Monday August 2, 2021: Raven’s MRI; What Makes You Lazy; The Producer Olympics

Anna has a hidden talent.  She thinks this talent makes her unique and creative, but Raven just finds it dangerous and slightly disgusting.  (:30)

It’s the Producer Olympics!  While the greatest athletes in the world compete in Tokyo, Producer Jon and Producer Sean compete to name random songs the fastest!  (4:30)

Are you up to date on this weeks trends?  Anna and Raven will get you up to date with this weeks stories, including one about a shocking revelation from Matt Damon!  (12:29)

If you speak to thousands of people on a daily basis, professionally, and you don’t bother to do your research about a nationally televised event, that’s all I need to know about you!  (16:29)

This year’s Olympics aren’t just great, they’re Japan-Tastic!  Anna and Raven discuss the wackiest things coming out of the Tokyo games, including the reason that athletes are encouraged to drink alone!  (19:43)

You’re probably a motivated person, but what’s the one thing you’re super lazy about?  Raven never puts anything away, and Anna will wait weeks before unpacking her luggage, but one caller is capable of burning an entire day on this popular app!  (22:37)

Getting an MRI can be scary, and the technicians don’t make it any more calming!  Raven got an MRI the other day, and he and Anna both noticed that every MRI tech do the same nerve-wracking thing!  (29:37)

Alison and Clark are going on vacation soon, but now Alison wants to cancel!  Clark’s 20 year old son, who is Alison’s step-son, ruined her garden after getting drunk with his friends, and Alison wants to cancel the trip as a punishment!  Whose side are you on?  (37:17)

Jim thinks he’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can he succeed and win the $1100 jackpot?  (46:39)

Big win today for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team at the Summer Olympics today as they defeated The Netherlands 4-2 in a penalty kick shoot out to advance the to Semifinal round.

Connecticut should be proud as Stratford’s very own Alyssa Naeher, the USWNT goalie, made two HUGE saves during the shoot-out to secure the win. Yeah Alyssa! Congrats to the whole team… now let’s bring home that gold medal.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do Olympic divers shower after every dive?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do Olympic divers shower after every dive?

If you’ve been watching any of the diving events in the summer Olympics you’ve probably noticed one interesting thing that every diver does. They shower in between dives. But why?!

I thought it might have been to wash the chlorine and chemicals off? But that’s not it at all. The pool water is very cold and can easily make you cramp up, so they take a warm shower or sit in the hot tub between dives to keep their muscles loose. Now, why can’t they just make the pool water warmer? I guess that is a decision that gets made by people who are much more qualified than us.
