TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: School pulls off elaborate trick on teacher to reunite her with soldier son

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: School pulls off elaborate trick on teacher to reunite her with soldier son

I’m a sucker for these kinds of stories with families being surprised by their military loved ones.

This one happened at a high school in New Jersey. The entire school set up an elaborate plan with a Lost and Found Day where students could claim lost stuff. But it wasn’t real at all. Just a big setup in order to surprise one of their teachers who has a song in the military.  He had been stationed in Iraq and she hadn’t seen him in over a year! You can imagine her surprise when she realized what was happening. Here is the video of how it all went down.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Can you own a color?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Can you own a color?

There are so many colors in the world, but can you actually own a color? Some companies do.

Places like UPS, T-Mobile, Target, Tiffany and Co., and that Tar Heal baby blue that University of North Carolina uses all have trademarks on those signature colors. So that Target red… you can’t get anywhere else. Just Target. It’s their color.

Now I want my own color!

Tuesday June 7, 2022:  Just Give Up; Raven Lost at Sea; Celebrity Doppelganger  

Have you ever confided in your parent only to be shut down brutally?  Anna confessed to feeling sad about something to Mom, only to have her Mom tell her she was way too old to feel that way!  (:30)

Do you have a celebrity doppelganger?  Anna has always been convinced that she looks just like DJ from Full House, but one listener has a more obscure celebrity that they think is Anna’s secret twin!  (3:17)

Police chases are supposed to be adrenaline-fueled, high speed events!  So if you have the time to drink a capri-sun while involved in a police chase, that’s all I need to know about you!  (7:13)

What’s your love language?  According to most relationship experts there are 5, but Dr. Patrick Wanis wants to tell Anna and Raven about a potential 6th love language!  (10:57)

Vacation is usually a relaxing time, but for Raven it almost resulted in him getting lost at sea!  (14:57)

If you’ve ever wished you could take back or change a text message, Anna has some good news for you!  (18:57)

Has your child ever given you a bizarre request and, instead of fighting, you just gave in?  Anna’s toddler has decided she wants to change her name, but she has gone about it in a surprisingly adult way!  (22:56)

Do you find Dad Bod’s attractive?  Anna doesn’t but if you can convince her otherwise, you could win a $200 Home Depot gift card!  (30:47)

Your wedding proposal is usually one of the most memorable moments in your life.  But for one couple at Disney World, it became memorable for all the wrong reasons!  (34:17)

Steve and Lucy are planning their fall wedding and Lucy has an idea- dogs! She wants to invite their guests to bring their dogs to the party. She even okayed it with the venue. (They’re having an outdoor wedding at a vineyard) Steve thinks it’s not a great idea, it can be chaotic, plus, they’ve already made a big “no kids” rule, but people can bring their dogs?! What do you think?  (38:16)

Kiara has got a shot at $600!  Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize?  (44:33)

It’s always fun to see our fellow Connecticut residents compete on TV. There has been a bunch of Food Network shows, Jeopardy, and more over the years. But there is something REALLY impressive about American Ninja Warrior.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do our fingers get wrinkly when swimming?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do our fingers get wrinkly when swimming?

If you were at the beach or in a pool over the weekend you might have noticed the thing that always happens to your fingers when you stay in the water too long… they get all wrinkly! But why does this happen? It’s actually really interesting phenomenon.

It’s really just the blood vessels below the skin starting to constrict, which a lot of scientists say it the body’s way of helping us out when it comes to picking up wet objects. Part of our evolution as a species. What?! Yup. It’s true. There was even a study done back in 2013 that has been published in Biology Letters where the scientists found that people with wrinkled fingers were faster at picking up items under water like marbles, rather than the people with unwrinkled fingers. There was no difference when they did it with dry objects out of the water though.

Fascinating. Science!
