TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Connecticut is dominating Jeopardy this week
You’ve probably been spending most of your evening TV viewing time watching the Summer Olympics, but if you’ve caught any episodes of Jeopardy lately you may have seen Yale University PhD student Matthew Amodio on his crazy eight-day winning streak. He won again Monday night with a $19,200 payout. Bringing his grand total so far up to $310,400! Tonight (Tuesday) he will try to keep it going with a new Connecticut wrinkle to the action. He will be defending his epic win streak against another Connecticut competitor Christina Leone who is an operation assistant from East Hartford.
Who will win the battle of smartest one in Connecticut?! I will definitely be tuning in to find out.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How much water is in an Olympic sized pool?
While watching all the swimming, diving, and water polo in the summer Olympics this past week you’ve probably wondered at some point “how much water does it take to fill that thing?”
An Olympic pool has about 2.5 million liters of water. This is enough to fill up 8,200 bathtubs. That’s A LOT of bubble baths.

If you won a gold medal, how would you celebrate? Some athletes order junk food, some celebrate with family, but others….crochet? (7:57)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Airport Piano Player makes over $60,000 in tips thanks to one stranger
Crazy story out of Atlanta that will make you smile.
A 66-year-old guy in Atlanta named Tonee Carter has been playing piano at the Atlanta airport to give people a little mood music as they wait at the gate or during their layover. Recently while he was playing a popular motivational speaker named Carlos Whittaker was walking by and noticed that no one else was paying attention to him and the tip jar was empty. He felt for the guy so he posted a video to his 200,000 Instagram followers asking them to send tips on Venmo. He quickly raised $10,000 30 minutes! The video quickly went viral and over the next week it was up over $70,000!
Amazing.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why does everyone keep referring to these 2021 Olympics as Tokyo 2020?
If you watched even a few minute of the Summer Olympics coverage you’ve probably noticed that despite it being 2021 right now everything still says “Tokyo 2020”. Obviously the games were postponed last year due to the pandemic. But why didn’t they change the year?
The International Olympic Committee decided to keep everything as “2020” because like most things… it all comes down to money. There are many things like the torches, medals, other branding type items and merchandise that were made well before the pandemic started as ‘Tokyo 2020,’. If they were to chance everything to 2021 the name change alone would have cost a ridiculous amount of money. So, even though it’s super confusing… that’s why we’re stuck with Tokyo 2020.
