Sunday night was the Grammys. While watching and scrolling Twitter I noticed a lot of people confused about what the difference was between the Record of the Year award and the Song of the Year category.
Let’s figure out it shall we…
According to the Recording Academy, the Record of the Year category “recognizes the artist’s performance as well as the overall contributions of the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and / or mixer(s) if other than the artist.” The Song of the Year category “recognizes the songwriter(s).”
So there you have it. Last night Lizzo won Record of the Year for About Damn Time and Bonnie Raitt won Song of the Year for Just Like That.

Natalie and Jake received an email from their nine-year-old daughter’s teacher asking that their daughter stop bringing a blanket to school because “it’s a distraction”. Their daughter is always cold in class so she started bringing the blanket a few weeks ago. Natalie thinks this is out of line for the teacher, it’s a blanket, she’s cold, what’s the big deal? Jake says that obviously it’s an issue if it’s being addressed and tell their daughter to cut it out. What do you think? (36:27)

Megan’s Mom Quote of The Week: “It’s very tiring babysitting my mom’s grandkids. Can someone tell her to come get them.”
We’ve all been at a game before where they do the silly games with a fan during time outs or halftime to win a car, money, trips. Half court shots, slap shots for hockey, etc… it RARELY ever ends up with the person winning.
Unless you were at this high school basketball game last week in North Dakota. Where a 7th grade student had a chance at $10,000. He had to lit a layup, free throw, 3 pointer, then a half court shot all in a row to win the money. After hitting the first three shots he only had the half court one left… the crowd was getting louder… took the shot, NAILED IT! Won $10 grand. Insane.
He says he’s going to save the money and use it for college. Smart kid!
The 65th Annual Grammy Awards happen this Sunday night February 5th. I figured we would do a Grammy edition Mundane Mystery.
Where did the name “Grammy” come from?
Back at the first Grammy Award ceremony in 1959 they needed an ideas for the gold plated statues they were giving out as the awards. They decided to make it a gold gramophone, which some people refer to as a phonograph or record player. Back then that’s what everyone was listening to music on so it made sense. They shorted the name to “Grammy” and it’s stuck ever since.
