Q: According to a recent study, doing THIS errand can actually reduce stress and anxiety
A: Going grocery shopping
We can all agree that running a marathon or half-marathon is very difficult. Now imagine doing it while pushing a stroller… with FIVE kids.
That’s what this Super Dad in northern California did recently to break world record for running a half-marathon in 2 hours and 19 minutes. All while pushing all five of his quintuplets in a stroller.
He says that he has done stroller runs before in the past but this is the last one he’ll do. Understandable! Especially because the kids are four years old which is A TON of weight to push.
I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old and that double stroller wears me out just walking around the block.

If you’ve ever dropped a coin inside a fake pig you’ve probably wondered “why is it a piggy banks? what do pigs have to do with money and saving” Well, nothing actually.
Piggy banks got their name from an orange clay people used to make pots and jars in the Middle Ages which was called “pygg”. When people would have extra coins, they’d put them into a pygg pot.
Over time people would request different shapes for the clay. One of the most popular being the shape of a “pig”. Which has stuck ever since.

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at The Oscars yesterday, so it gave Anna an interesting idea…
It’s no secret we are up very early for our job, but why do you get up so early? Do you have to hit the gym before work? Take the dog for a walk? You may want to start waking up early when you find out what time they claim successful people wake up.

It’s the story that everyone will be talking about today, but the question is; was it even real? (:30)
What time do you get up in the morning? A new study shows that there is a correct time of day to get up if you want to be successful! (4:30)
The Chris Rock/Will Smith scandal is all over the news, but at least one positive thing came out of it! A nice wholesome life lesson from none other than Denzel Washington. (11:16)
Every news story these days has people on both sides of the debate and the Oscar’s scandal is no exception. Anna and Raven decided to ask the callers; who was at fault in the Chris Rock/Will Smith situation? (14:55)
The jury is still out on who was to blame for all the drama at last night’s Oscar’s, but the debate made Anna curious. Would it have been as big a deal if it had been Jada who had hit Chris Rock? (26:02)
Kevin and Andrea have a teenage daughter. She was recently humiliated when her friends pointed out that Kevin (her dad) was following sexy models on TikTok. Kevin was unaware that anyone could see who he was following but is unphased. He’s an adult, he can follow whoever he wants. Andrea says not only is it embarrassing to their daughter, but it’s also embarrassing to her! She wants him to delete his account all together. He clearly doesn’t understand how social media works. He refuses. What do you think? (37:04)
Emelda has a shot at $3900! Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize or will the jackpot rise to new record highs? (45:40)
