TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: One company makes big move to help 11 veterans in a big way

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: One company makes big move to help 11 veterans in a big way

There are many great ways you can thank a veteran. Whether it be today on Veteran’s Day or any other day of the year.

This one business, the mortgage group Veterans United, just gave 11 homes to 11 vets. They chose veterans who have gone above and beyond to give back to their communities even more after they’ve served the country.  They chose 11 homes because of the date today for Veteran’s Day… 11/11/2021. 

Truly a life changing gift for people. Great story.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is Veteran’s Day on November 11th?

Today is Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all the men and women who have served for our great country.

Veteran’s Day is always on the 11th for a good reason. The date marks the anniversary of the formal agreement that officially ended World War One back on November 11th, 1918. 

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Thanking all our veterans and active service members by reminding people why they’re better than us…in song. Check it out!

Raven’s Earth Animal Pet Pals – Meet Peanut & Katie!

Raven’s Earth Animal Pet Pals – Meet Peanut & Katie!

Katie and Peanut are two peas in a pod…er, in a pigloo. These two Guinea pig girls are a bonded pair at the Connecticut Humane Society and looking for a home together. Katie, who is fluffier and larger, is 2 years old, and her buddy Peanut is 3 years old. They love hanging out in their pigloos, burrowing in blankets, and snacking on leafy greens, and they enjoy being handled once you have them in your lap. Katie even loves getting her chin scratched, and will lift her head higher and higher for more scratchies. Learn more about them at CThumane.org/adopt!

Thursday November 11, 2021:  Veterans Are Awesome; Your Big Decision; Parental Lies

Thursday November 11, 2021: Veterans Are Awesome; Your Big Decision; Parental Lies

Do you let your pets sleep in the bed with you?  As with most things, Anna and Raven have completely different feelings on the subject!  (:30)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a teacher who got political, police engaged in a low-speed pursuit; and a random assault with a frying pan!  (3:26)

Communication and collaboration are important when it comes to making a marriage work, so if you don’t eat your pizza crusts, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:47)

Happy Veteran’s Day!  Anna and Raven give thanks to the Veteran’s in their lives and all over the country.  They even had Producer Jon write a song about how awesome Veteran’s are!  (9:51)

Has someone ever hit on your significant other right in front of you?  Jeff Bezos and Leonardo DiCaprio got into an awkward situation with a woman recently, but it’s nothing compared to Raven’s love triangle with a famous rock star!  (13:02)

What big decision do you have to make today?  Raven is contemplating sneaking a fast food meal while his wife is out of town and Producer Jon has a dental situation that might be delayed by some health issues!  (16:30)

It finally happened.  Anna got an email from her younger daughters teacher about something that happened at school.  But Anna isn’t sure if she’s more angry at her daughter for her behavior or her husband for his reaction!  (23:08)

Did your parents ever make you believe something that turned out to be a total lie?  Anna has been telling her daughter to be careful when getting out of the shower because something very common and very horrible could happen to her!  Spoiler alert:  It’s really not that common.  (26:18)

James and Riley’s 17-year-old daughter has been asking for one gift all year leading into the holidays- a $1200 Gucci bag. Mom says it’ll be her only gift, it’s all she wants! Dad says they can find a used purse for half the price, they’ll just get her one of those. Mom doesn’t think it’s fair to get her a used purse! She works hard at school, just get her the one thing she wants.  (36:09)

The Can’t Beat Raven jackpot is up to $400! Can Melanie beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize?  (44:12)
