I love a good Guinness World Record story and this one is a doozy.
Four siblings who live in the midwest just broke the record for highest combined age. Their ages are between 93 the youngest, all the way to 100 which is the oldest. All are still alive making their combined age a record setting 384!
This will certainly be a tough one to beat. But maybe someone will do it one day. You never know.

Selfies have become such a huge part of our culture since the invention of smart phones but who took the first one?! A lot of people say Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian… when it fact it was someone WAY before those two were even born.
Back in 1839 there was a guy in Philadelphia named Robert Cornelius who accidently took a self-portrait of himself while he was experimenting with the invention of one of the first camera models. This is technically the first selfie ever taken.
So if anyone ever tries to argue with you on this you can drop that knowledge on them.

It seems like a silly debate at first, but the more you think about, the more you can’t help but debate the issue. So, which do you think there are more of? Do you agree with Anna or Raven?

What’s the first body part you wash when you get in the shower? The answer might say a lot about your personality! (:25)
Anna’s got three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about! Today his options are; giant spiders invading the east coast, a person who got stuck in a waterslide, and a teacher who bit a student because of a vegetable! (2:52)
They may have similar sounding names, but if you can’t tell the difference between a brutal dictator and a delicious Canadian delicacy, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:37)
Are “Forever Stamps” really good forever? Anna and Raven have been having a fierce debate about it, so they decided to call in an expert! (9:49)
Have you heard of “breadcrumbing”? It’s a new trend going on in the modern dating scene and Anna is pretty sure it’s been happening to Producer Jon! (13:23)
Has someone ever complained about your child to you? Anna was put in this situation the other day, so she asked Parenting Educator Elisabeth Stitt what to do in that situation! (17:10)
You’ve probably played Wordle, but have you ever played Heardle? The new musical spinoff of Wordle is growing in popularity, so Anna decided to have the whole show play it! (24:19)
Could you make it 24 hours without your phone? That’s exactly what Producer Sean did for the last day! (28:18)
Gas prices have gotten out of control recently, so Anna wanted to find out what member of the show has spent the most in the last week! (32:03)
Jacob and Beth have finally booked the family trip to France for the summer. It’s been something they’ve wanted to do for years. Jacob casually invited his mother to join them, and she took the invitation to heart and agreed. Beth can’t believe he would make such a huge decision without consulting with her first. She wants a trip with just her husband and her children. Can you uninvite her? (35:29)
Emanuel has got a shot at $2700! All he has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (43:46)

This is such a fantastic idea that the world could use more of lately.
A teacher in Northern California named Jessica Martin came up with the idea to launch a free hotline which had recordings of her kindergarten students giving encouraging words of life advice, uplifting messages, and even just the sound of kids laughing. They named it “Peptoc” which is great.
Jessica said she came up with the ideas after being inspired by how positive her students were during the pandemic these last few years. She thought it might inspire other people who need it, and turns out she was 100% right. Then they launched the hotline last month it already got over 700 calls in the first hour!
Love it.

The results are in and Connecticut’s favorite dessert is… Ice Box Cake. Wait, what now?
That’s right, one of those wacky Google search articles came out about each state’s favorite dessert. Obviously Ice Cream, Jell-O, and cake were all big winners. But then I got down to Connecticut and saw that ours was “Ice Box Cake” which I had never heard of until today.
After doing some research I found out that it’s basically a layer cake which doesn’t require any baking. It’s just ingredients in a glass dish like wafer cookies, cream, condensed milk, fruit, or whatever else you might want in it. You can customize it any way you want as long as it has the cream-and-cookie base.
The Ice Box name comes from when they started making these back in the early 20th century before mechanical refrigeration was popular. People only had “Ice Boxes” to keep things cold. So that’s what they would use to make the cake cold.
Yum!
