If you have kids who are into Sesame Street you may have wondered this or even know the answer already.
Cookie Monster does in fact have a real name and it’s so random… Sid! In a Q&A he did on YouTube someone asked and he confirmed his name is in fact “Sid Monster”. Hilarious!

Anna & Raven are sending Queen Elizabeth The II an Anna & Raven mask overnight! Do you think she will wear it!? 🤔
Rental car prices are crazy right now, and it’s almost impossible to find a car, but it might not be for the reason you think! Jonathan Weinberg is from Autoslash.com, and he spoke to Anna and Raven about the surprising reason it’s so difficult and expensive to find a rental car right now.
Anna’s feeling nervous. She keeps asking Raven every 5 minutes if she looks ok. What’s got her all worked up? The same thing that has millions of people feeling stressed all over the country… (00:30)
Prince Phillip has passed away, and Britain is getting ready for the first royal funeral since Princess Diana. Due to covid restrictions though, the official funeral will be small, only about 30 people. Anna was wondering how the Queen picks out her mask? Is it a royal mask with the Union Jack on it, or maybe just a regular blue surgical mask? That’s when she suddenly had a brilliant idea… (2:50)
Are you up to date on this week’s news? Well Anna has three crazy news stories you might not have heard yet, and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about! His options are; How your dog can get paid to get drunk, Harvey Weinstein talking to his lawyers about air fryers, or a feel good story about a dog possessed by demons! (9:37)
Red lights are a big inconvenience, especially when you’re running late, but if you do this every time you’re stopped at a red light that’s all I need to know about you! (13:05)

What inappropriate question has someone asked you at work? Anna and Raven got an email saying that asking about someone’s vaccine is an invasion of privacy and not appropriate for the workplace. So, naturally, they sent Producer Jon around the office to ask other inappropriate questions! (20:15)
What weird thing do you write off on your taxes? Tax season is Raven’s favorite time of year, he takes deductions on everything! But one person called in who has him beat. You won’t believe how this person justifies writing off food! (25:57)
Couples Court: Dominque and Mark bought a new house and Dominque wants to borrow from their 401K to buy new furniture and to fix some things. Because of Covid, you don’t have to pay a tax penalty, so she thinks it’s the perfect time. He says that money is just for retirement, and they shouldn’t touch it. What if there’s an emergency in the future and they need it? Whose side are you on? (33:18)
The Can’t Beat Raven jackpot is one of the highest every at $2800! Does Regina have what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize? (40:00)

It’s crazy how one little nice gesture you do for someone could change their whole life.
That’s what happened with this story in Texas. Someone gave this homeless guy a $100 gift card to Outback Steakhouse so he could enjoy a nice meal. While he was there eating the manager at Outback became friends with him. She told him she would make sure he never went hungry. After a while he became a regular and they eventually gave him a job bussing tables. The story just gets better from there.
The same manager also reached out on a local Facebook group looking for cheap hotels, so he’d have a place to stay for a while. What she didn’t expect was how many random people started to donate clothes, groceries, a bike, and over $2,200 in cash to help the guy get an apartment. His life has been completely turned around for the better. All from that one gift card.
Amazing.

Every time I open Twitter I wonder why the logo is that little bird. It even has a name too!
The bird’s name in the logo is “Larry”. Which is named after the famous basketball player… Larry Bird who played for the Boston Celtics. The reason behind it is that co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone, grew up in Massachusetts and was a huge Boston Celtics fan. As someone who’s from Massachusetts and also a Celtics fan I can appreciate this story. This makes me like Twitter even more now.
Anna & Raven found out that pickle juice has some health benefits to it, so they each took a shot of it earlier this morning. Somehow, they convinced Producer Jon to drink the rest of the juice in the jar! Can he do it!?
