Wednesday, Feb 17th, 2021: Wellness Wednesday; Baked Alaska; My Apologies

Have you ever had Baked Alaska?  Have you ever HEARD of Baked Alaska?  It’s one of the most delicious, but least well known desserts out there, which made Anna and Raven wonder…what are the most underrated desserts?

What if you could relieve stress and fall asleep faster, just by listening to your favorite songs?  Well you can, if you just do this ONE trick while you’re listening!  Find out what it is in the podcast!  (3:01)

It’s one thing to want to be comfortable while you sleep, but if you wear THIS when you go to sleep, that’s all Anna needs to know about you!  (6:59)

Is your dog well behaved?  If not, Dr. Mary Burch from the American kennel Club spoke to Anna and Raven about some quick tips to get your dog well-trained in no time!  (10:41)

Do you have a song in your heart?  Call the Anna and Raven Sing-a-Long Line and let it out!.  Call 833-431-0905, leave a voicemail of you singing your favorite song, and Anna and Raven might play it on the air!  (14:29)

Have you ever had to apologize to someone?  Like, REALLY apologize?  Justin Timberlake has been in the news after making what some consider a half-hearted apology to Britney Spears for his past behavior.  Justin may not mean his apology, but Anna certainly meant her’s after she did THIS to a co-worker!  (18:00)

Have you ever broken something at work?  Novak Djokovic got into some trouble at the Australian Open after breaking the actual court with his tennis racket!  But even that doesn’t hold a candle to how Raven treats the studio trash can!  (25:16)

The pandemic will hopefully be over soon, but even after the era of social distancing is over, what will you still not do?  Will you ever borrow chapstick again?  Will you ever shake hands with someone?  Will you kiss a stranger at a bar?  Anna and Raven go over their do’s and don’t’s in a post-pandemic world!  (29:09)

Chrissy, Aaron, and their three children are very close with another family. For years they’ve done everything together, BBQ’s, vacations, and during the pandemic, that’s stayed the same. Recently the families discovered the their thirteen-year-old daughter and their friends fourteen-year-old son have developed a relationship. Mom says they must put a stop to this for so many reasons; like they’re too young, and what about the damage it could to both families’ relationship when they inevitably break up. Dad thinks if they’re going to be dating people as they grow up it would make more sense for it to be someone they know and given all the time they’ve all spent together, it’s only natural. Whose side are you on?  (32:45)

Liz has a shot at winning $600!  All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Is she up to the task, or will Raven’s winning streak continue?  (40:44)

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do bananas curve?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do bananas curve?

I’ve always wondered this. Why do bananas look like they do?

The reason behind it is that bananas go through a process called “negative geo-tropism”. Which I can hardly pronounce, but it basically is a fancy way to say that they grow upwards towards the sun instead of towards the ground like some other foods. Which is what causes the curved shape.
