How old were you when you finally felt like a grown-up?  1,700 adults were asked that question in a new survey.  And the #1 answer was . . . "I DON'T feel like a grown-up yet." 13% of people said they still don't feel like a true grown-up.  The most common answers after that were at age 18, 20, 21, 25, and 30.  Here are the top ten things that make us feel grown up . . . Owning a home. Getting your first a full-time job. Moving out of your parents' house. Worrying about bills and finding ways to save. [...]

Having everyone home all the time means there's a lot more work to do around the house.  A LOT more. According to a new survey, the average woman says she's doing almost twice as much stuff around the house as she was a year ago.  In March of last year, women say they had an average of seven responsibilities at home . . . now it's up to 13. Only one in 10 say their partner is doing as much around the house as they are. (The survey only asked women, so we don't have any data on how men are [...]

There's an entire generation of frat bros who have now grown up and had kids.  And who says they learned nothing in college? There's a 36-year-old guy named Rudy Willingham in Seattle.  His eight-month-old daughter is in the second percentile for weight, and the doctor said she needed to take in more calories before her next appointment. So Rudy came up with an idea to get her to chug more formula . . . by using a BEER BONG. Quote, "[I] gained a ton of weight this way in college, so I figured it could do the same for her." He [...]

A new study on healthy eating just came out.  And here's the part that caught our attention:  When it comes to fruits and vegetables . . . don't overdo it. Researchers followed the eating habits of more than 100,000 people for 30 years.  And the ones who ate at least five servings of fruit and veggies a day lived longer. But they also found that five is the upper limit.  More than that won't hurt, but it also doesn't help. The perfect amount is three vegetables and two servings of fruit a day.  People who ate that combo lived longer than [...]

It's March... official to shovel or not shovel weather. It snows an inch but is 40 tomorrow, what do you do? Monthly goals are great to set for yourself until it's a February and you planned on getting to the gym 30 times in a month. Noticed that March is coming in like a lamb, do we still believe the in like a lamb out like a lion thing? Or is that only something we talk about in elementary school? You would have to win a $5,000,000 jack pot every day for 109 straight years to have a Jeff Bezos level [...]

Considering the weather we've been through so far this year, any temperature over minus-25 probably feels tropical. A new survey asked people to name the lowest temperature that they believe is warm enough to wear SHORTS outside. The most common answer was between 61 and 70, which got 25% of the vote.  Between 71 and 80 came in second, with 23% of the vote. But there are definitely people who go more extreme in both directions. 8% of people say 41 to 50 is shorts weather . . . 6% say they'll wear shorts when it's between 31 and 40 . [...]

Name a sound you used to hear a lot before the pandemic, but not anymore . . . A new survey asked people to name the top sounds they've missed during COVID.  And live music got the most votes. Live music.  38% said it's one of the top sounds they miss. Surround sound at movie theaters, 35%. Hearing a huge crowd cheering in person, 28%. The sound of kids or grandkids playing nearby, 24%.  (Isn't that also a sound parents would love to STOP hearing right now?  One day alone would be great.) Other sounds people said they miss include "sermons in church" [...]

We only cover the MOST important news on our show.  Like this:  A new study found 35% of Americans eat peanut butter straight out of the jar. Jif did a big survey for National Peanut Butter Lovers Day next Monday and asked a bunch of questions about the creamy-or-crunchy debate.  Here are five quick stats . . . 1.  Half of us prefer creamy, and half like crunchy.  So it's an even split. 2.  A third of us are "extremely" passionate about that preference.  And 63% would rather have NO peanut butter than the kind they don't like. 3.  People who [...]

You know what makes ME better looking?  Hiding as much of my face as possible. I've been saying this for years and now a survey agrees. A new survey asked people if they think wearing a mask makes them look BETTER than they do without one.  And 16% of people say yes, it does. That includes 14% of men and 17% of women . . . and the younger you are, the more likely you are to believe that's true. 29% of people say they look equally good with or without a mask . . . and 23% of people say [...]

We've all had that moment when we're driving and the CHECK ENGINE light comes on.  And then we've all ALSO had that moment where we just ignore it, figure it will go away on its own, and keep on driving. According to a new survey, people will drive around for an average of nine days with the check engine light on before they actually take their car in to the shop. The survey also found almost half of Americans have been late to an event or missed it completely because of their car breaking down. The most common things we've missed [...]
