Thursday November 4, 2021: Was Anna Zap Out of Line; Goop Gift List; Oddly Attractive

What do you sleep in at night?  According to science, there’s a specific way to go to bed at night to maximize health benefits, and neither Anna or Raven are doing it!  (:15)

What odd thing do you find attractive in another person?  It could be something you wear, a type of jewelry, or even how someone talks.  One caller is particularly attracted to something called a “decolletage”!  (2:45)

Anna has got three crazy news stories, and Raven is gonna pick one to get the details on, but this week there’s a theme!  All three stories are about thieves who failed in spectacular fashion!  (10:10)

The COVID vaccine has been approved for kid’s 5-11 and the CDC has some suggestions for preparing your kids for the shot.  But Anna has some serious issue with the #1 recommendation that doctors suggest!  (15:43)

Is Anna Zap out of line?  Over the weekend, Anna ran into a friend she hadn’t seen in a long time and gave her a compliment on her appearance.  But after seeing her friend’s reaction, Anna is worried she might have said the wrong thing!  (19:31)

How old is “old”?  The UN has agreed that 65 is officially considered old, but Anna and Raven asked some kids what they thought and the answers were dramatically different!  (27:05)

Every year, Oprah releases a list of her favorite things for the holiday season, and it can be a great resource for finding good gifts!  This year though, Gwyneth Paltrow did the same thing through her company Goop and it’s exactly what you think it is…  (30:10)

Where do you keep your butter?  Aaron’s mom always kept the butter out so that it stayed soft, but now his wife Carolina prefers to keep it refrigerated.  The problem is that Aaron’s mom always leaves it out when she comes over even though Carolina has asked her not to! Aaron says it’s no big deal and Carolina should just let it go.  Whose side are you on?  (34:08)

Allison thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can she succeed and win the $800 jackpot?  (41:33)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: An idea 10 years in the making is putting smiles on faces

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: An idea 10 years in the making is putting smiles on faces

These days the smallest little things can sometimes brighten your day or make you smile. The effort that goes into some of these ideas is amazing.

Like this guy in Oregon who owns a lumber company. He planted a group of tress 10 years ago in a very specific pattern. A smiley face. The trees were strategically planted in an area covered with evergreens. The trees that were planted have needles that turn yellow which makes the smiley face really pop. It’s about 300 feet wide so anyway driving by the highway can see it.

Here’s a video to see what it looks like. So awesome!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why did they name it Sesame Street?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why did they name it Sesame Street?

If you have toddlers in the house you’ve probably seen a countless number of Sesame Street episodes. But where did the name come from?

It’s pretty simple actually. After searching for a catchy name for the show one of the writers in the show’s writer’s room suggested “Sesame” based on the famous saying “Open, Sesame!” which feels welcoming like you’re about to do something exciting or go on an adventure. Everyone loved it and the rest is history.

Some named that were rejected… The Video Classroom, 1-2-3 Avenue B, and Fun Street. I don’t hate Fun Street but I’m happy they went with Sesame.

Wednesday November 3, 2021: Pet Voices; Easy Thing You Can’t Do; How To Fake Cry

Is there anybody in the world that you would want to call you every single morning?  Ed Sheeran recently said that a major celebrity calls him every day, and this is definitely someone that would be hard to ignore!  (:30)

Daylight savings is this weekend and it can definitely lead to some disruptions in your daily schedule!  But Anna had no idea how dire some of the physical symptoms of Daylight Savings Time could be!  (3:26)

Washing your hands is not a hard thing to do, so if you use a public bathroom and do THIS instead, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:29)

Are you able to cry on command?  An acting coach has a viral video going around that promises to make you learn how to cry.  But will it work on Raven?  (9:23)

What’s something easy, that everybody else can do, that you just can’t figure out?  Anna works around electronics and computers every day at the radio station, so why does she still need her teenage daughter to do this one simple thing for her?  (13:21)

Do you ever give your pet a funny voice?  Anna has a voice that she uses when she’s speaking as her dog Lila, and it’s shockingly similar to the voice she uses for Raven too!  (28:02)

Kevin can’t stand his best friend’s fiancée.

Kevin’s wife, Amy, says you can’t tell a grown man not to get married because you don’t like her! Whose side are you on?  (35:01)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Here’s why you’ll be seeing way more beards and facial hair this month

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Here’s why you’ll be seeing way more beards and facial hair this month

It’s a tradition unlike any other… the start of No-Shave November! Over the next few weeks you may see friends, family, coworkers, all growing out their finest beards, staches, goatees, neck hair, sideburns, and anywhere else hair can grow all for a great cause. It’s all for cancer awareness. 

Apparently more people than ever plan to ditch the razor and participate this year. One poll of 20,000 Americans found 24% of men and 10% of women plan to participate by not shaving all month.

I think I might do it too… so if you see me out and about around Connecticut unshaven that’s why.
