TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The Return of Spring Sports In Connecticut Is On Deck

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The Return of Spring Sports In Connecticut Is On Deck

Very exciting news if you have kids who play spring sports. The CIAC recently announced the return of spring sports, with certain COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Here is the full plan.

Basically spring sports can all return at the end of this month. This is great news for student athletes in Connecticut. It’s so important to be able to compete and get outside for some fresh air at the same time. It also brings a feeling of normally back to our lives which we all crave any way we can get it right about now.

Good luck to all the teams, athletes, and coaches this spring!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does Space smell like?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does Space smell like?

There are only a handful of people on the planet who know the answer to this one. Astronauts who have been in space. I’ve always wondered this, what does Space smell like? Does it even have a smell? Apparently the answer is yes.

Most former and current astronauts have all said the same thing when it comes to what they smell on spacewalks while floating at zero gravity. The distinct odor that always lingers they describe as hot metal or a searing steak. What a minute… Space smells like steak?! Get me on the next shuttle please. I need to eat a medium rare ribeye while looking back at Earth immediately.

Wednesday March 24th 2021: Wellness Wednesday; Random Place You Slept; What Your Parents Let You Do

Lots of people label their lunch at work, but few people go to this extreme.  Anna noticed that one co-worker is doing something unexpected to keep their lunch untouched!

People can be jerks at the grocery store, and definitely in the parking lot!  But if you react to people’s rudeness like this, that’s all I need to know about you!  (2:52)

What’s the strangest place you’ve ever fallen asleep?  1 in 4 American’s suffer from insomnia, but not Anna and Raven!  Anna falls asleep in the pickup line at her daughter’s school every day, and Raven can even fall asleep at the dentist!  But one caller fell asleep somewhere that almost got her locked up in a foreign country!  (6:34)

March Gladness continues!  Anna and Raven take your votes to see what makes you happier!  Today’s matchup is between two guardians of glee; Losing Weight Without Trying vs. Warm Towels Out of the Dryer.  Find out who wins in the podcast and vote online or call in to vote for tomorrow’s match-up!  (16:54)

Sometimes the best way to make your life better, is to make your kid’s life better!  Studies show that kids fall asleep easier, and stay asleep longer if they read stories about animals.  Today on Wellness Wednesday, Anna and Raven write their own animal stories to help get your little one to sleep!  (22:06)

What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever found in a box of cereal?  Someone found shrimp tails in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and it started a whole debate on twitter!  But that’s not the craziest part of the story.  You won’t believe the crazy connection this guy has to one of your favorite 90’s sitcoms!  (26:06)

What crazy thing did your parents let you do as a kid?  Anna grew up with strict immigrant parents, but they miraculously allowed her to go to Cancun as a senior in High School!  You won’t believe what one caller’s Dad let him do when he said he wanted to join the air force!  (29:12)

Ava’s mother moved in after they had their first baby to help them out. It’s been three months and she hasn’t even mentioned moving back home. Her husband, Ryan, thinks she’s overstayed her welcome and it’s time for his mother-in-law to leave. She disagrees. She doesn’t bother them, she helps tremendously with their son, she even cleans around the house. She’s enjoying having her mom, what’s the big deal? She lives seven hours away; she’ll barely ever see her grandson once she leaves. Is he out of line for wanting her to leave?  (35:18)

Michael and his son’s have a chance at $1200!  Can they beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize?  (42:41)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Janitor Who Walks To Work Gets Surprised With New Car

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Janitor Who Walks To Work Gets Surprised With New Car

This is a wonderful story of people helping each other out in times of need just out of the pure goodness of their heart.

A janitor at a high school in Alabama recently had his car die on him a while back. Since then he has been walking to work.  Luckily he lives close by, but it’s still a pain to not have a car.

A teacher at the school who just bought a new car found out about what was happening and decided to give him old Toyota Highlander! What a nice thing to do. Teachers, always looking out for everyone.
