Friday June 25, 2021: The Time You Got Stuck; Raven’s Report Card; Mommy’s Margarita Friday

They say that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life!  But Anna was surprised at a study that measured how long it took people to start hating their job!  (:30)

Have you ever gotten stuck?  A 14-year old in New York got stuck in a dressing room, and it took the fire department to get her out!  (2:54)

Every parent remembers the birth story of their children, but one woman’s roadside delivery is Anna’s literal worst nightmare!  (13:32)

It’s time for Mommy’s Margarita Fridays!  Moms (and Dads!) call in the crazy stuff their kids did to them that earned Mom a margarita!  (28:24)

Bryan and his son Andrew are teaming up to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can they pull it off and claim the $1600 jackpot? (38:05)

Ed Sheeran Has Returned As A Vampire In Video For New Song “Bad Habits”

Ed Sheeran Has Returned As A Vampire In Video For New Song “Bad Habits”

We’ve missed Ed Sheeran the last few years. You might remember back in December of 2019 Ed announced he was going to take a break from music and social media to recharge a bit. Then a few short months later Covid hit extending his break a bit longer than expected. During his time off he became a father! He and his wife Cherry welcomed their first child to the world in the fall of 2020.

The new song he released today is called “Bad Habits” which he says is about how he has changed his approach to life and work since the birth of his daughter Lyra last year.

There’s a fun vampire themed video too!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Principal Gives Seniors The Most Thoughtful Gift Ever

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Principal Gives Seniors The Most Thoughtful Gift Ever

It’s still graduation season and the good stories keep rolling in from seniors. This one is from a school in Palm Coast, Florida.

A principal named Jeff Reaves is starting to go viral after he wrote 459 personalized notes. One for every graduating senior at his high school.  He walked around and left them on the kid’s seats before they got their diploma at graduation. What a thoughtful idea as a sendoff to the graduating class. That’s the type of person you want as your principal. His hand must have been hurting after writing all those, but it’s totally worth it. The handwritten note is a lost art and we should bring it back like he did.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does SPF stand for? How do they come up with the number?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does SPF stand for? How do they come up with the number?

Summer is officially here and I hope you’re using the correct SPF sunscreen. But what does SPF stand for? And how do they come up with the number?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and the number beside it tell you how well the sunscreen protects your skin against sunburn. But there is a very specific formula they use to determine which SPF is for you.

Here is how it’s explained:  The number of seconds it takes a patch of skin to slightly redden when covered in sunscreen is divided by the number of seconds it takes to slightly redden when there is no sunscreen applied. Say it took 300 seconds for skin to burn with sunscreen, and 10 seconds to burn without it. 300 is divided by 10, which is 30. The SPF is 30.

Interesting! I’m usually an SPF 50 or higher. Have to keep these sunburns away.

Anna is having a tough time figuring out if her pre-teen daughter is old enough for certain freedoms and responsibilities.  So she decided to ask Raven and the callers what the right age is, and there were definitely some differences of opinion!  (22:08)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Family gets reunited with dog after more than a decade

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Family gets reunited with dog after more than a decade

If you’re a dog lover or animal person this story is sure to make your heart melt.

A family over in England just got their dog back after it disappeared from their yard as a puppy 11 YEARS AGO! Someone had found it on the street when it went missing. They brought it to a vet who scanned its microchip. That’s how they were able to eventually track it back to the owners. Its name is Crumpet, and they family still doesn’t know whether the dog was stolen 11 years ago or just walked off and got lost. Either way they’re just glad to have their dog back safe and sound. Even if it’s more than a decade later.
