Big time Connecticut basketball game this weekend. Two Connecticut schools not named UCONN will be facing off on national TV. Fairfield will take on Quinnipiac Friday night at 7pm on ESPNU and ESPN+ from M&T Bank Arena in Hamden.
Last time these two faced each other last February Quinnipiac got the win. So the Stags will be looking for a little revenge on the national stage.
Super fun. I will definitely be watching.

Happy Groundhog Day! Punxsutawney Phil ruined my spring time hopes this morning by seeing his shadow and predicting 6 more weeks of winter. Ugh. BUT, how accurate is this groundhog anyway?
Not very. “Phil” has been making his predictions since 1886, and he’s actually only been right 39% of the time! That’s under 50%. You could flip a coin and be more accurate. The Groundhog People at Gobbler’s Knob will tell you that he’s never wrong and maybe they just misheard Phil’s “Groundhogese.” language.
More often than not he predicts more winter. He’s seen his shadow 106 times now. Only 19 times has be seen no shadow and predicted an early spring. Which is crazy to me.
So if you were hoping for that nice spring weather coming sooner rather than later you might get your wish based on Phil’s record.

One of the biggest trends for gifts this Valentine’s Day is getting boudoir photos for your significant other, but Anna doubts that anyone actually wants to receive them. Five calls say it all, what do you think? Catch up with the podcast.
Anna had a fall this morning. She was fine, but the real tragedy was what happened afterward… (1:00)
Anna has three crazy news stories to discuss and Raven gets to pick one! Today his options are; a $1mil chicken wing heist, the reason fries may get more expensive, and a 6 year old with a huge appetite! (4:04)
Dating apps are fun, but if you make your child a part of the process, that’s all I need to know about you! (7:56)
Anna has received an uncomfortable request from a friend of hers for Valentine’s Day. She needs help from Raven and the producers to determine if this is something she should go along with… (11:11)
Something wild is happening at the Dallas Zoo! After a string of grisly incidents and breakouts at the zoo, Anna has assembled a team to get to the bottom of it! (19:13)
If you could go back to high school and redo something, what would it be? A story about a 22 year old reliving her glory days has got Anna wondering… (23:10)
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 retirement announcement that shook the world of sports! (30:45)
Happy Groundhog Day! Anna and Raven spoke to their on-the-scene reporter Alec to get a first-hand look at the festivities in Punxsutawney! (34:42)
Brad and April have a smaller apartment and that’s the reason why Brad is saying that he would like his Super Bowl party to be “Guys only”. April thinks it’s ridiculous and he’s just looking for excuses to not have any women around while he’s watching the games with his buddy. She doesn’t see what’s wrong with just cramming in and having an open invite to all the girlfriends/wives. What do you think? Would you let a “Guys only” party fly in your house? (38:18)
Bryce has got a shot at $1000! Can he beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize? (46:02)
Every Wednesday Kevin is joined by Nick Johnston, TV and Film writer for Vanyaland.com. This week Nick tells us about two movies coming out in theaters on Friday. One featuring Tom Brady’s oldest fans and the other about scary cabin that probably has a big twist at the end since it’s from the mind of M. Night Shyamalan. We also get into the new Netflix doc about the richest dog on the planet.

We’ve all been there… driving along on the highway when you see the break lights start up ahead with all the cars slowing to a halt. NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Sometimes it’s nothing, other times it’s a terrible accident stopping traffic for hours.
Which is what happened on I-70 in Colorado last weekend. There was a big snow storm causing a bad accident where a tractor trailer jackknifed blocking all lanes, causing a 10-mile 5 hour back up. Ugh. Luckily no one was hurt in the accident.
There’s not much you can do in that situation so a group of people decided to make the most of trying to turn things in a positive direction. There was a bluegrass band named Elk Range in one of the vehicles who decided to set up their instruments on the side of the road and play music for everyone who was stuck. People were singing and dancing away having a great time.
It might not have fixed the traffic but I’m sure it lifted people’s spirits a little bit. The video is great, you can watch it here.
