Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday so today’s mystery is football related. A lot of the prop bets from Vegas have started to come out. Random things you can bet on like the coin toss, “how long will the national anthem be”, and what color Gatorade the winning team will dump on the coach. Always very fun. But one bet that confused me, even as someone who watches football a lot was “player records an octopus” An octopus? What does that mean?!
Apparently it’s when a player scores a touchdown, then the team goes for the 2-point conversion which the same player also scores that as well. Giving that player 8 points total. Get it? eight, octopus. Pretty funny! I bet it pays out a lot too since it seems very rare that would happen.
Police in Philadelphia are greasing light poles in preparation for Sunday’s game. Eagles’ fans climb them when they win. Is it possible to climb a greased light pole? We asked our friend American Ninja Warrior Joe Moravsky to help us find out.

Isabelle and Cody had no plans to sell their home but they received a very good offer to sell. Cody wants to take the money, move in with his parents, and wait for the market to cool down so they can buy a bigger, better home with their windfall. Isabelle doesn’t want to sell her house, she’s happy there and moving in with the in-laws sounds awful. What do you think? (36:10)

Every Tuesday Kevin talks all things food with Alex from CT FoodGirly about all things food related in Connecticut. This week we created the ultimate super bowl menu with some of Alex’s go-to spots to pick up all different game-day snacks for the game on Sunday. From pizza to wings, ribs, and tacos.
ALEX’S PICKS:
Home – Branford – Small & Large Trays of Mac & Cheese. They are putting their own twist on this classic meal and offering Meatball Parm, Buffalo Chicken, and Pulled Pork Mac, so a lot of fun Mac & Cheese options at Home to spice up Sunday night for the game.
Right down the street in Branford is Lennys. Who is offering Uncle Lloyds Baby Back Ribs for the Super Bowl. This offer includes 8 Half Racks with Lenny’s housemade BBQ sauce. I’m a huge rib girl, so I hope to have some Sunday night.
What’s a football game without some wings? One6Three in New Haven is offering 10% off all wing orders and if you buy four large pizzas, you get a free cheese pizza. So two of my favorite things, pizza and wings, definitely look for that Superbowl offer from 163.
I’m going to keep up in New Haven to introduce Camacho Garage’s Superbowl offer – which is there Famila Dinners – which are family style dinners at really great prices too, they are offering pulled pork tacos, chicken, and steak meals too. So if you want some really flavorful tacos, my favorite are the birria, look to Camacho Garage for Sunday’s game.
Lastly, I have Zuppardis Pizza which has locations in West Haven, Ansonia and Derby. For Super Bowl they are offering their Stuffed Breads: Pepperoni, Buffalo Chicken, Spinach, Chicken or Eggplant Parm or even Philly Steak. I would love to get my hands on that philly steak stuffed bread, perfect for an appetizer for Sunday.
Sometimes it’s the littlest things that can change someone’s bad day or put them into a better mood. Like ice cream.
Everyday Sundae is a pretty unique ice cream shop located in Washington D.C. They’re all about making people happy and bringing joy regardless of their financial situation.
The owner Charles Foreman says that everyone walks away with a smile. Everyone who walks in gets a cone. Whether they have money in their pocket or not.
If you don’t have the money to buy ice cream, you can still enjoy a sundae for free. Their mission of generosity and kindness has not only earned the shop a special place in the hearts of D.C. residents but has also attracted people from all over the country with the press they’ve been getting.
Everyday Sundae has started to become a symbol of hope and positivity in the community. They truly believe that by simply enjoying a delicious treat, they are making a positive impact on the world.
Which I 100% believe is true. Who doesn’t love free ice cream?!
If you’ve ever spent time in NYC you’ve no doubt seen the sea of yellow taxis. But why yellow?
Originally when they first started back in 1907 all the taxis in New York were red and green. But they quickly started to realize those colors were blending in with the other vehicles on the road. The solution was to paint them all bright yellow to make it easier for people to see when they needed a ride. Within a few years all the cars were painted that yellow we see today.
