Welcome to Monday's Morning Show podcast because you deserve a better morning.

We've got huge news.

This podcast, this little podcast with zero backing, just the two of us and a few people

we asked to help us out with it.

Yeah, no big company, no radio conglomerate behind us.

None of that.

We have officially hit 100,000 listens,

and we haven't even been a podcast for three months. So to all of those people who contributed

to the 100,000 listens, to all the, I mean, 500 reviews on Spotify, 500 reviews on Apple Podcasts,

all that good stuff. And made us top 25 on Spotify in our first week. Yeah. So thank you to all of you. But if you are new and you have no idea who we are, my name is Anthony. And I'm Carla Marie. And this is the Morning Show podcast. Now, real quick, for anyone who hasn't been here before, we want to explain how the podcast works. So the first thing we do is called the core four.

That's the biggest four stories going on in the world right now.

Some background info that you need to know before you hit the workday. And we know sometimes those stories can suck.

that everyone loves the most are the games that we play. We have two different games. Today you're going to hear two second tunes. You hear two seconds of a song and you have to guess what it is. And we have contestants from all over playing along. So if this is your first time listening and you're like, I can totally do it. We got a link in the description of the episode. You can fill it out and you can play one day. And you're smart, but I'll still explain what Pop Stop is, even though you've probably figured it out just by the name. Pop Stop is all the cultural news. We give you two big stories from the worlds of sports, entertainment, music, movies, all that good stuff. And then I give you what's trending, which actually Anthony describes it best. Oh, it's the thing you didn't know you needed until Carla Marie told you about it. Bam. So now that we got all that out of the way, welcome to the morning show podcast. My name is Anthony. I'm Carla Marie, and today is Monday, May 16th, 2022. The Core 4. The four headlines you need to know. A new study shows that too much screen time for children can cause ADHD aggression and anxiety.

Kids are choosing electronic media over reading, playing, or interacting with family, and who can blame them?

It's addicting, but it's impacting their social development,

which leads to internalizing or externalizing behaviors. Scientists took the data from 87 different

studies around the world involving 160,000 children under the age of 12. They found that ADHD and
