Anna is attending a wedding this coming weekend and can’t wear heels due to her recent leg injury. It’s the perfect time for her to test out The Ergo Foot! It’s supposed to give you the lift of a heel without wearing heels. Is it worth the buy!?
MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What are baby spiders called?
I don’t know about you but I always think of spiders full grown or in eggs. Never as babies. But obviously they have to grow up into adult spiders. So what does one call a baby spider?
The official name for spiders that have yet to reach maturity yet is “spinderlings”. How adorable! Maybe that will help cure your fear of spiders, a cute name.
Another crazy fact is that they are born in groups of thousands. Which I don’t want to be anywhere near when that happens. No matter how cute their name is.

When is it ok to start saying “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” to people? Anna found a poll that reveal how conflicted people are about it! (:30)

Anna’s bosses have commented that she sometimes has a problem staying awake. So this week she has decided to do something about it! Today, Raven has an idea to keep Anna awake, and it involved making her completely lose her temper! (6:27)
It’s one thing to buy yourself or your spouse workout equipment for Christmas, but if you’re buying it for your toddler, that’s all I need to know about you! (9:44)

Emojis are a great way to express emotion and nuance in a text message. But does everyone read emojis in the same way? Anna read an article that said men and women interpret emojis very differently, so she decided to put it to the test! (20:45)
Anna loves cheesy Christmas movies, and she has an idea for a fantastic new movie that’s full of holiday cheer! Now she just needs Raven’s help to put together a trailer so she can pitch it to Hallmark! (24:18)
Anna is the matron of honor at her friend’s wedding! The only problem is, she blew out her knee and won’t be able to wear heels. But she found a popular item on Amazon that might help solve her problem… (28:18)
The Santa Tipline has returned! Call 833-431-0905 and leave Santa a voicemail about who has been naughty and who has been nice. Anna and Raven will play the funniest messages on the air! (32:11)
Whitney’s sister is flying in for the holidays and would like to stay with Whitney and her husband, Billy. Billy was on board until he found out that she’s bringing her new boyfriend too. He’s not comfortable with a stranger staying in his house. Whitney says they have to welcome them, it’s only a few days! What do you think? Would you let the new boyfriend stay or tell them to get a hotel? (35:45)
Evelyn thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia! Can she succeed and win the $2000 jackpot? (43:06)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD! Hero stray dog saves family from house fire, reunites with his own
A family in Virginia were asleep in their home when they were woken up by a stray dog outside barking and barking. When they went to see what was going on they realized a fire has started in a section of the home and that’s what he was barking at.
Luckily they were able to get out of the house and call the fire department. After the fire was out and everyone was safe the firefighters took the stray dog and posted a photo asking if anyone knew the owners. Miraculously the dog’s family saw the post and were reunited with him!
A great story all around.

You’ve probably started watching Christmas movies already… have you got to The Grinch yet? One mystery about him… why is he green?
The director of the original animated special How The Grinch Stole Christmas! back in 1966 was trying to figure out what color the Grinch should be when we was making the film. At the time he was driving an ugly green rental car and then it hit him… that’s exactly the color this character of The Grinch should be. So that’s what he did.
