If you ever say "does someone need a hug," don't direct it at a man.  Now there's scientific proof he doesn't need one . . .A new study in Germany found that women's stress levels tend to drop when their significant other hugs them.

They tested it by checking for the stress hormone cortisol in their saliva before and after they were hugged.  And it made a pretty big difference. But when men received a hug from their partner, it DIDN'T help.  Their stress level basically stayed the same, but it's not clear why.

The Mike & Carla Morning Show also talked about scam calls now expanding to texting as well as things you can do to help you wake up each and every morning...all that and more in this edition of "A Few Things We Think You Should Know!"
