If you have kids especially teens they’re probably on Tik Tok doing dance videos and trying to go viral.
This one woman in Pennsylvania has been posting videos of her 60-year-old father roller-skating, and now he has become a star on TikTok. She uses the hashtag #ShuffleDad which is hilarious. He doesn’t really do anything special. He just skates in circles to music at his local rink but the followers love it! He already has 10 million views and almost all the comments have been positive.
Here are some of the videos. Fun!

You may have seen this story lately, how Mattel is offering to buy back old Barbie dolls in exchange for credit to buy a new one or something else on their site
That got me thinking. Does Barbie have a full name? Or is it just simply “Barbie”?
She does have one come to find out, as well as a whole backstory! Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. She is from Willows, Wisconsin. Her birthday is March 9, 1959. She also first made her debut when she was displayed at the New York Toy Fair.

Beniffer has returned! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been spotted vacationing together and Anna is so excited! But poor Alex Rodriguez isn’t having quite as enthusiastic a reaction… (:30)
Has your morning routine been moving a little slower since the pandemic started? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Anna and Raven spoke to sleep expert Dr. Kate Kaplan about the “RISE UP” method. “RISE UP” is an acronym for a series of steps you can take every morning to help you get going! (4:11)
It’s definitely not cool to drive slow in the fast lane, but if you’re driving on backroads and the person behind you starts doing THIS, that’s all I need to know about them! (8:08)
The NextDoor App is a great way to keep in touch with what’s happening in your neighborhood. But it’s also a great way to find out which of your neighbor’s are crazy! Anna and Raven saw a particularly funny comment thread on the app, so they got their co-workers to act it out! (11:28)
Do you have old Barbie’s or Matchbox cars at your house? Mattel is offering a program where you can send them back to be recycled into new toys for other kids to enjoy! How nice is that, right? Well Anna doesn’t think it’s nice at all, and she thinks that Mattel has an ulterior motive for asking for our toys back… (15:23)
Are porta-potties always for public use, even if they’re on your property? Raven is having some construction done on his house and needed to rent a porta potty, but now he’s noticing people in the neighborhood using it. One guy in particular really crossed the line! (19:23)
Would you go out with Bill Gates? The dating app Tinder has had to start cracking down on fake Bill Gates profiles after his divorce announcement, and it made Anna and Raven wonder if they would be willing to go out with him? For once, they both felt the exact same way! (23:22)
What’s the longest you’ve gone without showering? Anna and Raven had a busy week last week, and it resulted in Raven going entirely too long without showering! Anna was super grossed out, but it turns out there can be some benefits to showering less often! (30:03)
Couples Court: Justin’s stepdaughter is very disrespectful to him. She is 16 and she has made it very clear that she doesn’t have to listen to him because he’s not her “real dad”. Now, the teen has approached him because she would like to go to an acting camp over the summer that will cost $2600. Her mom (aka, Justin’s wife) doesn’t have the means and would like for him to chip in to cover it, he doesn’t think he should because of her lack of respect towards him. Violet says that she’s a teenager, she’ll grow out of this, he’s just being spiteful! Whose side are you on? (40:00)
Arielle has a shot at $700! All she has to do is beat Raven at pop culture trivia! (49:10)

Here is today’s question and answer if you missed it earlier.
Q: This animal can fall more than 100 feet without injuring itself…
A: A squirrel

This is a good story for all the animal lovers.
Tuesday morning a stranded horse was saved from the side of the Branford River. It had got stuck in the mud in the marsh area. Some people say it struggling and called the police. Branford Police, fire, and Animal Control arrived on the scene to help the horse. It was a fantastic community effort by everyone to save the horse who came out of it uninjured.
Maybe they should enter him in the Preakness this weekend to continue the good mojo!
Branford Police answered a unique call for service this morning 🐎 . Sergeant Konesky, Officer Campanelli, Branford Fire…

I thought of this Mundane Mystery the other day as my 2-year-old daughter was running around the house “checking” us all with her toy stethoscope. It’s such an odd tool. Who invented it and why does it look so odd?
The person who invented the tool was a guy named Rene Laennec. He was a French doctor in the late 1700s. The reason he came up with the idea was because he didn’t feel comfortable putting his ear directly on women’s chests when he was doing their checkup. The stethoscope made it so he could be a safe distance away while not feeling weird.
This is all you’re going to think of the next time you have a doctor’s appointment. Ha ha
