Why do you get Moles on your Body?

SPEAKER_1 (0:01)

And now, it's time for Who Smarted.

Hey there, smarty pants, trusty narrator here. If you couldn't tell by the sudsy scrubbing sounds, I'm washing my face. Whoops, probably not the best place for a microphone. There, all dry. I'll just put this over here. Now to rinse.

Okay, nice and clean. Huh, will you look at that? That mole on my neck is looking kind of funny.

SPEAKER_2 (0:29)

Quick, trusty, we've got to go. There's no time. Go?

SPEAKER_1 (0:32)

Where?

SPEAKER_2 (0:33)

The safe house. We got to move now.

SPEAKER_1 (0:36)

Wait a minute. Who are you? And how do you know my name?

SPEAKER_2 (0:39)

The name's Blonde. Ames Blonde.

I'm a secret agent for MI6.

SPEAKER_1 (0:45)

MI6? You work for British Intelligence?

SPEAKER_2 (0:48)

No, Moles International, the Secret Governing Body of Body Moles.

SPEAKER_1 (0:53)

Oh, the Secret Governing Body of Body Moles. Who knew?

SPEAKER_2 (0:58)

No one. That's the point. It's secret.

SPEAKER_1 (1:01)

What does the 6 stand for?

SPEAKER_2 (1:03)

That's a secret.

SPEAKER_1 (1:04)

You don't know, do you?

SPEAKER_2 (1:05)

It doesn't matter. What matters is there's a mole in our organization.

SPEAKER_1 (1:10)

I would assume so. After all, you're the Secret Governing Body of Body Moles.

SPEAKER_2 (1:14)

No, not a normal body mole. A body mole.

SPEAKER_1 (1:20)

Huh?

SPEAKER_2 (1:20)

A spy.

They've been feeding information to our rivals. I, Hoff, the International House of Freckles.

SPEAKER_1 (1:28)

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_2 (1:29)

That's not all. We think we've tracked the location of the mole, Mole.

SPEAKER_1 (1:33)

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_2 (1:34)

We have reason to believe this mole is on your body, trusty.

SPEAKER_1 (1:39)

Of course. I guess you could say I've been marked by international skin tree.

Get it? Instead of intrigue, it's skin intrigue because it's a mole on my skin.

SPEAKER_2 (1:53)

I get it. Can we go now? The Freckles could be listening.

SPEAKER_1 (1:58)

One sec. Smartypants, have you ever wondered what exactly are body moles? How are they different than Freckles or birthmarks? How many moles do people usually have? And what's their purpose? It's time for another whiff of science and history on.

SPEAKER_3 (2:16)

Who's Smarted? Who's Smart?

SPEAKER_2 (2:19)

Is it you?

SPEAKER_1 (2:22)

Is it science or history?

SPEAKER_2 (2:25)

Listen up, everyone.

SPEAKER_1 (2:28)

Now back to Who Smarted.

SPEAKER_2 (4:34)

All right.

We made it to the safe house. We can speak freely.

SPEAKER_1 (4:39)

A Starbucks. For a secret agent, you sure picked a public place for a safe house.

SPEAKER_2 (4:43)

They like to hide in plain sight.

SPEAKER_1 (4:46)

Oh, I get it. Kind of like a spy mole or a body mole. They're right there on your skin, but you don't really notice them.

SPEAKER_2 (4:53)

What would you like to drink?

SPEAKER_1 (4:55)

Uh, um, just a coffee, black. Thanks.

SPEAKER_2 (4:58)

One coffee and one peppermint mochaccino. Shaken, not stirred.

Now, what were you saying about body moles?

SPEAKER_1 (5:07)

I said even though they're right in front of us, we don't really notice them.
