TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Losing Team’s Merchandise From The Super Bowl Goes To A Great Cause
Every year the NFL has to make merchandise for both teams playing in the Super Bowl so the winning team can have their shirts and hats right away and all the product can be on sale for fans. I’ve always heard the rumor that the losing team’s product gets sent to people in need so it doesn’t go to waste. Turns out that is true!
There is a charitable organization based out of Virginia called Good360 who does all the distributing to those in need overseas. It’s usually shirts, hats and sweatshirts. Luckily the coronavirus pandemic won’t affect the process this year either. In fact, it might actually help even more than year’s past since there are branded face masks as part of the items donated.
Good to know there will be people getting helped, even if they think the Chiefs are the Super Bowl champs.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How does quicksand form?
You may have seen this crazy story last week in Milford where two women noticed some quicksand as they were walking on Walnut Beach.
That got me thinking, how does quicksand even form?
Quicksand is a colloid consisting of fine granular material (such as sand, silt or clay) and water. Quicksand forms in saturated loose sand when the sand is suddenly agitated. When water in the sand cannot escape, it creates a liquefied soil that loses strength and cannot support weight.

Did you do something nice for someone over the weekend, but they didn’t give you any credit? Or did someone do something nice for you, but you forgot to thank them? Anna and Raven will give you the credit due! Last night’s Superbowl MVP was Tom Brady, but Raven thought someone else at the game deserved some credit!

Monday Feb 8th, 2021: Credit Due; Streaker; Trick to Remember Something
Should the day after the Super Bowl be a holiday? Raven thinks so, and he’s got some ideas on how to make it happen!
Anna doesn’t know much about football, but luckily Football Expert Tom Rock gave her 3 things she could say during the game to make it look like she knows what she’s talking about! Anna tried them out last night and it didn’t exactly go the way she expected! (1:07)
A lot of people take the big game seriously, but if you demand silence during the Super Bowl, but then do THIS during the commercials, that’s all I need to know about you! (5:06)
A lot of great plays happened last night, but the best run of the night wasn’t done by a player! Get the full story and hear the hilarious audio in the podcast! (8:08)
What do you think was the best commercial from last nights Super Bowl? Anna and Raven share their picks, and Anna’s surprisingly like a commercial that everyone else hated! ((11:49)
What did you think of last night’s halftime show? Anna and Raven thought it was good, but The Weeknd didn’t do this ONE thing that could’ve made it great! (15:49)
Did you do something nice for someone over the weekend, but they didn’t give you any credit? Or did someone do something nice for you, but you forgot to thank them? Anna and Raven will give you the credit due! Last night’s Superbowl MVP was Tom Brady, but Raven thought someone else at the game didn’t get enough credit! (19:17)
Do you have a trick for remembering complicated thing? Anna could never remember how many days are in each month until a couple callers showed her THIS trick to figure it out! (24:35)
Sam thinks his wife, Regina, is “buying into the baby proofing hype”. She wants to put gates at every stairwell, install hideous plastic things all around their furniture corners, and put plastic knobs over all the doorknobs. She even wants to hire a company that comes in and does it all for them. She says she’s baby-proofing, their son is turning one and it’s only a matter of time before he starts walking and putting himself at risk. He thinks it’s stupid. Teach the kid not to go down the stairs, let him learn the hard way. Plus, who pays for a company to do this for them? It’ll make their beautiful home ugly. Whose side are you on? (31:46)
The jackpot for Can’t Beat Raven is now $2,400! Does Danielle have what it takes to beat Raven and win the prize? (38:30)
