Raven’s Pet Pals – Met Freya!

Raven’s Pet Pals – Met Freya!

Meet Freya! She is a 5-month-old Labrador retriever mix, and she is available for adoption at the Westport location of the Connecticut Humane Society. Here are some notes on the type of home she is looking for! 

~I can live in a single-family home, condos and apartments considered.
~I have not had much experience with children but am willing to consider sharing my home with kids who can be gentle and respectful of pets.
~I would like to live with a dog, but I have not had much experience with cats. I may be willing to share my home with a feline.
~I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.

~I may be medium sized now, but I have the potential to grow to upwards of 100 pounds once I reach adulthood.

Thursday February 23, 2023: Celebrity Products; A Little Bit Naughty; Dumbest Ticket Ever

Thursday February 23, 2023: Celebrity Products; A Little Bit Naughty; Dumbest Ticket Ever

What’s the best store to kill time in?  Anna’s go-to store is Marshall’s, but her husband’s favorite store is her worst nightmare! (:30)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven gets to pick one!  Today his options are; an unconventional prison break, a bride and groom get trapped on their wedding day, and a youtuber who got busted for the dumbest reason! (4:16)

Sometimes you get an important call that you have to take, but if you’re walking around a public place talking at full volume, that’s all I need to know about you! (7:48)

When was the last time you did something naughty?  Anna considers herself a rule follower, except when she’s in one specific situation… (11:03)

What’s the dumbest reason you ever got a ticket?  Producer Sean received a parking ticket over the weekend, but after hearing his story, Anna and Raven are convinced he needs to fight it! (18:32)

Are you up to date on this week’s biggest news stories?  Anna and Raven will get you caught up on what’s trending, including the person who made a $42,000 mistake at an art fair! (30:20)

Have you ever used a celebrity endorsed product that was actually awesome?  Anna’s favorite brand of tequila is made by a huge movie star and she swears it doesn’t give you hangovers! (34:13)

Tyler and Aubrey are getting married but have lived together for years. They don’t need new plates or kitchen appliances, so Tyler would like to register for their honeymoon. Aubrey says that her family is old school, no one will do that and then they’ll just receive random gifts for their home that they don’t want. It’s better just to register for household items and deal with returns and get store credit for a later time. What do you think?  (38:07)

Allison thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can she succeed and win the $2400 jackpot? (46:17)

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did the name Pickleball come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did the name Pickleball come from?

One of the most buzzed about sports lately is Pickleball. It’s sort of like mini tennis. Smaller than a tennis court, but larger than ping pong. You use paddles, an almost wiffle ball like ball, and compete either solo or in two person teams. Very similar to Badminton but with a ball and shorter net.

But where did the name come from? The sport was invented in 1965 by  Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum on Bainbridge Island, Washington

According to the Prichard family, Joel’s wife Joan who in the past had been a competitive rower, came up with the name Pickleball because it reminded her of a pickle boat. Which is when you have all rowers of mixed abilities in one boat. The reason being that Pickeball is a mix of all different sports. Tennis, ping pong, golf, badminton, etc…

I may need to take up Pickelball soon! Looks fun.
