
THANKS TO THE SMELL RECEPTORS
ON THEIR FEET THEY CAN TELL WHAT
FLOWERS ARE POISONOUS.
PLUS WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE
COMBINATION OF GENES THAT MAKE
UP OUR SMELLING MACHINE.
MY NOSE IS SMALLER THAN
JENNIFER'S AND MY DAD'S BUT I
PROVED IT'S MORE SENSITIVE.
She sniffs and says AW.
She picks up her dad’s dirty sock and says DAD, START THE WASHING MACHINE.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Breath" song plays again.

The song goes DOES MY BREATH SMELL BAD?
DOES IT MAKE YOU
KIND OF SAD?
WILL YOU TELL ME IF MY
MOUTH HAS A REAL BAD STINK?
JUST TAKE A WHIFF IT'S
PEPPERONI PIZZA I THINK.
DO I TOTALLY WREAK?
I JUST CAN'T TELL.
SO HELP ME OUT AND
TELL ME IF I SMELL.
