MUNDANE MYSTERIES: When are you supposed to take down your Christmas Tree?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: When are you supposed to take down your Christmas Tree?

It’s January 6th and I feel like a lot of people still have their Christmas trees up. Which seems crazy to me, but apparently today actually is “National Take Down Your Christmas Tree Day” so I guess today’s the day.

We took ours down the Sunday after New Years. Which seemed right. If you have real tree, those only last about four to five weeks at best.  So you really want to take it down before it becomes a fire hazard. The National Fire Protection Association even put out a statement telling people that now is the time to take them down.  They say almost a third of Christmas tree fires happen in January.

If you have a fake tree… go wild, leave it up till March!

Thursday January 6, 2022: What You Do For Fun; The NYC Wing-Woman; Are You Dating A Narcissist?

Finding a Covid test has been one of the biggest difficulties this winter for most Americans.  Anna’s husband Paul recently bought an at home test and actually had someone stalking him for it outside in the parking lot!  (:30)

Are you having a tough time dealing with the rules of dating in 2022?  Anna and Raven spoke to Cher Gopman, the NYC Wing Woman, for some advice on how to navigate the modern dating scene!  (4:01)

What do you do for fun?  It seems like a simple question, but when someone asked Anna, she was surprised by the way she reacted!  (8:00)

Anna’s got 3 crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; A reality star who sells her farts, the theft of a Frito-Lay truck, and an NFL player who got flagged for throwing something that belonged to his opponent!  (19:19)

If you use social media to get back at someone you don’t like, that’s petty, but if you’re the kind of person who keeps track of other peoples’ metaverse feud, that’s all I need to know about you!  (23:19)

A stuffy nose is a common thing at this time of year, but the latest Tiktok cure for a stuffy nose is not just a terrible idea but also a waste of food!  (27:05)

A new year brings new ideas, but that doesn’t mean that all those ideas are good!  Anna and Raven look at three new business ideas that have started in the new year, including one that involves a goldish driving a car!  (30:30)

Are you worried that your partner might be a cheating narcissist?  Well according to one Tiktok user, if your partner says any of these four phrases, then you may be right!  (34:29)

Ben and Miranda spend certain holidays with Miranda’s brother’s family. The issue is that Miranda’s brother never pays for his family, he just expects Ben to pick up the restaurant check. This past New Year’s Day dinner was no exception. He would like to ask for half the bill amount, Miranda says that he’s being petty. Whose side are you on? (38:08)

Charlie and Meghan have got a shot at $100!  All they have to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  (47:30)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Football fan gets lost wedding ring back thanks to this one detail

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Football fan gets lost wedding ring back thanks to this one detail

If you’re married you’ve no doubt had this feeling at least once… you reach over to your ring finger and feel nothing there. It’s the worst, pit in the stomach feeling that you might have lost such a special part of your life.

That’s exactly what happened to this Tennessee Titans fan named Chad Davis. He went to the Titans game on Sunday, and lost his Titans-themed wedding ring somewhere in the stadium. He decided to post a photo of it on social media figuring it was a long shot but worth a try. Luckily the team’s CEO saw the post and messaged him back to let him know they found it!!! The one part that helped was how the ring was blue-and-silver with the Titans’ logo on the side.

I’m sure he’s happy he had such a unique ring.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called Hershey Kisses?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called Hershey Kisses?

You may have eaten a few handfuls of these over the holidays. Delicious Hershey Kisses. But why are they called that anyway?

I always thought it had to do with the shape and how it’s a mold of when you pucker your lips to kiss. But that’s not it! It had more to do with sound actually. When they make the candies in the factory the machine that squirts out the chocolate into that shape onto the conveyor belt makes a sound similar to what a kiss would sound like.

Wow! You’re definitely going to think of that next time you eat one.

Wednesday January 5, 2022: Bad Rep Jobs; Wellness Wednesday; Is Anna Zap Out of Line?

If you could pick your last words, what would they be?  Everyone has been heartbroken over the passing of Betty White, but Anna felt even more distraught after hearing what her last words were! (:30)

Betty White passed away last week, just a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday.  Most people would be happy to live such a long life, but Anna couldn’t help but wonder if she actually wanted to live that long… (3:34)

If you’re gonna talk smack to an athletic celebrity, you better be able to back it up!  And if you think you can just get away with it without any consequences, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:50)

There are some jobs that just have a bad reputation.  Whether it’s fair or not, a lot of people will judge someone based on what they do for a living.  But Anna had an experience with someone over the winter holiday that made her change her opinion about that career!  (10:33)

Why do women refer to their bodies by fruit shapes?  Pear shape, apple shape, it all seems pretty weird!  But Anna heard about a new shape recently, and it’s not based on a fruit…  (22:01)

A snowstorm in Virginia stopped traffic for 24 HOURS!  What would you do if you were stuck in that kind of situation?  Do you have the necessary survival equipment in your car?  Anna and Raven investigate what you would need!  (25:53)

Anna is a spoiler.  Every time she and Raven are watching the same show, she always has to spoil it for him!  The trick is, sometimes she’s telling the truth and other times it’s an outrageous lie that didn’t actually happen on the show.  She thinks it’s funny, but is she out of line?  (29:52)

Michaela and Andrew just celebrated their first Christmas as husband and wife. Michaela’s parents gifted Andrew a saw and a pair of sweatpants that don’t fit. He doesn’t need the saw and would like to exchange the pants. He asked Michaela to request a gift receipt from her parents or at least ask where they bought the items so he can return them. Michaela thinks it’s rude to ask for a gift receipt, a gift is a gift! Whose side are you on?  (37:11)

Colleen has a shot at $3100!  All she has to do is beat Raven at pop culture trivia! (44:40)
