TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Nurse Calms People’s Verves With Dad Jokes

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Nurse Calms People’s Verves With Dad Jokes

Anytime you go in to a medical environment, doctor’s office, hospital, getting a shot or vaccine, your nerves on high. It can be a very stressful situation of many people. That’s why it’s important for nurses to ease people’s minds when caring for them. Some use creative ways to do this.

This retired nurse in New Jersey named Peter Schultz has been using a really funny tactic. Peter, who refers to himself as “Painless Pete” has been working as a volunteer to administer vaccines lately to over 100 people a day.  Before he gives them their shot, he calms their nerves by telling DAD JOKES. Perfect! Maybe the best way to take someone’s mind off the fact a needle is about to jab into their arm. I love a good dad joke. Ha ha

I know they are different but what exactly is it that makes margarine different than butter?

The most biggest difference between the two is that butter is made from dairy and is rich in saturated fats, Margarine is made mostly from plant oils. Making it a good alternative for people who can’t have dairy.

Monday April 19, 2021:  Cliché Conversations; Royal Funeral Mask; Weirdest Date Ever

Monday April 19, 2021: Cliché Conversations; Royal Funeral Mask; Weirdest Date Ever

Life may be getting back to normal, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need some help cheering up every once in a while.  Anna and Raven start your day off with the top 6 things that make you the happiest!  Anna’s not sure this list really applies to her though…  (:30)

Prince Phillip’s funeral was this weekend, so Anna and Raven decided to send the Queen a black Anna and Raven mask to wear at the service.  Obviously she didn’t do that, but for a moment Anna thought she saw another royal wearing it!  (2:54)

Do you have an annoying habit that you do while you’re working?  One caller says that if you do THIS while they are trying to work, then that’s all they need to know about you!  (6:54)

Do you ever feel like you’re having the same conversation with everyone you run into on Monday mornings?  Cliché conversations are hard to avoid, but Anna and Raven will help you out by giving you the breakdown on the three things everybody is gonna be talking about at work today!  (10:20)

What’s the best thing that happened to you this weekend?  What about the worst?  Anna and Raven want to hear about both!  Anna felt like this weekend was the first “normal” weekend in a long time, and it felt great!  This is, until her youngest daughter decided to do something gross in the bathroom…. (14:16)

How many times have you been a groomsman or bridesmaid?  Anna has been a bridesmaid at least 7 times, and she’s currently her friend’s Maid of Honor!  But as she was planning the bridesmaid dresses and bachelorette party, something suddenly made her think that she may be too old for it…  (20:17)

What’s the weirdest thing that ever happened to you on a date?  Anna once went to a guy’s apartment and found out he had a collection of samurai swords!  One caller went on date with a guy, and everything seemed great, until she realized who they were having dinner with…(26:43)

Couples Court: Lisa wants her husband, Ryan, to stop using the snooze button. He hits the snooze button every morning at least twice starting at 4:30am until 5am, and it wakes her up. She thinks it’s obnoxious, it’s one thing to have to set the alarm for that early, but to wake her up multiple times when she normally doesn’t have to wake up until 6:15am is torture! He says she’s being dramatic, just roll over and go back to bed. It’s his ritual, plus, she’s lucky she gets to sleep late for her job every day! Whose side are you on?  (37:45)

Hilary has a chance to win $3000!  Does she have what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize?  (44:24)
